RICH IRON ORE BEDS.
spain Sells Millions OF Tons to other
Lands but Buys steel

spain Sells Millions OF Tons to Other
Lands but Buys steel.
The leading industrial journal of
Spain, commenting on the fact that a
steamship had taken a load of iron ore
to the United States and had Just re-
turned with a cargo of steel rails, de-
plores the almost entire lack of steel
works in Spain. and the consequent
necessity of importing steel into a
country that is very rich in iron ore of
the best steel-malking quality. Spain
has been the classic land of the min
ing industry since the time of the
Phoenicians, and yet the main use the
country makes OF its rich supply of
metals is to sell them to other coun-
'ries. The splendid iron ore among the
mountains of the north coast is hema-
lite of the best steel grade There Is
plenty of coal with which to reduce the
ron ore, the coal output in some years
being worth as much as 10000 900,
out though Spain has every facility for
making all the iron and steel the peo-
ole need most of the commodities are
'ihpOi tOu. III iCNthl years, W Db SURE,
considerable industrial activity has de-
geloped in the Basque province among
he mountains where the iron ore is
lug out of the crust of the earth, and
also in Catalonia in the extreme north
east of the kingdom, mainly at the
city of Barcelona and around it, The
chief industry is the manufacture of
iron and machinery, but not nearly
enough are made to supply the de-
mands of the country. There is only
one other country that is great pro-
ducer OF iron ore and yet depends
upon other lands to turn this raw ma
terial into pig iron and steel. That
country is Sweden, which, however
has a good excuse for selling its ore in
stead of making iron and steel of It,
Sweden has practically no coal. and
therefore it is at a great disadvantage,
Tor 1t is without fuel to smelt its ores,
while Spain has both ore and fuel in
abundance.

hanu OF Ouf LOVE-
Land of our love. with all thy pride
and power
In thy most prosperous hour,
When. laden with the fruitage of thy
toll
Thy mines and looms rich spoil
To lands remote. thy peaceful argosies
Sail forth with favoring breeze,
And through thy valleys, plains, and
mountain glens,
Peace crowned with comfort
reigns.
Vaunt not thyself exulting. Lift thine
eyes
To the eternal skies.
Acknowledging nations true success
Depends on righteousness.
1t is not heaped-up gold nor lordly
towns
Can ward off Fortunes frowns;
it is not mastery of many lands
That highest praise commands.
imperial splendors fade, and earthly
gear
Will fall and disappear.
But justice and right purpose and true
worth
These things abide on earth.
And thou shalt only rise to thy true
height
While these thou keepest bright;
Shalt only win to lasting, living fame
And these adorn thy name;
Shalt only have the love of all the race
If these bestow their grace

In 1855 it required on the average
four hours and "a minutes of the time
of laborer to do the ploughing, har-
rowing, cultivating, etc. that went to
the producing of a bushel of Indian
corn, and the price of that laborer was
nearly 80 cents on the average. To-
day machines have changed conditions.
Their use has reduced the necessary
time of The laborer to about "a min
utes and the cost of it to about ION
cents. The wages are, however, much
better now than in 1855. In 1880 the
time required to produce each bushel
of wheat was over three hours. it Is
now about 10 minutes; the cost has
been reduced from over II cents to
about 3 cents. Before the introduc-
tion of machines the time devoted to
producing each ton of hay was about
351a hours; it is now 11Ia hours. In
1860 the corresponding cost was over
SO; it is now about $1.29. These and
many other comparisons of the sort
are to be found in report by Mr.
Holmes printed by the Department Of
Agriculture in Washington.

Contrast of Tempnrature.

The British Meteorological Council
has just published charts showing the
remarkable weather conditions which
prevailed over the North Atlantic
ocean and adjoining lands in the win

extremely boisterous for period OF
six weeks, while a great difference Of
temperature prevailed between the two
sides of the ocean On February 10th

stonewau Jackson's Wounds.


