room and upon re-entering ten min
utes afterward she found him cold in
death.
The boy was James Camerty. son Of
MIR and Mrs. John ID. Cafferty, of 5l5

his sudden taking away will always re-
main unknown. His parents can only
guess at it

gossip among neighbors that some one
had beaten him for misdeed. But
this was not true for Mr. and Mrs.
| Cafferty mourn the loss of their boy
as true loving parents do IL would

Some people say that little James
Cafferty was out skating Monday. He
! fell. they say. and hurt his head. An
other story is that he slipped on the
sidewalk and struck his head against
the frozen ground.
Whatever il was the boy didn't COM
plain any to his parents when he
came into the house at II o'clock Mon
He didn't leave the house after that.
He went to bed Monday night, got up
/ in the morning and hung around dur
| ing the day.

THE OLD HOMESTEAD.

Col. Wm. Falkner. of Texas, recently visited Greenville, Ala, the home of his youth, and on returning to his western home writes an interesting letter to his local paper from which we glean the following as an evidence of the kind feel ing that ever turks in the bosom of man for the old homestead wher'er he may roam, matters not whether prosperity h s smiled upon him or the hand of advsrsity has stricken down his every effort:
 Alabama was our birthplace. the home of our gay, thoughtless early man. hood and we regretted leaving there; put preferred the contentious of fertile, rustling. wasteful Texas
 Now that we are away, conscious of never seeing it again, the memory of a Wild, untamed boyhood throws a soft h To of romantic affection bout its name. We knew it in it's druid days; when the giant oak of the forest sent it's tall branches to the skies, where now the church and city hall send their leaping spires to heaven; we knew it when the antlered buck came shifting and snorting to the cabin door, as if indignant al the invasion of his wild domain; we knew it when the Indian hunter and warrior fearlessly stalked its splendid prairie Landscapes, the monarch of all he sur veyed; we knew it when grand old men and orators trod the forum, and when her poets sang songs of love and chiv- airy before the people; we knew 1t when man stood on the billiard portico and sroke another nation into lfe-ay, and saw it fall beneath its own shield, bleed- ing from wounds made by every people of the earth. In our quiet hours. with closed eyes, shutting out all the world bsside, we dream again of the little com rades of the lorg ago, and the little girl of the dark eye and nut brown curs, that claimed the homage of our boys hearts-all, all of these are gone-but Alabama lives and we love 1t still"

STEEL FROM MOLTEN IRON.
Use of Chemicals Is Successfully Tested in Gov. Bushnells Shops in
 Springfield.

Springfield, O., July S.-A successful test was made yesterday at the foundry in the big East street shops of process of making various grades of anti-friction steel direct from molten pig iron. The first successful test was made in Gov. Bushnens foundry. Both tests were at tended by the leading capitalists and manufacturers of the city.
 The discoyerer of the process is John B. Hastings, of Belleaire, O., an old iron worker of forty years experience Asso- ciated with him are J. Bold and Charles Koplin, both of Beileaire. Their object in coming here is to interest local capital ists with view to establishing a plant in the big East street shops, built by Reaper King Whitely, and now almost wholly vacant. MT Bold said tonight that they could within three years occupy every foot of space in East street shops, which would be equivalent to having 5000 men al work. James Cashman, assistant sec retary of the board of trade, said tonight in describing the tests:
 ''It was wonderful to see these men pour some secret powder into molten pig iron and have that same iron come out of molds as the bsst steel tools at less than one-tenth the cost of the old process of forging"
 An effort will be made tomorrow to get Senator Fairbanks, of Indianapolis, own CT of the plant, interested in the process.
