An Artificial stnna.

A new artificial stone is receiving
some attention from architects and
builders abroad 1t is a compound,
partly chemical and partly mechanical,
of iron, sulphur and silicon. with more
or less foreign matter, the normal color
being dark slate. varying somewhat
with the manner in which it is dressed,
but capable of being modified in a de
gree by the introduction of pigment,
thus rendering practicable limitations
OF various colored brick and sand.
stones 1t is about the hardness of or
binary blue stone and can be worked
by the usual stonecutting tools, turned
in lathe or planned
The tensile strength is from $50 to
l, 200 pounds per square inch. and IN
der compression endured from 1000 to
u 600 pounds. Its specific gravity is
about &c, and it melts at about 300
degs, very slowly. No deterioration
occurs under exposure to the weather,
and as the material can be melted and
nodded it is applicable to great vari-
ETY. of uses to which stone is not adapt
ed, and particularly in the case of large
castings such as pipes for sewage, etc.
Architectural forms of almost any
description can be very conveniently
made from it in position, if needed,
and for culverts and bridge founda-
tons, the perfect smoothness of which
the surface is so susceptible, is advan-
tageous in lessening friction.-New

a Gentleman Defined

Politeness and the pretension to the
character Of a gentleman have refer
ence almost entirely to the reciprocal
manifestation of good will and good
opinion toward each other in casual so
ciety. The character of a gentleman
may be explained thus: A blackguard
is fellow who does not care whom he
ofends; a clown or boor is block
head who does not know when he
ofends; a gentleman is one who under
stands and shows every mark Of defer
ence to the claims of self love in Others
and exacts it in return from them.

NORwAY's NATIONAL DAY.
Her Sturdy Sons Preparing to Celebrat
the Occasion.

The patriotic sons and daughters of old
Norway are bent on celebrating the 18th of
May, their mother country's national day
of independence, in q becoming manner
The festivities in this city will be ushered
in by ball at Armory hall on Saturday
night But the main celebration will take
place on Sunday and will consist in an
excursion on the presidential boat, the
City of Seattle, to Mukilteo, where the
programme of the day will consist of
music, speeches, singing, etc, followed by
Jolly basket picnic The sturdy sons of
Norway are getting very numerous on the
Sound, and as the Norwegians from all
over the Sound have decided TO take part
in the celebration at Mukilteo this year.
it is safe to predict that the population of
that pretty little town will be way up in
the thousands next Sunday.
The people from Tacoma will come on a
special steamer. The City of Seattle will
be gaily decorated, and the First Regi-
ment band from this city will furnish the
music. The people from Mount Vernon,
Stanwood and Utsslady are expected to
come on the Henry Bailey. They will
bring the Mount Vernon brass band.
Special steamers will also run from Port
Townsend and other points. The commit
tee on grounds, consisting of Mr.. Hull
sether. Mr.. Amunds. Mr. Lee, Mr.. Frisch,
Mr.. Munson and Mr.. Faegre, have just
returned from Mukilteo, and they report

THE BLACKLIST HURTS.
shorfstop Fisher Forced to Make Res
titution to Seattle.

The Seattle Baseball Association is nm
expectediy richer by the return of $50,
which was advanced in August, 1890, to
shortstop Fisher at Quincy. ILL.,, who had
signed to play with the local team. This
amount covered 800 advance money and
transportation, which was furnished Fish
er. lie had been playing with the Quincy
club, OF the Central Interstate League,
and when the club disbanded in August
he was signed by Manager Rockwell
for Seattle. Fisher pocketed the
500, sold his ticket to an
other Central Interstate player
who was coming 10 the Coast, but took no
steps toward filling his contract. This
spring the officials of the Seattle club,
rightly Judging that the willy shortstop
would attempt to secure an engagement
with some Eastern team, sent out word
warning all clubs against signing him. 1t
now turns out that Fishers services are
wanted again this season by the Quincy
club. which has offered TO refund to the
local association the $50 out of which it
was euchred last summer if it releases all
claim to Fisher and withdraws all charges
againt him. The offer win be accepted,
and Fisher will be free to sign with Quincy
as soon as the money is passed.

SPOKANE 4. PORTLAND 2.
A superb Gams-But One Error-Klopfs
Splendid Pitching.

SPOKANE, May A.-Ispecial. THE second
game between Spokane and Portland resulted in
another victory for the home team by score of
four To two. The defeat of Portland was a
creditable one, for they played the innings with
out an error. Parrot was somewhat wild, but
held Barnes batsfnen down TO seven hits. The
vim and snap with which the home team played
was decidedly pleasing. The only error,
made by Mutton in the first inning, was
not a factor in producing the visitors two runs.
His fielding was perfect with that exception
He had seven assists and two put-outs, and by a
timely two Dagger in the sixth batted in run
after two men were out. Klopf was steady and
reliable in the box and maintained the first
class work with which he began the season. But
six hits were made off him, and they
were distributed in five innings. He
struck out six men and did not give one base
on balls Stencil gave him superb support, as
did the basemen and fielders. The game was
the cleverest and best played on the home
grounds this season On the merits OF the game
the score should have been l to o in favor of the
home team. Noteworthy features were the first
base playing of Turner and Motz and Stencils
catching.
