a MAGNIFICENT BUILDING.

The men who build buildings in Roa-
nolle to-day are public bcncfactors. In
another column the plans and details OF
the magnificent Terry building arc set
forth. 1t will be not only an ornament
10 the city. but undoubtedly the finest
business structure in Virginia. Will it
pay? Most unquestionably. Tenants
will nock to it in swarms. They will
demand admittancc before the walls are
dry.
If the floor plans should be exposed to
view every Office in the building could
be rented before the cornerstone is
laid. But that is the way with Roam
oke. The city is growing SO fast that it
has growing pains.

ONE MILLION FOX NICKEL.

The speed with which million dollar
appropriation was rushed through the
House yesterday for the purchase of
nickel for the manufacture of nickel
steel plates for the new cruisers bears
testimony TO the fact that another reyo-
luton in naval warfare has arrived of
scarcely less Importance than that made
by the Monitor when she demonstrated
the value of the revolving turret.
At the recent trials at Annapolis it
was demonstrated beyond question that
the CANNED compound plates, with
are protected, are absolutely worthless
against the most improved cannon.
-Four rounds from the sixinch gun sim
ply demolished the plate at which
the 1OO-pound projectiles were fired.
without damaging the projcctilcs to
any considerable extent.
The all-stecl plates did a little better.
They we're perforated, but the projec-
tiles were smashed to pieces, though
they penetrated 10 a depth of fifteen
inches.
The niclcl-stool came Oft first best
While the all-stecl was cracked in sev-
eral directions, the nickel plate though
showing ragged holes had no cracks
whatever. The nickel steel plate is the
product OF the Creuzot mills in Franco.
IL their manufacture is undertaken in
this country We VIII undoubtedly be able
TO make equally good ones
Certainly we ought, if there's any
thing in analogy. The steel guns made
at the Washington Navy Yard are the
finest in the world-demonstrably so.

THE TARIFF BILL IN CONFERENCE.

Late dispatches this morning indicate
that the Republican members Of the
tariff conference committee have got
together. The only question left open
is said to be as to the date when the law
shall go into effect. If it is true that
the period to be decided upon will be
brief, not over two weeks from the pas
sage of the bill, it will require close
financial sailing to save Wall street
from another money squeeze. But the
two houses may not stand by the con-
ference committee.
The agreement on sugar is to be as
follows: All sugar below No. 16 free, as
fixed by the House; above 10, dutiable
at Is cent per pound. The bounty to be
paid native producers will be applied to
only such sugars as grade above eighty
degrees polariscopc test. Between 80
and co. the bounty will be ~ cents Il
pound; above 90, . cents pound. Bind
er's Irvine will be made dutiable at APP
proximately Il of a cent per pound, but
is liable to vary slightly from this
figure.
the metal schedules will remain
about as fixed by the Senate, and give
little satisfaction to Pittsburg and other
sections engaged in the production of
high grade irons.
The country will feel relieved when
the bill is done with and becomes a law.
Those who are opposed to the law will
feel as man does whose aching tooth
has been pulled. and those who favor it
will rejoice that business may once
more settle into its accustomed chan
nels.

He Makes Queer Shoes and Knows How
to Charge for Them.
r There are ahoemakers and snoe-
makers In town, but about the most
unique among them all is the Chinese
cobbler who makes and mends soles
and Eppers for the business men Of
Chinatown.
Formerly most OF the shoes worn by
the Cinnamon came from China, or at
least from San Francisco Latterly,
however, local industry has been es-
tablished, and despite the fact that
many Cinnamon are falling into the
habit Of wearing the barbarous foot
gear of the Caucasian, it is fourishing.
To the average person the shoes worn
by the Chinese are very clumsy affairs.
John himself does not think SO, and he
backs up his opinions in good hard cash.
He has to pay pretty well, too, for, his
foot-gear. There are, of course. several
kinds Of foot-gear, of varying qualities
The shoemaker of Chinatown makes for
the humble employee In laundry shoe
with rather coarse cloth uppers The
sole is made Of heavy felt, carefully
sewed in layers until it becomes an inch
and more thick.
This he covers with a thick white sub
stance resembling paint, the merit of
| which is to be found in the fact that-it
repels water and makes the shoe look
quite spick and span for time. For
this shoe he charges from SO to So, On
other shoes leather soles are placed.
Leather is more used here than in China
for the making of these shoes, for leath-
er is scarce in the Flowery Kingdom,
and felt instead is used.
The rich merchants of Chinatown and
the dudes of whom there are not a few,
go in for some gaudy foot apparel some
times. The uppers of some of these
shoes are very loud indeed. They are of
the finest sort Of silk or of satin, and
embroidered in the best style known to
Chinese ingenuity. These shoes may
cost frem $l2 to SIS, and are not to be
seen every day. In comparison to the
prices charged for, shoes those asked by
| Chinese shoemakers for slippers are
very low. The latter are often novel;
ties in their way, being made of woven
straw or bamboo with fiat soles and

/ In front, between the woven straw or
bamboo, strips of different colored paper
are placed, giving rather peculiar and

however, that the commonplace Ameri-

Potato Growing.

A point in potato growing that am
fully settled on is that the best way. to
keep off the Colorado beetle is by hand
picking, says writer in the Ohio Farm
er. 1t is not only far less work, but
cheaper and surer. 1t is heavy work to
go over potato field with watering pots
and sprinkle the poisoned water over
the vines, and II heavy rain follows in
day or two the work must be done
over again; but il you begins soon enough
it takes but short time to go over an
acre and pick off all the old beetles, and
then you have no young ones. The time
to begin is just as soon as you can see to
follow the rows; perhaps not half the
potatoes are up, but don't wait for them
to come up; get the early bugs first.
You will have no trouble to see them,
and can get over an acre an hour II the
beetles are not too plenty. think we
got about quart to the sacre the first
time we went over ours. Go over them
every third day until you find that they
are so scarce that 1t does not pay. Or
dinarily three times going over them
will be sufficient but go ottener II me-
cessary. 1t would seem AS though we
might in time exterminate them. II we
would faithfully follow this plan. and
am encouraged by the fact that we only
picked about half as many to the acre
this year as we did last and that our
potatoes show very much fewer young
beetles this year than last
