The Luck I'm Maud s.,s shoes.

The old notion that there is luck in
horses shoe finds support in one case at least
When Maud $. did her first really fast mile
at Cleveland in 2.10l Captain Stone, of
Cincinnati, who owned her, pulled off her
shoes and stored them in his desk and sold
the mare to Vanderbilt for q snug price,
He has been making money ever since md
capturing the best things of life. The cap
tain kept only one of the shoes. He gave
one to Mrs. Swain and she gave it TO her
larger brother. He hadn't had it week
before he was married to one of the most
charming Indies in New York. Ho has been
prospecting like green bay tree ever since
and has had the shoe plated and framed
and wouldn't take a Florida lot for it,
Mr.. Vanderbilt had one of the shoes aud
used to think that it had happy influence
on his efforts to turn an honest penny. Cor
nelius owns it now and has it fastened on
the front of his writing table. The fourth
shoe is in possession of William Bair, Maud
S.'a driver. Bair thinks that if he had mol
had the shoe stuffed in the ballast of his
sulky cushion he never would have been

A GREAT GUN FACTORY.
Krupp,s Enormous establishment.


In these days, when Congress will soon
be called upon TO decide whether to estab-
lish Government gun foundries or to con-
tract with private enterprise for the exclu-
sive production of heavy ordnance, or to
unite, in some form, public with private
resources, special interest attaches to Mr..
Moncure D. Conveys article in Haaper's
Magazine
This article, entitled /" An Iron City Be-
side the Ruhr," is a description of Krupp's
famous factories at Essen. Here we have
works occupying 500 acres, half Of them
under cover, and employing IL All persons.
Taking together the laborers in the branch
works at Neuweld and Sayn, in the many
German mines owned by Krupp, and in the
Spanish mines at Bilbao, from which the
finest ores he uses ere brought, we have an
aggregate of 10, sos employees, while their
families would increase the number to g.
SSl persons supported by Krupp's works.
Krupp also own four sea steamers, and con-
nected with his works are forty-two miles
of railway, with their rolling stock, and
forty miles OF telegraph wires, with thirty
five stations. He also runs hotel, and
great central supply store for the so-called
workmen's colonies, which, as is we'll
known, he has built in the neighborhood.
Mr.. Conway corrects an erroneous i'm
preston derived by many people:
Two-thirds of the work here are devoted
to things belonging to the arts of peace--all
the parts of steam-engines, locomotives,
iron axles, bridges, rails, wheels, tires,
switches springs, shafts for steamers, mint
dies, rudders, and parts of all varieties of
iron machinery, are prepared here for man.
ufacturers. That is, they are not combined
here all the iron parts of a locomotive
may be obtained here, but not locomotive,
although nearly oil of the locomotives and
engines used in the works are made in
them. Both Brahma and silva are in the
employ of Mr.. Krupp, but the creative
power preponderates.
But of course it is the ordnance that has
made Krupp's name famous the world over
Mr.. Conway says that for no amount of
money can the French buy Knapp guns,
lest they should be used for killing Ger
mans; whereas Englishmen, wherever kill
ed in war, are generally killed with English
guns This article also states that Krupp
" has lately declined an order from America
to supply steel blocks for cannon, for the
reason tlat he cannot feel sure that added
metal or inferior work may not involve his
metal in bad resultG.n But it is quite Ger.
tain that he has all the work he wants to
do; aud, indeed, we may remark here that
one of the reasons why our own Gun Foun-
dry Board declined to recommend the
Krupp or private enterprise system of sup
plying hoavy guna complete was the danger
that Government work, in emergencies,
might be hindered bv important private
business interests ana contracts.

WOMEN AS PRINTERS.
How They Have Succee led iu the Conn
posing Room.


