FINE JAPANESE SWORD BLADES.
One Thousand Sheets Of Magnetic
Metal in One Saber.

One Thousand Sheets Of Magnetic
Metal in One Saher.
What do you think of sword blade
that contains a thousand sheets OF
metal? Yet the Detroit News-Tribune
as~arts that they are not uncommon,
anu, as you will readily imagine, are
of oriental workmanship. Our pains
taking, patient Japanese friends are
the makers of them.
The blades of these sabers are made
from magnetic iron ores. The steel Is
produced in small, very thin sheets,
and the workman begins by fixing one
of them to end of an iron rod, which
serves as a handle. To this are SOL
dered other small sheets, until the
mass has a length of about eight
inches, a width of about eight and a
thickness a little more than a quarter
of an inch.
This bar is brought to a white heat,
doubled on itself and hammered until
it is down to its original dimensions.
This process is repeated fifteen times.
Four similar bars are .hen soldered
together, doubled upon themselves, re-
soldiered and heated, the operation
being repeated five times. This proc
ess makes the superimposed layers so
thin that saber contains at least
O thousands sheets of metal.

Resemblance Causes ANNOYANCE.

Rev. Frank B. Rose, a chaplain in
the United States navy, bears
strong resemblance to Admiral Dew
ey He and his wife were in Wilkes
barre, Pa, recently and the rumor
got abroad that the admiral was in
trolley ride in the afternoon and were
followed by such crowds that it was
necessary for some ono to announce
that he was not Admiral Dewey and
that the demonstration was annoying.
Then the visitors were left in peace.

WHISKY AND TYPHOID FEVER
Doctors Deny That Alcohol Gives I'm.
munity From Disease,


Coupled with an epidemic of typhoid
fever, which has invaded twenty
households in the village of Bayside,
L. l., and incapacitated the only ply
stefan in the place, DR.. Charles B.
Story, comes the curious statement
that all the families stricken by the
dread malady are strict teetotallers,
while the drinking portion of the com
munity has thus far escaped.
Drinking members of the commun-
ity are boasting that dri- king kills
the fever germs. Instead of inviting
man to have drink, the Bayside
salutation now is Have a germ kill
err" The physicians, however, say
the drink question has nothing to dc
with the epidemic.

GENERAL ESTEY DEAD.
We'll Known vermonter, and Pre- sldent
of the Estey Manufacturing Co., Of
this City, Died Suddenly Friday of
Heart Failure

General Julius Jacob Estey, of Brat
tleboro, Vermont, president of the
famous Estey Organ Company of that
city and of the Estey Manufacturing
Company of this city, died suddenly as
the result of fatty degeneration of the
heart at his home in Brattleboro Fri
day. He had been in nearly his usual
health and his death was entirely unex
pected although he knew of his malady
and was fully aware that the end might
come suddenly at any time.
In his home city the announcement of
his death was received with the greatest
sorrow on every hand while in Owosso
although he had never spent many days
at time here, the news was received
like the news of personal loss. In re-
spect to his memory the Estey factories
closed Friday to remain closed until
after the funeral services were over.
Messrs. Chas. E. Rigley and o. B. Estey
treasurer and vice president of the com
pany, and Mr.. and Mrs. D. NJ. Estey al
once made arrangements to attend the
ing for Brattleboro.
General Estey was the only son of the
late Jacob Estey of Estey organ fame
the only other child being a sister of his
who survives him, Mrs. Abbie Fuller
wife of the late ex-Gov. Levi K. Fuller,
of Vermont. He is also survived by his
wife, who was Miss Florence Gray tC
whom he was married in 1867, and by
two sons, Jacob Gray Estey and Julius
Harry Estey. The former as vice presi-
dent and superintendent and the latter
as treasurer have for number of years
been actively associated with theil
father in the conduct of the business al
Brattleboro.
General Estey was a man whose in
fluence was felt throughout the entire
country. In religious and philanthropit
work he took the most liberal interest
He was president of the Young Mems
Christian Association in his home city
from the time of its organization unit
his death. He was one of the closes
friends of the late Dwight L. Moody and
took the keenest interest in the welfare
of the Moody Institute at Northfield
He was also the most conspicuous work
er in the Baptist denomination in his
state and had always, been one of the
most active workers in the republican
party. He had represented his distric
in the state legislature and for a numbe
of years was the commanding officer o
the Vermont national guard. He wa
one of the most approachable of mel
and one whose friendship was of tn
warmest sort not for a few but for tn
many among his friends and acquaint
ances. His death is loss far create
than that of but few men, and Owoss
will feel it perhaps more than she will
realize.

