Search in the basement of the Chicago
house has revealed almost everything sug-
gestive of dark crime except Il corpse.
Skeletons and bones were there, but these
may have been procured from medical
rolleges or other sources; they furnish no
proof Of murder. More mysterious watts,
tanks, retorts and kindred devices have
been unearthed. And most important of
all, there has been found III the Arkansas
penitentiary a man who is said to have
been closely associated with holmes in his
fraudulent life insurance deals and who
assisted in the transfer of the Fort
Worth, Texas, property of the missing
Williams girls. This man is known by
the name of Hatch, A. Il. Allen, \. T.
Bond. Caldwell and Mascot" and it is
thought was Holmes confidential agent.
He is serving n ffteen-year term for
horse-stealing. and he is now % years old.
He claims to know all about the disap-
pearance of the Williams girls and tie
Pitzel children. but refuses to tell until
he is pardoned for his present term and
relieved of two more indictments for
DEMONSTRATING Holmes not long ago as
serted that the man Hatch took the Fit
eel children TO Toronto. in the company
of Minnie Williams. and that if he could
be found he could clear up the mystery
of their death.
An attorney went from Chicago to Lit
tie Rock to treat with the authorities of
Arkansas for the release of the old man..
and the strongest influence Will be used
to secure all he knows. One other man
now held by the Chicago police is thought
to know enough TO convict Holmes. This
Is Pat Quinian; but in convicting Holmes
he will also convict himself, he has
the strongest incentive to keep his mouth
shut On the other hand, Hatch will
have the reward of liberty for his dis
closures, in case the latter are conclusive.
So it is upon him that the police pin their
faith

While it is not likely that the Horr-

verting any one from his deep-root con-
victions it may, and undoubtedly has,
broadened the views OF many. The mere
fact that Mr.. Horn and Ir. Harvey could
keep each other so busy in making replies
Is Of some value as an Indication that the
subject is broad enough to admit of in
spection from opposing sides.
From the opening of the finance cOntro-
versy there has been general feeling
that the public would be helped and en-
lightened by the collection of the argu-

these arguments one against the other.
Through Mr.. Harvey and Mr.. Horr each
faction to the financial question has pre-
scented its case, and in such a way that
the arguments pro and con come into Inn

The highest number of points ever

for the raising of the standard is to

FORTUNES EASILY MADE.
Some Men Acquire Riches without Any
Serious StSuggle.

serious Stbug8ie.
The three principal matters which
have all to do with the increase Of
wealth in society as at present consti-
tuted are the natural bounties upon
which man constantly exercises his fac
ulties, and everything which enables
him to use them to better advantages,
the means of transporting the products
Of his labor to all parts Of the earth
with ease and cheapness, and the me-
dunn which facilitates exchange of
commodities between men money.
The study of these three principal
sources of wealth to community will
reveal two facts-that the people have
money-makers have been attentive; and
that while the Indifference Of the one
accounts for their ever-diminishing
wages, the attention of the other &C
counts for their immense fortunes.
1t Is from the natural bounties that
all the wealth of any community
springs, writes Edward McGlynn, d.
D., in Donahoe's Magazine. The land
and its resources, the forest and its
riches, the rivers, seas and oceans with
their teeming life are the first and only
sources of real wealth, and upon them
depend the artificial values which So
ciety gives to the beginning of all So
cial wealth. He is the unit of value.
1t is his exertion which creates all val
ues, and the object of his exertions is
the support of his own life, the accom-
plishment of his own destiny, here and
hereafter, as his Creator ordained. The
natural bounties must always, there
fore, be open to him in every society,
no matter how complex its organiza-
ton. The necessity implies right
the right of getting at the natural
bounties with ease and without serious
hindrance;. the right Of using these
bounties without tax to any power save
society, directly or to its agents. Now,
at this point we get our first glimpse Of
the manner in which enormous fortunes
are made.
We take possession Of these natural
bounties, to monopolize them under
cover of law and custom, and to make
all men who would use them pay be-
forehand for the privilege, have been
the aim of the moneY-makers since time
began; by getting hold of the natural
bounties, which really belong to the
community, and should never leave its
jurisdiction except in the most prudent
fashion, and then only to revert reg
ularly to the same community, the
builders of great fortunes have been
able to enrich themselves at pleasure
without any labor worthy of the inn
mense prizes they win.

SILK FROM WOOD PULP.
New Industry to BE Started in This
Country.

New Industry to BE Started In This
Country.
Reference has already been made to
the method of making silk from wood
pulp, the discovery of DIR. Lehner, of
Switzerland. Companies have been re-
Gently formed in England and Mont
real and factories will be erected to
manufacture the silk, says the New
York World.
In the process of manufacturing the
new fabric the principal ingredients
used are spruce wood pulp, cotton or
jute waste, ETC., combined with large
quantity of alcohol. The use of the
substantial or solid materials men,
toned creates a market for what was
hitherto of no use whatever, being
burned in factory furnaces to get it out
of the way.
Spruce sawdust now has a market
value, for this, as well as the other ma
terials, are digested by a chemical proc
ess, in which alcohol plays an impor-
tant part. The material thus digested
is so much like the cocoon spun by the
silkworm that when the two are placed
side by side in finished state it takes
an expert to determine which Is which.
The artificial material at one state is
a liquid, and of a density about equal
to the ordinary strip of commerce.
When in this state machine of DIR.
Lehner's invention, which may DO
called an artificial silkworm, comes into
play. This machine, which is very sim
pie in construction, requiring so little
attention that It can be kept at work
with about as much labor as is devoted
to twenty-four-hour clock, performs
exactly the same mechanical work that
silkworm does. 1t draws from the
liquid a continuous, unbroken thread of
even diameteraand unlimited length.
As this thread Is spun, another portion
of the machine takes it up and twists it
into any desired thickness of yarn with
perfect regularity.
Thus the fabric can be made of any
desired weight or thickness, so that it
will be seasonable at all times.
This artificial silk has been spun in
Bradford, England. and worked up into
large variety of fabrics. In the dye
ing, weaving and finishing of these no
special treatment has been found neces-
sary. 1t has been dyed in all imagin-
able shades and colors and, owing to
the peculiar qualities of the material,
it takes dye more readily and gives a
more brilliant effect than the natural
article. In texture 1t is equal to the
best of Chinese and Indian silks, being
soft and silken to the touch. 1t is ex-
pected that it will be used largely IN
combination with natural silk and
cotton for producing brocaded effects.
These latter have been 80 expensive
lately as to be out of reach Of all but the
latest purses. The invention will
| greatly reduce the cost.

The Sewer Dilapidated Streets Must
Remain so Two Years.
The streets where sewers have
been laid are still in a very dilapi-
dated condition and the worst of it
is that the street commissioner has
been ordered by the public i'm

street repairing fund held back
from the contractors money as

1t is said the contractors have
declared that by the terms of thei +

whole job is finished, which will be
in about two years, more or less,
and that the city has no right to
interpret the contract otherwise
and have the work done and
