Anti-SalOon Republicans.

The Convention of anti-SalOOn Re-
publicans, which assembled in New
York, is an event of more than ordi-
nary political importance. There can
be little doubt that the anti-saloon
movement has taken firm hold on
the Republican party. The fact that
letters commenting the movement
were read from such party leaders as
Senators Evarts, Sherman, Hoar, Ed
munds and HaWley, and Chauncey NJ.
Depew, is an evidence of this. Chair
man Griffin, who called the convention
to order, sketched the strength of the
movement as follows: Seyentv-fve
per cent of the Republicans are op-
posed to saloons and consider it the
paramount question. Fifteen per cent.
OF the Republicans care more for politi-
cal movement These fifteen per cent.
do not care about the liquor question
at all. They are engrossed with their
aims, and are willing to 60 with the
side which promises them immediate
preterment. The anti-salOOn move.
ment was not in opposition to the old
party, but seeks to urge the serious
consideration by all its members of the
paramount question before it-anti-sa-
loon" Strong as the movement un-
doubtedly is, it has not overcome the
hostility of the Prohibitionists, who
still cling to the third party idea with
a persistence that is very exasperating
to the Republican leaders.

Hon. J. L. Palmer, under the date of

prohibition in Arkansas and intend to
have much more. 1t does prohibit
wherever it is given fair chance, and
the benefits which have come 20 indi-
viduals, families and communities
where it has had an opportunity to do
its work and show its real power. are
beyond my powers of calculation.
Women vote freely ana gladly against
the continuance of the saloons by sig
natures to the petitions under the three
mile law which is doing much good in
many ways-4S counties are already
free from the licensed saloon, q are
almost free-(these make up the IS
counties we have) and still the good
work goes on. Arkansas will ere long
be redeemed from the licensed sa-
loon."

ONLY ONE APPLICATION TURNED
DOWN BY THE COURT.
Nearly the entire time of Thursday
was taken up with the liquor license
list. The Rev. L. E. Terry appeared
IN behalf of the remOnstrants against
John l.. Melvin at kits Hammock.
and the Rev. Richard Colt appeared to
protest against the reicensing of the
hotel at KentOn, of which Terrence
Carvin is the proprietor. In his pro-
test Mr.. Colt stated that his 16-vear-
old son had drank liquor at Mr.. Car
wins bar. The boy, who was present
IN court, swOre that he had represented
himself to Carvin as being % years old.
but Chief Justice Comegys remarked
that no one could be deceived as to the
youth of the boy He doesn't look as
old as he really is.
Mr.. Terry, in behalf of the remon-
strants against Melvin, stated that a
number of Dover families had cottages
on the beach at kits Hammock. and
that they had erected and fitted up
these cottages because they could
spend the season there without fear of
being annoyed by drunken men or
rOw0ies. In Melvin's behalf Messrs.
Kenney and Cooper stated that not a
single voter of the three contiguous
school districts nearest the Hammock
had demonstrated against his applica-
ton.
The court held the entire list of ap-
plicatiOns under advisement until the
afternoon.
Upon reassembling at 8 O'Clock the

Clothespins are made in the lumber
regions. They are usually made of
white ash, sometimes of beech, black
and white birch and maple. The wood
is taken to the factory in logs and cut
into lengths of 81 inches bv circular
saws. These lengths are then cut into
blocks, and the blocks again cut into
sticks. The sticks are placed under
another saw and cut into the desired
lengths. Next the turner takes hand
at them and from there they go to the
slotting machine. They are then
placed in trOughs by the operator, the
machine picking them up and slOtting
them. They are then placed in a re-
volving pipe drier, going thence to the
polishing cylinder and thence to the
packer. Each pin passes through eight
hands. A single plant consists of
board saw, gang splitter, gang chunker,
turning lathe, drying-hOuse and pol
isher, and costs from 81 900 to $4,000.
The machines working are very inter
esting. The little blocks of wood 81
inches long are placed on an endless
belt, which feeds the blocks autOmati-
cally into the lathe. As the lathe is

from the spindle and placed on turn
table and carried to a circular saw,
which whittles out the slot in the pin.
1t is then finished and thrown out of
the turn-table by the same appliance
that puts the pins on the table. Fall
ing, they are caught in basket or bar
rel and are then taken to the drying
house for 10 or "a hours, or until dry.
The polishing cylinder or rumbler
holds 20 to 40 bushels. This is run at
low speed, about 80 turns a minute,
and by simple friction and contact they
become polished.

