Suicide at Clarksvllla.

Mercer w. Quarles, senior mem
Der of the jewelry firm Of Quarles
Bros, of Clarksville, committed
suicide by shooting himself in the
mouth with 32-calibre pistol al
9 o'clock Tuesday morning. The
only known reason for the rash act
was excessive mental depression,
due to overwork and physical suf-
ferlng. He appeared at business
as usual Tuesday morning, and nc
one about him suspecting that be
contemplated self-destruction AT
g o'clock he walked down into the
basement of the store, removed his
coat, took from his pocket the pis-
tol, and placing the muzzle in his
mouth, fired the fatal shot. Fiji
teen minutes later he was found by
his brother, Duncan Quarles, and
one of the clerks dead in a pool Of
his own blood.
The whole community is pro.
foundry shocked by the occurrence,
as there we're few more popular or
better liked men there than was
Mercer Quarles.

How salt is Mad 3.

The process of making salt is q
very simple one. There are three
varieties of the same general
method. In the ''grainer" pro
cess the brine pumped from the
wells flows into huge settlers OF
tanks, where impurities sink to the
bottom and are drawn of. The
fluid next passes into long, shall
low wooden watts called grainers.
In each Of these grainers are sew
eral coils of steam pipe connected
with great boilers of sufficient
capacity to keep the brine at or
near the boiling point. Eva
poration does the rest. The water
rises in vapor and the crystalIized
salt drops to the bottom Of the
vat, whence once a dry or once in
two days, it is lifted out upon the
drip boards by workmen armed
with steel shoyels with perforated
bottoms. After drying for a short
time the salt is shoveled into push
carts and wheeled to the store
house, where ii must lie for at
least two weeks before shipment,
drying out. In the pan system Of
evaporation, huge, shallow steel
pan or basin receives the brine,
which is heated by a furnace fire
directly under the pan. The vac
uum pan process is the most ela-
horate Of all. II is based on the
scientific fact that water in vac
uum bolts at a much lower tenn
perature than in air. The evap0ra
ting pan, or, more properly, tank,
is enclosed and a vacuum is crea-
ted by pneumatic pumps. A great
saving IN fuel is claimed for this
process. which, however, is at

products pass through a series OF

Conduct of schlev.

Washington, December 17.-Rep.
resentative Wheeler, of Kentucky,
has introduced a resolution to in
vestigate the conduct of Rear Ad-
miral Schley from the time he took
command of the flying squadron up
to and including the destruction of
the Spanish fleet, July 3, 1898. 1t
recites the action of the Court of
Inquiry and declares the American
people desire an investigation by
citizens not connected with the
Navy Department.
Representative Mudd, OF Mary
land, also introduced a resolution
relative to Admiral Schley, as fol-
lows:
Resolved, that the thanks of
Congress and OF the American peo-
pie are hereby rendered to Rear
Admiral Winfield Scott Schley and
the officers and. men under his COM
mand for their victory over the
Spanish forces and the destruction
of the Spanish fleet in the naval
battle off Santiago De Cuba, July 3,
1898"
Mr.. Mudd says the resolution is
not the result of any concerted ac-
ton by the MARYLAND delegation,
but represents his individual views.
Worms take refuge in the small in
testine, where they can easily multi
