ANOTHER RISE
WILL LIKELY OCCUR IN fHE NEXT iEW
HOURS
A Steady RAN All Last Night-The Water Re-
ssdsd but Slowly a; This Point Yesterday.
Lots Of Ice Went 01L

Late last night rivermen were look
ing for another rise in the river
The rain which set in yesterday aft
ernoon was general throughout the
region drained by the head waters OF
the Ohio, and although the upper rly-
ers were falling last night, they will
likely all be on the up grade again this
morning. The barometer fell rapidly
here last evening, dropping about IA OF
an inch In about three hours, when IN
dicated the rain would hold out IOr
some time, and that 10 extended over
wide area.
The river fell very leisurely yester-
day, the twenty-four hours ending at ;
O'Clock last night showing drop rom
the highest notch Of the treshet OF OUT
four and one-haH feet, there being ~
feet inches by the wharf marks al halI-
past seven last night This Is an eIe-
CANT foundation for another Hood 70

reason for thankfulneSs that there Is no
more snow about headwaters 10 come
out
At eight O'Clock last night kilograms
from above said there were Z ieet
inches az MorgantOwn, 6 feet az Oll
CITY, /, feet so Brownsville and 10 feet
NJ Pittsburg. The water was railing al
each of these points, but 10 was raining
at all the points named.
At one o'clock this morning the marks
were 2S feet ; inches, total fall OF .
feet 10 inches from the highest point
Wednesday evening, or az the rate OF
2I5 inches an hour for IS hours, count
from 9 o. m. Wednesday night From
balf-past four yesterday afternoon 70
hali-past seven -aSt night the iall was
NJ the rate Of three inches per hour;
from half past seven until eleven 10 was
at the rate of three and three-fourth
inches per hour, aud from eleven p. 10.
until one a. m. the fan was at the rate
two and half inches per hour, and the
same from one o'clock until three. Al
three o'clock this morning 1t was still
raining.
Ice ran past this city all Of Wednes-
day night, and 10 was particularly heavy
between one aud four o'clock yesterday
morning. The fact that the river was
falling threw the ice 70 the Island shore,
: and a very large amount lodged on the
low ground along the upper part
OF the Island. II it is not carried
away by the current later, some Of the
residents along North Front street will
have ice handy for some distance into
the spring.
Business was quite active along the
wharf yesterday, the Hudson, Ben Hur
and other boats arriving with biz car
goes. and as soon as the river drops
sufficiently 20 allow the boats 70 pass
under the bridges with a little more
ease, there will be a great rush OF bust
ness all along the upper river.

DIR. MnAsTER's NEW HOSPITAL.
A Large Number Of Guests at the De-
uFhtfuI Reception Yesterday.

nghtfGl Reception Yesterday.
The opening day 81 the reception
given by DR.. r. O. NcMaSter, at his
home, or rather his new hospital, on
Chapline street, yesterday, was largely
attended, Notwithstanding the disagree
able weather that all day prevailed
The hours of reception were from
three TO ten p. M, and during all this
time there were more or less callers on
the scene. The host Of the occasion,
DR.. McMasters, was ever present on
the scene, with the exception OF one or
two very urgent calls outside, and was
assisted in the dispensing Of hospitality
by his wife, and also his interesting
daughter, Miss Mamie McMaster.
The other members Of the receiving
party consisted Of Mrs. f. II. LANCE,
Mrs. J. n. Vance, Mrs. DR.. Best, Miss
MarkwoOd, of Keyser, Mineral county,
Miss Zoe Mcclure, Mrs. Joseph Speidel,
Mrs. John List, aud Mrs. John Mcclure.
All assisted 10 guiding the guests
through the various apartments, aud
explaining the uses and purposes. 1t is
undoubtedly one Of the h8ndSOmest and
most finely equipped private hospitals
In this section of the country, IL is
large and cOmm1diouS within, is well
lighted and heated by the most aD-
proved plans, and is throughout ar
ranged and furnished according to the
latest ideas OF medical science.
There Is p large dOrmit0ry well sup
piled with beds, also a large number OF
private rooms for patients, all Of which
are neatly aud substantially furnished,
and becOmiEgly adorned. Nearly all are
furnished i'm white and gold and the
effect under the electric light is peculi-
arly attractive. There are large hall
ways on every floor, and n passenger ell
evatOr from basement 20 attic. The
surgical room on the third floor is
one OF the great features OF the hospital.
When one first enters the effect is be-
wildering. Ii is all furnished in polished
marble, the room being circular in
shape and lighted by electric incaudeS-
cents placed al intervals on the ceiling
and the walls. The brightlight and its
reflection In the marble makes won
derfully pretty effect. In the center OF
the room is a large adjustable surgical
lounge, while arrayed about the room
are all the latest requirements IN sur
gerry.
On the first floor, as one enters, is the
patients reception parlOr, very cosy
and handsomely furnished apartment,
and adorned with nUmber Of cleverly
executed flower pieces from the brush
of Miss McMaSter On the first floor is
Aalso the general reception room, the
aispensary, kitchen and the Doctor
(Tate Office. The residence is in the
b end Of the building, and il was

