CHEAPER THAN COPPER.
Discoveries cf a Duluth Chemist to
Revolutionize Use of Aluminium.

DULUTH, Mimi, Aug. 23.-some
weeks ago the patent Office authorities
sent to this city a chemical expert on
an application for patent for new
process of obtaining aluminium from
its oxide. The process is claimed to
include chemical combination hereto
fore supposed to be impossible, and on
this ground the application for patent
had been rejected, the method being
termed imperative. Three entirely
satisfactory tests were made by the
government chemist and he returned to
Washington. A copy of his report to
the patent Office was received here a
day or two ago. After detailing the
tests, all made by himself, he states
that the process is operative, that it is
possible, and that it appears to be
almost perfect in its results in obtain
ing the entire aluminium value of the
oxide. A patent will be granted very
shortly.
The discoverer of this process and his
Duluth associates claim that they can
produce pure aluminium at price con-
siderably below that of any of the cleo
trical processes and at price that will
make it considerably cheaper, bulk for
bulk, than copper.
Experiments have been under way
here, where the clay is rich in alumina.
for much over year looking toward
the perfection of the process referred
to, which was first discovered by a
German chemist with friends in this
city. 1t is proposed, after patents are
issued, to begin the manufacture of
chemical aluminium from the alumina,
which is believed to be cheaper than to
work up the clays here. Considerable
capital has already been interested in
the project.

Green Groceries Looted.
MILWAUKEE, Aug 23.-Fifteen hun
dred unemployed workingmen in the
morning made demonstration, and
serious trouble was stopped only by
prompt action of the police. and then
only after the mob had pilfered from
the street green groceries, etc. At l
p. m. motley assemblage, comprising
mainly day laborers who have thus far
found employment working upon the
streets and digging cellars and similar
work, gathered in courthouse park and
called for Mayor Koch, and commit
tee of four was selected to talk with
him. August Reicert acted as spokes.
man. Addressing the mayor he said:
"We want you to look after the street
contractors" Then he branched
into a TRADE against the manner in
which the contractors treated the men.
I'VE are not oxen" he said, land if we
work we want to be paid"
The mayor advised the men to dis
perse, saying the city contract work
would be ali right III two weeks, as
soon as the city could get money, the
city's money now being tied up in
failed banks. The men then started a
parade down the street, attempting to
break into stores and taking fruits and
vegetables from stands on the street
and eating them. The police finally
dispersed them with severe clubbing.

TOPEKA, Kan, Aug. 23.-Telegrams
received here show that the threats
made by President Walters of the coal
miners union, to prevent miners. going
to work at Frontenac, in the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad COM
pany's mines were not idle. At meet
ing held in Frontenac Sunday he said
that the strikers should not carry out
the contract made with the company
until it has been sanctioned by the
union. He declared then that he would
bring 1900 men to Frontenac to drive
all persons from the mines The first
company of the 1000 men, 50 in num-
ber, arrived at Frontenac Monday
night and went into camp at the mines
At a. m. 300 more of Walters men
arrived from Weir City and Pittsburg
and went into camp. The manager of
the mine called on the sheriff of Craw-
ford county, who deputized as many
merchants and professional men as he
could find before day ybreak, and started
for the scene of the threatened battle.
Guns were telegraphed for to all
of the neighboring towns by Man
ager Wilson, who is in charge
OF the Santa Fe mines, and every pos
sible preparation was made to protect
miners who desire to resume work.
The sheriff is handicapped in getting
men sufficient to cope with Walters
crowd, and if the threatened clash
should come he will be compelled to
ask the governor for the militia.
Thirty men went to work in the mines
at o'clock, but the presenceof Walters
and his crowd prevented large major
ity signing the agreement Two hun
dred were ready to go into the pits, but
they were prevented from doing so by
Walters and his mob.
The company will resist with all the
force that it is able to muster any at
tempt on the part Of the strikers to
move upon the company's property,
and unless Walters backs down from
his present warlike attitude bloodshed
will certainly result.

MRS WILLIAM SHIELDS.

Bridget Lavelle, wife of William Shields, died at her home in this village last Monday afternoon after an illness of five days with pneumonia. She was born at Westport, Ireland, in Decem- Der, 1881. At the age of 13 years she came to America, accompanied by her cousin Mary Nolan (who was John Rysn's first wife) and by her brother Thomas Lavelle. Thomas was taken sick with chip fever and died in Belle vue Hospital, and thus Bridget and Mary were left alone in New York city, strangers in strange land.
 Bridget Lavelle came to Canaan over 43 years ago, and on Nov. 9. 1851, was married to William Shields at the TransfguratioE church in New York city, by the Rev Fr O'Neil. During the first two years after their marriage Mir and Mrs Shields lived in the West but since then have resided in Canaan.
 Besides her husband, the deceased leaves three sons and two daughters. She also leaves brother, living in Chi cago; sister in Orange, N. J.; and a sister in Dalton, Mass. A large circle of warm friends in Canaan and vicinity will also mourn her loss. The funeral will be attended at St Joseph's church this Crhursday) morning at 10 o'clock.
