Colorado Steel and Iron.

DENVER, Nov. 12.-President Edward
Berwind, of the Colorado Coal & Trol
company, arrived from the east some day
ago, and very extensive improvement
have been inaugurated to be at once pu
in motion for the better facilitation OF the
company's business affairs. The new
blast furnace at the steel works was
blown i'll yesterday. The cost of this
furnace is $230,000 and the capacity is
l3O tons of bessemer every twenty-four
hours. This great furnace will consume
daily 1870 tons OF coke, $50 tons of coal,
140 tons of lime rock and about 300 tons
of iron ore, the latter being governed by
the per cent of iron in the ore. The old
furnace, which has been in operation for
a number of years, was closed down for
repairs, which are now nearly completed,
and it will be blown in on December 10.
The old furnace has a capacity of eighty
tons every twenty-four hours, so that
when both furnaces are running 2l0 tons
will be the capacity, and the company
then will employ about 1900 men in the
works and the mines.
Mr.. George Cook, representing the COM
pany in this city, says that the company
is now shipping daily $500 tons of coal,
600 tons Of coke and fifty tons of manu-
factured iron. He also says they are short
OF miners and want about 500 more than
are now employed. Mr.. Berwnd spent
day or two at Walsenburg and arranged
for the construction of fifty four-room
houses at that place TOR the use of miners.
The company has experienced considera-
BILE trouble at Walsenburg in getting
miners, for the most of them have families
and there are but few houses at the mines.
The new houses will cost $4,000.
Mr.. Berwind, who is connected with the
Berwind- White Coal company, Of Penn
sylvania, is considered the heaviest ship
per of bituminous coal in the United
States, shipping from $4,000 to 10000
,ons daily. He is quite enthusiastic over
5he affairs at Bessemer, and when every
hing now in course of construction and
-epair is under headway the amount of
business and traffic resulting therefrom
will result in great deal of good for the
entire company.

Darning by Machine.

First colored basting thread was
run by hand on each side of the rent
for a guide, to indicate how far the
stitching should extend and to secure
uniformity of outline. The material
was placed under the presser-foot with
the needle close to the guide thread
and row of stitching run directly
across the tear as far as the guide
thread on the opposite side, holding
the material firm and slightly stretched
with both hands that it might not
pucker. Then by touching the wheel
the machine was stopped with the
needle down, the presser-foot raised,
the goods turned half-around, and an
other line OF stitching run close to and
parallel with the first, stopping at the
first guide thread. The wheel was
again checked with the needle down,
presser-foot raised, towel turned back
to first position, and third parallel
line of stitching run. When the en-
tire rent had been stitched over back
wards and forwards in this manner it
was crossed in the opposite direction,
although the darning was even then so
firm as to render the cross-stitching
unnecessary except in the center
where the hole had been.
had always supposed that if a. ma
chine were run over an open space
without any material under it that the
threads would pucker and knot, and
perhaps break the needle, but to
my surprise, it ran on, the threads
winding around each other and filling
in the hole in the strongest and most
substantial manner. There were only
two precautions to be observed, which
also apply to hand darning, viz: that
the tension on the thread used be a
little loose, and that the darn be made
large enough to reach the strong part
of the material, otherwise a new hole
will soon be found alongside the darn
caused by the strength of the repaired
portion drawing upon the weak threads
surrounding it.
In this manner the holes in the best
tablecloths and towels were mended,
and the thin weak places stitched
over, and it would have delighted the
eye of any good housekeeper to have
seen this pile of linen when it returned
from the laundry: the towels were al
most as strong as new ones, and the
tOIu DldCeS Ill Guo ldUlO Iu6H were 81
smooth that the darn was scarcely
perceptible.
l found that this method of repair
ing was capable of application to
many other articles than plain table
linen or towels. Where the ends OF
neck-bands or wristbands of shirts
had become parted from the body,
they were again firmly and smoothly
attached in this way. and even the
worn buttonholes and the weak parts
around them were made whole in the
same manner.
There are some things. however,
that cannot be darned by the machine
without an extra attachment, as for
instance hosiery, and this, as well as
rents in dresses, is best repaired by
hand.-G00d housekeeping.

