Points Picked Up About City Mills ana
Factories.
The great improvements OF enlarging
the steel plant at the lower Benwood
mill, with the big improvements under
Roadway, are being rapidly pushed to-
ward competition. The entire steel works
has been overhauled and the work has
been more rapid than expected, as in
five weeks now these repairs and i'm
movements shall be completed. The
machinery being put In is new and i'm
proved and by it the plants output will
be increased fully one-third. The two
large soaking pits have been greatly en-
larged and are now about completed.
The three immense cupalos have been
improved and raised eight feet. This
work is also being finished. The five
new cranes will soon be placed. One OF
the biggest Improvements being made
is the extension OF the table rolls from
ifty to one hundred and sixty feet In
length.
It Is reported IN Benwood, and from
good authority, that the nail mill at the
BenWoOd plant will again be started
soon. This authority gives it that by
the Oakland, Cal, nail mill being burn
ed down the Benwood mill will start to
aid In filling the California's plants or
ders. The lower mills iron nail depart
msnt has one hundred and twenty-four
machines, employs two hundred persons
aud has been idle two years last May.
An oak trestle five hundred feet long
TO the big iron yard at the lower Ben
wood mill is big Improvement. The
company has quite large force Of men
at this work, which will be finished In
two weeks. One place in the trestle il
was necessary TO place a strong iron
bridge fifty feet 50 length.
1t is very hot for the puddlers and
skelp mill men at the lower Benwood

WHO PAYS TEE TAX.


ISgthy editorial article to sho" that
the American consumer does not pay
the tariff tax.
ALLEN G.. THURMAN once SAID: "If
the consume, does not pay the tax in
the name OF God who does?"
Even the Intelligsncer will admit that
TO tax an article means to increase its
cost to the consumsF, whether the tax
Is an inte-asl revenue tax or tariff
tax Or imports from abroad. 1t must
admit, also. that in the latter case 1t
makes no difference how the tax is paid
or who pays Il at the custom house, the
price Of the taxed article is enhanced
TO that extent.
This much being admitted, who pays
the enhanced price If not the consumer
who buys the article?
Imports from Bermuda are so highly
taxed as TO almost prohibit their en-
trance into the United States. Hence
the plea Of the Bermuda representative
before the Ways and Means Committee,
that his people could not trade with
the United States at the present rate Of
tariff taxation on their products at
American ports.
His statement was that they could
not afford to pay the tax, but blind
man may see plainly that his meaning
was that the price Of the imports was so
enhanced to the American consumer as
e,ace them nearly out Of bis reach.
-. 'sn-prOdueers are not giving their
products away. and whether the formal
payment Of the tax is made by them or
by the American importers, as usual, at
the custom houses. tho difference must
In the end To paid By the hnal pur-
chaser, the consumer.
No one but the consumer pays the
tariff tax.

The sad Death OF Richard Lamb Robert


The funeral OF little Richard l.. Rob-
ertson, youngest child OF Zach F. and
Mary r. Robertson, will take place from
the residence of the family, on the Isl
and. this afternoon. The death OF this
child, In the manner In which ii was
brought about, was particularly sad
and affecting one, and the parents have
the sincere sympathy OF wide circle of
friends aud of the general public as
well. The little boy-a particularly
bright and promising child-had been
left by his mother for but a few min
utes, when he managed to get hold OF
some matches, and lighting them. his
clothing was set on FIRE. Burns Of a
serious nature over the region OF the
stomach resulted, and despite all that
medical skill could DO, death ensued as
has been narrated in this paper. To
lose child by death is always terrible
thing, but under such circumstances as
obtain Is this case IL is doubly sad, and
excited the sympathy OF all.

IT is painful and humiliating TO
record that a prizefght occurred in
the Worlds Fair grounds 1t was,
we are told. an adjourned affair, the
police having driven the ''pugs" out
OF north side resort ThereupOn
the brutes In chief and some 200 OF
their accessories adjourned to the
Worlds Fair grounds, paid their fare
at the gates and boldly marched TO
the Stock Pavilion, where they were
permitted TO finish their brutal exhi
billion. All this, OF course, took place
under cover OF darkness, but IL could
never have occurred without the con-
nivance OF servants OF the Colum bian
Worlds Fair, and presumably OF Co.
lumbar guards Indeed, we are in.
formed that Imber OF these guards
not only permitted but witnessed the
"mill." These persons were, OF
course, accessories TO a crime, and
the Worlds Fair directory can clear
itself OF the same grave responsibility
only by searching out the uniformed
ana other offenders and handing them
over TO the law.

Georgie's Promise.

