This was the legend that adorned
the single factory Of one, George A.
Krouse, and by which he attempted
to influence those employed therein
from exercising their rights as free
American citizens. 1t is a historical
fact that Bryan was not elected, but
it is also harsh, cold fact that Krouse 5
stock was sold by Sheriff Compton on
Tuesday to satisfy executions against
him. Had Bryan been elected we
have no doubt Mr.. Krouse would have
attributed all his troubles to that fact,
and we are at loss to know on whom,
or what, he now lays the blame. In
his financial troubles he has our sin
cerest sympathy, but perhaps 1t isjust
retribution for his attempt at political
intimidation Warren Register.

Disapproves of Dueling.

Old Grand Duke Charles of Sake
Weimar, brother-in-law of the late
Emperor William, and granduncle
therefore of the young Kaiser, is en-
tirely at variance with the latter on
the subject of dueling, an institution
of which he disapproves in the most
pronounced manner. The other day.
when dining at the mess of the Prus-
sian cavalry regiment that bears his
name, and of which he is the honorary
chief, his attention was attracted to
an officer whose face was covered with
scars of sword cuts.
How many times have you been
on the field?" inquired the aged grand
duke. sixteen times,' was the re-
sponse of the captain, and it was given
with a certain amount of swagger.
What much better use you might
have made of your time," retorted the
prince, and with the exclamation of
What fool!' he turned his back
upon the officer, who remained literal
ly open-mouthed with astonishment.

MINING OF MICA.
The Principal Source of the Entire World
Ia in Car

The Principal Source of the Entire World
Is in North Carolina.
1.-The principal source Of the mica
used by the entire world" said Thomas
Padgett, of Bakersville, N. c., who is
stopping at the St. James, ''is in North
Carolina, in the vicinity of my home
Mica is found there in all sorts of
blocks, of various thicknesses and
shapes, which can abet spill it. and @resplit
almost without limit, until it becomes
the transparent pane of commerce.
The material is embedded or scattered
through the feldspar with which the
surrounding mountains are mostly COW
cred. The veins are found between
walls of slate. It is blasted from the
surrounding rock by means of dyna-
mite, and is freed from all impure mat
ter by miners with chisel and pick.
From the mines it is taken directly
to the shops, where it is split into thin
sheets and trimmed into regular forms,
which are then ready for the market,
the price varying according to the size
of the sheets. The average size will
fit an ordinary parlor heater. In rare
instances, sheets as large as twenty
four by eighteen inches are found, but
there is seldom or never a demand for
mica of this size, SO the sheets have to
be cut down. Most Of the mines, as
have said, are exceedingly profitable,
but sometimes one is found where the
mica is so scattered that it would not
be profitable to work. No money is
wasted on such a mine however, for
an experienced mica miner can tell at
glance whether a mine will pan out
all right or not. .''-Pittsburg Dispatch.

THE fact is that we have country
capable Of producing all the precious
stones known to science, but so much
attention has been given to the mining
OF iron, coal, oil, silver and gold that
the more precious products of the rocks
have been neglected. I remember t.is-
t1nctly in California, when the gold
fever was at it's height, miners thcew
up several fairly good specimens of
diamonds, but in their craze for the
yellow metal they paid no attention to
the precious stones. They knew all
about gold mining, but nothing about
diamonds. Now that the gold fields
have been exhausted I guess many of
them wished they had stopped and
pocketed some of the precious stones
they threw away. If we made as
thorough preparation for diamond min
ing as they do in South Africa, we
would find this country much richer in
materials than anybody anticipates. A
company has recently been organized
to- develop the mines OF precious
stones in the south, and it has num-

They will be provided with the proper
machinery and not with coal and gold
mining instruments. 1t is all wrong
to- suppose that coal or gold miner
would unearth the precious stones if
they happened to be in the mountains.
The precious stones are not always
found where the gold and coal fields
| are located. 1t needs distinct machin-
cry and methods ana this is the only
way that we can ever hope to develop
the gem resources of this country.
The company which have been travel
ing for has already made negotiations
for large tracts Of mineral land alo1g
the Appalachian system, and it will
make immediate efforts to develop the
mines. I have no doubt but they will
strike many unexpected fields of pre-
cious gems, and the country will get
new idea of the resources of the mines
of the south.