hand, foot or head by the customary
t0uche.
The position differs materially from
the pugilistic guard. In boxing the left
side is presented to an opponent with
the left hand and foot well in the front,
two-thirds of the weight of the body
resting upon the right leg. In la SaUate
the men stand nearly facing each other,
the knees we'll bent. each leg supporting
an equal amount of the weight of the
body. Sometimes one side is presented
and sometime the other, the men chang
ing their guard continually. The arms
are kept we'll bent and drawn closely to
the body, every blow being struck from
the waist In retreating or advancing
the knees are kept we'll bent, the SAGA
teur maintaining a crouching attitude.
The two men took their position with
the left hand and foot forward. Pro
fessor TrOnchet Immediately commenced
operations by feint at lead with his left
but instead his right foot flew forward
and landed on Ansots left shin. This
blow, if well delivered with an ordinary
walking shoe, will break the THEA or
lacerate the leg The professors next
attempt to land this blow was neatly
paired by Ansot by simply bending his
knee and raising his shin out of reach.
After the t0ucb6 had been acknowledge
ed the men again assumed their posi-
tons Ansot tented with his left hand
and then brought his right foot forward
as if to land a blow on his adversary's
shin. Professor Tronchet parried by
bending the knee, but quick as a flash
his opponent pivOted on his left foot
and kicked the professor in the stomach
with the bottom of his right.
After the t0uche Tronchet made left
hand lead for Ansot face, but the lat
ter threw up his left elbow to catch the
blow, at the same time planting the toe
of his slipper directly on the professor s
belt This blow is one seldom given in
practice, as it is very dangerous on &C
count of the difficulty in gauging the
force of the kick and the movements of
the opponent, but it is most effective in
q street fight.
In the next bout Ansot attempted to
lead with his left hand, but instead of
courtering as boxer would, Tronchet
planted his toe with the greatest pre-
cision on his opponents heart.
Professor Tronchet then made another
left-hand feint, but instead of kicking
Ansot on the shin or swinging his right
usI 1ol hHoChouI' NC swung LIS IlSHt
foot directly for his opponents chin, but
it was cleverly parted with the left
wrist and the professor received a kick
on the belt.
Immediately upon taking their posi-
tions for the next bout Tronchet made
a change of guard, throwing his right
foot and hand to the front. When An
sot attempted to change likewise his for
ward movement was stopped by the sole
of Tronchets shoe being planted square
ly on his throat.
After sparring for moment Iron Chef
sprang forward quick as a flash. and
throwing Ansot's arms aside butted HIM
squarely in the abdomen. Ansot didn' t
have breath enough left him to t0uchs,

New Process in Wiremaking.

Wire is now being manufactured
whether iron, copper, or brass-by a
new and greatly improved process,
and at considerably reduced cost.
The machine devised for this purpose
consists of series of rolls in q contin-
uous train, geared with common
driver, each pair of rolls having a
greater speed than the pair preceding
it, with an intervening friction clutch
adapted to graduate the speed of the
rolls to the speed of the wire in pro-
cess of rolling. The entire operation
of producing the smallest sized wires
from rods of one-half inch is done cold.
1t is alleged that this method obviates
the danger of unequal annealing and
of burning in the furnaces-in addition
to this the wire being more flexible
and homogeneous than that made by
any ordinary method, and capable of
sustaining greater longitudinal strain;
in the case of copper wire there is said
to be a greatly increased electrical

but he acknowledged that he had been
touched by sitting down suddenly and
Upon recovering himself he attempted
to retaliate, but Tronchets right tKnee
flew up and Icaught Ansot squarely on
the forehead.
On taking their positions again Iron
Chef aimed a straight blow at his oppon-
ent's chin, but fell short by an inch, and
Ansot grasped his ankle with both
hands. 1t looked as though Tronchet
must fall to the ground at the mercy of
his opponent, but like flash he turned
and landed on his hands. Before Ansot
could take advantage of the professor S
position and kick him in the stomach
Tronchets right leg shot out and landed
first on his opponents chin and then on
his belt. Ansot let go of the professor s
foot.
When they squared off again Ansot
sprang lightly into the air. Out went
both feet, and biff! biff! they landed,
one on Tronchet's stomach, the other
squarely between the eyes. But not to
be outdone the professor tented with
his left hand and sprang into the air, at
the same time landing both heels stimuli
taneously upon Ansots chest.
Every blow during the whole exhibit
ton was delivered with the greatest pre-
cIsion, and at the same time nearly every
one was as light as the pat of a child.
The accuracy in gauging the distance of
an opponent was remarkable even when

could come up.

