a UNIQUE ENTERPRISE.
Express Trains to Run Through the
Holy Land.
From the Nei0 YORK World.

From me Aeic oFf - ORD
Bosrox. Mass, Feb. I9.-The New Eng
land Land Company of Egypt is the para
doxieal name of a prospective syndicate,
the object OF which is the purchase OF house
OTIS in Port Said and Alexandria and the
building OF a 2O0-mile modern trunk line
from Port Said through to Damascus, IN
Arabia Petreas
Many wellknown Yankees are at the
head of this enterprise, chief of whom are
Gen. Butler. Frank Jones OF New Hamp-
shire, Gov GoOdell Of the same state, Sen
ator Frye Of Maine, and Joseph G. Palmer
of New Jersey, the latter being the treas
urer.
The tendency of British capitalists to
gobble up the best-paying American in
dustries is said to be one reason why
the projectors of the new scheme
have gone so far away from home
to invest their money. Another reason
is said to be the constantly increas-
ing travel from Europe into the Holy Lind,
the only means of reaching the interior Of
which is over the ancient highways con-
structed by the Romans The plan IS to
build the road through the mountainous
reglOnin Southern Palestine, running north
ward through the picturesque valley where
flows the Bible-famed river Jordan, and
thence on to Damascus.
It IS understood tnat Gen. Butler and
Frank Jones have recently taken up the
study of biblical history and Holy Land
topography, and have been powerfully i'm
pressed with the scenic, climatic and, posi-
bly,, the industrial advantages of this prac-
ally unknown region. They promise that
with their new railroad, equipped with steel
rails, elghty-tOn engines, vestibule cars and
eStlnghhouse air-brakes, the American
tourist OF the near future will have all the
modern improvements at his command.
Through Palestine by daylight" will at
tract globe-trotters, it is expected, from ev-
erywhere, and vertable crusade of for
eigners with pockets full of money will
arouse the modern Jerusalemites out of the
woeful lethargy with which they are now
surrounded.
The first stop of importance in Palestine
will be Hebron, after that Rama. and then
Bethlehem. After that Jerusalem, Jericho,
Nazareth, Gallilee and Damascus, on the
extreme east, and the trans
Palestine railroad will reach its
terminus. The possible development of the
enterprise is regarded as something i'm
mense, and the only thing necessary to
make the trip to the Holy Land and its
numerous historically-fame points of in
terest matter of a few hours ride in the
cars is the permission of the local govern
ment to build the road. That this permits
sion will be obtained is confidently expected
by the Yankee pioneers in this daring
scheme.
The land company at Port Said will be a
mere incident in the enterprise. With the
railroad running, the town of Port Said is
expected to take grand boom, and house
lots now bought for song will rub to triple
figures.
The articles of Incorporation of the land
company will be filed here within a short
time at the office of the secretary of state.

Profits on Lumber Saving.
From the Corde,e (Ga.l CoySe,eon


Lumber saving is getting to be one of
the most profitable kinds of business. All
the saw mill men are now full I'D on orders
and lumber is higher now than it has been
for years, and is advancing in price every
day. There are a dozen saw-nill men in
and around here who have made from one
to ten thousand dollars profit above all ex-
penses, within the last twelve months
Some Of them started a few years ago with
out a dollar, who are now worth from
seventy-tive to one hundred thousand dol
lars in clean cash.
Good timber readily sells for from IS to
IS per acre, and when sawed into lumber at
a cost of about $40 per acre will sell. readily
sell, for enough to bring $40 per acre.
There is no business in Georgia where
pluck, energy, enterprise and business
management will count for so much as
lumber saving.
Two young men just out of college came
to this section two years ago without any
experience in the business whatever. but
with plenty of pluck and go-aheadatiyeness.
bought timber and a saw-milL A few DAYS
ago they took stock and found that their
net profit in the business, over and above
all expenses of living, was about 81, 900.
People who own timbered lands are be-
ginning to appreciate their value and are
not now selling them for song. Still.
timbered lands are not so high but that
there is great profit in buyiag them. They
are likely to advance in the next two years
as far as they have in the last two, and
it win only be but a short while when
all good timbered land will bring $40
to SO per acre. There are so many lumber
brokers in Cordele now that it looks to an
outsider that the whole country has turned
to this section for its pine lumber. The
pine lumber here is pronounced by experts
to be the finest in the world. Our railroads
have not the facilities for handling the
Lumbar as fast as it is sawed.
Lumber saving is not only the most
lucrative business one can engage in, but it
is the most healthful. The mel who work
around saw mills are the very pictures of
health. The bal'ny breazes from the ferns
produce vigor and strength.

Missouri


Missouri.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Feb. 23.-When the
divorce suit OF Mary Mayer against Rudolph
Mayer was called In Judge Gibson's court
to-day there was no response and the case
was dismissed. Behind the suit is a curious
tale. The plaintiff was employed last
August to nurse the father of Rudolph
Mayer. The patient died Sept. l, and the
nurse told Rudolph, who was out of the
city when his fathers death occurred. that
his parents last wishes had been that they
get married. Married they were Sept
>. Ruiolph's brother told him that
he had been deceived-that the woman was
an impostor. Rudolph locked his bride up
in a room in the second story of his resi-
dence for two days, supplying her with food
through a window. During her incarcera-
tion he pursued Investigations, which salts
fed him that his brothers story was true
Then he turned her adrift. Mrs. MAYER
began suit for divorce. Not long siuce the
woman, who is an experienced nurse, was
called upon to attend an uncle of her hus-
band. A few hours before his death, two
weeks ago, this uncle, who made Rudolph
the beneficiary of his small estate, called
him to his bedside and made him promise
to take his wife back under his roof. Ru-
dolph then visited his wife's lawyers and
paid all the costs of the case. MAYER is a
commercial traveller for local cigar house.
He is about 80 years old. His wife is about
the same age. She came to this country
from Saxony six years ago.

TO MAKE STEEL FROM IRON ORE.
a Successful Process Discovered By
Pittsburg (Pa.) Man.

a Successful Process Discovered By g
Pittsburg (Pa) Man.
PITTsBURG. PA, Feb 23.-George R.
Wilson, a young man employed at the
American Iron Works, has patented direct
process for making steel from iron ore. The
invention has already been tested and has
proved most successful. Cast-iron of any
quality is melted in a common iron cupola
furnace and a given quantity is tapped with
an ordinary crane ladle, which is swung
around to the side of the converter. There
is a friedrich lining to the converter and a
conical covering, out of which an iron fun
mel opens. On the bottom are placed a
number of small cylindrical pots lined with
brick and fireclay.
Into the bottom Of one Of these pots is
placed given quantity of crude nitrate of
soda, the surface of which is Ieveled and
covered with circular perforated plate of
thick cast-iron. At the side of the cylinder
is hopper covered by a lOose-hinged flap
of boiler plate. This is raised ana a ladle
full of cast-iron is poured into the converter,
falling on top of the perforated plate. This
becomes gradually heated and a reac-
ton soon commences in the nitrate, result
ing in the development of brown nitrous
fumes. These are followed by blackish
gray and whltish fumes mixed with steam.
In five or six minutes defagration ensues.
The converter is then attached and the con-
tents of the pot consisting of crude steel
and of Stag, are emptied on the floor. The
steel can be used as it is, or again heated
and rolled into suitable sizes and shapes
The product YIELDS we'll, aud is excellent ma
