REMOTE STORAGE You Can Speak to a Million People Every Evening At the first glance this statement appears so startling that one might take it for a bit of exaggeration. But it is not; it is literally true. Here is the proof: The Chicago Daily News sold during the first eleven months of 1906 a daily average of 318,611 papers. Many newspapers estimate that an average of five people read each copy of a newspaper, but, to be conservative, let it be assumed that the number of people who daily read these 318,611 papers averages three and one-half. This would place the number of Daily "News readers at 1,115,139 manifestly a fair figure. t given us IT ian are the UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS for trifli i a few hour LIBRARY idium.

But Daily News "want ads" are also used regularly or tran- siently by many people throughout the United States and in foreign countries. Ordinarily "want ads" from distant cities will receive good service if sent by mail, but for quick action in an emergency they should be sent by telegraph or cable If you do not wish to use your own name and address in your advertisement, you can have all replies sent to a box number (which the paper will supply) in care of The Daily News and, on your request, such replies will be forwarded to you promptly by mail or express. You will be surprised to learn how thoroughly these little ads are read by the million daily readers of The Daily News. And they don't cost much. [TWENTY-THIRD YEAR] THE CHICAGO DAILY NEWS AND YEAR-BOOK FOR 1907 COMPILED BY JAMES LANGLAND. M. A. [Copyright, 1'JOG, by The Chicago Daily News Co.] PREFACE. Many things occurred in 1906 concerning which questions will be frequently asked in the future. Among the events of world-wide or national importance these may be mentioned: The failure of the first national assembly in Russia, the Morocco conference at Algeciras, the passage of a bill by the British house of commons changing the school system of the country, the temporary downfall of the Cuban republic, the eruption of Mount Vesuvius, the earth- quakes and fires in San Francisco, Cal., and Valparaiso, Chile; the passing of the railroad rate, meat inspection, pure food and other notable laws by the American congress, the admission into the union of Oklahoma and Indian Territory as one state, the legal proceedings by the government against the beef, oil and other trusts, and the election of a new congress. It would be easy to extend the list, as a glance at the index to this volume will show, but nothing more is needed to prove that the history of the year was of excep- tional interest and that a book giving data relating to it should be of value to those who do not have the time or facilities to search through newspaper files, magazines and other periodicals for the information they desire. While much space has necessarily been devoted to historical matters the regular chronological, statistical, political and other features of The Daily News Almanac and Year- Book, whether relating to national, state or local affairs, have been given careful attention. With the end in view of making the facts and figures presented not only comprehensive but reliable and up to date, they have as usual been obtained as far as possible from official and original sources. /& Chicago Daily News Almanac and Year- Book. 1907.

See page 3 for list The central standard time of the visible phases of the eclipse of the moon Jan. 29 and all of the phases of the eclipse' of the moon July 24-25, 1907, and a figure showing the course of the moon through the earth's shadow, are herewith given. Eclipse of Jan. 29: Moon enters penumbra at a at 4:4G a. m. ; moon enters umbra at b of eclipses in 1907. Eclipse of July 24-25: Moon enters penum- bra at a at 7:59 p. m., July 24; moon enters umbra at b at 9:04 p. m. ; middle of eclipse (c) 10:22 p. m. ; moon leaves umbra at d at 11:41 p. m. ; moon leaves penumbra at e at 0:46 a. m. July 25. This eclipse will be upon the northern limb of the moon, as shown in the figure, ZCLTPJE. OF JULY 3V- -25 at 6:06 a. m. ; middle of eclipse (c), 7:38 a. m. The remainder of this eclipse takes place after the rising of the sun and the setting of the moon and will therefore be invisible. The size of the eclipse is 8.5 digits, the moon's apparent diameter being taken as 12 digits. the moon passing through the southern por- tion of the earth's shadow, eclipsing 7.4 of her 12 digits of apparent diameter. The diminution of light while the moon is in the penumbra or light shadow will be slight, the real eclipse beginning as the moon enters the dark shadow. TRANSIT OF MERCURY. A transit of the planet Mercury over the sun's disk will occur Nov. 14. The sun will rise with Mercury well advanced on the Journey across his face. Look for a black spot well to the north of the sun's center. He will pass off at the eastern limb of the sun at 8 a. m. Caution Use smoked or colored glass in observing; otherwise serious damage to the eyes Is probable. UNITED STATES LIFE-SAVING SERVICE. The life-saving establishment at the close of the fiscal year ended June 30, 1905, com- prised 277 stations, of which 200 were on the Atlantic and gulf coasts, 61 on the coasts of the great lakes, 16 on the Pacific coast and 1 on the Ohio river at Louisville. Ky. The crews numbered in all about 300 men. Statistics of the service for the year ended June 30, 1905, and from Nov. 1, 1871. when the system was established, to June 30, 1905, follow: 1905. lifH-1905.

