AN ImPoRrANr CONSIDERATION.

The National ProUisiOner, which rep
resents in large measure the canned
goods trades of the United States, con-
tributs the following statement to the
tin-plate controversy, which will be Of
vital interest to the American consumer
of canned goods:
The point of quality is very essential
one. If can be made of the best tin, per-
fectly coated and thereby free from the
danger of rust and deterioration, the meat,
or other contents, is preserved in perfect
state, and the salt, saltpetre and other in
gradients used in the method OF preserving,
have no chance to form chemical combi-
nation with the iron, which is the underly-
ing material in tin-plate. If, however, the
American tin-plate, in order TO compete
with the imported goods, had to be maze
inferior, poorly coated, or otherwise, a
great danger would threaten the packers
and canning factories using this article on
account of the danger which must arise TO
the health of consumers Of special canned
goods.
A frst-class grade and quality Of tin
certainly can not be turned out except
by competent workmen, men Of expert
ence, who understand their business.
Mr.. NEIDRINGHAUs has stated that he
has yet been unable to procure any, al
though he has offered double wages.
Hence the canning factories and the
American consumer of canned goods
would do well to fight shy of the Ameri-
can tin can till such time as the Ameri-
can tin-plate manufacturer can turn ii
out made by competent workmen or by
the foreign labor Mr.. NEIDRISGHAUs
is after to take the places Of his strikers.
tits doubtless q good thing that no more
American tin is turned out than Is suf.
fcient to go round among the Mckinley
marching clubs.

Rut he Suddenly Became a Hero "
stopping Train.
HAMILTON. O., august IA Tramp
Door vagabond, was walking along 'no
Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton rai'
road track, several miles north OF DAY
ton. Yesterday afternoon. While ie'S-
urely tramping along in the oroliine
sun. in all probability counting the 'leS
and despairingly observing the 'ele-
graph poles as they slowly passed 10 his
rear, and wondering when, "hole
and how he would get his next
meal. his attention was suddenly az
tracted to one of the rails OF the track
which was displaced from its proper
position fully six inches. Removing ms
dilapidated coat from his weary PACK no
stood in the middle OF the track WIN
the sun pouring down on his shirtless
body. After thus patiently waiting LOT
an hour or more the Toledo express
south bound, due here at 4:l5 p. M,
came in sight. The tramp wildly waVeu
q coat over his head and made many
motions to arrest the approaching ex-
press, which was flying at lightning
speed.
At first the engineer thought it was a
ruse of the ''all-day" pedestrian TO stop
the train that he might get on, but as
the latter so persistently waved some,
thing over his head and jumped up ana
down and then ran across the track, he
finally reluctantly decided to apply the
air-brakes, which action averted what
might have been very serious accident.
The train only came to dead stand
still within a few feet OF the fatal spot.
The sudden stopping Of the train caused
all the passengers to leave the train at
once. When the truth was made known
the poor tramp found himself surround
ed by an admiring crowd Of fifty people
or more. The passengers took him
aboard the train, gave him seat in the
chair car, and he reached his destina-
ton, Cincinnati, like gentleman, and
was hero for once I'm his life. The
presence of the tramp at that particu-
lar point along the track was most OPP
perfume.

Last night about IL o'clock a man
made complaint to the Island police that
while he was passing out OF the Fair
Grounds, escorting young lady, a
crowd of seven fellows suddenly seized
the girl and took her away.
1t was afterward learned that the
crowd that seized the girl had
lead her to the other end OF the grounds
where the stalls are located, broke of a
board and took the girl out on the back
river in a skiff. Some small articles OF
wearing apparel belonging to the girl
were found along the track. The Off
GERS instituted thorough search, but
were unable to find the kidnappers.

WASHINGTON, August 13.-The Navy
Department has received report from
Rear Admiral George Brown, command
er of the Pacific station. The report Is
dated Coquimbo, Chilli, July 8, and after
noting the arrival at that place OF his
flagship, the San Francisco, on June 2s,
says:
ION June IS Rear Admiral Mccain
left Iauique for Callao, Peru. in the Bal
timore. Since that date l have visited
africa, Pisagua, Antofagasta and Cal

found the Congressionalists or lnsur-
gents in quiet possession OF the civil

vessels are loading nitrates as rapidly
as If no war existed, and the insurgents
are collecting the export duties on the
same. At Pisagua there wore two
American Barks and one schooner, and
at Antofagasta one American bark.
about two weeks before my visit to
Pisagua the aforementioned vessels
Condell and Lynch, and the armed
transport, Imperial, had, without any
previous notice, bombarded the city.
They fired So shells into the city, but
did no serious damage to property, and
no one on shore was even wounded. The
same vessels appeared off Iquique and
began firing at the city, but at such q
long range that no projectile reached
the shore or could be seen to strike the
water, although great many shot:
were fired. The insurgent ships got I'M
der way and went out at full speed, bu'
the Government ships, by their superior
speed, did not allow the insurgents Il
get within range OF them.

are mainly concentrated at Iquique
where there are about 5000 men, wei
armed. Their aggregate force at all thu
ports held by them number about 5000

teachers art are of much interest even
to outsiders and of incalculable benefit
to those participating in them and to
those listening to them. 1t matters
not how proficient teacher may be,
he, or she, is bound to benefit, by an
exchange Of ideas with fellow teachers,
in a broadening of the mind in an &C
Quaintance with the experiences and
difficulties of other teachers.
To the young pedagogue the value of
the Teachers Institute is little short
Of that of the Normal school just
left behind, being in fact but a
higher course in the teachers
training-and course that is not limit
ed in time, or range. There the young
educator can have the aid of older and
more experienced minds in solving the
thousand and one problems and over
coming the obstacles met In the class
room, knowledge which would other
wise come only through hard experience.
There, also, he, or she, will receive the
intellectual polish that mustresult from
such intercourse and companionship.
Long live the Teachers Institute, and
may it grow and prosper in every coun-
ty in the State.

Nails Way Down.

Wednesdays Pittsburgh Dispatch, In
commenting on the price of builders
hardware, said: 'Prices, which were
thought to be at the bottom year ago,
are shade lower than then. 1t is
doubtful il Ia the entire history OF the
nail trade prices have been as low as
they are this summer. The jobbing
price of cut nails is SITS per keg, and
wire nails S2.1O. AT S1.75 per
keg 1t Is difficult to see where
there is any profit to the manu-
facturer. The Wheeling nail mills are
furnishing stock to jobbers on basis OF
ST. 5 per keg. The steel which enters
into keg Of nails is worth S1.35. and
the cost of cutting into nails, packing,
ETC., is fully so cents per keg, so that
there is more profit in selling the steel
than there is in working it up into
nails. In the face of this depression In
the trade one of Wheeling's mills has
recently increased its capacity to 1000,
600 kegs year, capacity beyond thai
of any plant in this or any Other
country"
