Trying to Keep Trade Secrets. ,,

a few years ago the writer was visiting
a wood working shop, wherein was exc,

country. The proprietor, in answer to a
request to illustrate and publish some of
the methods used by him in manufactur-
ing, said: ''Nol Don't give away a singIe

Of performing the most varied operations

It is wonderfully adapted to the delicate

and shapes immense masses of steel almost
as skillfully as the carpenter carves small

Bulgarian Fabrics.

It Is quite a common thing, says an ex.
change, to find in Bulgarian novels, grfmy
with smoke and infested with vernin,
hangings and dresses that could be sold
for guinea the square foot in Regent
street, and the color Of this stuff Is 90
fine, the material 80 pure and the work so
good and firm that Q little cleaning will
make q 50-year-old embroidery look like
new Alas, some apostles Of civilization
in the form Of German bagmen have lat
terly taught the Bulgarian women that
they can mix q like cotton with their
woods and use cheaper materials for their
dyee; SO that even the comfortable white
and blue chalaks, which were warm il
winter and light in summer, which kept
out rain and rheumatism, which could be
darned and redarned and worn down to
q thread, are now yielding to textures
which for trade purposes bear the same

True.
PHILADELPHIA, May THE Times pub
fishes to-day the following triple-leaded
special from New York, which it will en-
dorse as coming direct from the most
authentic sources:
New York, May Al have entirely re-
liable Information that the friends of
BlaiHs lave within the last three days
received direct from him his assent to
an aggressive movement for his renom-
ination for president, and the assurance
that, if nominated in the face of his
Florence letter of declination, he would
not feel at liberty to decline. A general
and systematic effort has been made by
Blaine's closest friends, such as Chair
man Jones, William Walter Phelps,
Whitelaw Reid, Charles Emory Smith,
and 9th ers, for two months past to get
Blaine into the attitude of a passive can
didate. Every possible pressure has
been put upon Blaine to get
from him the sdirect assurance
that he will not decline if
nominated, and that assurance mas been
received in this city from Blaine within
the last three days. In very few days
more it will cease to be secret that
Blaine is in the hands Of his friends, as
the Blaine leaders will at once come to
the front and make an aggressive cam
paign for his denomination. The unex-
pected expression in Massachusetts, and
Vermont for Blaine were not accidental,
nor are they unexpected to Mr..
Blaine's friends. When all of the
anti-Blaine men were posing on their
arms because they regarded Blaine as
out of the fight, the friends Of Blaine
were most energetic in their work in
the two anti-Rlaine New England
states, and they got possession of Yer
mont and Massachusetts while the others
were sleeping in fancied security. It
was the expression Of three hitherto
anti-Blaine New England states that
made Blaine cast aside his doubt and
assent to the opportunities of his friends
for his denomination. 1t is now posi-
tive fact that Blaine is in the field; that
his friends have his assent to a move
ment in his favor, and that he will be
nominated at Chicago if hard work and
plenty of enthusiasm can accomplish it.
