SENSITIVE TO SHADES.
The " Valuable Invention by
AN Englishman.

self no concern as to the result. A de-
vice, the tintometer, has been invented,
by which various shades ma be re-
corded so that there can be no error.
The tintometer was recently exhibited
In Washington.
The tintometer Is an invention Of j.
w. Lovfbond of Salisbury, England.
BY its means the color and brilliancy
of any object m be measured and re-
corded 50 that the tints my be exactly
matched at any future time.
The color test has TO some extent re-
placed chemical analysis as easier and
quicker and equally certain. 1t is espe-
cially adapted for testing the purity If
ale, beer. and water, the estimation Of
carbo in steel, lead contamination OF
water. valuation of -four n other
things.
1t is constituted OF two parallel sided
tubes. \ pieces OF common mirror glass
is placed at the two openings which
show the equality of light. which must
practically be a white light, or as near
white as 1t is possible TO get. There are
NdIS i'ihttb at III ~ u ~ NupNS'
used to measure the glass standards
and other little receptacles for measur-
ing liquids.
The lecturer illustrated different
methods of measuring different materi-
ais. The light of a sea fog not contain
dnated by other light is the standard
white light most useful In making tests.
said the lecturer. 1t has been found
impracticable TO measure daylight,
oleudrlc light or any direct light, be-
cause Of the red ray, but by rejecting 1t
through glass and opal IL may be 50
modified as to be useful for purposes of
measurement
The tintometer, Mr.. Ward said, was
used with excellent results by INK man
ufacturers, dyers and painters. In de-
termining the measurement of steel the
instrument, he said, was an invaluable
aid. Several lard companies in England
n America have used 1T. and 30 has
the petroleum trust in England. Brew
ers, sugar refiners and winemakers
have also found 1t a useful instrument.
For qualitative analysis. he said, there
was no more accurate test. He said
that Il had also been employed in patho-
logical work in several English hos
pitfalls.

2 Trust TO Make iSurials More Ex.

Buffalo. N. Y, June IA secret con.
ference is being held in his city today
as the result of which the already long
list of trusts will be increased by the
addition Of a combination which Will
seek to control the output of trimmings
and hardware used I'm collins and burial
caskets. The manipulators in the pro-
posed trust represent an aggregate cap
ital Of about s15, 600, 900. and II is their
object to do away with competition and
fix prices at the highest possible figure
that can be obtained. The principal
reason for the secrecy surrounding to-
days conference is the fear that the
coffin manufacturers, who, Of course,
are the only customers of the manufact-
urers Of casket trimmings and hard
ware, might take some means to defeat
the scheme. Several of the small manu-
facturers approached by the promoters
of the proposed combine have shown a
disposition to hold aloof, and the recent
cut of 10 per cent in prices is gener-
ally supposed to have been made with
a view of bringing them to time or
freezing them out. Nearly all the man.
ufacturers are located in the east,
among the few in the west being the
following: The American Silver Plate
company, Chicago; The Elgin Silver
Plate company, Elgin, ILL.,; The Cincin-
natl Coffin company, Cincinnati, and
Hamilton, Lemmen. Arnold IL Co, OF

company, which is to purchase the in

NATIONAL REUNION.
The Purpose of the Gathering Has Hurt
the Attendance.

NV
Caldwell. O.. June l4.-Union veterans
OF the civil war representing every
state In the union are assembled here
today for the purpose of participating
in the twenty-irst annual national sol
diers' reunion. 1t is thought, however,
by many that the attendance would
have been larger but for the fact that
many objected to the purpose OF the
gathering as stated in the official call.
The following is the clause to which
exception was taken: Each state shall
send as many delegates as IL deems
proper. but no state shall have more or
less than two votes in the convention,
to the end that every state may have
equal power to decide how the soldier
vote of the union shall be cast I'm 1896.
This is the great n only object of the
gathering-the specialization and
solidihcation of the soldier vote" The
publication OF the call was the signal
for a storm OF protest. 1t was MAIN
tained that action of this kind on the
part of the veterans would do more
harm than good to any cause In which
they were interested. With a view to
securing the presence of the next presi-
den OF the United States, 1t being as
sumed that he will be republican, invi-
tations have been extended to the fol-
towing, most OF whom are expected to
arrive before night: Senators Elkips,
Cameron. PETER and Allison, General
Alger. ex-President Harrison, ex-
Speaker Reed n Governors Morton
and Mckinley.

LOUISVILLE LISTENS TO HIM

A Groat Audience Turns Ont to Hear
Carlisle.
Louisville, June 15.-Music hall was
Isle. All classes of men and all parties
were represented in the immense gath
ering. Everybody in Kentucky recog-
nizes that when Carlisle speaks it is the
earnest utterance of a deep student
and no matter how they may differ
from him they Know there is something
to be learned when he talks
For some time il had been recognized
tina this occasion would be something
out OF the ordinary and nearly all the
democratic candidates were present.
Promptly at s O'Clock Mr.. Carlisle
came and was presented by Chas. r.
Long. His reception should ave salts
fed the most expectant. When the
tremendous applause subsidized Mr.. Car
Isle waded Immediately into his SUBJ
ject. He repeated his argument that
the undervalued metal would be
driven out Of the country by the adop-
ton Of a bimetallic system, and in a
careful argument at some length COM
batted the claim that the fall in the
price of silver was due to its demone-
tization. The fall in the price of sill
yer, he contended, was due to an enor-
nous overproduction. The average an
nual production Of silver in the world
during the five years next preceding
1863 was about $66, 900, 900, while in 1893
ii was over 5000, 900, 900. an increase OF
81 per cent, much greater than the in
crease in business or in the population
of the world. Notwithstanding the
fall in silver, aid Mr.. Carlisle, silver
mining continues to be a most profita-
BILE industry. While the farmers and
other producers are struggling to live
comfortably n meet their obliga-
tons, owners of silver mines have ac-
cumulated enormous fortunes.
IF the fiat of a single government
said MIR. Carlisle, lis sufficient to impart
value to "A coin or any other commodity
perhaps these gentlemen are right, but
the whole world has been wrong for
thousands of years n all the labor
and all the taxation to which the peo-
pie Of the world have been subjected in
the past has been unnecessary and un-
tustifiable. That the fiat of the govSrni
ment does not make money was illus
trated by the history Of the trade dollar.
That was coined free of charge n de-
livered without expense to the owners
of bullion n contained 46 more grains
than was contained in two half dollars
or four quarters. 1t was legal tender
for all debts up to s., just Is half dollars