George was a small boy, as we'll
behaved as small boys commonly are,
but impulsive He had been allowed
TO sit in his high chair at the family
table, and one day, having satisfied
his hunger, he suddenly threw his
knife with all his strength across the
table at his father.
Fortunately it fell short, and no
particular harm was done, but it
seemed tt opportunity for the in
culcation OF lesson. When the
rest Of the family arose he was de-
tained, and his mother essayed TO i'm
press upon him the enormity OF his
offense.
For a while the effort seemed hope
less, but at length there were signs
OF appreciation, and with quivering
lip, he cried out: "Georgie'll never
throw knife at papa again; throw
fork!"-New York Times.

THE fact that hotels OF less than
four stories in Chicago are not re-
CURED TO be equipped with fire es-
capes Is an open confession that fire
traps are maintained in that city with
its consent. This is bad showing for
a city that wants all the world for its
guests. Every one OF the tinder-
boxes that have shot up there and
opened as hotels during the Worlds
Fair season should be required to pro-
vide every possible means Of safety
or close their doors.

II is proposed to make the insur-

Says the London Spectator: We

Injuries those who adopt it after being
accustomed to flesh diet. A man may
eat garden stuff all day and not get
the sustenance which he will obtain
out of a comparatively small quantity
of beans, millet or wheat Economy
is the unquestionable "pull"of vegeta-
rianism, and we should say the only
one, though the practice does not di-
minish strength in anything like the
proportion which hesh-eaters imagine.
They confuse strength and energy,
and forget that the mass of mankind
never can, or will, get anything but
the cereals and other vegetables TO
eat. To abandon flesh diet is not to
advance, but only to go back TO tho
involuntary practice Of the majority
Of the uncivilized.

A Witty Answer.

Those whose mission in life Is TO
entertain the public are always pes
tered by friends and acquaintances
for free seats at their entertainments
There probably never was a singer or
an actor or pianist who was not
bored nearly TO death by these peo-
pie, many Of whom had not the
slightest claim to ask the courtesy
they demanded.
A pianist who was pre-eminently
successful in his day, and that was
not far back either, was Rubinstein,
who Travelled nearly the whole world
over, delighting people with his
genius He like all others, was very
much annoyed by requests for COM
plimentary tickets, but most Of the
time he maintained his composure
even though justly irritatcd. 1t is
told Of him that just before one of
his recitals ia London he was accosted
by an old lady In the entrance hall,
and thus addressed;
"Oh, Mr.. Rubinstein, / am so glad
to see you! / have tried in vain to
purchase ticket. Have you a seat
you could let me have?"
MADAM" said the great pianist,
'there is but one seat at nv disposal,
and that you are welcome to, If you
think fit To take it."
'Oh, yes; thousand thanks.
Where is it," was the excited reply.
''At the piano." sIAilingly repeated

An American citizen who immigrated
from Germany when he was fourteen
years old, has just learned, relates the
New York News, that the German gov
ernment has confiscated II legacy left
to him by an uncle, and that he cannot
have his money without first rendering
military service to Germany. The
1egatee lives in Wisconsin, and he Mt
tanned citizenship through the natural
ization of his father. If he should
now go to Germany in quest of his
money, he would probably be arrested
and forced into the army. Cases anal
ogous to this one have occurred be-
fore, and Germany has always stoutly
maintained the right to exact military
service regardless of foreign natur-
alization. In the case of boy Of
fourteen, however, far below the mill
tary age, such claim is preposterous.

Wild Camels I'm Arizona.

Wild camels have lately been re-
ported in Arizona, and there has been
some speculation as to their origin.
They were imported nearly forty
years ago, when jefferson Davis was
Secretary Of War under the Pierce
administration. 1t was thought they
would be valuable for use in the
"Great American Desert" which was
commonly supposed to be something
like the desert OF Arabia and Of Sa-
hara in Africa. They were found
serviceable, but, the war coming on,
they were lost sight of, became wild,
and have considerably increased in
numbers. 1t is said that the camel
endures extreme cold better than ex-
treme heat. It's only advantage for
hot. desert countries being that it
can drink at once enough water to
last two or three days. The camel is
said To be more effective worker
in many places than the horse or
mule. It's feet will not stand hard
roads, and it can, therefore, never be
used for farming purposes except in
wild, uncultivated districts.

Now THERE has been invented a
new bicycle to be propelled by steam
generated from oil or gasoline. 1t
will be a light affair and the rider
can enjoy the ride, the scenery, and
the breezes without the exertion now
required and without danger OF the
disease which is now said to result
from this pastime. 1t is TO be hoped
that the new machine will be nom
explosive. 1t would be an unpleas-
ant thing to see the streets and
boulevards bc strewn with sectional
bicyclists too much scattered to be
successfully rcarranged. In the in-
terest of public safety the wheelmen
should he positively forbidden to blow
themselves up.
