PROHIBITION VOTE.
IT WILL NOT AMOUNT TO MUCH IN
THE FOURTH DISTRICT.
Osusr>i Mahone's Position Ut Present Un-
known-Thorpe's Schools of IDstruc-
ton "A. y. Hill Camps Thanks.

PETERSBURG, VA, October 5.-(Spe-
ciai.)-while there is strong temperance
sentiment in this city, without any
active organization, II Is not believed
that the vote OF the Prohibition party will
amount to anything, unless, Indeed,
through the negroes. It may affect tho
Republican vote. 1t Is apparent from pres
ent indications that the main strength
OF the Prohibition party Will be derived
from the colored vote-not By reason OF
the fact that the negroes are more tenn
perate than the whites. but really be-
cause, as the records in this city show.
they are more Incorporate, and need the
assistance and advice OF their best
friends-their white and colored leaders.
But II is not believed that even under
the beat influences the negroes Will or
can be induced to depart from their dol
the Republican party-and TO vote any
other ticket than the straight Republi-
can This assertion. OF course. Is made
I'm reference to the great body OF the negro
vote in Southsde Virginia, which con-
stitutes the great majority OF the Re
publican vote.
WHAT HE ADVISED.
What General MahOne's position In the
nresept canvass is. is not known. The
public Is well aware that the General

nations be made by the Republican party

establishment of schools of instruction
throughout the district TO teach the
negroes how to spell the name or
.Tborne"-the Republican nominee-to en-
able them to vote intelligenty under the
new law. What parody on intelligent
elections this is!

Wears an s as Hat.

A mai with head two feet one and
five-eightN inches in circumference is
o curiosity, and when Moses Hall, ool-
ored, of Owings Mills, walked into
the store of G. b. Bates, 1908 Penn
sylvania avenue, Saturday afternoon,
Mr.. Bates was not q littlo bit sur
prised. At first glance Halls head
looked as if seven and three-eighth
hat would fit it. That is an un-
usually large size, but when that hat
was tried on it was too small. Then
Mr.. Bates bethought him of an old
Derby which he had in his window on
and on for over year, with a placarI
stating that it would be given to any
one it would fit. The size was seven
and seven-eighths, which il the larg-
est Mr.. Bates has sold in his ten
years experience. Afte. some search
the hat was found and tried on, but to
tho disgust and astonisbment of the
storekeeper it was too small. 1t
rested OH the back Of Halls head as a
en-year-old boys hat would rest on
that of an ordinary man. Mr.. Bates
then measured the mans head AMI
found that it would require a hat
eight and three-eighth size. That is
twelve sizes larger than tho average
hat worn by man. an.-Baltimore Ameri-

High Buildings.

1t has for centuries been one Of tho
ambitions Of humanity to build some
structure that should tower above ell
othets i'll the vicinity or in the world.
The Eiifel Tower was one Of the latest
exploits; but this has been condemned
as unsafe, and the upper part Of the
tower is to be removed. 1t is, how
ever, something Of white elephant
on the hands of its owners, as there is
no safe means known by which it can
be removed. The English people were
so well pleased with the Ferris Wheel
that they arc having ono built in
London. 1t will be considerably
larger than its Chicago mo lei, and
there are several minor improvements
suggested for it, although in the main
the Ferris plan will he followed. The
Worlds Fair wheel is to be removed
to New York City. and set up to de-
light thousands who could not go to
Chicago. .-LeGgcr.

Rent for Made Land,

Tho st. Louis courts have recently
decided case Of no little interest to
the dwellers on tho banks of rivers
where new land is likely to be made.
Mrs. Anna II. Allen owns 145 acres of
land at the point where the river Des
Peres enters the Mississippi, and sho
leased it to the st. Louis, Iron Noun
tain and Southern. Later seventy-tivo
acres was added to this tract by ac-
cretions from tho Mississippi. The
company has n transfer mt this point
and was compelled to cross the new
land in transferring cars. 1t, how
ever, refused to pay rent for the land
embraced in the new formation, on
the ground that it was not embraced
in tho lease. Judge Dillon held that
the accretions had become part OF
tho original tract, and, innsmuch as
the company had used the land, it was
liable for rent The land was valued
by experts ut $3.50 R.r acre, AMI iudS-
mcnt was given against tho railroad
upon the basis OF SIX per cont. on thls
valuation. - New Orleans Picayunc.

but it does some wonderful work. 1t
will absorb any metals that are melted
in it, except gold and silver. That
sounds little doubtful, but it is O
fact that can readily be accounted for
on scientific principles. You melt
lump of mingled gold and copper in
this little cupel, and every particle of
the copper disappears, leaving tho
gold alone in the bottom of the cup.
That is the first step in assaying gold,
taking no account of dozen minor
operations that merely lead up to it.
"rhis melting in the cupel does moi
give pure gold, however, for gold is
often alloyed with silver. After tho
tiny button that remains i'll the cup
has cooled sufficiently, it is flattcned
with hammer and run between
rollers till it comes out little spiral
that we call n coraet. This is put in
little vessel like thimblo with a
slit In the bottom, and is boiled in
nitric acid. The acid dissolves the
silver, which runs out through the
slit, but it cannot dissolve the gold.
The tiny chip that remains in is pure
gold. New York Sun.

He's only a pauper whom no5oiy owns
is now out of date. The guardians
know better than to act so recklessly,
for often the party concerned is the
possessor of set of artificial teeth
which contains good deal of gold
last relic of more prosperous times
and in the interest of the ratc-payers
the precious metal must be secured
and turned into pounds sterling. Of
ten, too, they are the owners of rings
or tiny trinkcts, not pawnable, but
still containing rs much auriferous
value nB not II few modern gold mines.
These have to bo collected and also
converted into cash by means OF the
melting-pot. In the Holborn Union
the melting process takes place once a
year, and has just been accomplished
for the present season. The jewclry
dealt with is what is found on paupers
who die fricndless and unclaimed in
its various establishments.
This week rings, chains, brooches
and trinkets have been melted down,
and produced bar OF go d, estimated