STATE NICKNAMES AND STATE FLOWERS. MARS NEAREST TEE EARTH. The planet Mars will attract the attention of the world in 1907 because of the fact that he will approach nearer to us than he has been within the last' fifteen years or will be again in the following fifteen years. The reason for this will be understood by an in- spection of the annexed figure. When the points C (aphelion) in the earth's orbit and A (perihelion) in Mars' orbit come in line with the sun, then the earth and Mars will be the nearest possible. A moderately close approach to these conditions occurs every fifteen years. In 1907, on July 12, these plan- ets will occupy the positions in their re- spective orbits E and F. On July 5 the earth will be at C or farthest from the sun, and on Sept. 26 Mars will be at A, or near- est to the sun. It is apparent that there must be a point between A and C where these bodies are in line with the sun and where they will be nearest, and as has been said this occurs at E and F.

In 1883 the United States and Canada agreed to adopt, chiefly for the convenience of the railroads, a standard of time. For this purpose the country was divided into four sections or zones, each fifteen degrees of longtitude in width, equivalent to one hour. These sections were designated as the eastern, central, mountain and Pacific. The eastern is based on the 75th, the cen- tral on the 90th, the mountain on the 105th and the Pacific on the 120th meridian. All places within seven and one-half degrees of longitude on each side of these meridians have the same standard time, but only those on the meridians themselves have the same standard and local mean or solar time. The local mean time of other places varies according to the distance east or west of the meridians. East it is later, west earlier. Chicago, for instance, is in west longtitude 87 degrees 38 minutes, or 2 degrees and 22 minutes east of the 90th meridian. Each degree of latitude being equal to 4 minutes of time, the city's local mean time is con- sequently about 9 minutes earlier than standard time. In other words, when it is 12 o'clock noon in Chicago by standard time it is 11:51 a. m. by local mean or solar time. The difference between the standard and local time of the principal cities of the United States is shown in the following table: City. Minutes. Albany. N.

By noting the variation in time between the cities representing the eastern, central, mountain and Pacific divisions in the United States and those in Alaska, Hawaii, Porto Rico and the Philippines and in foreign countries the variation in time between all the other cities in the United States and the iplaces named may be easily calculated. The time in all cases except where other- wise specified is local or actual time.

N., April 13, 1906. two ollir.'i-s and five seamen were killed and one seaman was injured. The accident occurred just after target practice, the ship at the time being off the southeastern coast of Cuba. The powder was being sent below when in some unexplained way it became ignited. WEDDING ANNIVERSARIES. WEATHER FORECASTS AND SIGNALS. The weather bureau of the United States department of agriculture publishes dally more than 100,000 weather bulletins, not counting the forecasts In the newspapers. Most of these bulletins are In the form of postal cards printed by postmasters from telegraphic reports and sent by them to outlying towns for display at suitable points. There Is also an elaborate system of redistribution by means of telephones and railroads from established centers, so that there are comparatively few accessible places which do not now receive dally weather forecasts within a very short time after the observers have completed their work. The old system of conveying informa- tion about the weather by means of Hag displays Is also in general use. EXPLANATION OF WEATHER FLAGS. No. 2. No. 3. No. 4. No. 5. Blue flag.

