THE Ohio Legislature should lose no
more time in talking about redistricting
the Stace for Congressional purposes, but
go at it at once and finish the job. The
law, as it now exists, is imperfect, be-
cause of its depriving the twentieth ward
of this city from having any voice in the
election of a Congressman. So it is in
cumbent on the Legislature to either
amend and perfect that act or to pass a
new one. Ohio is now Democratic
State, and the Democratic party cannot
lose anything by boldly asserting their
rights. The Republicans redistricted
the State in 1872 so as to give the Demo
Gratis just six ont of the twenty districts,
There is no occasion for a Democratic
Legislature to perpetuate this outrage

contemporary criticism of their exploits

lacked the decency to rid the world Of

FROM the day in the year of 1873 that
the contraction aud resumption policy
was proposed and inaugurated by John
Sherman and his gang of barnacIes, to
the present time, all the evils, pressure
and panic that have followed in the trail
of that unwise policy were set forth and
prophesied in advance by its opponents.
The thousands who have been ruined
that few might be enriched, can nei
ther forgive nor forget the authors of
such nelarious legislation. Had the same
financial policy been pursued in any
other country, a political, if not a So

THE HISTORY OF TWO FURNACES.

The Mineral Ridge furnaces that were
sold at Warren Saturday, for $40 APO, cost
originally Sl2O 600, and were sold again
for $500 GOO, and then again for Sl0O 600
In 1860 Wood, Warner C. Co., built fur
mace at Mineral Ridge, at a cost Of $50.
600. Shortly afterwards james Wood &
Co., of Pittsburgh, erected another stack
at about the same figures. They were
unable to agree with Charles Rhodes,
Superintendent of the Mahoning rail-
road, as to freight rates on ore from
Cleveland. Mr.. Rhodes refused to make
the same rates with Wood q Co., that he
gave to Niles and Youngstown. When
Captain Wood, the head of the firm, said
be would not pay RhOdes's figures, the
railway magnate said: "Yuu nave built
your furnace, and can't help yourself"
Wood replied that he "wouldn't live in a
country where he couldn't have half the
say in making bargain" He thereupon
tore down the furnace, move it to Wheat
land, Pa. where he built three others.
A few months after this, Jonathan War
ner bought the Wood interest in the re,
manning furnace, located at Ohltown,and
moved it to the Ridge. So many furna-
Ces were little too much for Mr. War
ner, and he soon found himself, to use
his own expression, "ah0at on the ocean
without compass or rudder," and his
financial embarrassment was relieved by
the formation of the Mineral Ridge iron
and coal company. This company sold
to the Brown Iron Company, who held
possession for two years, and then sold
back to Mr.. Warner. He operated these
stacks until the crash of two years ago,
when their fires went out, and they re-
NAMED idle to the present time. Mr.,
Warner has again become possessor of
the property at one.twentieth the price
these valuable furnaces sold for YOuag8.

TUEsDAY, last week, was the anniver.
sary of Shakspeare's death. 1t is
thought that it is also the anniversary of
his birth. 1t is known that he died on
April %, 1916; it is known by the parish
record he was christened on April 26,
1884, and it was customary at that time
to christen infants on the third day after
birth 1t has been generally accepted that
he was born April % precisely 50 years
before his death. Very little is accu-
rately known about his youth, or indeed
concerning the man at any period of his
life. A few detached and fragmentary
facts, mentions of him by his contempor
aries, a faded portrait and an execrable
monumental bust, are all that we have
to bring before US the personality of this
man.

and swimming for dear life. His huge
misshaped head vas thrust out along

forward, while large ripples rolled
from before his chest, as he Glove his

shot for a rifle, and doubly so for a

single plunge In the water, the huge
unshaped head went down, and all was
quiet. Away down stream he flOated,

above the water. Running down shore
toward the boat l found the half-breeds

moments tOwed ii in TO shore. He was
an immense fellow, too heavy to lift al
together out of the water. So we cut
him up as he lay, stranded like a whale.

The Alpine Horn.

The Alpine correspondent of the Gin
cinnati Gazette writes: Flooding up a
rocky gorge, we heard the most en-
chanting strains of music waited back
and forth, and reverberating against
the ragged, rocky points until it seemed
that in every crevice there must be al
orchestra. At the top we found a
%mountaineer with his Alpine horn, the
first really genuine horn we had seen,
and its owner played it magnifcently.
We seated ourselves around the scattered
bouiders and listened to music which |
cannot describe, and of which one can
have no conception, unless he has heard
IN Alpine horn well played in a noun
tain defle. Unfortunately for our
future pleasure we happened upon the
best performer frst-One who played
different pleces-those we met after
wards gave us only single notes. The
Alpine horn Is, or rather this one was,
and suppose 1t is a counterpart of all
others, a wooden tube eight feet in
length, and curving toward the mouth,
that Is bound in brass. The tube from
the smaller end down to the large
curved mouth, is wrapped tightly with
long, narrow strips of bark. You can
scarce believe your eyes that so uncouth
a looking instrument can produce such
musical tones, but In the hands of a
skillful performer 1t is worth a trip
across the ocean to heal. The young
folks exerted their lungs upon 1t, one
after the other, but with a result that
must have made the very lizards creep
into their holes. There, at last we
found something that deserved to be
well paid and after renumerating the
a well, thanking him for the length
OF the concert, we were surprised to
learn he wal the cousin OF our guide,
and for that reason had treated us to an
extra programme"

has been found necessary 10 protect the
submerged portions Of war vessels not
only as far AS possible against the tor
pedo and the blow Of a ram, but against
the results Of plunging fire, more es.
pecially as, ever In armOr clad frlgates

beeh suggested, but In no case have the
leak stopping devices been attended
with complete success. Compressed

that with neither has the swelling or

thickness the pressure OF the water out

Jectlle which had forced It's way through

mltted to a practical test on board the
Skylark. The head Of Az Iron tube will
be closed with rubber eight inches In
thickness, and so made perfectly water
tight. The sealed end will be sunk In
the water until the rubber occupies a
position analogous to that which II
would occupy If attached to the hull Of
the ship below the load-llne. The bow
gun Of the Skylark will then be de-
pressed until the rubber can be sighted
down the tube, and a G4-pounder shot
will be fired through It. Should the
water fail to enter TIE tube, the rubber
Will be known TO have performed its
work by closing up the shot. hole. The
conditions, however, are only approx
mate, as the iron skin Of a ship would,
on penetration, be PROBABLY so Jagged as
to keepthe aperture open Tor the inward
