THE movement formally in
augurated Saturday afternoon
looking to the organization of a
joint stock company with a view
to erecting a fine hotel in the
near future is gaining in interest.
A soliciting committee to secure
the necessary stock subscriptions
will likely make the rounds this

enterprise feel safe in guaran-
teeing an investment that will
pay ten per cent. Two or three
proposed locations are being dis
cussed.

tomb, the House of Representa-
tives, to be buried by Republic
can House with a Republican
Speaker at the dictation of a Re-
publican President. 1t was an
insult to the American people,
which they would rebuke at the
polls next November.

In the course of a speech at
banquet given in his honor by
the Democratic Central Club in
San Francisco last week, Con-
gresham Mcguire predicted that
William J. Bryan will be elected
President of the United States in
1900 by an overwhelming major
thy. "The silver sentiment, said
Mr.. Mcguire, sis manifestly
growing throughout the South
and West. If the election were
to be held again, l doubt if the
Mckinley electors would be able
to carry one of the Western or
Middle Western States. Recent
ly Democrat was elected Mayor
of Canton, McKinley's home, by
a large majority. In all the cleo
tons held in the East this Spring
the Democrats have been either
successful or have cut down Re-
publican pluralities to an enor-
nous extent. All of these things
constitute a rebuke to the false
promises by which the Republic
can party led the people away
from the true path last Fall"

Silk from Spiders Web.

The web of the Madagascar spider Is
to be utilized for the purpose of silk
manufacturing by company of
French capitalists. 1t Is still remem-
bered that the Creoles of Mauritius
presented Empress Eugene with
pair of mlttens made of this spiders
threads, which were so fine that they
could hardly be noticed on her hands.
for they were almost transparent and
colorless. A French naturalist has re-
Gently ascertained that the Madagas-
car spider produces at the beginning OF
Its work more than 100 yards Of
thread per hour, increasing in quantity
until 1t produces more than $50 yards
per hour. A newly-constructed little
machine which winds the thread ON
bobbins automatically Immediately
from the spider is to be employed in
Madagascar. The spiders themselves
are to be raised systematically in enor-
nous numbers. and although the fab
RIGS made from the new material may,
be costly at first, II is not unlikely that
the present generation will live to see
dresses made Of spider web.
