The American Timed Plate Association

The American Timed Plate Association
has published statement which shows
that if all the tinplate consumed in this
country were manufactured here it would
pay $12, 100000 for labor in the tinplate
works alone, and would furnish a liveli
hood, directly or Indirectly, to 300, 900
people. 1t would pay the interest on
$3O,OOO,O0O of capital to be invested in the
construction of mills and machinery. 1t
would stimulate railroad transportation and
other interests, as in the manufacture of
the tinplate there would be used $4,000
800, 900 tons coal, 300, 900 tons of pig iron,
100000 bushels of charcoal, 100000
pounds of lead, $4,000, 900 pounds of tin,
1O,OOO,OOO pounds of tallow, 100000 feet
of lumber, and 30,000,000 pounds of sui
phuric acid. Is not the tinplate industry
worth fostering?

A genuine surprise was caused in the
iron market on Friday by the fact that the
Yacazawanna Iron and Steel Company had
underbid several English manufacturers
and secured contract to deliver to the
Canadian Pacific 10000 tons of steel rails
at $3.50. Democratic papers thereupon
say this settles the whole iron question
and proves there is no need for protection.
Unhappily it does not prove anything of
the kind. 1t proves only that, with pro-
lection, the American consumer gets steel
rails at as low a rate as they can be fur
nished even now with free trade to the
Canadian consumer. But it has been the
experience of fifty years that the removal
of the defensive duties has always enabled
the foreign producer to break down our
industries, and then raise the price to suit
his own pleasure. York Tribune, Oc-
tober 9th.

Horrible Murder.

This Tuesday, evening our city was
thrown into frenzied excitement by the
commission of one of the most horrible
murders that has ever occurred i'll this or
sany other community.
Miss Lizzie Wilson, a young lady aged
i between Is and 16 years, whose parents re-
side, on brick row in East Roanoke, was on
her way home from the confectionery
house, Of Mr.. III. Toole, ON Salem Avenue,
about q quarter past seven o'clock, where
she had been formerly employed.
Her two small sisters accompanied her.
and when within about $50 or 200 yards of
her home she was seized by a ruffian fiend
and carried across the street and in rear OF
the buildings son-the opposite side of the
street from'which she was walking, a dis
lance of about 100 yards.
When she was seized she screamed,
which was heard by her brother and all
other young man who were crossing the
field. They Immediately started i'll the di-
rection of the voice, when they saw q man
running across the hill. They gave chase
but were unable to overtake him, owing to
the darkness. After the man disappeared
they began searching for some clue to the
one who gave the alarm, and the brother
of the young lady was Mortified to discover
his sister lying outstretched on the ground
with her throat cut from ear to ear.
The wound was most CHASTITY one cut
ting through everything to the bone. 1t
would be difficult to imagine more ter
rible sight. A young, innocent girl, foully
and most brutally murdered. her fair face
upturned with look of agony still distort-
ing her eyes and the wide cash from which
her life-blood had gushed, forming spec
tacle too pitiful for even the most hardened
to gaze on unmoved. Nothing that has
ever TRANSFERRED in this whole section has
created such intense excitement. Loud
and deep were the curses against the mis-
creant who performed the dastardly deed,
and should he be caught the State will be
saved the expense of a prosecution.
The Mayor of Roanoke has offered a re.
ward of $3.50 for information that will lead
to the conviction of the party or parties
who committed the murder.-Roa,eOkt

PeonIe Who Travel.

People who are not used to travelling
sometimes feel hurt at the gruff an
swers they receive from station agents.
We will give few points, which, if
observed, will save many a cross word
and secret oath. When you want to
60 anywhere and want to know when
your train leaves consult the time table
which is always posted conspicuously
near the ticket window. Don't ask the
agent if that is the latest tablet al
ways is. After you find the time ON
the card look ut the clock and see how
long you have 10 wait Don't ask tho
agent if that clock is right--it always is.
Don't ask him if that is railroad time
they are not allowed to have any other.
Always state when asking for ticket,
whether you want it for one way or for
the round trip. If you expect to re-
turn soon it will save you money to
buy a round trip ticket. If you have
seen bills advertising excursion rates
on certain days, don't ask the agent to
sell you an excursion ticket on day
previous. III you want to learn when
there will be an excursion and how
long it will continue, consult the bills
hanging iii dlOuud 1ou. OUu dSh tuo
agent about it. The bills are put there
for information. Ii an unusually low
rate is advertised don't ask the agent
if that is really true-if the company
advertise low rate they will carry you
if they lose money. II there are half
= dozen trains in the depot don't ask
the agent which train you shall take.
but step up to any uniformed official
outside, tell him where you wish to go
and he will show you your train. If
you want to make connection with
some other road go to the ticket win
dow and before asking for your ticket
state where you want to go, and if you
are in q hurry ask the agent for the
route by which you can make the clos
est connection, and he will cheerfully
answer You.
In conclusion, if you want to see
smiling ticket agents don't ask them
for any information you can get from
other sources, and when you do ask
questions state briefly and plainly
what you want. and you will find tray-
cling is more pleasant than you had
supposed. Richmond Sunday Register.