When No. 4 is placed above No. 1, 2 or 3 it Indicates warmer; when below, colder; when not displayed, the temperature is expected to remain about stationary. During the late spring and early fall the cold-wave flag is also used to Indicate anticipated frosts. EXPLANATION OF STORM-WARNING FLAGS. Northwest winds. Southwest winds. Northeast winds. Southeast winds. "Hurricane 1 ' signal. A red flag with a black center indicates that a storm of marked violence is expected. The pennants displayed with the flags indicate the direction of the wind: Red, easterly (from northeast to south); white, westerly (from southwest to north). The pennant above the flag indicates that the wind is expected to blow from the northerly quadrants; below, from south- erly quadrants. By night a red light indicates easterly winds and a white light above a red light westerly winds. Two red flags, with black centers, displayed one above the other, indicate the expected approach of tropical hurricanes, and also ot those extremely severe antl dangerous storms which occasionally move across the lakes and northern Atlantic coast. Hurricane warnings are not displayed at night. THERMOMETERS COMPARED. There are three kinds of thermometers, with varying scales, in general use through- out the world the Fahrenheit, Reaumur and centigrade. The freezing and boiling points on their scales compare as follows: Therm/iinetcr Freezingpt. ]tt Fahrenheit 32 degrees 212 degrees Reaumur zero 80 degrees Centigrade zero 100 degrees The degrees on one scale are reduced to their equivalents on another by these formu- las: Fahrenheit to Reaumur Subtract 32, mul- tiply by four-ninths. . Fahrenheit to Centigrade Subtract 32, multiply by five-ninths. Reaumur to Fahrenheit Multiply by nine- fourths, add 32. Reaumur to Centigrade Multiply by five- fourths.

Officers Three commissioners are appoint- ed by the president to assist him in classify- ing the government offices and positions, formulating rules and enforcing the law. Their office is in Washington, D. C. The chief examiner is appointed by the commis- sioners to secure accuracy, uniformity and justice in the proceedings of the examining boards. The secretary to the commission is appointed by the president. General Rules The fundamental rules governing appointments to government posi- tions are tound in the civil-service act it- self. Based upon these are many other reg- ulations formulated by the commission and promulgated by the president from time to time as new contingencies arise. The pres- ent rules were approved March 20, 1903, and went into effect April 15, 1903. In a gen- eral way they require that there must be free, open examinations of applicants for positions in the public service; that ap- UNITED STATES CIVIL SERVICE. Civil-service act approved Jan. 16, 1883. highest in the examinations; that appoint- ments to the service in Washington shall be apportioned among the states and terri- tories according to population; that there shall be a period (six months) of probation that no person in the public service is for that reason obliged to contribute to any po- litical fund or is subject to dismissal for refusing to so contribute; that no person in the public service has any right to use his political action of any person. Applicants for positions shall not be questioned as to their political or religious beliefs and no discrimination shall be exercised against or in favor of any applicant or employe on ac- count of his religion or politics. The classi- fied civil service shall include all officers and employes in the executive civil service of the United States except laborers and persons whose appointments are subject to confirmation by the senate. Examinations These are conducted by boards of examiners chosen from among persons in government employ and are held twice a year in all the states and territories at convenient places. In Illinois, for ex- ample, they are usually held at Cairo, Chi- cago and Peoria. The dates are announced through the newspapers or by other means. They can always be learned by applying to flce or custom house. Those who desire to take examination are advised to write to the commission in Washington for the "Manual of Examinations," which is sent free to all applicants. It Is revised semi- annually to Jan. 1 and July 1. The January edition contains a schedule of the spring examinations and the July edition contains a schedule of the fall examinations. Full information is given as to the methods and rules governing examinations, manner of making application, qualifications required. regulations for rating examination papers, certification for and chances of appoint- ment, and as far as possible it outlines the scope of the different subjects of general and technical examinations. These are practical in character and are designed to test the relative capacity and fitness to discharge the duties to be performed. It is necessary to obtain an average percentage of 70 to be eligible for appointment, except that applicants entitled to preference be- cause of honorable discharge from the mili- tary or naval service for disability result- ing from wounds or sickness incurred in the line of duty need obtain .but 65 per cent. The period of eligibility is one year. Qualifications of Applicants-;-No person will be examined who is not a citizen of the United States; who is not within the age limitations prescribed; who is physically disqualified for the service which he seeks; who has been guilty of criminal, infamous, dishonest or disgraceful conduct; who has been dismissed from the public service for delinquency and misconduct or has failed to receive absolute appointment after pro- bation; who is addicted to the habitual use of intoxicating liquors to excess, or who has made a false statement In his application. The age limitations in the more important branches of the public service are: Post- office, 18 to 45 years; rural letter carriers. 17 to 55; internal revenue. 21 years and over; railway mail, 18 to 35; lighthouse, 18 to 50; life saving, 18 to 45; general depart- mental. 20 and over.

