Remarkably Thin sheets Of Iron.

Among the novelties introduced on
the continent lately are visiting cards
made Of thin sheets of iron, a revival Of
the exhibits made at the first Uni.
versal Exhibition, held in London in
1851. The French and Spanish Jour
mails have been lately treating this mat
ter OF f~ine-rolling Of sheets OF iron as q
novelty, but, in truth, the affair re-
suited In q competition between Ameri-
can and English metallurgists arising
out OF the exhibit Of q specimen Of iron
paper, If it may be 80 termed, made in
1851 by an American firm. A lively
competition In iron rolling then ensued
among British manufacturers, as to
the thinness to which steel could be
rolled cold. Mr.. elliott rolled sheets
the average thickness OF which was
the l,SOOth part OF an inch. In other
words, 1900 sheets piled upon each
other would collectively measure an
inch in thickness, while the thinnest
tissue paper to be purchased in the
stationers' shops, or cigarette paper,
measured the 1,2O0th part OF an inch.-

Firmly identified

with everything in
the Senate that has q silver lining IS
Mr.. Stewart OF Nevada. He is known
the world yer as being for silver, free
and unlimited rs to its coinage, and in
this respect he is one OF the b~est-known
characters in the Senate. He IL one of
the far Western self-made men, and
though, perhaps, his power of oratory
Is not as magnetic rs some Of his fell
low members, he is undoubtedly q
thorn in the side OF those who attempt
to legislate against the white metal.
He has an apparently everlasting fund
OF silver knowledge, and il ever pre-
pared to stand for the rights Of that
metal.
Senator Sherman seems to have aged
since the last session, but 1t was appar-
emit from his recent speech that he has
lost none of the fire and clear-headed
manner OF speech that has marked him
as one of the most able men this coun-
try has produced. He is one of the
parliamentarians in Congress, and is
always ready to suggest the proper
method OF dispOsing of any question
that comes before the body OF which
he is q member. Though he had a por-
ton of his speech written out, he sell
dom referred to the notes, except for
statistics Or figures, and though he
talked for nearly three hours he never
hesitated or had to change his style, Of
expression. He ia seldom absent from
the Senate, and is regarded rs one OF
most valuable men that there are on the
Republican side Of the chamber for
that party.
Perhaps, next to Senator Voorhees,,
the Democrat who Is taking the most
active part in the financial discussion
IL Senator Mcpherson OF New Jersey.
According to his own statement he ap-
preciates that his party Is now in con-
troll of the Legislative branches OF the
country, and that it Is responsible for
oil that is given to this country from
Congress during this Congress- at least.
He has come forward as . strong friend
Of the administration in the present
emergency, and on account OF his ex-
perience and long service on the
Finance Committee is one Of Mr.. Cleve-
lands most helpful ~licutenants on the
floor.

Mckinley Opens the Campaign.

The battle for protection in Ohio
has begun with an enthusiasm that
promises victory. The date set for the
formal opening OF the campaign has
not yet arrived, but the impotence OF
the people to hear Governor Mckinley
could mot be restrained. They we're
eager to hear the great truths which
he was eager to speak, and the result
was q notably large and earnest mass
meeting on Tuesday in the home coun-,
ty Of Neal, the Democratic candidate
Governor McKinley's speech was
worthy Of the cause In which it was
uttered. It was an emphatic arraign-
ment Of the Democracy for Its political
ruin OF American industries; an indictj
ment that can neither be answered nor
evaded. II the people were assured
that the Mckinley law would stand
untouched, prosperity would return at
once" the Governor declared. The
sound ommon sense Of every business
men in the nation will indorse this
ringing statement.-New York Press.

The deceased has had rather an event
full life. She was three times married.
Her first husband was j. w. Mathis, who
was killed by her side in bed by one of
his negro servants, who at the same time
inflicted slight wound on the deceased.
Her second marriage was to Col q. M.
Wheeler, who died of consumption In
1872. Her third marriage was to John
w. Bird, in 1878, who died the same year.
She has been consistent member of the

She lived alone on her plantation since

things, and ever ready to do that which
was good and noble. Many will join her
