Porcelain and Fuel.


The proprietors of the large porcelain
factories at Limoges have been reducing
the price of fuel. They found the cost of
firing china in Bohemia was not more than
ten francs per ton; in England it was only
thirteen francs; while for the same thing
in France, ALimoges, the cost was be-
tween thirty-four and thirty-fve francs.
This difference being SO great and making
it impossible for the French manufacture
ers to make their china as cheaply as their
foreign neighbors, various devices have
been tried, but with little success The
coal employed is necessarily costly, as 6
smokeless, long flame variety is required
Many of the factories burn wood only.
One of the most progressive houses in
Limoges was induced TO employ petrole-
um or residuum oils as fuel, and the
results were far better than anticipated.
The heat was produced without smoke,
and the china came from the kiln whittier
than when it is fired with the best of
wood. 1t is estimated that by employ
ing these oils there will be reduction
of about fifteen or twenty per cent. in
the making of china in France. Pres
sure is being brought to bear on the gov
ernment to have fuel oils classified as
fuel, which pays only If. Soc. ton.

In Gambling With the English Aris-
tocracy.
[From a Letter in the New York Tribune.l
Rather queer illustration of the addic-
tion of an aristocracy, particularly of la
dies past the frivolities of youth, to "high
play"-vide Thackeray and other sharp
penned satirists of the time came to me
some years ago. 1t was at Trois Torrents,
a wee village in Switzerland, lying under
the shadow of the Dent du Midi, where
we intended to "stay over" one night, but
were shut in by a growing rain for the
better part of fortnight. The company
in the little hotel, though not large, was
very select, being, with the exception of
myself, made up wholly of women.
Among them were two sisters, daughters
of an earl, duke or something of that kind,
and known as fright honorable ladies'"
travelling with their companion maids, a
brellas. These ladies were greatly given
to 'tNapoleon"-not to the emperor of that
name, but to game. All the evening
through they sat and played. 1t was for
beans. And each bean represented CEN
time.
Had the ladies been of Boston it never
could have been that the sacred benn
should be thus condemned to stand for
but the tenth part of cent.
"Napoleon" seemed nice game as the
ladies played it. And as the beans came
from the kitchen and were returned to it
| at the end of the game, it occurred to me
that perhaps we here had an explanation
| of the noticeable gamy flavor of the fol-

view it might have been better had I car
ried my beans around with me, from hotel
to hotel, to be used as counters. But my
moral character might in that event have

And 1t was plain that at centime apiece
they came to more than they could be
bought for by the bushel.

This relates to o DR.. Belman. He was
playing whist one evening with a maiden
lady for partner. She trumped his best

asked her reason why. ooh, DR.. Belman
(smilingly), judged it judicious. "Judi-
cious! judiciousl judicious!l you old
fool!" She never again touched card.
Was it the same maiden lady who was the
strong believer in homeopathy, and who
one day took five globules of aconite in

Japan's emperor evidently doesn't be-

every man who provokes a duel or accepts

Woman is sometimes careless. Mrs.
Mary Wilde, of Dubuque, Iowa, decided
for highway purposes ten feet of her prop
erty, the consideration being 81. Recently
she sold her house and land, and found,
upon examining the deed giving the right
of way, that she had through clerical er-
rors, for which the city was responsible
primarily, conveyed all of her property to
the public for 81. According to its char
tor, the city cannot deed back or sell the
property to Mrs Wilde without submitting
the question to a popular vote.
Vermont will receive her share of the
direct tax being paid back to the States,
notwithstanding the claim set up that she
is indebted to the government for larger
sum on account of arms delivered to the

attorney general, and he decides that IN
der the circumstances it was the duty OF
the government to protect any of its terri
tory from invasion, and since Vermont
provided troops at great expense, the fail
ure of the State to return the arms car
constitute no claim against the payment o.

raise of 25 per cent. has also been ordered
on the valuation of merchants stock for
the preceding year. These commissioners
all belong to the Farmers alliance, and
their idea appears to be that the burden of
taxation should be lifted from the should

the merchant. The merchants will be

Germany's Fishery association, with its
seventeen thousand members, has grown
into an international affair. Three weeks
ago it made a compact at Coblenz with
the Dutch and Swiss associations that
hereafter the stocking of the Rhine, with
salmon should take place at the rivers
source rather than as heretofore at the
various places selected by the three ma
tional associations independently of each
other. The Elbe has been so carefully
stocked by the association that this year
1900 big salmon were taken at Hamburg.

CONSPIRACY TO SAVE MURDERER
Burglar Schmidt Says He Perjured Him
self in the jacobson Case.

SAN FRANCE co, Oct. 24.-On the night of Aug
ust l6, 1890, Samuel Jacobson, trunk manu-
facturer, was shot and killed at the door of his
residence by unknown persons Subsequently
Sidney Bell and Edward Campbell were arrested
for the crime and on May 2, last, Bell was con-
victed of murder in the first degree, Campbell
and one Charles Schmidt, who had been arrested
for burglary, being the chief witnesses against
him. Schmidt alleged that while confined in
the county Jail Bell had confessed the murder
to him. Schmidt was arraigned in the superior
court today on two charges of burglary
and District Attorney Barnes read two
lengthy communications from Schmidt where
in the latter claimed to be innocent
OF the charges and stated that he pleaded guilty
for reasons best known to the district attorney
He charged the district attorney with having
prompted him to give testimony against Bell on
the promise OF release and claimed that Camp
bell ooasted of his wife's influence with Judge
Murphy, before whom the case was tried, with
the district attorney and with the police officials
Schmidt accused Campbell of using fraudulent
means to secure Bells conviction and his own
release and declared he had good reasons to be-
lieve that Bell never committed the crime for
which he is to hang District Attorney Barnes
denounces Schmidps statements as false and as
part of the conspiracy to save Bells life. He
asked leave to file the communications as a part
of the courts records, but judge Trout denied
the motion, holding that the letters were scurri-
lous and irrelevant. Schmidt pleaded not guilty
to the charge OF burglary and the case went
over for a week.

Witness did not know whether Mrs. Searles ever
had independent legal advice before signing the
papers. There never was any direct agree
ment to drop the name OF searles from
the co-partncrship. 1t was done at the re-
quest of Mr. Searles. After Mrs. Searles'
death notice had been sent to certain corpora
lions that owned the stock formerly in the
name OF Mrs Searles. There never had been
any attempt at secrecy as to the copartnership.
