HOW TO CARE FOR UMBRELLAS
Hints From n Manufacturer which May
Prolong Their Usefulness.

Manufacturers and jobbers of UNI
brellas say that there were more UNI
brellas sold during the past year than
for the past five years. Especially is
this true in Baltimore OF the finer
grades Of goods, for which the de-
mand has been unusually great Re
tailers did remarkably large holiday
trade. and, of course. the manufactur-
ers and jobbers profited by it. While
Baltimore does not rank high as
manufacturing center for umbrellas
in point OF numbers. its reputation
depends on the fine quality OF goods
made up in this city. II is estimated
that over 500 hands are steadily en-
gagged in the manufacture OF umbrel-
las in Baltimore, and that an average
of 5000 complete umbrellas are turned
out every week During some seasons
the figures are greater or less, but that
Is the average production. Like many
other articles of manufacture, the max
ing OF umbrellas has been reduced to
the asseE Bling of the parts and turn
ing oat the complete shelter from the
rain. One firm makes the steel tubing
which nowadays forms the stick" of
the umbrellas, another turns out the
ribs, another the various fancy han
dies, and so on through the list. Silks
and other materials for the covers are
cut and sewed in the factory, where
the other parts are brought by the
thousand and put together. To such
a degree Of perfection has the machin-
cry been brought for making the vari-
GUS parts of an umbrella that 1t is
said that 1t is actually cheaper to make
new umbrella than to repair an old
one. That is to say, that in the time
taken by a workman to repair an UNI
brella he can turn out probably half
dozen new ones complete. Recent
sales show that while Baltlmoreans
prefer the better qualities Of silk COW
ering for umbrellas, they favor natural
wood handles or those tipped with
pearl for ladies' umbrellas. For men
the demand is for the combinations in
ivory handles, next to the natural wood
sticks and the silver mounted wood
handles. A manufacturer gives three
points about the care of umbrellas
which will tend to their lasting longer
while in service. In the first place an
umbrella should not be tightly rolled
and then put in a close cover unless
it Is desired to have the silk cut to
pieces in every fold. Even when lying
in stock it is said that tightly rolled
umbrellas will cut out in a few weeks.
The other precaution is to open an UNI
brella when it has been wet and let it
dry while spead open. This will pre-
vent the water gathering in the folds
and rottlng the fabric which forms the
coyering.-Baltimor Sun.

RAILS ARE MADE TOO HASTILY
They Cannot Withstand the Wear of
Present-Day Heavy Traffic.

high authority on railroading says
that with locomotives Weighing 140
tons and upward and freight cars of
100000 pounds capacity and a steadily
increasing speed the time is fast ap-
preaching when all the old rails will
have to be taken up and heavier rails
laid. For some reason the steel rails
made now are not as durable as those
made twenty years ago One reason is
that the blast furnace iron. instead of
being cooked and run into pigs, is run
fluid from the furnace to the mixer.
thence to the converter, where it is cast
into ingots. Eleven passes through
the rolls turn an ingot into a bloom.
and the bloom, before it has a chance
to know it, is tossed into a heating
furnace and turned into a rail, with
only nine passes through a train of
rolls running at terrific speed of 800
feet a minute. The rail is, It is said.
finished too hot and too quickly by the
last passes through the rolls being
made with the rail at temperature of
1000 to 1900 degrees. while twenty
years ago it was not hotter than l 400
to 1,600 degrees. This lower tempera-
ture allowed the steel to take a GER
tain set" and it was, therefore.
stronger.

WORLD'SRICHESTMAN
IE LIVES IN LONDON AND

dis Name Is Alfred Belt and He Is
Said to lie BiIiionsire-A Partner

chiIdA-

The richest man in the world is
without doubt LoadoneF who spends
mostly all his time in South Africa.
and who is almost unknown in Eng
land. 1t is said that he is the only
living Millionaire. and his power IS felt
all over South Africa and the far east.
This man. Alfred Belt by name. is only
10 years old. In appearance he is
plain. almost shabby. and no one, un-
acquainted with him. would think him
possessed Of millions More than any
'ther man except Rhodes he Is respon-
sibIe for the present war with the
Beers. AS young man Belt was sent
from Johannesburg to the diamond
mines at Kimberley. He was only p.
but he had skill enough to see that with
proper management the mines were
only at the beginning OF their life. He
had a rich father in his German home,
who backed him with abundant funds.
and young Belt began buying with
marvellous results. He was soon joined
by another man whose name is now
in the mouths Of aIl-Cecll Rhodes.
Rhodes was backed by the Rothschilds,
Belt by his father, and together the
two succeeded in forming the great
diamond trust, which, under the name
of De Beers, now controls practically
the whole output OF the most precious
stones in the world. At the De Beers
mines in Kimberley Messrs. Belt and
Rhodes do things on big scale Nine

A FAIR YOUNG ORATOR.

Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Lease, the

ing H-year-old daughter, Evelyn
Louise, who bids fair to rival her
mother in the gift of oratory. Miss
Evelyn is now studying law in New
York, where her mother has taken up
a residence, with a view to politico-
legal career. She is the youngest wom-
an lecturer in the United States. She
made her debut as a public speaker at
a meeting of the Peoples party in ST.
Louis eight years ago, beginning with
child's recitation and launching into
a woman suffrage speech. Miss Lease
has sweet, but powerful, voice, per-
sonal magnetism and a fine presence.

AVOIDED A WAR.
How Mrs- Monroe saved Lafayette's
Wife From the GuiIlotine.

