ingenious Yankee a few years ago that if the
product of the blast furnace could be converted
into steel before it had cooled sensibIy a great
economy in fuel would be secured.
The new bridge just mentioned has been built
for the Carnegie company, and will be used to
convey molten iron from the Carrie furnaces to
the Homestead steel works. nearly a mile off.
At the present time Homestead obtains molten
metal from Duquesne, about four and half
miles away! The new route has been laid out

hot metar' bridge across the Monongahela,
controlled by the Carnegie company, and be-
sides the new one about to be opened a third is
in process of erection for the Jones & McLaugh-
lin interest 1t will thus be perceived that the
practice has proved successful that it is be-
ing rapidly extended.
One gets a vivid idea of this remarkable pro-
cedure when he reads about the precautions
taken in the construction of the new bridge to
prevent harm in case any of the melted metal
leaks or slops over while in transit from the
iron furnace to the steel works. The spaces be-
tween the ties are to be filled with sand, SO that
no iron may fall TO the decks of passing steam
els. The ties will be of wood. but are to be pro-
tected by a covering Of sand. on either side of
the track there will be raised a screen of heavy
metal plates, faced with fire brick and reaching
plates viii bring the screen up six feet further.
The cars are ladle shaped and the molten metal
runs directly into them when the furnaces are

the Government is confronted without resorting
to extreme measures. But if he is compelled to
stern measures in order to defend the
Government against the land war with which it
is threatened by the NatiOnalists and by the
Ulster followers Of T. w. Russell he has ready
to hand n permanent Crimes act to take the
place of the ordinary law. if the latter should
prove too weak too slow. In the past one
of the great difficulties Of the English Govern

been that when it broke out no special meas

Parliament had passed a new Crimes act That
took time and before the new act was ready
for use the agitation had grown formidable.

by any such difficulties He has an act ready

He should therefore, be more closely in sym

War Department during the recent conflict in
South Africa encourage the hope that he may

THE HoNoRs OF THE BoER WAR.

From The London Chronicle
The compiler Of curious facts. when he comes
to deal with the BOer war; will need to devote
special chapter to the pardOnable rivalry for
first honors Of the campaign. The most dra-
matte feat of the war, perhaps was the hoist
ing of the Union Jack over Pretoria, and 1t is
interesting to note that this done by man
who is often described as the richest man in
England-the Duke Of Westminster. 1t is the
first notable thing the young duke has done
since his accession, and he well deserved his
reward-a cigar handed to him by Lord Rob

HAULED FOR MILES FOR IMMEDIATE CONVEX
SION INTO STEEL

The construction of new bridge across the
Monongahela, to be opened for service within
the next few days, directs attention afresh to
striking feature of modern metallurgy. The
usual way to make steel is to melt up cold pig
iron, to which other materials are added and
then purify the mixture by burning out certain
undesirable elements. Pig iron however, is itself
the product of a previous heating process, in
which the ore is melted up with carbonate of

ANOTHER MURDER.
Eureka Springs Growing Famous
 for Killing Scrapes.

Eureka Springs is again to the front with Wild West killing ,scrape that adds little to the credit of the city.
 During the night of July 3rd, a young man by the name of Martin Phillips of Golden, Mo-, was most viciously murdered at a dance in the assembly ground near the auditorium. There is a little old shack called a dance hall there, which is the resort of the questionable characters of the town on such occasions as the Fourth of July, and it was in this hole that Phillips was stabbed to death, and his brother seriously wounded.
 The deed is credited to Gil Bet ten, a notorious tough, while Ora Nichols, Vigil Wagoner and Fred Christie, three of Betten's ilk, were all held as accessories to the crime. The quartette were all held without bail by the coro- ner's jury, and were landed in the Berryville makeshift of a jail Thursday, from which place, we have no doubt, they will make good their escape long before court sets.
 As long as the city government of Eureka Springs permits the congregating of such crowds as was gathered at that dance, so long may she expect to have such results.
 It was stated that the service of neither a policeman nor a doc- tor could be procured on the ground for several hours after the killing took place. Neither felt safe in mixing with the crowd, so the dance went merrily on while the life of the dying man ebbed away, and the parties who committed the deed were given sufficient opportunity to escape.

FOUNDED BY A FOUNDING.
Large Business Enterprise of Lon-
don Which Had n Very Ro-
mantle Origin.

Very curious and romantic are the
circumstances under which certain
fourishing city enterprises have been
founded. For instance, says the Lon
don NJ. A. p, there stands in the heart
of Cheapside a noble pile of buildings,
occupied by firm whose name is a
household word throughout the king
dom. The founder of that business was
mysteriously dropped on the doorstep
of city church and sent by the au-
thorities to the Founding hospital,
where he was named after the church
in question. He was afterward intrust-
ed to a respectable woman. who un-
dertook to bring him up with her own
family.
Soon after this inquiries were made
at the Founding hospital about the boy
by young and beautiful lady, whose
name and rank-she was evidently Of
aristocratic origin-remained shroud.
ed in mystery. A solicitor was ulti-
mately instructed to pay the boys fos-
ter-mother a certain sum monthly.
This continued until he arrived at the
age of about IA, when he was taken
away, put to good school and finally
started in life. Plucky and pushing,
he developed his business until ii be-
came one of the finest of its class in
the city. He died wealthy man. with
out having penetrated the mystery Of
his birth.

FINLAND'S STAMPS VANISH.
Amusing Method to which the Stub
born Films Have Resorted TO
Keep Them Current.

