~ oAtAIifo EzAFAAuaI1oA OF IA6 - AZ AilU-
minatins Gas Il Made.
How few people can intelligibly explain
some Of the most ordinary things in
every day life. An official of the city
gas works 'ras heard to say not long, ago
that If he might judge by the number Of
times he was asked for information, not
more than two people IN ten know
how common eliminating gas is made.
They all seem to understand, he said,
that It comes out of soft coal, but they
are ignorant Of the process by which it is
extracted. We do not doubt this at all,
for il is the common things that we are
apt to overlook in our search for infor-
nation.
Now, let US give you simple explana-
ton IF gas making. Break up piece of
bituminous coal into small fragments and
fill the bowl of clay tobacco pipe with
them. Cover the mouth of the bowl
with wet clay and then thoroughly dry
II. Put the bowl Of the pipe into fire
where it will get red hot, and you will
soon see yellowish smoke come out Of
the stem, and if you touch light to the
smoke it will burn brightly, for it is
nothing more or less than the gas from
the coal. # ees 80
You can purify and collect this gas in
simple way. Fill bottle with water
and turn it upside down in q bowl Of
water. You know the water will not
run out of the bottle because the air pres
sure on the water in the bowl will pre-
vent it. Put the end of the pipe stem
under the mouth Of the bottle, and the
gas will bubble up through the water into
the bottle, gradually displacing the water,
and if the Pipe were large enough to
make great deal Of gas the bottle would
be entirely filled with it.
You have seen the immense quantities
of coke which they have at the gas
works; that Is what is left OF the coal
after the gas has been burned out Of it.
Coke Is carbon, only small part Of what
was in the coal having gone off with the
gas. Take tho clay covering off your
pipe and you will find the bowl filled
with this coke.
Now, that Is precisely the way gas is
made in large quantities at the gas works.
Instead Of pipe bowls they use big re-
bOIlSp bi1SSe SIO lltilLCu Tbu IICL Ny
furnace, for the fire must DO outside Of
the retorts, Heating coal red hot in a
closed retorr is different from burning it
in the open mir. 4 large pipe from the
retort Carries off the product Of the coal,
consisting Of steam, tar, air and ammo
MIA, as we'll as gas. Tho ammonia and
the tar go into tanks, and the gas into
coolers, and then over lime, which takes
up the acids init into the immense iron
Gas holders which you have seen at the
works.
These holders ere open at the bottom,
and stand, or rather swing, In tanks Of
water, being adjusted by means Of
weights. As the gas comes into them
they rise up out Of the water, but the
bottoms are always submerged, 80 that
the gas co?not escape. The large gas
pipes, or mains rs they are called, con-
meet with the holders and conduct the
gas through tire streets to the houses
where it is used. The pressure is given
10 the gas by the weight Of the iron hold
srs, which are always bearing down on
the gas they contain.

Milk Is not always admirable rs o din
ner drink, especially when fish plays any
part in the menu. Tea or coffee taken
with meat is simply suicidal. These hot
beverages turn the meat into something
assembling leather, and tho result inter-
fefej sadly with digestion. The man who
desires long Fife must not give place to
"high tea" in his daily programme. OF
tea itself it can only be said that it is
too strong. The American lady who
after several calls and cup Of tea at
each remarked that she could "always
worry down another cup" was probably
unaware of tho mischief she was doing
herself. No one need totally abstain
from tea if they only take the precaution
to buy it good, not to make it strong, not
to let it infuse long, never to take it
more than twice a day and to abjure it
after 5 in the afternoon.
Tho morning tub is indispensable to all
who wish to live q long and healthy life
II is true that there have been centena-
rians who have known nothing Of this
luxury, but their longevity has been in
spite Of that fact, not because Of it. The
bath is good, but not too much bath.
Walking is good, but it must not be over
done. Dickens overdid it. Most of us,
however, underdo it, and scarcely walk
enough. Flesh accumulates upon us in
middle age because we do not take suf1i-
cicnt exercise, and then we give up long
walks because we are stout and con5e-
quently lazy, thus reversing tho process
of cause and effect. The health suffers
seriously, and q way is opened to many
rlaladics. Cor. London News

An Indian Girl Embraces an English
Gentleman. Who Marries Her.
STANDING Rock, OAK, October 1S,-The
people of the agency have been greatly
surprised by sensational courtship oul-
minating in marriage here yesterday
Last week small party of eastern gentle
men, who were securing this country on a
hunting and pleasure expedition, lost their
bearing and wandered to the agency,
where the Indians gave them the necessary
information in regard to their route. In
the com pany was Henry Ashburton, n
wealthy young man of Leeds, England.
While preparing dinner in their tent the
first day after their arrival the daughter
of one of the leading chiefs entered, ap-
preached the astonished young Briton and
threw her arms around his neck, repeatedly
kissing him. The young woman was very
good looking, and the young man, though
greatly sstonished, did not attempt to
check her. Their acquaintance ripened
to love, and the wedding took place yes
terday. The maiden is half-breed about
18 years of age. Her face 10 white and
delicate, and, attired in civilized and fash.
ionable garments, no one would ever sus-
pect she was of Indian parentage.

