NEW MERcERizING PROCESS
Improved Method in Successful OPP
Grafton in Parts of Germany.

WASHINGTON. July 20.-Frank II,
Brundage, the United States consul at
AK la Chapelle. writes to the state
department that a German chemist
and an Austrian mechanical engineer
have invented an improved mercer
izing process, and have obtained let
ters ters of patent in all countries.
Speaking of the matter in detail, Mr..
Brundage says:
"They mix copper. ammonia and cot
ton waste in a large vat In about
six hours a fluid of dark blue color
is fromed, which passes into large
filter press and then out of small
glass tubes through a mild sulphuric
acid bath. 1t is then of gelatinous
consistency. and is caught by a small
glass rod. in the hand of boy or rigl
and reeled on to a large glass spool
as it passes through the bath. The
copper and amonia. together with
other chemicals, are deposited as a
sediment and used again. AS the
threads are reeled they receive an
other bath of cold water from asiph
on. The numerous spools center on
one large spool. and are then reeled
on to another. and so on, alwaysun-
der cold water until they are chemic-
ais and acids are removed. This
stage of the process takes four hours.
The thread is then taken to a drying
room.
"a corporation has been fromed
with a paid up capital of $476.O0o,
called Vereingite Glanztoff Fabriken.
It now has in operation a factory en-
ploying 400 hands in the village of
bremen. ten miles from AK Ia Chap
ellie. and factory employ ing an
equal number of hands at Mulhausen

while visiting the factory in this dis
trict. was that the employees were
nearly all bows and girls, or unskilled
labor. At present. I am informed bv
the inventors. thew are unable to fill
all the orders. The began exporting
to the United States this year.
"The product is brilliant in color
and finish and ofconsiderable textile
strength The thread consists of ten
or twenty fibres twisted into one. but
can be made of the desired thickness.
They also make thread called horse
hair artificial silk. The machines are
small and compact. and are aperated
by ingeniouslv applied electric pow
er; each machine can be started or
stopped without interference to the
others.
"The factory is built on the back
of small stream which furnishes
water power to run the large dyna

Firemen and Engineers May

Miners DESTROYS Of Keeping
One Year Agreement
With Operators

WILKESBARRE. Pa. July 20.-It
is not unlikely that the firemen ard
engineers strike will end today and
everybody will be sent back to work
the first of the week.
The miners want to keep their one
year agreement with the operators,
but cannot do so while the engineers
and firemen are out. Forty thousand
men have been forced to lie idle, and
justice to all concerned an effort is
being made to induce the firAmen to
put over their grievances until the
end of the one-year agreement by the
miners with the operators.

CURATIVE
Properties Of Green Mountain
Renovation Are Excellent.
MADE ITS WAY ON
MERIT
Alone and It's sale In This
City Has Been Increas-
ing Day by Day.

One remarkable thing about Smiths
Green Mountain Renovator Is the TACT
thar it had never been advertised until
1893. the sales of the medicine depending
wholly upon the reputation OF its cures,
and in spite Of that fact the business has
extended to nearly every State in the
Union. Considering this fact 1t seems
truly wonderful thatIt has become so
widely known. Here in Portland the
same story may be told. 1t has only
been advertised in our paper short time
but a canvass of the druggists by one Of
our reporters, revealed unprecedented
results-a sale not to be equslled by any
proprietary medicine on the market
This certainly proves the great merit
of this preparation, and only goes to show
that medicine that will really cure VIII
become famous in spite of the fact that
It has not been generally advertised. 1t
has worked its way to the front ranks
by "mouth to mouth advertising; and
now. since the st. Adams Remedy Co.
of st. Adams, VT, own the proprietary
rights, and have brought the attention
of the public to this great medicine, the
sale has been something remarkable, and
the medicine is not only tho leader In
Portland, but in every city, town, and
hamlet in the United States. Simply
because it cures. For the blood and
humors II is uuexcelled in its effects and
1t is equally valuable for catarrhal aud
rheumatic complaints. In word, for oil
the numerous diseases arising from i'm
pure blood, the medicine has no superior,
and as its properties become further
known, Smiths Green Mountain Reno
votor will not only get the credit as the
biggest seller in the country, but better
still, the only medicine that honestly