almost as soon as the pistol was out OF

when he received kick squarely in the
stomach that doubled him up on a neigh
boring stairway. Another one of the
hoodlums struck at the marine, but re-
ceived a smash on the shin and blow
on the jaw at the same time.
In the meantime the third had ap-
preached the kicker from behind, and
was just ready to spring upon his back
when he found a boot heel planted
squarely between his eyes.
A couple of policemen appeared on
the scene and boldly rushed upon the
staggering marine. They were prompt
ly kicked into the gutter. They were
determined, however, and by generous
use of their clubs finally overpowered
the little sailor and landed him in the
city prison.
What enabled the sailor to defend
himself so admirably was a thorough
knowledge of la Sd0dte, the French style
of boxing with the hands, head and feet.
Every morning at o'clock on every
man ofwar in the French navy the men
are called on deck and compelled to
practice la sdCGte under the direction of
an Instructor attached to each vessel.
The daily practice on board the Du-
Quesne has attracted the attention of
every luulNluudl on the CITY front. Inc
sailors on neighboring vessels sit for
hours in the rigging, their teeth firmly
set on their tobacco and entirely oblivi-
Gus to everything except the deck of the
man-of-war. The harbor police climb
upon warehouse roofs, and with glasses
leveled upon the vessel wonder what the
disturbance means and why no signal for
relief is sounded.
Sailors and marines are all over the
deck, striking, butting kicking like
fiends, while the officers stand calmly
by, occasionally directing the men in
their practice.
Professor Tronchet, of the san Fran
cisco Fencing Club, who was formerly
an instructor of fencing and la SdDate in
the French army. was seen by an Erdm-
s1aer reporter and consented to give an
exhibition with Henry Ansot, during
which instantaneous photographs were
taken by one of the Examiner artists.

Filling a Long Felt Want.

Some day or other every reporter
will carry around a photograph and
when he interviews man the latter's
words will be taken down with an
accuracy admitting of no dispute.
Then when the interviewed gentleman
comes around in the morning like a
volcanic eruption to explain that his
language was distorted and all that
sort of thing the reporter can quietly
roll the photograph with one hand
and gun with the other and ask him
what he is going to do about it. When
this scheme can be successfully oper-
ated a long felt want will be filled.
As it is at present when man gets in
to trouble because of his remarks be-
ing faithfully printed he at once swears
that the reporter mixed up his words
with an egg beater and then run them
in. In such a manner the guileless
newspaper worker frequently gains
reputation for lying which he does not

prefer fencing-but it is very popular
with the people generally.
Boxing is a very scientific mode of
fighting, and quite effective as a means
of self-defense, and at the same time it
should be termed the 'fistic art, in
stead of the art of self-defense, for it
does not embody half the defensive pow
ers possessed by man. 1t is very good
for exhibition purposes, but there are
too many limitations and restrictions at
tached to it for street fighting. An op-
ponent then is acting without regard to
rules, his only aim being to iniict as
much punishment as possible
Mature has given man hands, feet
and head and according to the rules of
Ia saUate you can use any of these as you
choose. You are at liberty to kick, butt
or strike an opponent anywhere from
the top of his head to the sole of his
foot, and a scientific SGgdteur can sue
cessfully defend himself against the
combined attack of three or four per-
sons.
In practice the hands are 1ncased in
ordinary boxing gloves with long we'll
padded gauntlets to project the arm in
warding off blows, while light slippers
with sOles an inch in thickness made of
the softest hemp are worn on the feet.
The only rule in practice is that which
requires the saUateur to acknowledge
each blow received from either the
