NO NEW TAX ON BEER.
Secretary Carlisle viii Not Help the
Revenues In That Way.

Washington. Oct 1S.-Concernlng n
story published today to the effect that
Secretary Carlisle will recommend an
Increase OF the tax on beer as q means
of raising new revenue, there Is good
authority for the statement that Sec
retary Carlisle has not the intention
of doing anything Of the sort.
The secretary Is not yet ready to ad-
NIT that any increased revenues will
be needed. He certainly has not de-
cided to ask congress to put an in
creased tax on beer. Moreover, the sec
retary does not believe such recon
mendation, II made, would meet with
a favorable response in congress.

enjoyed only local reputation. His
career as a chess player has not been
of the brilliant order, but rather one
of constant advancement. Pillshury
is twenty-five years old, and his chess
PLAYING dates from his sixteenth
birthday, when he first learned the
moves of the game at which he has
now proved himself to be the inter-
national champion.
Addison Smith, leading member
of the Boston Chess Club, became in
terested in the young man shortly
after he began TO play, and Pillsbury
was not slow to take advantage OF
Smiths valuable experience. He be-
came an active member of the Boston
Chess Clnb. and enjoyed q reputation
among Boston enthusiasts as coming
player.
Pillsbury's first important success
was gained over Champion Steinitz,
WHO nnsuccessfully tried to concede
him the odds of pawn and move. He
was entered in 1890 in tho American
Chess Congress, receiving odds from
Burrille and other leading players.
Young Pillsbury defeated Stone at
eyens with a score of to 2. He also
PLAYED match with Barry, strong
New England player, winning by q
score of 5 to 4. -,

game played at Hastings. The cham

man, like Pillsbury, played L@asker ask
ner, with Tschigorin, steinifz. = BTaef;
burne and Tarrasch as dangerous
rivals, while Pillsbury and the others
were in the tlark-horse category.
Pillsbury's victory against such an
array of talent is therefore the more
remarkable, as he WAS pitted against
men whose experience in tournaments
and matches was calculated to at least
overcome the younger and less ex'
perienced players.
Pillsbury is an active member oi
the Brooklyn Chess Club, and on his

victory was the recipient of cordial

any of the meat comes in here.
In the east room of the slaughter
house are three great iron kettles, each
of three hundred gallons capacity, and
in these parts OF the meat are boiled,
but for what purpose there is diver
sity of opinion. Martin and his en-
ployes say the kettles are used for
boiling those parts OF the dead horses
out of which glue is made, the result
being sold to the gluemakers. One
man told me the vats contained the
necks of horses, which was made into
"beef extract" A suitable brand is
then put upon the extract, and there
are doubtless thousands of persons
who sip the concoction and think it is
beef tea, when it is nothing more than
horse Cruel. Another man thought it
was soup stock, and yet another said
he was certain that saloon free lunches
were supplied out OF the kettles. The
beef tea theory, however, is the more
probable, and the one generally &C
cepted.

CLOTH GOWNS.

While fashionable tailors will use
rough-surfaced fabrics-tweeda, chey-
lots and boucle cloths-for the greater
number of gowns, they will adhere to
the smooth lady's cloth for their more
elaborate dresses, as they have always
done.
The tailors who were slow to adopt
large sleeves and very wide skirts are
now loudest in their praise, and IN
sists on commencing them for winter
use. Certainly their long lines are
most suitable for the cloth and velvet
dresses made by tailors, where draper
les and founces would not be effective.
The coat-waist will be used for gowns
of these heavy fabrics, though round
full waists will not be abandoned by
the small slight women who find them
becoming. An effort will be made to
do away with the godet back OF these
coats. commonly known as the cripple

folded pleats. The back is to be very
short, falling only few inches below
the waist, and is to have but Jew
seams, though it is closely fitted. The
front may be Tapped slightly to allow
the use of very elegant buttons, or else
it falls open straight and a belt is
passed around the waist, going out
side the back but slipped inside the
under.arm seams, and fastening under
the open front. Square long tabs are
on these fronts, nnd they are merely
edged with fur. a novelty that is

Is steam ont of date? asks Farm,

road men say that the days OF the
steam locomotive are numbered. Be-
fore long the noise, smoke and Gin

erful storage batteries have been sue
cessfully tested by number of diff
ferent roads. The steam locomotive
is expensive to build, expensive to
run, and entails large constant cost
for repairs. The running expenses
average at least twenty-five cents a
mile, which is many times the cost OF
running a locomotive with storage
battery. The batteries are made to
carry train about hundred miles
and can be changed in shorter time
than is necessary fol taking coal and
water. The Pennsylvania Railroad is
said to be about to make the change
from steam to electricity and other
prominent lines have the matter under
advisement. Were 1t not for the vast
amount of capital in locomotives the
change would have been made before

A New illuminant.

Some day We shall, perhaps, settle
on a universal domestic illuminant.
Will it be acetylene? If SO, we shall
want shorter name for it, but that
can be shelved for the present. Acs-
tylene is said to give flame ten or
twelve times brighter than an ordi.
nary gas jet, or four and half times
brighter than the very best ges burner
can yield. Moreover, acetylene gives
out much less heat than gas, and very
much less vapor. Add to these advan-
tages the fact that acetylene can be
llquified with ease, and kept in liquid
form, and you have the claims of ace
tylene in the rough. 1t is curious
that acetylene has become CONNER
clally possible as en- illuminant by de-
velopments in electricity with which
it will now have to compete. New

How a Great Steel Ring Was Made.

The steel ring for generator No. 8 at
the Niagara Power Compsny's new
plant is now at the shop of the West
inghouse Company, and is attracting
q great deal of attention from steel
men. as we'll as from electricians. 1t
is regarded as one of the very finest
pieces of work ever turned out. 1t
was forged at Bethlehem, Penn. The
ring is considerably tho largest OF the
kind ever cast. It is eleven feet seven
and one-eighth inches in diameter: me ea.
about five feet high and weighs ~, oOo
pounds. 1t cost over $4,000.
The making of the ring was an eS,
ceedingly difficult task. A nickel
steel ingot four and half feet IN dl-
ameter at the bottom and Six and o
half feet long was cast. A hole was
then bored through Alengthwise. A
block of the proper weight was then
cut from the ingot, and the cylinder
thus obtained was heated, and, under
hydraulic pressure of IA, 600 tons !l
was expanded to the present size. 1t
would ba,j1st like cutting from lead
nencil e section half an inch long, bor'
ing the lead out of it and then expand
ing the wood to a ring an inch IN al'
ameter.
The ring had to be forged to per
feet circle, and in such a way as 70
prevent the possibility of weakness IN
any part, for. when the TREMENDOUS
pressure of Niagara is brought to pear
on the turbine, which will turn the
ring, it will revolve around the arma'
ture at the rate of $50 revolutions per
minute. The electrical energy thus
obtained will be 5000 horse power
