THE LORD MAYORS DAY.
installation of A. Faudel-PhillipS
Accompanied by a Bril-
liant Show.
Copyrighted, 1896, by the Associated Press

London, Nov 9.-In bright, crisp
weather today, the time-honored Lord
Mayors SHOW" took place and the new
lord mayor of London, A. Faudel-Phil-
lips, was formally installed in office, sue
ceeding Sir Walter Wilkins.
The old established custom showed lit
tie sign Of becoming obsolete and owing
to the popularity of the new lord mayor
and some unusual features in the street
parade the occasion was the most inter-
esting of recent years.
The committee having charge of the
arrangements wisely determined to elimi-
nate certain absurd features from the
parade. Hitherto it has been customary
to have q series of triumphal cars repre-
senting some allegorical or historical
subject upon which numerous young
women have shivered in the November
wind. In place of these in today's pro-
cesSiOn, the cars were occupied by groups
showing the various conditions OF Lon
dOn's industries during the past century.
The procession started from the guild
the usual bunting and decorations were
displayed, these being particularly no.
ticeable in Cheapside and Newgate
street. A particularly pleasing feature of
the parade was the party of maids of
honor, who accompanied the lady mayor
ess. Another feature of the procession
was the military display. The new lord
mayor is an authority on street pagean-
try. He is also a great advocate Of
military spectacles and this feature was
largely developed. The Scots Grays
furnished the escort and several lines of
regiments also marched in the procession.
The boys of the ships Arethusa, Chiches-
ter and Warsprite attracted much atten-
ton and were supplemented by a d.
vision of the Gordon Boys orphanage.
The fire brigade also made an interest
ing showing and the advance which has
been made in locomotion during the CEN
fury was demonstrated by one of the
most perfect motor cars, in contrast
with an old-style coach equipped with
coachmen and attendants in old-fash-
toned liveries, which followed.

THROW THEM OVERHEARD.
Jones and Butler Plan to Get Rid of
Altgeld, Tillman and
DebS,

Chicago, ILL.,, Nov. 9.-"Altgeld, Till
man and Debs are to be dropped from
the silver combination" writes Waiter
Wellman to the Times Herald from
Washington. Before Senator Jones
and other free silver leaders left Chi
cago last week they agreed upon line
of policy for the coming four years.
Whether or not they will be able 10 fol-
low it out is another matter, but [ am
able to tell with a good deal of accuracy
the nature of their agreement. They
decided that so far as they were con-
cerned the agitation for the free coinage
Of silver must go on They wish, how
ever, to cut loose from Altgeld, who, they
claim, was a milestone round Bryans
neck; from Tillman, whose uncouth and
violent utterances did ''the cause" much
harm, and from Debs, whose prominence
in the campaign for Bryan alarmed all
the friends of social order and industrial
peace. Moreover, the free silver cam
paign of the future is to be waged With
out any compllcatlng conditions, such as
the attack upon the Supreme court and
upon the power of the President of the
United States to suppress disorder which
lnterfereS with interstate commerce. 1t
was agreed by Senators Jones, Butler
and their confreres that if it had not
been for Altgeld, Tillman and Debs, the
uuW ISe dlldch upon the supreme court
and the unnecessary condemnation of
President Cleveland in order to please
Altgeld, Bryan would have won the cleo
ton.
Senators Jones and Butler had no
difficulty in reaching an agreement that
Senators Butler and Jones are to be the
two big men of the silver movement of
the future. They are already laying
plans for bringing Mr.. Bryan into their
combination, though they do not by any
manner of means agree that Mr. Bryan
shall have the nomination in 1900. They
want him to take the leadership in the
campaign Of education which is shortly
to be set III motion, and if he does so
with the idea shat he is sure to be the
candidate four years hence that IS his
lookout. He may be Or he may not be-
That will be decided when the time
comes. Senator Butler mas given his
pledge to support the movement, and he
is relied upon to swing the Populsts into
line again. Senator Jones has 40 sort
of doubt that his own leadership in the
Democratic ranks will be acquiesced in
without question:.

OLD SHOES HAVE THEIR USES.
Material of Which They Are Compose
Utilized in Various Ways.

Material of Which They Are Composed
Utilized in Various Ways.
Old shoes are not waste from the
standpoint of modern industry. After
they have done their service and are dis
carded by the first Wearers, second
hand dealer restores the worn shoes to
something like their former appearance
and they are sold again, to be worn q
little longer by the poorer classes. When
the shoes are finally discarded by them
they are still good for various purposes.
In France such shoes are bought up in
quantities by rag dealers and sold to
factories, where the shoes are taken
apart and submitted to long manipula-
tions which turn them into paste, from
which the material is transformed into
an imitation leather, appearing very
much like the finest morocco. Upon this
material stylish designs are stamped, and
wall papers, trunk covers and similar
articles are manufactured from it. An
other industry of the French using old,
dilap idated shoes is the transforming of
old into new footwear. This is the prin-
cipal occupation of the military conyicts
imprisoned in the fortress of Montpelier.
There the shoes are taken apart all the
nails are taken Oul and then the leather
is soaked in water some time to soften
it. From those pieces that can be used
are cut the uppers for children's shoes
and parts of the soles are similarly used.
The smallest pieces of leather are APP
piled to be used in high Louis XIV. heels,
which were so much in style Il few years
ago. Even the nails of the old shoes are
used again. They are separated by a
magnet, which attracts the steel nails,
while the copper and brass nails are car
ried on further. The price received for
the old copper nails alone almost pays
for the first cost of the old shoes. Clip
pings and cuttings of the leather are
also used being turned into paste,
from which artificial leather is made,
and what is not good enough to serve for
this purpose is sold, with the sweepings,
to agriculturists in the neighborhood,
who use this paste with great success as
q fertilizer.-St. Louis GIobe-Democrat.