Finland is no longer a member of the
international postal union, as by an
imperial Russian ukase the Finnish
postage stamp is withdrawn from use,
and the Russian postage stamp substi-
tuted. While the Finnish postage
stamp until a few weeks ago had no
value in the eyes of stamp collectors,
it has now at one jump reached to
the head of the list, and will probably
be the most valuable in the stamp coll
lector's albums. The Firms are of
course furious against Russia for this
additional demonstration of the Bear
to bot their country off the map of
the world.
But the Firms are by nature a stub
born people, and the method they
adopted to still compel the Russian au-
thorities to forward letters with the
Finnish postage stamp is amusing.
Their correspondence they inclosed in
an ordinary envelope, on which they
placed the Finnish postage stamp in
the usual corner. This envelope was
then inc.osed in a thin transparent
envelope, plainly showing the Finnish
stamp. The outside envelope was then
properly addressed and provided with
Russian postage stamp placed by the
side of the Finnish. So far no notice
has been taken by the Russian govern.
ment OF this amusing method.

AN ARMED IRlCE.

In Mindanao, says letter from Ma
nilla, from very high authority" there
is an armed truce between the Ameri-
cans and the Filipinos until after the
election. If Bryan is elected, the Fill
ipinos expect the Americans to be
withdrawn the next day, while If he is
defeated, they will surrender at once"
A Manila dispatch of Oct. notes the
constant communication between the
United States and the Filipino leaders
so that the latter received with great
enthusiasm the news of the reception
given to Mr.. Bryan by Tammany in
New York city. Evidence to this eff
feet multiplies constantly and in all
directions, and it all means that Bry-
anism is death to our soldiers in the
Philippines, and that every Bryan vote
is a vote to keep that trouble going
and worse.

PENSIONS FOR TEA TAsrERs.
Movement on Foot for the Benefit of
Useful Glass of Men-A
Novel Proposition.

The very novel proposition is being
made that the government put super
animated tea buyers on the pension
list, says London correspondent. 1t
is well known that tea is the chief
beverage of all classes in the United
Kingdom and the fact that the Eng
lish people get the best tea in the
world is largely due to care exercise d
by the buyers or "tasters," as they
are sometimes called, Their health
is often ruined by their occupation,
as the tea acts as a drug that in the
course of few. years ruins their
nervous system and they become
hopeless mental and physical wrecks.
The proposition has been made that
the dealers who employ the men pay
the pensions, but they are not dis
ask the government to step in. This
may be done, although there is u
general feeling that the people gem
orally should not be taxed for such a
purpose.
Some of the more liberal of the tea
merchants, however. have engaged to
care for their old and faithful buyers.
One firm claims to have 1000 pension
ers on it's list: another has about 2GO.
These are exceptions to the rule. as
the majority of firms turn their tast-
ers off as soon as the days of their
usefulness are over. One of the firms
interested suggests the formation Of
benefit society composed altogether
of tea tasters, but this meets with lit
tie favor as the men themselves usual
ly spend all their salaries as they go
along and could not pay the dues that
would be required The life of the
tea faster at best is not an enviable
one and there is general feeling that
something should be done for their
maintenance after they have become
incapacitated for work by the mar
cotic they test for the benefit of the
public.

HOYT'S"A HOLE IN THE GROUND
TONIGHT.

Hoyt's merriest farce, "A Hole in
the Ground" with the strongest and
best cast ever seen in a Hoyt comedy,
including Charles Cowles. Nettie De-
oursey, Barry Maxwell, Frank Young,
the transatlantic Comedy Four, In
dia Palmer, Young & Devote, Anna
Clay, Dorothy Alden and twenty other
prominent artists will be seen at the
Auditorium tonight.
Mr.. Hoyt conceived the idea of this
clever satire at a small railway station
in Vermont where he missed a train
connection because of washout on a
branch line. The characters in the
play are counterparts of the originals
with whom he came in contact during
his enforced stay at the station. Pos
slbly the best character in the play is
that of the Stranger" an eccentric in.
dlvfdual whose anomalistic tendencies
are excepted to by an overly officious
station agent, typical baggage
"smasher', a tramp base ball umpire
pert lunch counter girl, a number oi
commercial travellers and the usua
mixed asemblage found at places o.
this kind.
The methods employed by this mul
titude to pass the time are as humor
Gus as they are unique, and it is saf'
to assume that Mr.. Hoyt's ability a
satirizing is as distinctly apparent ii
his Hole in the Ground" as in any o
his other successes, consequently 1t i

INNES AND HIS BAND
THIS AFTERNOON.

Innes will be here with his band this
has made quite a remarkable career.
Apart from his recognized genius as a
director, Innes is a most interesting
person. He blew himself into fame
with his trombone and just when he
had attained an easy position as a
soloist he quit the business and started
anew in his present field. Within a
few years his band became quite as
much of a sensation as his solo play
ing used to be. Innes Is a creative
genius in any field. He is forever do
ing something new. This band of his
occupies distinctive place Of its own
in it's particular sphere, having the
capabilities of the orchestra, through
its strange Instrumentation, while still
retaining the brilliancy and martial
spirit of the ordinary concert band.
When on the platform directing his
band, Innes looks thoroughly like a
musician. When off Of the platform
he looks like anything else He will,
off-hand, score an Overture. write a
good magazine article or make a rat
tling good after-dinner speech. Those
are fortunate faculties and are proba-
bly, due to the fact that during his ear
ly struggles Innes had to be his own
business manager DreSS agent Orpani-
zer and band director, all rolled into
one. Seats on sale at Gates's Book
