KRAG-JOKGENSEN BULLETS.

From the Minneapolis Tribune.
 he Krag-Jorgensen rifles with which Un- cle Sam's regulars are armed are weapons of great interest to the old hunters and sportsmen who have gathered at Walker from all sections. The soldiers pass car tridges among the curious. who retain them as souvenirs. Said one of the blue-coated men who had returned from Sugar Point, having taken part in the scrap:
 'The Indians ran against something in our bullets that surprised them. The steel bullet of the Krag-Jorgensen is search ing thing, and if there is an Indian conceal ed in the grass in line with it for three miles it will find him. When we caught a couple of bucks who, we could see, were behind pine trees from the smoke of their rifles, the others soon learned to fall back. The steel bullet will go through forty inches of pine and will kill any Indian who may have thought he was safe. They can't fight the way they used to-"

tration is trying to overcome its initial blunder This blunder is now generally rec ognized. It consisted in transferring set- tlement on the spot to prolonged settle ment in Paris. It handed over to diplomacy what belonged to war. Germany did not daily with a protocol when she had France at her feet. nor did Japan permit China to dicker foryterms in that manner. Wars are best settled on the spot. But the adminis- tration decided to settle the Spanish war in Paris, and Spain's diplomats are fur nishing the American commissioners a long and varied programme.
 Until elecion day is passed the country will doubtless be freely supplied with war like rumors; but the chances are that Spain will soon afterwards accept all the terms that the administration has the backbone to demand. There is no war left in poor old Spain. She is without a fighting fleet. without credit, without possession of her former colonies, and she will simply be compelled to accept whatever the United States demands.

"MERoERIZING" COTTON YARN.
Treated by That Process Thread and Yarn
 Resemble Silk.
From the Springfield Republican.

From the Springfield Republican.
 During the past year or two number of yarn and thred mills have entered upon the manufacture of "mercerized" thread and yarn. This process is the treating of cotton material with certain acids in such a way that it gains a silky lustre and also strength, and when cotton so treated is woven it resembles quite closely silk goods The Hadley mills of Holyoke a few months ago began the manufacture of this class of goods in rather interesting way.
 The management had become interested in the process and the trade and other jour- nals were watching for items concerning it. Talks were had with dealers in chemicals used in the process and a general idea of how the cotton was treated was obtained The company's boss dyer knew nothing of the process, but experiments were made on a half pound of cotton-yarn at first This came out fairly well, but was not satisfac- tory. The recipe was changed a trife and the next lot came out fully as good as any tha men had seen.
 Since then the mill has taken up the manufacture of "mercerized" thread for the trade with good results, and as soon as the thread combine goes through, which is likely to take place almost any day the company will undoubtedly increase their capacity for this particular product by building small addition. The Merrick thread cOmpdny nave aSO eXpef11nented successfully with the process and are turn ing out the 'mercerized' thread.
 he process is an old one, being invented by a man named Mercer about forty years ago. For some reason his process never seemed to work well, and it was not until within few years that it has been in use It was first worked successfully in Ger many, where the process was patented; so far as known it is not patented in this country, probably on account of the age of the process. The thread made from it passes sometimes as silk under foreign names, it is said. It is used extensively in underwear and facing. At first it was only made into thread and yarn, but of late 1t has been woven successfully.
 The J. R. Montgomery company at Wind sor Locks was the first in in this section to take up the process, and 1t appears that each one who is working the process is chary of divulging the same. so that the mills that are using it have for the most part worked out the formula. It is under stood that the Windsor Locks people ob- tained their formula from Germany. The thread mills in other places, notably those at Fall River, are doing more or less with 1t.

Education and Crime.

A few facts gathered, not from hearsay, but from the census of 1890, will explain a few things in this state that are seem 1ngly inexplicable. For example, in the United States, as 6 whole, the percentage b. prison population to the entire popula- ton over ten years of age is .17S; the per- centage in Alabama is .135. The percentage in Alabama is only exceeded in the Rocky Mountain and Pacific Slope states. Now, why is this? Perhaps an accurate and ex- haustive explanation of this condition of affairs in this state may not be possible, but some facts go along with this per rentage of crime that deserve consideration.
 Mr J. B. Cunningham, principal of the Birmingham High school, has gone over the figures of general and prison popula- tion, as they are stated in the census of 1890, and he finds that the percentages show that those who can neither read nor write have more than two and one-half chances to become criminals to one chance of those who can both read and write; that those who read only have two chances to one to become criminals over those who can both read and write; and that, grouping those who can neither read nor write and those who can read only under the head "illiterates," these have five chances to the literates one of entering prison.
 Alabama had at recent date 251S prls- oners, of whom 2,O96 were negroes The illiteracy among the negroes is a trife over G9 per cent, while the illiteracy among the whites is IS per cent.
 Pursue this subject we may, we find that Tliteracy and crime go hand in hand, . and that the state which reduces through good township schools it's illiteracy reduces at the same time its percentage of prison- CTS, and therefore its costs of courts, and of prisons, and of government generally speaking.

