AN "agitator" named Gorsuch, who
runs n socialist sheet in Chicago,
made speech in Cleveland Monday.
He claimed that nobody had a right
to accumulate property and demand

Gated murder, arson and robbery for
the attainment Of the purpose, aud de.
clared in loud voice that no officer
of the law should ever arrest him-he
would die first. Just then a quiet, un-
assuming policeman tapped him on
the shoulder and remarked: "You are
my prisoner" Did Gorsuch fight?
Did he kill the officer, or die for his
principle? BY no means. He simply
accompanied the officer 10 the lookup
and was placed where he belonged.
He did not even utter protest, aud il

RTEL's sympathizers in Canada are

Canadian population. At a meeting
called in Quebec TO discuss his trial
over 5000 people were present, and all

The Way IneandeScent Lamps Are Made
New York SIM

The Way Incandescent Lamps Are Made.
New York SUM-
"The way that incandescent lamps
are made is yery simple" an electrician
said yesterday. There are different
ways of preparing the filaments, which
are shaped, carboniled and treated at a
white heat. They are then placed in
platinum holders, which are embedded
in glass, and next 60 into the hands of
the glass blower. The glass bulbs have
round openings at the bottoms and lit
tie tubes at the tops. The little tubes
all connect with big tube. This is
called fork, and resembles a cluster of
blackberries. Two or three dozen bulbs
may be on a fork. The glass blower
places filaments in each bulb at the bot
tom, and Yields the glass about the
platinum holders to the edges of the
opening. Then the air is drawn from
the bulbs.
The open end of the big tube is at
tached to an air pump, which has forty
pounds OF mercury at its top. AS the
mercury drops it carries all the air with
it, and vacuums are created in the
bulbs. The operator then takes a Bun
sen burner, and directs its flame against
the little tubes close to the bulbs This
closes the bulbs, which are then re-
moved from the big tube. The glass
blower finishes them off. The ex-
hausting of the air from so many lamps
at once makes the cost small. The ulbs
can be made by any ordinary glass.
blower, but it requires man of intelli.
gence to make the flament."

The Fighting instinct I'm Man.


There Is not the slightest certainty
that any invention, however terrible,
would put an end to war, while there Is
almost certainty that, il such an in
vention were perfected, it would griey-
ously increase the miseries Of mankind.
Taken in the lump, men will face any
means of destruction whatsoever, II
also they possess it themselves. Give
two men pistols, and they will fight
across a handkerchief. They are not
afraid of death, but only of death with
out chance of victory. King Theo'
dore, of Abyssinia, asked his Courtiers,
when the rocket-sticks fell at his feet,
if he coald be reasonably expected to
face things like those, and ultimately,
in pure despair of defeating science
with unseientific weapons, killed him
self, but il he also had possessed rockets
he would have fought on.
No men, not even Prussian soldiers
or English sailors, will face shells with
out shells to throw back, but when they
have shells they face the enemys shells
as bravely as they did the old 70 md
shot. The methods of war are changed
by science, but war is not eXtinguished.
Suppose il true that able chemists and
mechanicans could invent method of
throwing an asphyxiating vapor on a
sleeping army, what would be the re-
suit rirst, the adoption of some pro-
tective covering, such as iron clad huts
for sleeping in, next, the adoption of a
method Of encamping which spread tho
army over a surface too great or too
uneven to be reached; and next, the
use of similar mechanicians and
chemists as the assailing force.
Huxley would march with his fisher.
men to choke Tyndall with his Alpine
climbers. War would then consist
mainly of efforts to obtain advantageous
positions, from which showers of death
would be thrown, but war would not
cease. Forlorn hopes would be organ
lied among chemists or mechanicians as
easily as among soldiers, enormous re-
wards would be paid to the new war
riors, and nations would fight each other
as briskly as ever,

Restraint On Publishing the Scriptures
Baltimore Americana

1t seems curious that, though the
press in England is declared to be free,
the publication of the Scriptures is un.
der an ancient restraint Only the
presses of the great universities can
print copies of the Bible: and they some
times seize on all the advantages secured
them by their valuable monopoly.
In speaking Of the revised version OF
the Old Testament, The London Times
says: 1T is announced that the old
Testament is not TO be published
separately, except in somewhat costly
form. and that in the cheaper editions
it will be bound up and sold as one
volume with the New Those who have
the New already by itself must buy IL
over again with the Old. Though buyers
OF the revised New Testament have no
legal redress, they undoubtedly are
threatened with breach Of moral faith,
They were entitled, when offered half
the revised version separately, to con.
clude that they would be given an op.
poItunity of obtaining the other half
similarly by itself.

