AN EXTRA SESSION.
Chairman Hanna Says President Me-
kinley Will Call One.

Chairman Mark A. Hanna of the republi.
can national committee said in New York
Saturday:
Il have had comp aratively brief CONVEX
sations with Major Mckinley since his cleo
ton. Next week / expect to meet him in
Cleveland, and as Re has had time to think
ever matters, 1 presume he will have more
details than am at present aware of. But
this much i know, lie feels that he owes
much TO the patriotic democrats who pre-
fer principle TO strict party ties Indiana
for instance, was unquestionably carried
against fusion by democratic votes.
Major Mckinley will endeavor to see
collected great national party that will
give prosperity to the country. He expects
and hopes that men of all shades of for
mer political belief will be united TO this
er.d- l have talked with some of the most
influential of the old democratic leaders.
and / am glad to say they are in accord
with Majcr Mckinleys hopes.
The first movement he will make will
be 10 obtain sufficient revenue TO conduct
the governme Mt. Further issues of bonds
would be altogether too dangerous. Bust
Eess prosperity and stability demand that
as soon as possible the government should
be on paying basis.
TO this end an extra session of Congress
will be necessary. and President Mckinley
will undoubtedly call one soon after his
Inauguration.
Legislation will be required to secure the
desired revenue. and Major Mckinley will
DO everything in his power to secure it, as
well as the legal establishment of a policy
which will tend to put everybody at work.
In all this he hopes and eNpects that he
VIII be backed by patriotic men, regardless
Of party lines"
Mr.. Hanna was asked what democrats of
note he had talked with on the subject of
the future.
Il do not wish to name them ALL he
said. but / may mention Messrs w. c.
Whitney and Ahram s. Hewitt as exam-
pies"

me- SoAo ~ eatncf Expected to Start
Up the Sneak Thief.
The appearance of cool weather natural
ly suggests to the police the probability
that the ST eak thief In quest Of overcoats
and whatever else he may find will call
at residences during the early hours of
the night and under the pretense of want
ing food will clean off the hall racks For
this reason the police advise 1t would be
well that persons called upon for assistance
should be careful to see that their yisi-
tors are not given an opportunity to prac-
tice dishonesty.
Although several bicycle thieves are in
Jail or penitentiary there are others who
are willing to take the risk of being given
similar treatment. for bicycle thefts are
still being reported

Certainly Jerusalem bears the marks or

swelling hills are a fit setting. From

ON THE SITE OF soLoMoN.s TEMPLE
The Mosque of Omar as the MOham-
medan Holy of Holes.

Letter to the Springfield Republican.
There is nothing to beautiful and i'm
pressive in Jerusalem as the mosque of
Omar. 1t seems like an oasis in this des-
ert, with its olives and cypress trees
The mosque of Omar, or Dome of the
Rock, is the Mohammedan Holy or Ho-
lies, and stands where stood Solomon s
temple. This portion of Mount Moriah
is inclosed and called the Harem, or sa-
cred place. 1t is here one may rest un-
der the Rock of Ages, alike holy to Jew,
Gentle, and Turk. Here Abraham all
most offered Isaac a sacrifice, and the in

1ah's and Christs prayers both went up

Mohammed started on his aerial journey
to heaven. The Turks affirm that the
rock is suspended, because it started
to follow their prophet when he took his
flight but suddenly an angel stopped 1t in
midair. 1t seemed to me, as we went

SAYS HE IS MARSHAL NEY,s son.
The Rev. james A. Weston Writes of
firms His Book on NapOIeOn's Gem

