pipes and steam fittings. Tortoise shell
combs, except as ornaments, have been
entirely suspended by those made OF
hard rubber. .Vulcsnite mOuthpieceS
are now far more common on pipes
than those made of. amber or bone.
Noiseless rubber tires for cabs and
carriages have already driven steel tires
into the background in London, Paris,
st. Petersburg and oil the large cities
of Europe. Rubber horseshoeS are now
worn by racers and circus horses alike,
and the use of rubber tires and horse
shoes is rapidly becoming common in
this country. Horseless carriages,
which are now seen so frequently in
the streets of Paris as to attract no
attention, are all equipped with pneu-
matte tires. In short, there is no end
to the uses of rubber and its adapta-
bility to new purposes receives daily
illustration in almost every fresh me-
chanical invention. What is better
still, the United States leads the world
in the manufacture of rubber goods of
every description.
JOHN BULL COMPLETES WITH US.
But how long the United States can
continue to hold this practical monop-
oily is quite another question. 1t is a
singular fact that at this stage of the
India rubber age" the rubber tree
should remain practically uncultivated;
and that to this very lack of cultiva-
ton the land of Uncle Sam should owe
its supremacy in the trade. England
has awakened to the fact that vast
profits may lie in the systematic Gull
tivation of the trees best calculated to
produce the wonderful gum. 1t hap
pens, however, that the American i'm
porters, having established lines of
communication with the natives of

RUBBER IS EVERYWHERE.

There is hardly a business man and
no postoffice in the country which have
not more than one rubber stamp. Ev-
cry billiard table has rubber cushions.
Nearly every working horse in the
country has rubber sheet to protect
him in wet weather. There must be
20,000,000 men and boys in the United
States today wearing elastic suspend
ers, and at least an equal number of
women and girls who wear elastic
carriers. Every theatre has its rubber
gas bags while nearly every house has
ct least one rubber mat. Rubber belt
ing is extensively used in machine

HOW THE CHILDREN HELPED.

During the year 1894 the public school
children of New York city used three
tons of rubber ink erasers, while those
of Brooklyn used two tons. 1t has been
calculated from the books of a large
manufacturer that the school children
of town of 1900 inhabitants use 500
rubber bands every year, larger towns
and cities using proportionate guam
titles.
Less than half the bulk of the white
rubber which we see in tubing, ink
erasers, cheap toys and other articles
consists of the pure gum, whiting and
tale being added TO give these goods
their characteristic appearance and to
make them resist oxidation longer. An
enumeration of the various uses of
rubber in the arts would fill a large
volume, Thus, the surgeon is able 10
perform bloodless operations by using
Esmarch's bandage, he uses an atom
Ter TO spray disinfectants, he uses rub
Der tubing TO drain wounds and rubber
syringes to irrigate them, and some
times he orders rubber hot water bags
for his patients. The dentist uses q
rubber base in which TO fix a set of
false teeth. The electrician wears rub
Der gloves when he wishes to insulate
his hands from the danger of a chance
current, and mixes rubber with all the
insulating material for wires above
water

BICYCLES BIG IMPETUs.


OF course, the ubiquitous bicycle has
done much to send rubber importations
careering upwards. Rubber importers
are quite sure that the gradual rise in
the price of Para rubber for the last
few years is due to the demand for
pneumatic tires for bicycles. A writer
in the London Times has recently care
fully estimated the output of bicycles
IN the United States for the present
year at 100000, and of Great Britain
at 100000. Each of these bicycles Will
require two pneumatic tires, or alto
gether 3,500,000 Each pair OF tires
weighs about three and a half pounds,
OF which two pounds are Para rubber
There will thus be 3500,000 pounds of
Para rubber consumed out of total
production of the Amazon basin of
45.1S8,613 pounds for the year 1895. Thus,
roughly speaking, s per cent of all the
Para rubber now produced goes into
bicycle tires
Ii is only in bicycle tires and in fine
Tnackintoshes that the better grades OF
Para rubber are used pure. For all
other purposes either inferior qualities
OF Para rubber are taken, or the better
grades are blended with rubber from
other parts of the world. such as Cen
trail America, Africa and the East In
dies. The total quantity of rubber ex-
ported from these countries amounts to
little more than half that derived
from the Amazon basin. The defect of
all inferior rubbers is their tendency
to grow soft after a certain amount of
wear.
The rubber shoe industry consumes
a very large quantity of rubber, there
being several factories in New Eng
iand Which can each make &C, 900 pairs
of rubber shoes a day. Some idea of
the total output may be gathered from
the annual auction sales of rubber
shoes in Boston last November, when
10000 cases of shoes were sold for $780,
600, representing some 100000 pairs of
shoes. Large as this number may
seem, it only represented seconds
as the perfect goods were disposed of
in the ordinary way

PYTHIAN CASTLE OPENING.
An Elaborate Spread and an Enjoyable
Dance Last Night.

