An Hours Race on the Type
aiwriter--A Flower Festival.

giWriter-A Flower Festival.
The flower festival of the Stenog-
iraphers' Business association came to
"a happy termination yesterday evening.
There was large attendance of ladies
and gentlemen in the evening, and the
proceedings were of diversified char
.acter, and heartily enjoyable. The
.frivolities of the evening were inter-
lrupted by speed test on the type
writer. Six competitors entered; two
dropped out before the contest COM
menced. The test was Thorough
one being an hours work
ON the typewriter, the contestant
getting the highest number of words
correctly being the winner. Misspelled
words, etc., did not count. Figures
counted the same as words. The test
was one which the contestants them
selves agreed upon. 1t cannot be de-
-cIared fair one, as endurance has as
much to do with the test as the ability
to manipulate the typewriter. The re-
suit was, j. II. Bolton. 3,711; = Dye,
1929; H. S. Collins, 2,437; Mrs. Withee,

gold medal and Mr.. Dye obtained a sill
yer medal. The festival has replenished
the Golfers of the ASSOCIATION, and the
money is to be largely devoted in fur
nIshing the rooms of the organization
with a suitable library.

A Poor Little Victim.

About 10 o'clock yesterday morning
little Mary Wolfgruber, two years old
and daughter of stonemason at 271
Nugent street. wandered from home
and out upon the short line tracks at
Western avenue. A passenger train
struck her, cutting off one of her legs
and necessitating the amputation of the
other. The engineer made an effort to
stop upon sighting the child, but was
going at too great rate OF speed. The
little one was taken to the city hospital,
close at hand. Last night it was
thought by the hospital physician that
she had a chance for recovery.

/ Arthur r. Walker was yesterday
ordered to be discharged from the peni-
Tertiary at Saltwater by Judge Nelson
of the United States district court.
The application was made by District

Some time ago brutal murder was com
mitted at Matchtown, N J. Annie Leconey
was found in her uncle's house shockingly
slashed with some sharp instrument Frank
Lingo, negro of bad repute, was arrested
on suspicion and narrowly escaped lynching.
subsequently the girls uncle was arrested,
tried, and acquitted. Lingo was also hber-
ated, and the local newspapers federated
the community on "sparing an innocent
life" Now handsome Mrs. Annie Miller has
just been butchered in the same atrocious
way, and the evidences against Lingo is
overwhelming. Robbery was the motive
In both cases. There are enough
points of striking similarity in the
two crimes to identify the perpetra-
tors as one and the same person.
This seems to point to the conclusion that
Judge Lynch might have saved a precious
life by promptly executing his sentence in
the former instance Still the regular
process of law is best when exact Justice

stanley's Thrifty Relatives.

1t appears that Henry NJ Stanley is to be ac-
companied to America by divers members of
the family into which he has just married, says
the Chicago Ne,03 Toe talk is that Mrs. Ten
nant, the mother-iu-law, is a very superior
woman, and that she is in the habit of con duct
ing the temporal and spiritual affairs of all
around her. 1t was she who insisted that the
Stanley wedding should be solemnizsd in West
minister Abbey, and to her is the world in
debted for the unseemly splurge and display on
that occasion. The chances are that when
Stanley goes to Africa again he will stay there
longer than ever before. It is understood
that his wife viii accompany him
there but that the motber-in-law
will be left at home to pose and to
enjoy adulation as the absent explorers repre-
sentative plenpotentiary in the British metrop-
oils. Mrs. Stanley is smart woman-much
smarter than her husband. 1t is told of her
that she had her portrait painted by a London
artist last winter, aud then authorized him to
sell it. One day this artist sent Miss Tenant a
note saying that he had been offered so much
money for the portrait; could he sell it for so
much? Miss T9nnant answered: mo; double
the price and wait for a purchaser You'll
understand later on OF course when il he.

Henry NJ Stanley's flancee the price
demanded for the portrait was paid without a
murmur. IL may not always be the graceful
thing to do, but after all there's nothing so
profitable in worldly way as making hay while

Important Meeting of Iron Makers.

Important Meeting OF Iron Makers
This morning the international conven-
ton of iron aud steel manufacturers will
assemble in New York city. 1t Is by far
the most important gathering Of its kind
| held in this country for many years. II
Will be composed Of the American Institute
of Mining Engineers, the American Iron
and Steel Associate m, and the United
States Association of Charcoal Iron Work
ers, beside nearly 400 delegates from abroad,
representing England, France Germany,
Spain, Sweden, Norway and Scotland
Two sessions are to be held to-day and
three tomorrow, in which more than 900
men prominent and experienced in mining
and iron working will take part in the dis
cussiOn of questions of vital interest; aud
thirty-seven papers will be read. Wednes-
day. Thursday and Friday sessions of the
iron and steel institute viii be held, during
which twenty papers are to be read.
While they remain in America the visitors
are to be handsomely entertained by the
three above-named American organizations.
They have in hand SlOO.OO) for that pur-
pose, and say they could easily raise as much
more if necessary to the comfort or pleasure
of their guests
Much interest in the deliberations and
conclusions Of the convention is manifested
in Europe. aud the visitors will endeavor to
ascertain the causes which have within
few years placed the United States at the
head of the iron and steel producing nations
Of the world. Afterward they will spend
a month inspecting mines and iron works in
various parts Of the country, including
Lurey, Roanoke aud Cripple creek, Vir-
ginia, Middleboro, KY, Chattanooga,
Lookout Mountain and Knoxville, Tenn.
Admission, Shelby and Birmingham, Ala,
They will see much that is interesting and
instructive.
In recent paper Mr.. Edward Atkinson
shows that this country is the greatest CON
suDer of iron and steel in the world; and
he estimates that they can be made here
much cheaper than in Europe, owing to the
convenience of supplies of coal and ore,
the higher cost of
labor.
By careful calculations he shows that Bes.
semer iron can be produced in the south at
a cost not above $40 a ton, which will give
that product great advantage in the mar
ket and bring much wealth to the cities on
the Appalachian mineral chain, in view of
the anticipated great increase in demand.
As one of the greatest needs of the coun-
try to-day is a metal suitable for ship

necessary tests and experiments should be

And if the ores for that sort of metal are
to be had anywhere in this country they
