"A Story of Mystery.

Do you know what a "Story Of Mystery"
is? It Is continued story of which all but
the last chapter is printed, and then guesses
are made as to the solution, then the final
installment is printed.
Early in October a most interesting
mystery story, when the War Was Over"
will be started In The Star. and five hundred
dollars will be given for the first absolutely
correct solution. In case no guess is abso-
lutely correct the amount will be divided
among those nearest to a correct solution.
The guesses will be confined to women read

The Aluminium Industry.

From the Indiapapolis Journal.
The growth of the aluminium industry and

that the total output of the substance has

the factory s2,a5o to $4,000 pounds in 1894.
worth SS16,250 The cost has been reduced
fro nj early $40 a pound to less than GO cents

establishment of an aluminium plant near
Niagara Falls. which will utilize the new
electrical power developed there, will maj e-

There are now, and we are thank

of the opinion that free trade in this

earning less money, there must nat
urally be less money to spend. But
they know it now. We believe that

The reason is obvious, even those who
make it O point to buy nothing but

was more prosperous under protection
than it is under the first step toward
free trade. Protection Is gaining

the adoption of vertical handwriting

Board therefore makes these recon-
