Substitute for Ivory.

As manufacturers abroad claim that the supply of ivory is too small to meet the demands of industry and art, an ex- tensiye industry has arisen in France to supply an artificial substitute for natural ivory. Until recently the sub stitute used has been obtained by in- iecting white wool with chloride of lime, under strong pressure. Within short time, however, it has been estab- lished that q substitute may bo pre- pared with the bones ot sheep and waste Eieces of deer and kid skins The bones are for this purpose macerated and bleached for two weeks in chloride of lime. then heated by steam along with the skin SO as to form liquid mass, to which are added few hnndredths of alum; the mass is then filtered, dried in tho air. and oauaed to harden in bath Of alum, tho result he!ng whito. tough rlates, which ara moro easily wngket thaa assaFsl sgaEz -M ', EeagsA

DO WOMEN RUIN MEN7
A Charge Which. According to Feminine
 Writer Is Preposterous.

A Charge Which. According to a Feminine
 Writer, Is Preposterous.
 Women arc frequently accused of running their fathers and husbands by willful extrayagance, with an emphasis on the adjective. They probably do as- sist at their downfall, but from lack of understanding of the value and use of money. The idea of any normal repre- sentative lwoman being so malignant, or reckless, or ineonsiderate as to grati- fy her taste, love of adornment, or her sense of luxury, with any consciousness or suspicion of such result, is per posterous, especially when she is sup posed to esteem and love the man she deliberately undoes Such thing is so entirely foreign to her nature as to be beyond hypothesis. She would not be capable of it if she were totally indifferent to the man. Nothing but the densost selfishness or the deepest malice would furnish the motive for such an act, which is, as rule, incompatible with woman's nature or woman's methods.
 At any rate, is it not an exception when woman ruins man financially, or otherwise, indeed? He is very ready to proclaim himself ruined by her; he seems to think that the charge relieves him. He is so constantly the cause of her ruin that he is anxious to turn the tables on her. And to be ruined by woman sounds romantic, is calculated to excite pity and sympathy, to put him in the position of martyr. specially in the eyes of his own sex, Men almost always ruin themselves, in monetary sense particularly, but lack the courage to avow it. Their weakness destroys them, and they dislike to acknowledge weakness; they prefer to give it the name of some picturesque wickedness. Ladies Home Journal.

DENVER, Sept. 1.-THE republican

and ut 10 o'clock elected Alexander Gul.
lett, of Pueblo, as temporary chairman,
appointed q committee on credentials,
and took recess until o clock.
There is bitter factional fight in the
republican party of Colorado, one faction
being termed the "Gang" and the other
the Gang Smashers." The fortne,
have control of ths state and county
offices, and are making a strong fight ia
continue in power, while the other fac
ton are leaving no stone unturned to oust
them. The fight is so bitter in Arapa
hoe county that at the county conven.
tion, held here on Monday, the gang
bolted and held convention of their
own, and the result Is that the county
has u contested delegation before the
state convention. The same state of
affairs exist in several other counties.
This will make the work Of the commit.
tee on credentials very tedious and very
long. and it is probable that no ticket
will be nominated before Friday. Tenn
porary Chairman Gullett is In sympathy
with the gang" and there is no doubt
that that faction will control the conyen.

SEATTLE, WASH, Sept. 17.-Harlcy IL.
Prouty, n real estate man, was nrraigned
in Justice Rivers court this afternoon
on the charge OF assault and battery
upon his wife, Matte Prouty. The
woman stated that she had been married
not quite two years and that her hus .
bands continuous cruelty and brutality
dated from the first six months they
were married. She stated that this
morning her husband beat her with his
fists anu knocked her down stairs and
that he had many times threatened her
life. The testimony showed that Prouty
was insanely jealous ot his young and
pretty wife without cause.
When put on the stand he at first de-
MED and then admitted that his wife $
statement was true. When asked If he
meant to kill his wife when he threat
ened to- he said, with n horrible grim
ace, "Yes, l intended to shoot her and
then myself She deserves killing"
Prouty was no sooner found guilty
and fined 500 and costs than he was
served with another complaint charging
him with threatening to kill. Having
committed himself in the previous
charge, he could only plead guilty, and
the court placed him under bonds OF
81, 900 to keep the peace, and to insure
his appearance to answer the charge In
the superior court. The amount of the
bond angered the man and he said /;
THAT is not enough TO make me keep
the peace" The amount OF the bond
was Immediately raised to So 600, and he
went to jail in default.

Their Cleaning.

PORTLAND, Or, Sept. 1.-THE common
council tonight passed, under suspen-
sion of the rules, an ordinance more
stringent than the old one in regard to
distractions in the streets, and the
mayor signed 1t Immediately. The
council then elected the new officials
The ordinance entities the city inspector
to look after the streets and prevent
people from throwing rubbish and litter
in them. The city has fine street
cleaning department., equipped with
horse power brooms, but, owing to
people throwing litter from waste
baskets, etc., in the streets, they can hot
be kept clean. Since the control of the
police was taken from the council they
have utterly neglected to enforce the
ordinance in regard to distractions in
the streets, and at last the council have
determined to have n man to look after
the matter who is responsible to them.
