JOE LOVES CAREER.
Remarkable Record of the Man Re-
ceatly Killed at Denver Coll
Had Seven Wives.

Joe Lowe, who was recently killed at
Denver, Col. possessed one of the most
remarkable records in the west. He
came from Missouri after the civil war
with record Of having killed four men
in Texas. lie went to Deadwood during
the Black Hills excitement and earned
notoriety as man to be feared through
running down every man concerned in
the lyuching of his brother. Only
three escaped by natural deaths. He
ran n dance hall in Wichita and Els
worth, Kan. when those places were
frontier towns. and was feared by the
tough elements that kept with the
progress OF railroads in their con-
struction. He had seven wives. &C.
cording to the story Of his Divorce,
and was reputed to be kind husband.
His last fatal ARRAY in Denver was dur
ing the summer of 1897. when regular
pitched battle occurred at his place, re-
sulting in one death and one fatally
wounded. He was never called down
save once. when Jim Moon. another
tough character of the border. hearing
that Lowe was after him. sought him
out and told him that If he ever ap-
7roached his advance would be fatal.
This established an entente cordiale
between the pair, and they remained
the best OF friends for life.

1t Has Come to Be an Impor tant
Subject in France.

Tonnage Entered at Marsedlies
Compared with Other
Cities.

Consul Skinner, Mt MarSeilles, sends
to the state department an abstract of
the annual report of the Marseilles
chamber of commerce to the minister
of commerce on the state of French
merchant marines. ltappears from this
report that the subject of the merchant
marine is being considered i'm France
with quite as much interest as is the
same subject in the United States. The
chamber reports ~ gun in the tonnage
at Murseilles of 163,943 tons for 1897,
but states that this is far from reassur-
ing. Comparison is made with the sta
tistics OF Genoa, Antwerp and Rotter-
dam, whence the following gains of
1897 over 1896 are reported: Genoa.
$4,000 tons; Antwerp. 646.OOO; Rotter-
dam, $4,000.
Consul Thackaray writes from Havre
on the same subject, giving the report
of the parliamentary committee APP
pointed by the French chamber of dep
uties TO investigate the problem of up
building the French merchant marine
This report says in part that the COM
mittee recognizes the state of mer-
chant marine as critical, and especially
in regard to its ability to successfully
compete with that of other nations"
Further. the report says: 'Its rela-
tive inferiority, already demonstrated.
becomes more and more apparent each
day. and with each advancing stride
made by the steamship lines of other
countries.
This state of affairs. if prolonged,
would lead to the most Gisast rous So
cial, political and military results; and
il is but natural that the government
should give its attention to the best
methods of ameliorating such serious
condition of affairs. the remedy of
which. in the very nature Of things eau
not emanate from private sources"
The committee after considering va
rious plans finally decided on u revision
of the bounty laws. |, is very in
volved schedule Of bounties given in
francs and centimes with their frac-
tional English equivalents. The first
article provided for IL shipping bounty
AS a compensation for the charges inn
posed upon merchant vessels in train
ing seamen who have been drafted into
the national army. The bounty is COM
puted in centimes per ton for various
classes of vessels, ranging from 1000
tons to 1000 tons and above. This
bounty is for steamships. That on sail
ing vessels is half the amount in every
case.
Article two provides bounty ITO
develop the maritime industries of
France as compensation for the
charges imposed upon the merchant
navy. and for the excessive cost of YES
sells built i'm France" This bounty is
calculated by the 1000 miles and by the
gross tons. distinction being made in
favor of steam over sailing vessels. as
in the previous bounty referredto.

NAVAL cANTEENs FORBIDDEN,

The canteen aboard ship is a thing of
the past. 1t never obtained a strong
hold in the service. Of late the only ves-
sells in the navy permitting the sale of
even beer aboard being the New York

1t cannot be gathered that the opera
ton Of the canteen aboard these ships
has been the subject of any i'll report,
but even there the sales of beer have
been ordered stopped in the following
order, dated February 3. but just pub
lished:
after mature deliberation the de-
partment has decided that it is for the
best interest of the service that the
sale or issue to enlisted men of malt or
other alcoholic liquors on board ships
of the navy or within the limits of naval
stations be prohibited.
Therefore, after the receipt of this
order. commanding officers and COM
mandants are forbidden to allow any
malt or other alcoholic liquor to be
sold to, or issued to. enlisted men, eth
er on board ship or within the limits of
navy yards, naval stations or marine
barracks. except in the medical depart
ment."