eruh.
From the New York Times.
Rev. James A. Weston, rector of the
Protestant Episcopal church Of the As
cension, at Hickory, n. c., who lately
wrote carefully prepared work on His
toric Doubts as to the Execution of Mar
shall Ney," has informed his publisher,
Thomas Whitaker of this city, that the
theory that Ney was not killed on the day
he is supposed to have been shot in France
on Dec. Z, 1915. has been still further con-
tirmed by recent researches.
According to Mr.. Weston's book, Peter
Stuart Ney, who taught school in North
and South Carolina and died on NOV. 10,
1886, was Marshal Ney After dlllgent
search, Mr.. Weston was able to learn that
a son of Marshal Ney called upon Peter
Stuart Ney about seventeen years after
the latter arrival here, but whether this
son went back to France or remained mere
was not discovered until a few days ago,
when Mr. Weston found the missing man,
who is a respected and venerable physl-
cian DR.. Weston writes:
II found the old gentleman" writes Mr..
Weston, now IS years of age, living IN
small Kentucky town not far from Louis
VILE KY, when he learned my errand he
eVinCed no hesitation in admitting his ideh-
tity. He said that he came to this country
in 1897 and paid visit TO his father IN eX-
lie His father gave him $1,000, ana he en-
tered the Jefferson Medical College, IN
Philadelphia, from which institution ne
was graduated in due course with the de-
gree of NJ. ID. During his whole life in the
United States, however, he has lived un-
der an assumed name. He had read the
book relative to the identity of his father
and Peter Stuart Ney, and admitted the
correctness of the facts. He said that on
the evening after the supposed execution
his father visited the house of his mother
in Paris and remained a few minutes. The
man was not willing to speak without re-
serve about many matters, but he has
written a history of his father, which he
has placed in my hands, to be published at
ter his death. The old gentleman fought
in the Mexican war, and is now involved
in some international complication between
the United States and Mexico"
MIR. Weston says the mans identity will
NOT be disclosed until after his death.

THE MAKING OF PENS.
More Steel Used for Them Than for
Guns

Gums.
From the New York Mail and Express.
do You know anything about pens?''
asked a Nassau street statfoner this morn
ing of Mail and Express reporter. Il
thought you didn't Now let me tell you
something about the metallic pen that you
never dreamed of, 1t. requires the finest
kind of steel TO make a really first-class
pen have been overhauling records, and
nnu that a greater quantity of steel is
used annually in the pen making business
imam in all the gun, sword and needle
manufactures of the world. The recent
popularity of the typewriter has, of
course, diminished the use of pens, but
the output is enormous, nevertheless.
IN Blrming CHAM, England, there are a
number of pen manufactures that turn
out total of 1500O0,0O0 pens every work
ing week. The majority of the workers
are women, and the wages while low, help
to make Birmingham notable seat of in
dustry. To make million pens a full
ton of steel is requiredg There is really
so much work about the manufacture of
pen that it is surprising that they sell as
cheap as they do; but, as have said, the
production is so great that it is a prof.
table business. Pens have been in use a
whole century now, but forty years ago,
when they took the place of quilts as the
popular ink Spreader, 1t was one of the
secrets of the age how that slit was made
in the pen. Those employed in that par
ticular branch of the work were obliged TO
the secret of that slit cutting process.
THE secret became an open one, though,
in the natural course of events, and soon
almost every interested person knew that
the slit was made with a pair of scissors
fixed in press. Men perform the initial
work on "a pen. That is to say, they roll
out the steel to the proper thickness. The
women then take hold cutting the steel
into strips as wide as two pens are long.
Presses do the cutting for the women. The
steel when ii leaves the presses is shaped
like pen, but is fiat. The forms made
by these presses are then put into a red
hot furnace, and when thoroughly heated
are taken out and permitted TO cool slow
ly. This process makes them soft. Then
the women use fast presses that hammer
the points as wen as stamp the name of
the manufact urer.
This done, the pens are heated again,
and while still hot are cast into oil. They
are much harder, but dirty and greasy
when taken out To clean and whiten
them they arc then boiled in water to
which soda has been added. The next step
is to place them in a cylinder which re-
wolves over gas jets. This turns them
blue A number of other minor details
and the pen is packed and ready for the
market. Whether 1T be the rich or the
poor mans pen, the mode of manufac-
ture is alike"

THE NEGRO OF JAMAICA.
They Only Work When They Want

SOmethlDg AT tne StOFe
Jamaica Correspondence in the Boston
Waterman.
The negroes are a study. Their little one
room cabins, in which families of dozen
herd together, line all the byways and the
hillsides. Nothing has impressed me more
than does the dense population of this part
of the country. Port Antonio is a small
town of 200 or 300 houses; and you would
naturally expect to find that the surround

noon we passed through succession OF
negro villages; the roadS were filled with
men, women and children going one way
or another. In driving pair of horses

trolling the horses, though they were
well up to their work, but in avoiding
running over the countless negro babies
that swarm on the highways in every d.
