Miss Consuclo Vanderbilt.

Ten years hence II famous belle in
this city will be Miss Consuelo Wander
bilt. All the conditions are favorable.
Miss Vanderbilt will then be Just MAX
ing her formal debut in society. The
wealth of her father, William X. Van
derbilt, may easily have grown to
$3.50, 900 1000. Her mother will have
passed ovcr from the ranks of gay
young wifehOod into matronliness, and
therefore be willing to put her daugh-
ter forward into her own former place
as II belle. Already the seven-ycar-old
Miss Consuclo has begun her career
of gcGtecl yet Snowy publicity. There
has been Il horse show in the Madison
Square Garden this week, and it has
been so extremely fashionable as to
quite hold its W against such popu-
lar plebeian counter attraction rs II
Presidential election. The wealthy
bcaux of swclldom proudly drove their
tandem teams around the ring compet-
itiveiy, bellies exhibited their saddle
horses, %pretentious families Sent their
coach-hanlers, and it is difficult to
imagine what would have happened
to Il common truck horse if lie had
Nentured INTO such equine company.
But in all this extra fine assemblage of
II and horses, the greatest con-
spicuousncss was obtained by little
Miss Consuelo Vanderbilt and her tiny
pony, Dumping. The child, Il pretty
creature, was in and out Of the box
hired by her father. She was beauti-
fully dressed, and it was clear that she
was a family pet. The pony was a fat,
handsome little beast, to which the
first prize in its class was awarded.
He was %gorgeously caparisoned, and
the addition of the prize decoration
counted only as a bit more of glory
for a mighty lucky brute. The advent
of Consuelo Vanderbilt into social live
illness of a semi-public nature thus be-
gius, beyond a doubt, a career of UNI
precedcntcd brilliance. What a prize
for matrimony!-Ctar Beiie's Letter to

CHEWING UP IRON.
Big Machines That Cut Scrap SO That 1t
Can BE Used Again.

How is scrap iron utilized? In a city
where are there as many foundries and
manufacturing works as in Pittsburg
an immense quantity of it is sold. But
what do the dealers do with it?
Doubtless this question has puzzled
others besides the Dispatch reporter
who undertook its solution the other
day. In his wahderings about the city
the newspaper man spicd Il sigu on a
building indicating that the latter was
occupied by '.lcalers in iron and Steel"
and at once sought an interview with
the proprietor.
"What do we do with scrapp Cut it
up and sell it TO furnaces and mills.
Come out into the works and I'll show
you how It's done"
And the gentleman led the way
from the office into a yard in which
was piled tons upon tons of old iron
aud steel. There were all sorts of
utensils. or pieces of them, from wagon
springs to cnginc-boilcrs. Old axes,
shovels, hoes, cooking stoves, piles of
stove pipe, pots and kettles. and a
thousand and one other articles made
up of the miscellaneous assortment.
"Ihc first thing to be done with the
scrap after it is received here is to sort
it, separating the iron from the steel.
Castings that are too big to handle in
bulk are broken up by Il big machine
called the drop and then the whole is
cut into convenient shape for use in
crucibles. For cutting there are
powerful machines which | will show
you"
A workman was seated on a bench
with a big pile of wagon springs near
him. These he was feeding, one by
one, to a big machine which kept a
huge Jaw working upand down, biting
off Il piece of steel with each move
ment Near by was a larger machine,
which must have been many tons in
weight. The knife that did tie cutting
was attached to aud apparently Il part
of a huge iron beam, which worked up
and down propelled by steam power.
This beam resembled in shape the
head and snout of a big black hog, and
this appearance was heightened BY the
steady opening and shutting of the
ugly iron jaw, which was chewing up
the plates of what had once been a
strong engine boiler, into pieces three
or four inches square. When the iron
or steel has been cut or broken into
this shape it is ready for sale in lots of
several tons.
where do you get your material?n
"from many sources. Some of it
comes from cities as distant as Mil
waukee and Detroit, and some has
been picked up here at home. 1t comes
to us in b%oat-loads, carloads. and
wagon-loads. The rag mon of the city
gather up iron on their rounds, and
when the junk dealers have accumu-
lated several tons of it they sell tito us.
Then the trading boats that ascend the
Allegheny aud the Monongahela bring
us large quantities. They take out
glassware, tinware, and other goods,
which their owners exchange with.
farmers and others for old iron, and
come back loaded with that material.
1t comes to us in every conceivable
form from every quarter"

with a sandy moustache," pursued the
woman, while the cash boys yelled and
struggled around her. "He is sorL of

not to give it to the wrong person."
The cashier sighed heavily and nodded
absently.
