PULP WARE.
How 1t Is Made-said to BE Gaining
in Favor.

How 1t Is Made-Said to BE Gaining
in Favor.
From the Boston. Journal of Commerce.
Pressed wood pulp ware is said 20 be
gaining favor as substitute for certain
grades of china, glass, earthenware, ana
even wood and metal. One firm in Thet-
ford England has produced and so.d
within the past few years over 2,500O0O
articles of this kind, including $4,000 water
carriers supplied to the British govern
ment. The raw material for the Thet-
ford factory comes from Norway and
Sweden. After being ground and wet
ted IT is stored in watts, whence it is forced
info tank and then taken out and mould
ad into forms have a rough outline resem-
blanoe 90 the finished article. These
shapes of loosely formed pulp are then
treated in the hydraulic presses. These
arnlv the first pressure. with the object
Of conpressing the pulp and hardening the
surface of the ware. From the presses
the goods are taken TO large drying shed
where any excess Of moisture is removed
bv the action of the atmosphere. The
sbapes when dried pass to the embossing
rooms. fitted with number of presses by
which the pulp is still further compressed
and the surface still more refined. The
amount Of pressure required varies from
Ave tons to evenly tons, according to the
size and weight of the article being made.
The next process is the cutting and trim
ming. this work being done by machines
which at a single stroke cut away all SUI
nerauous material The finishing of the
article then begins. They are placed in
ovens to be indurated or hardened and
much of the life of pulp ware depends up
on the thoroughness with which this is
done. Next in order come the enamellins
or surfacing processes, also carried out
IN the ovens the result being the hard,
washable and smoothly glazed skin un-
affected by acids. which forms so indis-
pensable a feature of pulp ware goods.
After being colored or decorated, the ware
is ready 90 be packed for shipment 10

THE VISIT TO PHILADELPHIA.

much Speculation ms to Whether the
Regular Republicans Did or Did Not
Confer with MIR. Addioks.
The fact that number of Regular
Republican members Of the Legis-
lature visited Philadelphia Tuesday
night has been taken as indicatir : a
possible conference between them as,
j. Edward Addicks. The Regulars
in the party were Senators Knox
and Shakespeare and Representatives
Burns, Kitchen, Robertson and Den
nison.
Charles ii. Kittinger, one of Mr..
Addicks' lieutenants, yesterday morning
pooh poohed the idea of any confer
ence between the men and Mr.. Ad
dicks. He said he knew that Addicks
was ut tho grand opera. Mr.. Kittinger
for himself said 81 went to Philadel-
phia on the 7 o'clock train to attend
the opera. / saw no members of the
Legislature on the train or in Phila-
delphia, and in reference to that and
other stories connected with the Walton
Hotel, l have not been in the Walton
Hotel for two years."
From another source it is indicated
that the legislators had something else
in view by their trip to Philadelphia,
outside OF attending theatre perform
ance. A Republican, in speaking on
the subject, expressed q belief that
they had had conference with Adj
dicks and that Addicks now know
there was no chance of his election as
Senator. tM
The speaker was reminded of the
senatorial contest of 1885, when, after
the deadlock had continued tor some
timo, Addicks expressed desire to see
Mr.. Higgins. An interview was finally
arranged, in the course Of which
Addioks is alleged to have told Hig
gins that he (Addicks) elected Higgins
| in 1883, and for him to have his men
turn in and elect Addicks in 1895, in
return for which Addicks would sur
port him at the next Senatorial cam
paign. Upon this proposition, Mr..
| Higgins is said to have used some
| emphatic language and left.
A prominent Regular Republican
said he understood the object of the
visit was to meet friend of Mr.. Adj
dicks, an appointment for such meet
ing having been made "The presump-
tion," he said, sis that they were tc
be prevailed upon to vote for Mr.. Ad.
dicks, but | can assure you that il such
a proposition was made TO them it was
not entertained and had no effect. Ii
fell like water on a ducks back. Ii
fact, l was informed that it was simply
curbstone meeting Of very short dura,
tion. and the Regulars had ample time
to visit the theatre. "
After the Regulars had left Dover, @
telegram was received here, announcing
that the conference had been declared
off temporarily, owing to the inability
sequence of the congressional session,
| TO leave Washington.
