The glass manufacturersoi the United

in Washington, D. O., this week. This
meeting promises TO be better attended
than any Of the previous meetings OF the
National Association, from the fact that
all the manufacturers Rre now vitality in

products. The most important work To
be done is the making OF arrangements
for the presentation OF their claims to
the Senate Committee.
In some departments, especially that
Of the flint trade, the Senate Tariff bill
is extremely unsatisfactory to the manu-.
facturers. There is us yet, however,
considerable difference of opinion among
them in regard TO Just what changes arc
necessary, These points will be settled
by the manufacturers at the National
meeting, and committees will then be
appointed TO see that the desired changes
arc properly brought before the Senate
Committee.
On Tuesday tho National Association
OF Window Glass Manufacturers will
meet. AS far MS could be learned every
firm in the Western Association, to
which Bellaire and Wellsburg belong,
will be represented. "A member said
that 1t was impossible to forecast what
would be done. Some Recommendations,
1t is expected, will be made in the an.
nual address OF President Bodine In re.
gard TO the tariff. Protests against any
reduction In the present duties will be
made.
On Wednesday the Green. Bottle Man

consideration OF the same question. On
Thursday the Flint Glass Manufacturers
Association will hold their National con.
vention. They are much more decided

Of one.half cent, such as is proposed
will have the effect Of absolutely killing

travelled extensively in Europe, and at-
tended noted conference In Switzer-

She was highly educated and established
n good reputation as public talker.
According TO her story she became ac-
quainted with Mr.. Lusk in 1870. They
were never known aB man and wife, and
the claim that she had been married to
him created great surprise here. A
child was born TO her several years ago,
and in his will, tho alleged father set
aside 5000 in trust for 1t. lie also left
its mother some property.