AN ENGLIsHMAN in TROUBLE.

And What He Charged Against the
Woman's Protective Association.
CHICAGO, October 6.-There arrived at
the Palmer house on Tuesday, October 2,
middle-aged gentleman, evidently Eng
lish, accompanied by a decidedly hand
some young lady, 16 or II years of age.
He registered as DR.. Z. Robbins and
daughter, Los Angeles, Cal. They were
assigned to room No. 1854. That evening
Doctor Robbins paid his bill, and, accom-
panied by the girl, left the hotel. Last
night he sought the assistance of the
police to recover his daughter, who, he
claimed, had been spirited away by an
agent of the Womans Protective associa-
ton.
He says that several years ago he parted
from his wife in England and came to this
country, drifting to Montana, Idaho, and
finally to California, where he amassed a
fortune. His wife 10 the meantime bad
secured divorce. Learning of this, Doctor
Robbins sent for his daughter and met
her in New York. He clsims that some
unknown person telegraphed here that the
girl was Lot his daughter, but that he was
leading her astray. Two days ago a
woman called on the girl and he has not
seen her since. Doctor Robbins did not
explain where he had been stopping since
the day he left the Palmer house. A
search of all the leading hotels last night
failed to locate the daughter. Mrs. Dye,
clerk of the Protective association, denies
any knowledge of the man or girl.

delivered and resolutions passed in favor
of the establishments of the temporal
power of the papacy. The more impor-
tant papers of Germany and in Austria
condemn the clericals and pronounce the
restoration of the temporal power an an

of the German bishops and of the Frei-

the beautiful tinge made hers the most

tiers drIpped off, that her hand was the

flowers off the bank, and under the bloom
commended that her hand was the most at

peared, and looking up, in her decrepi-

had not taken part in the rivalry gave her
aims. And all the women resolved to
leave to this beggar the question as to
which of all the hands present was the
most attractive, and she said "The most
beautiful of them all is the one that gave
relief to my necessities" and as she so

ment officials. The headquarters of the

1t is asserted in London paper that
the discovery made by Mr.. Hewett in the
artificial manufacture of quinine will
result in the reduction of the price Of that
article TO few cents pound. The i'm

greater by the fact that, while hitherto
dependence has been on the cultivation of

reception at Vienna has sent a thrill of
qualification throughout the empire.
Apart from the popular demonstrations,
the enthusiasm shown and the banquet
given to his majesty, the visit has been of
immense value in displaying the emperor's
latent energies. His social tact and per-
sonal geniality have hitherto been known
only in limited circles. The cur
rent criticisms, investing him
with cold, unsympathetic per-
sonality, have been corrected by
the smiling serenity with which he passed
through the trying ceremonies associated
with his reception. The talk at the embas-
sees and in the official circles at Vienna is
unceasing as to what the emperor said to
this one and how he received another

parsonage, giving to each the pleas
ing conviction of his having
passed through the ordeal of
Austrian society in triumph, acquiring a
new character as a man of cordial as we'll
as kingly presence. But his social triumph
is triflle beside the significance of the
exchange of imperial courtesies at the
banquets. Official papers here and at
Vienna comment upon the emperor's
speeches as assurances that the German
and Austrian armies are practically united
and ready for action against common
enemy. Any remote suspicion of Emperor
Williams inclining towards the czar has
been dispelled. On the contrary, several
incidents have occurred which impel the
conviction that decisive action for testing
the strength of the alliance will rot be
long delayed. Emperor William studi-
ously showed himself gracious toward the
militant and slavic element in Austro-
Hungary.
He decorated Premier Tisza and Herr
Won Scozanyl, and warmly received Count
Andrassy and other magyars, while ignor-
ing the slavic personages about the Aus
trian court. Emperor William will
remain in Vienna until Wednesday, when
he will start for Italy.
