Denverite, attracted more interest
here than any similar event since the
Corbett-Jackson contest and the rooms

The fight was for a S., 600 purse. OF

A SPECIMEN CASE.

The st. Louis congress sman, NEID-
RINGHAUS, who was so fervent and
effective in the construction and adOp-
ton of the MCKINLEY act, and especial
ly the tin plate schedule, has reaped
abundant rewards of his enterprise and
sagacity. AS a leading manufacturer,
he was enabled to lay in a supply of
foreign plate before the duty was OPP
erative, that Melted him $50, 900 or so.
He has of late also managed to keep the
papers advertising him editOrially in
connection with the tin business, and
his apparent effort to import Welsh tin
workers. But in aiding to construct the
tariff he did not forget the main branch
of his business, and the case is a sample
one of the protective wall builders.
The facts i'll the case have only fully
come to light recently. His chief man
ufacture has been the granite or agate
irOnWare now so generally used in
households. He has a big plant in this
industry. and there is but one other such
in the United States-one on Long
Island. The two work in combination.
with the same price lists, dividing the
territory and controlling the entire
trade. They have had this monopoly
for fifteen years. There was some in
reference from importations, however.
In making the new tariff the beneYo-
lent congressman took care to raise the
duty on this ware high enough, as he
supposed, to shut out all foreign artI-
cles. 1t was put at 80 per cent, but Ow-
ing to the foreign article being superior
it is still imported to some small eX-
tent. In Canada, however, the duty is
but So per cent. The monopoly on this
side OF the line has the versatility of
many other protected industries. 1t
easily meets the European competition
in Canada. This necessitates, however,
two price lists, one for the United
States and lower one for Canada. The
| goods are sold TO the trade over the Dor
der at 80 to 10 per cent less than to those
| who have the economic misfortune to
live on this side. If there were not a
reasonable profit at the figures given
the Canadians, that trade would not be
so actively sought as 1t is. The case is
not singular at all. 1t is fair Speoi-

WOULD BE DANGEROUS.

The government rain producers are
understood to be in the midst of their
tests that are to be conclusive as to the
possibilities of inducing precipitation
by atmospheric shocks, somewhere in
the Southwest. The supposition that
the heavy rainfall Thursday morning
was due to their efforts, getting away
from them, is not probably warranted
by known facts, but it may afford some
suggestion as to possibilities in the
event that the theories of the agricult-
ural bureau are verified. There is no
data for computing the area of rainfall
induced by bOmbarding the elements,
but if a storm can be put on its
travels there is no assurance that
it may not do wild and extern
sive rowing. There are possibilities
of confusion and trouble. if indi-
vidualS or communities can be allowed
to cause the waters to fall from the
sky at will. Presuming it is confined
to an area of a few miles, only in ex-
IRENE cases would there be unanimity
in the demand. One would need rain
and another would be Inconvenience
or damaged by it. The irrelIgiOus and
churchless might insist upon having all
the rainfall Oh Sundays, and people
would not go to church. When polit-
ical party arranged for a grand outdoor
parade and meeting the opposing party
would send up its explosives and drench
out the demonstration. The deal ers
in umbrellas and weekday goods would
get up frequent rains to help their trade,
and there would be constant dis
cord and wrangling over the matter. 1t
would be found that it would not do at
all TO let the control at the option OF IT.
responsible or Interested parties. Leg
islation would be needed and agents APP
pointed to operate the rain-prOducing
machinery. Even if the vote Of the
people in each locality was had, all
could not be suited. Politics would be
brought in, and the drys and vets would
be arrayed on opposite sides. Intense
bitterness would be stirred up and COM
munities made hot with the rival in
terestS. But it is premature TO do much
serious forebOding. The danger of be-
ing drenched by the new process is not

SHOULD BE GRADUAL.

