Their Task Made Both Men Blind

From the Columbus Evening Despatch.
peculiar accident occurred at Middle
port the other day and the full effects of it
have just dawned upon the injured parties.
The big iron safe in the Middleport shoe
factory refused to open, and the book
keeper, Louis Jaquith and Engineer Wal
ter H Rice, conceived the idea that they
could burn out the combination by use Of
carbon and electric wire. 1t took several
hours to accomplish their purpose, but they
finally succeeded, but not until they had
stood for several hours in the glare CT the
electric light. taking turns at holding the
wire and carbon. When the work was over
both complained of dizziness and pain in
the head which increased as the hours
passed. and in a short time both went sud-
denly blind at about the same time.
AL efforts to restore their sight have been
uravailing, for while the eyeballs appear
all right the sight is destroyed.

ports, because of the additional
freights. The factories of the trust are
at Pittsburgh. but Pittsburgh buyers
must pay IA cents a box more than
those of Boston, because foreign glass
is that much cheaper in Boston.
It is said that the United States is
divided by this glass trust into six diff
ferent districts, in each of which a Diff
ferent scale of prices exists, accord
ing to the cost of laying down imported
glass.
The consumption of window glass in
this country amounts to about 5,OOO,-
600 boxes yearly, and all but about IL
per cent. of this is supplied by the
American factories. The trust has free
natural gas at Pittsburgh, and other ia
cilities for cheap production that are
unrivaied abroad. and yet it is exacting
from American consumers twice the
price that is chargeSs' for the same
class of goods mace in foreign factories
You cannot look out of the window
without indirectly paying tribute to a
trust.
1t is the same with plate glass as
with common glass. There is a trust
in plate glass also. 1t is known as
the Pittsburgh Plate Glass company,
| with capital stock of $4,000, 600.
1t controls two-thirds of the plate
glass production of the United States
and has IAN understanding with the
factories outside the trust. This

of robbing the American consumer

There are numDer OF the trusts

met last September and arbitrarily
raised prices from ten to fifteen per

But few of the people realize how out

the thousands of trusts that have fas-
tened upon all the great manufacturing
industries of the country. The public
have but a faint idea of the extortion
practiced by the trusts. of their sitting
of competition, their determinations
IN favor of foreign buyers, their enslav-
ing of labor and their dangerous grip
upon state governments as we'll as upon
congress and the executive.
One of the questions to be decided
in November is this: SHALL THE
GOVERNMENT CONTROL THE
TRUSTS. OR THE TRUSTS CONTROL
THE GOVERNMENT?
In former articles the Bee has pre-
scented many facts and figures, not one
of which has been questioned or denied
by anybody, regarding the operation
of the great trusts controlling the man.
ufacture and sale of barb wire, steel
nails, tin plate, kerosene and other
commodities. And the stated increase
of prices, which in a number of in
stances was more than 100 per cent.
due to the operations of these trusts,
we have since corroborated by official
ficures from a recent report of the de-
partment of labor at Washington. We
have also shown that the trusts are
strengthened in their grip on the
American market by excessively high
duties. which go far beyond any reason
abe requirement of protection to
home industries. It is largely because
of their aid for MISUNDERSTANDING
republicanism in tariff legislation that
the trusts have sprung into existence,
and that they hope to perpetuate their
grasp upon the industries of the ma
ton.
One of the trusts, to which we new
direct attention, is the American Win
dow Glass company, with a capital
stock of SIT 200. 600. It was organized
in October, 1899. 1t owns plants. rep
resenting about four-fifths of the total
producing capacity of the window
glass factories of the United States.
Before it began operations its trust
predecessor in the glass industry had
put up prices to extortionate figures,
which the present trust maintains.
These prices are about double what
they were four years ago. Although

TRUSTS ARE sRoBBIHG.
Insure the Election OF
Bryan.

One of the most vital issues OF the
present campaign is that of the trusts.
It is an issue because there is abso-
lutely no effectual remedies from the
republican party under its present lead
ership- If there is any one thing more
than another in which the present adj
nlnlstration has been conspicuous
failure it is in regard TO the trust evil.
And the republican control of con-
gress, in both branches. has been. and
would remain, if continued, highly ia
vorable to the trusts
This results from the decay of orig
inal republican principles and the con-
trolling influence exercised by such
men as Mark Hanna, who is openly the
friend and protector of trusts. Not
only is this true, but it is also notorious
ly the fact that the republican cam
paign fund has the trusts for it's chief
contributors. Knowing Hanna's rec
ord regarding trusts, and mindful that
these great corporations are the chief
beneficiaries of the Hanna republican
policy, as well as it's principal cham
pions, can any sensible person believe
| that there is the slightest prospect of
relief from trust oppression through
Hanna-directed legislati
On the other hand, thereis' absolute
" no question that Bryan is the earn

000, 900, the actual value Of its plant
has been estimated, by one of the or
ganizers of the corporation, as S.
100, 900.
The prices of window glass in the
United States are twice what they are
in Belgium and England, the chief for
eign producers of glass. The effect
OF the trusts control of the American
market is strongly brought out by a
trade journal, the Commoner and Glass
Worker, which in its issue of October
p, 1899. said:
From an average price of about
81 SO per box for single and two dollars
per box for double-strength in 1898.
the value of glass has quite doubled, if
not more than doubled.
'Since the existence of the American
Glass company, the greatest advance
! in price has taken place. This company
has managed its affairs without change
practically since it's formation, and has
done it so Wei as to not only control
the product, but to fix the price at the
highest possible notch.
The profits during the last three
years have been enormous. The pool
is said to have made $1,000 in 1896,

still larger profits are anticipated for

foreign glass with the duty added, or a
little less, so as to discourage foreign

HINTS FOR ECONOMISTS.
Over Various Other Dainty and
Perishable Fabrics.