The Ancient Cities of America.

Tucson, A. I. is an ancient CITY.
Antedating jamestown and Plymouth,
and visited first in 1910 by Coron-
ado, it saw its first European settlers
in 1860, and its first missionaries in
1881. But long before the year 1910
there was an Indian village established
on the site of the present city, so that
the Tusconians can. if they please,
claim an age for their town rs great as
the Santa Feans claim for theirs. For
all practical purposes, however, 1910
is date sufficiently far away, and if
Tucson only continues to improve with
age, or becomes as good as she is old,
much may be expected of the place.
Built by the Spaniards, who brought
so much religion 10 the people whom
they conquered, San Xavier (San
Havier) is to-day one of the largest, as
it is one of the best preserved. of all
the churches built during the years of
the Spanish occupancy of the South
west. Riding from Tucson for nine
miles up the valley of the Santa Cruz
river, one has glimpses from time TO
time through the groves of live oak and
rnuskete trees of the white walls and
graceful towers of the church rs they
stand clearly outlined against the sky
beyond. 1t was down this valley Of
the Santa Cruz, which is to-day attract
ing so much attention as an agr.cu-
tural section, that Coronado marched
on his way from Old Mexico in 1910;
and before the advent of this intrepid
explorer and ever since the valley has
been inhabited by the Papago Indians.
whose adobe houses with matched
roofs are scattered along the road lead
ing to the mission.

A Moral with a Story.

A good many years ago Bobby was
visiting his grandmother in the country,
and one evening they had hot biscuits
for tea.
"Will you have hot biscuit. Bobby 2"
asked the old lady.
NO. replied Bobby; mamma never
lets me eat hot biscuits, because they
don't agree with me-.
"Ah, well, said the indulgent grand
ma, "your mamma is not here to know
that you eat them, and 1 guess one or
two won't hurt you any"
So little Bobby, unmindful of the
wishes of his mamma, and taking adj
vantage of her absence, ate hot biscuits
until he had to be lifted bodily from
the table.
This was Bobby's first direct dis
obedience of his mamma, but it was a
beginning, and in time he grew to be a
very rude boy, and caused his parents q
great deal of worry. Finally, when he
got to be man, he became a great
railroad president, and nobody had any
respect for him.
The moral of this exciting story is
that, if children want to be respected
when they grow up to be men and
women they must not eat hot biscuits
when their mammas tell them to eat
cold bread. PHILADELPHIA Call

Waukesha. Ocl. 3l.-A sensation "

Waukesha, Oct. 31.-A sensation was
caused here to-day by the announcement
that Dexter Billiard, proprietor of the
new Arlington hotel, had shot him self,
on his farm, located in Saylesville, six
miles south of Waukesha, in the town of
Genesee. The report was found to be
groundless as far as any suicidal intent
was concerned. MIR. Billiard, as he had
done for the past three mornings, start
ed for his farm where he is building new
residence. About o'clock, after reach
ing the house, rented by Mr. Honeyae-
ger, he picked up the farmers gun and
started out for hunt. This Mr.. Hone
Jaeger says, he had done regularly for
several days past. He left the house
abont 10 A. NJ, and had been gone
about twenty minutes when Mr.. Hone
yaeger. who had subsequently started
for his cornfield, heard report. He
looked in the direction whence came
the sound and saw Mr.. Billiard still
proceeding. In about half an hour af-
ter the first shot, there came another
report, to which no attention was given.
The discovery of the body was made
by Mr.. Honeyaeger and was entirely
accidental. He found Mr.. Billiard lying
on the ground with his head almost
blown off. He Immediately gave the
alarm, and the nearest justice, j. B.
Finney, of Genesee, was summoned.
An inquest was held at Mr.. Honeyae-
yer's farmhouse and verdict of acct
dental shooting rendered.

Edward Everett.

