- EW persons who weild a billiard
 kT cue are aware of the time, JN trouble and expense of making ~ the ivory spheres. The billiard ball in it's natural state is the principal means of defense for an elephant. In time the elephant falls a victim to the venturesome hunter and he parts with his tusks. which are the most valuable of all his possessions to commerce. Most of the tusks find their way to London. which is the greatest sales mart for ivory
 Tn the window of one of the large man ufactories of billiard balls in this city Hes fusk about two feet long, It was purchased some years ago, and while being sawed in two the saw came in con tact with an obstruction. It proved to be rifle bullet, which had penetrated the elephants tusk when quite young. for the whole inside had a decayed appear sance
 There are different kinds of ivory, and only the finer kinds are suitable for mak- ing billiard balls. The best comes from the small tusks, which are from four to six inches in diameter at the thickest end. They are sawed into blocks. each section being large enough to allow of the turning of a single ball.
 The factories devoted to the billiard ball industry in this country usually receive the ivory in this shape, the sections being marked so that the turner's know from what part of the tusk each piece comes, and in this way can calculate as to its grain and quality. It takes a long time to produce a perfect billiard ball, and only skilled labor is employ ed.
 The exact center of the ball is first dis covered by means of measurement. The block is then placed in a socket. and one half of the ball Is turned by an instrument made of the finest and sharpest edged steel The half turned ball is then hung uy in, paf foY. xubiIa. tba,, the Saoaad

had to justify himself. He was familiar with the Conkling fight, and his political sympathies were with the New York crowd because it was in New York that he had been most considerably treated during the campaign. He instantly brought all his insane hatred into play against Garfield. and the world at large was convinced that a second President had been deliberately assassinated.
 q shall never think so doctor Charles J. Guiteau intended to kill James c. Blaine, and not James A. Garfield. He went to the railway station with that purpose in his mind. The fates decreed 1t should be otherwise"

The Mistake of MT, Guiteau,

 s4 was shortly after the assassina-
 ton of President Garfield and J while Charles J. Guiteau was - awaiting execution that Robert G. 1ngersoll meeting Dr. D. G. Rush on Pennsylvania, Washington, said to him:
 Doctor, I've got to the bottom of this Giteau business, and I think the govern ment has also. I am we'll satisfied that Guiteau never intended to kill Garfield or even to wound him. He fired at James G. Blaine and intended to kill Blaine. That Garfield got the bullet was simply one of those extraordinary happenings wherein it seems as if the fates overruled the will of man.
 Dr. Rush knew Ingersoll well and appre-

 You know as we'll as I do, doctor" he said. that during the Garfield Hancock campaign Guiteau was one of the most favored men at national headquarters. He seemed to have more pull and drag around the old Fifth Avenue Hotel than even Senators or Congressman. His im- pudence was superb. His ability to im- press those whom he met casually with the idea that the success of the campaign depended upon him was extraordinary.

London Punch made the removal of the great minister. the creator of the empire, the subject of a chrtoon which was pub lished throughout the world. It repre- scented the young monarch leaning over the side of a stately ship with Bismarck descending a ladder to small boat toss- ing on the waves below. Beneath the picture were the words: Dropping the Pilot" Were some artist to redraw the Punch cartoon, substituting President Roosevelt for Emperor William, and Sem ator Marcus A. Hanna for Bismarck it would photograph a possible situation in the Republican party which many of it's eminent leaders are regarding with the gravest apprehension.
 The Ohio Senator during the last two Presidential campaigns has been the su- perb pilot of the Republican ship, and no one more skillfui than he has ever guided 1t through the political breakers. In all these years never a blunder. never an error of judgment. never the loss of a
 
 election district, where his directions were followed. Taken all in all, it is a marvellous record of political success, and because of it there is a great army of men in public positions that otherwise might be in the oblivion of private life.

Appointment after ap- pointment was made of men to offices which Guiteau imagined had been prom ishd to him. He demanded explanations from the State Department. The clerks laughed and answered:
 " Oh we'll MT. Guiteau, there are other offices you can get. Have patience" With such a man patience ceases as soon as he is inwardly convinced that no supposed promise made him is to be kept. Guiteaus patience ended weeks before he shot Garfield I know now, and others know. too. that he hid by the great iron railings on the approach to l the State Department. apparently waiting for a favorable opportunity to confront Mir Blaine. He skulked there, concealing himself as much as possible, but by some strange chance MT. Blaine during this period never came out under circum- stances which would permit Guiteau to confront him as he wished to. I believe Guiteau was armed then and was contem- plating the mNrder of the man who he be- lieved had betrayed him.