The Peace Conference,

The trouble that Spain is able to make without expense to herself in Paris is near ing crisis-at least it has that appear ance now, and the present appearance will doubtless be sternly maintained until elec- tion day. The presidents stumping tour in the west accompanied as he is by four cabinet officers, plainly shows that the re- publicans fear a loss of the house and a general defeat throughout the country, and that they will not hesitate to utilize any, thing and everything under their control in their efforts to turn the tide that has set strongly against them. The presidents speeches have violated all presidential pre- cedents. They have really been appeals to the people to sustain the administration. In the main they consisted in qualifications of the war, with shrewd and cunning in- ference that the administration did it, and that those who are denouncing the adminis- traitor or any part of it are enemies of the country.
 The latest news from Paris indicates that the business of firing the public heart is to be worked from that end of the cable also The dyspeptic Day is represented in a war like attitude, defylng Spain and demanding immediate results. The fact is the adminis-

this generation has approached this ideal. surely that man is Lord Kitchener His campaign has been a triumph of reason, even more pre-eminently than triumph of arms.
 Lord Kitchener stood for the highest man has yet reached He had at his dis posal the best man has yet constructed. But then his problem commenced. He had to select the best arms. He had to provide for the immense difficulties of transporta- ton. The men of his race can build and equip railways and steamers. He had to adapt them to his service Then he had to take men and train them until they became a perfect instrument. This represented months, and even years, of daily drill, with one object in view. Then he had to gather information as to the strength of the ene- my and their armament, and choose and dispose his force so as to be able to meet and to crush them, no matter what tactics they might adopt. He could not have done this except by the aid of the men who worked win him. But granted these men and supplies, it remained to coordinate and direct them to a particular end. He has done so. It is an inspiring object lssESH Tn accurate and comprehensive intenectuaiity. He has suggested a new ideal-the man of certainties.

STRAY THOUGHTS
 OF STATE EDITORS
Scarsit,!5f Soamel

Mobile Item: There are at present sev- eral vessels detained at Mobile and in the lower bay on account of not having com plete crews, and one sailing ship has no crew at all. Seafaring men of all classes are at present at a premium in this port and good prices have been offered to obtain men, but to no avail. Joseph Schiaft1no, sailor boarding house master, has gone to Pensacola to secure men to fill out several crews Boarding House Master Jake Smith was seen yesterday afternoon, and he stated if a vessel wanted two men to- day it would be impossible for them to be had, as there is not competent seafarlng man to be secured at any time price in the city Edward Smith, son of Mr. Jake Smith, left last night for Pensacola to se- cure twenty men for his father. The schooner R. Muscat & Sons cleared yes . terday afternoon at 1 o'clock for Havana, Cuba, and will be detained until today to secure another man to fill out the crew. The British bark Belvidere is also detained here for the lack of several men that are badly needed. Her captain paid Boarding Master Olsen, of Pensacola, $60 for obj t2n- ing two seamen. This is an indicatioR of the requirements of the port, and 1t is rap- idly advancing. No such condition has ex- isted since the days when Mobile used to export three-quarters of a million bales of cotton.

MATRIMONIAL.

From the Atchison Globe.
 After a man is left a widower you can hear as many things about him as about Cuba.
 A perfectly bred minister puts the mar rage fee given him into his pocket with out looking at it to see ho wmuch it is.
 We begin to understand why so many women wanted to be nurses during the war; Every day the telegraph relates some TO- mantle instances of an army hero marrying his nurse.
 It is the proud boast of an Atchison wo- man tha she has had three husbands and never yet had to resort to a woman's mag azine to learn how to keep a husbands S love-
 It Is never safe to put reliance in any woman who refers to her marriage as the result of "Sriish whim."
 When the neighbors are not invited to a wedding they start the story that the bride was ashamed to have her old friends see her bargain or that he is grass widower with children.

NEW yoRK,s FASHIONABLE BANR

From a New York Dispatch.
 Some very fashionable and rich directors have been added to the management of the Plaza bank among them Colonel John Jacob Astor, Herman and Victor Oelrichs, Stuyvesant Fish, August Belmont and others. The wives and daughters and sis ters of very rich men and women, rich ill their own right are deposltors in the Plaza, which is across Fifth avenue from Cornelius Vanderbilts mansion. The insti- tuition has been nicknamed "The Pink Tea Bank" for there is a handsome reception room where the fashionable deposit ors gather to draw checks and talk polite nothings. A maid is always in attendance, a separate corps of clerks keeps the wo- mems accounts, and in the season a line of carriages surround the building. It is here that the young daughters of the mill lionaires are taught how to keep check book. Such patronage evidently pays, and the Plaza, by adding the new directors, is reaching out for more of it.

SPIN A SEA YARN, ROBSON

From the St. Louis RepuDllc
 It goes without saying that the reading public will await with peculiar eagerness the appearance of Lieutenant Richmond Pearson Hobson's promised novel.
 Lieutenant Hobson is a hero in real life. The novelists chief mission is the creation of heroes in fictional life. He has, here tofore, been so engrossd in this fascinating occupation as never to have found time, apparently to thing of such a picturesque proceeding as the making of hero of himself. The combination, therefore, of a hero-novelist is well calculated to win the public from the start and to insure a most promising reception for Lieutenant Hob- sons book.
 It is to be hoped that the plucky young hero of the Merrimac will weave for his readers a story of the sea and of naval service under Uncle Sams fine old flag. He should be able to do this better than any thing else because it is a field with which he is familiar and because he has served that flag so gloriously himself. If Hobson tells a good and stirring story, there will be no limits to it's success, nor to the continued lionizing of a sailor who first covers himself with glory in the service and then spins a yarn relating how some other brave fellow did the same.
 The reading public is now prepared to welcome Lieutenant Hobsons novel. It cannot come from the publishers too soon for that heros admirers. In fact, there might be duplicated to Hobson the famous signal wig -wagged by Dewey at the open ing of the sea-fight in Manila harbor: "You may begin, Captain Gridley, as soon as you're ready"
