Paris, December 2.-To-day's session
of the peace commission was repeti-

When, after two hours of discussion,
taking wide range, the Spaniards
were pressed for definite statements,
they pleaded that they had not re-
ceived instructions from Madrid.
Thereupon the Americans declared, in
diplomatic phraseol0gy, that it wa
useless to waste time in debate with

ment was taken till tomorrow, it is
probable there will be further post
ponement till Monday.

TIN PLATE TRUST.
A Meeting Of Representatives of All
Factories Held in PlttSburg Yes
terday.

Pittsburg, Pa, December 2.-Repre-
sentatives of all the tin plate manu-
featuring concerns in America met at
the Lincoln Hotel, this city, to-day,
for the purpose of arranging prelim-
mary details of the combination that
is to unite all the tin plate interests
on this side of the Atlantic.
The combine will be formed on lines
entirely different from any yet effected
in the United States.
The new company will have CAPT
tai of $5O,OOO,0OO, divided into $40, 000,-
600 preferred stock and $30,000,000 COM
mon stock. The greater part of this
will be represented by the value Of
the plants which are to be taken into
the combine, but there will be left
enough stock over and above the value
of the plants to provide working CAPT
tai of S., 900, and this latter will be
furnished in cash by men not inter
ested in the tin plate business.
The work of appraisement will COM
mence next Monday, when twenty of
the plants will shut down (ten of them
being located in the West and ten in
the East. On the following Monday
twenty other plants will be shut down
and an invoice of their value taken in
the same manner.
When the appraisements have been
completed a general meeting of stock
holders will be held to elect directors
and fix upon a city for the location
of the general Offices of the company
At present Pittsburg seems to be in
the lead for this honor.

SIR EDWIN GREY

Speaks of the Close Understanding Be
tween Great Britain and America
London, December 2.-Sir Edwin
Grey, Liberal member of parliament
for ck-on-Tweed, who was under
secretary of state for foreign affairs in
Lord Roseberys cabinet, spoke to-
night on foreign affairs at Blackburn,
. in Lancashire.
on the relations between the United
States and Great Britain accomplished
by the free press of a free people on
each side of the Atlantic, expressing
the generous impulses of each nation"
he said:
81 would rather have the free play
of this national sentiment, which is
enriching the public life of both coun-
tries, than a written alliance. We
have finally come to realize a double
patriotism, the patriotism of race and
the patriotism of country. There Is q
common bond between the two peoples
and we should look in times of peace
to see the sentiment growing and In
times of disturbance to find in it some
thing upon which We could lean for
mutual support"
Sir Edward Grey condemned the cat
tempts of some conservative speakers
to make party capital out of this I'M
derstanding," and expressed a hope
that both Germany and the United
States may incline more and more
to our policy of the open door which
will lead to a great improvement in
trade throughout the world

A wreck at sea is not the only place
where a life line is of importance
There is a life line for the sick, as we'll as
for the drowning man. 1t is Or. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. 1t is not a
cure-all, but it is scientific medicine that
goes to the fountain head of a number of
serious and fatal diseases. When man
gets seriously sick, he can generally be
cured by the right course of treatment
The treatment that cures many obstinate
chronic diseases consists of pure air, good
food, rational exercise, and the use of a
remedy that will strengthen the weak
stomach correct the impaired digestion,
invigorate the liver and promote the as
sifnllation of the live giving elements OF
the food. The Golden Medical Discov-
cry accomplishes all these thirgs.
"A young man lay pale and moticrless upon
(what neighbors called) his dying bed. Disease

not care to die he said were il not for leaving

three bottles of medicine but he had no faith in

Slowly but surely he got better. To-day that
man is strong AID healthy and he owes his life

Very few of our readers are prob
ably aware of the origin of the word
'dead-head," which is SO frequently
used in connection with theatrical rep
reservations. It is stated to be as fol-
lows: Many years ago, at the time
of turnpikes, the principal avenue of
a town passed close to the entrance OF
a road leading to the cemetery. AS
this cemetery had been laid out some
time previous to the construction of
the road it was arranged that all fun
eral professions should be allowed TO
pass along the latter free of toll. One
day, as a well-known physician, WHO
was driving along this road, stopped
to pay his toll, he observed to the
keeper, considering the benevolent
character of our profession, ! think
you ought to let us pass free of
charge" No, no, DOCTOR" said the
gate-keeper. I'VE can't afford that,
you send too many deadheads through
as it is" The story travelled around
the country, and the word ~"deadhead"
was eventually applied to those VINO
