An Inquiry as to Factory for ALUMNI
mum.
KAoLlN ON THE ST. CRoIx.
Mayor Durant Has Report of Some
Remarkable Work in the
Woods.

Postmaster Mccarthy received yester
day from Charles E. Seymour, proprie-
tor of the Hurley, Wisconsin, Iron
Works and patentee of an ore concen-
traitor, letter in which the writer says
he is Informed that in or near Still.
water is an abandoned factory built for
the manufacture of aluminium. He de-
sires to be definitely informe as to the
tier. and adds that the process of
manufacturing aluminium cheaply has
been lost art, but that he has invented
a cheap and practical process which he
is prepared to put into operation. No
such factory was ever built in this
vicinity. and Mr.. Seymour's idea
of such building existing here
probably originated in the fact fact that
across the ST. CrolX, near the city, eX-
tensive beds of fine kaolin, the source
of aluminium, have been discovered, and
there has been heretofore plan
preached by which the kaolin might
be utilized. But the supposed necessary
great cost of extracting the metal alu-
minum was bar to any practical result
in this case. MIR. Seymour's inquiry
will receive full attention from public
spirited men of the city, and something
of material benefit to Saltwater is not
unlikely to follow.

WHIPS AND TIPS.
Gossip About Horses, Horsemen
and Their Doings,

Last year lis dashes of mile were
won over the various tracks in this
country In less time than :43. Five
years ago :43 was beaten in only TWEEN
ty-four races. OF the fast mile records
last year seven were made at Washing
ton Park and thirteen at West Side
Park, Chicago. Maori's 1:394-5 at Wash
ingtOn Park heads the list as the fastest
mile ever made in race.
This bit of advice was given by one of
the speakers at gathering of trOtting-
horse breeders the other day: "Many
stake has been won by inferior colts
because the owner of the better one
was timid, was afraid of being beaten.
In short. gentlemen, you must exhibit
more of what is called 'Sand.'"

STRETCHING FROM THE NUDE
A Peep Into the studio of a Chi.
cago Art Glass.

Chicago journal.
On platform raised about three feet
above the level of the floor stood what
appeared at the first glance to be mag
nificent model of woman in wax. One
hand rested lightly OH table, the other
on her hip. The figure was of robust
build and beautifully proportioned.
while the pose was graceful, easy and
as immovahly maintained as that of
statue. A faint wave of color mantling
the cheek was the only thing which
warned the reporter that this was no
triumph of the waX-worker's art, but in
reality living woman clad in nothing
beyond bushes and her native mOOeSty.
AS the Journal man made 4 tour of
the easels and efficiently compared the
different studies with the original, not
word was spoken, and the work went on
as uncOncernedly as if the living model
had been nothing more than one of the
plaster casts from which the young
women in the antique class were work
ing. AS for the model herself. after ole
furtive glance at the stranger. she again
fixed her eyes OH a point high above the
heads of the students and devoted all
her energies to the extremely difficult
task of standing perfectly still. This
relieved the newspaper man from his
natural embarrassment, and he was
able to critically examine the various
sketches.
The human figaro is one of the most
difficult things to draw, and perhaps for
this reason the sketches were not nearly
so uniformly good as the work had
been in the other rooms. At the
same time some of them were
vigorous, accurate and effective.
and one study in oil was a particularly
strong piece of work. A strange fact
noticed was that no matter how slight
an amount of work had been put on the
face, and Notwithstanding that the fig.
ure had been Sketched in every case,
thus reducing the head to small size,
every student had caught a likeness of
one of the most entirely unattractive
faces it was ever the reporters lot to
look at. Apart from head of magnifi-
cent blonde hair there was nothing
even interesting in the dull, cold feat
ures. The model was evidently quite
used to posing, the students treated the
matter as one entirely of business, and
after the first uncomfortable embarrass-
ment had passed away, even the re-
porter forgot the entirely uncOnven-
tional presence and made his notes with
even more sang froid than had been the
case in some of the other class-rooms.

