How Gold Rings Are Made.

Gold rings are made from bars nine
to fifteen inches long, two inches wide
and thrce-siXteenths of an inch thick.
is worth $1,000, and will make 800
four pennyweight rings. a dozen
processes and twenty minutes time are
required to convert this bar into mer-
chantablc rings. First pair of shears
cuts the bar into strips; then by the
turn of 4 wheel Il guillotine-like blade
attached to the machine cuts the Dar
into slices, one, two, or three-siXteenths
of an inch wide. A rolling machine
next presses out the slices and makes
them either flat or grooyed. Each strip
is then put UNDER blow pipe and an
nealed. The oxide of copper comes to
the surface, and is put into L pickle OF
sulphuric acid, after which the ring IS
stamped '14k," "16k," or "1Sk," ac-
cording TO quality. Next it is put
through machine which bends it into
the shape of 4 ring Of the size desired.
The ends are then soldered with an
alloy of inferior tineness to the quality
of the ring. Many people think that
rings are nodded because they can't
see where they are soldered. The ring
spins through the turning lathe, Is
rounded, pared, and polished. first with
steel filings, then with tripoli and
rouge.-iI. Louis Republic.

street, in the very heart of the city OF
Dallas.
Domnar & ssnuels are jewelers., and
keep magnificent display Of costly goods
behind the plate glass of their large
show window. Within and without are
electric lights, and the neighborhood is
kept almost as light as day.
While Dir. Domnar was waiting On q
customer, he heard terrific crash of the
window, and turning bis eyes barely in
time to see tray of valuable diamond
rings disappear, he ran out ia an instant,
but the thief had disappeared up the
stairway at the side of his store. The
break was made with rock weighing
twenty pounds, wrapped in paper. The
tray contained foriy-two fac diamond
rings, valued at about $4,000.

4 Brave Girls Act.

There is one brave girl in Charlotte.
She is Miss Lula Smith, the pretty little
fourteen-year-old daughter OF Sheriff T..
S, Smith. At 5 O'Clock Monday after
noon bliss Lula was playing near the Jail
with some other children, When she
happened to see prisoner slide out Of
the jail through newly made hole in
the wall. The little Miss Knew that
would never do. so she ran quickly to
the side OF the Jail aad picked up big
stone. She began to pound a second
kloky head, poked nearly through the
hole, and in the act of escaping. Only
few licks were necessary to drive the
prisoner back. Standing by the hole on
the inside OF the Jail were dozen prison
ers ready to crawl through the hole and
escape, but the little woman stood guard
at tie outside, dareu them to poke out
their heads. She gave the alarm, and
soon her father was OF the scene and
the prisoners all locked up in their cells.
BY somo means or other the prisoners
had cut hole through the thick brick
wall, and had it not been for Miss
Lula wholesale delivery would have
resulted. The prisoner that succeeded
in getting away was a negro boy, N
for trifing ottense.

The Grady Monument.

Il has already been stated that the
plan OF Mr.. Alexander Doyle, New
York architect, has been adopted for
the monument of 81r. Henry W.
Grady in Atlanta. The Constitution says
Mr. Doyle's conception of the monu-
meut is a very beautiful one. 1t con-
sists CT square of granite surrounded
by low bslustrade, from the centre
of which rises an exquisi.ely proportion
ed pedestal, and on this elevation stands
a bronze figure of Mr.. Grady in one OF
his most natural attitudes. On one side
of the pedestal is a bronze figure of
History, inscribing on her tablets the
deeds Of the brilliant editor, on the op.
posite side is figure of the South,
weeping bitterly because of the loss
of a faVcrite son; the otEer two sides
of the pedestal bear only palm leaf
and wreath of immortelles, also
wrought in bronze, Mr. Doyle has had
more experience as q monumental artist
than almost any man Of his years ~
America. The Saratoga monumont,
which is considered one of the finest
works of art in the country, is the pro-
ductof his genius. The Jasper monu-
mest in Savannah and the Ben Hill
monumeutin Atlanta we're also designed
by him. Dir. Doyle was strong ad-
m;rer and warm personal friend OF
Mr.. Grady's, and bis present work will
receive his closest attention.

An Adieu After the Banquet.

a good story was told at the expense
OF Congressman Ashbel P. Fitch, of
New York
Not long ago he received an invita-
ton TO dine with the Hon. Herman
stump, of Maryland, at his residence
in Baltimore: The table was spread
with all the delicacies of the season
Rare wines were served and there was
plentiful supply of champagne. Many
OF the guests dined not wisely, but
TOO well. AS Fitch stood upon the
stoop, bidding his host good night, Mr..
Stump said:
go down carefully, Mr.. Fitch:
when you get to tho foot of the steps
yeu will see two cabs. Take the first
one. The other isn't there"

ALouisiana Plantation.

The crop was now q wonderful sight.
1t soon became necessary to put up

Us that the crop, when pulled, was

FOR LOVE OF HALVES.
Bessie Erright, Of Birmingham. Attempts
TO End Her Life.

TO End Her Life.
Later developments in the case Of
Bessie Inwright, the young woman who
tried to end her life Wednesday night,
in house on Third Avenue and Twen-
tieth street, by taking dose of NOR.
shine, develops the fact that she did so
through love of Dick Hawes.
Bessie, it appears, is the woman who
became so completely infatuated with
Hawes during his confinement in the
county Jail, and who was in the habit of
visiting him daily, much to the annoy
ance of the jailer, who was often called
upon TO admit her to him two or three
times day. The woman's frequent
visits to the jail attracted no little atten-
tion, but at the time very little was
said about them.
When the Supreme Court decided that
Hawes must hang and the death watch
was placed over him, Bessie was told
that her visits to the celebrated criminal
must cease. This information appeared
to overcome her and she burst into
tears, but finding her opportunities of no
avail, after repeated fruitless visits to
the Jail, she finally abandoned all hope
of seeing Hawes and took to sending
him afectioDate notes and handsome
bouquets.
rs the time fer HaHes' execution
drew near she grew morose and low
spirited, kept her room good deal of
of the time and was disinclined to talk TO
any one.
After the execution her grief was un-
bounded, but no fears were entertained
that she would attempt to take her life,
until she was discovered in her room
suffering from dose of morphine, and
by prompt medical aid was brought
back from the verge of the gra7e.-Bir-
mingham Age-Herald.