In lieu of something better I have been
using a rather small-necked five-ounce
bottle as q Watering-pot. One day dur
ing the recent dry, hot weather, [
CHANGED to leave the bottle about half
full of water sitting on the window-sill
with the pots. The heat was intense,
and | had moved my desk close up to
the window, thinking that the dust
would be preferable to the sitting air
on the other side of the room. AS | sat
there | noticed two sparrows drop down
from the dusty housetop and light in
my window. The poor little things were
about done up with the heat and the
dust; their wings were hanging limp and
their feathers were droopy. Evidently
they were in search of water. They
walked round and round the bottle, eye
ing it from all quarters, apparently con-
sidering ways and means of quenching
their thirst from the contents. Every
now and then one or the other would
hop up on the bottle, peering down its
narrow neck longingly.
Presently the two seemed to give up
the effort and fell to chattering might
lily. Feeling sorry for their helplessness,
| went across the room for a little squat
inkwell, thinking to pour some water
into it for the thirsty birds. When l
got back [ found that their own ingenu-
ity had relieved them OF their difficulty.
During my absence they had found
small brown fern-frond that had fallen
on the SILL Taking this in his beak,
one of the sparrows had mounted on top
of the bottle, dipped the frond into the
water and was generously relieving the
thirst of his friend, who sat with wide
open mouth to receive the grateful drop.
The two took turn about at the dipping
till each seemed satisfied, but after they
left | filled the inkbottle with water
against their coming again for a drink
in my window-garden.- CORE

FOUND DEEP IN THE EARTH.
A Nest of Live Bats Unearthed by Oregon
Miners.

A nest of live bats was found 100 feet
underground in Snowshoe gulch, near
Cottage Grove, in Oregon, the other day.
This is considered a most remar kable
discovery, and those who have visited
the place and seen the animals are at
Il loss to account for it.
John Dinman and Andrew Wilson
have been developing a claim in the
gulch by running a tunnel to reach the
vein. The tunnel runs obliquely, and a
few days ago, when depth of 80 feet
had been reached, the rock began TO as
loose, or hollow, in that particular spot,
and the partners knew that they were
nearing what in. miners parlance is
called "a change
Their ''holes'' We're nearly loaded when
this discovery was made, but they con-
tinued loading and then went to the sur
face and touched off the charge. Upon
their return they expected to find a vein
uncovered, or at least rock of differ
ent character from that through which
they were running.
But quite a different matter attracted
their attention when they went back to
the end of the tunnel, and the circum-
stance has been the wonder of the en-
tire country ever since. 1t has created
an immense amount of discussion, scien-
tiic and otherwise, but no certain ex'
PLANTATION has yet been adduced
Instead of finding ore or any particu-
lar change in the rock they found the
tunnel full of bats. The cause of the
peculiar sound that indicated change
of ground was Il small cave and into
this their last shots broke and out of
which came the bats. How the bats
got into the cave is the problem, and
what sustained them there? The point
is about 100 feet below the surface and
there is apparently no opening or means
Of ingress or exit. The bats. when
caught and taken out to the daylight
appeared to be without eyes and able
to fly but a little way; in fact, their
wings were but meagerly developed.
The first thing that attra cted the mems
attention GDon their return TO the tunnel
was the peculiar odor, which, notwith-
standing the amount of gas from the
exploded powder, was quite perceptible
and disagreeable.
The only solution of the strange occur
renee that has yet been offered lies in the
fact that the rock is of metamorphic
and aqueous origin, and, being in the
Cascade range, is of recent occurrence.
The rock is closely-bedded shale, and
at the time of the geological disturb
ance that put it into its present position
the bats had their nest there and then
became incased as they were found. It
would seem, too, that the bats must be
of that nature that becomes dormant
and able to retain life without food. An
effort was made to save some of them
alive, but they rapidly succumbed to
the sunlight and fresh air.-San Francis

OBJECT TO HIGH SCHOOL CADETS.
Kansas City Labor Circles Are Stirred
UD.

Kansas City, No, Nov. 9.-The or
ganization in the high school of the High
School cadets, formed as a result of
spirit of military enthusiasm by the male
students, has caused somewhat of a stir
in local labor circles and the Industrial
council, Kansas Citys central labor
body, has appointed a committee to in
vestigate the matter The committee
will report in a weeks time, and it is
said definite declarations against the
school board will then be taken AL
though the cadets have banded together
of their own accord and for their own
Instructions, the fact that the board of
education has sanctioned the organiza-
ton has caused labor leaders generally
to think it a step toward increasing the
military at the expense of the taxpayers.
