American Iron Ior seoEIaad.

London, Oct IT, Some smart A.
mericans have caught mapping some
smart Scotchmeu, and much coDse-
quent bad language has been heard in
Glasgow this week. 1t seems that
the Gas Committee Of the Glasgow
Corporation wanted a big supply
rext year of large cast iron piping,
and tenders We're invited in the us-
ual way. There happens to be ring
IN this particular business, and the
Glasgow iron masters, not dreaming
Of American comdeGtiou, put in
pretty stiff prices, as they had sue
cessfully done IN the past. When
the tenders came to be opened it waS
found that an American firm offered
to deliver the pipes for So a ton less
than the lowest home tender. Such
tremendous row has been kicked
up at the idea of giving the con-
tract to foreigners that the Gas Com
mittee has been practically coerced
into postponlng a definite decision;
but as the acceptance of the Ameri-
can tender means a saving Of nearly
$4,000 the probabilities are that the
United States will have the honor Of
supplying the pipes after all.-"The

An Edison Success.

New York, Oct. 27.-The Electri-
cal Engineer will publish tomorrow
the first authoritative account of
Thomas A. Edison's success in re
covering by electrical means the IRON
contained in low grade ore. The IN
ventor's experiments have been car
ried on during the past six years at
the Old Ogden IRON mines, a few
miles from Dover, N J. His process
in brief consists in pulverizing the
ore. The powder is then allowed to
fall in close proximity to electo mag
nets, which defects the iron to one
side, and the non-metallic matter
falls to the other side by gravity.

"ROCK OF AGES"
A Sketch OF the Author of That Widely
Popular Hymn.

The recent proposal to celebrate the
ASSOCIATION Of Augustus Montague Top
y with Trinity college, Dublin, has
placed the author of Rock of Ages"
once more on the borders of the living
land, says the London Sunday Maya
zine. In truth, there is some need to
have the name of Toplady recalled to
US, for, although everybody knows his
famous hymn, the man himself is all
but forgotten. Yet Toplady was a nota-
BILE character i'll the theological circles
of his time. Top,ady was the son of a
major in the army and was born in
l74O at Farnham, in Surrey. His IA
Their was killed at the siege of Cartha-
gena, before the boy was a year old,
and the future preacher was thus left
solely to the care of his widowed mother
"a sister, By the way, Of Rev. Mr.
Bate, the rector of st. Pauls, Deptford.
Like Charles Wesley, ne was pupil at
Westminster school, from which he
passed in due time to Trinity college,
Dublin, his mother having removed to
Ireland. According to Toplady's own
account, his conversion was brought
about when he was only Is by hearing
a workingman preacher named Morris
in barn at Il place called Codymain.
He died of consumption in ITS.
Toplady, besides being a laborious
student, had early employed himself IN
the diversion Of vcrsemalIing. Indeed,
he printed q little volume in Dublin in
1853, when be was only 10. Later on,
while at Broad Hembury, he issued a
collection of no fewer than 4l9 Psalms
and Hymns For Public and Private
Worship" a considerable number OF
which were from his own pen. There
are something like 1873 hymns attrib-
uted to Toplady, but only a very few
of these have attained to anything like
popularity. Indeed, if we except Rock
CT Ages, y Your Harps, Ye Trembling
Saints, and perhaps "Object of My
First Desire" we shall be safe in say
ing that Toplady's hymns have quite
passed into oblivion, or at least are re-
membered only by the curious in such
matters.
Curiously enough this favorite hymn
was written by Toplady for a contro-
versial purpose, ard it was the Wesleys
against whose doctrine the author de-
sired to protest.

architects, in accordance with your ex-
pressed wish, visited Elysian park on
Wednesday, the Sd instant, and with
care and deliberation selected what, in
our estimation, will make the most de-

benefit of the citizens of Los Angeles.
This boulevard can be extended in the
future so as to make the most effective
and desirable approach to Griffith park.
On Thursday, the 4th instant, in COM
pany with his honor, the mayor, and the
members of the park commission, also
several of our most prominent citizens,
we again visited the proposed improve
ment, and are pleased to be able to state
that the route we had decided upon met
with their cordial approval and unani-

This morning a survey party was
placed in the field to set the necessary
grading stakes, and by Monday morning

aligned and ready for construction by

brought to light.

rem has nothing to shelter them but a
bare tent.
A young boy whose clothing though
patched, was clean, showing mothers
care. said: II support mother and three

An aged minister, refined and intelli-
gent, but too old for the labors which
demand younger men, offers to work
for 81 per day. He has a wife and two
daughters dependent upon him.
An especially pitiful case is that of a
man who has lost his wife and one child
by death and met financial loss of $S000
He has five motherless children and has
had no work since last November. An
other man has an invalid wife and three
children. He does the cooking at night
and Is anxious to work by the day for 81.
An applicant waiting his turn to reg
lister said: II would almost be willing
to starve myself, but it is awful to see
the little fellows go hungry"
There are over four hundred register
ed voters who are willing to work at the
price paid and many others who need
work hesitate to accept 81 per day, fear
ing that 1t will establish the price of la
