THE OYSTERS ENEMY.
Great Destruction in the Delaware Bay
 Beds by the " Borer."

Great Destruction in the Delaware Bay
 Beds by the Borer."
 The "borer," a pest about the size of a small strawberry, is working great havoc among the oyster beds in Della ware bay and tributary streams, says the Philadelphia Ledger.
 Capt. Moses Veale, of the oyster schooner White Lily, says that the de- structive powers of the 'borer'' have beer known to oystermen only few years. He had followed oyster digging for nearly thirty-fve years, and the first ''borer" he saw was about ten years ago, but their ravages in the oys- ter beds were comparatively unnoticed until last year.
 Capt. Vfale said that Hast year the number ( dead oysters with holes made by bore IS in the shell became so great that r.ystermen were alarmed. This year the work of the borers has become a grave matter, and if it continues p.any bays will be depopulated of oys- ters. From one bed we dredged on this trip we got twelve hundred baskets of oysters, but out of these only two hun dred were good, the dead oysters hay ing been killed by borers. A peculiar thing about the ravages of the 'borers' is their apparent selection of the best oyster beds. We have found this to be true several times this season. We most entirely free from 'borers.' This bed will be separated from another bed of larger oysters by two hundred feet, but this latter bed will be so badly affected by the creatures that it will hardly pay to work it.
 ''From what I can learn from oyster men the destruction wrought by borers is much more severe in Delaware bay than in other places.
 1.-The work of the borer this year makes a double misfortune, for the oyster beds were badly damaged by the big storm in August and September. Very few people who are not in the oyster dredging business know any thing of the methods of the borer. When I first took notice of it's work I secured several oysters just after the borer had fastened itself to the shell. When the borer fastens itself it holds on like leech, and it is with difficulty that it can be removed with the fingers.
 Sometimes the borer fastens itself to the oyster shell near the edge and then the oyster is not killed. When tho ho1a of tho Iorar ic mo 1a paor tho center of the shell the oyster is at tackled in its vital parts and dies in three or four days after the hole is first made"
 Some of the bed-owners near Maurice river have lost large sums of money this year on account of the borer. All oystermen say there can be no way of taking away the borer without de- stroying the oyster beds.

 ''Have you got a dictionary here?" he softly asked of a hotel clerk on Grand River avenue yesterday, says the Detroit Free Press.
 'fNo, sir"
 Are you pretty we'll up on Webster yourself?"
 Fairly so. Whats the trouble?"
 ''I want a term defined. A fellow just referred to me as a parsimonious slinker, and I can't exactly catch on." 'Parsimonious means stingy and close" q know she does. I've allus knowed that"
 'Slinker-slinker? A slinker must be man who sinks"
 ''Seems that way to me, but I didn't sink"
 "What were the circumstances" "Why, went into saloon after a glass of beer. There was stranger there, and he came over to the bar. asked him if he ever drank, and he said he did. I ordered beer for me and water for him, and he stuck up his chin and called me a parsimonious slinker. Was the reference appropri- ate to the occasion?''
 "Well, somewhat
 "Then, it's all right. I thought he had slipped cog in his grammar, or was addressing the bartender. Then he probably meant me? All right-all right, yes. He must have meant me, I noticed he didn't drink the water, and I thought he said something about knocking my eyebrows off. Sorry to have bothered you, but I was little curious, you know. Good day"

FUTURE OF ALUMINIUM.
Roofs for Houses and Hulls for Vessel
 Sure to Be Made of It.

Roofs for Houses and Hulls for Vessels
 Sure to Be Made of It.
 Aluminium, which itself possesses a high degree of specific heat, does not really absorb heat itself, and thus is not liable to the chief objection to iron buildings in hot countries. But apart from light decorative purposes, says the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, such as balconies, cupolas, fnials and veran das, it is as roofing material that aluminium should be most welcome to the builder. In plates or scales, two thirds lighter than copper, uncorroded by air and undimmed even by the sul- phur of London smoke, it should make roof fit for palace of romance.
 The humber elements of health and comfort in the house hardly less i'm portant than it's external defenses against the weather-pipes, cisterns taps and gutters, now made of iron which rusts, or lead which poisons- would be more enduring and far more healthy if made of this light and clean ly metal, which might also take the place of all water-holding vessels now made of heavy, brittle earthenware or painted tin. An aluminium bath is among the probable luxuries of the next century. But it is not as mere accessory to comfort and convenience that real development of the new metal should lie. It is for use at sea that it's most marked quality of light ness obviously fits it.
 The marine engineer and the naval architect, who are already looking in this direction for reduction of the weight which is inseparable from loss of efficacy, whether in speed or cargo, cannot neglect the possibilities of a metal, which, when mixed in the pro- portion of one to fifty, gives to alum inum-bronze a hardness and tough ness which makes it almost as reliable as steel, and which, if the proportions could be reversed and the strength pre- served, would reduce the weight of ships and machinery alike by two thirds. That is problem which awaits the metallurgist for solution. The reduction in cost, judging by an- alogy, can only be question of time and research.
 The best steel now costs little more than one-half penny per pound, while aluminium is fifty times that price. But aluminium exists in far greater quantities than iron, is more widely distributed, and neither the limits of time nor the history of metallurgy for bid us to conjecture that, as the world has seen it's age of stone, it's age of bronze and it's age of iron, so it may before long have embarked on a new and even mor4 prosperous age of alum mum.

 WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-The ways and means committee has been listening as sub committees in groups of tw1s and threes and individually to the com plaints of those who want the tariff bill changed in different particulars, which will affect their interests. Among the delegations was one repre-. senting large playing card manu. featuring concerns in New York. Gin cinnati and Indianapolis who claimed that less tax would yield greater revenue and enable manufacturers to cantinue in business. The Democratic membe committee expected their protests would be against being dis turbed and they. are not inclined to make any changes unless it appears some unintentional error has been made.
 Efforts are being made by Democrats dissatisfied with the bill to~have a caucus held. The members of the com mittee do not want 8 caucus and will proba ply use their best endeavors tt prevent one. The friends ot the ad ministratiOn are also counted upon tC prevent caucus.

Break Between Wurtem-

Early Resignation of the

DiSgracefuI and Unbearable Treatme ent by the Emperor.
The King and His Ministers Charged With Secret Opposition to
 Imperial Projects.

By the Associated Pr ,ss
 BERLIN, Dec. 6.-The minister from Wurtem burg at Berlin has resigned on account of the fact that he opposed the project credited to the emperor of re- placing the minister of war at Wurtem- burg by militrry cabinet The rela- tions between Wurtem burg and the empire have been strained since last summer, when Wurtem burg abandoned the military maneuvers owing to the scarcity of fodder.
 Inside History.
 PARIS. Dec. 6.-The Paris edition of the New York Herald says: A vain attempt ia being made iu Berlin and Stuttgart to conceal the trouble be- tween Emperor William and the king of Wurtemburg. The emperor com- plains bitterly of Wurtemburg's clan destine opposition to his policy. The emperor referred to the hostility of Baron Won Mittenacht, Wurtem burg's premier and minister of foreign affairs, and of Welckers, the minister of war at 1 Wurtem burg.
 General Mittenacht is accused of too much friendship for Bismarck and with encouraging agitation against the wine tax. When the king of Wurtemb burg tried to justify his premier by pointing out that the tax was impossible the emperor flew into passion and accused Mittenacht and Welckers of insu bordin ation and of false report of drouth lin Wurtem burg for the purpose of stop ing army maneuvers.
 The king in order to quiet the em- peror promised to put everything straight, but the emperor said, Hast year we were set at naught by the pre- text that there was cholera at Ham burg. this yesr it is drou5h. This must be stopped /" Mittenacht's position became un bereabe and as soon as he has advocated in the diet his scheme I for reform of the constitution, which will doubtless be rejected, he will cer- tainly resign from the ministry of war. Ia spite to his recent visit to Berlin, he is already packing his trunks and 1 Welckers has been asked to ret re.
 When the emperor was present at the recent interview st Stuttgart he treated Weckers like a dog and feigned not to see him though Weickers was in command. The emperor sad loud enough to be heard by all his staff "Our troops are bad but their handling is worse than bad" The emperor then turned his back on Welckers who was thunders struck at this treatment. The minister of war and Mittenach were similarly treated. The emperor did not speak to either of them. He turned his back and then refused to see Won Moser in Berlin giving him to understand that the sir of the country was not good for him.

A SERIOUS HITCH.
Tho Lehigh Valley Strike Not Yet
 Abandoned.

MAucH CHUNK. Pa., Dec. 6-There is a serious hitch in the settlement of the Lehlgh valley strike. The leaders re- ceived cipher messages early this morn- ing declaring the strike off. The men expected to return in body and every man took his place. When the ar arrangements were made known to them things assumed a different shape and they unanimously declared that every man would have to be taken back or none.
 The strikers held meeting at the opera house this evening and the pro- position for a settlement was rejected. Similar action was taken at Lehigh, Weissport and White Haven. The new phase of the situation has caused great uneasiness here. Stockholders, strikers and business men are more or less de- jected. They had hoped for settle ment. The strikers say. however, they are prepared to hold out any length of time

 The defense moved to strike out all evidence connecting Evans with the Collis train robbery, arguing that the unsupported confession of Geo. Son. tag was all that had been produced duplicating Chris Evans. The motion was denied. On the motion of the de- fense a recess was taken to allow Evans counsel get their case in shape. Attor- ney Kinds said day and half would suffice to get in all the testimony for the accused and that the case can probably be closed this week.
