The old and New Method of Making Glove,


Rock ISLAND, Aug. 14.-The early
process of making gloves differed
greatly from that practiced at the
present time. The gloves were then
cut from skinswith q common shears.
The patterns were made of paste
board or shingles, and were laid upon
the leather and traced with sharp
pointed pieces of lead, called plum
NETS" The gloves were rough and
primitive in style and workmanship,
but well adapted to the times Later
on, when the industry began to give
promise of a prosperous future, many
families became engaged in it the
men cutting the gloves and the wives
and daughters stitching them, usu-
ally placing one mitten on the seat
beneath them and sitting upon it
while plying the needle on it's mate.
This method partially served the pur-
pose of Laying off" table, straight
ening the mitten out, and having a
tendency to make it soft and flexible.
The modern glove industry-that
is to say, the manufacture of gloves
by the methods now in vogue
dates from 1885, when great i'm
provements in shape resulted from
the introduction of dies, of new
shapes and proportions, the inven-
ton of Xavier Jouvin, of Grenoble.
France. Priorto Jouvin's time, in
the manufacture of fine French
gloves. the required shapes were
marked out by patterns, as was
the custom in this country,
a method that was slow and
inexact. The coarser English gloves
were cut by ''punchers, or dies of
false proportions, which soon gave
way to the superior "system Jow-
vim" In 1876 the French and Ger
man machines were introduced in the
United States. thus making the
American manufactures equal with
those in Europe. Yours,
GEORGE BENNETT.

Letting the interest in advance, yet has

the money, save the $40. the twelve (peo-

one Of the other borrowers to make up

current politics with which anyone can
make q knock. down argument in favor
of the Peoples party. Having been
member Of the last congress enabled the
author to more effectuRlly expose the
corrupt practices Of the old party poll
ticlans. In this new edition, which con-
tSins 425 pages, the political record is
brought down to 1893, and it has proven
to be one Of the hardest strikers of the
day. 1t would make many q convert in
Kansas, il properly circulated. Price, so

"SketcheS from Roman History" is q
marvel of condensed political history. It
treats Of reform in the olden time, how
the land question and the money quss-
tion swayed the destinies Of Rome;
Caesar and the Grscchi as reformers;
their great work and what it cost them.

The Times Gays 4,4S3 car loads, or
about $4,000 head Of feeding cattle have
been sent from the stock yards to the
farms of Kansas, Missouri, Iowa and
other states during the last three
months. This is the largest feeder bust
ness on record for q period OF ninety
days. During September, October and
November OF 1892, 1886 cars, containing
lO7,850 cattle, were shipped to the feed
lots, and the record for the correspond
iEg period Of 1891 shows 1896 cars, or
118,050 animals.
The three months ending November
30 are generally recognized As covering
the period il which the bulk Of the
feeder business is transacted.
An examination Of the records shows
that 2, 126 cars, or So, 3,790 head, of feeders
have gone to the interior OF Kansas dur.
ing the period 10 question, while the
stockmen and farmers Of Missouri have
taken 1876 cars, or 59,950 cattle, to be
fattened. The remaining 332 cars have
gone to Iowa, Nebraska and other states.
That Kansas has been the largest
buyer OF feeding cattle is Q matter Of
great Importance to the interests Of this
market. Situated directly east Of the
state, Kansas City attracts practically
all OK the cattle fed in Kansas, while In
many instances cattle brought here Ia
bs fed IN fsr-off Missouri, Iowa and Ne.
brssks points seek a market further

throughout eastern Kansas for fifteen
years past and my observation and ex-
peFience is that farm buildings and sur

one can mistake it. Or is it in silks and

acknowledge with modification that I
ana too often forced to compare the
situation and surroundings Of the peO-
pie of the town with the farmer to his
disadvantage, as | behold the comforts
enjoyed by those who merely handle his
productions and furnish his supplies,
while the producer himself too often
goes out at the knees and out at the
elbows, and his abode is furnished with
only the plRinest and most indispensable
necessRries for existence. Extravaganza
indeed! know many denlzsns Of towns,
who are chronic gFowlerR about theFsrm-

tobacco and other little indulgenciss than

The man Herbert Fague, who sustained
concussion of the brain from South

heavily and in comatose condition. He
is only rational when reused, and yester-
day morning his condition had changed
somewhat for the worse. At late hour
last night he still lay very low. but the
warden said he might recover.
The trains still plunge through the
streets, however, regardless of conse-
Quences, with little change in the condi-

from San Leandro, was struck by the Oak
land local train in the center of the
Seventh-street trestle about 6 80 yesterday
evening. He was aboard the O'Clock
train from the city and got off at Oak
street and started to walk toward East
Oakland by way of the trestle.
The engineer of the train saw him on
the trestle and sounded the whistle, but
the Chinese seemed to become ratified and
hardly knew what TO do. He could have
jumped, but seemed to fear the water, and
was struck and knocked many feet off the
treste and into the water. He was fished
out dead with the entire top of his head
