levard Before the Works hoard.
A remonstrance, in the form of a peti-
tion. was placed before the Board of Pub
lie Works yesterday, Directing to the
Capitol-avenue boulevard being made fifty
feet between Indiana avenue and First
street, and asking the board TO change
the specifications 10 forty feet. The petit
ton was presented by DR.. w. ". Wishard,
t. E. Griffith and Morris Ross. The petit
ton was signed by thirty-six property
owners. which number, il is claimed. is a
tWeen the OF D s1oss living msd on r the street be,
said that six OF the twenty-four who had
not signed the petition would not oppose
roadway. Messrs. Rolton and Atkinson. of
the board, said they had agreed TO the
hfty-foot width on the declaration of Mr..
majority. or the property owners. Both
Mr.. Atkinson and Mr.. Holton we're in favor
OF the f9rty;foot roadway. and said they
erty owners were for IL. Mr.. Holton
thought that the forty-foot width would
cost 20 per cent. less than the ffty-foot
roadway.
Fall Creek Matter Before the Cabinet.
The petition recently presented to the
Board of Public Works to straighten Fall
creek from Capitol avenue to White
river will, it is said. be considered by the
Mayors cabinet tonight. IL is asserted
by the friends of the petition that the I'M
provement would reclaim many acres of
ground that are now practically worthless
and would add to the general health by
removing the sluggish stream and shorten
ing Its course TO the river. Hiram w.
Miller. through whose land the new chan
mel would run for a third of the entire dis
lance, has offered TO donate the necessary
ground that will be required in changing
the course of the creek and will in addition
give to the city a strip of land one hundred
feet wide on the south side of the stream.
II is asserted that the Strengthening of Fall
creek will reclaim about twelve acres OF
land which belongs 10 the city and is now
known as ~pesthouse ground.

An Amusing Incident o. selni-Sava@e
Rnle in Hawaii.
Judge Austin of Lilo relates some in
teresting experiences of his own while
secretary to Princess Ruth in 1854. AT
that time she was the governess OF
Hawaii.
He had been appointed secretary,
says the Pacific Commercial Advertiser,
but with orders from kamehameha Ill,
that Kcelikolani should never inter
fere with his work. In that year there
vas a large gathering Of the natives at
kailua. commanded to assemble by her
in order to explain to the people the
tax laws and to enforce the payment of
taxes. A large lanai was provided, in
which the meeting took place. and she
proposed to address them.
1t was the unwritten law that the
very old and inf1rru, all cripples and in
curables should be exempt from taxa
ton. The natives We're unwilling to
pay taxes, 50 they prepared for the
meeting.
Mary who were young men and in the
best physical condition came in, ap-
pearing tc be doubled up with dis
ease. Many used STATS and walked
with trembling steps. Some walked
slowly, coughing at every step. Some
held up Z leg and appeared TO be
cripples. n !entarprising native APP
peared on a stretcher, carried by -four
of his companions. When the assembly
opened it appeared like a hospital,
without a well person in it, and it num-
bered several hundred. The princess
made 2 brief address and was followed
by her secretary, Judge Austin, who
told them that ali present would have
to pay taxes, as there vas nothing the
matter with them.
At one there was a commotion. The
men who were doubled up Strengthened
themselves out. The coughing stopped.
The men with 'tgame"legs moved about
quickly. The nan who came in on q
stretcher got up and made a speech to
the crowd, showing that he had a very
poor opinion of the government. The
staffs were flung aside. In a fer~ mo-

were seen taking the mountain road

PRODUCTION OF MEERscHAuM
Where Some Rich Deposits of the Queer
Substance Are Found.

Where some Rich Deposits of the Queer
Substance Are Found.
Mr.. Cumberbatch, British consul at
AnGora, in his latest report, says that
rich deposits of meerschaum are found
twenty miles to the southeast of Eski
Shehir, an important station of the
Anatolian railway. The Belgian con-
sui in Constantinople, who recently
visited the place, states that it would
be difficult to determine the exac
arena in which the meerschaum is to
be found. Judging from the number
of pits at considerable distances from
each other, it must be extensive.
The meerschaum is extracted in the
same way as coal. Pits from twenty
five to one hundred and twenty feet
deep are dug, and as soon as the vein Is
struck horizontal galleries, sometimes
of considerable length, are made, but
more than two galleries are seldom to
be found in one pit. The stone as ex-
tracted is called ''ham tash," or rough
block, and is soft enough to be easily
cut with a knife. 1t is white, with a
yellowish tint, and is covered with a
red, clayey soil of about one inch
thick. In this state the blocks are
purchased by dealers on the spot, not

cording to approximate quantity,
either per load of three sacks or per art
load, the price varying from fl We to thirty
pounds sterling per load, according to
quality. These blocks are dried and
subjected to certain preparations be-
fore being conveyed to Eeki Shehir.
Some of them are as small as a walnut,
while others attain the size of a cubic
foot. Those which combine regularity
of surface and size are the best. The
manipulation required before they are
ready for expectation is long and cost
ly. The clayey soil is removed and the
meerschaum dried. In summer ex-
posture for five or six days to the suns
rays suffices, but in winter a room
heated to the required temperature is
necessary, and the drying process
takes eight or ten days.
When dried the blocks are well
cleaned and polished, then they are
sorted into about twelve classes, each
class being packed with great care in
separate eases, and each block being
wrapped in cotton wool. The bulk of
the meerschaum is sent to Vienna,
where it is worked, and dispersed all
over the world. Most of the fine5t
specimens are sent direct to Paris. Ger
tain American dealers have visited Esl1i
Shehir with the object of obtaining the
raw material direct instead Of through
Vienna, thereby saving the higher GUS
tom house duty payable CT the worked
meerschaum. The quantity annually
exported is put down at eight thousand
to ten thousand cases. The various
taxes levied by the Turkish government
amount to about thirty-seven per cent,
ad valore10.

COTTON STATES EXPOSITION.


The opening of the Cotton
States Exposition will be not
only a national and historic
event, but an opening chapter in
the new Industrial and CONNER
cial era of Southern progress.
Though, origin ally designed to
specially represent the resources
and capabilities of the n
States, it has broadened in its
designs, and includes in it's circle
the interests not only of the
States that cluster around the
Georgian gem, but of those be-
yond the national borders that
fringe the gulf and debouch on
the Pacific.
It is in this related aud radiat-
ing sense that the significance OF
the event is to be really rounded
out and measured.
Locally, if such a term can be
used in regard to the empire
sisterhood of the Southern
States, the Atlanta exhibit OF
Southern products will not only
be a positive surprise to many,
but a very effective means OF
stimulating the incoming of both
men and money. There is room
in these warm and fruitful lati-
tudes for a nation of home-mak-
ers, and resources of a rich and
varied nature to keep the spin
dies of the future in perpetual
hum, the pick of the miner busy
and the forge and furnace in con
slant activity, It needs but an
intelligent knowledge of these
possibilities to open our South.
