Mexican lace Industry.

The methods Of manufacture IN inc
popular Mexican drawn lace work are
drctcly opposed TO those oi most Lace
makers. Instead OF weaving the gossa-
mer fabric from single threads stitches
are picked out of a solid piece Of the
finest linen cloth. leaving the remainder
i'm some artistic design. This process j.
an extremely trying one, but the results
are exquisite.
japanese linen IS the fabric generally
employed in this character OF work. u
is as fine as silk and adapted 10 the most
delicate patterns. Some OF the designs
are so elaborate and perfectly executor
as 10 be scarcely distinguished from the
real Battenberg make.
All sorts Of conventional patterns are
reproduced, from the rarest and most
costly specimens, although work OF THIS
high standard IS not so general IN ae-
mand as the art embroidcries, including
doilies, centers. tray cloths and table
covers.

ALL IRON PLANTS RUSHED,
The Activity in Steel Products is with
ont Parallel.

out Parallel.
BALTIMORE, MD, Oct. 6.-Sir. Edgar
g. FELTON,. president of the Pennsylvania
Steel Company who is in baltimore with
a marty of officials and directors OF the
company for the purpose Of inspecting
the works Of the Maryland Steel Company
al Sparrow's Point, says the activity IN
the iron and steel trade Is without paral-
lei.
Mr. FELTON, said: This has been decided
~ the best year in the history OF the iron
and steel trade. and in my opinion pre-
vaillng conditions Will continue indefinite
IS. There are 1000 men employed ar the
works at Harrisburg, Pa, and $3.50 at
Sparrows Point. Every department OF
both plants is working to its full capacity
and some of them are running day and
night. so great is the rush Of orders. our
product Is sold far ahead and we have
booked orders for delivery in the middle OF
next year. We have enough work on
hand to keep us busy day and night for
the next six months, even If We do not
book a single new order.
Those who imagine that the present ac-
tivity will subside by the end Of the year
do not understand the situation. In my
opinion the plants OF America Will have all
they can do for the next two years with
out including the foreign trade, which IS
increasing at a gratifying rate. We are
now shipping iron and steel products to all
parts of the world We are sending them
even TO Great Britain and are more than
holding our own in competition with iron
and steel manufacturers in that country.
1.-THE United States are now the great
est producers of pig iron in the world, and
we are steadily adding to our reputation.
both as 10 quality and price. Foreign
manufacturers recognize that we are grad
ually crowdlng them out OF their home
market and have abandoned competing
with US I'm this country
THE position Of the trade was never -
strong as at present. Prices are higher
than ever before. being 100 per cent. in ex-
cess OF those Of year ago. This. how
ever, j. due To the great increase IN ;be
price OF pig iron. for which manufa stur-
ers Of iron and steel products are not to
blame. Pig iron is up because IL is
scarce and in better demand than ever
before. Prosperity Is not confined To the
iron and steel industry. Every branch of
trade throughout the country is active
Labor Is more extensively employed than
ever before and better wages are paid
than at any time during the past ten
years"

MONSTER COMBINE OF
WHISKY DlSTILLERlES
Includes All Kentucky Concerns Pro-
ducing the Bourbon
Article

LOUISVILLE, KY, Jan. H.-All bour-
bon whisky distilleries in this State have
been at last brought under the control OF
one central organization. The deal was
closed to-day in New York after months
of negotiation. The new combine or trust
is capitalized at S32, 900 ,000 of which s12-
100000 is preferred and 500, 900 900 common
stock. The treasury will reserve 800 900
each of preferred and common stock and
cash to the amount of 81 900, 900 to meet
immediate demands. The combination in
cludes sixty distilleries in various portions
of the State, with all outstanding bonds,
and acquires between 1900, 900 and 10000 900
gallons of whisky now in bond.
All Clncinnat hrms owning distilleries
in Kentucky have signified Willingness to
enter the combination. These include

The Melwood and Runnymede distil-
leries, two of the largest, were the last
establishments to be taken into the COM
bine. The James Z. Pepper distillery at
Lexington, KY, is not yet in, but the
promoters are confident it will come into
the fold.
The first move of the trust will be to do
away with the present expensive methods
of disposing of the output and to that end
will form a central distributing agency

It must be conceded that bounties are

In conclusion the report says:
This bill is the offspring of mere bounty

peoples tax money. The bill is wholly
