practicability of process invented in
Essen, Germany.
The process consisted in brief in the
combustion of certain chemical COM
pound in connection with powdered
aluminium.
Mr.. Dreyfus placed in crucible a
bar of steel six inches in length and
half an inch in diameter Placing
around it a teacupful OF his chemical
and pouring on this a small quality
of powdered aluminium, he touched
match to 1t and in an instant it blaz-
ed up, throwing out an intense heat.
in less than 10 seconds by the watch
the steel bar was completely melted.
Mr. Edison was delighted with the
results.
Mr., Dreyfus said that the process
was now being used in the welding to-
gether of steel rails. By simple
chemical device the two chemicals. or
rather the chemical and the aluminium
can be fed continuously at any desired
point and the local application of the
heat continued as long as desired.

WEDNESDAY. APRIL III 1900.
Congressional Convention, Fit
teenth District.

The Republicans of the Fifteenth
Congressional District met at Zanes-
willie yesterday and in convention
which was full of spirit, re-nominated
n. Clay vanVoorhis, result which
has been forecasted for days past
As predicted, but one ballot was had
on which ar. vanVoorhis received 13O
votes, Mr.. Davis, of Washington, AZ;
Mr. ogier, of Guernsey, 81; Col. Nun
son, of Muskingum, 4. Col. Riley be-
fore the ammo uncement of the result OF
the ballot gracefully moved to make
Mr.. vanVoorhis's nomination unani-
nous. which was done with much en-
thusiasm and hearty good will. Des-
perate effort was made by those who
saw the inevitable to draw Judge Crew
or Stanberry, of Morgan, as stalking
horse, but such men were not to be en-
ticed.
Mr.. ]. II. Grafton, of cur town, was
chairman of the convention and 1t was
due to his sound sense and good busi-
ness methods that the work was con-
Quoted expeditiously and without fric-
tfon and to the entire satisfaction OF
all. But one effort was made TO make
a breeze, and that was soon oiled away
After the nomination for Congress
man, Judge Archer, of Noble, was
elected Presidential Elector. Dele
gates to the National Convention are
]. NJ. Rusk of Morgan; P. C. Patter-
son, of Guernsey. l.. c. Hayes, OF
Washington, and Round, of Noble, are
altenates.
C. c. Chamberlain was made Wash
ington countys member of the Con-
gressional committee.
To say that harmony prevailed is to
put it mildly Mckinney and Folleti
looked after that part CT it, R. A. Un
derwood presented Mr.. Davis's claims
for recognition by the convention anG
did it in a very forceful speech.
The agony is now over, and we
make no question that all are glad OF
it. Mr.. VanVoorhis will no doubt re-
ceive Washington county's full vote a;
the election.

The Dewey Boom.

The Adonis CT the Democratic side
of the House, Mr.. Dinsmore. of Arkan-
sas, was asked for an opinion upon
Admiral Dewey's presidential aspira-
tions. He replied: when man
mlrries his troubles begin. That is
ore OF the reasons why | have never

ais household, when asked about the
decision to enter the field, answered,
why not? The whole country wants
HIM Cne of The incidents of the Ad-
mrals campaign, now in its first days,
was the reception OF a newspaper con-
tanning an editorial headed, Dewey

listen" The paper was one which had
led in the raising of the Dewey hbuse
fund. The editor was personal
friend. AS sentence succeeded sent
ence, the Admiral's voice changed.
So did the countenarce of the family.
In his kindest manner the editor had
endeavcred to show that Dewey for
President" wouldn't do at all. The
reading stopped. There was silence,
broken by some fireside coincidence.
Dewey said; Il used to think that
fellcw could write good English. /

mixed up. You can't tell what he

Many Candidates Spoken Of

This thing of naval heroes in poll
tics is getting interesting, and Dewey
is not having it all his own way
While he has adopted the Democratic
party, the Democratic party has MOI
adopted him, but on the contrary, it is
said tonight that Admiral Schley is be-
ing discussed as Presidential posi-.
bifity on the Democratic ticket. The
fever seems to have infected the Re
publican party as well, for the newest
candidate TO be mentioned for Vice
President cn that ticket is General
Fred Funston.
This is the Vice Presidential situa.
tion in brief: Hanna, Lodge, Chand-
Ter, Manley and Dick still have hope
they may be able to persuade Governor
Roosevelt.
The Robert Pattison boom for the
Democratic nomination touched no re.
sponsive chord.
If the Republicans can't persuad,
Roosevelt they will try hard to get a
man from Indiana CT Illinois, These
States, because of the Porto Rico tariff
bin, will be classed as doubtful.
The Populists have not selected
man to run second to Mr.. Bryan OF
their ticket, although their convention
will be held in Sioux City on May 9.

