In response to invitations from
prominent physicians and scientists in
Paris and Berlin, DR.. B. F. Roberts,
formerly Of Greene City, Mo-, has gone
to Europe to explain his discoveries IN
animal therapy and to demonstrate the
value of the goats lymph treatment.
There is no secret or patent or copy
right on the lymph. The formula has
been given to the medical profession,
and DR.. Roberts main work now is the
Instruction of physicians in it's use.
This is the remedy which effected the
sensational cure in the case of Irwin

A truck load of boxes containing
thousands of pairs of thick -soled,
whtte-edged shoes, such as are worn by
Cinnamon, were recently stacked in
the storeroom of a wholesale dealer in
oriental goods in New York. "Are
these shoes made in this country?" in
quired the writer, as he looked at a
part Of the stock displayed to view in
an open box. NO." replied the mer-
chant, "they all come from Canton,
where they are made by hand. Be-
tween 100000 and 100000 pairs of such
shoes are annually imported by some
half-dozen wholesale houses. mostly in
New York. From this city the shoes
are distributed to hundreds of retailers
of oriental goods throughout the south,
east and west, where they are sold to
all classes of Cinnamon at from 81 to
50 per pair. according to the quality
and finish. The methods employed in
the manufacture of Chinese shoes are
ingenious and interesting. The bottom
soles are made from ten to fifteen lay
ers of very thin leather placed one
upon another, making built-up sole.
This sole is stitched through and
through in many places on regular
lines, giving the bottom of the sole a
sort of quilted effect. This work is
neatly and trinity done even on the
cheapest shoes, and when the sewing is
completed a white material resembling
plaster is applied to the edges of the
sole. When the white edge of the
shoe, which is extremely hard, be-
comes soiled it can be cleaned and
whitened again by rubbing it with a
damp cloth. The top or upper Of the
Chinese shoe is usually of cloth, silk
or satin, and the lining is always of the
same material. Velvet is, however,
often used on the top, cut in patterns
that are laid over the body of the shoe,
which may be of silk or satin in some
bright color, while the velvet may be
of black, producing a picturesque and
striking appearance. Such shoes, when
embroidered, are only worn by persons
of rank, and cost from IS to $25."-

BATES THE CAUCUS NOMINEE.
Local Plum Comes But
Once in Ten Years
and Is Desirable.

Clinton, Oct. Republicans of this
town are much interested in the situa-
ton in Sterling where there is bitter
ness. E. P. Bartlett, who was in line
for the nomination, was defeated in
caucus, by F. H. Bates. The Bates
delegates were elected.
Tremendous pressure is being put
upon Mr.. Bartlett by his friends to run
independently.
A representative of The Spy talked
with Mr.. Bartlett tonight. He said
he did not know whether he should run
independently or not.
From a friend of Mr.. Bartlett who
supported him in the caucus, the rep
.resentative of The Spy learned that a
nomination paper has already been pre-
pared, and that so names have been
signed to 1t with the prospect that more
will be.
The intense sympathy displayed for
Mr.. Bartlett by so many Sterling voters
is due to the fact that he has never
been to the legislature, while Mr.. Bates
was sent once before.
The chance comes but once in 10
years, and Mr. Bartlett was tacitly I'M
derstood to be in line for it. There is
much feeling.
Mr.. Bartlett's sphere of influence will
extend beyond Sterling. He is known
in West Boylston, and exceedingly well
known in Clinton. Running as an in
dependent, he would probably get many
votes from the side of the republican
party who we're turned down in the
overthrow at the last caucus.
Mr.. Bartlett's friends make the ac-
cusation that Mr.. Bates brought demo-
Gratis to the caucus and voted them.
The statement has been made that
there are no democrats left now to put
on boards, where the law requires
democratic representation.

were the centre of attraction They
represented a months work in the two
mines. The Richardson contribution
weighed 341 ounces, and was worth
$685. while that from Hurricane Point
tipped the scales at 1876 ounces and has
value of $265O.
