SECRET OF CAST STEEL.
Revealed to the World by Workman
Who Sought Shelter From a Storm.

From the Inventive Age.
The history of cast steel presents
curious instance of a manufacturing
secret stealthily obtained under the
cloak of an appeal to philanthropy.
The main distinction between iron and
steel. as most people know, is that the
latter contains carbon. The one is con-
verified into the other by being heated
for a considerable time in contact with
powdered charcoal in an iron box. Now
steel nus made is unequal. The mid
die Or a bar Is more carbonized than
the ends, and the surface more than
the center. 1t Is, therefore, unreliable
Nevertheless, before the invention of
cast steel there was nothing better. In
1850 there lived at Atterchffe, near
Sheffield, a matchmaker named Hunts
man. He became dissatisfied with the
watch springs in use, and set himself
to the task of making them homeoge-
neous. If" thought he, II can melt
piece of steel and cast 1t into an ingot
it's composition should be the same
throughout" He succeeded. His steel
soon became famous. Huntsmans in
gots for fine work were in universal
demand. He did not call them cast
steel.
That was his secret About ITO a
large mandatory OF this peculiar steel
was established at Attercliff. The pro-
cess was wrapped dn secrecy 10y every
one within reach. True and faithful
men were hired. the work divided and
stringent oaths administered. 1t did
not avail. one midwlnter's night as
the tall chimneys of the Attercliff steel
works ibelched forth a traveller knocked
at the gate. 1t was bitter cold, the
snow fell fast and the wind howled
across the moat. The stranger. appar-
emily a plowman or agricultural labor
er seeking shelter from the storm.
awakened no suspicion. Scanning the
wayfarer closely and moved by mo-
tives of humanity. the foreman grant
ed his request and let him in.
Feigning to be worn out with cold
and fatigue the poor fellow sank upon
/ the floor and soon appeared TO be
/ asleep. That, however. was far from
his intentions. He closed his eyes APP
| parently only. He saw workmen cut
bars of steel into bits, place them in
I cruoibles in a furnace. The fire was
urged 10 Its extreme power until the
steel melted. Clothed in wet rags &c

Mr.. Huntsman's factory had nothing
more 10 disclose. The making of cast
steel had been discovered.

Campaigning With Fists.

story illustrative of the warmth
of Kentucky politics has lately been
given out in Washington. Senator
Blackburn was recently in Washing
ton. He and Secretary Carlisle used to
be good friends but naturally the old
time relation has been ruptured as the
result of the split in Kentucky's demo-
cratic ranks.
One night during his recent visit to
Washington. Blackburn and company
of friends were sitting around a table
in Chamberlain's, taking little milk
on the side and other things" so the
story runs. The talk turned on the
Kentucky campaign. Blackburn de-
nounced in the most vigorous style of
speech the men who have been trying
to block his way to another term in
the senate-he was particularly caustic
in his remarks about Secretary Car
Esle.
In the company at the table in Cham
berlains was Lieutenant Young, of
the United States navy. 1t happens
that he is a warm personal friend of
Mr.. Carlisle. Blackburn warmed to his
work, remarking finally that he felt
like slapping the faces of some of his
critics. You are liable to get your
own face slapped" CURLY remarked
Lieutenant Young. ANY man who
would attempt to slap my face would
KILL" was the senator's reply.
The next second Lieutenant Young's
fist was planted in Blackburn's face
with so much spirit that the blood
flew; there wasn't any shooting. The
combatants were instantly hustled out
of the place. friends conducting them
in opposite directions. An effort was
made to keep the matter quiet. but 1t
got into print in Washington. 1t all
happened several days ago, and. ac-
cording TO the latest returns. Lieuten-
ant Young is alive and well.

Eugene Field.

Those who admire successful achieve
ment in the world OF letters will read
with regret the announcement that Eu-
gene Field Is dead. What ne wrote in
prose was admirable; his verse was Of
the sort that wins popular favor-he
might almost rank as poet. What he
wrote in rhyme was popular in theme
and Wsnsome IN dts rhythm.
The announcement OF the death OF
this gifted writer comes with shocking
suddenness. 1t is said in the dispatches
that, on Sunday night. he retired ap-
parenhly IN usual health. He slept IN a
room which his son shared-his expsr-
ing gasp was the first antimation ITO his
companion that the end was at hand.
Eugene Field was born In 1850. As Is
recited in the dispatches announcing
his sudden death. his father was the
drsst attorney dn the case Of bred Scott.

A Rooster of Account.

The American rooster. of the old
fashion political campaign type, is
likely to cut a remarkably important
figure in New York city to-day. Under
the New York law each of the party
tickets carries an emblem. The rooster
is the emblem of the state democracy.
A few days ago. the official ballot APP
peared with the rooster heading the
democratic state ticket and also the
local fusion ticket in New York city
which was endorsed by the state dem
ocracy.
Tammany at once declared that any
vote cast for this ticket would be lille
gal. That declaration made consider
able stir and the matter was brought
in a hurry before Judge Beach, of the
supreme court. His decision ordered
the rooster removed. Millions of the
ballots had been printed-it takes more
than four millions to go around. The
manager of the concern having the
printing of the ballots said, last Mon
day, that 1t would be simply impossi-
BILE to prepare another order of ballots
in time for use at the polls to-day.
Meantime. the question was hastily
taken on appeal to the general term
of the supreme court. Justices Van
Brunt. O'Brien and Barrett listened to
arguments and. sure enough, in short
order. they sustained the decision of
Judge Beach. The snarl is likely to
be of great account to-day.

his high charges. His ordinary fee is
S15 per hour. His extraordinary fec is

his chair and the dentist was conversing
with her while her mouth was filed
with rubber dams and things. Carried
away by his enthusiasm while talking
of a certain song. he offered to sing it
for her. Taking an inarticulate, rubber
intercepted sound for an affirmative, he
skipped lightly to the piano, which
stood in one corner of the operating
room. There he toyed with Polyhymnia,

This was the favorite residence of the

The republican press OF Illinois is

the governors mansion. There is
much opposition to Tanner through

that it will avail nothing. The re-
publican party Of today is nothing il
not combination OF bosses and dunn
mics. John X. Tanner is rs Hitter
ate rs n cow-he knows nothing but
pot.house politics. While state
treasurer he pocketed the interest
on the public funds, thus robbing
the people Of 100000 every year that
he held office. When exposure and
the penitentiarv were coming down
like an avalanche upon the squirm-
ing. covering. cringing scoundrels
in the last legislature, Tanner used
his omnipotent power to save his
pals. The investigation was stran-
gled. the Legislature was adjourned
and the thieves fled to wallow in
their booty. And yet these exploits
Of Tanner only raise him in the eyes
of his party. He is only following
in the footsteps Of Tom Platt and
Matt Quay. 1t is the straight road
to republican success. or course
