USES OF OLD PAPER.
What Was Once a Loss Now tho
Basis of Big Business.


New York Mail and Express.
A curious and interesting feature Of
the paper-making industry was brought
to the notice of an Office manager few
days ago by a letter of inquiry. The IN
curry was about accumulations OF writ
ten matter no longer of use,but of such
a private business nature as to necessi-
tate careful disposal in order to prevent
examination by outside parties-old ac-
count books, for instance.
Years ago large offices used at some eX-
pense to have such accumulations 'ie-
stroyed usually by fire. But this was
troublesome, for paper in compact form
is slow to burn, and the destroying OF
books and stacks of paper tended to clog
furnaces.
In course of time paper manufacturer
hit on the idea Of taking such old papers
to mill under assurances OF privacy and
chemically removing all trace of writing.
Market price being allowed for the pa
per thus gathered, what was before mere
ly a waste and a source of trouble be-
sides became productive of a revenue
worthy of consideration, and the plan
grew in favor. At first houses would
send employees with the stuff to the mills
to be sure that no scattering occurred,
but gradually this precaution came to
be discontinued.
A large paper concern Will HILLS III
Connecticut has for years made spe-
cialty of collecting such papers from
bankers, insurance companies and large
mercantile houses and shipping them d1-
rectly to the mills, where, by the Use OF
strong chemicals, all traces of writing
are destroyed before the material is work.
ed over into paper pulp This feature OF
the economics of a great citys affalrs
has grown to great proportions, ana
sometimes single loads contain as much
as twenty or thirty tons of paper, ALI
marked with writing.
Incidentally, the spread of contag1on
by this method is effectually prevented,
When the writing has disappeared from
the sheets, so have allsyestige of life.
The refuse collected aids in making
different varieties of paper, and the
careful sorting process that must be en-
ployed constitutes one Of the chief items
of expense in using this material Ihe
stuff which. comes from correspondence

Headquarters, containing wood pulp, must

Thousands have tried from time i'm
memorial to discover some efficacious
remedy for wrinkles and other imperfec-
tions of the complexion, but none had
yet succeeded until the Misses Bell, the
now famous Complexion Specialists, of rs
Fifth Avenue, New York City, offered
the public their wonderful Complexion
Tonic. The reason so many failed to
make this discovery before is plain, be-
cause they have not followed the right
principle Balms, Creams, Lotions, ETC.,
never have a tonic effect upon the skin,
hence the failures.
The Misses Bells Complexion Tonic

walker People Bound to Preserve
Their Timber.


The people of the town of Walker. of
which Patrick Mccarthy is the leading
citizen, have once again fallen back up
on their rifles. This time it is done not
to protect themselves against the muir
derous intent of the Pillager Indians, but
it Is to preserve the beauty of the little
town, made famous by the Indian trouble
of little more than a year ago.
The majority of the people Of Wal
! ker desire to make their town a summer
resort In order to do this they must
preserve the timber which grows about
the suburbs. They have made every er-
fort during the past season to prevent
the cutting of this, and believed they
had been successful. A few nights ago,
however, a gang of lumbermen were dis
covered in the act of chopping down the
much coveted trees The Walker people
would not stand for this, and the rifles
were pulled down from the racks The
lumbermen were informed that If they
continued in the work they would be do
ing it at their peril. The lumbermen
therefore withdrew.
The Walker people claim that they
secured from T. B. Walker, of Mime
apolis, a promise that he would sell to
them the timber in question, and that
Mr.. Walker has not kept faith with them
Representatives of Walker visited Min
neapoIis yesterday and consulted with
Mr.. Walker, in an effort to adjust the
difficulties.

She says her presence there is well
known to all her friends, and that her

Fitkin was averse to appearing as
witness, but she states positively that
she has not the slightest desire or inten>
ton of shielding Lutter, and promises

MIR. BUCKNER's VIEW.
Says Democratic Party Is in Need of
New Leaders.

CHICAGO, JAM 49, = Gen. Simon B.
Buckner, of Kentucky, who was the vice
presidential candidate on the gold Demo-
cratic ticket in 1896. was in Chicago to-
day, and said IN an interview:
''The Democratic party has no future
until The element now in control has been
wiped out, and this promises to be done
at the elections this year Expediency,
not principle, is the motto of this ele-
ment. The chief of its leaders, Mr. Bry-
an, is engaged in hunting an issue, which
he hopes will secure votes, and not pro-
mote the principles which the Democratic
party represents. His defeat this year
promises to be even more overwhelming
than in 1896, and there is every reason to
believe the conservative element of the
party will come into power. The present
leaders would commit it against expan-
sion when certain expansion was the es-
sence of Jeffersons doctrine. AS a po-
litical proposition there can be no doubt
