SECRETARY FOSTER, who recently re-
turned from a trip to London says he
found that the silver question Is one OF
the principal topics of conversation in
London. He also noticed that there is
an increasing sentiment in favor of BIZ
metallism. This sentiment, however,
found but slow growth among the
bankers and brokers of Lombard street
which corresponds with our Wall street.
They are generally opposed to a change.
He hoped hat an international confer.
nee in silver would be arranged.

BRIAR ROOT PIPES.
How They Arc Made in tho Facto-
RES Of England.
Only the Finest Grades Are Made In Lon
don-France and Germany Furnish
the Cheaper Kinds-Processes
of Manufacture.

Some little time ago most interest
ing show of pipes and everything in
connection with smoking was held Mt
Rydc, Isle of Wight, and one of the en-
hibits that attracted most attention
was the process of making the bowl of
briar root pipe. A Pail Mall Budget
representative is indebted to the
courtesy of wcll-known firm for the
Information regarding the annexed
sketches. He had the privilege tho
and was much impressed with all he
saw and the manner in which the bust
ness was conducted, and especially the
way in which the comfort of their nu-
mcrous employees is cared for.
There are probably few people who
have any idea of the trouble and diff
Guilty of producing perfect pipe. 1t is
most interesting to watch the worllmcn
and to sec the ugly-loolling square
pieces of,wood at the one end of the
factory passing from one turner to an
other, to eventually appear in the we'll
known shapes of briar root pipes, and
also to sec all the raw materials of
which the mouthpicccs are made-horn,
amber, vulcanitc and bone-which
finally come out of the polishcr's hands
rs perfect articles ready to afford benc-
fit and pleasure to the smoker.
Few are aware when buying n pipe
for few shillings that the same has
passed through more than fifty hands
before it is ready for sale i'll the tobac-
conists' shops. With cheap pipes the
process is, of course, much simpler;
nearly all those which nrc sold rot.,il fo,.
II, %, 80, or even G5 cents, have nodded
mouthpicces and arc inferior in quality
and finish. They are nearly all made
abroad.

JUDGE KoBEkrsoN's SUCCESSOR.

The Roanoke Bar Association VIII Make
Recommendation Monday Night.
Pursuant to call issued by Col John
E. Penn, chairman, the Roanoke Bar
Association met in the Hastings Court
room last night to consider what stops
should be taken in regard TO filling the
vacancy, which will be caused by the
resignation of Judge William Gordon
Robertson. Col. Penn called the meet.
ing to order and moved that Eston Ran
dolph take the chair, which was carried.
On motion Mr.. Hicks was appointed
secretary.
Mr.. Randolph took the chair and an
nounced that nominations were in or
der j. Allen Watts stated that Gov.
Mckinney had told several members of
the bar that If the association would
agree upon suitable member of the
bar he would appoint him Judge and
moved that the association recommend
Roy Il. Smith to the governor. John
Nj. Hart and two or three others bit
terly opposed making any recommends
ton on the ground that not more than
half of the bar was present and minor
ity rule was unfair.
Mr.. Watts stated that none of Mr..
Smiths friends wanted to take any
snap judgment in this matter and were
perfectly willing to postpone the rec
ommendation until another meeting.
Col. Penn moved that Gov. Mckinney
be asked to direct Judge Sheppard, OF
Buena Vista, to act as Judge in Roanoke
while he is considering the permanent
appointment. After considerable dis
cussion this was adopted.
Lucien H. Cooke moved that the meet
ing adjourn until Monday night, with
the understanding that at that time the
association unite in recon mending to
the Governor candidate for the judge
ship. After a heated discussion this
motion was adopted.

they turn ont augur we'll for a SUCCESS
full future for pipe-malsing as an Eng
hsh industry.
The briarwoOd is a wild-growinp
Shrub, and is not related in any way to
the plant with fragrant leaves The
proper name is "bruyere." 1t is found
in the Pyrenees, Italy, Corsica and
northern Africa, and is cut into pieces
like figures A and B on the spot where
it is found, and from there shipped in
bales to all parts of the world, and par
ticularly to those towns which make
the pipe industry their speciality. The
process of making the bowl is very
slow one, and one piece of wood passes
through more than a dozen hands be-
fore it is ready to receive the mouth
piece, which also passes through nu-
merous hands before it is perfect, rs also
do the silver band and other adiuncts
to well-made pipe.
Fig. a shows how piece of briar-
wood measuring or inches square
can be made the most of.
Figs. and 9 illustrate the process
of shaping the "ebouchon" Gas the
French call it) by means OF a circular
saw, after which it is wedged in a
chuck and put on to the lathe.
Figs. 8, 4, and 6 represent the
various stages of the bowl during the
the tu,ning operations; while and
show he manner in which the bowl
is finished by means of saving, filing.
scraping and various ways of polishing.
Fig. is the tip of horn from
which the mouthpiece is manufactured,
and Fig. d is the complete pipe, to
which the silver band adds additional
strength and elegance.