LAFAYETTE, Ind, October 18.-The
second day of republican celebration at
Tippecanoe battle-ground can hardly be
called a SUCCESS. From the early morn
ing rain fell steadily, and, by 11:30 a. m u,
when the speaking at the tabernacle
began, the crowd had dwindled to less
than 5000. Ira j. Chase, candidate for
lieutenant-governor of Indiana, Colonel
Law, of Atlanta, Ca, and Others enter
tained the crowd until Hon. Robt. T..
Lincoln, of Chicago, was announced.
Shortly after o'clock Mr.. Lincoln was
introduced as the eldest son of our
martyred president, Abraham Lincoln
and was greeted with generous applause
He spoke an hour, oonfining his remarks
mainly to the discussion of the tariff
While he was speaking the firing of cannon
announced the arrival of Governor
Foraker, who took seat on the platform
until the conclusion of Mr.. Lincoln'i
speech.
Quite an ovation was rendered the gov
ernor when he arose. He devoted himself
almost entirely to attacks on Thurmsn's
speech on the tariff question. He was
frequently applsuded.
At 3 O'Clock the speaking and oelebra-
tion ended together.

ENGLISH COMMERCE.

Dull and Discouraging Status OF Trade
at British Commercial Centers.
MANCHESTER, Eng, October 1.-THE
Guardien, in its commercial article, says:
No material progress is evident. Some
producers have made better progress than
lately, but others report greater difficulty
in selling. Altogether, therefore, busi-
ness is as discouraging as last week, 80
far as actual transactions are concerned.
Little was done for India and China.
Sales for Luckheday in Calcutta are esti-
mated at $4,000 packages, against 10000
in 1887 Business was chiefly in early de-
livery goods and these were sold
mostly to those importers who had
ALREADY contrated therefor. Native
Indian dealers largely avoided entering
into contracts for forward delivery. This
was mainly due to higher prices asked,
and also to full supplies on hand. There
was little inquiry for China and Japan.
Minor foreign markets have taken small
quantities.; home houses, though more dis
posed to buy, have not begun to purchase
more freely. Some orders of no great
importance altogether, we're given for
export yarns for India and the continent,
but generally the foreign demand was
sluggish. Home manufacturers oonfiDe
their purchases to supplying their actual
immediate needs, declaring that prices are
beyond their reach.
Reports from the cloth departments
generally are unfavorable. Manufacturers
are greatly dissatisfied with the prices OBJ.
tainable, and even with these there is little
progress. Some decline to take orders
for forward delivery except at higher
prices. The production of many kinds
of cloth has been sensibly reduced, but
distributing markets stubbornly resist al
efforts to establish higher rates. Most
kinds of India and China staples are very
firm. Some are slightly hardening, but
producers have to content themselves with
reduction of printing and other finish
ing Cloths are firm with small sales
Heavy goods are plentiful, with slow de-
mand, chiefly for small quantities.

FORT WAYNE
Another Rousing Ovation to the
Old Roman-The Bandana
Procession.
What Thurman Sald-Jim Blaine
on the Old Battlefield
of Tippecanoe.