Physicians ON the Wheel.

Two uptown physicians, who re-
Gently sold their horses and took to-
bicycles for business, say they are say
ing money, gaining health, and are
reader than they were for more clients
because of time gained. In several
emergency cases they have got in
ahead of their former usual time,
much to the patients advantage. They
say some of their old-fashioned pa
tients shifted at them for a while on
account of the wheels. That, however,
is all gone now; nobody among the cir
Gle they visit seems to notice how they
travel. They do not wear knicker-
bockers, however, and they do not in
sist on dragging their wheels into front
halls; they lock them by chains to any
thing outside they can find. One Of
them is enthusiastic over the idea of a
bicycle ambulance corps, consisting Of
half a dozen young surgeons prepared
to 60 further in the same line than
frst-aid-to- -the-injured people do.
There are dozens of cases every week,
he says, where most valuable assist
ance could be given by prompt avant
courier Of the ambulance. The same
sort of thing has been talked of for
the fire department, but the officials
are slow to act, notWithsts nding the
example of the police, which has been
most conspicuous in it's complete sue
cessfulness in this and most other big
cities.-New York Post.

oi4sASA 1hVcSISatOFS Claim ThaN
They Are Not Specially Danger.
Gus.
The scarlet unifom of the British in
fantry has been greatly criticised in
recent years, chiefly on the ground that
it exposes the men to needless danger
by disclosing their whereabouts to the
enemy. The objectioii taken to the
scarlet, however, is groundless, and
scientific reasons are given why the
prevailing color is for all purposes the
most suitable that could be selected.
In the first place, scarlet affords the
best attainable protection against the
extremes Of heat and cold to which
soldiers are liable to be exposed. The
darker the color protecting a warm
body the more rapidly radiation pro-
ceeds. White would be the best color
to reduce radiation to minimum; but
white is barred by other considera-
tions, as are also all the grays. Scar
let or red comes midway between
white and black or other dark colors,
while with reference to protection from
the sun scarlet takes a far higher place
than any of the blues, green's or drabs
and other shades often used for mill
tary clothing.
Yellow or orange is excluded because
these colors are particularly conspicu-
GUS at a long distance. Although: scar
let or red is more conspicuous than
gray, when the sun shines directly on
the troops it bllrs on the sight, and is
consequently more difficult to hit.
With existing rifles the actual result
of fight is usually decided at a dis
tance just outside the effective range
of the weapons. This distance lies be-
tween 600 and 800 yards. Nearer than
that it is impossible to close without
replying to the enemy's fire, and as
soon as the return fire whistles about
the defenders heads the possibility of
aiming rapidly and accurately de-
creases.
Therefore, from this point of view, it
lis 4unimp ortant whether the object to
be hit is conspicuous or not, but from
a moral point Of view it is a serious
consideration. Within 700 yards each
subsequent advance is conditioned by
ire-superiority already achieved; the
defenders are shaken; the time for
counting heads is past, and the mental
impression conveyed by the sight of
the assaulting troops becomes the main
point
1t is a distinct advantage that our
men should bulk large in the decisive
stages of an encounter ,and there is no
color which enables them to do this so
effectively as scarlet. On the whole,
therefore, every scientific considera-
ton justifies the retention Of scarlet as
the best uniform for our troops.-Pear
sons Weekly.

Tore Down a Fine Opera Hons.

Butte, Mont, Special: Maguire's
opera house, erected at a cost of $50
900, and opened to the public seven
years ago is a mass of ruins. James
A. Murray had been decreed by the
supreme court to be the owner of the
building. Numerous judgments for
mechanics liens were entered, and the
Grand opera house company was given
the grounds under a mortgage. The
company refused to buy the house and
also refused to sell the ground, and
Murray put big force of men to
work to tear down the building.
