THE EVENING NEWS.

THE News today resumes its for
er size of FIVE columns to the page
In beginning the New Year The
NEWS desires to return its thanks to
its numerous friends and patrons and
makes them the promise now, that it
will give more news during
this year than any paper ever pub.
lished in Waco. The telegraph ar
rangements which we thought were
completed about three weeks ago
failed then, but they go into effect
next Monday, January 4th. Begin.
ming that day THE News will con-
tain the full early morning
telegraph report of 5000 words and
will also contain the full afternoon
associated press report of from 1000
to 1000 words. This will give it
nearly eight columns of telegraphic
news-more than has ever been
published by any paper in Waco.
If the business of the paper justl-
fies the change, it will be again en-
larged to the size it maintained dur
ing the month of December, but
whether it is larger or smaller it will
contain all the news and
this is what the people want. Its
local columns will.receive the undivided
attention of two frst-class news gath.
erers, and the citizens Of Waco will
find that it is the best newspaper they
have ever read.

To Decorate "a Church.

When flowers or other bright decora-
tons are hard to obtain most pleasing
substitute is afforded by the cones OF
pine or Norway spruce. These in their
natural color are very pretty, but their
effect can be greatly heightened by
bronzing or gliding them. The liquid
gold paints sold by all dealers in artists
goods are cheap and produce good re
suits. Apply two coats so that the
cone will be well covered. A cluster of
them, shining against a background of
dark green, will stand out brilliantly by
lamplight. For good deal of the dec
orative work about arches over the al
tar and in the making of crosses and
similar designs they are much prefera-
BILE to flowers or fruit, as they are more
in harmony with the evergreens among
which they are used.
Provided your gliding is good, most
pleasing results can be secured by Civ
ing cones,such a covering. Try it, and
you will be sure to be pleased with this
new method. 1t is always well to re-
member that artistic effects do not de-
pend upon elaborate designs. The sim
plest decorations, especially in church
altar, are ofttimes the most effective,
and where taste is used rather than
quantity success is as a rule far more
certain.-Eben E. Rexford in Ladies'
Home Journal.

THE FREE COINAGE SCARE.

1t is not the fear of too much silver
money that makes Eastern money
centers solid againg free COMA age OF
silver. 1t is the fear that the treasury
department in its efforts to maintain a
parity between the gold and silver
dollar would be forced to seek mar.
ket iu Europe for the bonds necessary
for the maintenance Of tits parity.
The secretary Of the treasury has the
power, rather he is commanded by the
act of congress, July IA, 1890, to issue
United States treasury gold bonds at
not more than D per cent. interest in
sufficient volume to maintain a parity
between gold and silver.
These bonds could, and doubtless
would be sold in England, the treas.
urer receiving therefor Bank Of En-.
gland notes which are convertible
into gold coin and by that means gold
enough would be imported to main
tain the party. 1t is not that the
manipulators of fnan CO are afraid
there will be too mu,h money in the
country. They wa mt more money
themselves. 1t is the desire to con.
troll the credit of the country that
makes them frantic when there is a
promise of any leg islation which may
drive American securities abroad,
This is evidenced by the fact that no
objection is urged to free coinage if
by international agreement a uniform
ratio Is established.

snnirrels Hid the Nuts.

In the North woods one season there
were two parties camping a little dis
lance apart. One party carried into
the woods bag filled with filberts,
almonds and other nuts. He hung the
bag up where he thought it would be
safe, and the next day visited my friend
and his associates in the other camp,
being absent from his own camp two
or three days. When he returned my
friend went back with him, and on the
way was told of the treat in store for
him in the shape of nuts. Upon reach.
ing the camp, however, a hole was
found in the top of the bag and every
nut gone.
1t was supposed the squirrels had
carried them off to their homes in the
woods, and nothing more was thought
of it till the next day, when my friend
went to put on a pair of rubber boots,
hanging up in another part of the
camp, and in these boots were all the
puts nicely stored away by the squir,
rels for winter use.-Interview in Utica
Observer.

Governor Bill Sterett says tariff re-
form is all right with the present
organization of the house at Washing
ton. Slerett's attitude reminds THE
News of the lrishman who sat upon
the roadside drunk, while voracious
COW stood near him chewing his
coat. A stranger passed and called
Paddy telling him of the fate of his
garment, whereupOn he replied: Will
ye phase mind yer own business2
Faith and I'm not watching the
critter? 1t may not be Bill Sterett's
coat the congressional COW is chewing
but it is garment worn for years
very gracefully by the papers he rep
resents.

Ingredients Of Manufactured Rubber.

Ingredients of Manufactured Rubber.
When we were boys a blow on the
head from rubber ball was matter
of no consequence, but now the rubber
balls played with by children are so
hard that if thrown with sufficient VIC
lence they can cause serious injury, il
not death. This is because in the rush
for low prices "A number of ingredients
have been introduced into rubber to
such an extent that absolutely pure
rubber is now something more easily
imagined than found. Ordinary black
rubber, which is hard to the touch,
contains a considerable quantity of lead
in various forms, while the white rub

quite a large percentage of zinc.
Rubber that is transparent is fire.
quently prepared with gun cotton. 1t
is difficult to imagine which of these
three ingredients is the most objection
able, and people who have habit of
chewing rubber need not be surprised
if very unpleasant feelings result. OF
course rubber adulterated with mineral
matter is less elastic than the simon
pure article, and it is no longer possible
to stretch pair of overshoes as it used
to be.
The same thing is apparent in rubber
used 10 machinery. Not many years
ago a three ply belt was considered
strong enough for any purpose, whereas
now six ply has frequently to be used.
The six ply does not cost so much as
the old three ply used to, but on a
question of cheapness in the long run
it is probable the old high priced, pure
article came out ahead. Interview in
st. Louis Globe Democrat.

A friend of Col. Mills has just re-
ceived letter from him stating that
the reports that he had been at deaths
door was absolutely false. He had
not been even seriously sick although
confined to his room. Mr.. Mills
states that he was overworked in the
fall canvass and was sick when the
speakership contest began but bore up
until it was over. He will in a few
days be able to resume his duties in
the house.

In Blaine's reciprocity treaty with
the British West Indias, eggs are put
on the free list. The American hen
will hereafter have to compete with
the pauper hens of Jamaica, Barba-
does and other like countries. If it
will make hens lay two eggs where she
only laid one before, reciprocity will
not be entirely a failure.