Fort WAYNE, Ind, October 1.-THE
day of the big barbecue dawned clear
and bright, and early this morning crowds
began to appear on the streets. Fort
Wayne's $4,000 people we're early rein
forced by the inhabitants of the county,
while the morning trains brought hun =
dreds and thousands from neighboring
towns. Many came as individuals, but
many others we're organized, prepared
for the parade of the day. Judge
Thurman arose at 8 o'clock after
a quiet and refreshing sleep.
Soon after breakfast his door
was thrown open to the multitude, and
thousands availed themselves of the op-
portunity to take him by the hand. Be-
sides the judge, prominent visitors and
citizens i'll carriages, the procession in
oluded veterans, soldiers, railroad men,
visiting clubs, Fort Wayne democratic
organizations, citizens on foot, hunters
and shooting clubs, butchers, floats and
wagons.
The procession formed at noon, and,
after marching through the streets, which
were lined with people, went to Hamilton
fields, in the southern part of the city,
where three speaking stands had been
erected for the occasion.
Prominent among the line of process
sion, was the bsndana handkerchief, while
dresses, coats and umbrellas of bandaua
red, gave brilliant appearance to the
parade.
,bna.
ex-senator Mcdonald stood with Judge
Thurman on the hotel balcony as he re-
Viewed the parade, which took 35 minutes
to pass. One big wagon carried pyra-
mid of handsome young ladies
dressed in bandanas, who
waived and cheered enthusiast
tically in response to the ovation given
them by the crowd. When the carriages
reached the speaking stand 10000
people were already on the ground
while several thousand more were soon
added to the audience. At the sight of
Judge Thurman the crowd oheered
heartily, and during his remarks they ap-
plauded generously. Fred. j. Havens, of
Fort Wayne, on behalf of Mr.. M. B.
Masters, who has voted the democratic
ticket for fifty years, presented the judge
with hickory cane which had been out
and suitably engraved by Mr.. Masters. In
spouse Judge Thurman said:
Thanks. This I take to be hickory.
1t looks very much like it, and it looks as
if should let that end of it fall on the
head of republican-if he was mean
mamie would bo mighty apt to 60 down.
Applause.
His response was followed by short
talk to the people on the other side of the
stand, who had been unable to see and
hear him as they wished. He was in good
voice and he seemed to have suffered no
exhaustion from the severe Misunderstanding
ordeal through which he passed this
morning. After the conclusion of these
little speeches the judge and his party re-
turned to the hotel.

Cigar Factory Failed.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, October 18.-At-
tachments for large sums have been
placed on the property of the Atlantic
Cigar company, Westfeld, and on the
property of William A. Abbott, presi-
dent, closing the factory and throwing
100 hands out of work. The company is
hopelessly involved. President William
A. Abbott has disappeared and his where
abouts are unknown, though he is thought
to be in Canada. His private fortune is
entirely absorbed, so that nothing can
be saved from the wreck. There is no
evidence of intentional dishonesty 80 far.
The company was one of the largest
cigar houses in Massachusetts.

Blaiue and the Repub leans Have "Blow-
Out" on the Old Battlefield.
LAFAYETTE, Ind. :, October 1.-THE day
for the great demonstration at Tippecanoe
battle ground opened clear and warm.
The city began to fill up early as Z O'Clock.
ALI trains came in burdened with visitors.
At 10 o'clock the streets were almost
impossible SO great was the crowd, and
many thousands had already gone out to
the battle ground. Although trains of
twenty cars were running out to the
grounds every half hour, transportation
proved inadequate. Local republicans
gave street parade at 8 O'Clock this
morning. Log cabins, live coons
and brass bands without number
we're in line. Enthusiasm ran
very high. Pictures of General Har-
r1son were seen on all sides, and crowds
on the sidewalk broke out every few mo-
ments in cheers for Ben Harrison. Ex-
Secretary of the Navy W. R. Thompson
arrived early this morning with number
of old veterans. General Alger arrived at
8 O'Clock from Indianapolis. General
Hovey and Corporal Tanner came up
from Bedford by an early train with
delegation of 1000 republicans. Mr..
Blaine rose late this morning. He left
for the battle ground, 11:30, accompanied
by General Alger. Ten thousand people
surrounded the car and he was rendered q
most enthusiastic ovation. II was calcu-
lated a crowd of nearly twenty thousand
awaited his arrival at the battle ground.

an address, together with copy of these
resolutions.
Judge Carroll moved then that the in
vitations to visit southern and southwest
ern Texas be accepted.
Governor Adams, of Colorado, said that
to go to one place to make an exsmna-
ton of its claims would en-
tail visit to every place on the
coast which thinks it has any
claims, and that would require sixty or
ninety days. If the committee went to
the coast he wanted them to go as pleas
ure seekers from the great northwest, and
not as committee Investigating the
merits of any place for deep water har-
Dor.
The committee then took recess till s
O'Clock. On re-assembling the resolutions
were declared to be out of order, ,theDenver
convention having covered all the ground.
Many matters were discussed pertaining to
deep water.
Judge Hancock then offered the for
mula of bill to be introduced in con.
gress providing for an appropriation of
$10,O00000 to be expended on one
point on the Texas coast for the
purpose of securing deep
water harbor. The point to be
selected by commission of government
engineers, after the bill providing the
money has been passed.
Senator Houston offered an amendment
to the effect that the point selected by
the engineers shall be adopted only by
assent of the secretary of war.
This amendment brought up discus
sion pro and con that lasted until after
midnight, but finally the original of the
bill was adopted, and Senator Houston's
amendment rejected.
Several resolutions of minor Importance
were adopted and the committee ad-
journed.
