Courts Of Love.

Courts Of love" were established in
the middle ages, when chivalry was at
its height and love the serious occupa-
ton Of life among the higher class of
society. The first ''court Of love" was
established in the south Of France in
the twelfth century and was composed
Of knights, poets and ladies, and their
decisions ON subtle questions connected
with affairs Of the heart were given
with great formality.

AMERICAN HOIST & DERRICK COM
PANY'S CONTRACT TO BUILD
MORTAR CARRIAGES
KEEPS THE WORKS GOING.
UNDERTAKEN WEST OF
CLEVELAND.
Capt. A. III. Russell, of the Ordinance
Department., Subjects Each Piece
to Closest Scrutiny.

The works of the American Hoist
and Derrick company, on South Robert
street, present very lively appear
ance just at present Two crews Of
men, numbering IT'S skilled artisans,
keep the place in operation day and
night. The cause of this unusual ac-
tivity is the large contract recently
secured by this enterprising st. Paul
concern from the United States gov
ernment-the building of fifteen mortar
carriages for the ordnance department
of the army.
The contract price is $4,000, and of
the material entering into the con-
struction, there will be not less than
600 tons of iron and steel. Some of the
castings will weigh fifteen tons each,
and, being of gun iron, are exceedingly
difficult to make. This is the first work
of the kind ever undertaken west of
Cleveland Some of the smaller cast
ings are already being turned out. and
the contract is to be finished within q
year. The mortarS for which these
carriages are intended will be made at
the navy yard at Washington. The
mortars are intended for coast de-
Tense, but just where they will be
placed is as yet a secret.
Capt A. H. Russell of the ordnance
department, stationed at Rock Island,
is here for the purpose of inspecting
the work as it progresses, and every
casting is subjected to the closest scru-
tiny and test Uncle Sam insists on
having only the best.
To fulfill this contract, the American
Hoist and Derrick company has been
obliged to greatly increase its facilities
and add to its plant, and has just set
up the machinery and moved into two
large new buildings in it's yards. One
of these is a machine shop, 92X140 feet
in size, fitted up with a 100-horSe pow
er Buckeye engine, a fifteen-ton electric
crane, a SiXty-foot boring mill, an
eight-fOOt lathe, and a carload of
smaller lathes, planning machines, etc,
which have just arrived from Chicago.
The other building is the new foundry,
60X1G0 feet in size, with a cupola fur
twenty tons of iron per hour, fifteen
ton crane and other machinery. These
improvements cost upwards of $4,000.
Oliver Crosby, the manager Of the
company. is proud of all these addi-
tons and improvements to the works
of his concern, inasmuch as it is now
thoroughly equipped for the heaviest
and largest work in it's line, work
which heretofore could not be under
taken by any establishment in
the Northwest. Incidentally, it may be
mentioned that the company is also
filling several large orders for hoist
ing apparatus and other machinery for
the sugar regions of the South.