SILK FROM GELATIN.
Our Consul Tells How It Is Arti.
ficially Produced.
Process Is the Invention of Prof.
Humnaet, of Leeds, England
Cheaper Than the Genu-
Inc Article.

very curions report comes to the
state Experimentation Consul Franken-
thai at Berne, Switzerland, on the man.
ufacture of artificial silk from gelatin.
The consul says that his information is
from Prof. Hummet, of Yorkshire col
lege, in Leeds, England, who is the in
ventor of the process. and who has sub
mitted specimens of his product to
Swiss silk manufacturers.
The gelatin to be turned into silk is
heated ut certain temperature, which
keeps it continually in liquid form. The
reservoir containing this liquid has
cover with innumerable small openings,
through which the gelatin oozes in very
fine streams These tiny threads are
discharged on an endless strip of linen
cloth running over pulleys. When this
strip has travelled far enough to dry the
gelatin the threads are picked up auto
lnatically and wound upon spools.
The whole apparatus is said to re-
quire very little attention. single
workman overseeing enough machines
to produce 100000 yards Of thread per
day--equal to the production. of $4,000
cocoons. To make the. gelatin threads
proof against being dissolved in warm
water or any other solution they are
lightly wound on drums and subjected
to fumes i'll a close room for several
hours. Coloring matter added in very
small proportions to the liquid gelatin
produces any shade of thread desired.
This artificial silk is said to be extreme
ly brilliant and very uniform in thick
ness.
The greatest drawback to it's useful
ness is its low tensile strength. But
this. it is said. can be overcome by mix
ing the gelatin fiber with real silk, fine
linen or cotton. The statement is made
that this silk can be produced at $1.l5
per pound. Collodion, silk now costs
about $3.50 per pound, while natural
silk is worth $6.25.

SALVATION ARMY FARMS
COmmnnder Booth-Tucker Tells of
the Good Work Done-Col.
Onies In Three staten,

Commander BoothLTucker, of the
Salvation Army, reports that the past
year on the colony farms of the army
has been prosperous one, and that the
results thus far of the project of MAX
Ing poor people self-supporting by
transplanting them to the country have
been all that was hoped for. The bene-
ficiaries of the plan take kindly to it,
and the work is to be extended. To
date the army has colony farms in Ohio,
Colorado and California, covering 1,42s
acres, and valued now at Sill. OO0 They
are tenanted by 200 colonists. and it is
hoped to increase this number to 500
during this year. The largest and most,
ambitious of the colonies is located at
Fort Amity. Col. There settlers from
the Stun districts of eastern cities have
$40 acres of rich land which they are
endeavoring to turn into l0-;cre farms.
Chicago and New York furnished the
emigrants. a number of whom had had
experience in some sort of farming.
while number were carpenters and
mechanics. The ground was divided
into 10-acre lots, of which each alter
nate lot was cultivated. but left unoc-
cupied. with a view to the extension Of
each holding should 10 acres be insult
ficient, or a relative OF q colonist de-
sired to settle on the next farm. The
plan adopted to make. the colony self
supporting differs from that Of most
settlements, in that it involves less of
the cooperative plan. Each colonist il
master of his own domain Of 10 acres,
for which he pays weekly rental Of
from 81 to So for 10 years. when he will
own the land and house. Truck farm
ing will be the main support Of the
colony. The land. however, is sur
rounded by thousands of acres of open
prairie. which, for time at least, will
furnish free pasturage for stock.

Her Mansion,

Mrs. Henry Sloane has arranged to
sell her house in East Seventy-second

abroad for time, returning to occupy
smaller residence or apartments.
Handsome entertainments have been
held in the Seventy-second street house.
but Mrs. Sloane feels unable to keep
up this ablishment with its respon-
sibilities.
Mr.. Sloane, SO far as is known, did
not make any settlement upon Mrs.
Sloane other than the Seventy second
street house and its contents. The
house and the ground it stands upon are
worth about $3.50. 900, according to real
estate men. The furnishings, etc.,
cost more than 100000.
Mrs. Sloane has jewels popularity val
ued al more than 100000, which were
given to her by Mr.. Sloane during the
years of their married life.
From her father Daniel Robbins, Mrs.
Sloane inherited modest fortune. but
the income would be unequal to the de-
mands of costly establishment like

glee club in the wings was living up
to its name. 1t didn't feel the respon-
sibility, and there were shorts and
whoops all over the place. Stub called
for silence. Then he began to pick at
