How many women know that there is one
little tell-tale in her drawing room that will
number her years as accurately as the fam
lily Bible? Let her light the gas in the
upper chandeliers and standing directly
under it, look into the mirror. She will
see every sharp line in her face accentuated,
every hollow in. her cheeks, every line
under her eyes craven deeper. The un-
shaded light from the chandelier falling di-
rectly on her face is what does it.
Not long ago an ingenious woman put the
the globes in her drawing room in what she
called 'petticoats" of pale pink silk and
saw ten years slip away as she stood
under them for the first trial. Sew

It has been said OF Minister Egan
that his interests in nitrate specula-
ton in Chile stood in the way OF an inn
partial performance Of his duties as the
representative of the United States in
that country; that he has been the par
tisan Of Balmaceda; and that he has
made himself SO obnoxious to the Con-
gressional party that in the accession
Of that party to power Mr.. Egan would
not be tolerated as our representative.
There never has been anything to
chow that Mr.. Egan has been engaged
in nitrate speculation. All the infor-
nation that reached this country con-
corning Mr.. Egan represented him as
the partisanof Balmaceda, and it was UNI
derstood in Washington that Mr.. Egan's
dispatches to the State Department
were gross Misrepresentation Of the
situation to the prejudice of the men
who we're trying to maintain constitu-
tional government against the wiles and
armed violence OF dictator. On the
strength of this understanding of the
matter the representatives of the Con-
eressionalists denounced the part Mr..
Egan had played as q supporter Of Bal
maceda.
The New York Herald, whose dis
patches from Chile have given the ear
lest and only accurate early news
We have had from Chile, has taken the
first opportunity to have Mr.. Egan's
case looked into on the spot. The nj
trate speculation is easily disposed Of,
because 1t had no existence. The Her
aid correspondent finds that Mr.. Egan,
instead of hing the partisan Of Bal
maceda, SO conducted himself through
the trying ordeal as to win the regard
OF both sides. He interposed to save
the lives of men whom Balmaceda
would have shot. The men now at the
head Of affairs are well satisfied with
Mr.. Esan, and thereisno demand for his
recall. Mr.. Egan says for himself that
he would be glad to have published all
the dispatches he has sent to the State
Department.
It was the misfortune OF Mr.. Egan
that at a critical moment he was cut of
from communication with Washington
by reason of theisolation Of the Chilean
capital; and, further, that in this coun-
try there was only misinformation con-
corning his attitude. supposing the
Heralds advices on this subject to be as
accurate as its other news from Chile
has been, the popular Judgment against
Mr.. Egan must be reversed.
A man who does his duty is not to
be condemned, however appearances
based on lack Conformation and mis-
information may have been against
him. Mr.. Egan seems to deserve COM
mendation for his courage and quick up.

Good Talking at 0IonndsvtIIe.


Rain kept many persons away from
Mr.. Horr's Moundsvillc meeting, but
no amount Of rain could keep Mr.. Horr
from making good speech. The talk
was on tariff and money, principally
tariff, and an entertaining, lucid and in
structive talk 1t was.
Mr.. Horr speaks the English language
SO that there is no need to translate it
for an English speaking audience. He
calls things by their ordinary names
and illustrates theories with solid facts.
It gives him special pleasure to send a
culver Of fact through a mountain OF
free trade theory and demolish tho
whole business. Nobody who listened
to him on Saturday could have failed TO
understand just what protective tariff
is, what it aims to do, what 1t has done
and what it is doing.
When Mr.. Horr came to talk about
an honest dollar he made entirely
clear the distinction between that and
the bogus dollar which the farmers are
urged to ask for when they go to the
polls. If any farmer wants that sort of
dollar for his products he knows where
to apply for it. He will not get it from
the Republican party. which Is not re-
sponsible for issuing a dollar that is
not accepted to-day at one hundred
cents

LITTLE FEAR OF NIGH PRICES.

