aluminium for HOrSesloes.

Practical horssmsp were invited yester-
day to give their opinion as to aluminum
plates for runners. Several of these silver
like shoes were sent out to Garfield Park
for inspection, and more than one turfman
remarked that the light and hard metal
would mako excellent plates. An alloy can
be added to aluminium which does not ma
terially affect its specific gravity, but it in .
cteases its hardness. Judge Clark toysd
with one of the pretty plates. "It looks for
all tue world like some of the silver plates |
bave seen made not to be worn, but to be
presented to stable owners as souvenirs" :"
said he. Il don't soc why aluminium can't
be used On running horses. 1t certainly ia
hard enough to stand the easy going of our
acks. The English might use the white
metal to great advantage on their turf
courses. I'd like nothing better than ice
aluminium shoes for Yo Tambien and Hin
doc, and to take them on the English turf
to give those alleged world beaters dress
ing. 70 Iambien has demonstrated her
ability to make speed both on dry track
and in the mud. Why shouldn't she be a
wonder on The turf? Some one ought to
give aluminium trial."-Chicago Evening

A YOUNG HELENA INDUSTRY,
The Wagon and Carriage Mandatory I

The Wagon and Carriage Mandatory OF
A. Weisenhorn.
One of the most difficult tasks person
can undertake is to convince Helena man
that in wagon lines he can get just "a good
articles, and for the same money. in this
city as he can in the east. For a number of
years A. Wsisenhorn. the carriage and
wagon manufacturer, has been trying to do
this, and though the task has been diff
cult one. of recent years he has succeeded
fairly we'll. The great trouble Was to in
s'uce people to try the work turned out at
his establishment. When he succeeded in
this, he had enlisted in the work another
ardent supporter. Now there are but few
people in this city, who use wagons and
carriages. but who will acknowledge that
the product Of the Weisenhoen factory is
equal to the best tn ned out by eastern
factories and that it costs no more. when
the freight is added. This is Helena
manufacturing enterprise that receives a
great deal of patronage from all over the
state, and Helena reople, who want to see
factories grow and multiply in this city,
cannot help the cause along more surely
than to remember th9 Wsisenhorn factory
when they want new carriage or wagon.

ROGERS TYPOGRAPH.
A Committee Reports Practically
in Its Favor

NEW YORK. Jan. 1.-THE committee
on machine composition appointed last
winter by the American Newspaper
publishers association presented vol
luminous report to the executive CON-
mittee of the association, in session last
Tuesday in New York. The full re-
port in all its details, with numerous
appendices, will be published privately
for the exclusive use of members of the
association. The following is formu-
lated summary of the conclusion of the
committee:
The committee agree on the following
points: First, that machine composition
is absolutely practicable and very much
cheaper than hand composition: second,
that as between the type-setring and the
type-caStlng machines. the latter are by
far the more preferable for ordinary
newspaper work: third, that so far as
was revealed by this test, the Rogers
typograph produced the best and most
economical results. Its sim plicity of
construction was so great that it was
set up ready for running IN ninety min
utes. For five consecutive working days
no machlnist or other party than the
operator had anything to do with the
machine, and it ran smoothly with
ISSniOCiy itloIltcuGS interruption 1Or
the entire period of the test.
Fourth-That so far as revealed by
this test, the linotype machine, while
showing bursts of speed exceeding the
capacity of its competitors, yet owing to
the recklessness of its operator, the alb
iSence OF any superintendent and posi-
bly, to the too delicate and complicated
mechanism, it fell far short in the gen
eral result of accomplishing what had
been claimed for it by Its owner and
others.
tiftn-The Mcmillan machine, while
exhibiting the highest typographical
excellence in its composition, because
justified by hand, nevertheless. by rea-
son OF the fact that it requires three
skilled workmen to prduce its results. it
Is not to be preferred on the score of
economy fer use in newspaper offices

entered as contestant, but Mr.. st. John
courageously presented their original
experimental machine on exhibition
only. Its peculiarly consists in casting
slug line by compression and without
heat. The novelty of this machine
attracted great deal of attention.

TOLD BY A BIBLE.
Remarkable Interference of Prov
idence With Missionary Train
ing Institute

Remarkable Interference of Prov
idence With a Missionary Train
ing Institute.
There is some feeling and much COM
ment in missionary circles in Minneap-
oils over the removal of the missionary
training institute from Minneapolis to
st. Paul. There are two factions. One
party says that divine influences caused
the removal of the institute and the
other party says that the real object of
the removal was to secure a tenant for
building in st. Paul owned by one of
the members of the board of directors.
The training institute was established
about two years ago. Its aims are to
prepare young men and women
for active work in the mis-
sionary field. The institute had
twenty-six students under instruction
and was managed by fire directors.
These directors are Rev. c. C. Herriott.
who was for the first year secretary, and
who. for the past has been president
and treasurer; George H. Sweazie and
Mrs. Abbie c. Morrow, of this city, and
James Suydam, Of the Goodyear Rub
Der company, and T. G. Horton, 7. Nj.
c. A. secretary, both of st. Paul
About month ago the question of
moving to st. Paul came up and caused
split in the board. 1t was thought
that all the Minneapolis directors,
majority, would be against removal.
At the meeting that decided the ques-
ton Mrs. Morrow startled the other di-
| rectors by announcing that the Lord
had directed her to vote for removal to
st. Paul. She said she had
opened her Bible three times
| and each time the word "Paul"
| appeared consDlcuously on the right
hand page. So she voted for removal
and the institute has accordingly been
removed. 1t is now located in the old
| st. James hotel, on Third street. in st.
Paul. That building is controlled by
Mr.. Suydam, one of the st. Paul direct
| ors. Some of the Minneapolis directors
do not hesitate to say that it was his de-
| sire to get tenant for that building
| that led to the removal. He declines to
| discuss the question. The furniture in
| the institute, all of which was donated
| by Minneapolis people, has been re-
moved to st. Paul despite the protest of
| the donors.
But the split does not end here. Rev.
| C. G. Herriott has resigned from the di-
rectOrate and will establish another in
stitute in Minneapolis. He resigned, he
| mately connected with the work can
carry on more successfully the work of
| such an institution than persons who
| are not so Intimately connected with it,
| and because the institute was removed
| to ST. Panl against the wishes of those
who have been the most closely con-
