The device which makes the shoe"
a human WebfOOt is an 'arrangemeD-
of two aluminium links adjusted 10 the
sides near the ankles or "insteps." In
the water these links work automatf-
cally. so that they cause outside up-
perS-duplicateS of the UpperS proper
to expand when the propelling or back
stroke" is given with either leg. In
this respect the action of webfooted or
swimming fowl is duplicated to a
nicely.
But this web-foot feature is even
more closely parallel to the ducks
or swans foot in the reverse action
or SO-called forward stroke" of the
swimmers foot when incased in the
new appliance. With the Withdrawal
of the human foot for every back
stroke" the web-like formation con-
tracts and closes in around the inside
upper of the swimming shoe. Thus
is reproduced in most striking way the
cOntFactive and the expansive action Of

in the case of the swimming shoe the
web uppers perform in the water au-
tomatically the function which the
ducks Webbed toes enact because Of
the directive movement impaired
through the exercise Of energy and vo-
litiOn or instinct on the part of the
padding fowl.
AS a parachute gives a sort of grip
or hold on the air to an aerOnaut de-
scending from among the Clouds so
Inventor Horn has figured out that
through the expansion of the artificial
human webfoOt the swimmer obtains
sort Of grip upon the water and gains
q tremendous accession Of pTOpeIIing
power. The laws of mechanics and
hydrOstatics uphold this theory. pro-
vided the webfoOted apparatus works
properly on human feet.
That it works like a charm is the
assertion of Inventor Horn, who de-
clares that after a thorough test the
professors of swimming at the Chicago
Athletic association and elsewhere
have pronounced it an adjunct of the
greatest value either in teaching begin
ners how N swim or as an aid TO ex-
perts.

STEEL MAGNATES AGREE.
VIII Close Mills if Demand Is
Small.

Chicago, July 27.-The conference of
the representatives of the steel and
iron interests of the country was re-
sumed at the offices of the Federal
Steel company in this city today.
The conference was concluded about
noon. E. H. Gary, president of the
Federal Steel company then gave out
the following formal statement:
Undue prominence has been given
to the meeting of the representatives
OF the iron and steel interests in this
city. Presidents and managers of the
leading producers of iron have been
in consultation and have been frank
in expressing opinions as to the policy
which they intend to apply to the bus
mess of their companies. There is no
agreement or disagreement regarding
future operations. However, it is the
expectation OF all that if at any time.

THEY WANT THAT $4,000.
Regular Democrats After Residue of
Palmer Campaign Fund.

New York, July 27.-The Herald saws.
Surprise was expressed by sound money
Democrats yesterday over the news
from INDIANAPOLIS that the gold Demo-
cratic national committee still had
$4,000 in the treasury left over from the
campaign of 1898. This is almost nm
eXampled in the history of political
committees. 1t was known that the
business men OF New York literally
poured money into the gold Democratic
organization, but it was thought thar
ali the money had been spent. This
bellet was based on repeated and in
SiStdnt demands for more money which
were made on Cornelius n. Bliss. treas
uIer OF the republican national COM
mittee, by leaders Of the sound money
movement in certain western states.
and on appeals made late in October
by the Palmer and Buckner Democrats
or Chicago on Senator Hanna.
The statement has been made that
the money the gold Democrats received
for their campaign was furnished by
the Republican managers. This was
denied yesterday and il was said that
most of the funds were raised through
the lnstrumentality of the late Roswell
+. Flower who of all the sound money
men in the east emerged from the
campaign with the most credit.
Democratic managers in the ST.
James building are exceedingly desir-
Gus of getting possession of the SO 600.
State Chairman Frank Campbell could
make good use Of it. and Len Wagner
announced last night that he was
thinking of taking a train for Indian
apolis and try to get the funds out of
the bank. The state COMMITTEES has
not $4,000 in sight, unless it can get
this money, which Mr.. Haldeman of
Louisville moved in Indianapolis on
Wednesday, be sent to David 3. Hill.

When a company of the Seventh in

for Fort Logan, one of the historic
frontier forts of the United States will
be abandoned, and will revert TO the
management of the Indian agent
For many years San Carlos was the
hotbed OF Apache troubles. When the
Apaches decided TO leave their reserva-
ton and swOop into Old Mexico their
trail lay close beside the fort and the
result was that soldiers at the post
in the early days saw plenty of fight

the ella and San Carlos rivers, ct the
southern corner of the Apache reser-
walton, and was known fifteen or TWEEN
" years ago as the most dangerous
post in the west. 1t was the time when
the Apaches were almost continually
on the war path; when a quiet week
or month was sure to be followed by
raid by the Indians which called for
hard riding and hard fighting by the
soldiers.
Army officers said yesterday that
there was never time for many years
when the officers and men in San Car

raids by the Indians became so fire.

San Carlos was known, aside from

GIRLS AND SNAKES.
One Girl Took Off Her Waist hnd
Ousted the Snakes.
(Minneapolis Tribunel


Lake MinnetOnka has not been the
theatre of a sea serpent yarn for sew

that is worth telling, if only to chronicle
the bravery of Florence FOUch, daUghr-

business is in First avenue south.
The other day a neighbOr Of The

Shiny reptiles, a quartette Of snakes

CONE BACK INTOFOLD
Gold Democrats Returning,
Says Chairman Jones.
THE OUTLOOK Is BRIGHT
SENATOR LIKES PROSPECT OF
ANTI-IMPERIALIST TICKET.

New York. July Ex-senator James
X. Jones. chairman of the Democratic
national committee, reached the city
this morning from Washington and
went direct to the Hoffman house. He
said that the Democratic state COM
mittoe would manage the campaign in
New York state until it might be ne
cessary to establish national head
quarters.
Senator Jones said he came to look
over the situation and talk with the
leaders and does not know how long he
viii stay.
Asked what he thought of the sig
nifcauce of the failure of the gold
Democrats to name a third ticket, he
replied:
"Why, I think that means that a
number of gold Democrats will vote
for Bryan. / don't see what other con-
struction can be placed on it."
Asked about the anti-imperialists'
meeting August IA, he answered:
THAT VIII also help Bryan immense
~ and viii help the Democratic party
in various ways"
Speaking of the absence of any in
come tax plank in the Democratic
platform. Senator Jones said:
''As chairman of the Democratic ma
tional committee and also as chairman
OF the platform committee ] can say
that it was a matter of unintenti0nal
oversight that it was left out, 1t was
in the platform, but the stenographer
in revising his notes left it our and il
was not noticed. It practically makes
no difference, anyhow, as the platform
re-endOrses the platform of 1886 and
that necessarily endorses the income
tax plank of that platform. We have
then, in an indirect way, it is true, an
income tax plank"
Chairman Jones said he did not know
when the national Democratic commit
tee would appoint the executive COM
mittee

CHINESE QUIT NEW YORK.
Fear Being Robbed and Head For
-Cuba

New York, July 27.-Many of the
Cinnamon of this city, who fear that
revenge will be taken on them for the
outrages of the Boxers in China, are
arranging to leave the city, but they
are not going to China. The island
of Cuba is the haven of safety which
they have in view, and inducements
Tor them to go there are not wanting.
The amount of Spanish money which
is IN circulation in Chinatown is proof
OF the success of the Cinnamon who
have recently returned from the island
The stories they tell of profitable work
on the tobacco plantations and the
considerable treatment they receive
from the Spaniards and Cubans is hav-
ing its effect on those who are anxious
to leave this city
The prospect of big tobacco crop
is partially responsible for the outgo.