When John Jacob Astor died in 1s4S
worth SOS, 900, 600 he left $4,000, 900
more than the richest American before
him. But In the last ten years At least
two men, w. Il. Vanderbilt and the
second John Jacob Aston, have died
with fortunes twice that size, and John
D. Rockefeller is ordinarily estimated
to be also worth 100000, 600. 1t is es-
timated that there are only seven
American fortunes Of over $50, 100000,
Huntington, Sage, William Rockefeller,
Stanford, Mrs. Green and William As

1t is curious to nots that Cornell Uni
versity, with IS, 900, 600 endowment and
an income of some $500, 900, is becoming
much hampered for funds, says the
New York Commercial Advertiser. The
explanation of this is that by the terms
of it's charter it must educate free OF
charge $50 students from the State Of
New York In consideration OF the land
grant which it received when founded.
The new president of Cornell, President
Schurman, estimates the cost Of this
free education to the university at
S15O,OOO a year; that is, its income
would be increased by nearly third II
all students paid for their tuition. In
view of the fact, however, that the uni
versity has recently purchased the law
library of the late Judge Moke fors15o,-
600, 1t is probable Cornell will be able to
null along a little while on its weekly
allowance OF $4,000.

THE EXCHANGE CORNER.

In manufacturing glass for limitations
of precious stones the processes, en-
ployed have to be conducted with the
utmost nicely. For making even the
best mirror the necessary silica is OBJ
tanned from ordinary white quartz,
while common widow panes are pro-
duced from sea sand 10 large extent;
but in this case rock crystal is snost-
tuted, composing about 80 per cent OF
the ingredients of the paste. To it
must be addee 25 per cent OF carbonate
of soda and due proportions
of calcned boraX, saltpeter,
and red lead. All OF these things, says
the Washington Star are reduced to
the finest powder, mixed, fused to-
gether by heat in crucible and cooled
slowly. Thus made. it is all ready to
be cut up into diamonds and prepared
for market. Surprising that one wants
rubies, he fuses with paste small
quantity of peroxide OF manganese and
a trace of Cassius purple, which VIII
give the proper color. For emeralds he
employs in like manner oxide OF iron
and for sapphires oxide Of cobalt.
Topaz is easily formed in the crucible
by mixing with 1000 parts OF paste,
forty parts of glass Of anthony and
part of Cassius purple.
For manufacturing other kinds OF
gems there are methods equally SIMPLIFY
OF course none of these imitation pre-
cious stones has the chemical constitu-
ton, hardness, specific gravity or optt-
cal properties Of the real ones. Accord
ingly, their falseness is readily per-
ceived by an expert. Inasmuch as the
elements OF which various gems are
composed are well known, synthetic
chemistry has attempted to reproduce
them by putting the ingredients to-
gether and effect disqualification IN the
laboratory. In this way large masses
of what might be termed true ruby and
sapphire are turned out artiicially, such
gem-like material having some useful
ness for industrial purposes, although
lacking the bri!liancy of natures pro-
ducts.

The women of to-day should be deep
ly learned in Egyptology, as there is
much in recent developments to show
that woman was very highly regarded
in those ancient times. We find them
acting as regents during the minority
of their sons. They transacted bust
ness and bequeathed their property.
Deeds of gifts have been found by a
mother to her daughter, and another In
which a mother transfers her property
TO her daughter on certain conditions.
Then there is the famous Queen Hatasu,
most brilliant woman and remark
able builder.
The oldest known fragment OF Homer
pillowed the head of yonng woman
who was doubtless buried with her IA
vorite poet as TennysOn OF our own
time was buried with his. There is
every indication that the higher educa-
ton OF women was duly considered and
il no evidences Of cO.education exist 1t
is doubtless because those ancient peo-
p!e were much too wise to attempt IL.
That women possessed tact aud de-
lightful manner of ordering their homes
is inferred from. the fact that. all the
portraits and statues OF Egyptian men
represent them with particularly
happy and good natured expression.

The English press seems to be
very well satisfied with the action
taken by Che house of representa-
tiyes IN reference to silver. Eng
lish holders Of American bonds are
anxious to receive payment in an
appreciated currency. The dollar
which they invested twenty years
ago and which has been on inter-
est ever since will buy today more
than twice as much of the necess-
aries of life AS it would at the time
of investment and they are seeking
to still further increase the pur-
chasing power of the dollar by wip-
ing out of existence one-half of the
circulating medium of the world.
Strange to say a majority of our
Legislators are ready to assist them
in doing it, and we claim to be an
Independent and intelligent peo-
pie.

