Several years ago quite furorc was
created by the announcement that .
south side glass manufacturer had dis
covered . method Of spinning glass 80
fine and 30 pliable that it could I've
woven into dresses, outside wraps and
garments Of all kinds. The statement
was received with incrcdulity, and q
leading foreign scientific Journal, which
published the statement Of tho dis
coysry, felt called upon to apologize to
it, readers for having endeayOred TO
dupC them. Several months later the
manufacturers of the article caused the
journal to acknowledge the receipt OF a
piece Of the wonderful cloth. The
eagcrness to re tho material was un-
bounded for months and letters by the
hundreds, from every cline, we're re-
ceived, inquiring the cost Of the novelty.
The reply, $50 per yard, never brought
back any answer and put an effectual
Quietus on the anxious correspondent.
Fanny Davenport visited the factory
in person and viewed the material.
Emma Abbott placed shawl made out
Of tho cloth on her shoulders ct the
company's Office, and talked of purchas-
ing it when she pres, ,nted her new
opera, but the opera has never yet been
presented or else she has changed her
mind. r. I. Barnum brought the late
Tom Thumb and his wife to the works
and inquired the cost Of preparing them
with an outfit Of glass. The veteran
showman, however, was not disposed to
effect . purchase. For months persons
visited the factory by the hundreds. A
sample Of the glass was sent to popu-
lar dry-goods store in New York for in
spection, but was returned with the
statement that the rush Of people to see
the cloth retarded business. Genius
had triumphed, but only partially. 1t
was found impossible to manufacture
the article for less than $50 per yard
and soon tho furore over it subsidized.
Probably in the dim future, il glass ma.
terials become cheaper, glass cloth will
form tho basis Of many handsome cos

A Romance Ends in a Tragedy.

New YORK, April pa romance beginning
with blighted affection ended yesterday morning
in tragedy. A wife for years severed from
her life by poison. The gossip of the neighbors
and the probabilities OF the case make the act
appear to be the result of fear of her husbands
return. The unfortunate woman was Maggie
Cameron. She was abut thirty years of age. of
prepossessing appearance and quiet demeanor
Her father, Joseph Wells, is well known resi-
dent of Pittsburg. Pa. and she had wealthy
relatives in Philadelphia. While on visit to
this city, seyen years ago. she made the acquaint
ance of her husband. She was married some
time afterward. but quickly regretted the step.
The troubles of her welded life began almost at
once, and ended only by her abandonment of her
home and husband six months after she was
united to him. Once away from her husband
the young wife endeavored to earn her livelihood
bv hard labor but it is said she was followed
and prosecuted SO that she had to feign to leave
the city altogether.

MILWAUKEE AGAIN DEFEATED.
A Hard Batting Game Won by Indianapolis
"A Disgraceful Incident

The fourth and last game of the first series of
championship games between the Indianapolis
and Milwaukee clubs was played On the Seventh
street grounds yesterday afternoon, the result
being an easy victory for the home club. Aaided
by passed balls by Mcclure, wild pitching by
Miller, and base-hits by Stockwell and
Schoeneck, the Milwaukees took lead
of three runs in the first and third
innings, but from that out Miller
and Mcclure settled down to business. and did
most effective work. The home club made two
runs In the third, four in the sixth, three more
in the seventh, and threw in couple for good
measure in the eighth 1t was a hard-batting
game, so far as the local nine was concerned,
Donnelly, Thompson, Crane, Moriarity and
Miller leading in this respect. The feld-play of
Thompson and Donnelly was brilliant, and the
pitching Of Miller was excellent after the third
inning, twelve men having gone
out on three strikes. Arundel, who caught for
the visitors, gave an exhibition of
temper and brutality in the sixth inning that
would have dsgraced prize-fghter, for which
he was justly fined $25 by Umpire Hoover. The
score had been tied by Thompson's run, and
Moriarity and Crane scored on fielding error.
AS Crane crossed the plate the ball was felded
into Arundel's hands at the home-plate. and the
latter, turning with savage oath, planted a
blow with his fist from behind on Cranes back
that nearly knocked him down. Before Crane
could turn he attempted to strike him again, but
Miller who was at the bat brandished the club
over the bully's head in way that meant bust
ness and he dropped his arm. By this time
Umpire Hoover had interposed, and fined the
obstreperous Arundel $25. Either Crane or Mil
Ter would have greatly pleased the spectators if
they had broken his head with bat Following
is the score:

W. CT. o. CONVENTION.
The Seventh Districs Organization Holds Its
Annual Meeting and Reviews the Work.

The Woman's Christian Temperance Union OF
the Seventh congressional district net yesterday
in convention at the Pennsylvania head
quarters. The different committees who were
assigned to perform local work all made reports,
showing substantial growth of the cause. Miss
Myra Goodwin discussed with interest to the
audience, the subject, Juvenile Work." and
showed that temperance workers must begin
with the young if they would succeed in
establishing their doctrines. A spirited
discussion arose over the question of Sabbath
dissertation, Rev. S. L. Bright, Mrs. Wallace,
Miss Kelley and Miss Reed all taking part in the
debate All. the speakers were especially
hostile to Sunday base ball. The committees on
suppression of impure literature influencing
influential bodies, Young peoples work, press
and franchise, scientific instruction, jail and
prison work. and gospel temperance work, all
made favorable reports. In the evening several
addresses were made to the public. Rev. j. H.
Doddridge said that the back-set which temper
ance received last campaign was only temporary
one. No real movement of reform ever goes
backward. For the prevalence and continuance
of the liquor traffic the people themselves are to
blame, for they influence the legislation which
legalizes the sale of intoxicants He expressed
a doubt as to whether moral suason could eff
people must fight liquor with the ballot, which
is the most powerful weapon they can WELD.
If the people can only stir up great temperance
commotion, the politicians of the country will
trim their sails and catch the breeze. and then
temperance legislation will be easy enough.
Temperance is firmly rooted in American pol
itics. 1t is the only reform that will unite
the discordant sections Of our country.
Rev. S. L. Bright thought that Indiana had
plenty of temperance laws The greatest reform
in modern politics is temperance reform. The
duty of the people of Indianapolis is to uphold
the two police commissioners who favor the en-
forcement of the temperance laws The tenn
perance workers must begin with the children,
and educate them to the right way of living
The speaker thought that the temperance organ
izations should visit the different conferences in
the State, and influence the preachers to agree
upon three annual temperance conventions.
George W. Cobb thought that temperance was
mainly mission work. All temperance work
must proceed from Christ. There is no hope for
the cause in politics. The speaker thought that
the hope of all temperance people lay in the
efficacy of Christianity

why Mr.. Foster Goes Back to Spain

New YORK, April 22.-John w. Foster, the
United States minister to SPAIN came over from
Washington last night. and left this morning for
Madrid He spent last evening at the residence
of S. l.. M. Barlow, prominent Democrat. in
consultation with number of gentlemen inter
ested in the Spanish treaty.
A curious statement is made here to night by
a gentleman close to President Cleveland in rela-
ton to Mr.. Fosters return to Spain. 1t has
been given out freely from Washington that he
would go back to his post of duty by the special
request of Mr. Cleveland, bearing special in
structions with reference to formulating a new
treaty. It is now said that Mr.. Cleveland has
made no such request, and that Mr.. Foster so
far as the President is concerned, goes back TO
Spain because his leave OF absence, and not his
commission, has expired Whatever instruc-
tons Mr.. Foster bears with him, have come
from Mr.. Bayard wholly and solely.