1t is probable that the reform move
ment in female dress that has had such
an impulse given it at Chautauqua may
grow into something of practical kind
in time. 1t must, however, capture
those who prepare the styles before
there is pronounced success. It'll prob
ably we'll that conservatism obtains in
such matters, even if the changes are
conceded to be salutarv. A writer on
the subject says that radical and sud-
den change i'll feminine fashion would
work more distress than a general war.
That may be a strong statement but
the results must necessarily be calami-
tOuS. Vast quantities of goods held by
manufacturers, jObbers and local deal
ers would be left on their hands
unstable. 1t is proposed to dis
card the corset. Gould this be ac-
complished with the rapidity with which
new styles are adopted, it would rum
great numbers of people and throw
thousands out of employment. So with
other articles that reform would put
aside. There would be new devices, of
course, and the Industries and trades
could in time adapt themselves to them !;
but 1t would take time, and great losses
would be incurred. But if there is any
notable reform in this direction, it will
probably be worked out gradually.
Dealers will not need at present to an
nounee sacrifice sales of corsets OF other
articles in the female wardrobe, in view
of their early ostracism,

KNOWN TO THE WORLD.

No prima donna of English birth, it is

IN Canada; Melba in Melbourne; Nord
lea, Emma EameS and Sybil Sanderson
IN this country.
At ripe old age of eighty-one Sen
at0r Morrill,, of Vermont, plays skittles
and gun in hand roams the hills for
small game. There was no need in the
elder day, evidently, for a professor of
physical culture in the senate chamber.
Gov. Francis, of Missouri, has amassed
a fortune of S1,000,0O0 within the last
ten years. In 1881 he was worth only
$4,000, but lucky investments iii wheat
on the Chicago board of trade started
him on the road to wealth.
Martyr Van Lennep, who has written
"Our WOrld' and many other lyrics,
and whose father, Rev. j. Ii. Van Len
nep, of Massachusetts, was for years a

has been head porter at the hotel. lii

the position at the age of seventy and

from the tips given him by travellers.
Fully 100000 has been spent on the
empress of Austria'S new palace at
Corfu. The wood-carving alone in one
suite of rooms cost $4,000. A villa
built for the empress few years ago
at an expenditure of S400,0 has never
been occupied by her because she took
dislike to the place after it was fin

The Jackson portrait of William Pitt,
which was purchased at the sale of Lord

SHOULD EAT CORN.

In connection with the Paris EXPOSE
ton, and in other recent times, there
have been efforts to teach Europeans
that corn is not only one of the most
useful, but an extremely palatable arti-
Gle of food. Probably the efforts were
limited and spasmodic, as it is not re-
ported that any important results have
ensued. A rare opportunity will be
afforded at the worlds fair to surprise
foreign visitors, and not few even in
this country, who do not know the real
merits of corn as an article of food. 1t
is unfortunate thatthe prejudice against
it does exist to such an extent in the
old world, as this country could feed all
the hungry ones there with its abundant
crop, if it natures as it now promises.
The prevalent feeling in Europe is that
corn is unfit for human food, if not al
most poisonous. 1t is fed somewhat to
animals, but is not altogether in favor
for that use. An English family in St.
Paul, in speaking of the matter, said
that in many years residence in this
country they had never tasted corn in
any form. They disliked the taste. and
had an impression that it heated the

BIG OCEAN RACERS.

1t was assumed that when the Great
Eastern was condemned as a structure
too large for profitable use upon the
water, the limit of size for ocean
steamers would be reached far below
the dimensions of the experiment of a
third of a century ago. That was. G92
feet in length on deck. and was failure
for the uses it was bnilt for. 1t was
made of service in the Laying of some of
the ocean cables. ana within the past
year or two was broken UP for junk.
But the tendency now is to enormous
size with the increase in speed. The
Cunard line is building a steamer to be
600 feet in length, which is expected to
break the present record. 1t is eighteen
feet longer than the Teutonic, the latest
record breaker, and 100 feet longer than
the champion of 1882. The limit does
not appear.