Some useful hints for the furnishing
of defaced hat trimmings are given
by the Millinery Trade Review. Won
derfully good results can be obtained
by little effort in this direction. To
pieces fat on thickly covered board,
lay a wet cloth on top and pass very
hot iron over the surface, close enough
to draw the steam from the wet cloth,
but not allowing the iron to rest the
slightest bit on the Grape. Let the
Grape remain on the board few min
utes to thoroughly dry before TAX
ing up.
To steam out tulle, have, if possible,
one of the new fan-shaped attach
ments to put in the spout of kettle;
this enables one to keep far enough
off the heating flame to avoid danger
of ignition. Failing this, have large
kettle or pan of water boiling, turn
the gas low, and. taking one end of
your tulle between two hands, pass
through the steam, gently stretching
and smoothing, and rolling up as you
go. fn this way you can steam yards
and yards of tulle without letting the
steamed portion drop over, and when
done you have a roll of fresh, crisp
tulle.
Mousseline de sole and chiffon can
be done the same way, but sometimes
| it gives better results by being lightly
pressed under damp rag.
Velvet must be steamed only over
a wet cloth thrown over hot iron.
Do not brush velvet while wet.
| If velvet is very much married, and
does not steam out satisfactorily, you
| can "miroir" it by laying it fat and
smoothing the iron over it the way of
| the nap. Velveteen and plush can be
done the same. Plush gets quite the
| appearance of miroir antique or
| ''panne'' velvet.
| To clean white and gray wings,
shake gently in box of cornmeal,
| then brush and shake the meal out,
| so as not to crump1e the feathers.
| Aigrettes wash in soap lather; rinse
| and shake dry in the sun or near a hot
/ stove.
| Ribbons are steamed by passing over
wet cloth thrown over hot iron.
! To insure the steam going thoroughly
| through the crea ses, hold a wad of dry
! cloth over the ribbon, with it smooth
ing out the creases. This works much
better than brush. Use clean white
cotton cloths. Some taffeta ribbons
will not come out well by anything
but pressing, with a wet cloth over.
| If stiff, pull out on, the bias. Treat
| silks the same way.
Freshen black silk lace by sponging
| with alcohol. Cream and white silk
laces, if very dirty, can be cleansed
by shaking in benzine or naphtha
! (taking care there is no fire or light
near. After they are dry dampen
with alcohol and pin out to dry.
Cotton laces are cieansed by shaking
in lather made of ivory soap paste;
| rinsed either in plain or blue water;
or for ecru in weak tea or coffee, and
pinned out to dry. being lightly
pressed with cool iron on the wrong
side when dry.

'SSak11GlSGS|S A
MILK FOR CITY BABES.
Beautiful and LifeeImpartfng Chari-
ty Originated by a New York
Jewish Philanthropist.

Babies are apt to have hard time
of it in the summer at best, but when
they are city babies and their parents
are poor, life is harder still-so hard
that many of them die who would
have lived if they could have had the
proper food.
Some years ago rich man in New
York, Nathan Straus, got to think
ing about this, and decided that he
would do something which would save
the lives of these poor babies and the
heartaches of their poor mothers.
Nature was doing the best she could
for the babies, under the circum-
stances, but the circumstances were
hard Mr.. Straus talked to doctors
about it and found that large per-
centage of the deaths of babies in the
summer was caused by the impurities
in the cows milk which they drank.
So in one of the poorest districts of
New York, says the Little Chronicle,
he opened a free milk depot where
mothers could, on the order of ply
sician, get milk from which the i'm
purities had been removed by the
process named after its originator,
the famous French doctor, Pasteur.
Milk treated by this process. is said
to be "Pasteurized." The first year
this experiment was tried more than
a thousand sick babies were fed on
this milk and the way in which they
got well and thrived on it was amaz-
ing. There grew to be such a demand
for this milk that other places for dis
tributing it were opened up in various
parts of the city and it is expected

more of a passing fancy than a per-
manent institution. You see, the eli
mate is so changeable. It might rain
at any moment, and the child's feet
get very wet, and if in the summer
it is not wet it is usually extremely
dusty, and the dust gets through the
stockings to the feet and is very un-
comfortable, especially as dust or grit
works its way on to the sole of the
sandal, and hurts the child's foot.
The sandal may last for indoors,
though, for the modern tendency to
be more natural and sensible extends
itself to the footwear, and people are
kicking against the cramping and
corn-making of the pointed toes Of
the ordinary foot covering"
The Bombay sandals are not built
on the lines of those worn by the old
Grecians. Yet they come from the
east, where comfort in hot weather is
matter OF study. They are made
principally OF kangaroo hide, and
have a fat sole, cut to the shape Of
the ordinary rounded toe shoe sole.
