FORTUNES FROM GARBAGE.
Science Converts the Refuse of Cities Into
Steam, Fertilizers, Soap, Etc.


William George Jordan, writing on
Wonders of the Worlds Waste, % in
The Ladies Home Journal, says; 1.-THE
garbage of a great city is worth for
tune every year if properly utilized. In
st. Louis the refuse is placed in enor-
nous vertical cylinders, surrounded by
steam jackets, which evaporate the rs
to 80 per cent of water in the garbage.
The fatty substances are dissolved and
as the result of a number of processes a
fertilizer is produced which is worth
from SO to $12 per ton, the demand ex-
ceeding the supply. One of the purest
and best soaps of the country was made
of garbage grease before cottonseed oil
entered the field. 1t is now proposed to
light London by electricity for nothing.
1t now costs that city $1.08 as. Sd. to
get rid of ton of garbage. A combina-
ton of rollers and other apparatus has
been devised that can burn the garbage
at "a cents { l shilling) per ton and gen
crate steam sufficient to run enough dy-
namos to light the entire city. London
can thus save 3s Sd. on each ton and
in addition illuminate its city without
cost Garbage, by machine called the
dust destructor, is converted into clink-
ers which can be used for roadways, as
artificial stone for sidewalks and as
sand for mortar and cement In Paris
the invisible particles of iron, worn
from wheels and from the shoes of
horses, are rescued by passing powerful
magnets through the sweepings.

In an intervi h. exp,e-s4d himself
rs strongly opt % q t. ii c mtination
OF the silver REPUBLICANS *itn Nc
Kinley Republicans in his State this
fall. On the money question he sad:
ut is the purpose undoubtedly OF this
Administration to retire the green
backs and treasury notes and perfect
a system by which the National
banks will be authorized To issue all
paper money. Their next move will
be to retire silver and then bank notes
will not be legal tender. What will
be the result? The Administration
will have succeeded in making gold
the only money by which debts eau be
paid. All debts will have to be paid
in the yellow metal"
Mr.. Teller was OF the opinion that
the International commission will &C.
complish little for blmetallism.
"The country will lose nothing by
th' If failure" he said; "puolic ap-
prevail is the price for which they
are working. and they will not take u
decided stand on either side for fear
Of losing votes on either one side or
the other"
1.-THE outlook is indeed dark for sill
yer, but our forces are far from dis
couraged. We do not hope for relief
during McKinley's Administration,
but the time is surely coming when
we will be victorious, and that before
the expiration Of another Presidential
term. The feeling is gradually but
surely changing throughout the
country and I predict that in 1850
free silver will carry the country as
by storm"
I'm your opinion, who will likely
receive the nomination on the Free
Silver ticket?" he was asked.
"Well," be replied "William Jen-
nings Bryan is the most likely candi
date for the nomination., although
things m ay change greatly before the
times "a for the silver people to
make the nomination. He is the
strongest man today hal could be
selected, and as this fact becomes bet
ter known the chances for our success
at the mex election increases. for
everything rests upon united action
on our part. You may rest assured
that the fight will be carried on with
renewed vigor in 1900. and if We lose
we will have gained strength fo1 our
next encounter, when there IS, in my
mind, no boubt but we will conquer

NEW ROAD IN PROSPECT.
A Highway Through Fell Township
to Forest CITY.

Bryce r. Blair has been appointed
one of the viewers for the opening of a
road from Richmondville, north of this
city, to Forest City.
The road laid out by the surveyors
runs through the Warren estate, and
is without heavy grades The objec-
tion is made to the road that in cross
ing the railroad leading to the mines at
Richmondville, the mine cars would be
greatly in the way, standing upon the
track. The road could pass around,
but this would require crossing a steep
hill, and so would be a great disad-
vantage. The question has been dis
cussed for some time, but now some de-
cision will be made.
