MAKING HARNESS REINs

Manufactured From the Stoutsst Lssthsr
"A Word About Hsndholds.
The reins Of a set Of single harness
are each about thirteen feet In length:
those Of double harness about fifteen
feet For business, harness reins arc
made OF leather, tanned black; the
reins Of carriage harness are made Of
russet-colored leather.
Reins require to be very stout, and
they are almost always made OF steer
hide. the leather OF which traces are
made, these. however. being of more
than one thickness. Occasionally lines
for light or for cheap harness are
made OF cowhide. but not often: as
a rule the best of leather Is used for
the reins, even in cheap harness. There
can be obtained from the hides OF
leather suitable for reins strips from
seven to nine feet in length. so that
reins are always OF necessity made in
two pieces.
The loops, or handholds. often seen
on the reins Of track or road horses
stitched together and then sometimes
stitched to the reins. but more often
secured to them IN such manner that
they can be shifted on the reins to
suit the convenience Of the driver. The
three-loop hold. which is called the
Boston handhold, is commonly used
--track driving: the single loop is the
one used by most drivers on the road.
There are patent handholds made Of
metal. The wooden buttons sometimes
seen on reins, used as handholds, are
made in pairs, one button of each pair
having 4 stem with thread cut on
il which goes through the rein and is
screwed into the other button Of the
pair on the opposite side.

VERY STRAINED RELATIONS.
Alger and Gage at Daggers' Points ana
It Can't Last Long.

WASHINGTON. May 19-Special-
There are some well defined reports OF d.
visions in the Cabinet. and from them
arises the repeated and a. often denied
story that Secretary of War Alger VIII
shortly resign. IL is positively stated thlt
the relations between Sccretarys cage
and Alger have become 50 strained that
their Intercourse IS limited solely TO th"I
made necessary by their Official reIauo"'
According 10 Secretary Ayers irleuu7'
this trouble grew out Of their opposing at
titudes regarding war with Spain over
the Cuban question. Secretary Gage being
strongly against Il. while General AlSer
held from the first that It must and ought
to come. Their disputes were at hrst
friendly. but after war was actually de-
clared. Secretary Gage began TO twit the
Secretary of War about the unprepared-
ness cot the latters department for the
conflict. From mere playful badinage so
the story goes. this grew into discussions
I'm which both gentlemen pounded the
Cabinet table with their fists until the
President had TO gently interfere.
This feeling has grown until, according
TO General Ayers friends, the friends OF
Secretary Gage are responsible for the
spreading OF the stories that the War De-
partment is i'm bad shape and the Score

rotary Alger is embarrassed in obtain
ing funds from the Treasury
Many other rumors OF the same general
tendency are ah0at, and some assert that
matters may reach "a point where one or
the other uf these gentlemen must leave
the Cabinet. 10 d. hardly likely. how
ever. that a variance between these Off
ciais will be allowed TO reach point
where IL would disrupt the Cabinet at a
time Ike this, but there seems no doubt
that they are az serious loggerheads.