Glass Case For Washington.

Washington will be exhibited In a
glass case in front of the Capitol If a
bill introduced by Representative
Pearre, of Maryland, shall become a
law. Washington, as he was imagined
and fashioned by Greenough, sits in a
pretty largely naked condition upon a
pedestal Immediately opposite the east
front of the Capitol.
Long ago is was found that the sta
tue was suffering from the variable
climate and from vandals armed with
pricks and hammers, and to protect 1t
from the weather ahed was provided,
to be erected over the head at the ap-
proach of frost and removed with the
coming of spring. II Is one of the
sights of sunny April day to see this
shed moved eff on rollers to a neigh
boring junk yard.

Curious Case Of Turkish Off
cial Rapacity.

There Is curious illustration Of the
rapacity OF Turkish officials in re-
port just sent to the state department
by Consul Merrill at Jerusalem Pal
estine was once considered land
flowing with milk and honey. Modern
methods OF cultivating the honey bee
were not introduced until 1880, when a
Swiss family named Baldensperger
made start and began making money
1t was not long before this industry
began to attract the attention of the
government, and at first tax OF q lit
tie less than 10 cents hive was i'm
posed but this was soon increased by
an ingenious device whereby officials
not only counted the actual hives, but
every door, window and hole in which
they could seen any bees moving was
reckoned as hive" with the result
that $50 hives were counted as 1000.
The matter had to be carried TO
court and was not settled until after
two years of litigation, when the
Baldensperbers were found in debt 20
the government to the amount OF
about $500. This decision affected enc
large apiary only. 1t was in 1880 that
this judgment was rendered, and, as
the Baldenspergers refused to pay,
this apiary was sold at auction in Jer-
usalem for about SLIPS per hive.
The difficult part of the work was to
deliver the goods to the purchaser,
which the officials were bound to do.
The purchaser, officials and a large
number of camels and camel drivers
went to the place where the aplary
stood, expecteg to take it away but.
as the bottom boards of the hives hap
pened to be unlocked, the bees, when
the hives were touched, swarmed, and
everybody had to retreat. A compro-
mise was affected ,one-half the amount
demanded being paid, and the bees re-
mained in the hands of their original
owners Chicago Tribune.

Cost of Congressional Fun

Cost of Congressional funerals it
he subject of recent research on the
>art of the House Clerk. His repor
exhibits a rather wide divergence in
n eexpenses. 1t is found that the
-otal funeral outlay CT the Fifty-fifth
Congress os $S,69091. The most elab-
)rate was that of Mr.. Dingley, at an
estimated cost amounting to S4,5S1, 70;
he lowest that of the funeral of Mr.
Greene, amounting to s233.49. The
average expense was s1.557. The ex.
pense of the Dingley funeral was in
cured by double service in Wash
.ngton. a service in Maine, a specla
rain. and "commissary supplies" cost
ing 1926. AT the comparatively mex
pensive funeral of Mr.. Greene, the
Popuhst member from Nebraska, there
we're none of these supplies"
Cigars appear to be the favorite Con-
sressional solace in time of grief. The
same is true of the funerals of Love
md Northway. There are no charges
for music, gloves, wreaths or flowers,
cigars or "commisary supplies" In
the case OF the others, however, these
charges are conspicuous. To bury
Hurley required not
only cigars and "commissary supplies"

Brooklyn. The church expenses alone
we're 1882 and the flowers $50. Even

Before and After.
DICK TO JIM.
II He Were TO Write Today.

