A New Fuel.

According to q late special from Muncie, Ind, which is the center of the Indiana natural gas aeldss the number of chance discoveries has just been ad- ded to by one which will be of immense importance m the industrial world. The story is that few days agoa serv- ice pipe line of natural gas had frozen near Mill Grove. To remedy the stop page Joint of the pipe was detached. It was found that the joint was filed with ice, and one of the worlxmen. pounded the pipe and cylinder of ice; about foot long came out. One of the. workmen said, jestingly: "Wen, there's some ice which ought to burn. ," Some one then suggested that fire; be applied to the ice. The ice caught fire and burned like torch, so thor oughly was it impregnated with the natural gas. The burning gas furnished heat to melt the ice, and as it melted it liberated the gas, which burned as fiercely as if it had been coming out of pipe. All present were amazed at the phenomenon, and it was at once suggested that the discovery might prove of immense value by rendering it possible to freeze natural gas into blocks which could be sent out for use as fuel. It seems that the congealing had taken place under pressure of three hundred pounds to the square inch, and it will require investigation of chemical experts to decide whether the gas had been iquefied by the pres sure and then frozen or not. Capital ists are Investigating the discovery, and if practical a new industry will be de- veIoped in the natural gas field.

How to Care JudIciousIy and Properly
 for AninG Children.
 An ailing child should be kept in a pure atmosphere and have fresh air to breathe. This does not mean that the windows must be thrown wide open and the little body chilled with draughts. The temperature of a nur- sery should never fall below sixty-five degrees, and in illness be kept at from sixty-eight to seventy degrees. Fresh air must be admitted and enough arti- acial heat supplied to keep the tenn perature uniform. Of course, in ex- tremely cold weather the window must be closed and the room aired when the child is asleep. At this time it can be covered from head to foot with Q blanket, the face protected and the window opened for few minutes. The extra covering must be left on until the thermometer again registers sixty eight degrees. In ordinarily mild weather the window can be lowered from the top about two inches and a strip of flannel tackled over the opening to prevent a draught. If the window does not open at the. top a piece of board two inches wide and exactly fit ting the window frame can be put under the lower sash. The child should be kept away from the window.
 A warm bath is always grateful to a sick child. The water should fully cover the person and feel pleasantly warm to the hand. As the little pa tient is lifted out wrap it in warm blanket and dry it under that with a warm towel Put on flannel night dress or jacket over the cotton night gown. If the attack is the beginning of an eruptive disease the bath will help bring the eruption to the surface. An ailing child should not be allowed to sleep in the room with other chill dren.-Elisabeth Robinson Scovil, in Ladies' Home Journal.

Chief of Construction Burnham Compelled
 to Retract.
 CHICAGO. April 9. - Congressman Dockery's Committee finished it's inves tigation of the Worlds Fair The only sensation of the investigation was when Mr Cookery administered B stern rebuke to Chief of Construction Burnham and compelled that gentleman to retract the statement that Director General Davis did not know what he was talking about.
 The Director General had testified that the estimates for expenditures in the Construction Department could be cut down about $22, ,O00, 900, and this was more than MT. Burnham's temper could stand.
 When asked his opinion of the Fair after the investigation was completed. Mir. Dockery replied:
 ''While we have been making this in quiry into the exposition the conviction has been growing upon me that it is the greatest work of enterprise the world has ever known. It is vast, but the men at the head seem to understand the re- auirements of the situation"

 CHIcAao, April 9.--Count Eugene Lo- githetti confirmed the report that his engagement to Miss Bahette Fleischmann, the beautiful daughter of the great yeastmaker, has been broken Shortly after the announcement of Count Logi- thetti's betrothal to the fair heiress, he assumed the management of her fathers business in this city.
 ''It is true that Miss Fleischmann has tilted me-" said he. 'Immediately upon her return few days ago from Califor- mia, where she and her father had sojourned for . time, she informed me that our engagement was at an end.'
 'tIs the story that the cause of your arrangement is your refusal to become an American citizen trueT'
 eff you were ever in love,n replied the count, t'you would know that Miss FleischmRnn, who loves me as dearly as love her, cauld not break our engage ment for such Q cause. That story ia ridiculous. I do not wish to say why we are not to be married. That is a personal matter between Miss Fleisch- mann and myself.

