President Mckinley Concludes Hfs-
Visit to New Orleans.
New Orleans, May 4.-The day spent:
in New Orleans will live long in the
memory Of the president and the mem.

the United States is the old and ro-

sharp contrast with the modern as in

Southern university, where q thousand

with waving bits of colored bunting so
arranged as to make the whole Of an,
American flag, and where the presi-
dent made a brief speech, the party
passed across Canal and Rampant
streets, the boundaries Of the new city,
into the old town with its narrow
streets, its quaint galleried residences,
Its cathedrals, old Spanish buildings

now unfortunately going into pictur-
esque decay. The party then returned
to the hotel for luncheon and in the
afternoon embarked on q Mississippi
river steamboat for trip along the
| river front from Audubon Park to the
historic battlefield of Chalmette, where
the monument erected in memory OF
the defeat Of Rockingham by Gen.
Jackson commands q view Of the river.
A little further up, and on the Algiers
side of the stream, the presidential
party had a good view Of the prepara-
lions now being made for the reception
| OF the new floating drydock now in
course Of construction for the govern
ment at Sparrow's Point, Md. The
ladies of the party had remained quiet
lily at the hotel during the ceremonies
of the morning, only a few Of them
taking a very quiet ride around the
city, but they participated in the river
trip and enjoyer it. At 6 o'clock last
night the presidential train resumed
its long journey to the Pacific. ~

Prot Gustave Bischof Of the Glas-
gov university has invented a new
process for the manufacture of white
lead. His plan is the conversion Of
metallic lead into litharge. by means
OF water gas at temperature Of 800
degrees centigrade, to suboxide. SUM
cient water is then added to moisten
this suboxide, which is converted into
hydrate. This substance is then inserted
into gas-tight apparatus, and by
means OF carbonic and diluted acetic
acid manufactured into white slaad.
Under the old process white lead oc-
capied from two to three months in
its manufacture, but Prof. Bischof "a
enabled to make a purer article within
less than forty-eight hours at much
cheaper price and with perfect safety

President Hadley Of Yale made a
striking classification of society in a
recent address on the development of
q public conscience. Humanity, he
said, is made up of two classes. Indi-
vidnals of the one participate in the
business of life for what they can get
out of it, of the other for what they
can put into it. 1t is not, however, a
paradox that those who put most into
life are also, in the largest and best
sense, those who get most out of it.

On the floor Of the board Of trade it
was a day Of tremendous excitement,
and the corn pit surged with frenzied
mass OF men, perspiring in shirt
sleeves, who saw. the price take an up
weird shoot. while the little man, the,

Of May corn was between "a and 55

the rushing of the price to any figure.
Phillips said jokingly that it, would
soon be 65 cents. The May corn mar
ket has now developed into "one-man
market" and the one man who is rum
n;ng it talks frankly on some subjects,
and not at all on others, SO the result
can only be guessed.
Closing Wednesday night at 491-2

quick jump to 81 10, then to 521-2, to.
So, to "a and to IS cents, recording the;
most remarkable advance in May
corn since Phillips started his bull
