Reclaiming Old Rubber.

Crude rubber is worth from 40 to rs
cents per pound, and yet pound of hose
or packing costs very much less. This
would be hardly practical if it were not
for the advances that have been made in
the art of reclaiming or recovering rub
ber, which can be done at the total cost
of about cents per pound. There are
several large factories in the country de-
voted solely to this purpose, and great
many manufacturers do recovering on a
small scale at the seat of the production
of new goods.
These old goods are placed in large
tanks at the place of retaining A So
luton of muriatic or sulphuric acid and
water is poured upon the waste, and the
whole set to boiling by system of steam
pipes passing through the tank. After
10 or IL hours boiling the cotton fiber,
which is found in all rubber manufac-
lures and which is the serious drawback
in the retaining process, disintegrates
and falls into powder, and there is no
difficulty then in the use of the waste

Queer Tastes In Eating.

In a popular restaurant the other day
at lunch took up what 1 supposed was
a saltbox to sprinkle my roast beef and
was startled by the sudden exclamation
of the waiter, "That's sugar" This led
to a conversation in which the waiter
said that in an establishment where he
had been employed an old gentleman
came in regularly at least three times a
week and ordered a sirloin steak we'll
broiled, upon which he always poured q
liberal portion of New Orleans molasses.
Another waiter said that on one occa-
sion a young man had ordered powdered
sugar and two dozen oysters and that
he had literally sprinkled the sugar on
the oysters before he ate them. A COM
panion accompanied him and watched
the performance, and the waiter said he
believed it was the result of a bet. I
myself recall lad who attended board
ing school with me, and who invariably
put powdered sugar on his soft boiled
eggs.-New York Press.

California Names Ending In o.

Attention has not been called, we be-
ieve, to one peculiarity-that is, the
number of geographical names in Cali
fornia which end with o. In this respect
this state must be awarded the champion
ship medal, as brief inspection of any
list of names of places will show. First,
among the 5S counties of California there
are no less than IA which end with the
round letter. They are Ell Dorado, Fres-
no, Inyo, Mendocino, Mono, Sacramento,
San Benito, San Bernardino, San Diego.
San Francisco, San Luis Obispo, San
Mateo, Solano and Yolo. 1t is to be OBJ
served that only portion of these are
named from masculine saints in the
Spanish calendar, Fresno, Inyo, Mono,
6olano and others being presumably In
dian names, though the termination may
have been put on by the early Spanish
settlers. When we come to towns in
California whose names end in o, their
name is legion. There are, among others,
Acampo, Alamo, Bernardo, Blanco, Cah-
to, Capistrano, Decoto, Echo, Ell Casco,
Frnto, Igo, Jacinto, Largo, Llano, Milo,
Moreno, Navarro, Nicasio, Ono, Paler-
mo, Philo, Rialto, Sausalito, Tropico,
Venado and Volcano.
In the compilation of this imperfect
catalogue the towns and cities named for
saints have been omitted, as the list
would be entirely too long, running from
San Antonio through most OF. the letters
of the alphabet to San Ysidro. There is
said to be reason for all things, and it
is not unlikely that the names given by
the early and pious Spanish settlers to
their settlements may have sounded
pleasant to the gringos who came after
them and have influenced them, perhaps
nnconsciously, to confer upon their own
mining camps and villages and towns
names ending with the letter o.-San
Francisco Chronicle.

Money In Wall Street.

New Workers are noted for being
scramblers after money. But they are
Just as remarkable for the risks they
take with it when they get it. A man
went through Wall street to the ferry
one day last week with 100000 in the
pocket of his overcoat. He had an UNI
brella in one hand and cigar between
the fingers of the other. 1t would not
have required an expert pickpocket to
relieve him of his wealth. Yesterday lad
was sent to banking house to deposit
certified check for $65, 900. He went along
swinging it in his hand. In front of the
bank he stopped and tried to balance the
check on the end of his nose. No one
would have believed that what he had
was anything but worthless scrap of
paper.-New York Times.

A Singular Accident.

