THE OUTLOOK (Department of Classified Advertising) BY THE WAY A collection of autographs of the signers of the Declaration of Independence was recently sold at auction in New York City. It contained all the signatures except those of Button Gwinnett and Thomas Lynch, Jr., "whose autographs," the catalogue stated, "as is well known, are quite unprocurable." The scarcity of these autographs is perhaps to be explained by the fact that in the Revolutionary War Button Gwinnett's property was destroyed in a raid by the British and that he fell in a duel a little later; while Thomas Lynch died at the early age of thirty, not long after he had signed the Declaration. The collection, bound in a handsome quarto volume, sold for $860. A complete set of the autographs was, it is said, sold a few years ago for about $25,000. A small monument reminiscent of oldtime New York is often noted on Riverside Drive, near that somber memorial, Grant's Tomb. The little stone is inscribed, "Erected to the Memory of an Amiable Child." The touching inscription has aroused much curiosity as to the unrecorded name of the victim of an untimely fate. A New York City paper says that the child was the son of George Pollock, who owned a tract of land in this section in 1797. While this "amiable child" was on a fishing excursion with his father at a place called " Fishing Rock," a short distance out in the river, he fell overboard and was drowned. The father wrote, in conveying to another person the land where the monument stands: "The surrounding ground will fall into the hands of I know not whom, whose prejudices or better taste may remove the monument and lay the inclosure open. You will confer a peculiar and interesting favor upon me by allowing me to convey the inclosure to you, keeping it, however, always inclosed and sacred." In a newly published "Short History of Rome," by Dr. Ferrero and Dr. Barbagallo, this interesting passage occurs: "This campaign [after the battle of Thapsus] differed from its predecessors in the ferocity with which it was carried on. This time Cæsar showed no mercy. . . It is an eternal law that a struggle, as it is protracted, becomes more ferocious." The last sentence may have its bearing on present-day history. The immense increase in the price of food products in Germany, indicating a food shortage, is seen in a table drawn from German sources by the Bureau of Labor at Washington. Since the beginning of the war beef has increased 149 per cent in price; geese, 129 per cent; tomatoes, 500 per cent; green peas, 900 per cent; sauerkraut, 167 per cent; eggs, 357 per cent; soap, 456 per cent. In percentage of increase "bloaters" are at the head of the list, these delectable sea dainties having increased 1,700 per cent in price. While they used to be about a cent each, they are now nearly a mark (24 cents). Is a pilot an adviser to the captain of a ship or is he the responsible navigator while he is in charge? It would seem that this question should have been threshed out long ago, but "Shipping," in its report of testimony before an investigating commission at Halifax, says: "Captain Hannan said that the pilot acted only in an advisory capacity and that the responsibility for navigation lies always with the master. On this point Chairman Robb disagreed "Some sort of a state-sanctioned Salon is A colored minister of the Baptist Church, so runs a story told in the "Christian Register," in order to strengthen and confirm the faith of his congregation, took as his text; "In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judea." "Oh," said he, "how I like to read these precious words in the blessed Bible! You don't read anywhere about John the Presbyterian, or John the Methodist, or John the Episcopalian. No, brethren, it is John the Baptist..
