HE HAD A HARD HUNT FOR TITLES
Dickens Said TO Have Worked Long to
Find Names 10 Suit Him.


Till he had fixed upon his title, Charles
Dickens could not get seriously TO work.
He was in Genoa in 1874, and had
a Christmas story to write. Hehad never,
he said, so staggered upon the thresh-
old before. The subject was there, but
had not found a title for it, nor the
machinery TO work il with. sitting
down one morning resolute for work.
though against the grain. his hand
being out and everything inviting
to idleness, such peal of chimes arose
from the city as he found 'maddening. All
Genoa city lay beneath him, and up from
it, with some sudden set of the wind, came
in one fell sound the clang and clash OF
all its s;eepies. pouring into his ears
again and again, In q tuneless, graf
ing. discordant, Earring, hideous
vibration that made his IDEAS spin round
and round TIL they lost themselves in a
whirl Of Yexation and giddiness and
dropped down dead
a couple OF days later she wrote TO
Forster letter CT one sentence. 1--WE have
heard the chimes at midnight, Master
shallow" A few days later he writes
again: at is great thing to have my
title and see my way how TO work the bells.

MANUFACTURE OF SHEET TIN.
The Only Plant in America-Improved
Process.
Pittsburg Dispatch.

P;ttsburg Dispatch.
The only plant at which sheet tin is being
manufactured in North or South America
was recently put in operation at the United
States iron and plate works at Demmier
station, Third ward, Mckeesport The fact
that this country has for the last ten or
twelve years been paying nearly $50 1000, COO
annually to foreign countries. and that not
sheet of tin was being made on this con-
tinent, urged the firm, to make strenuous
efforts towards securing protective tariff
sufficiently high 10 enable them to compete
with the cheap labor of foreign manufac-
turing cities; their labors have been
crowned with partial success. as the clause
in the Mckinley bill protecting tin plate
has passed the House, and bids fair 10 pass
the Senate. II such action be taken, many
mills for manufacturing the product will
likely spring into existence.
in anticipation OF the measure becoming
law the firm has placed the plant in oper-
alton, and ii is understood that even IL tin
plate is not protected they will endeavor TO
continue the manufacture. They have put
in much improved process by Leyshon Il
Sons OF Upton, England. Skilled mechan-
les have personally superintendent the in
PRODUCTION OF the plant, which Is now in
successful operation. The process hereto
fo-e consisted of five operations, two dip
ping in grease and three in tin. BY the
new process the same results are obtained
iii one operation, by inserting sheet in a
solution OF tia and palm oil. The cost OF
manufacture is wonderfully eheapened and
the quality of the product Is said 10 be ex-
cellent either for sheet or turn work.
The greater part of the tin imported TO
this country comes from South Wales,
where the largest mills in the world are To-
Gated. There are mills in France, Italy,
Germany and Russia, but they make
scarcely more than IS used for home con-
SUMPTION. The import last year is esti-
mated al COCO coo boxes, and it is worth
about s. box. The United States works
made tin when the tariff was ON il, but
was compelled to quit some twelve years
ago. when il was removed

Americans Accept the English Standard,

The London Daily Ners is offended be-

vised its readers to avoid the vicious pro-

i'll this country at least, the English lam

In teaching the proper use of language,

the one whose practices are best. In in

are not rnes OF conduct laid down in

Americans generally accept the standard
of pronunciation OF living English scholars
IN preference TO others. When Canon Far
rar visited this country several years ago,
one of the chief charms of his lectures, to
Americans, was the purity ct his pronun-
citation. But, while Americans accept the
standard OF English scholars, they are
none the less impatient of the manner in
which the English masses speak their
mother tongue. Nowhere is The English
language so badly mutilated as in its own
tight little island, among the masses. The

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, July 31.-Speoial
dispatches from vnrious points in West
ern Kansas state that hot winds the pas
three days have literally ruined and re-
duced the already low condition of the
crop in that part of the state. The winds
have literally cooked the crops until many
fields will not yield a single ear. This
condition prevails along the Missouri
Pacific from. Coucordia to the western
boundary. East of Concordla for 100
miles the yield of corn may, under
favorable conditions, amount to or 10
per cent. of last years. crop. From this
point east to Atchison the crop will be 40
to so per cent. of last years yield if the
rainfall continues moderate. In the
dry spots of the state the hot winds have
also burned up the grass so that the yield
of hay will be very low.

