The n. G.. Taylor company of Philadel-
phia recently sent out circular giving the
average price of tin plate for 20 years, from
which the following facts are ascertained:
/. The average value of tin plate at
the highest point reached each year for 20
years, compared with the price today, is
100 per cent higher than today.
2. The average price of tin plate at the
lowest point reached each year for 20 years,
compared with price today, is 63 per cent
higher than today.
3. Ninety-seven makers of tin plate
within the small area of Great Britain con-
troll 10000, 900 consumers in the United
States, who have been compelled to pay
whatever these 81 makers were pleased to
demand, and tolerate the veXatiOus delays
in obtaining supplies.
4. Great Britain has been making tin
plate since 1920, one hundred and seventy
two years, and there are now 81 makers
there.
5. The United States has been making
tin plate for one year, and there are now
26 makers.
One of these American tin plate mills
near Philadelphia has a capacity of one
sixth the entire American yearly demands.
At this rate probably the entire consump-
ton of tin plate will be supplied wholly by
American manufacturers within three
wears. The amount of American gold sent
to England during the past 25 years for
English tin plate amounts to the enormous
sum of $500, 100000 (nearly one-half the
entire gold product of California since the
days of '40), which henceforth will be
gradually kept at home.

A SENSATION.
A Nine Days Wonder In a
Small Town.
Facts and Details From Our Own
Correspondent.
Surprised Many But Does Not
Surprise Us.

Mansfield Ohio, is not a large place, but it has
certainly experienced a great sensation.
The people are not done talking about it yet,
and indeed It will furnish the subject for CONVEX
sation for a long time to come, as well as food for
thought.
Our correspon lent, C. C. Coulter, who is a
prominent and influential citizen of Mansfield,
and agent Of the Rockford, Ill., Silver Plate Co.,
has furnished US with the facts and details which
we are positive will prove most interesting to.our
readers.

age" writes Mr.. Coulter, who had never done a
days work in his life; never ran 10 rods in his

Heart disease was his trouble. Last fall, he
got the grip and went down, down, down.
1.-TWO Of our best physicians treated him.
His tongue was coated badly, had backache,

His stomach was almost as hard asa board;

He quit the doctors and commencediusing DR..
Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, and
nothing else, and the third day was better. He is
now better than he ever in his life can run

N1eoker Should Not he Pardoned.

A petition will be presented to the legis-
lature, asking that Almon Meaker, now
serving life sentence in the state prison
be pardoned. Mrs. Meaker and her son AL
mon took the latter's 10-year-old niece
from their home in Duxbury to a lonely
part of Waterbury, where they compelled
the child to drink mixture of strychnine
and water, and then held her while she sui.
fered the agonies of death. They buried
the body in muck hole beside the high.
way, but it was found and the crime be
came known. Mother and son were
promptly convicted and sentenced to death
but a driveling sympathy seized the legs-
lature, and the boys life was spared; one
of the principal arguments used, however
was that no application for his pardon
would ever be made. 1t is hoped in the in
terest of justice, law and decency, that
this petition will not be granted.

GOV. Fuller PRrdOns the Liquor Seller
who Was Sentenced 20 Serve 90
Years.
George f. Kibling has received his dis
charge from the house of correction, CON
ditioned upon his good behavior. 1t will
be necessary for him to report to the gov
ernor once in 30 days. Kibling is the not
ed Norwich liquor seller who was sentenc-
ed to serve a term of over 60 years. His
case has attracted much attention on ac-
count of the long sentnece. He first car
ried on liquor business at Hanover n. H.,
where he wrought so much mischief with
the Dartmouth college students that the
faculty pushed the prosecutions until he
was obliged to leave the state. He then
crossed the river into Norwich and opened
a saloon, the students continuing to patro-
nize him freely. The college authorities
again took the case in hand, and proved
several hundred offences of liquor-sellng
against him. One of his children died
last week from diphtheria, another child is
i'll with the same disease, and his wife has
just recovered from it, These crcum-
stances led many people to sign petition
asking Gov. Fuller to release Kiblng. He
had served less than three years.

and asked the proprietor to heat a small
piece of iron pipe. Neddo placed the pipe

which broke the windows of the shop and

The recent conservation of three dea-

New York, marks new departure in the
Episcopal church. The plan of deacon

An Introduction to the study of French.

Professor l.. Charles Roux of Vermont
Academy has recently issued under the
title, Lies Premiers Pas an introduction
to the study of his native language, the
French, for the use of his own classes at
the academy, and for all beginners in
French who may wish to adopt it. The
work has the warm approval of so high an
authority as Prof. d. Coussirat, professor
of divinity in the Presbyterian college and
of the Semitic languages in McGill college,
Montreal, who says although | have
never taught French to English pupils, it
seems to me that your work attains its OBJ
iect. You render the first steps easy in the
study of our language. You make them
both attractive and easy. The rules are
clearly expressed, the examples are well
selected and often amusing. You say what
is essential without forgetting that your
book is but an introduction to more ardu-
Gus studies. l shall recommend with
pleasure these Premiers Pas to the masters
who teach French"

LIE Marinel says these troslodytes are known
as the Bena- Kambabo. Many Of their caves
are not inhabited. but are simply places Of
refuge. The openings are so carefully hidden
among the rocks or In the underbrush that It
is hardly possible to find them: but scores Of
inhabited caves are scattered like rabbit war

troRlodytes alone among his subjects have
for years defod his tax gatherers. The
Kings army several times marched against
them In vain. When their hills were invaded
the people simply retreated into the bowels of
the earth. Interior passages connect their
caves. and they can come to the light again far
from the place where they vanished into the
blackness OF their underground homes. LIE
