razor strap is the human hand or arm.
If razor is in fairly good condition and
not in need of the oil stone il may soon

To say nothing of the economical
side Of it. If you cut your strap it
will heal up of itself. 1t may hurt,
but then think how much cheaper
it is than buying new strop. We
want it understood, however. that
somebody else is to furnish the arm.

CAPTURED AT LAST,
Murderer Willett, of California, Arrested
After Many Years of Immunity.

Murderer Willett, of California, Arrested
After Many Years of Immunity.
Los ANGELES, October 9.-After enjoy
ing the fruits of his crime for II years
and living an honest life, Nathan
Willett was arrested yesterday at his
ranch near here and taken back to
Texas to answer the charge of murder.
Willett was plowing in the field when the
sheriff and his deputy drove up, jumped the
fence and showed him the warrant. He
hesitated a moment, eyed the two officers
keenly and at last said: "All right; I'll
CO." and climbed into the wagon. His wife
and children did not know ne had gone.
Willett was arrested for having killed b.
B. Woodward, on December 2, 1872, in An
derson county, Tex, in cold blood and for
pay. The story told by Willett is that years
ago he killed q man IN Western Texas and
fled to Anderson county. While there he
became acquainted with Woodward and
also with another man who loved the same
woman Woodward loved, and was jealous of
him. This man offered Willett a large sum
of money to kill Woodward. Willett had
no friends, wanted to get away, and was
fearful of being arrested for the other
murder. and accepted the proposition. He
carried it out and made his escape and came
to Southern California, where he has lived
since. Sheriff Bixby got his pointer from
Willett's brothcr-in-law. He says there
are living witnesses to the murder. Will
ett's ranch is worth $50, 900.

The Veteran Meta1lurgist Gives a Breezy
Account of His Invention-How 1t Was
Graded, and How 1t Grew to Its Present
Proportions.
At the conclusion of his address, Sir
James Kitson read long and interesting let
terfrom the veteran metallurgist, Sir Henry
Bessemer. Following is an EXCERPT:
1t is with great pleasure that accele to your
request to furnish you with brief outline of
the circumstances which led to the invention of
my steel process. At the time of the Crimean
War had invented mode of firing elongated
projectiles from smooth-bore gun, the rota-
ton necessary to insure their proper position
during fight being obtained by utilizing por.
tion of the powder gas to produce rotation by
reaction, after the manner of producing rota-
tion in turbines, and not by the rifiing of the
gun, conseq uently rendering all smooth-bo
guns at once suitable for firing elongated shot
or shell. OF course offered this plan to our
own Government, but it was discarded without
a trial.
A little after this period happened to be on
a visit for week or two with Lord James Hay
at the house of his daughter in Paris. During
this Visit our most gave farewell dinner to
General Hamlin and several other distinguished
officers in the French army who were going out
to the Crimea.
Among the guests on this occasion was
Prince Napoleon, and while taking cigar in
the library after dinner, the conversation
turned naturally enough on artillery, and then
mentioned my system of firing elongated pro-
jectiles from smoothbOre guns. The Prince
was so impressed with the importance of this
idea that be said he was sure that his cousin.
the Emperor, would be much pleased If would
explain my invention to him. and that he would
get an appointment made with the Emperor for
this purpose. This was done, and had a long
and most interesting discussion with his

BAD ERROR IN M'KINLEYs BILL.
Tobacco Manufacturers May Have to Pay
Too Much Tax.

Tobacco Manufacturers May Have to Pay
Too Much Tax.
CHICAGO, October s.-An afternoon paper
says the internal revenue department here
has received information of a clerical error
in the Mckinley bill, recently passed, that
may mean difference of several hundred
thousand dollars to the tobacco manufac-
turers and dealers of this district alone.
The old tax on tobacco was s cents pound,
and the new bill provides for its reduction
to cents. The bill as presented to Con-
gress and passed by that body provided that
on all manufactured tobacco on hand at the
time of its passage the reduction would be
allowed, giving rebate of 2 cents on the
pound. 1t is reported, however, that the
clerk who prepared the bill for sending to
the President. omitted the clause providing
for the rebate and that the measure was en-
crossed and recorded without the error
being noticed.
''In this district" said Deputor Collector
Landergren this morning, there are at
least from 10, OOO, 900 to 10, 900, 900 pounds of
manufactured tobacco on hand at the time
of the bills passage. If the error removes
the rebate, from 5000, 900 to $500, 900 more
money can be collected from the manufac-
turers OF this district"

AN ADVANCE IN SHOES.

Local Dealers Receive Notice of an In
crease in the Manufacturers Price.
The local shoe dealers have received
notice from the manufacturers Of an ad-
vance In the price of shoes. The increase
ranges from IA cents, on cheaper grades, to
% cents per pair. This will not greatly
effect Pittsburg for the present, as the
dealers mostly have large stocks on hand,
and will not be compelled to purchase until
spring.
The cause of the advance in price is the
fact that leather has become scarce and that
has raised its cost. Other shoe findings
have advanced also, and this adds its little
mite to the increase. Another reason given
is the fact that shoemakers are thoroughly
organized and advance the scale of prices
almost every season.

am myself no lover of armor. AS q men,
ber of a great and peaceful trading CON-

fighting value of armed mercantile ships. I
dislike also that which reduces the available
number by increasing the individual cost of
ships Of war.
There is. I think, no such necessary and vital
distinction between the man.of-war and the
properly armed and protected State auxiliary
Of high speed as would justify the neglect OF
such auxilaries for maritime warfare. One
must admit that at present there are very great
differences between them in fighting value,

abandon the use of armor. We may rather

DIR FRrIT ENEMIES.
A History Of Their WOrkings,and Means
Of Fighting Them Suggested
by Col. Narney.


The Dallas Daily Observer man
has been among some of the Polk
county orchards with Col. Narney,
and gives the following pointers on
the fruit pests, their habits and how
to get rid of them:
"The Goblin Moth, at full age, Is
what is commonly called a small
"miller." She lays her egg upon the
fruit, the egg matches, begins its
work and in very few days has d.
veloped into a nasty looking worm,
destroyed the apple upon which It
hes been at work, leayes this and
rolls itself up in a cocoon from
which it develops into the moth in
a short space of time and thus car
ries on its destructive work, produc-
ing several crops in one season;
and if we consider that one moth
deposits one hundred eggs it does
not take us long to consider the eN-
tent of the destruction wrought by
these insects. The greatest enemy
to the trees is the Woolly Aphis.
This does not work upon the fruit
but attacks the tree at all points
from the roots up, and wherever il
has been at work its deadly effect Is
easily discovered. Look at your
trees: you will find scattered
throughout them a substance re-
sembliug fine wool; examine this
closely and you will find it to be a
mass of nits that in a short time will
hatch out myriads of living insects
capable of doing hundreds of dollars
worth of damage to our fruit inter-
ests. There are also other pests,
such as the pear and cherry tree
slug.
But this is easily vanquished by
throwing dust or ashes INTO
the tree upon which they are mt
work. To exterminate the Moth
and Aphis, inspector Narney gives a
receipt that is not expensive, but
which if persistently applied for a
time will rid the country Of these
pests. For the moth, spray the
trees with London purple or Paris
green, using one pound to $50 gall
Ions of water. For destruction Of
the Aphis, take four pounds Of
rosin; three pounds of sal soda;
water to make thirty-siX pints. Dis
solve the sal soda in 4 few pints Of
water. When thoroughly dissolved,
add the rosin Heat until dissolved,
and add water finally. Use one and
oue-half piuts of solution to the gall
on ofwater. Use at n temperature
