Tricks in the silk Trade.

FROM the New 1Orh sun.
Pure silk. when 1t has been through all
the processes necessary to bring out all its
good qualities, is worth it's weight in silver,
said an expert the other day. Therefore
the women who expect to buy pure silk at
little more than the price of cotton must
expect to be fooled; and there are lots of
ways by which the manufacturer gets even
with them.
passes for 1t with credulOus persons who
don't know any better out of nearly any
old thing now. One faVorite imitation silk
is made of celluloSe treated with chemicals
1t isn't a good material to get on fire in
Then there are South Sea Island cottOns
and some mercerized cotton which, after
treatment, look something like silk, though
or course. they wear very differently and
their silken appearance soon vanishes
But 1t is in adultering goods which really
have some silk in them that the greatest
skill Is exercised to deceive the buyer. TIC
obtain the required rustic and body rough
floss Is often used for the wool of the ma
teriai. This soon causes 1t to wear shiny
Another trick Is to increase the weight
and apparent solidity of a f1imsy silk ma
terial by using metallic salts In the dye
watts. Pressing, with some kinds Of silk, In
creases the weight also. but at the sacri-
nee of strength. Cheap, crackly, stiff silk
which has heavy cords is good silk to
avoid. 1t won't wear.
There are several tests which reveal
readily the purity of a piece Of silk. The
microscope, of course, will show it at once
even to an Impractical eye. Pure silk has
the appearance of fine smooth tubes. An
other good test is by burning. Pure silk
burns slowly. with a slight odor; cotton
flares up quickly and would throw off a
decidedly disagreeable smell
Then the tongue will readily reveal the
presence OF metallic salts. There is nc
mistaking their taste. But all these NAV
be disregarded, said the expert, when silk
Is offered for the price Of cotton. You need
not bother to test that stuff.

several at one time and another during the
disabilities of their chiefs, have rarely been
equaled. His administration was ono OF
the best and most prosperous the country
his high Intellectual powers and for the
signal capacity with which he handled sf-
fairs has deepened with passing years"
Landed by Senator's.
Senator Beveridge of Indiana said:
THE death of this extraordinary man is
a national loss. His last years were the
most distinguished and influential of his
brilliant career. The power of his defense
of the nations financial honor In 1895 was
terested and unselfish. His administration,
though unmarked by any great landmark
of worldwide and historical concern, was
a MODEL of that wise, cautious, conServa-
tive and firm conduct of government upon
which, after ALL the ordinary and continu-
Gus happiness of the people depend. The
dominant note Of his life and character
was conservatism. He liked to walk the
paths which the feet of his young man
hood had trod. He met new views with
suspicion, and new departures with chal-
lenge. But those who differed from him
We're the most earnest admirers of the
immense ability with which he justified his
opinions and more than any one else re-
spected the fervent sincerity that inspired
the m. He was as fearless as courageous, as
able as he was brave and pure as the ideal
felicitious public speaker in America; and;
indeed, / doubt not that he was the first
orator of the entire world at the present
time. With all his vast powers of intel
lect and character he did not appeal to
the affections of the masses, even when
he aroused their highest admiration and
confidence. His mind and effort he gave
to his fellow citizens; but his love he re-
served for his hearts elect"
Senator Platt of Connecticut was long as
ISOLATED with Mr.. Harrison in the Senate,
and there their close acquaintance contin-
ued when the Indianian became President.
Mr.. Plat said:
Il served with President Harrison when
he was chairman of the committee on ter
r1tories of the Senate, where my acquaiat-
ance with him first became intimate
learned to have the very highest regard
for his ability and his patriotism. He was
a strong man in every field of legislative
activity, strong debater, strong in the
arrayal of argument and fact to enforce
his views, strong in the persuasive pre.;en-
tation of subject. He was one of our
greatest and noblest Presidents"
Senator Cullom of Illinois said: Gen.
Harrison served in the Senate with me-
and knew him well. He made a good rec
ord in the Senate, although he had but one
term He was an able lawyer and was a
great President
A Devoted Officer.
Adjt. Gen. Corbin said:
ut was my good fortune to have my
first service as a soldier with Gen. Harri-
son. He was one Of the most conscien-
tious soldiers I have ever known. He was
singularly devoted to his men, and had he
not been so amply interested in the welfare
of his regiment, the 10th Indiana Volun-
teers, his promotion would have been more
rapid. He was without doubt one of the
best specimens of the American soldier,
illustrating fully that the better the SOL
der the better the citizen

