as its share in the unique partnership
between It and the local streetcar com

solution of the tradtion tangle. The first

cago Railways company, five months,
$610,083; for the Chicago City railway,
mix months, $406,48 making a total of
$1,016,667., , The city's,, share of this
sum, as stipulated in the recent ordi
nances of the companies is 56 per cent,
which amounts to a total In cash of j
$608,612 for the half year. At this ratal

city ef Berlin. Germany, la again shown
by the Introduction of a motor sprink
ling and cleaning cart which Is proving
economical and satisfactory to the city
department. The machine has an eight-
horsepower accumulating moior ana car

Is destined to replace the sprinkling
wagon and the rubber scraper and saves
the city hundreds of dollars, besides do
ing the work more quickly and satisfac
torily. It combines the .sprinkling and
cleaning operations in one single act.
One man in this machine can do the
work formerly accomplished by several
sprinkling wagons drawn by horses, and
the work of hundreds of men with the
rubber cleaner.

of at least $1,260,000 and probably more
in future years, as tne cny eruw nu

by the famous manipulations of Charles

Mrs. Maldwln Drummond. recently
Mrs. Marshall Field Jr.. mother of the
bovs who sre the principal heirs of
Marshall Field's $150,000,000 fortune,
waa not a rich woman as wealth Is ac
counted In these days. Marshall Field
Jr. left her about $500,000, and his
father's will provided that she should
have the Income from $1,000,000. less
whatever sum she received from her
husband, this income to revert again
In th estate UDon her death. It has
been said that had Mr. Field Sr. lived a
few months longer a codicil to his fa
mous will would have given his daugh
ter-in-law, to whom he was becoming
stronalv attached, the Income from sev
eral millions Instead of one. Rome con
lectures are being indulged as to the
amount Mrs. Drummond will be likely
to save out of the Income on $1,000,000,
which at 6 per cent would equal the sal
ary of the president of the United
States. According to W. a. Beale. who
drew the famous Field will, her re
cent marriage to Drummond will In no
way affect her legacies. That she re
married caused no surprise, as she was
from childhood a beauty, with strong
domestic tastes creditable to her ances
try, which was German-American, her
father having been Louis C. Huck. a
brewer snd' malster. The two Field
boys. Marshal Field III and Henry
Field, are now In England being edu
cated, but it Is understood that they
will return to this country for their
final education, as it was the wish of
the late Marahall Field that they should
enter an American university.
A national convention to consider the
subject of the country's natural re
sources and the best means of preserv
ing them, may be called in Chicago
shortly after the election, if plans of
the newly organlxed movement In this
direction materialize. The matter has
been taken up by the Conservation
League of America, of which Walter L..
Fisher of this city Is president, and
President Roosevelt. William H. Taft
and William J. Bryan are officers. The

work of oonservatlon. But conservation
la not the only 'aim of the league. It

the development of resources, especially

A novelty In postage stamps which

been instituted by some of th big busi

stamping sf flme monograms on the
stsmps to serve as Identification and as
protection against therts by employes.
This is th first marking on postage
tamps other than cancellation that na
ever been allowed. Borne large . com