are to ride. 1t was unquestionably
jockeyship which enabled Richmond to
get the place from Savanna in the Sub
urban of 1886. In 1884 DonOhue, CARR
son mot as celebrated then as now and
Hayward rode the placed horses. In 1885
Donohue and Fitzpatrick rode second
and third to Olney OH Pontiac. In 1886
Fitzpatrick, Mclaughlin and Higgs were
the first three. Mclaughlin and Garri-
son were on Ben Ali and Quito re-
spectively in the race of 1887, and both
were left at the post, Davis getting
away in front with EuruS and making
a runaway race of it in the mud, fol-
lowed by Mccarthy and Shaner on ORR
famine and Wickham. Martin, Kiley.
Garrison and Hayward were the first
four in 1888. and last year Garrison, Nc
Laughlin, Hamilton and Hayward were
the leading Quartette. 1t will thus be
seen that good jockeys are usually
prominent factors in the race. and that
in four out of six times it has been run
high-weighted animals have finished in
the first flight.

THE RUs>I4N SOLDIER.
characteristics Of the Muscovite
Defender of His Country.

Sincere AMI unaffected love for his
monarch, profound religious piety init
mately united with the idea of the car
and of the fatherland, attachment to
the fatherland. unlimited confidence in
his chiefs, very strong esprit de corps
and a faculty of enduring gayly nd
naturally the greatest privatiOns, these
are the most marked characteristics of
the Russian soldier. To these traits
must be added remarkable bravery and
rare contempt of death, combined with
naive kind heartedness and gentle
and indulgent disposition.
The Russian soldier is distinguished
by good humOr that never abandOnS
him. even in the most difficGlt moment.
by his brotherly understanding with his
comrades and by his gay and contented
way of facing all the DEGREES of fate.
Obedience is so deeply rooted in the
mind of the Russian soldier that during
my thirty years experience of the army
l do not remember to have witnessed
one single case of insuhOrdination.e either

The Russian soldier dies al his post.

step. l have seen him die of his wounds
Oh the battle field or in the hospital. at

village, and in these supreme moments
l have always fOuhd the Russian soldier
sublime.
Although child of the plain, where
his eye rarely describes the most modest
hill, we see him boldly scale the top
most summit of the Caucasus and climb
the rocks and glaciers of the Than
Shan, fighting all the time. He feels at
home everywhere. whether i'm the
steppes of the fatherland, in the tundras
of Siberia or the mountains or deserts
of Genital Asia. He has an exceptional
faculty of putting himself at his ease
wherever he may be. even in places
where others would die of hunger and
thirst.

A SECOND DANIEL.
The Right of Courtship Legal.
Vindicated nv a Jersey :Judpe.

The Right of Courtship Legally
INDICATED by Jersey Judge.
Philadelphia Record.
"All the world" says Emerson,
cloves lover" and is interested in
everything pertaining to his OF her well
fare. For this reason, if no other, the
case of Morgan VS.. Wilson, which
was decided last week by a right
eous judge at Newark. N. j., has ap-
pealed strongly to the public sympathy.
Mrs. Wilson. the landlady of the board
ing house, claimed from Miss Morgan,
bOarder, the sum of 81 for ''wear and
tear on household effects, caused by the
visits of her beau;" and, as the young
lady very properly refused to pay 1t, the
landlady seized her trunk.
A more fragrant outrage than this on
the inalienable rights of lovers could
not be imagined. The damage to the
furniture was slight at best. There
was a depression of some six inches
deep in the middle of the sofa. while
the springs were deplaced, and the car
pet in front of the sofa was worn into
holes.
Far be it from US to seek to penetrate
the mystery of that depression or those
holes. 1t is sufficient to say that such
conditions are not uncommon where the
young couples are accounting, and that
they are founded on a law as immuta-
bic as that of gravitatiOn. There are
certain things needed in courting-a
cosy room, sofa, minimum supply of
gas, and, on winter nights, maximum
supply of coal.
The knowledge that the dog is chained
up; that the girls little brother is not
In hiding under the sofa. and that the
old man has taken off his boots and in
cased his feet in slippers have also been
claimed to be aids to successful court
ship, although the highest authorities
on the subject have never gone SO far
as to hold that they are absolutely es-
sential. In the absence of a sofa, a
rocking chair has sometimes been
known to he sufficient for all purposes;
but it is tricky and has grain of malice
in its composition, and experts have
therefore generally given their prefer
| ence to the sofa.
The landlady't plea that 81 was little
enough for three months counting was
promptly met by the judge, who held
that the question at issue was not the
value of the counting, but the amount
of damage done to the furniture beyond
the ordinary wear and tear of three
months. There was no proof that Miss
Morgan or her frient caused the DAM
age, aud as Mrs. Wilson. when she re-
celved Miss Morgan as boarder, had
agreed to accord her all the rights of a
young lady, the right to be courted was
necessarily included, and the seizure of
the trunk was illegal and unjuStifable.
The decision. SO thoroughly based
upon right and equity. should go thun-
dering down the ages. Had the judge
been crusty old bachelor, ne might
have established precedent of the
most fatetul character. Instead of that
Miss Morgan has her trunk, and she
would be bold landlady indeed WHO
should attempt in future tn put sordid
and mercenary aspect upon the condi-
ton of carpet the holes in which may
be typical of true love and devotion.

