The nu.tIes. proee.. for Kettles.

The rustless process, which has been
until lately an experiment, has now
demonstrated that great economy can be
used, not only in iron pipes, but in every
article where iron is used. Over 2,0O0,-
900 kettles have been subjected to this
process in Pittsburg. The method is
very peculiar. After the article is made
it is put into a furnace made in an oval
shape, air tight. After the iron has at
tanned almost n white heat, the air that
comes through the regenerators and air
valves is shut securely off, and the fur
mace is made air tight. After the air
has been shut off the superheater, which
is located in the combination chamber at
the rear of the furnace, and at right an
giles from the air valves, is opened, and
the furnace is filled with steam and kept
in that condition for eight hours. At
short intervals a small valve is opened,
so as to allow the exodus of steam in the
furnace, allowing fresh steam TO be put
into it. When the articles have been
about ten hours in the furnace there
has been accomplished the formation of
magnetic oxide upon the iron surface.
They are then put into an acid well,
which is the last MISUNDERSTANDING.

Anecdote of RubInstein.

La Starina, a Russian paper, tells how
in Rubinstein's earlier days he narrowly
escaped being sent to Siberia. He played
before the Gar Nicholas in the house OF
Count Wielhorsky, and on returning
home lost his passport. A day or two
afterwards he was arrested and brought
before Gen. Galahoff, then chief Of
police, who informed the prisoner that
he declined to believe anybody's evid-
ence Of his identity. even that of the
count. Rubinstein persisted that he was
a mere musician, and as one of the sub
ordinate police officers knew something
about music the two were sent to try
matters over on n dilapidated piano.
The test proved satisfactory, and the
general, remarking that 1.-The prisoner
was apparently a musician" gave him a
permit for three weeks.

The popularity of cut glass for table
decoration is not a fad, but a growing
taste, the outcome of its increased beauty
in manufacture and design.
When you see a fashionable woman
peering over the cut glass counter, in
quiring for something in Partisan or
Henrietta or discussing the merits of
strawberry" "fan' or "diamond," you
may know she is after American glass
and prefers a particular cut.
While the inexperienced shopper sees
little difference in the similarly shaped

WHISKY AND SPECULATION.
They Make an Embezzler of a

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, March Co.
Postofice inspectors Seyboldt and
Irwin and Assistant Postmaster Carr

of the accounts of James S. Kennedy
Jr., foreign money order clerk of the
San Fran cisco postoffice, and that the
books show shortage of 66S money
orders, ranging in value from 81 to $500.
Inspector Seyboldt received dispatch
from the chief of the secret service of
New York city yesterday, inquiring
about money order issued in this city
Feb. 10 last, payable at London, Eng,
which was reported missing. In
spector Irwin was detailed to make
an examination of the records

that he was short $1,000 or $1,000. He
stated he had been drinking freely and

to United States Marshal Franks last
evening $4,000 in $40 gold pieces and
greenbackS were found concealed on his
person. Ae is said to have told Franks
the amounts embezZled would reach Sl2,-
600 or $4,000. Kennedy was appointed
clerk in the pOStoffice by eX-POstmaSter
Backus in 1888. Kennedy was taken
before the United States commissioner
this morning and his bonds placed at
$4,000. No date was set for the exam

is not known, though a close eXamina-
ton of his accounts is being made to-
day.

Beresford Alfred, Baron d'Este, and
his wife, nee Harvey, whose first huS-
band was the Viscount de Noue, are at

Frenchman by birth, an Italian by de-
scent, an Englishman through his
mother, and man of many countries
by virtue of travel.
In conversation with representative
of the Republican yesterday he said
that he had spent much of his life in
the British colonies. The baron is a

speaks English like an Englishman,
and does not look over forty years of
age, though he may be older. AS a

company with number OF friends,
went into the business of raising the
costly product on the Fiji islands. The
islands at that time were Inhabited
largely by cannibals.
1.-The sister Of my first wife, said the
baron yesterday, was shot down by
the natives, along with her husband

A Walking Pincushion.

Atlanta Journal.
There is in Georgia to-day Confed-
crate general who was literally shot full
of Plus during the late war. He was an
eXtemp0riZed pincushion, but the pins
saved his life. On one occasion the
general was lying in his tent at night.
The FederalS were near enough to
shoot into the camp. 1t is said he had
just finished letter home and had
thrown himself down for few
hours rest before the hot work
that would begin in the early
morning. when ping! Il MIME bullet
from sharpshooter's rifle sped through
the tent and struck the general III his
left side. The blow stunned him, and
he lay as dead for a few moments. When
he recovered consciousness lie was sur
priSed to find himself alive. He felt a
singing pain in his breast, and, tearing
open his shirt, found that the ball had
struck package of pins his wife had
given him, thinking they would be need
full in those days when there was no one
to sew and patch, and had driven every
one of them into his flesh. They had
saved his life, but he was walking

in numerous places and at several
points on the second floor. there are
holes large enough to allow man to
put his arm through. As soon as the
report of the inspectors was agreed upon
Commissioner De lfeuyter began max
ing preparations to raze the buildings.
The rear half Of the Becker block yet
standing will be pulled down first, and
it is believed that when it falls the
Sloan block will tumble also. Mayor
Sullivan sent for City Attorney Taylor
and instructed him to proceed at once
under the law and have all buildings
supposed to be
In Shaky Condition
inspected. Every building that Is UNI
safe, said the mayor, must come down.
Serve notice on the owners of such
properties, and if they do not tear
them down, we will do the work for
them. This slaughter of human lives
must cease, ana death traps must be
cleaned out. The city attorney is pre-
pairing the legal notices, and several
buildings will either be taken down or
made safe. The home of Henry Wood
ruff, the fireman whose body Is still
buried in the ruins, is the scene OF
heartrending spectacle. When the
widow was told of her husbands death,
she bore up braveiy, and her breaking
heart beat III sympathy for her sisters
in affection. She only asked that the
body be brought home instead of to the
morgue, that she might give it the last
offices of loving widow. Seating her
self beside window, she awaited the
arrival OF the mangled remains. All day
Tuesday she sat at the window gazing
eagerly down the street. The long
hours of the night she passed TT her
post, nor did she move the next day. AT
the rattle of every wagon, she started
and then in low mournful tones she
said: "Oh, why don't they come; will
they never bring him back to me? Oh,
God, why don't they bring him?" Kind
and Sympathic friends begged her to
rest, out she needed them not, and
brushing the glass wet from the dew
from her eyes. continued her vigils. 1t
was early this morning before she was
told that another building had fallen
over her husbands body and her an.
guSh, when the news was broken will

ent. Hers is not the frenzy of grief,
but it is the grief that breaks the heart

COLORADO SPRINGS, Col. March co.
For over year there has been bitter
war between the prohibition and the
prohibition element in this city.
The feeling was so bitter that two
months ago the residence of Mayor
Stockdridge, prohibitionist. was
burned to the ground. His loss was
$1,000, and it is rumored his political
enemies had hand in the matter. At
a meeting of the Republican and Lib
eral parties last night, Stockdridge was
nominated for mayor, and this morning
at 3 o'clock his new residence was fired
and burned to the ground. The loss
is $4,000. The American hotel, adjoin-
ing, was damaged $1,000.