An Elaborate Spread and an Enjoyable
Dance Last Night.
The opening of the new Pythian
Castle at the corner Of Twenty seventh
and Chapline streets last night was a
complete success in every respect, the
new building being crowded to over
flowing. The people began to arrive
at about a quarter of eight, and by half
past eight, crowd of between six and
seven hundred persons had cOngregated
in the spacious auditorium and gallery.
The dancing began at about nine
o'clock. and the floor was crowded most
of the time, as many as hundred and
forty persons participating in many of
the dances. Excellent music was fur
nished by Meister's orchestra. The
terpsichorean programme consisted of
twenty-fOur numbers.
Although the new building is not vet
completed in the interior. the decora-
tons were tastefully and artistically
arranged. Everybody was in the very
best of spirits, and it is useless to say
that a highly enjoyable time was in
dulged in by all.
The highest commentator is due the
committees and lodge for the success
achieved is evidence of the unlimited
pains taken by them to insure such
result. Upstairs. a bOuntiful supper
was spread on three large tables. ex-
tending nearly the entire length of the
lodge room.
The new temple which is very fine
structure, was erected at a cost slightly
exceeding thirty thousand dollars. OPP
erations were begun on the building
in the early part of last September. and
it was the original intention of the
contractors to have completed their
work by December 18th, but on account
of unlocked for delay. their plans did
not materialize. and the building is
not yet completed, the work being now
expected to be finished By May 1st.
The capacity of the auditorium and gal
lery is estimated at eight hundred
and forty persons. The stage. when
completed, viii be one of the finest
equipped in the city
The names of those composing the
committee on arrangements are as fol-
lows: A. c. Medick. Geo A. Weisner.

She Was Given an Enthusiastic Greeting in

A very large and enthusiastic audi

ian Church yesterday afternoon and
found the lecture, albeit two hours in
length, all too short 10 cover the
ground required to anything like com
plete the subjec, mauter discussed.
In the most charming way Mrs. Miller
disclaimed the title of dress reformer,'
and from the seven beautiful gowns that
she dOnned for the education of her au-
dience she proved that she was not an
EXTREMIST in any sense. She simply
adapts her dress to the highest physi-
cal Improvement of woman, carrying
out purely hygienic and higher physi-
illogical idea, giving to dress an alto
geJher higher moral standard, and US
ing IL in helping to build a perfect hui
man structure.
Impressed with the logic of her argu-
ment and benefited by the privilege
which Mrs. Miller most cordially in
vites OF asking questions. the audience
became clamorous for a second lecture.
Mrs. Miller had fortunately one open
date, which was at once secured by the
committee in charge, and she appears at
the same place on Thursday afternoon,
April 9th, at o'clock prompt, the
early hour being necessitated by an en-
gagement which compels Mrs. Miller to
leave the city at ( o'clock. The sub
ject OF the lecture viii be The artistic

cade, which so charmed the ladies who

In Wheeling, Where bats Arc Made to Fit
Any Head.
Many fastidious dressers will not
wear any article which is not custom
made. but there is invariably an eX-
ception when il comes to hats. This
is due to the fact that, until within the
past few days, it has been impossible
to get hat made to order in this city.
Mr.. Z. E. HOdshOn has opened an es-
adjustment at No. 1864 Main street.
for the manufacture of hats to fit long.
round. square, or "'swelled" heads. and
he is already doing a remarkable bust
ness.
The process of manufacturing hats is
interesting. and many persons have
called TO watch Mr. Hodshon and his
assistants. He buys the bodies. which
are handmade. guaranteed durable and
fast cOlors, and as nearly nOn-break-
able as can be made The unshaped
hats are then made to fit any measure
ment. In addition TO the manufacture
Of new hats. Mr. Hodshon makes a spe-
cialty of remOdeling and renovating
old hats ironing silk hats, etc. for
which the charges are remarkably rea-
sonable. Hats are made TO order from
50 up, and are guaranteed superior to
factory made articles at the same price.

Figures furnished by Hon Carroll d.
Wright show that the industries of the
South have radically changed during
The last thirty years. and that there is
something else gong on there beside
the production OF cotton. In the CEN
sus Of 1850 the product Of cotton cloth
a. the South was S7.500.000. and the to-
tai product Of that part Of the country
was agricultural amounting to- S229.-
100000. The census Of 1890 showed
that the manufactures of the single
state of Georgia in that year exceeded
the manufactures of an the Southern
states in 1860 and last year the same
States had S,o2S,S59 couon spindles.
while the whole country had in 1860
only 5.035Oo0.
