A Washington dispatch says: "The
fact has been recognized among metal
workers that the sole obstacle to the
wide use Of aluminium was Its high
cost as compared with other useful
metals. Therefore 1t will be good news
to learn through United States Consul
Germain, at Zurich, that In q short
time, probably within year. the price
Of this metal will fall to about 27 cents
per pound. SO that but three CONNER
cial metals will be cheaper than alu-
minium. namely. iron, lead and zinc.
The consul bases this statement upon
the figures he has collected, showing
the production Of aluminium and the
prospective increase Of the plants. Last
year the output was 1910 pounds
daily. Of which 4.1sa pounds daily were
produced In the United States. This
year the plants will be increased to
bring the daily product up to ~. .4S0
pounds"

Pearls Hurled Under water.

An interesting story is told concern
ing some of the jewels belonging to
the empress of Germany. She owns a
very hne necklace, made of large pearls.
well matched in size and singularly
pure in color. The necklace, however,
had been laid aside for some time,
away from the light and air, and AZ a
natural result the color OF the pearls
had suffered considerably. In fact,
when the empress took out her neck
lace it was 80 discolored that she found
she could not possibly wear 1t in Its
then condition. The court jeweler,
when appealed to. gave 1t as his opin-
ion that nothing would restore the pris-
tine purity Of the pearls except very
long immersion in the sea. A glass
case was accordingly made, with holes
in 1t to admit the water, the pearls
were deposited in It and 1t was sunk
full fathoms five" in the waters of the
North sea. The spot chosen 10 close

Urbana, Ohio. June 4.-The climax In

this morning. For two hours the jail
was surrounded by bowling mob Of
at least 1000 to ! 500 people. Advances
were being made no close to the guards
that they nt last opened fire on the
crowd, and at least twenty shots were
fired. Killed:
Harry Bell. shot through the head.

Physicians are on the ground attend
ing to the injured. The sheriff has
wired Governor Bushnell for assist
ance.
When the shooting occurred a crowd
OF thousand people stood congregated
around the Jail. 1t had been rumored
that nm attempt would be made on the
Jail and hang Mitchell. The crowd
was more bOisterOus than at any time
since the prisoner had been confined in
the Jail. The crowd was bowling for
the prisoner. and more determined to
secure Mitchell. 1t had crowded into
the Jail yard and was crowding to-
ward the Jail. Captain George W. Leo
nard, In command OF the militia. ad-
dressed the crowd, and gave them
three minutes to disperse. There was
general rush from the Jail yard, but
the crowd again returned.
The noise had subsided, the demon
stration was less pronounced. Fully
half an hour had elapsed from the time
the order was given, when the roaring
Of the musketry WAS heard. Volley af.
ter volley was fired. until as many as
twenty shots had been fred into the
crowd.
Mitchell had pleaded guilty and had
been sentenced to the penitentiary for
twenty years. The sheriff does not
dare attempt to take him to the peni-
Tertiary until he has large force OF
militia to aid him.
The feeling on account Of the shoot.

Springfield. ILL.,, June 5.-The Legis-
lature adjourned sine die mt 4 o'clock
this morning. The last hour of this
law-making body was a rough and
tumble farce. The chamber OF repre-
sentatives was in an uproar. Paper
balls, pasteboard boxes. hooks and
even market baskets were used at the
game of pitch and toss. \ couple OF
facetiOus members broke up the tops
of their desks and. with pieces, pound
ed the remnants. While all this was
going on Charles f. Selby who was in
the chair. complained OF the undigni-
fled conduct of a couple OF members
who had put on their hats.
Votes on many bills were recorded on
one side or the other. and nobody but
the clerk knew they were recorded.
Bills were passed, and nobody hut the
speaker and the clerk knew the bills
by number, to say nothing Of knowing
them by title. The Senate was equally
disorderly and personal encounters
were narrowly averted in many in
stances.

tionment bill. introduced by the 40
called machine. and over which a

extrn session. 1t is thought. however,
that the defeat Of the revenue bills
and the failure of the Legislature to
take on the appOrtiOnment bill may
result In such action.
