MANUFACTURING EXCELSIOR.
Some Interesting Facts About a Little
 Known Business.


 Excelsior, an American invsntion, which is extensively used for packing purposes and in the manufactu of bedfdng and other upholstery uses, is; not,as is generally believed, made from shavings," said a wholesale dealer in the material to the writer recently. Tt is an article of regular manufac- ture and between 95,OOO and 4O0G9 tons of the curling wood fiber are turned out by the eastern and western lumber mills annually.
 "Basswood and poplar aTe the woods used in the production The logs are sawed into lengths of eighteen inches, which is the length of a fibre of excel sior. These blocks are in split halves and the wood is properly seasoned Excelsior is made of diffic rent degrees of coarseness and fnenass of fiber. in the manufacture a series of knife points run down the face of the block. cutting into the wood in parallel lines that are spaced according to the width of the fibre to be made. A following knife slices off the whole face os th. block thus served. The fibers CUTS and comingle as :he knife sets them free. An excelsior machine makes 200 to 300 strokes minute, every stroke cutting off tier of fibers across tha face of the block. The usual commercial package of excelsior is a bale weighing about 250 pounds. At wholesale excelsior sells at from $16 to $40 a ton.
 American excelsior is exported to Central America, to the West Indies, to England and other foreign countries. where several thousand tons of the fiber are shipped yearly. y."-Washirgt gton Star.

OvERRULED.
Motion For Continuance in
Powers Case Denied.

Georgetown, KY, July 1.-THE motion
of the defense for a continuance in the
case Of ex-Secretary of State Caleb
Powers, charged with being accessory
to the Goebel murder, came up before
Judge Cantrin at 9 o'clock. Common
wealth's attorney, Franklin, in present
ing the objection of the prosecution
claimed that the defendant had not ex-
ercised due diligence to get his witness
es here.
Ex-Governor Brown. for the defense,
replied, saying that the affidavits filed
showed abundance of cause for a con-
tinuance, and asserted that trial un-
der the circumstances would be so much
labor lost as the high courts would GER
tainly reverse the verdict ON the ground
of error.
The motion for a continuance was
overruled, the court finding that it was
the fault of the defense that all wit
nesseS were not present. Court notified
the defense that they might have at
tachments issued returnable next Tues
day for all absent witnesses and said
special bailiffs would be provided and
compulsory process granted in order to
bring witnesses here if it is desired.

in behalf of the Democratic candidates in
September. He was against the Chicago
platform four years ago. and his antag-
onism to the Democratic candidates then
was because of that He said:
Il am greatly pleased with the portions
of the Kansas City platform declaring
against imperialism and militarism. Be
sides its campaign value. its dictfon is
wonderful and would have done credit to
Macaulay. Imperialism in my estimation.
overshadows every other issue in the
country today, and 1 shall work and vote
for the success of the Democratic ticket.
I do not regard silver even a secondary
issue, especially as the Democrats them
selves would oppose 16 to in congress, as
the Kansas City convention has shown.
II am free to say that 999 out of 1000
Germans will vote the Democratic ticket,
because of the party's stand on imper-
ialism and militarism, except, of course,
German office-holders. Germans know
what Imperialism means. The issue is.
shall this republic live or die? Hence the
German voters. almost to a. man, will cast
their ballots for Bryan and Stevenson.
The ticket is vastly superior to the soft
writer and rough rider on the other ticket.
The statement we hear so much nova
days that trade follows the flag is bum
cornbe and nonsense. Nations and indi-
viduals will trade where they can do best,
irrespective of affiliation. Canada does
not buy all she needs from England

the opposite holds true of European
coal producing countries.
The rapidity with which the produc-
ton of coal has increased may be ap-
preciated when we consider the present
volume OF that production and reflect
in how recent time the production
formed but a very small fraction of that
quantity. In 1896 the total coal pro-
duct of the world was 664 million short
tons or 604 million metric tons. Until
as late a period as 1873 the world s
product had never been half so great
being then only 202 million metric tons.
and not until 1868 had the worlds pro-
duction been as much as third as large
as it is at present
In 1864 the worlds product was only
174 million metric tons. or less than 20
per cent. of that of 1896.
The production is chiefly in the hands
of three nations, the Americans, the
British and the Germans. During the
last thirty years and even earlier, the
combined output of these three coun-
tries has averaged year for year about
five-sixths of the worlds total output
Possessing but about 10 per cent of
the worlds population. they have pro-
duced about SO per cent. Of the mineral
fuel while the remaining 90 per cent.
of the worlds inhabitants have pro-
duced only about II per cent of the
coal, and even if the savage and semi
barbarous nations be disregarded, the
immense preponderance of coal pro-
duction in these countries must be con-
ceded. To this group might be added
Belgium, which produces and consumes
more coal per capita than any other
country except the United Kingdom,
.T,<s
placing it in the second rank of coal
producing countries
While the continued output Of these
three countries has kept pace with the
production of the rest Of the world,
their relative position has been mate
rally altered. In 1868 the United King
dom produced over three times as
much as either the United States or
Germany. BY 1875 the output of the
United Kingdom was still considerably
greater than the combined output of
the United States and Germany. The
next half decennial period witnessed
remarkable increase in the American
product and a correspondingly relative
decrease in that of Great Britain, the
respective proportions being Sc. % and
II per cent. This increase was main
tanned in the present decade and in 1886
the output of the United Kingdom was
only "a per cent, that of the United
States 80 per cent, and that of Ger
many 1872 per cent of the worlds total
output. These statistics clearly show
that the United Kingdom is rapidly
losing it's former re-eminence as a
coal-producing power, and that while
its production is increasing rapidly it's
absolute increase is less than that of
the United States. and its relative in
crease considerably less than that of
either the United States or Germany.