More Poultry Wanted.

Since making the purchase of the prop
erty on West Exchange street where he
has been in the poultry business for the
last few years, Mayor Emery has been
busily at work making plans for the
handling of much greater volume of
business than ever before. He has al
ready decided on engagements to his
business which will enable him to
handle at least twice the amount of
poultry which he has ever before
handled. He is very anxious that the
farmers of the county and particularly
those who are within practicable driv~
ing distance of Owosso shall make their
plans to raise much more poultry than
ever before He also would like them to
plan their attempts in the business in
such a way that they can bring their
poultry TO the market at a time when it
will bring far better prices than are pos
sible under the ordinary course of af-
fairs. To accomplish this he is arrang-
ing to give any farmer who wishes,
practical illustration of the operation
of incubators and show to them how
they can greatly increase their profits by
| their USE
The fact of the matter is that until
| Mr.. Emery came to Owosso several
years ago the business of poultry raising
was conducted only in the most desul-
| tory fashion. Scarcely anyone thought
of it as more than side line and side
line moreover which it did not pay to be
| too particular about. Soon after com.
| ing here however he began to convince
| the farmers of the surrounding country
that they could make more money by
raising poultry than they had ever
thought possible. AS a matter of fact
the amount of money which he has paid
out to the farmers of the country sur
rounding Owosso would seem almost in
credible. And probably there have not
been many if any crops the profits on
which have been so large per cent OF
the net receipts as the profits to them on
| their poultry.
Having taken the entire control of the
business Mr. Emery is now in a position
to enlarge his business to a far greater
| extent than ever before. This he should
have no difficulty in doing as he has al
ready become known to the most of the
farmers and poultry raisers of the county
for his business-like and fair dealing
and his readiness and desire to give then
| the benefit of whatever information OF
value to them he may have. He expects
to handle twice the amount of poultry
which was handled by the Owosso
Poultry Company during the past yeal
and is enough in earnest about the mat
ter so that if the farmers from the adj
jacent territory are unwilling to take
hold of the matter he will devote par
of his energies to the establishment o.
agencies farther away. There should b,
no need for this at the present tim,
however. The farmers can not do bet
ter than to take hold of the matter ever
more extensively than they have. The
rewards which they will receive will b.
certain to be even greater in proportion
than those they have already received

POWER 10 MAKE TREATIES.
Senate Committee Says House Can
not Interfere with Them.

Senate Committee says House Can
not Interfere With Them.
Washington, March 19.-The senate
committee on foreign relations today
listened to an argument by Senator
Aldrich in opposition to the ratification
of the French reciprocity treaty. He
took very positive position against
the French treaty. saying that IN his
opinion it was a pernicious agreement
and calculated to work great injury.
He said that in making the concessions
provided for in that treaty, the United
States was securing only the low tariff
rates Of France. which are unc0ndi-
tionally granted TO other countries.
In announcing It's decision the COM
mittee saws it is entirely competent for
the senate so to amend the treaties as
to require the approval of both houses,
but it contends that this concession
does not i'm any way affect the prerOga-
tive of the president and the senate as
the only treaty-making power of the
United States. For this prerogative
the committee stands out stiff1y. The
report says:
The congress is without power to
grant to the president or to the senate
an yauthority in respect to treaties. nor
does the congress possess any power to
fetter or limit in any way the presi-
dent or the senate in any way in the
exercise of this function It cannot
enlarge or in any way limit or attach
changes % the exercise Of the treaty
making power"