The nomination of Edward Everett
as minister to Great Britain met with
unexpected opposition from some of the
southern senators. When action was
taken upon ii. one of them called
the attention of the senate to
published correspondence. which he
held in his hands. between Mr. Everett
and certain aDolitionists who had ad-
dressed to him series of questions
touching the subject of slavery. The
language of MIR. Everetts letter, which
was written when he was candidate
for governor of Massachusetts. was
said to be very strong and such as none
of the southern senators considered to
be justifiable. The senator, having
read the correspondence, made it tho
text OF a strong dcnunciatory speech
against Mr.. Everett, earnestly and ve-
hemently appealing to the representa-
tives of the southern interests and luz
situations in that body to record thar
sentence of condemnation against such
dangerous sentiments by rejecting the
nomination of man by whom they
were put forth.
The correspondence, together with
tho speech of the senator who brought
it forward, arrested the attention of the
whole senate. and awakened new and
strong apprehensions among the friends
of Mr.. Everett as TO the fate of his NOM
ination. Soon after the senator in
question had arisen from his seat and
commenced speaking. Mr.. Clay was
observed to pause in his walk to and
fro, and, rs the senator from the south
proceeded in his speech, he (Mr. CD
became more and more interested, I'M
til. at length, he returned to his accus-
toned seat, and was standing by it
when the gentleman who occupied the
floor finished his speech with the fol-
lowing emphatic language: IF, under
the senate shall confirm the nomination
OF Mr.. Everett, | consider the union
virtually dissolved.
''And / say, sir" said Mr.. Clay. in
stantly taking up the words of the hon
orable senator. 'that if this senate Sit
ting on the nomination of Mr.. Everett.
or any other man rs minister to for
eign court. shall take upon itself to re-
ject that nomination on the ground that
the parson nominated has expressed 10
his neighbors and fellow citizens of the
state to which he belongs sentiments
not in accordance with our own, yet in
no way impeaching his character or af-
fecting his qualifications for the post TO
which he was nominated, then, SIR"
said MIR. Clay, elevating himself to his
full height, and raising his voice 10
that clarion-like tone of impassioned
eloquence for which he, above all liy-
ing men, was so justly distinguished,
''then, sir, | tell tho honorable gentle
men in this senate that we have no
longer union to dissolvei' Proceed
ing from this point, Mr.. Clay poured
forth for the space of about ten min
utes the most eloquent speech i ever
heard in my life. And that speech set
tied the question of Mr. Everett's NOM
nation. Ben: Perley P0ore.

BUT STILL IN THE RING

Sufficient returns have not yet been
received to indicate with certainty
whether Blaine or Cleveland has been
elected. The indications are this Thurs
day morning that New York has gone
Democratic by small majority; but
full returns will have to be waited for
before the vote of that State is definitely
settled.
Illinois, California, Nevada and Ore
gon are this morning regarded as
doubtful, as are also Indiana and Wis
consin. although we have little doubt
but that this state has been carried by
the Republicans. Sufficient returns
have been received to make it certain
that there is gain of two or three Re-
publican congressman in this state.
r.. NJ. La TOILETTE,
Republican. is elected in this district,
and the district is redeemed.
GRANT COUNTY.
Returns have been received from
every town but Waterstown. Blaine's
majority in the county is about $50. Il.
M. La Follette's majority in this county
is over 500; and the whole Republican
county ticket is elected
The Republican candidates for the
Assembly in the 1st and 3rd Districts,
are elected. In this, the 2nd District,
w. j. Mccoy, Democrat, is elected over
c. II. Baxter, Republican.
The Prohibition vote in the county is
less than 500; and the Butler party vote
less than 200.
Republicans have reason to feel graft
fled over the election of the entire Re-
publican county ticket, and the redemp-
ton of this Congressional district; but
in view of the discouraging reports
from New York and other states. at
this writing regarded doubtful, they are
not inclined to be very jubilant; and
our rooster was this morning turned
out to grass. He is becoming old
aud somewhat foohln, Anyway and. as
matter of taste, we have Just now
decided preference for pullets.
The following telegram, which is the
latest news received, explains itself:
NEW YORK, Nov. D. The Sun has
received returns from every county in
the state. and revised returns are COM
plete from nearly all. Cleveland's
election is conceded. His plurality in
New York State is about 5000. VIM.
X. Grace was elected mayor of New
York City.

VERY LATEST.

Wisconsin gives a Republican ma
jority of 5000, and gains four Republi.
can congressman.
Illinois is Republican by about Is, 200
majority. Iowa by about $4,000.
Indiana is still in doubt, with the
chances that it has gone Republican by
small majority. California, Oregon,
Nevada and Colorado are Republican.
The South is still solid, and every
Southern state has gone Democratic.
They have also carried New Jersey and
Connecticut by small majorities. The
vote in New York is very close and it
will require the official count to deter
mine the result. Everything depends
upon the vote of that state. If it goes
for Blaine he. will be elected. If for
Cleveland, the Democratic party will
be restored to the power which they sur
rendered in 1860.
