BIG WIRE TRUST. . Rod and Nail Interests Are Concentrated \Vith $50,000,000 Capital. ‘New York, March 5.-—Plans for a combination of the steel wire, rod and nail manufacturers were practically completed at a meeting held in the Waldorf-Astoria yesterday. The com- - bination will represent about $50,000,000 in capital, and be known as the Ameri- can Steel and Wire Company. The larg— est steel wire and rod companies in the country, about fifteen in all, are in the combination. Five small concerns are not in the combination. Although Judge E. H. Garry of Chi- cago, who is the leader in the consoli- dation, would not name the obdurate concerns yesterday, he said they are located in Oregon, Illinois,_0hio, Penn- sylvania and New York. About 20,000 men will be employed by the combina- tion, but as the export trade in steel wire, rods and nails is expected to be ’largely increased through the combina- tion, it is likely that the number of workmen will soon be increased. The final meeting of the projectors of the combination will be held on April 1. Then the officers of the combination will be selected. George T. Oliver of Pittsburg is likely to become the presi- dent. of the concern. After Sagasta’s Life.

The police believe they have nipped an Anarchistic plot in the bud. Suspected men are being shadowed and a number of houses have already been searched. No Currency Refonn Bill. Washington, March 5.—-The House Committee on Banking and Currecny has ceased to have meetings.

Uow§Artemus \Vard Escaped from an Awkward Sltuation.- . . . Before Artemus Ward went to Lon- don, where. the English fell in love with him only to mourn 'his"pi'ema- ture death among them, he’had con- quered the respect and affeétion of his own countrymen by his: quaint and kindly humor. The itinerary of one of his tours led him to a town, in cen- tral Pennsylvania. It was about the middle of January. The day of the lecture came, and with it early came Artemus. Before noon 'a tremendous snowstorm broke over't’hat part of Pennsylvania and raged "furiously all day and night. - MN When the lecturer appeared on the stage that night and-looked about him, in all the largeytheater he saw only three men, each in the seat his coupon called for; .all three, as it happened being far toithe rear. The three men looked, lonely and uncomfortable. Keeping that solemn face of his at its solemnest, Artemus advanced to the footlight’s'and beck- oning to the three men, said: “Come up closer, gentlemen. I want to speak to you.” He had to repeat this invi- tation before his auditors understood that he‘ meant what he said and mus- tered courage to go forward. When they had taken seats together in the front row, Artemus saidi' “There, now, that’s more sociable.” He paus- ed a moment and went on: “Gentlemen, you are entitled to see my show and hear my lecture, if you are so disposed. But I understand that underneath this hall there is an excellent cafe, and I suggest that we spend the evening there, you as my guests. Though reluctant to forego the show and lecture, as they saw Artemus had no mind for them, the three agreed to his proposition, the lights were turned out, and the little party de- scended to the cafe, where for hours they made merry, and whence one of them at least was most reluctant to start for home. He says he never had a more enjoyable time in his life, and that if Artemus Ward was not at his best then his best must have been ”past all whooping.” For the stories he told and the way he told them made them forget time and circum- stances and completely banished any lingering regret for what they had not received upstairs—New York Times.