Blaine was hold ing the Presidents arm, and his body concealed the Presidents from Guiteaus 8 eyes just as the latter fired.
 But here enters another unexplainable happening. The hundredth part of a sec- ond before Guiteau fired, Blaine and Gar field both having their faces turned from him, Blaine took half wheel step, car rying the President with him in the ac- tion The result of this was to take Blaine in the twinkling of an eye out of the range of Guiteaus pistol, and to bring Garfield in line with it. The Pres ident fell and Blaine was unharmed. It all happened so quickly that on the flush of the first horror there appeared to be no question but that Guiteau intended to kill Garfield.
 Investigation does not bear that the ory out in my judgment. All of Guiteau' 8 plans, in my opinion up to the moment Garfield fell. were to kill Blaine, the head of the State Department. and the respon- sible factor, as he believed for his fail- | ing to secure single office of the many he sought. Nothing saved Blaine but the miraculous half-wheel step.

history Throughout his long public life, as member of Congress, Governor and President, MT. Hanna was his most trust ed friend and advisor. To him the Pres
 dent turned in every situation of doubt, difficulty or perplexity, and the great common sense which stands out so clear ly and forcibly in all the acts of his ad- ministration proves the wisdom that in spired him in the choice of MT. Hanna as a counsellor. Great success in any thing is not an accident. It is the natural and certain result of carefully laid plans. consistently and zealously followed and developed That was the secret of the late Presidents achievements. It ac- counts for Marcus A. Hanna's command ing place in the world of business and of politics.
 The recent resignations from the cab met and those which are certain to fol-
 low In the near future look as if the Pres ident int ends not only ito drop the pilot, but to change the entire crew. To do so may be wise. but experiments of that character do not commend themselves to the iudicious. At the present time the Republican party is in one of the strong est positions 1t has ever held but never theless that position is not impregnable
 Presidents Roosevelt's idea is undoubted- ly to strengthen 1t on plans of his own, but, whatever they may be, they have vet to stand the test of experience. In these days majorities suddenly melt away into minorities the victor of yesterday being the vanquished tomorrow. To dis integrate a party is easy. Any vain, am bitious self-willed man who happens to be in power can do that. To build up a
 party and make it invincble is the work | of a self-sacrifcing leader and statesman, His Is no pilot-dropping policy.

Obituary.

By request THE TRIBUNE re- produces the following obituary which appeared in an Oregon pa per last December. The subject of the article was a twin sister of Mrs. Houston Orrell of Green Forest and resided in this com- munity for many years:
 "Mrs. Sue Inman (nee Cowden) was born in Bosque county, Tex, Oct. 24, 1861, was married to A.. J. Inman July 27, 1882. In 1874 she professed faith in Christ as her Savior and united with the Hickory Flat Missionary Baptist church in Boone county, Ark. On removing to Oregon she, with her husband, became constant members of the New Home Mis- sionary Baptist church, near the town of Milton, Ore., of which she was most faithful and devoted member until death, Dec. 26, 1900.
 The funeral services were con- ducted by Elders J. F. Horn and J. c. Pritchett by her own request. Eld. Horn preached the funeral sermon from Rev. 14:13, after which friends tenderly and gently laid her mortal remains to rest in the Valley cemetery, to sleep the sleep that knows no waking until the resurrection morning.
 Deceased was the mother of five children, two girls and three boys. Little Elijah Edgar, the second eldest, died in infancy, being only nine months old when his little delicate and precious life went out of the tabernacle of clay that held it. Like the fad ing of a lovely and tender flower was he and that sad day an angel bore the cherub away to be a guest to the Lord of Paradise.
 It can be truly said of our la- mented sister that her life was one of true and genuine devotion to Christ and his cause, faithful and vigilant in all her duties in the church, and not only was she active in her church work. but wherever duty called she went with a willing heart and helping hand to hel D any and all that needed help and sympathy and comfort.
 Surely she hath wrought a good work for her master.
 It was only to know her to love her, for she was beloved by all. She hath done what she could, and did it for the Masters sake.
 We mourn her loss, but not like those who have no nope. We are confident that we will see and meet her again on the other shore to renew the ties of Christian love and friendship which may seem for a while to be broken and severed, but not forever.
 We realize our loss is heavens gain, and we bow our uncovered heads in humble submission to thy will, oh our Lord and Say four, and grasp the divine promise that, 'These light afflictions which are but for a moment work out for us far more and an eX- ceeding and an eternal weight of glory
 May the Lord comfort and bless her bereaved friends and brethren, and her sorrowing hus band and children who are left behind. J. c. PRITCHETT. ;