In view of the recent discussion
whether Frank S. Rosenthal of Carroll
ton, Mo-, Louisiana Tiger is the
man who fired the shot which resulted
in the death of Stonewall Jackson. a
review of the facts in this case may
prove interesting. Gen. Clement A.
Evans who was a colonel in Gen.
Jacksons command at the time, and
who later was promoted to the conf
mand of the famous Stonewall brigade,
when told of Mr. RosenthaPs fears
that he was the particular man who
fred the fatal shot. said the idea of
any one man thinking he was respon
Z sible for Jackson's death was ridicu
lous There were three distinct
wounds, said Gen. Evans, "and to the
best of my recollection the shots were
fired by North Carolina troops Gen.
Evans referred to Memoirs of Stone
wall Jackson" by his widow, Mary
Anna Jackson says the Atlanta (Ga.)
News. This gives a complete account
of the untimely accident which took
from the southern forces their most
brilliant leader. Col. Augustus Choate
Hamlin names the 33d and 18th North
Carolina regiments as the ones imme-
diately adjacent 10 the spot where Gen.
Jackson was shot and the 18th is
named as firing the fatal shots. Mrs.
Jackson's account. in part, of the ac-
cident in her work on the life of her
husband, is as follows: Gen. Jack
son, ACCOMPANIED by part of his staff
and several couriers, advanced on the
turnpike in the direction of the enemy
about 100 yards when he was fired
upon by volley of musketry from his
right front. The bullets whistled
among the party and struck several
horses. This first was evidently from
the enemy and one of his men caught
the bride rein and said to him. Gen.
Jackson, you should not expose your
self so much There is no danger
he replied, the enemy is routed. Go
back and tell Gen. Hill to press on
But in order to screen himself from
the flying bullets he rode from the road
to the left and rear. The small trees
and brushwood being very dense. it
was difficult to effect a passage on
horseback. While riding as rapidly as
.Sbossible to the rear, he came in front

no idea that he. or any one but the
enemy. was in their front and. mis-
taking the party for body of federal
cavalry, opened a sharp fire upon
Nthem From this volley Gen. Jackson
received his mortal wounds. His right
arm was pierced by a bullet, his left
arm was shattered by two balls, one
above and one below the elbow, break
Ing the bones and severing the main
artery. His horse, Little Sorrel, ter
rlfled by the nearness and suddenness
of the fire, dashed on in the direction

difficulty that he could control him

Feat OF a Military Man,

Captain L. T. Brown, military man,
won his partnership because of his re-
markable. capacity as a practical op-
orator. He was formerly employed
as superintendent at the Moorhead
Mills, where his reputation was
made. The Carnegie company made
him a handsome offer and placed
him in charge of the Union Mills. To
the amazement of Mr.. Carnegie, Mr.
Schwab and the others, Mr.. Brown,
without increasing the plant by SO
much as a smoke-stack, trebled the
production of these mills, a feat with
out a parallel He was admitted to
partnership in '92 Among the other
partners who belong to the operating
staff and who won their spurs are Mr.
e. F. Wood, assistant to the general
superintendent of the Homestead
works, and who ranks as the finest
metallurgist in the country; Mr.. James
Hunter, the superintendent of the Low
er Union Mills, who was admitted to
partnership five years ago; Mr.. A. E.
Hunt, who is the superintendent of the
- P'''sS AA'' - hAN''Souf q
position in which he succeeded Mr.
Corey. now president of the company;
and Mr.. A. C. Dinkey, general superin-
tendent of the Homestead Works, who
left the farm at fifteen and struck out
for himself. These men all came up
from the ranks. So with the other
members Of "The Thirty" None of
them had either money or influence to
help them along. They made their own
way by hard work. by loyalty to their
employers, and by using to the best
advantage the brains that God gave
them. Their example is one to inspire
every young Observation-Disclosures

things well and who knows the prac-
teal value of dancing in modern mill
tary tactics, says the Toledo Bee. 1t
seems that at the annual military ball
of the Second infantry regiment at
Chicago the other night careless lieu
tenant was dancing the two-step with
young lady and was not keeping time
to the music. His major. who was pres
ent, noticed this gross breach of mill
tary discipline and promptly called the
lieutenant down. The rude junior Of
ficer naturally enough, didn't like the
call in front of his lady friend and got
hot under the collar. He lost his head
and had the impudence to tell the
major that it was none of his business.
One word led to another. both being
proud-spirited American soldiers. and
finally the major called the lieutenant
a liar. Major Garrity. for that was his
name. may have been little rough.