Applicants for certain other posi- tions have to come up to similar physical requirements. Method of Appointment Whenever a va- cancy exists the appointing officer makes requisition upon the civil-service commis- sion for a certification of names to fill the vacancy, specifying the kind of position va- cant, the sex desired and the salary. The commission thereupon takes from the proper register of eligibles the names of the three persons standing highest of the sex called for aad certifies them to the appointing of- ficer, who is required to make the selection. He may choose any one of the three names, returning the other two to the register to await further certification. The time of ex- amination is not considered, as the highest in average percentage on the register must be certified first. If after a probationary period of six months the name of the ap- pointee is continued on the roll ; -of the de- partment in which he serves the appoint- ment is considered absolute. Removals No person can be removed from a competitive position except for such cause as will promote the efficiency of the public service and for reasons given in writing.

Following are summaries of the principal features of the national party platforms adopted in 1904. The full texts will be found in The Daily News Almanac and Year-Book for 1905, beginning on page 126. REPUBLICAN. The platform advocates the principle of protection and reciprocity, the maintenance of the gold standard, the en- couragement of the merchant marine, the upbuilding of the navy, the exclusion of Chinese labor, honest enforcement of the civil-service law, liberal administration of the pension laws, arbitration, the protection of American citizens abroad, the reduction of representation in congress and the elect- oral college of states in which the elective franchise is unconstitutionally limited, and the control of combinations of capital and labor. The declaration in regard to pro- tection Is: "We insist upon the mainte- nance of the principles of protection and therefore rates of duty should be readjusted only when conditions have so changed that the public interest demands their altera- tion. But this work cannot be safely com- mitted to any other hands than those of the republican party." DEMOCRATIC. The enactment of laws giv- ing labor and capital impartially their just rights, trial by jury for indirect contempt, liberal appropriations for the improvement of waterways, reductions in the expendi- tures of the government, honesty in the public service and the preservation of the "open door" for commerce in the orient are favored. The platform declares against im- perialism and the retention of the Philip- pines, denounces protection as a robbery of the many for the enrichment of the few, and favors the revision and general reduc- tion of the tariff by the friends of the masses and for the common weal and not by the friends of its abuses. Trusts and combinations are denounced as a menace to beneficial competition and rebates and dis- criminations by transportation companies are declared to be the most potent agency in promoting and strengthening unlawful conspiracies against trade. Demands of the platform include: Election of United States senators by a direct vote of the peo- ple; the admission to statehood of Okla- homa. Indian Territory, Arizona and New Mexico; the extermination of polygamy; the defeat of the ship-subsidy bill; the main- tenance of the Monroe doctrine; the reduc- tion of the army and army expenditures; the enforcement of the civil-service laws, and the defeat of the attempt to revive race prejudices. SOCIALIST. The platform pledges the par- ty to work and vote for shortened days of labor and increased wages; for the insur- ance of workers against sickness, accident and lack of employment; for pensions for aged and exhausted workers; for public ownership of the means of transportation, communication and exchange; for the grad- uated taxation of incomes, inheritances and of franchise and land values; for equal suf- frage of men and women; for the preven- tion of the use of military against labor In the settlement of strikes; for the free administration of justice; for the initiative, refeiendum and proportional representation, and for the recall of officers by their con- stituents. These things, it is declared, are but a preparation of the workers to seize the whole powers of government in order that they may thereby lay hold of the whole system of industry and thus coine into their rightful inheritance. PROHIBITIONIST. The platform pledges the party, whenever given the power by the suffrage of the people, to the enactment and enforcement of laws prohibiting and abolishing the manufacture, importation, transportation