A BIG DAY IN WELLINGTON.

The Republican Mass Meeting.
If any fears had been entertained
when this meeting was appointed that
an outdoor gathering so late in the sea-
son was quite likely to be spoiled by
cold or wet weather, they were all dis
pelled when Saturday dawned with the
brightness and warmth of a summer
morning. Business men had scarcely
time to get stores, shops and offices I'm
order, or housekeeper's their morning
work out of the way and preparations
for dinner begun, before the streets
were noisy with vehicles, and the
walks crowded with men, women and
children from all the country about,
anxious to be on time and get q good
standing place to view the cavalcade of
delegations as they came In.
Flags were suspended across the
principal streets and were flying from
every balcony and business front In
sympathy with the Republican cause,
while many private houses displayed
the National colors. Banners and mot.
toes wreathed with evergreen and pro-
claiming patriotic sentiments, as terse
and definite as religious command
ments, greeted the eye in every direc-
ton. The Park and band stand were
gay with bunting, and prepared to ac-
commodate as well n possible, the
thousands who assembled there to hear
the orator Of the day. Before noon the
delegations had all arrived, and 1t was

throwing the eye from the socket and
inflicting a fatal wound in the brain.
He was struck with such force rs to

How Ecksteine Hills q Co., Man
ufacture Their White Lead.

Messrs. Ecksteine, Hills & Co., have
adopted the Dutch process, which, after
hundreds of years experience, has proved
the best. It consists In exposing thin
sheets of metallic lead to vspors Of acetic
acid for long period. Into the bottom of
earthen pots or crooks is poured weak vim
egar, made by diluting acetic acid, about .
quart in each pot; sheets Of lead Commonly
cast In round lattice work shapes called
buckles, about the size Of . tea plate) are
placed In the pots, ten of these weighing
about ten pounds, being placed in each pot.
resting on shoulders above, but not In con-
tact with the vinegar. Being thus prepared,
they are placed together in successive layers
In stacks, about eighteen feet square. Each
layer Is covered with boards and then
with spent tan bark, or stable litter, the
heat from which causes the vinegar to fer
ment, and this starts the process of corro-
sion. Each stack usually contains from
twenty to twenty five tons of lead in from
four thousand to five thousand pots. At the
end of about three months the stacks are
opened and the carbonated lead emptied in
to the separating machinery, which sepa-
rates the eorroded lead from that not cor
roded. The carbonate IL then deposited by
elevators In tanks, where It 10 thoroughly
washed to remove any discoloration; It Is
then ground In pastry state under French
burr stones; next pumped into tanks and
allowed to settle. After q few days II is
placed on copper pans heated by steam. and
dried; 1t IL then the drv white lead Of COM
merce. Then 1t is mixed with linseed oil in
proportion Of nine parts by weight Of oil,
to ninety-one parts by weight of white dry
lead, and finished by grinding. By the
Dutch process Of corroding, white lead con-
tafns more oxide of lead, and possesses q
greater covering power or body than when
made by any other process.