THE republican party has al
ways been the party of protection
and the manufacturers of the east
have grown rich through the OPP
erations Of the protective policy
of that party. They never asked
for legislation at the hands of the
republican party that they did not
get it. Now hat the silver men
of the west want some Legislation
in favor of silver. not that the sill
yer miners alone may be benefit
ted, but that the whole country
may feel the beneficial effects, the
republicans of the east and most
of them in the west turn a deaf
ear to the cry for free silver. The
republican party is working in the
interest of the millionaire manu-
facturers Of the east and not in
the interest of tho miners and
farmers Of the west. That party
has taxed the farmers and miners
for twenty-five years to support
the manufacturers, but the people
of the west are beginning to see
through the game. Hereafter the
republican party need not look to
the west for support of its candi-
dates OF principals.

The silver question is not a po-
litical question, but it appears
that silver has few friends among
the republicans. OF those voting
for the free and unlimited coinage
of silver at ratio of 16 to l in the
house of representatives last week,
there were 100 democrats and IL
republicans, that is to say there
were about eight times as many
democrsts in favor of silver asthere
were republicans.
Southwest-sentinel. [volume] (Silver City, N.M.) 1883-189?, 1893-09-05

New ENGLAND, New York and
New Jersey were solidly opposed
to the free and unlimited coinage
of silver when the vote was taken
in the house last week. The fnan-
cial stringency has not taught the
people back there anything yet.
They are pretty thick headed but
it is possible that the idea that
the stringency is caused by a scar
city of money will get into their
heads in the course of time, and
that they will be in favor of the
free and unlimited coinage of sill
yer.

TIE two great states Of New
York and Pennsylvania cast one
vote in favor Of the free and UNI
limited coinage Of silver at a ratio
of 16 to / last week Those Two
states have a population Of more
than ten millions or about one
sixth Of the entire population of
the country and among the
representatives from these states
there was but one mar who had
the courage to vote for the free
and unlimited coinage Of silver.
His name is Sibley and he is a
democrat from the 18th district Of
Pennsylvania. All honor to Sib-
ley.

Delegate Joseph has prepared
another bill providing for the adj
mission of New Mexico TO the
Union. In many respects the
bill is similar to the one which
was introduced at the last con-
gress and which passed the house
Of representatives by an almost
unanimous vote. The number of
delegates TO the constitutional con-
vention is the same as was provid-
ed for in the last bill and the man.
ner Of selecting them is the
same.
The bill provides that the con-
stitutional convention shall as
semble on the first Monday Of
December, 1894, and the constitu-
ton which shall be framed by the
convention shall be submitted to a
vote of the people on the Tuesday
after the first Monday in April,
1896.
If this bill be passed by this
congress, it will be more than a
year and a half before New Mexi-
co can possibly be admitted to the
union. This seems to be a longer
delay than Is necessary under the
circumstances, but perhaps it will
be soon enough after all. There
is no doubt but that the house OF
representatives will pass the bill
at an early date by a large major
ity and it may be expected that
the bill will receive different treat
ment in the senate than was re-
ceived by the last bill which fell
into the hands of an adverse COM
mittee. Then the senate was re-
publican and the republican men,
bers of that body did not appear
to be anxious to take any action
which might reduce the then re-
publican majority. Now that they
have lost control of the senate
they may not be so averse to the
admission of the Territory.
There is yet considerable oppo-
sition to statehood among the res
idents of New Mexico, but it is
not SO strong as it was at the time
the constitution was voted down
some years ago. The vote on that
instrument has been taken as an
expression of the people of the
Territory on the statehood ques.
ton, when in reality it was moth.
ing of the sort. That document
was prepared by republicans and
received the almost united opposi.
ton of the democratic party il
the Territory in addition to the
republicans who were opposed t.
statehood at that time.
There is no doubt but that there
is a majority of the residents O
New Mexico in favor of the adj
mission of the Territory into tn,
union and who would vote 70.
statehood if the opportunity wer,
offered. There ought to be al
enthusiastic meeting in favor o
statehood at Albuquerque thi
month in order to show the feel
ing of the people of the Territor!
on this question.
Southwest-sentinel. [volume] (Silver City, N.M.) 1883-189?, 1893-09-05

The silver convention which
will meet at Albuquerque in two
weeks will not be a ratification
meeting over the passage of a free
coinage bill, as some of the friends
of silver had hoped that it would
be, but there will be room for a
great deal Of work for the cause
Of silver there. Now is the time
to put in some good work for sill
yer.
