Not Very ENCOURAGING.

Algy had spent long evening with Miss
Edith. At last he rose to go. Her hand
shake was not cordial enough to suit him;
in fact, it was very limp and exhausted.
He was disappointed, for he had expected
a very different parting but in vein of
pleasantly he said, "Oh, shake hands with
a man, Miss Edithr'

was her quiet rejoinder. Algy has not
called since.-Harvard Lampoon.

A novel invention is bran packer for
the use OF millers who do u large export
business and to whom economy of space is
desirable. The apparatus consists of an
augur working in the funnel that fills the
bag. 1t constantly revolves, at the same
time having an up and down motion. On
the down stroke it forces the bran into the
sack, packing it solidly at the same time.

MASONRY.

On Monday evening Wheeling Com
mandery No. l held their conclave, and
there was present large company OF
Jealous and valient Knights OF the
ROYAL Standard Of the Cross Of Eman-
uel there, to do service in the cause OF
truth, honor and Christian warfare. A
knight OF the Red Cross was found in
waiting upon whom was conferred the
Order of the Temple and Malta in a
most effective and intelligent manner,
ia which an impression was made upon
him that will continue during life, and
prepare him for an entrance into the
asylum Of heaven to receive the reward
of the golden crown for having borne
the cross.
On Thursday evening Nelson Lodge,
NO. 80, held a regular communication,
with the usual full attendance of breth-
rem present. One good, fine specimen
was brought forth from the Quaries,
and upon it was made the first impress
necessary to prepare it for its place in
the moral temple we build in our fra
ternity. Senior Warden William r.
Dudley took the Masters place and as

Osirus Temple, Mobiles of the Mystic
Shrine, met on Friday evening, and a
number OF our brethren ambitious for
an ascendency were permitted to ride
the camel to the top Of the ladder Of
fame, and after viewing the beauties to
be seen in Arabia from the apex. were
permittep the privilege of sliding down
the same, without the necessary rungs
found in that climbing machine. After
all had been done for the edification
and enjoyment of the aspirants they
were permitted to "eat, drink and be
merry" especially the latter il there
was any merriness left in the man.
Sorry we were not at the 6anQuetting
board, for the elegant things prepared
would have made any fellow hungry,
even if he had supped and sand wiched
everything found on his trip over the
desert.

PETER JACKSON, A GIRL AND A BOOK
MAKER CHASING JAMES ].
Charley Michslls Chances for Reduction or
Remission Of Sentence are Very Slim.
General Sporting News Notes
and Comments.

NEW YORK, October 29.-The arrival
of Peter Jackson on the Teutonic, and
the fact that Jim Corbett is being pur-
sued by girl and an angry bookmaker
with a gun, have reawskened interest
in the doings Of those eminent knights
of the knuckles, the more so as the col
cred Australian has taken up the trail
OF the Western female and her pencil
driving friend, and is himself in pursuit
of pompadour Jim.
Says jackson: ~ have issued my
issued my first challenge, and II 1t is
possible to force Corbett into a tight l
will do so. He owes me return match
and l am bound to get it II there Is any
fight in him. II he will not fight will
force him to give up the title he now
holds. / will meet him at the Coney
Island, California or National Sporting
Club, and you can wager that which
ever way the battle results there will be
a winner. There will not be another
draw"
Whether this will cause Jim to give
up money making theatrical tour is
freely discussed, and the general opinion
Is that he would be very foolish II he
did. The men will undoubtedly get
together some time, but not in the i'm
mediate future. Meanwhile Peter is
growing older and CorbettS chances
stronger.

LOCAL JOTTINGS.

An effort is being made to get mat
tiers In such shape at the Sumner Glass
Works, in Steubenville, that the factory
can be placed Ia operation about the
middle OF November. The new com
pany, In the event of its formation, will
likely adopt either coal or petroleum
eventually as fuel and make other
changes in the factory, keeping it a
union factory and giving employment
to large number Of men.
It is an actual fact that the glass fac
tories in this valley have better busi-
ness now and have had all Of this fall
than in any one OF several seasons past.

crossing nicely and the brick portion
Of the old Belmont Glass Works will be
utilized. They expect to goto work by
the first of the year.
Satisfactory progress is being made
in the work Of eXcavating for the foun-
dation for the new Riverside plate mill

construction and capacity Of the mill
recently finished. The galvanizing
shop will soon be ready to receive it's

cipal owners, have been so busy that
they have not yet determined upon

LONDON, October 29.-The appeal OF
Charley Mitchell, the prize fighter, who,
on October 7, was sentenced TO two
months hard labor for brutally assault
ing George Salvage, an aged lodging
house keeper, will be held in January.
Judge Sir Peter Edlin, before whom
the appeal will be heard, has gained
reputation for the severity with which
he deals with law-breagers. He recent
ly confirmed with promptness SEN
tence imposed by police magistrate
on the Pugllist Prltchard, and this fact
does not anger well for Mitchell. The
latters friends do not seem to hope that
the sentence will be set aside. On the
contrary their only hope is that Judge
Edlin will not impose heavier SEN
tence than the one imposed by Magls-
trate Vaughan In the Bow street Police
Court.

Fusl EnperIments at one Aeme.

For the past month the Acme Glass
Works, Of Steu benville, has been expert
encing no little difficulty in operating
the factory owing to the shortage OF the
natural gas supply. This was especially
annoying at this time when. every effort
was being made to increase the output
to the full capacity of the factory.
Heretofore men have gone to work at
about 6 o'clock in the morning and con-
tinued in turns until midnight. When
the gas shortage began 1t was found
necessary to begin work about o'clock
in the afternoon aud continue all night.
All OF these complications has caused
th management TO cast about for the
improvement Of the fuel supply, the
most important item in glass mannfact-
ure, especially in these days when free
gas fuel is so generously offered in the
natural gas belt
The management is now putting in
Hail steam pump and an air compressor
that will be utilized first to increase or
improve the present natural gas supply
by injecting an air jet into the gas pipes
TO force out the gas in greater strength
and volume 1t is thought that this
will in a measure relieve the difficulty
at the glory holes. In addition to this
the management is also preparing TO
try the experiment Of petroleum fuel
upon the same plan as was pursued at
Wellsburg, Moundsvile and other fac
tories in the vicinity of SteubenVille.
The steam pump now being placed will
be utilized for this purpose and tank
room for the oil will be had in the
vacant lot south Of the factory. Both
these plans, however, are only expert
ments, but they show one thing con-
clusively, that resort to coal as fuel in
glass manufacture will not be had ex-
cept as last resource.