and sale of alcoholic bever- ages and favors a rigid application of the principles of justice to all combinations of capital and labor. International arbitration, reform of divorce laws, the final extirpa- tion of polygamy and the overthrow of the system of illegal sanction of the social evil. POPULIST. It Is demanded that all money shall be issued by the government in such quantities as shall maintain a stability in prices, every dollar to be a full legal ten- der; that postal banks be established; that the right of labor to organize shall not be Interfered with; that laws be passed to abolish child labor and suppress convict labor and sweatshops, and that the govern- ment shall own the railroads and telegraph and telephone systems. The eight-hour day is favored and legal provision under which the people may exercise the Initiative, ref- erendum and proportional representation and direct vote for all public officers with right to recall are urged. SOCIALIST-LABOR. The platform urges that a summary end be put to the existing class conflict by placing the land and all the means of production, transportation and distribution into the bands of the people as a collective body and substituting the co- operative commonwealth for the present planless production, industrial war and so- cial disorder. BATTLE WITH MOROS NEAR JOLO P. I. More than 800 hostile Moros were killed in a battle with United States troops March 6, 7 and 8, 1906. on Mount Dajo, an extinct volcano, four miles south of Jolo. P. I. The American losses were eighteen men killed and fifty-sMx wounded. The attack- ing troops were commanded by Col. Joseph W. Duncan of the 6th infantry and the bat- tle was witnessed by Maj.-Gen. Leonard Wood and Brig.-Gen. Tasker H. Bliss. The fighting took place on a steep lava cone 2.100 feet high, which had been strongly fortified by bands of unfriendly Moros who had been giving the military authorities much trouble. The natives fought with fa- natical bravery and exposed themselves to certain death in preference to being taken alive. They used rifles, spears, barongs and knives and hurled rocks and limbs of trees upon the soldiers who had to climb up the last few hundred feet by taking hold of vines and projections of rocks. The Amer- ican troops, which included a naval detach- ment, were credited with great gallantry and with many individual feats of daring. CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC AND YEAR-BOOK FOR 1907.

JA11 kinds. THE MONROE DOCTRINE. The famous "Monroe doctrine" was enun- ciated by President Monroe in his message to congress Dec. 2, 1823. Referring to steps taken to arrange the respective rights of Russia, Great Britain and- the United States on the northwest coast of this conti- nent, the president went on to say: "In the discussions to which this Interest has given rise, and In the arrangements by which they may terminate, the occasion has been deemed 'proper for asserting, as a principle in which the rights and Interests of the United States are Involved, that the American continents, by the free and in- dependent condition which they have as- sumed and maintain, are henceforth not to be considered as subjects for future colo- nization by any European power. * * * We owe it, therefore, to candor and to the amicable relations existing between the United States and those powers to declare that we should consider any attempt on their part to extend their system to any portion of this hemisphere as dangerous to our peace and safety. With the existing colonies or dependencies of any European power we have not interfered and shall not interfere. But with the governments who have declared their independence and main- tain it, and whose independence we have, on great consideration and on just princi- ples, acknowledged, we could not view any interposition for the purpose of oppressing them or controlling in any other manner their destiny by any European power in any other light than as the manifestation of ah unfriendly disposition toward the United States." THE DRAGO DOCTRINE. When in the winter of 1902-03 Germany. Britain and Italy blockaded the ports of Venezuela in attempt to make the latter country settle up its debts. Dr. L. F. Drngo. a noted jurist of Argentina, maintained that force cannot be used by one power to col- lect money owing to its citizens by another. power. Prominence was given to the con- tention by the fact tha-t it was officially up- held by Argentina and favored by other Smith American republics. The principle embodied has become generally known as the "Drago doctrine." AGRICITLTURAL STATISTICS. 67 AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS. WHEAT CROP OF COUNTRIES NAMED (1900-1905).

