EXTENDING THE PLANT.

The Standard Plate Glass Works Contract.
ing for Great Improvements-Americn
Glass the Best.
The Standard Plate Glass Company mas
contracted for very noteworthy improve
ments of its plant at Butler. There are
now 400 men at work in the glasshouse,
and the monthly product of the concern is
$1,000 feet Of glass.
The company is now putting up new
furnace of 20 pots, 10 new annealing ovens,
. polishing machines, 2 more grinding
machines and a new brick warehouse,
whose dimensions will be 175x75 feet. This
addition to the works will also require sew
eral more boilers and eight more engines.
One of the stockholders of the company,
speaking of the enlargement Of the factory
yesterday afternoon, said:
This addition to our works will increase our
capacity to 5000 feet of plate glass per month.
Inc improvements are not made On specula-
tion, but because the trade demands them.
American plate glass is now gradually eclips-
ing the production Of that article of Belgium
and England. Natural gas been the great
factor in the manufacture. BY the use of nat
ural gas the glass made is much more brilliant
than the foreign glass. and then the article
does not fade like the imported product.
Inc increase in our plant will give 100 more
employees work at the establishment. We hope
to have everything in shape in about go days.

SUNDAYS DRY HOTEL.
Apt Illustration of What a Strict Con-
struction of Law Leads To.
THIRSTY DRUMMERs FIGHT shy
OF a City in Which They Can Get Nothing
but Soft Drinks.
A CLERK WHO MoRALIzES UPON IT

"You may send to my room, please, three
bottles of beer and dozen cigars"
The speaker was one of three Yankees;
time, Sunday morning; scene, popular
hotel.
"whatr gasped the astonished clerk, as
he fell back into the arms of his co-workei;
"Why, you ought to be glad you are
living"
Come, now," replied the Yankee, little
nettled, "send up the beer and stop fool
ing"
"But CAM, explained the clerk. "Its
against the law"
ooh, confound the lawsl We take no
stock in them. Come, send up the stuff and
it will be all right" continued the Yankee.
"No, that is out of the question"
Then the Bostonian got angry, and COM
menced to curse the clerk and the city in
general.
"Can take walk?" he asked mocking-
ly, "or do they chain people in Pittsburg on
Sunday? 1 never heard Of such city, and
I'll be sure to steer clear the next time 1
have occasion to spend Sunday away from
home" Having vented his wrath, he walked
away.
''That is sample, said the clerk turning
to reporter, ''of what we have to endure on
Sundays When these people find they
can't buy cigars and drinks on Sunday they
usually blame us. I tell them we are not
responsible for these laws.
"Now some of them do avoid the city on
Sundays who used to stop here; but they
have to stay somewhere, and they often come
back. 1t must be admitted that whisky
makes trade lively and keeps money in cir
culation. Since the liquor laws have been
enforced so stringently there has been fall
ing off in the hotel business. The man from
the country, who often came to the city to
buy, trade, get drunk, stop over few days
and enjoy life, still comes; but be arrives
here in the morning and goes home at night
He salts down his extra cash in an old sock,
and there it remains. He is silent gen.
orally and not so lively as he used to be-;
but don't believe he is any happier.
Liquor. a little of it, mean, seems to
add spice and zest to trade. When people
rush from one extreme to the other business
always drops. If men were dead drunk all
the time, and did nothing but carouse, such
q state Of affairs would be demoralizing.
On the other hand, when they become too
good, they lose energy and are content to
live quietly, and again business suffers.
Prohibition will not help matters; neither
will too much whisky. A little of both
would be the proper thing, and herein the
solution Of the problem lies"

A Man With Two Wives Is Found Our by
Spouse No. 1.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DrsPArcH.J
PORTLAND, Me-, February 25-George
W. Haynes, who has led a dual existence
with two wives, is now in hot water because
of the discovery of wife No. 2 by the first
wife, and tomorrow he will endeavor to
make his peace with two enraged females,
each of whom supposed she was the only
object of his affections. The fun began
Saturday, when very pretty little woman,
with eyes blazing with fury, rushed into
police headquarters and explained that she
wanted her husband arrested. She said her
name was Addie F. Haynes. She had mar
ried Haynes 13 years ago, in Auburn, but
she could not recall the name of the minis
ter, and had destroyed the marriage certif-
cate. They lived together until few
months ago, and he len deserted her. A
short time ago she was more than surprised
when she learned that her husband was
married to another woman.
IL appears that Haynes, who is by pro-
fession hotel cook, went to the town OF
Phillips, where he made the acquaintance
of young lady of good family and of more
than common personal attraction. This
woman Miss Robinson, he married the
LIST of January, giving his name as w. E.
Steward.
, Marshal Hawkes. placed the case in the
hands of Sheriff Webb, who sent Deputy
Sheriff Sergeant to Yarmouth, where he
found Haynes at Yarmouth Hotel. Haynes
seemed remarkably unconcerned. He ad-
mitted that he lived with Mrs. Haynes for
13 years, but said he was never married to
her that he could remember, and proposed
to make her prove the marriage.