more valuable intrinsically, but with
out the credit Of the government, sank
to 80 cents, while the less valuable coin
was maintained at full par. What
happened to the trade dollar would be
exactly what would happen to all other
silver dollars If free and unlimited
coinage were adopted"

THE "ELECIRlC FUNERAL.n
Tho Bsrrisburg Trolley Runs Into tn.
Cemetery.

Tho harrisburg Trolley Runs Into the
Cemetery.
Harrisburg. Pa. June 1.-THE local
electric street railway company has in
troduced an innovation which has been
styled by the irreverant the electric
funeral" The company has laid its
track right into the cemetery, and II Is
now no uncommon sight to see a spe-
cially chartered trolley car laden with
mourners gliding through the gates OF
the city of the dead. The new move is
a boom for people Of limited means as a
car can be chartered for a funeral for S.
which will accommodate as many pas
sengers as a dozen carriages. The en-
terprfstng management OF the line is
now having constructed a special fune-
raj car equipped with all modern appli-
ances for handling dead bodies. 1t will
be a hearse and funeral procession COM
bined, as there will be ample accommo.
dations for a large number of mourners.
The livery men are greatly cast down
by the threatened Generalization Of
their business. The company has al.
ready received numerous inquiries from
electric railways in all parts OF the
country, and 1t Is beyond doubt that the
innovation will soon become general.

NAZRULLA KHAN is BORED.


Glasgow, June A.-All arrange
ments were made for the Afghan prince
Nazrulla Khan to visit and inspect thu
threadworks Of j. and p. Coates e. Co.,
at Paisley. and the shipbuilding yards
on the Clyde today, but this morning
Nazrulla positively refused to leave hiJ
bed In his hotel when he was aroused
and informed that everything was In
readiness for his coming. An elaborate
luncheon had been prepared and a large
number OF notable persons who had
been invited, together with the corpora
ton officials. were awaiting the arrival
OF h prince when they were notified
that he was still In bed. A deputation
OF guests and officials proceeded to the
hotel and finally induced his barbaric
highness TO get up and keep his en-
gagemeit to inspect the shipbuilding
yards. which he did. The hour being 10
late. he visit TO the thread works was
not made. Nazrulla acted In a similar
manner In Liverpool, where he kept the
guests waiting two hours on the occn-
sion OF his inspection OF the electric
railway In that city. The visit OF the
Afghan prince has thus far cost the
English taxpayers csc, 900.

PORTER A BRUTAL MURDERER
rho Coroner's Jury Says Ills Crime was

der committed by O.. A. Porter yesper-
day. twelve miles northeast OF thls
place. was p~remeditated and cold biooh-
cd In the extreme. SO says he coro-
ner's Jury, and Porter Is being held WIFI
n,rt bail. The parties reside on Spring
Creek. Porter, the murderer, Is an Ola
schiller of this county, a justice OF the
peace. and a member of Sprsugvlew
post No. 2l2, Grand Army of the hepup-
lie. The Woodforks. murdered, are a
family of newcomers, negroes, from
Kansas City or st. Joe, consisting 81
father. mother and ten children. the
children being all weak minded, and the
whole family very much d~ilapldated'
Woodfork. about three weeks ago, TOOK
their team, two old ponies, wagon ana
harness and left his family, going 10
carts unknown. Some time ago Wood
fork bought an old horse and go Por-
ter 10 sign the note with him When
Woodfork left his family Porter came
and got the horse and swore In the
presence of some neighbors that he
would kill the whole family.
Mrs. Woodfork went to where Por-
ter's boy was herding cattle. got the ola
horse, worth about 50, brought 1t home
and locked IL up In the stable.
Porter was soon after seen coming
across lots with a double barreled shot
gun. when the Woodfork family, think
ing IL a bluff, ran out to the barn or near
by TO keep Porter from removing the
horse. A quarrel ensued and Porter
He then turned his attention TO the
oldest boy, who by this time was on the
run over the sand hills and out OF range
of Porter's gun. A younger boy, stand
ing by the side OF his PROSTATE mother,
said:
why, you have killed my mother.
Then Porter levelcd his gun on the un-
armed boy and said:
Eyes, and I'll kill you. too and
fired. The whole load OF buckshot
passed through the boys chest about
four inches below the chin, making n
hole that a good sized man could run
his arm through, killing the boy in
stantly.
Porter then got onto a horse, threw
his gun on his back and came to town
and gave himself up: Porter says he
knocked the woman down and killed the
BOY, but did IT I'm self defense. There Is
talk of lynching Porter. burt X Is thought
that better judgment will prevail.
Porter's hearing before the county
Judge has just closed, and he pleaded
not guilty. 1t came out In evidence
that, besides knocking the mother down
and killing her boy. he snapped a cart
ridge at another boy. The gun failed
to explode. and the boys life was saved.
Since the killing Porter has no friends,
and groups of men continue to come into
town, and the end is not yet.