DIPTHERIA EPIDEMIC.
Fishing Settlement on the Labrador Coast
In FrightfuI Condition.

FISHING Settl ement on tine IaDrRuof coast
in FrIghtfuI Condition.
BONNIE BAY, n. F., July 31.-A vio-
lent outbreak of diptheria has appeared
at Red Bay, fishing settlement on the
Labrador coast Fishing boats that
brought information left the settlement I
some days ago and the disease has since
then become epidemic. The population
numbers 500, and half of them were
down with the sickness in more or less
violent form. Many deaths have oc-
Cured, and the people who had so far
escaped were attending to the cases
of the stricken or to the burial
of the dead. In this condition of
things the disease was spreading
with the rapidity of plague. The little
village is in a shocking state in regard to
sanitation. The smell of rotteuing fish
in warm weather, of which there has
been q long spell, was overpowering.
The only scavengers are seagulls, and
there are no doctors along the entire
coast. The poor, ignorant people have
no disinfectauts or medicine, and are
ignorant of the use of them. They have
no idea of the absolute necessity of iso-
lation. The epidemic must have now
reached a stage beyond the efficacy of
even that mode of prevention. The only
hope is that the British war ships VIII go
to their rescue with disinfectants and
medicines.

PARIS. July 8l.-Considerable excitement pre-
walls in sporting circles over the alleged pull
ing of the horse Ryodants at Spa on Tuesday.
1t appears that only two horses started for the
Prix De Rallye in the Adennes steeple chase.
During the race Guiffier, Belgian horse, fell,
but his jockey succeeded III remounting and
winning. The other horse, Rhodante, belong
ing to Col. Einsten of New York and ridden by
Barker. an Anglo-French jockey, should have
won easily. but was apparent ''pulled'' to al
low her opponent to carry off the prize. Col.
Einstein was consul at Stuttgart for one term,
but was displaced by President Cleveland.
Since then he mas lived at Paris and is wellk known
on French race courses, where he has experienced
the usual varying fortunes OF the track. This
spring he invested in racing stable and took
for his colors the stars and stripes. The
stewards asked Jockey Barker for an explana-
ton OF the Rhodante affair, but the one he gave
was SO unsatisfactory that he was ruled off the
Belgian race course for two and one-half years,
while Rhodante was also disqualified. This
action will probably be extended to France.
Inquiry of the stewards regarding the owner has
not yet been concluded.

BANKS GAZING In.
Great Danger Imminent at New Orleans and
Other Points on the MississIppi-AlI
Efforts to Stop it Fails.

Special to the Gazette.
NEW ORLEANS, La, July 90.-Th g
cavIng in of the river banks in conse-
quence of the fall of the Mississippi river
after reaching the highest poin {
ever known, continues and
is becoming threatening at New
Orleans and other points. The cavIng is
caused by the river during high water
washing out under the banks, which does
not manifest itself, however, until the
water falls. Ugly eavings have occur
red at the foot of Second street in this
city, and eudangering the Illinois Gen.
trail tracks at the foot of Barracks and
HOspita, i threatening the garbage wharf
at the Second district levee on the west
bank of the river, carrying away the
pavement on Front street on it and
nearly reaching the dwellings at the foot
of Saraparie, Engpier, Seventh. Eighth
and other streets. Should it
contiI ue the damage will be
very great. So far it
seems impossible to stop it. Piles have
been driven in on the banks of the river
but have had no effect. The bank
cracks in sections of about ten by fifty
feet, falls into the river and is carried
away. Serious caving Is reported at
several other points on the Mississippi,
notably at Point Coupee, where it will
require the removal of the church of
st. Francis and number of houses on
the new road which are threatened with
being swallowed up by the river, and on
the AtchafalayR, where the caving
threatens to destroy important levees.
