Visit to Canton.
Charles Hanford. the well-known WASH
ington actor. has just returned from trip
to Canton. Ohio. on visit to Governor Nc
Kinley, in company with Thomas w.
Keene. Mr.. Hanford met Mr.. Keene by APP
pointment in Philadelphia, and the two
journeyed to the town that is just now the
Mecca Of the republicans to pay their re-
spects to the nominee Of the st. Louis con-
vention. The visit was an exceedingly
pleasant one, Mckinley and Keene being
o.d-time friends. and an enjoyable CONVEX
satiOn of over an hour was participated in
by the three gentlemen. Mr.. Keene then
went west and Mr.. Hanford returned to
this city.
Keene does not look unlike Mckinley. and
at some distance the likeness is remark
able. Keene had occasion to sit on the
porch OF the house while the major was in
side for some minutes, and number of
people passing the front of the house
raised their hats and saluted, as they sup
posed. the nominee for the President of the
United States. Keene graveiy returned
their salutations, and when he went in the
house remarked that he was going to ap-
ply for the position of understudy to the
governor. so that the latter could attend to
his business and at the same time return
the salutations of his friends through his
double. keene says he owes his success
on the stage to the town of Canton, and

The next day thought the people of the

The Essential Point,

Shrewd and successful adver-
tisers know that a bogus, fake
circulation, given away or sold
at a nominal figure and predes-
tined to the gutter, ash pile and
garbage dump. does not bring
results.
Advertisers pay for profitable
results and to get them they
know that a home circulation Il
essential. That's why the ad-
vertising columns of The Star
are a daily directory of the sue
cessful business men of Wash
ington.

them to the Commissioners. These regula-

from the passengers ON his train. 1t Is as
follows: "A base bail game was in progress
yesterday afternoon at Hill Top. where the
Cooking tragedy occurred. and after the
game was over the ACCESSIBILITY of lynch
ing Cooking was discussed in order to save
the county the expense of trying him. The
crowd was sober and was composed Of some
of the leading residents of the county. 1t is
said The idea of lynehing the accused
net with general favor, and as calmly as
if they were planning another base ball
game the lyncning of Cooking was plotted.
After all arrangements had been made the
ball players dispersed and met again near
the Jail at Port Tobacco shortly before
midnight. The lynching party numbered
probably twenty-five. and I'll were masked.
A number wore. swomen's dresses TO COM
plete their disguise. and it is said several
women were with the mob. The rattle-trap
old JAIL in which Cooking was confined was
in charge of an aged colored man, who
Was aroused and ordered to give UP the
keys.
Persuaded by Revolver.
He hesitated. but when revolver was
thrust in his face he weakened and prompt
ly handed them over. In another minute
the Jail door was unlocked and the mob
was inside. Cooking, who had len awak-
ened by the noise outside. seemed to fully
comprehend the object of the mob's visit
and crouched tremblingly in his cell. With
out delay his cell was opened and he was
dragged out of the Jail. He seemed almost
stupefied with fear, and offered little or no
resistance as he was hurried to a little
bridge over Port Tobacco run, a few hun
dred yards distant from the Jail. A noosed
rope was produced and thrown over his
head and frightened about his neck He
was then asked to confess. He refused and
declared he was innocent.
Well. then, say your prayers, for your
time has come yelled some one in the
crowd.
Would Not Pray.
1.-THE doomed man also declined to pray
and the end Of the rope was then thrown
over the limb of tree which overhung the
run. and Cooking was pushed of the
bridge The limb of the tree bent until his
feet rested in the water. He struggled very
little and died of strangulation. After the
lynching the mob quietly dispersed. Just
as the doomed wretch was about to be
pushed off the bridge. the rattle of car
riage wheels was heard coming up the
road, and detail of several men was sent
down the road to stop the newcomer He
proved to be a travelling salesman gong
from Hill Top to La Plata. He was the
only witness. outside of the mob to the
lynching. 1t is generally believed that the
lynchers were excited after hearing of the
hanging Of the negro murderer Ford at
Washington yesterday. and Of Truss, exc
cuted at Elkton. and decided that it was
time that Cooking should share their fate"

Electricity and HOrseshOeIng.

Horseshoers are not permitting other
crafts to get ahead Of them in the util-
lzation Of electricity, the most versatile
of energies and powers. They have taken
to heating their horseshoes by electricity,
and the queer part of 1t is that they
heat the steel and iron under water.
This electrical forge can be put in a
water bucket, for it is only necessary that
the box, tub, bucket or tank holding the
liquid be built out of some non conduct
ing material.
Generally it is wooden box thirty-one
inches long, ten inches deep and eighteen
inches wide The forge is connected
with the ordinary arc or incandescent
light system, and the positive terminal
enters the box and it attached to lead
plate which is sunk in the liquid.
The solution is composed Of water,
carbonate Of soda, borsx and alum.
The negative terminal ends in bar Of
metal about three-qusrters Of an inch
thick, which rests on the edge of the
box.
The horseshoe to be heated is held in
the tongs, and plunged in the water,
the tongs resting on the bar OF metal
which is connected with the negative
terminal. The current passing from the
lead plate through the solution Of the
submerged horseshoe makes an arc
around the metal which is under the
water.
The arc is formed by the creation Of
hydrogen, the oxygen and nitrogen
being expelled, thus making an envelope

of gas around the shoe which keeps the
air out, and prevents any scale from
forming. A shoe is heated to welding
heat in a few seconds, and there is no
danger to the blacksmith from the
current
Copper and brass may be heated in
this way and welded without flux, and
all kinds OF metal can be heated in this
odd forge. Three blacksmiths can heat
horseshoes in this electrical forge at the
same time without interfering with each
other.-C Chicago Record.