There is little apprehension Of tinware
costing very much more than it does at
present, in the minds OF men who look
ed ut the matter withoutbias. Twenty
inch and 14.inch plates, a standard size,
sold sol last wear for $3.50 per box. The
same grade of timed plate is being
made in this city to-day at a cost of less
than $3.50 per box. The profits in tin
ned plate are large. Twenty-eight-inch
and 3O.inch terne plates, used for roof
ing, cooking utensils, lining bath tubs,
ETC., are being sold for Sl4 per box OF
100 pounds, and have been sold at this
prize for years. The cost of this size
plate is $6.l0 per box, and since the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company has
beon paying this price before the Nc
Kinley act was formed, the difference
between cost and selling price cannot
be laid at the door Of tho tariff.

In nothing has natural gas cut a
more important figure than in the
manufacture of glass. 1t proved to be
the ideal fuel for that industry, so much
so that the glass houses that we've
without it foun themselves at serious
disadvantage. The gas towns, in their
effort to build themselves up, offered
what at the time seemed to be liberal
inducements, and very soon the estab-
lished concerns found themselves con-
fronted by sharp and growing compe-
tition.
Probably nothing has contributed
more to the formation Of the Uni
ted States Glass Company which
includes sixteen of the leading
leading concerns in the trade. Natural
gas has demoralized the glass business,
and now the price is SO high in the
Ohio Valley that the glass houses re-
gard it as very nearly forbidden fuel.
At Homestead, Tarentum and Brad
dock a gus furnace is being introduced
which is said to yield highly satisfactory
results. With coal at three cents a
bushel the fuel saving on a thirteen
pot furnace Is estimated at $500 a
month. The contrivance is the patent-
ed invention OF NJ. L. Murphy.
With such an economy Of fuel, the
glass houses situated near good supply
Of coal, as those Of Wheeling are,
would regain the ground lost through
natural gas at early boom town rates.

THE TARIFF ON TIN

Has Not Put Up the Price OF Fruit Cans
j. some Figlrea that Don't Lie.
Piiis6aSgh Sp'day DispaieA.
The increased duty on timed plate
has been in force now for two months,
and yet tin cans have not become arti-
cles of luxury. Neither have they been
raised from a lowly position without
the kitchen door to position OF ease
and importance in the front parlor. Tin
utensils form ms necessary an integral
part OF the domestic economy us they
did twelve months ago, and, despite the
efforts Of Mckinley TO make them SO,
they have not become SO costly as to
make their purchase matter OF grave
consideration.
An illustration Of how the Mckinley
tariff on timed plate has not sent up
the cost OF tinware is afforded in the
case Of fruit cans. The trade in these
cans has been very large this year, due
to the fullness OF the crops, and yet the
selling price this year is only as much
above last years as was warranted by
an unusually brisk demand. The price
of timed fruit cans last year was 81 %
per gross; the price to-day is from 50
10 IS 80 per gross. This is the price o!
the wholesalers for cans made out OF
American timed plate.
NO INCREASE PROM THE TARIFF
These cans are being sold by the job
beers at exactly cents dozen above
the prices of twelve months ago. AS a
matter OF fact, the duty of 2-10 per
pound has not increased the cost OF
these cans to the consumer in the slight
est degree. The increase in price over
lust years prices is due, as already
stated, to briskness in business and I'M
usual demand. Ii this is doubted, it is
only necessary to take the case OF glass
fruit Jars, the price OF which would be
affected in the same manner as the
timed fruit cans. The glass fruit jars
are not subject to q heavy import, and
yet, while Mason's quart fruit jars last
year sold for 81, this season the price
has jumped to 81. The glass jars, not
affected by abe tariff, have become more
costly than the timed fruit cans paying
heavy duty.
How has the duty on TIN plate
affected the retail price Of tinware?,.
was asked Mr. Henry Demmler, OF
Smithfeld street, yesterday. -,
"Not to any appreclable extent" he
replied. "The price is very little
higher than last year before the duty
was imposed. But then timed plate
had sustained rise owing to the pros
pective tariff. The increase in the cost
OF tinware is rs much due to the in
crease in labor rs to anything else. Tin
makers last year were paid 8 % for ten
hours work they are now getting 81 %
for nine hours. Quite a proportion OF
our tinware is made from American
timed plate. We think it superior to
the foreign because there is less acid in
it, being treated differently. In place
OF tinware becoming dearer, we fear 1t
may get cheaper in consequence OF the
cheaper methods which will be used to
make it."
