The Florence daily tribune. (Florence, Colo.) 1898-1903, 1899-08-15

The life of the champagne man
ufacturer is made miserable by
breakage in the cellars and the
leakage of the gas from the bottles.
A French scientist has devised
plan for obviating the latter DIFF
ticulty which is simple and if not
too expensive it might be put into
practical use with advantage. He
covers the cork and the neck of the
bottle with layer of copper, de-
posted electrically. The bottle is
coated with black lead or zinc pow
der and then placed in a bath and
plated. After it has been copper
ed there will be no difficulty in
plating on a copper base with
gold or silver. Probably cham
payne hotties which could be the
only bottles which could be treated
in this way owing to the expense,
but if it could be cheapened, it
would undoubtedly have many
other uses.

That Pueblo was great suffer
er by Sunday nights storm is now
a settled fact. The fruit and grain
crops alone suffer to the amount of
from ten to fifteen thousand dol
lars, while the cantaloupe crop,
valued at ten thousand dollars, is
a total loss. The acreage planted
to tomatoes was large and the vines
were loaded with fruit, and this,
too, is destroyed. To these losses
must be added that of property
by the hail and water.

THE NEW YEARS BELL.

By George Cooper.
Ny throne is yonder belfry;
Hark, how wake the world;
Oh, joyful be the message
That broadcast now is hurled
A word of hope and triumph,
Again wait to you.
Bringing out the Old Year.
Ringing in the New
I've marked the gains and losses,
The stiyings of the hour;
Rank weeds I've seen upgrowing,
Where should have bloomed the flower.
The nobler path ana purpose,
Ibid ye all pursue,
Ringing out the Old Year,
Ringing in the New !

To all kindly thought
Beneath Times opening portals,
No good deed be unwrought
How soon my voice is silent,
Its moments, now. how few
Ringing cut the Old Year,
Ringing in the New

WANTED LOWER RATES.
Mt. Hinton Made an Address to Bir-
minghnm business Men.


Traffic Manager e. H. Hinton of the
Central Railroad has returned from Bir-
mingham, where he attended a joint CON
ference of The traffic managers of Alabama
rail lines and the Transportation Commit
tee of the Commercial Club of that city
The business men of Birmingham feel that
their freight rates in Alabama are not
as low as they should be. claiming that
those Of Georgia and other states are
lower They had a schedule of complaints
and showed them In several exhibits.
Mr.. Hinton was among the officials who
gave the business men an explanation of
the position of the railroads and pointed
out some discrepancies in the arguments
that were advanced 10 show why the roads
should reduce Alabama rates Among
others who spoke were MIR. j. NJ. CUP,
traffic manager of The Southern Railway,
and Mr.. A. +. Whiting of the Western Of
Alabama.
1t was shown by Mr.. Hinton that the
Central whose gross earnings are $500
a mile, Is in no condition to reduce rates.
The Central has an interest in Birming
hams welfare, he said, as was shown by
the rates given on coal and iron, but con
ditions govern rates and because certain
rates are at one figure in Tennessee It
does not follow that they should be at
like figure IN Alabama. The committee
had made the mistake too, of taking the
standard rates in Georgia as the basis
of some of their comparisons, whereas the
Central and many other roads are per
mitted to charge considerably above the
standard for freights.

ADJUTANT GENERALS OFFICE.
RumOr of Change in the Assistant
EmphaticaIIy Denied.


Atlanta, Dec. IA rumor was afloat
to-day that glere might be changes in
the adjutant generals office and that Col
Byrd might retire from his present posi-
ton as acting adjutant general on Jan. /
Col Byrd says there is not a word of
truth in it.
The rumor grew out of the charges made
by Editor Douglass Glessner in the Griffin
News and Sun that Col Byrd, in reorgan-
izing the troops of the state, transferred
the Griffin Rifles from the Fifth Regiment
to prevent Capt. Burr of Griffin from be-
ing elected major over Capt. George of
Rome
1t has been alleged in the Griffin paper
that the election of Burr and the defeat
OF George We're assured until the Rifles
were transferred to another regiment.
The transfer of the Griffin company, now
ever, is claimed by friends of Col. Byrd
to be a matter of expedlency and to be
utterly devoid of politics.
The Fifth Regiment will have in addi-
ton to the Atlanta companies, two com
panies from Rome one from Gainesville.
one from Newman and one from La
Grange. 1t is said to be much better for
the Griffin company to belong to the Sec
ond' Regiment, with headquarters at Ma
con. Two majors have been elected for
the Fifth in the city of Atlanta. One adj
ditional major will be elected from the
out-of-town companies.
Gov. Gambler, when asked to-day II
there was to be change in the position
OF assistant adjutant general, said he had
not heard of it, if there was. The an
pointment is in the hand of the Governor.

Eaton, in his statement said that If any
