Too Many Interviews.
Chicago Inter Ocean: There came near
being tragedy at The Auditorium an
mex last evening. II all came about
from an entry on the register as follows:
u. ". Wilson, Washington, D. c." This
entry caught the eye OF divers and sun
dry reporters, who jumped to the con-
clusion that this was the secretary of
agriculture, and concerted move to-
ward Mr.. Wil:on's room began.
II so happened, however, that the Mr..
Wilson at the annex was not the same
Mr.. Wilson suspected by the reporters,
rot the secretary Of agriculture at all,
but plain, ordinary, unassuming cit
izen. who craved quiet more than all
things. But he was patient and cour-
teOus, and the first thcee. or four rcpor-
tiers who asked him about the crops
and what. he was g0lng to do for the
Philippines. and how man. seeds he in

thought the island OF Guam would cut
any large figure in the production OF
corn, and what President McKlnley's
policy was. and how politics looked in

never had been and never would be,
Providence willing.
But rs the procession of scribes kept
coming. cheerful and eXpectant. without
any prospect OF an end, Mr. Wilson lost
his equanlmity and summoned the
clerk, to whom h read the riot act.
II don't want TO disgrace your hotel
or make any trouble" said he. bur, by

He waved the clerk away. No more

last night.

The opposition organ deliberately
falslfles in its comment upon the ludi-.
crous action of the Democratic candi-
dates for council in the Seventh ward,
when 1t says that the Republican candi-
dates there have not pledged them
selves to free bridges. Is it necessary
TO recall to the attention OF the Regis
ter the fact that the Republican sug-
gestion meeting on the Island endorsed
free bridges and that no such platform
of principles was enunciatcd at the
Democratic suggestion meeting? II the
Register forgets this. other people have
not.

ALUMINIUM FOUND.
San Diego Union: If aluminium is
not added to the products of San Diego
County it will be strange. The miner
al exists in great quantities on FL Cajon
Mountain. Analysis shows that the
vast deposits of kaolin,.or fine pottery
clay, which have recently been men
toned in the Union" are even more
valuable for the aluminium they con-
tain, than for the kaolin, though both
minerals exist in such quantities that
either can be profitably mined.
The kaolin deposits were first brought
into public notice by the negotiations
opened by Charles e. Stream, a pros
pector, looking to the sale of his twelve
claims Of kaolin on Cajon Mountain,
and by the subsequent sale of the prop
erty to George Fuller and Ernest Riall
OF this city, who had first investigated
the demand for kaolin and who were
convinced that the deposits were of
great value. The discovery Of the clay,
and the success of Stream in disposing
of his claims, caused other persons to
take up claims adjoining those first dis
covered. Among those interested were
Thomas j. Daley, z. D. Martin and c.
"A. d'Hemecourt Of this city. They filed
upon eleven claims, covering an area
OF 10 acres which takes in a vast de-.
posit Of the kaolin
Local assayers and chemists were
surprised when they analyzed the kao-
lin from the new claims. The princi-
pal requisites Of good kaolin were ap-
parent in the mineral, but the pottery
clay did not wholly absorb their atten-
ton. The chief value of the mineral,
1T was found, lay in the fact that it
contained 80 per cent of silicate of
alumina. The complete analysis showed
the following ingredients: Fleouride of
calcium 80 per cent, lime 5 per cent,
silicate of alumina 80 per cent. albite
IN solution 20 per cent, potash 5 per
cent, waste and water 10 per cent.
Mining men yesterday were greatly
interested in the analysis of the kao-
lin, and those more or less familiar
with the mining of aluminium said the
owners had struck a good thing. AS
sayer G. c. Robbins has analyzed the
product of aluminium deposits in Ala
bama and other parts of the country,
and stated yesterday that the Alabama
mineral, as mined showed from 20 to
40 per cent. of silicate of alumina. AS
the deposits on Cajon Mountain show
80 per cent. of alumina, Mr. Robbins
believes that the mines can be worked
for this mineral alone at a great profit

Dressing Partisan Dogs.

There seems to be some 5000 or 600
persons in Paris who are determined to
make the canine race go to the dogs
as speedily as unreasonable pamper-
ing can send them there. This num-
Der of so-called lovers of dogs is. ac-
cording to an article in "Good Words, %
inscribed on the books of the Partisan
dog-tailors. One of the tailors took
the writer of the article in his conf
dence, saying:
For the most part our clients be-
long to the higher classes of society
people who can afford to pay high
prices and who pay ready cash. The
business is, therefore, a very profitable
one, because the materials used do not
cost very much and we sell them at a
large profit. For instance, 1 recently
had a very remunerative order from the
daughter of a diplomat in Paris. She
was about to be married, and made
set of gala-clothes for her dogs to
match the liveries of the lackeys in
her fathers household AS the bride
entered the residence after the cere-
mony, her three dogs were awaiting
her at the top of the grand-staircase
dressed in these costumes with bou-
quets of orange blossoms attached to
their collars, and held in a silken leash
by one Of the footmen. The effect was
marvelousi Then again, the daughter
of a rich banker. recently married, had
another idea. I made, to measure, for
each of her dogs-she had half-a-dozen
regular bridesmaids costumes of
white faille embroidered with lace and
garlanded with orange blossoms. while
on their feet they wore small slippers
of white satin, also specially made to
measured"
One does not quite know whether pity
for the dogs thus tortured, or contempt
for the owners who bend their minds
to such doings, is the predominant feel
ing aroused at these facts.
The waterproof for rainy days, the
dust-cloak for Journeys, the mantle for
cold weather, and the gray linen suit
for seaside wear are all articles with
which a French society dog has long
become familiar. But this year, Mr.
Waller tells US. the poor creatures
owners have gone one step further in
rendering the sublime handiwork of the
Creator ridiculous by providing their
pets with sets of fine linen. No So
would think of possessing less than a
dozen undergarments of lawn If it be in
good health, or of silk or surah if it
should be subject to colds or nervous
complaints! Then If the poor darling
should be troubled with watery eyes, a
dozen embroidered cambria hanGaer-
chiefs become an absolute necessity.
And this is not all. His delicate little
feet NUT be kept dry by boots, made
to measure, of leather or India-rubber
to suit his particular temperament. =,
This, together with bracelets and tie
pins, with perfumes and fancy soaps.
with ivory combs and brushes, and a
good many other things, makes up the
dogs toilet necessaries, and if the
Partisan pet dog could speak she would
certainly explain that his friends" lead
him the life of dog, in the worst in
depreciation of that saying.-We Westmin-
