CENTURY OF GROWTH.
City Of Cleveland to Celebrate
Its Tooth Birthday.
Programme Of the Centennial Obser-
vances-Four Weeks of Parades
and Speeches

The city of Cleveland viii be 100
years old next summer, and for four
weeks, beginning July IS, the centen-
NAL anniversary viii be observed with
a great deal Of pomp and ceremony.
The celebration viii consist of various
features. There viii be conventions and
reunions Of state and national Organiza-
lions that viii bring together great
body of people, who are to be enter
tanned in all manner of ways that the
ingenuity Of the citizens Of Cleveland
can devise. There viii be big parades, Of
course, a musical festival an interna-
tiOnal yachting regatta, a bicycle meet,
banquets, balls, receptions and the like.
The revival Of the history of the city
and state VIII bring Connecticut into
the affair, for the Western Reserve, of
which Cleveland is the metropolis, was
once owned by Connecticut, and the
state officials Of both commonwealth
viii be present and viii lend a certain
dignity to the proceedings.
The celebration viii formally begin
on Sunday, July 10, when special serv-
ices viii be held in all of the churches
After this prelude viii come the real
opening on Wednesday, July p, which

viii be seen the governors of Ohio and
Connecticut and their stats. There will
be, besides the Ohio military organiza-
lions, fully 800 Of the Connecticut ma
tional guard, together with the govern
or's foot guards and the horse guards.
Tt is also expected that the five weeks
state encampment of the Ohio national
guard and the United States regulars
viii be held IN Cleveland at this time,
and, if so, these troops viii also take
part in the parade.

NEW USE FOR ELECTRICITY
1t viii Soon supercede the Old Meth
DDS of Bleaching.


Lowell, Mass, April 9.-It is be-
Eeved by some Of the leading manufac-
turers of cotton cloths here that the new
process Of bleaching by electricity is
destined to supersede some Of the old
methods within the near future. The
thought is not a new enc, but it has
been only within a short time that any
efforts have been made to do the bleach
ing on any scale Of magnitude Now,
however, it is found to be perfectly fea-
sible to bleach cloths in any quantities
at a fraction Of the cost Of the different
processes in general use, and the revolu-
ton in the trade seems inevitable.
Like SO many other developments in
electricity, this was foreseen and de-
scribed by Thomas A. Edison. Tt was
fully ten years ago that the great invent
or told me Of the feasibility Of such
bleaching and declared that if he we're
not SO busy with other matters he would
devote himself to that for a time, as he
knew the commercial value Of the idea
Nov the process is being introduced in
England by some of the principal
bleachers in Manchester, and expert
ments are being made in several Of the
mills here with a view to perfectiDg it.
So many different methods of bleaching
are in use that it is probable that the
new one viii have a long competition
ahead, but the electricians are sanguine.
The difference in cost between the
bleached and the unbleached article
roughly stated is about 2 cents a yard
retail, and the electrical bleaching can
be done for a fraction Of that price.
The way il which the cloth is treated
under the new process is briefly as fol
lows: 1t is first soaked in salt water and
then passed between two rollers that are
placed horizontally close together. These
rollers are connected with a battery or
dynamo, and one roller being Of irOns
while the other is Of carbon. they serve
as electrodes. As the current passes
from one to the other Of these rollers it
disintegrates the salt, resolving it into
its elements, chlorine and sodium The
latter, com bined with the water, makes
in an instant a caustic soda, which is
taken up by q felt covering over the iron
roller, and being squeezed out is carried
on. The chlorine remains in the cotton
and does the bleaching.
1t is true that some Of the manufao-
turers say that they find the electrical
bleaching insufficient for their purposes,
and in all likelihood there will be many
Of them who win prefer to continue
with their present methods. Those who
are working with the new process are,
however very aanguipe Of results.

amendment to the constitution which

power at once; since, under such an ar

if there were enough votes to pass a

enough to pass it over a veto.