MOROCCO CONFEREE By an agreement reached Sept. 28, 1905, France and Germany arranged to submit to an international conference the matters in dispute between them with relation to Mo- rocco. France, in 1904, "signed a treaty with Great Britain by the terms of which the former was given a free hand in Morocco in return for concessions to the British in Egypt. Germany objected on the ground that her commercial interests were threat- ened and demanded certain reforms in the finances and policing of Morocco. France re- sented the interference and for a time war seemed imminent. Under the presidency of the duke of Almo- dovar the conference began its sessions at Algeciras, Spain, Jan. 16, 1906. All the great powers, including the United States, were represented, the American delegates being Henry White, ambassador to Italy, and S. R. Gummere, minister to Morocco. The other leading delegates were: France, M. Paul Revoll; Germany, Herr von Rado- witz; Great Britain, Sir Arthur Nicolson; Italy, Marquis Viscontt Venosta; Morocco, Mohammed el Torres; Austria, Herr Kaze- brodski. The subjects laid before them were these: The organization and control of the Moroccan police, the exclusion of contraband arms, the creation of a state bank to facili- tate financial reforms, the best means of collecting revenues, the creation of new FCE AT ALGECIRAS. sources of income and the safeguarding of the economic liberty of the country. From the start the delegates found the work of reconciling the conflicting views of France and Germany difficult and slow. On several occasions it appeared as though the conference would be fruitless, especially be- cause of the divergent views on the question of policing the ports of Morocco, but an agreement was finally reached and a con- vention signed April 7, on which date the meeting ended. The final article regarding the distribution of police at the ports was adopted from the Russian draft, though the Austrian and American delegates had con- siderable to do with making it acceptable. By it France was given the policing of the ports of Mogador. Safn, Mazagan and Rabat; Spain was asked to police Tetuan and Larache, and France and Spain were as- signed the task of jointly policing Tangier and Casablanca. The police -force was to consist of 2,500 natives with Caldsas as com- manders, French and Spanish as instructors and a Swiss as inspector-general. The dura- tion of the police agreement was fixed at three years. In the settlement of the bank question France was given three shares and other nations one each. It was arranged that four bank supervisors were to be ap- pointed by the Bank of England, the Bank of France, the Imperial Bank of Germany and the Bank of Spain. UNITED STATES MILITARY ACADEMY.

SCHOOL SAVINGS-BANK STATISTICS. Cp to Jan. 1, 1906, the school savings bank system was in operation in 1,023 schools of 122 cities of twenty-five states of America. The total deposits in these banks since they were started amounted to $4,- 864,575.98. of which $3,641.015.66 had been withdrawn, leaving a balance of $1,223,- 560.32 due the little depositors. The school savings-bank system was in- troduced by J. H. Thiry in the schools of Long Island City (now part of New York), N. Y., March 16, 1885, and it is largely through his efforts that it has been adopted in so many places in the United States and Cauad*. The purpose of the system is, of course, to encourage thrift, prudence and business methods among children at an age when their life habits are in process of formation. It has been found to produce excellent results in this direction and in many instances parents have profited by the example yet by their children. The following figures are taken from a table of statistics furnished by Mr. Thiry. They include only places in which the number o'f depositors is 1,000 or more: . CITY. Banks* Depos- itor*.