A cyclist was riding on an old fash
ioned, ordinary machine, the wooden
handles of which were missing, leaving
the iron spikes exposed, He dismounted,
but in starting the machine he missed
the pedal, and the bicycle falling he
fell on top of it, and one of the handle
spikes entering his left breast and pene-
trating right through to the heart, came
out at his back just under the shoulder
blade. He died soon after being taken
to the hospital.-Whole Family.

Horrible Murder.

Columbus has on hand mysterious
murder, which also has some local inter-
est, in the fact that the murdered man
formerly lived in Barnesville. The vic
TINS name was Frank Shepherd. He
had recently graduated from the State
University, and was preparing for the
ministry. On Thursday night he took a
walk, as was his custom, and nothing
further is known of him until his dead
body was discovered in burning straw
stack several miles out of the city. His
skull showed that it had been crushed
and it is presumed that he had been
murdered, and placing the body in the
straw stack and setting the stack on fire
was done to hide the evidences of the
crime. One theory is that he was MUIR
dered under the supposition that he had
money, the other that he was mistaken
for another man. His body was badly
burned.

Shot Both


The following comes from Cambridge:
Saturday evening Henry S. Butler, his
wife and aunt, passed through this place,
in wagon from GAINESVILLE to Martins
Ferry. They stopped one mile east of
town to camp for the night, and during
the rain storm about IL o'clock the wom-
Ell took shelter in bridge near by, while
Butler looked after the team. George Nc
Manaway and Wm Bernard, came along
intoxicated, and Bernard assaulted Mrs.
Butler. The other woman ran away
from the men, The woman's husband
told the men to go away. After finding
moral suasion was of no avail Butler
walked around to the rear of the wagon
and took a revolver from his trunk and
shot both men, McManaway in the thigh,
aud Bernard in the breast near the
shoulder and then came to town and gave
himself up to the Sheriff, and his wife
swore out a warrant for Bernard for as
sault. The woman was roughly handled,
and was part of the time unconscious.

1t is always safe to nominate the strongest

to nominate any other kind. A man who

Many Italians, Hungarians and Bohe-

return. Their labor is cheap, but even
with its cheapness employers find that it
does not pay. These people have been
employed mostly in mining and the
rougher kinds of work, and being now
out of employment are going to their
homes across the water. The country is
better rid of them, and it would be well
for us if emigration from Southern Eu
rope should cease entirely.

Lifelong Democrats who declare that
they have voted with that party for the
last time are becoming numerous in
nearly every locality. Politics is largely
matter of business and men can no
longer be held in a party whose acts are
against their financial interests. Intelli-
gent farmers will not vote the Democratic
ticket and take 20 cents for their wool,
when by voting the Republican ticket
and helping the latter party into power
they can get 10 cents more per pound for
their wool Workingmen whose wages
have been reduced twenty or thirty per
cent. look at it in the same way. 1t is
purely matter of business.

PENCIL POINTERS.

Hoke Smiths pension purging policy is
as clearly absurd and illegal as it is mig
gardly and unpatriotic. 1t may not per
haps be expected that Georgia cracker
should view old Union soldiers with any
very exalted feeling of respect, but it
may be expected that lawyer who has
been put into such an eminent position
should act according to law. The sus-
pension of pensions granted under the
act of 1890 is as unfounded In law as it is
in justice 1t is clearly settled rule OF
administrative practice that the Of
fetal acts of a pension administration
are final SO far as the execution is con-
cerned. This rnle has been repeatedly
reaffirmed by Attorneys General and by
the Supreme Court. The pensions sus-
pended by Smith come under this rule.
No fraud is alleged. 1t is not charged
that the laws requirements have not
been complied with. H. Smith merely
interprets the law as suits his Bourbon
Judgment, and then makes that interpre-
tation applicable to the acts of his pre-
decessor, who had the same latitude as
himself. Smiths course is unfair and
can only be inspired by the narrow and
yindictive feelings natural to natural
enemy of the Grand Army of the Repub'
lie.