lieutenant's offense. If we are to be

dance the two-step and dance IL right.
Some of our older citizens who remem-

remember how fortunate it was that
General Grant had learned to dance

how lucky it was at Winchester that

lived a military life have a dim idea
at best of the advantages of having
army officers who can dance. Any nan
with two sound legs can march, but
not all men can master the rhythmical
cadence of the dance. There is a har-
monious twist to the legs and a mus

men can catch on to. To do the thing
right one must drop his feet on the
waXeG floor at just the right jab in
tho music or the troops are apt to get
panicky and stampede. The first false
two-step may prove fatal. History
tells us that Caesar invariably two
stepped out in front of the infantry just
before battle and did a few terpsi-
chorean stunts to convince the troops
that he was feeling like a colt and
hoped they were the same. Mare
Antony in his expurgated memoirs
tells of how he used to waltz Cleopatra
up and down in front of the troops
Just to show them that he was it. And
the only battles he ever lost were those
that he butted into without having a
chance to dance. Marcus Aurelius, TOO,
appreciated the Importance of the two
step on human valor, and history tells
us that he used to get the troops on
the ballroom floor just before the bat

Our New Fountain.

Through the we'll directed efforts OF
the Town Improvement society, second
ed by generous contributions Of citizens
and the kindness of Street Commissioner
Webb, fountain of beautiful design
and appropriate size has been placed on
the plat of ground at the junction oil
Water, High and Bush streets, adding
much to the attraction of that part OF
our village.
This Is the second fountain contrib
uted to the town through the efforts OF
this society, the other being drinking
fountain on Water street, near the rail
road crossing, it being more for comfort
than for ornament. Another drinking
fountain was erected on Madison avenue
through the efforts of the ladies of the
w. G. 7. U. two years ago. Our citiz ms
appreciate these improvements, realizing
that they add to the attractions of the
town.
This is the first fountain erected in
Skowhegan for ornamental purposes
but we trust it will not be the last one.
We hope the good work may go on in
this and other directions and, as a lady
in town suggests, THAT we may live up

evening, ascribed to our town.

A Fair or an Unfair Criticism
Which?

1t Is but fair to assume that no one
present at the "Old Home" entertain
ment In Coburn Hall last Monday even
ing would be rash enough to doubt the
culture of her voice or talent displayed
by Miss johnson on that occasion. Pos
sibly ten per cent of the people present
could appreciate her rendering of the
pieces she sang, while it is probable that
the other ninety per cent regarded it
worse than Greek to understand.
From the writer's standpoint, Miss
johnson fell into the error of nearly all
good singers by catering TO the ear OF
the few and disregarding the taste of the
many, when, IL she with her strong, cul-
tured voice, rich in melody and musical
talent, had given the audience even one
verse of Annie Laurie, Suwanee River, or
Sweet Home, the deserved applause from
the large and apprecative audience
would have raised the roof of Coburn
| Hall.
Why cannot our good singers see this
and touch the popular chord on such
home like occasions by singing some
thing that the MANY can appreciate?

Lakewood Notes.

Francis W. Briggs, general manager
of the Somerset Traction Co., gave the
gentlemen of the Lakewood Stock Co., a
pleasant carriage drive to Pttstleld on
Sunday last, where they remained over
night as his guests, returning, Monday.
Being unable to secure the manuscript
of the piece "Too Much Johnson" it was
found necessary to substitute "Under
Old Glory" at Lakewood theater this
week, much to the disappointment of
many. 1t Is a semimiliCary drama,
filled with startling situations which
arouse the audience to enthusiasm, but
not the equal of many others presented
this season. Next week the comedy
captain Racket will be produced
which will close the season of the Lake
wood stock company.
The third of the yacht races for the
Lakewood cup had four starters, the Mar
tina, Fancher, Rainbow and Three Friend
the latter being new contestant for the
cup, but by no means untried on Hayden
Lake, as she has two cups won to her
credit in previous years. The advent Of
the Three Friends was warmly welcom-
ed, as it was thought she would give the
Martha, victorious in the previous two
races good fight. Most unfortunately
Capt. Wentworth run onto the buoy in
starting, which delayed him some min.
utes in getting away, and after the first
leg was turned it was seen the Three
Friends could not over come the lead
gained by the others through her mis-.
fortune. There was good sailing
breeze and the course was covered In
43 minutes, the fastest yet, the Martha
being first by a long lead, and Fapchel
second.

The fine and costs were paid. Five wit

proved to be unwilling witnesses, yet by
dint of close questioning, information
enough to prove the sale was drawn out
and the fine imposed.