SENATOR SHERMAN is about the last man that a newspaper man with any Washington experience would go to in search of news having any connection with his official position, but from another source It is learned that the Chinese minister has in an unofficial way served notice on Senator Sherman that his gove rnment would at oIc sever diplomatic relations with the United States, if the Chinese exclusion bill, which has, been passed by the house, becomes a law. Senator Shel- man is chairman of the senate commit- tee on foreign affairs, before which the bill now is, which accounts for his hay ing been honored by the minister with this ultiuatum. The impression is that the minister might as well make his ar- engagements to leave, unless he can per suade Mir Harrison to veto the bill, as it is expected to go through the senate with relative majority as large as it rect ived in the house.

FROM the tone of last nights meeting of the Regular Fourth Ward Democratic club, it is evident that the members are ready to agree upon a policy of har- mony. Which is well. The opposing factions in the fourth ward have been at war long enough to understand that in order to be successful they must work together. Concessions must be made, and treachery should never be re- sorted to. Men should be chosen fer leaders who are known to be honest and whose democracy has been tried. The vitality has been we'll nigh drawn out of the fourth ward democracy by schemers who have been for poodle first, last and all the time. It is time that the eyes of those who have blindly followed such leaders were opened. The DEMOCRAT is not now speaking for any club or faction. We want unity in the ranks and again urge upon the diff ferent factions the necessity of getting together.

COMPLAINTS are being made that the duty on tin plate is not high enough to domesticate the manufacture in this country, in spite of the representations of the American Protective Tariff league tha: tin plate factories here are thicker than stalks in a cornfield. The best information obtainable is that the increase of duty effected by the McKin- ley law was never intended to establish the tin plate industry in this country. It was imposed to gratify the sheet-irOn men, who found tin was taking the place of their wares, and they wanted 8 rate of duty fixed that would keep out Welsh tn plates, but would not create an American tin plate industry. The speech made by Ben Butterworth, of Ohio, on the proposition of the Mills bill to put tin on the free list, showed clearly enough that it was the sheet iron manufacturers who wanted the Ity on tin plates maintained. When the Mckinley bill WAS under cOnsidera- ton, the sheet-iron men who asked for an increase of duty on tin plate pro- fessed desire .o make this article, but plenty of we'll informed men who looked into the matter declared that the Mckinley rate of Guty was not enough to cause the manufacture of the plates here. If the duty is high enough to keep out foreign tin and low enough to prevent the manufacture of domestic tin the sheet-iron men have have just what they want. Trench & Cos trade circular expresses the opinion that tin plate is being replaced considerably by sheet-iron, galvanized iron, etc.

But ''Lucky" BAldwin's Friends Think He
 Will Forgive His Daughter.
 SAN FRANCISCO, April 9.-So quietly did Lucky Baldwin return to town yes- terday that no one discovered his pres ence until evening. The old millionaire was. as uncommunative as clam about his daughters marriage, and all he said in response to queries was; "The mar riage is legal SO far as I ann aware, and if am satisfied with it the public will have to be.'
 When asked i& he would resume rela- tions with the Eunaways, he said: q have nothing to do with my son-in-law. " The inference from this made by his friends is that he will hold out for a short time and then forgive. Meanwhile Anita's husband has been promoted in the County Clerks office.

What a Trust Is,

The recent decision of the supreme court of Ohio busting the Standard Oil Company from powers not conferred by its charter or franchise, sets forth very clearly what constitutes trust within the meaning of the law. It says in eff feet that an agreement by which all or a majority of the stockholders of a cor poration transfer their stocks to certain trustees, in consideration of the agree ment of the stockholders of other com panies and of the members of limited partnerships engaged in the same busi- ness to do likewise, and who are to re- ceive all dividends made by the several companies and limited partnerships, from which. as a common fund, divi- dends are to be made by the trustees to the holders of the trust certificates, tends to the creation of a monopoly to control production as well as prices, and is against public policy.

THE man who first brought the pestif- erous and noisy sparrows from Eng land meant well, but he is responsible for an enormous amount of damage. The eastern coast is already overrun with countless millions of sparrows. It was at first thought that the English sparrow would prove the dire enemy of various obnoxious worms and bugs. This expectation proved bitter disap- pointment. For the sparrow does not hanlSer after destructive worms and insects, but destroys fruit and grain. At the same time, he has driven out and exterminated the familiar native birds that formerly rendered invaluable services as worm and bug destroyers.

He declares his machine to be perfect, but the same claim has been made by these would-be serial navigat- ors from the time of the unfortunate Darius Green to the present. The ma chimes are all right in every particular except that they won't fly. If Mir.

The heavy walking gloves which are the oftenest assumed for street wear by women who dress well, should be got ten quarter or half size larger than the ordinary glove, for one is supposed to put them on with great ease, and to permit one's hands to move about with perfect freedom.