ff~%N - 'fhaeN a NN'e'|
II Dickwere to write to Jim today, this
is about what he would say:
Dear Jim--You asked me to write
the day before the primaries. l can
only take time to say things are
warm" still. You know there is no
natural sentiment for our candidate.
The expensive campaign Of last year
was lost when we found we dare not
appoint delegates by the committee, so
was compelled to So into primaries
at great increase in expense" But,
thank the Lord. some relief has come,
and a bunch of money was received
Wednesday from outside the county,
and we are going for those twenty del
egates.
This is placed in the hands of an ex-
county official. and between "us gurls"
he is a slick one. In the city we are
doing our level best, but got hot
shot last night from one of the best
workers in the city. | asked him to
name his price and he came back at
me with what has VanVoorhis ever
done fer Washington county," | said
dam" and he replied, Yes, and ap-
pointed you postmaster" You know
l Helpeu 10 Keep tHe convention IGun
Marietta twice. | asked him to name
his price, but he replied, You haven't
money enough to hire me to work
against this county" So | am up
against 1t. The publication of my let
ters, which you dropped, has given me
too much prominence. But there are
others in the machine with me, some
county officials, ex-officials and others
;abbed for future preferment. My lat
est from Muskingum is bad for Van.
Munson will have 80 or more, am
afraid. Now, Jim, for Heavens sake,
don't drop this letter. Tear il up, burn
it and stamp on the ashes.
Yours tiredly,

Roosevelt's Ambition.

Governor Roosevelt when in confer
ence with Senator Plat and B. B.
] Odell, Jr,, chairman Of the Republican
State Committee, at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel, New York, yesterday forenoon,
declared that his attitude toward the
Vice Presidential nomination was un-
hanged. The Governor took break
East with Senator Platt and Mr. Odell
1T the hotel, and the situation in the
state and also matters pertaining to
National affairs were discussed. The
Governor in the course of the con-
versaticn remarked earnestly that he
did not wish to be nominated for Vice
President, but that he did desire a re-
nomination and reelection as Cover
nor. Both Senator Platt and Mr.
Odell listened to the Governor atten-
lively, and apparently agreed that he
should be renominated; but there were
no pledges given, it is said, and the
Governor did not, so it is understood,
ask for any. 1t was also said that he
did not bring the matter up as an is
sue, but that it came up in a general
conversation.
The politicians were saying yester-
day that while Governor Roosevelt's
position regarding a denomination fer
Governor and his disinclinaton to be
nominated for Vice President have not
altered, the next few months may pos
5ibly work change, 1t is a little
TOO early, they say, to forecast what
Will be done in June. There is no tell
ing, they declare, wnat complications
may arise in the meantime. For this
reason, they say, that while Senator
Platt and Mr.. Odell may at the pres
ent moment agree heartily with the
Governor that the best course is to re-
nominate him, at the present moment
I would be unwise politically to
make any rockbound political
pledges.
In the meantime Lieutenant Cover
nor Woodruff is PRESSING his candi-
lacy for the second place on the ticket
N the face of certain difficulties. Mr. |
Woodruff received rather disccurag- |
ng setback some time ago when SEN
Itor Hanna, chairman of the Republi-
AN National Committee, in an inter-
,iew declared that had no preference
or any one for the nomination fer
Vice President, but added that he was
lot for Woodruff. Mr. Woodruff then
let about to get support from New
FORK. He has received the indorse-
nent of the Republican Senators at
Albany, and has also tried to arrange
o have the coming state convention,
which will elect four delegates-at-large
o the Republican National Conven-
ion in Philadelphia. indorse his can
idacy for the office. Recently it has
een limited that he would fail in this
tempt.

Immediately changed her course and went
to the vessel to take off any one who might
be aboard the ship. but found no signs Of
life. The fire was burning fiercely from
the stern to midship, the after part of the
ship having already been Quilted. The top
mast was burned away.
Not finding any life, the Rhynland blew
her whistle for quite awhile, in the hope
that the crew Of the vessel might be within
hearing and make their wherea bouts
known, but the Rhynland saw nothing and
proceeded. She is supposed to have carried
crew of from fifteen to twenty men. Her
captains name was Metzen. The vessel
