PHuGpEIpHIA,, Jan, s, 1902.
EDITOR OF Republican, Wilmington,
Del--Dear Strive notice In your is
sue of Dec. 3lst, an article headed
writer's speaking Of the who'e thing
as collapsed.
We think If some OF these writer's
would go to the trouble to get full in
formation of the industry they would
find that the situation was directly
the opposite to collapse. 1t is the
universal ignorance of what tin plate
really is that causes the many ridicu-
lous articles to DO written upon the
subject. Tin plate Is simply the out
put OF our rolling mills, already in
operation here in the United States, J
properly prepared and coated with
pure tin and a mixture OF tin and
lead.
To those writer's who ridicule the
fact of there being any block tin In
tho United States we would say. TO
take tho position that there is not one
pound OF it. and to place the Philadel-
phia manufacturer in the position to
secure his supplies OF block tin from
the same point as the manufacturer
In Wales; LOndonis the principal mar
ket for the tin used in making tin
plate. The ocean freight on block tin
from London to Philadelphia is Is
cents per hundred pounds and there
Is noduty, therefore the manufacture
er in Wales WHO'S compelled to pay
more than 10 cents per hundred
bounds freight from London must
pay higher price for his block tin
than the Philadelphia manufacturer.
Wages in America are Of course
higher than in Europe, and We have
never heard them criticised by the
worNmcn, but as improved facilities,
competition. etc, will regulate the
cost, we will find it will not DO long
before the manufacturer here will sue
cesstUlly compete with the foreign,
and prices Will he lower and IL will not
he great while before we can readily
get along wi bout tho incr, S4ed duty.
II necessary Our advice is give the
industry half chance and il. Will soon
he SO firmly established That it cannot
be removed
Very respectfully,
n. " q. Taylor Company.

Masher Who Did Not Care to Walt

A masher boarded the train at Ba-

lie had all the appearance of profes.
sional lady-killer, including a red neck
tie and an India-rubber smile. He
stared at all the ladies in the car as
ne walked down the aisle. He was
picking out a victim and doing his
work with the air OF a man who knows
not defeat. It didn't take him long
to make selection. He picked out a
young married woman who occupied
one OF the front seats of the car with
q little girl, and seated himself across
the aisle short distance behind her,
The soon-to- -be-mashed's little girl
was alternately playing in the aisle
and sitting by her mother. During
one of the child's frolics lin the aisle
the gentleman from Batavia caught
her eye and beckoned to her. The
mother saw her child start to run
away, looked in the direction in which
she was going, saw the masher, and
smiled. This was all the encouragement
the lady-killer wanted. He called
the little girl to his side, wrote some
thing on card, and said to the child:
''Take this to mammal" The little
one obeyed, and this is what mamma
read: II should be delighted to make
your acquaintance" The Young
mothers face turned scarlet as she
read the note, but she wrote a reply
to it and sent it by helittle girl. Then
she turned her gaze on the masher.
The little girl delivered the message
and this is what the fellow read;
perhaps you can get my husband,
who is sitting directly behind you to
Introduce us" The masher looked up.
His intended victim was still staring
at him. Then eninvoluntarily he turned
his eyes toward the person occupying
the seat behind him. Another pair 81 81
eyes was regarding him with a fixed,
stony gaze. Suddenly the India-rub.
Der smile lost it's elasticity, even the
red necktie seemed to grow dull IN
color, and the lady-killer as suddenly
concluded that he wanted q smoke
worse than ever before in his life.

Ills SIDE OF THE STORY.
De.con's History of His Married Life as
Told to His Lawyer

Deacon's History of His Married Life as
Told to His Lawyer
PARIS, May 1.-THE Dix Ncuvieme
Steele to-day publishes a long history of
the married life o. Edward Parker Deacon,
who is now awaiting trial before the ass:ze
court of the Alpes Maratimes on the charge
OF manslaughter, growing out of the kill,
ing OF NJ. Abeille, whom Mr.. Deacon dis
covered in his wite's apartments at the Ho-
tel -Splendide at Cannes Jan. 9 last. The
paper asserts that the story it publishes was
told by Mr.. Deacon to his solicitor. Ac-
cording to this story Mr.. Deacon says that
/, a few days prior to the tragedy and again
on the evening the shooting occurred, be-
fore he let the hotel to attend the ball
given by the Cercle Nautique he
urged his wife to consent to divorce. He
had very strong suspicion that his wite's
relations with Abeille were not what they
should be, and he thought that il lie could
procure his wiies consent not to contest an
action for divorce much scan al could be
avoided. Mrs. Deacon, however, objected
to this course and Notwithstanding all the
arguments her husband advanced, she re-
fused to consent to divorce proceedings.
Mr.. Deacon, the story adds. declared that
his Wlles conduct was exemplary until
Abeille was introduced tc her. The French
man became assiduous in his attentions to
Mrs. Deacon. and Mr.. Deacon frequently
protested against his, to him, unpleasant
actions. Abeile then lett the country and
Mr.. Deacon. who while thinking his wife
had acted uhcircumspectly.
HAD NO DOUBT AS TO HER HONOR,
believed the whole trouble was settled. A
short time after 'Abeille had gone away Mr..
Deacon began to receive Ietteis from an
anonymous source stating that his vile
was deccivng him. In one day lie received
six such letters. Subsequently he found
letters that Abelile had written to his wife,
but his,suspicions as to her fidelity were
not thoroughly aroused until he found
curtain in his wiie's room at their Paris
residence. After this occur ence scenes
between himself and his wife were frequent
and Mrs. Deacon upbraided him in very
strong language, accusing him OF tyran-
nous and infamous conduct. While
they were at St. Mori,z she became
so violent. that lie threatened to
send Tor the police and have her
taken into custody. She retorted "Send
ior'them; am tired of this life, and don't
wantyou to communicate with me except
through my attorney" He afterwards
apologlzed TO his vile and a reconci.iati
occurred, Some lltlle time, aiterward he
went to the United States and upon his re-
turn his vile declined to see him until
Christmas Though they then lived to-
gcther, they never afterwards resumed
marital re atio1ls. The details OF the shoot
ing as told by Mr.. Deacon are essentially
the same as those already reported in these
dispatches. The date of the trial of Mr..
Deacon has been definitely fixed Tor the

cry the calf staggered upon its hind legs,
then fell to the ground. Running up to
the supposed animal, Dampmsn discovered
he had shot and killed young man who
hadbeen around the camp for sometime. A
later investigation showed that instead Of a
male, the supposed boy was a girl about
eighteen years OF age. She was found to he
enciente, which proved that some n.an
knew her sex, and the theory is that he
planned the robbery, which must have