SORE WORTH
The Terrible Condition of o 4-Year-
Old Girl on the SOuthslde,
WHO SWALLOWED A COPPER COIN.
The Accident Occurred Four Months Ago,
and Death viii Ensue.
A NEIGHBoR's STORY OF THE AFFAIR

A peculiar and distressing case has come
to light on the Southside, which is both OF
interest to the medical fraternity and to the
mothers of children who are in the habit OF
dieting themselves on pennies, buttons and
other little articles of somewhat indigesti-
BILE nature. The latter may now point out
this accident to the children as terrible
example of the practice of putting pennies
in their mouths. The victim in this case is
child but four years old, and 1t is likely
her illness will result fatally.
Julia Stroop, a 4-year-old girl, swallowed
penny about four or five months ago, and
is to-day suffering from the results. Her
parents are of German origin, and reside IN
the second story OF little frame house In
Larkins' alley, near Twenty-third street.
STORY OF THE MIsHAP. ,..
A call was made at the house last even
ing, but as the parents could not fully un-
derstand the nature of the reporters visit, a
neighboring lady, who has taken much in
terest in the child, offered an explanation OF
the case, and pleasantly gave what little
information she possessed in the case. The
family never spoke very freely OF the acci-
dent, and the details are meager.
As far as could be learned, it seems that
one day, several months ago, the child was
given a penny, and, as she had no pocket In
her dress, she put it in her mouth. A sud
den shock caused the little one to swallow
the cent The coin lodged for moment in
her throat, and then passed into the stom-
ach. The child did not complain of feeling
ill, and although Mrs. Stroup was advised
to physic her she did not do so. The coin
still remains in the child's stomach or
bowels. A few days afterward the child
complained of feeling i'll. The mother
thought it was only a slight ailment, and no
physician was summoned.
THE FRIGHTFUL RESULT.
About month ago the child's body
became infamed, and soon afterward large,
eruptive sores broke out over her body.
The ulcers rapidly spread, until to-day she
is mass of fostering flesh. Her safferings
are intense. For over week she has eaten
no solid food, and refuses to partake of any
when offered to her. Her life is sustained
by the injection of fluids into her system.
A physician from the city was summoned
about two weeks ago, and, although he has
done everything in his power to check the
malady and sustain life, his efforts are prov
ing fruitless.
The family are in comfortable circum-
stances. The husband is employed in one
of the nearby factories. As has been stated
previously, the family are Germans and
have made but few acquaintances in the
neighborhood, and when the accident oc-
cured they did not know whom to call on
for advice.

THE SECRET WAY.
The Mode Of Enameling Brick Explained.
and tho Ingredients Used.

The Mode Of Enameling Brick Explained
and tho Ingredients Used.
Within the past few years an observant
person could not have failed to have noticed
the wonderful strides made in brick and tile
making in this vicinity, as the many fine
examples shown in the best dwellings of the
two cities testify.
The most durable as also the most attract
i've brick manufactured are those with the
enameled surfaces, which are colored in
pleasing variety.
The process Of their manufacture has re-
mained secret until very lately. a
The practice of enameling dates far back
into the early centuries of the Christian
era, and the secrets of the manufacture of it
were generally kept in the families engaged
in the enameling business; and but recently
experiments made by some American chem
lists prove that the art can be applied in
many different branches of industry where
fine and artistic effects are TO be produced.
To get these effects the workman selects
such bricks as are burnt evenly and as
nearly perfect as possible. The side to be
enameled is then treated with a light coat
ing of soluble glass, which acts as a sizing.
After a sufficient number have been treated
in this way the application of the enamel
follows. This is composed of 16 parts of
red lead. 8 parts of calcined borax, IL parts
Of powdered flint glass and parts of pow
dered fints; the whole to be fused in o
crucible and reduced to paste in water to
the proper consistency. Then it is applied
to the prepared surface OF the bricks with a
brush. After the coating has become dry
and hard the bricks are placed in an oven
which is heated highly enough to again
fuse the enamel. After that is done the
bricks are removed from the oven, and
beautiful white polished surface is the re-
suit.
To obtain the colored enamels the various
oxides of metals are used over the white
and again burned.
When these bricks are placed in build
ings they will endure for ages, being per-
fectly impervious to rain or snow, and en-
tirely unaffected by weather.

A PROFIT In DEATHS.
How an Opportunity of Carriage Ride is
Afforded Impecuuious Peopie-An oid
Woman Who Retails Funeral Seats.

Woman Who Retails Funeral seats.
''I'll bet that funeral is from the vicinity
of the Point" said a liveryman on Penn
avenue one day last week, as a procession
of carriages, many in number, went out the
avenue "And I'll further bet that the old
woman furnished the carriages" he said, as
he counted five and six occupants in each
vehicle
These remarks started line Of questions
from the reporter, the result of which shows
that others beside the undertaken and livery
man profit by the death of person in GER
tain districts of the city. 1t seems, accord
ing to the ideas of the liveryman; that
class Of people in the vicinity of the Point
and like neighborhoods, are very much at
tached to the idea of attending funeral and
having a ride in a carriage; but in most IN
stances the financial condition of the family
in which the death occurs is such that
liberal expenditure of money for carriages
cannot be made, and for like reason those
who desire to attend cannot hire their own
conveyances. This is poser to them; but
they have found way out OF it.
An old woman, who is queen OF the
class mentioned, has entered into the busl-
ness of supplyin carriages for the needy,
and at the same time makes 1t point 10
realize for her trouble. As soon as death
is announced she canvasses the neighbor-
hood and inquiries the number who want to
60 to the cemetery. Learning it, she di-
vides the number by five, and so determines
on the number of carriages to hire. On the
day of the funeral 81 per head is charged
all those who ride in the carriages, and 1t is
point never to allow one to pull out with
less than five or six occupants; and, as only
81 is paid the hveryman, the old lady has
profit OF from 81 to 81 on each carriage load.
"And," said the liveryman, 1--WE never
object to carrying that many in a carriage,
because she always pays cash down when
the order is given, and it is cheaper to carry
five for cash at low rates than three on long
time
