THE c0RDA6E TRUST.
The Government looking Iato the Affairs
b the Combine.


CHIcAGo, ILL.,, March 5.The
powerful machinery Of the govern
ment which worked so well in secur-
ing indictments against the whisky
trust officials, has now been set in
motion against the cordage trust,
which has been boosting
prices with high hand
lately. Mr.. Charles M. Horton,
representative Of the department Of
justice. who swore out warrants for
the arrest Of President Greenhut
and other whiskey trust officials last
week, mas been investigating the
method Of the cordage trust IN this
city for several days.
Last night Mr.. Horton left for
Minneapolis, where he will confer
with the United States
district attorney and se-
cure additional evidence
to prove that the combination con-
trolls the market for garbage. The
facts which Mr.. Horton has secured
will probably be laid before the fed
eral grand jury at Boston, New
York or Philadelphia. What evil
dence Mr.. Horton has secured while
in Chicago is not known.
District Attorney Milchrist adj
mitted with great reluctance this
morning that Mr.. Horton has been
investigating the cordage trust,
but said he did not care to make
any statement of the case, -as a pre-
mature publication of facts would
injure the governments case.

Burning Aluminium for Photograph,
Light

Light.
A very intense light, such as is
required for Photographic or occa
sionally for medical purposes, may,
as is well known, be readily obtained
by burning magnesium ribbon, which
has, however, the disadvantage oil
being somewhat expensive. An ex,
cellent substitute, says London Ian
Get, has been found by a French
chemist, M. Villon, in aluminium,
which is about third of the price
of magnesium, and which may be
utilized in the same manner BY
burning it in a spirit lamp, or, if .
flame of much more intense bril-
hancy is required, in a coal, gas OF
spirit fame supplied with Jet Of
oxygen. In these it burns withoa,
emitting fumes, in which respect il
is superior to magnesium. The
light given by aluminium has high
actinic power-nearly as high, in
deed, as that of magnesium.

Painted windows, 'high and
triple-arched," prevailed until the
end of the fourteenth century, when,
with the new perpendicular order,
came in square headed windows,
with upright tracery, which became
common during the period of the
Renaissance. But in the Elizabeth
ian age came a revival of the Gothic
and the pointed window was once
more in the ascendant. Sometimes
in the great Tudor and Jaeobean
houses both styles may be seen to-
gether, and the combination ac-
complishes a picturesque individual
ity OF character which is delightful
to the observant eye. How differ

IN MEMORIAM.

William B. Glaze departed this life
May %, 1892, in his seventy-third year.
He was the father of eight children
four sons and four daughters. His
wife and two eldest daughters preceded
him to the better land. He professed
religion early in life, and joined the G..
p. Church, in which he was elder for
many years, and no elder was more
ready to be his duty than he. He lived
a devoted Christian life, and was loved
by all who knew him. Though suffer
ing much during the last hours, he re-
Joiced in prospects of heavenly things,
Among his last words were, 81 am
ready to go, if it is the Lords will
death has no fears for me-" He gave
many beautiful expressions of the
brightness of the moment, and his
happy expectation of the future, a V
ing, THE Lord is my shepherd. -
With sadness we think of the father
and counselor gone, yet in looking
backward over his long and useful
life, naught but pleasure comes to us.
His life has been a daily example to us.
The church has lost in him a pillar of
strength, the home has lost its head
and counselor. Such a death, when
lifes work is done, and the Master
calls, is more to be valued than contin-
ued earthly existence. So near perfect
is the true Christian death that, while
we mourn the departure of the loved
one and realize our loss as he leaves
the home,
A holy quiet reigns around
A calm which life nor death DESTROYS,
And naught disturbs that peace pro-
found,
Which his unfettered soul enjoys.
LIES labor done, as sinks the CLAY,
Light from its load, the spirit flies,
While heaven and earth combine to
say,
How blest the righteous when he
dies! b. w. S.

Deafness Cannot he Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure Deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inhamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube
gets infiamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it Is entirely CLOSED Deafness is the
result, an unless the inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are cause by cataIrh, which is nothing
but an infiamed condition of the nue.

How Liberty Bell Became Cracked.

1t was not shattered, as has been
often asserted in print, by the enthus-

announced the passage of the Declar-
alton of the independence. 1t was the
State hous bell till 1928, when it was
removed to independence hall, to be
used only on special occasions. Its
last clear peals were heard when it was
rung in honor of Henry Clay when he
visited Philadelphia, at which time it
was cracked. The attempt to file out
the crack was not successful in restor-
ing the clear sound.

prizes call for a waltz, a piano compo-

An Indian Fakir's Performance.

An account of the performances of
the Indian Fakir, Soliman ben Aissa
is given by the Vienna correspondent
of the Lancet, The exhibition has very
properly been forbidden in public places
in Vienna, but a series of private enter
tainments has been arranged. An au-
dience of well known persons was pres
ent at the first of these. The fakir COM
Fenced his performances by inhaling
the fumes of burnt powder, prepared
from extract of snake and scorpion
poisons, and by certain quick move
ments of the head he produced a foam
ing at the mouth. After these prelimi-
naries, needles and other sharp instru-
ments were thrust through various parts
of his body, including a stiletto a foot
long and half an inch broad, which was
thrust through his tongue. Another
feat, which is said to have caused great
sensation, consisted in pulling forward
the eyeball and presenting it outside
the orbit to the of the audience between
two fingers. He vas ''invulnerablen
also to the heat produced by a flaming
torch held for a minute and q half
against the under surface of the fore
arm. Chewing glass and playing with
poisonous snakes were among his other
tricks. The Lancet recalls the expert
ments of the celebrated Fire King
who many years ago created a sensa-
ton in London by advertising his power
to drink prussic acid without injury to
himself.