MOVING UNDER DIFFICULTIES.
An Evil Day that Tries Mems Souls and
Women's Dispositions.

Women's Dispositions.
A melting sky and muddy streets were
the features of knowing day" Heads
OF families, as rule, hate the first of
October and curse it as Job did the day
on which he was born. Moving yester-
day was no exception. Drays and fur
niture wagons loaded with household ef-
fects went splashing through mud and
rain from morn to noon, and from noon to
damp and dewy eve.
The experiences of the day have been
so often described that it is almost use
less to repeat the tale. 1t has been said
that three moves are as good as a fire.
Anyhow they give some idea OF the in
convenience and disc0mfOrts OF change.
Many people submit to an increase in
rent rather than to undertake it.
During the past year many of the class
who have been renters have established
themselves in their own houses in the
new parts of the city. The number of
house owners of moderate means is con-
stantly increasing, and although there
VIII always be mowers" their number is
decreasing every year.
Among the funny things seen by a re-
porter in walking through the city yes
terday was a woman trying to show a
driver now 10 cover wagon load OF
goods from the rain with a piece of 4X5
oil cloth. A young married couple, who
seemed to be moving for the first time
were packing their china in the bottom of
a dray and putting the chairs in on top.
The busy young wife had forgotten the
baby, and the infant and the cradle We're
loaded together.
One family had piece OF canvas thrown
over the stove, while the rain was soaking
the beds and the sewing machine.
One thing not seen anywhere was a
family moving into a house without the
neighbOrs all staring at the new Corners
and taking an inventory of their furni-
ture.
number of leading business houses
have changed their location. Altmayer
Il Co. are already established in their new
building, corner Bull and BrOughton
streets. Joseph Rosenheim & Co. viii oc-
cupy the store 1876 BrOughtOn street, made
vacant by Altmayer. Messrs. Ludden &

in the same building with AltmaYer. Mr..
A. f. Flint, formerly on Congress street,
also occupies q part of their store. The
store 142 and IA Congress street, vacated
by Ludden ~ Bates has been divided into

RAINS AND THE RICE.
A Good Prospect in the Carolina Fields
in Spite of Wind and Water.

Owing to the recent heavy rains the rice
crop, large proportion Of which should
have been harvested by this time, will be
materially retarded in its progress TO
market. The rain has not been confined
to the low country alone, but has been
general throughout the lowlands OF the
Southern States, and in some cases, and
especially in South Georgia, the floods
have been of so disastrous character
that it is estimated that there will be a
falling of Of about one-third In the an
nual yield.
In South Carolina, saws the NelcS and
Courier, rains have prevailed for the past
week with more or less injurious results
upon the rice lands, and the merchants
here are awaiting with some interest
such advices from the planters as will en-
able them TO arrive at conclusion as to
what has been the actual damage TO tie
crops. 1t is not anticipated, however,
that the total yield viii be materially
affected, and, in fact,iu the opinion Of some,
based on trustworthy information, the
crop Will be even larger than that Of last
year, taking all the untoward influences
into consideration. On the South Caro-
lima side OF the Savannah river, from the
freshet bank north, the river has risen TO
dangerous height, and from one planta-
ton letter has been received stating
that the crop there was threatened
with total destruction. II is feared,
also, that many plantations in
that neighborhood are similarly situated,
and that the loss will be very considera-
BILE. These plantations are, however, not
in the richest rice sections along the river.
Most Of the fertile lands and extensive
crops are below the freshet bank, and
these are practically secure from inunda-
ton and its consequences. Along the
rivers of the interior such disasters are
not to be expected. II Is stated, however,
that in nearly every growing section
of the State the crop will be retarded to a
very appreciable degree. A very large
percentage of the crop has been cut and
Is lying in the field awaiting such weather
as will be favorable to its prompt hand
ling. just now the grain has been washed
and rewashed by the incessant rains,
but, even taking that into consideration,
there Is nothing to be feared except, per-
haps, slight decrease in the quality OF
the harvest in such places as have been
most exposed to the weather. Threshing
out the grain in its present condition has,
of course, been impossible, and hence the
delay in threshing that part Of the crop
which has tor some time been ready for
that process.
There are in port just now q number OF
vessels awaiting the filling OF orders.
With the return of fair weather, however,
which in the nature of things, If not for
the benefit OF the rice crop alone, must
soon return, there will be neither delay
nor difficulty in saving all that has headed
up in the rice fields.
