PUTTY IN ITS VARIATIONS.
Made of whiting and Linseed Oil, Its Tint
Are Diverse and Its Uses Many.


Pure putty is made of whiting and
linseed oil. Whiting is made of chalk
which is imported from England and
ground in this country. Barytes, mixed
with the whiting, is used as an adul-
terant of putty, and cOttenseed oil is
mixed with linseed oil. Cottonseed Oil
is cheaper, and a slower dryer than lin
seed; its use is advantageous to small
consumers, for putty mixed with part
cottonseed oil keeps in order longer
Linsecd oil putty is used more by deco
rators and painters and other large
consumers who use up putty quickly.
Putty sells at wholesale at from = to
. cents a pound. 1t is put up for the
trade in barrels of 500 pounds, kegs of
800 pounds, tubs of 100 to 10 pounds,
in cans of to 100 pounds, and in blad-
ders; it keeps best in bladders, and the
bulk of the putty exported goes in that
form Putty made in the eastern cities
of the United States is sold on the At.
lantic seaboard and in the south, but
not much eastern putty is sold in the
west, for there are putty manufactures
We export putty to Canada, Mexico,
the West Indies, South America and
the Sandwich islands. Manufacturers
make colored putties to order, and
white, brown and black putties are
kept in stock. Putty has a variety OF
uses besides those already mentioned,
and the very familiar one is setting
glass Brown putty is used to point
brownstone buildings, and putty is
sometimes used in pointing up brick
buildings Black putty is used in stove
fouudries Plumbers use putty. Some,
times scene painters reduce it and put
it on canvas to paint over. There arc
three or four putty manufactures in
New York and more i'm Brooklyn. A
single FIRM OF manufacturers i'm this
citv has sold more than 1900 tons in
20 year These seem like large figures
but they are less surprising from the
TACT that there are few articles Of more

SOON FORGOTTEN.
A Sad Comment Upon the Death of
Napoleon Bonaparte.

Sad Comment Upon the Death OF
Napoleon Bonaparte.
The vanity of human endeavor, when
it is directed toward the attainment OF
selfish ends, was never better illus
trated than by the manner in which
the news of the death of Napoleon
Bonaparte at st. Helena was received
in Paris. Napoleon had been the mas
ter of Europe; he had reached the
height of human glory, and in France
and particularly in Paris, all things
had conferred around his name.
Quite recently the memoirs of Louis
Anne Martin, French man of letters
of the early part of the present CEN
fury, and an acute observer of men and
affairs in his time, have been published
in Paris for the first time. In them,
under date of July 6, 1921, occurs a note
which shows what the name of the
Emperor Napoleon" had become at
that time.
"Bonaparte is dead" says Martin,
"and the news is repeated coldly and
forgotten, and people go on to talk of
other things. l wished particularly to
know what effect this news would
have upon the people. l passed the
Palais-Royal. A public crier called;
Here's your account of the death OF
Bonaparten
This cry, which it seemed must
have appalled, Europe, was without eff.
feet; no one listened. There was not a
purchaser of the mans wares every,
one was Indifferent.
81 entered several cafes and found
the same indifference-Coldness every
where: no ones intelligence was
touched. l can not answer for the
hearts, but this man had inspired
more of establishment than of love.
SIN one cafe l heard people talking
about his death, and then they went
on to talk about the censorship law,
which is discussed so much to-day, and
which will be forgotten tomorrow
And this is gloryw-Youth's Com.

A DAMAGE SUIT.
Mayor Fitzpatrick of New Orleans Gets
After The Daily States,

After The Daily States,
NEW ORLEANS, July 24.-Mayor
John Fitzpatrick has instituted suit
against The Daily States for 100000
damages for an editorial published in
yesterday evenings issue of that
paper. He also: made an affidavit
against Major Horsey, editor of The
States for criminal libel. The follow
ing are extracts from editorials of The
States, causing the suit for damage
and libel: Three members of
the city council have been indicted
by the grand jury, and charges of
equally as disgraceful nature have
been made against Others and also
also against the mayor. Under the
peculiar laws of Louisiana the criminal
district Judge has felt bound to quash
these indictments and there is gen.
eral feeling of disgust throughout the
community at the possibility, if not
the probability, of these rascals escap-
ing punishment for their crimes. We
have already printed the statement of
Mr.. Orlopp, the contractor for build.
ing the new court house and
jail, showing how he was fleeced
by the gang and the friends OF the
gang. 1t has been shown by that
statement that Mayor Fitzpatrick, at
ter he came into office, pretended to
discover that the bond which the pre-
vious administration had found was
entirely satisfactory, was defective,
and forced the contractor to make a
new and local bond composed of the
mayors friends and to pay these
5ondsmen $500 for their names. 1t has
also been shown that the scheme of
Mammon s. Co., of which the mayor
or his wife (whichis the same thing,
is the ceief partner, endeavored to
force from the contractor $25,000 for a
Job which another contractor had Of
ierred to do for $40, 800, and that final
ly in fear of the power OF the mayor
and with full knowledge that the
mayor would exercise his power, the
contractor did give the mayors firm
SD, 600. or $4,000 more than the the
lowest bid for the job.

him out Of bed, accused him of com
plicty in the shooting, and after
placing rope about his neck, threat
ened to hang him if he did not tell
them who fired the shot. Next the