For some years 1t was doubted whether
the Romans had such institutions but a
large tablet which was discovered near

such institutions, but that they We're ac-
tUally endowed. One of the earliest hos
pitfalls on record was probably that found

years $40 and $50, A D.

time-honored traditions of that office; as O.
citizen he was respected for his ability,
courage, keen sense of justice and noble,
Christian life. All of his undertakings We're
characterized by earneStness of purpose
and reverent regard for principle He met
every responsibility with firm determine
ton, and performed every duty consci4n-
tiouSly. He relied upon his own strength
and his own conception of right in the dis
charge of his obligations to the state to
the nation and mankind, thereby marking
his career with conspicuous individuality
The greater part of his life was given to
public service, and in every service ne WIS
called to fill he gave abundant proof of his
ability and integrity.
In the death of General Harrison every
citizen of Indiana will readily realize that
the state has lost it's most DISTINGUISHED
cftizen-one who has left the impress of
his SURPRISING genius upon the pages Ct
history, and whose name will forever be
associated with the foremost statesmen and
patriots of the eventfui age in which he
lived.
Therefore, a mark of respect to the
man whose worlds work is done direct
that all public business be SUSPENDED on the
DAY the mortal remains Of Gen. Harrison
are lying in state; that the flags of ali
customary period of mourning and that
| such other honors be paid the distin
guished dead as beft the occasion.

mind of General Harrison. To his friends
he had often spoken of the pity and shame,
as he viewed it, that the brave and sturdy
farmers Of South Africa should be robbed
of their country, of all they have in the
world, and forced to submit to terrible
niseries in resisting the expressions of a
xorid-power.
General Harrison. itsis stated, would
have liked nothing bette& than to come out
frankly ana strongly am say to every one
who would hear what Ne thought Of Eng
lands cruelty; 1t was~jn his mind con-
stantly, but he believed that an ex-Presi-
dent should observe the same proprieties
of speech which are observed by a Presf-
dent of the United States. He was at all
times careful to say nothing which could
be misconstrued OF twisted into seeming
disregard for the dianitsaof the high office
which he once held.*
In his semi Condition, when the
sentinels of discretion and propriety had
gone from their posts and the mind or
the man was wandering. he began to speak
OF the Beers and their hopeless struggle
for national life. His voice was weak ana
trembling, his thoughts were not con-
nected; but the listeners bending over
him, could hear words of pity for the dying
farmer republics. !
GOV. DURRIN's PROCLAMATION. p.
Omc1al Announcer Made TO the
People of Indiana
Governor Durbin of Indiana last night
issued, the following proclamation on the
death of General Harrison:
To the People of Indiana: Gen. Benjamin

his home in Indianapolis at 4:45 o'clock on
Wednesday afternoon, March ID, 1901. He
met the final and inevitable summons as lie
had met every emergency in his eventful
life with rare courage and with unfalter-

AS a lawyer he received generous recog-
milton one in the forefront of his profess

in the Sanitarium Matter.

Washington. d. c.. Nov. 2l.-Sec-
retary Hitchcock had the charges
against Governor jenkins under con
sideration for more than an hour to-
day and later discussed the matter
with the president after the cabinet
meeting. The investigation of the
charges against the governor has con
vinced the secretary that Governor
jenkins had acted in good faith and
with absolute honesty in the sanitar-
ium matter and the department will
acquit the governor Of the charges OF
dishonesty. The investigation disclos-
ed the matter TO be just as Governor
Jenkins alleged.
Notwithstanding charges TO the
contrary, those hands are clean. abso-
lutely spotless, so far as the admins
