actresses who try to elevate the stage
and push to n side those who degrade
it. / shall speak of sports and games, of
horses and horse racing. ! am a lover of
horses and believe that there is no rea-
son why horse racing should not DO in
dulged in by working people.
But I am not in favor of horse rae.
ing as at present conducted in England.
l do not like blacklegs, gamblers or
thieves, and I must say that the way in
which horse racing is now conducted is
a shame and a disgrace. 1t is a noble
pastime, a noble sport, which has been
degraded by money makers, by charla-
tans and by r~eprobates until it has be-
come SO that it is q mere money making
institution.
In stature the dean is a giant, standing
Q feet d inches in his shoes. His strong
face is smooth shaven, and his massive
head is crowned with hair that is
ly white. He is 20 years old, but looks
much younger. During his long career
he has been the intimate of many world
famous men, among them Dickens,
Thackeray and Tennyson. The one shad-
ow thus far cast over his American tour
is the death of DR.. Oliver. Wendell
Holmes, the making of whose acquaint-
ance he had eagerly anticipated. The
dean is noted as a wit in England, and
his admiration of the a~utocrat is shared
by thousands of other cultured English
people.
The dean is a picturesque figure in
the low crowned, broad brimmed soft
felt hat, the long black coat over u short
cassock, and the knee breeches and black
stockings affected by the English clergy.
The principal object of the deans lee
ture tour is to secure money sufficient to
complete the restoration OF the Nor
man LAY in the Rochester cathedral.
This nave is the oldest in all England
and is n of the finest specimens of
ecclesiastical architecture in the coun-
try. When asked if he believed in home
rule, the dean replied, YES, / do, but
my wife won't let me.

The women of Southern California, at
least a large number Of them, believe in
women suffrage and so expressed them
selves last Monday. A mock election
was held at which only women were al
lowed to vote. The ome in most Of
the Southern California counties partic-
ipated in the election, using ballots just
like those which were to be used on
Tuesday by the men, and 10000 women
thus registered their protests against
the present suffrage requirements Of
that state. Almost all the ballots were
scratched, and the prohibitionists and
populists received more votes than the
other candidates. To prepare their bal
lots required, in two cases, forty minutes
each. The best time made by any female
voter was twelve and one-half minutes.
1t is reported:that several disturbances
occurred at the polls because some ladies
wanted the privilege OF withdrawing
their ballots after they had been dropped
into the boxes to make corrections
thought of afterwards. The inherent
desire TO add a postscript may have
prompted the wish to withdraw their
ballots for correction, and on the whole,
the election passed off as well rs an
election by men who had not previously
participated in one would have done.

1869 he became assistant naval con-
structor and six years later was made

eEssEMeR ON BEssEMER STEEL.
MarvelC~4 Quickness I'm Converting Cast
Iron Into the Hardened Metal.

Marvel~s4 Ouickness I'm Converting Cast
Iron Iuto the Hardened Metal.
In The Engineering Review Sir Hem
~ Bessemer has an article ON the steel
industry which bears his name. He re-
minds us that a third Of q century ago
Sheffield steel made from the costly bar
iron of Sweden realized from $50 to
EGO a ton. Now, by the Bessemer proc
ess, steel of excellent quality can be
made direct from crude pig iron at a
cost ridiculously small compared with
former prices and in quantities which
the old steel workers never dreamed OF
dealing with at one operation.
In lieu of the slow and expensive
process of converting wrought iron bars
into crude or blister steel by 10 days
exposure at a very high temperature 10
the action of carbon, cast iron worth
only e3 a ton Is, Sir Henry says, con.
verified into Bessemer cast steel In 80
minutes wholly without skilled manip-
ulation or the employment OF fuel, and
while still maintaining it's initial heat
it can at once be rolled into railway
bars or other required forms.
The article gives a vivid picture OF
all that has been brought about by this
revolution In a manufacture in which
mp 10 our own time there had been no
change since blades Of matohless temper
were wrought in the FORCES of Damas-
Gus and Toledo. Steel is now adapted
to a thousand purposes OF which our
ancestors had no conception.
By way of giving some idea of the
enormous production OF Bessemer steel
now. Sir Henry asks us TO imagine %
wall 5 feet in thickness and 90 feet
high, like q gigantic armor plate form
ed into a circle and made to surround
London. The inclosure 80 made would
extend to Watford ON the north side, 20
Croydon ON the sonth, to Woolwich on
the east and TO Richmond On the west
It would contain an area Of 795 square
miles, and this great wall of London.
weighing 10, 500. 900 tons, would Just
be equal 70 % years production Of
Bessemer steel.

pearance, the United States as well as
other countries possessing up to date
navies are much interested in learning
how the warship of today will stand the
brunt of a fierce naval fight AS China
and Japan both possess modern cruisers
and battleships, it is expected that Con-
structor Hichborn, by studying the effect
of the big guns upon these ships, may
note how the ships of our navy may be
improved. Constructor Hichborn will
probably devote most of his attention
to the Japanese ships, for the reason
that by the time he arrives at the scene

Aberdeen News, II: The populist
vote OF the state on governor shows a
falling off of nearly 20 per cent, while
the republican vote shows a correspond
ing gain. Two years ago Van Osdel re-
ceived 22,524 votes for governor, while
Howe's vote this year will probably not
exceed 1900. The democrats will poll
something like 1900 votes, the prohibi-
tionists about 1880, and the republicans
about 5000.

The ipEcripeion on Chinese coins,
like those en- their tapestries, porce-
lains and other artistic productions,
are always quaint, curious and char
a~cteristic. A gold coin issued by the
Chinese government during the reign
of WI Tsung had upon it's face the
inscription, True virtue, current
money" A bronze piece issued dur
ing the seventeenth century by
Chwang Leih III bears the words.
"Highest purity, currency money"
The coin issued by Tsung from 1851
to 1862 bore the words, Prevailing
prosperity" the larger also, Large
money" and on the reverse, value
one hundred times" meaning that
their value was 100 cash. A bronze
piece issued during the same period
bears the words, Always bright"
Another piece of the same reign
has upon his face, Prevailing pros
perity, heavy money" The brass
cash of the present emperor of China
bears the words, Bright beginning,
current money" and on the reverse,
Treasury weight, one mace" and
the name of the mint at which it
was coined. The Korean coinage,
which resembles the Chinese cash
in many particulars in its inscrip
ton, bears the inscription, Always
peaceful, current money. " and on the
reverse, "All four" which means
that the coin should be good in all
four directions of the country.
Another set of coins issued at the
mint in Seoul, Korea, is inscribed,

His Imitation Too Good.

A well-known resident of Manayunk
has the reputation of being the best imi-
tator OF the calls of birds or beasts in the
city. His imitation of the caterwauling
OF Thomas cat is simply irresistible,
and when he gets out into the backyard
for practice ali the felines for squares are
soon gathered in close proximity. A few
nights ago he came to grief in an effort
to have some fun with Grabbed neigh
Dor. About ii o'clock he stationed him
self outside of broad fence surrounding
the mans residence and began mewing
10 low tone, gradually rising, until a
high c note was perfected In a few
minutes the window was raised and sun
dry articles were thrown in the direction
OF the supposed night bowler. The
bowls then Increased in volume, finally
reaching the ear-cracking quality. The
aroused neighbor could stand the racket
no longer, and stepping down stairs,
opened the door quietly, slipped out,
seized clothes-prop and made for the
vicinity OF Mr.. Thomas, who at that time
poked his head over the fence and re-
ceived stunning blow, which knocked
him insensible. He was carried home
and revived with timulants.-Ph iladel-
