Cellulose Made From the Pith-Sen
For 81 Per Ton.

Washington, D. C., Jan. 27.-The far
mers of Kansas will be interested to
know that the finest grade of cellulose
can be made out of corn stalks. Mr.. d.
N. Frank of Kentucky is here in the
city In conversation on the subject,
he said:
THE despised corn stalk, which for
all these years the farmers have burnt
as of no account, just as the cotton
planter used to throw aside the seed of
that plant as valueless, at last turns
out to be of such worth as to pay hand
sOmely for marketing.
Our farmers are selling it readily for
81 per ton, and on an acre producing
40 bushels of corn there will be at least
two and half tons of stalks. The
uses to which the stalk is being put is
one of the most extraordinary agricul-
tural discoveries of this day. At pres
ent there are but two factories in the
country that are equipped for making
celluloSe out of the material, one of
which is located at Greensboro.
"Cellulose is the pith of the corn
stalk; its uses are varied and wonder
full and it has a market value of $500
per ton. War vessels are lined with it,
and whenever a vessel so lined is pune
tured with shot, the contact of the wa
ter with the cellulose causes that to
swell, closing the aperture and pre-
venting the water from entering be-
tween the ships inner and outer
walls -

LivingstOn's foot was crushed between
the draw-head of two freight cars. Dur

OPPOSE TRADING STAMPS.
Merchants of Pittsburg Are Against
the Scheme.

Pittsburg, Jan. 27.-The trading stamp
scheme struck Pittsburg last month
and a number of merchants signed
contracts with the Cooperative Premi-
UNI association, allowing the associa-
ton per cent on their sales where
stamps were called for by customers.
Some of the merchants will soon have
to reduce the help in their stores in or
der to raise the money to pay the
per cent.
In many cases the per cent on the
sales amount to from $50 to $40 per
month.
The result is that many of the mer-
chants are up in arms and declare they
will make it warm for the association.

Lieut.. Carrnnxa's Challenxe..

Lieut.. Ramon do Carranza Of the Spanish
royal navy, until recently naval attache
of the Spanish legation at Washington, has
challenged Gen. Fitzhugh Lee and Capt.
Sigsbee of the Maine to fight duels. The
challenges were issued on the night that
the Spanish minister with drew from Wash.
fngton. Lieut.. de Carranza had determined
upon this course Of action Immediately af-
ter Gen. Lee and Capt sigsbee stated be-
fore congressional committees that in their
belief Spanish naval officers were RESPONSE
BILE for the blowing up of the Maine.
This, Lieut.. de Carranza asserts in his
challenge, is direct reflection upon the
honor Of the naval officers who had charge
of the defenses Oh Havana.
Amy man who makesIsuch a charge on
belief and not on proof" the challenge pro
ceeds us himself CAPABLE of committing
the crime"
Lieut. de Carranza refers to reports that
Gen. Lee will return to Cuba as a major
general, and asks that before he goes he
will give the lieutenant the privilege Of
fighting him. .tv
The challenge to Capt. sigsbes is SUBJ
stantially the same as that TO Gen. Lee, but
is slightly briefer. owing to the omission of
the phrase relating to Gen. Lees return to
Cuba a major general.
Since the challenges were sent, no word
has reached here as to the purposes of
Gen. Lee or Capt. Sigsbee. The dispatch
frc m Toronto indicates that no acceptances
or declinations have reached there.