How many people know that Nine.
Lafayette, wife OF the great Trench
general. who was the friend of the
United States was saved from the gull
lotine by the wife of the author of the
Monroe Doctrine? An old chronicle
gives this<account of the accident:
When Mr.. Monroe was minister from
the United States TO Paris. and when
Gen. LafayS,te was confined in the
prison at olinutz by the emperor OF
Austria, word was brought to the min
lister that Nine Lafayette had been
thrown into prison. and that she would
be guillotined in a few days. Her
mother and grandmother had died by
the guillotine. Paris was in the hands
of the mob, and Mr.. Monroe alone
could save her. and could save her
only by appealing to and arousing the
sympathies OF the people. The de-
struction of life had been so great in
every state OF society where opulence
was perceptible that. in order to avoid
certain death. all luxuries and splendor
had been laid aside by the wealthy,
who. instead of riding in their splendid
carriages, either went on foot or rode
in the miserable hired cabs of Paris.
II therefore, created a great sensation
when the splendid equipage of the
American minister appeared at the
gate of the prison and Mrs. Monroe
told the keeper that she had come to
see the wife OF Gen. Lafayette. The
news spread in all directions, and be-
fore Mrs. Monroe drove away from the
prison thousands Of people had gath
cred about her carriage. and" says
the old chronicler. the feelings elic-
tied by the feelings OF two such females
in such situation arrested the ak OF
the executioner, and eventually set the
captive free" The feelings of Col.
Monroe during the absence of his wife
cannot be realized 1t may be asked.
Why did he not accompany her? 1t
would not have been polite for him to
do so-might indeed, have thwarted
the accomplishment of the purpose in
view. When Mrs. Monroe met Nine.
Lafayette the poor Frenchwoman was
'in state of perfect frenzy, supposing
that she was about to be led out to ex-
ecution. When she found herself en-
braced by the lady of the American
minister within the walls of the
gloomy prison from which, only few
days before, her mother and grand
mother had been led forth to execution,
it was a long time before she could
realize her Situation Mrs. Monroe
not only assured her that she should
be saved. but said that Mr. Monroe
had determined to risk all, If neces-
sary, to accomplish her deliverance."
The plain inference is that the execu-
ton of Nine. Lafayette would have
provoked a war between France and
the United States

An Announcement which Had Eject.

This Street Moves Twice Every Year,

South street, Philadelphia, is one of
The strangest in the world. This is
due to legislation by the ancient Qua
ters, who managed the affairs of the
hty when South street was one of the
most important in Philadelphia. Laws
were then enacted that sidewalk ven
aers. stall-keepers, wagons containing
produce and open air dealers could
Dnly use one side of the street for such
purposes six months in the year. Thus.
from April to September. the south
side of the street is well nigh impass-
able. while the other six months it is

CARNEGIE'S VIEWS
On the Relations of the United States
and China.

London. Aug. 1O.-Andrew Carnegie
sends to the Associated Press the follow
ing statement regarding the situation in
the far east and the relation of the Unit
ed States to the future development there:
''The refusal of the United States to
participate in the attack on the Taku
the natural mediator between China and
the European powers, but Americas po-
sition may be easily forfeited by agreeing
to join the action. The release of Min
lister Conger and demand for compensa-
ton for injuries incurred are duties in
cumbent upon the government, but the
United States, in my opinion. should take
powers. I take this view because each
of those powers has separate interests
at heart.
"Great Britain is going to land troops
to protect Shanghai because she looks
upon the Yang Use valley as her special
property. Russia keeps her chief forces
In Manchuria- France in another region,
and Germany in a fourth. The first aim
of these powers is to safeguard their re-
spects domains and if the United States
should be drawn into joint action with
them the Washington government may
even find itself pledged to go forward into
a campaign against China, which would
be hopeless, or may ultimately see the
powers at war with each other. To enter
upon a contest with 400, ,000, 900 Cinnamon
might prove as disastrous to the United
States as a war against a omb1nat1on OF
European powers
'sOur policy is clear. European nations
attack China and quarrel about the divi-
sion of Chinese territory. We remain
friendly and await events We have quite
enough foreign territory already
The Topeka state journal., 1900-08-11
PLOT AGAINST BOBS.
It is the Talk of London Town to Ex
clusion of Chinese Matters.

New York Aug. ia dispatch to the
Tribune from London says:
For the moment the Chinese question
is eclipsed in public interest by the re-
port of the Pretoria conspiracy to mur-
der the British officers, and to kidnap
Lord Roberts. This is the talk of the
port is not doubted, though some eau
turn out to be a much smaller affair
than it seems at first sight.
The revelations will. at any rate,
strengthen the hands of those who have
been loudly explaining for weeks past
that Lord Roberts has been absurdly
moderate in his methods, and that there
must be an end of misplaced leniency
which has only encouraged the Beers
to prolong their resistance after all
chance of successfully opposing the
British advance in the field is at an
end. They are in favor of treating the
Beers now in arms as mere banditti,
instead of soldiers, and they argue that
the pacification of the country will be
indefinitely postponed unless drastic
examples are promptly made. They say
that snipers, train Wreckers and burghers
found in arms after taking the oath of
allegiance should be promptly shot and
their property confiscated.
The fact is, EngliShmen are beginning
to lose their temper over the irritating
delay of the Boer wal, and Lord Roberts,
if his own prudence and sense of JUS
tice would permit, might adopt a rigor-
Gus policy of repression without being
condemned by public opinion at home.