Old LONG ISLAND.
Its Sandy Stretches Were Once a
Great Forest.

New York Star.
1t seems incredible that where Long
Island now presents to the Atlantic
ocean long stretch of sand and gravel,
and only little grass manages to pre-
serve poor existence. was once great
forest. 1t was broken here and there
be the fact. by all who have given the
thought any consideration. that all it's
coast was once woods. EX-AsSembly-
man Huntington, of Suffolk county, has
devoted considerable thought and study
to the matter, and thus expressed him
self about it the other day:
Before geology became as generally
known the people on the south side of
Long island were puzzled every time
there was heavy storm by the singular
debris which the waves threw upon the
shore. Sometimes it was great oak
boughs, and sometimes pine and hem
lock trunks. All were SO waterlogged
and rotten as to be perfectly valueless.
More frequently it consisted of huge
masses Of peat and Ignite. or moldy
blocks, which were really compressed
leaves. In very calm weather. when the
ocean was like mirror, fishermen an
yachtsmen have noticed what seemed to
be an extinct forest and marsh below the
surface of the sea. These have been seen
as far east as Amityville. and as far
west as Rockaway, at depths varying
from two to four fathoms. Anchors
and sounding-lines have brought up the
same kind of matter at fifteen and
twenty fathoms. Similar objects were
encountered in sinking wells and bor-
ing artesians all along the south side.
Drs. Newbury and Rogers first investi-
gated the subject, and pronounced it a
case of subsistence of the land. They
said that in some period in the far-off
past Long Island was much higher,
wider and probably longer than it is at
the present. During this period the eli
mate was warmer than now, and
probably was like that which now pre-
walls in the state of Georgia. From
RockaTay to Montauk reached very
dense forest, broken everywhere by
swamps whose luxuriant vegetation
must have resembled the Dismal swamp
of Virginia or the everglades of Florida.
It's width varied from few yards to
twenty or twenty-five miles. Then the
land sank beneath the sea, and the
waves piled up the sand until wood and
marsh bad disappeared. 1t is all inter-
esting fact, and it contains an interest
ing suggestion. Surprising Long Island
should do the same thing again and sink
seventy feet, where would Manhattan
Island be?''

"Dutch-Treat" 1heater Parties.

Chicago Times.
The theater party. which for some
reason fell into sort of semi-decline
towards the end of last winter, Is being

A miraculous snake.stone.

Pittsburg DISPATCH.
Some time ago Joseph j. Speck. of
Kansas City, learned of the existence
of a certain alleged miraculous stone,
found In Southern India, which would
heal wounds of all kinds, particularly
snake and dog bites. and any sore from
which hydrophobia or lockjaw might
result. To learn more of the wonder
full curative powers of the stone Mr..
Speck addressed letter to native of
Bombay. The Hindoo replied that the
stone is supposed to be found in SER
pent's head, and is rarer and more val
liable than the most costly gem. The
Hindoos and the wild savage natives
place great faith in It's power. and guard
