AMERICAN LOOKING GLASSES.
This Country Now Imports but Few
 Mirrors and Trade Is Increasing.


 Most of the french mirrors bought in the United States today are made here. Very little looking glass is im- ported now compared to a decade ago. The tables are gradually turning. The European nations do not see them selves in American mirrors, but the Central and South Americans are very partial to the America looking glasses, and this country is doing a large ex- port business to that quarter. Penn sylvania and Indiana furnish most Of the glass which is turned into Ameri- can mirrors at present, but plate glass factories that can turn out quality of glass suitable for the use of mirror manufacturers are springing lip very rapidly in several Of the eastern states The American glassmakers have finally succeeded in turning out a superior quality of clear white glass which makes as fine mirrors as can be bought in any part of the world. The leading looking glass makers have found this out and they import very little glass for their use. Not more than one-tenth of the mirrors made in this country last year were made of imported glass, whereas 8 few years ago nearly all the American mirror makers were compelled to go abroad for their glass; II the matter of frames, the American mirrors are now put up quite as richly as any of the foreign creations. The multiple mirror, in which one can see ones image from all sides and angles, is strictly an American creation, and has proved big success with mer- chants, especially clothiers and ladies' furnishers. As for size, larger mirrors are made in this country today than were ever attempted in Europe York Times.

The Way to do 1t.

The following from the Hibbing
Tribune shows what the people of the
Mesaba town think of their fire de-
partment. 1t not, only shows due
respect but also shows that the effor IS
of the boys are appreciated. The
Tribune says: "The Fire Company on
their return from Eveleth received an
enthusiastic reception by the people
of Hibbng who all take an interest
in the boys who are so prompt to res
pond to an alarm of fire and who by
their quick and intelligent work
MANY times prevented what might
have been serious confiagrations.
The streets OF the city were all dec
grated with evergreens, flags and
bunting. The city.offcials and many
Of tile citizens drove TO the depot in
carriages, where the procession was
formed headed by the Hibbing Band.
As the train pulled up j. B.: Connors
was seen to take the haywire off a
bale of Peerless and A. A. French was
close second, Opening.a box of choice
cigars. The first thing the boys did
on getting off the train was TO dive
into these luxuries in way that
would make a fellow think their sup
ply had run out several days before.
After this they were escorted to
Carriages and driven to the fire hall
where President Grandsey and Attor-
ney Powers delivered short addresses
thanking the boys in behalf of the
village for the splendid work done by
them at. Eveleth and the gentlemanly
way in which they conducted them
selves while in that city. These
speeches were responded to by Chief
McHardy and Attorney Il. F. Brady
in behalf of the fire department..
This demonstrate has proven to
the members of the fire company
that the people do take an interest in
them beyond the few dollars that are
paid to them every month and the
department has proven to the people
that they are worthy of thia in
| tereSt."

Arguments Begun in Appeal Case
 Against N. E. Street R. R. Co.
 Trenton, N. J., Dec. Assignment was begun in the court of errors to- day in the case of the Israel Kelsey estate against the New England Street Railway company and the Boston Safe Deposit and Trust company. The suit involves control of a majority of the stock of the Winchester Avenue Rail- road company of New Haven Conn., The matter is before the court on an ap- peal from a decision by Vice Chancellor Emory. The complainant seeks to have the defendant enjoined from transfer ring to George F. Fernold 17,954 shares of the Winchester avenue road. It is claimed that Kelsey, when alive, nego- tiated for the purchase of these shares with committee of the board of di- rectors, but that F'ernold prevented a ratification of the agreement of the sale to Kelsey, and obtained an option for himself. Vice Chancellor Emory denied the injunction applied for by the Kel- sey estate to restrain the transferring of the stock to Fernold and the matter was then carried to the court of errors by the Kelsey estate. The matter is in the New Jersey courts because the New England Street Railway company which has title to the stock in question, is New Jersey corporation.

ENGLAND'S INVASION EASY?
4 DEEP SENSATION CAUSED IN
 THE FRENCH SENATE.

General Mercier Speaks of the Possi-
 biIity of War With Great Britain
 Wealsness-A Motion for an Expert
 mental Mobilization of the Navy and
 Army.
 Paris, Dec. 4.--General Mercier caus- ed a deep sensation in the senate to-day during the debate on the naval Dill py pointing out the ease by which England could be invaded, He demanded that the government introduce into the plans for the mobilization of the army the navy methods for the rapid empafka- tion and debarkation of an expedltlon- ary corps. The president, M, Falllefes' intervened, declaring that such propo- sals were out Of order.
 In the course of an extraordinary speech General Mercier said
 Tn view of the possibility Of war with Great Britain, the use of the army is not sufficiently taken into account. The times are not the same as they were hundred years ago. Steam, the navy, the telegraph and the railroad have rendered the problem of the inVa- sion of England much easier of solu- tion, Moreover, England herself is no longer the same The Transvaal war has shown that the British army, al- though brave, is not equal to the task which England expected it to perform. VT11- n...L L.S.J. .e, has many coasts to defend.
 France, therefore, is numerically England's equal at certain points and is even her superior in the instruments of destruction. History furnishes many instances of mutiny in the British navy at the moment of battle. A landing in England is, therefore, not beyond real ization.
 "This is not only my opinion, but that also of high naval officers. The British premier recently expressed sig ni1cant fears and if the principle of landing is admitted. the practical means of execution may be discussed.
 ''I venture to think that the work I prepare while commanding an army corps would serve as a basis for such project, which would not be eXpen- sive.'
 At this point protests were raised and M. Fallieres asked General Mercier not to enter into the details of the scheme.
 General Mercier replied that the i scheme could be "held over the head of | England, like the sword of Damocles, | and he proposed a resolution that the | senate should invite the government to immediate preparations for the mobilization of the army and navy by preparing everything necessary to embark and disembark as rapidly as possible an expeditionary corps"
 Protests were raised from various | benches, and M. De Lanessan, minister of marine, followed the presidents, rul- ing that the motion was out of order in | the present debate by declaring amid cheers that the government could not possible accept 1t.