Women are quite as good printers az
men" remarked one of the female compost
tors in the Government Printing Office al
Washington to reporter who WINS talking
to her on this subject. " I don't say they
are better, but they average as we'll A
great many have the idea that as type set
ting requires certain dizziness for manipu-
lation, women, having more facile hands,
become better compositors. / have seen
men and women at the case, and while the
best female type settlers might rank with
the best male, yet there would be all grades
of both. Some women can never learn to
be proficient ct the case any more than
some men can"
Are there many female compositors !"
asked the reporter.
Not great number" was the reply
but think they are increasing each year.
At one time we had union in New York
city composed exclusively of females, but
that is no longer in existence. The women
printers here belong TO the Typographical
Union, as every printer is compelled to dc
that works in the Government Printing OF
fee. Most women learn their trade in q
country Office; that is the way did. After
working for time in that Office came to
this city, and that is the extent of my ak
perience with composing rooms"
"What effect bias the presence of women
in q composing room? ~ asked the reporter,
as he called to mind the average composing
room.
"a very good effect, I should judge
was the response. 1t makes the men
more steady, and they pay more attention
to their work and talk less. / know that
the editor Of a country newspaper once told
me that he always made II q rule to have two
or three girls at work in his Office in order
to keep down the rowdy element and make
his force more respectable. The girls are
Just as efficient, too, except when it comes
to the heavy part Of the work, such as lift
ing type from the stone, etc. The only
reason that women do not become more OF
an influence among printers is because just
as they become capable and are developing
into first-class printers, they either marry
the editor or one of the printers, and retire
from the case"
Are women printers increasing in mum
Der ?" questioned the reporter.
81 have no statistics on the subject, was
tho reply, +" but from what I am allie to
learn should say that they were sE .htly.
The increase is not great, however For
instance, when came into this Office. ,eyen
DR. eight years ago, there were only three
female printers; now the number has in
crensed to eleven. Not much of an increase
for such long period, you may think, but
such is the case"
Ills there opposition among the other
printers to women compositors 2" asked the
reporter.
"Of course we have to meet with some
opposition" was the reply, but it is not
very great. suppose that women have
no more difficulty in getting position in
the Government Printing Office than the
men, but that doss not mean tho difficulty
is slight by any means"

wIscoNsiN's WEALTHY sEsAToR.
Early Life of Phiietus Sawyer--How Hi
Vast Feriune Was Made.


Philetus Sawyer is one of the shrewdest
politicians in Congress and has had just
the training TO make him hard fighter in
political campaign Though born on the
Vermont side of Lake Champlain the most
of his early years were spent at Grown
Point, in New York, then the centre of the
lumber trade Of the Lake region. He re-
ceiyed there an ordinary common school
education, but stopped school-going early
in life to earn the means disappearing him.
self He regarded il ms piece of great
good fortune when he was engaged by
Messrs. Penfield a. Hammond, lumber mer
chants to drive one of their teams for $ls
q month Even on this salary he managed
to lay by several hundred dollars in the
course of ten or twelve years and in 1s47
he took what he had and started for the
West.
About that time the government adver-
tised sale Of extensive timber lands in
Wisconsin Territory. Young Sawyer profit
ing by his experience with the lumbermen
Of New York, sent surveyors over the whole
track, who picked out the most desirable
lots and made memoranda of them. He
then offered to give the benefit OF his in.
formation to some New York land specula.
tors in return for share in the profits and
his offer was at once accepted Meanwhile
spectators from Boston arrived on the
ground and discovered what had been done
Knowing that his hackers did not have CAPT.
tai enough to get control Of all the best
lands Sawyer proposed to the Boston parties
that they join him and his friends and share
equally with them. But they declared that
they would rather have a bare bone and
have 1t themselves than share with anybody
else" However, it was too late for them
to have the land surveyed, as Sawyer had
done, and the only recourse was strategy.
The sale began at about eleven O'Clock in
the day. Whenever good lot was offered
Sawyer put in his bid, which was immedi.
ately raised by the party from Boston
Much to his chagrin some OF the tracts on
which he had most set his heart passed thus
10 the rival spectators. This happened so
often that lie could not fail to see that he
was being used as very convenient cats
paw. Accordingly, at twelve o'clock he
asked that the sale be adjourned until two
p. NJ, as he had important business to at
tend to and was anxious to be present ut
the auction. This all parties agreed to.
When the sale was reopened at two
o'clock Sawyer had a friend fully instructed
TO bid ia the choice lots while he lod the
enemy astray. During the afternoon,
said Senator Sawyer, in telling the story
the other day, my man got hold Of about
$4,000 acres of first class timber land, while
| had bad lot of about 5000 acres left on
my hands" The profits from that days
purchase formed the basis OF Senator Saw
yer's fortune. now estimated at 81, 00l, 900.
