CHAPTER Xxx.
An Idol Nigh the Breakin

And indeed Mr.. Glendonwyn had some
right to his opinion. For within the house

least, its outside disrepair and quaint an

comfort within. Indeed, but for the fear
that we were distressing our friends, there
was no suffering Of any kind connected
with our stay on the island. Jonet McColl
showed US over the rooms with housewifey
pride. First there on the ground floor was

opening upon the garden or courtyard. On
the other side Of the narrow passage was
In racks. To these Kate instantly turned
her eyes, and, taking the dumb woman in
hand, tried to spell out the letters Of Ru-
pert's name, with hopefulness cleaning in
her eyes. But either Jonet did not under
stand or she had her orders. Not from her
would we find out whether or not Rupert

Hamish McColl proved not to be man

He appeared to experience a difficulty in
understanding the bearing OF the query.
But at last he answered, 'It is the mails

Without entering the house or asking for
any refreshments, he held out his hand in
farewell.

toward the pier, where presently, from the
outer gateway of the ancient abbey, We
saw a figure join him.

MINING IN NEW YORK
Bentley Rinehart's Process Will Be
 Demonstrated in GlOversville.

Some time ago The Republican pub lished story of the progress of Bent ley Rinehart in the field of invention and discovery and announced that he was then engaged in a series of experi- ments in the placer fields north of Phoenix made in testing a process he had discovered for the saving of fine gold from placer sands. It was also stated that he had made similar experi- ments in the vicinity of GlOversville, N. Y, where there is large placer de- pCsit, though the values are very low.
 When MT. Rhinehart left here he said his experiments were very successful, but he refused to give publicity to his plans. l.. D. Copeland. who claims the honor of having "discovered'' Mir. Rinehart here in the early days, re- ceived a letter from him a day or two ago from London. He writes that he has satisfied himself that his process can be successfully employed in both Arizona and New York or anywhere else where there is fine placer sand. He has, however, number of gentle men in London with whom he has been previously associated and who desire to back him in this enterprise. It is their preference to inaugurate the en- terprise at Gloversville first for several reasons. principal among which is that while the sands are not so rich they are wider in extent than any appropri- ate place MT. Rinehart knows of here, and the facility for economical work ing, cheap freights and the economical

TEN MILLIONS IN
 TIN PLATE WORKS
This Infant Industry" Has Reached
 Industrial Manhood.

Harrisburg, September 21-Figures from the forthcoming annual report of James Nj. Clark, chief of the bureau Of industrial statistics, for 1901 show that the capital invested in Pennsylvania in tin plate works manufacturing their own black plate is $1O,525, LOCO.
 The production Of black plate in pounds was 435, ,GzS 900. The tctaI out put of tin plate made by the black plate works and the tin plate dipping works combined was 421, GAO 900 pounds. an increase over the production of I9OO of l23, 7SG GOO pounds.
 The value of the entire output. timed and untinncd, was $17.G12. O3O.
 In the black plate tin works there were employed S18S workingmen: the average yearly earnings, skilled and unskilled, was $561; the average daily wage, skilled and unskilled. was S2. .46.
 Lawrence county produced ever A per cent of the entire black plate pro- duction of the state; Westmoreland follows with nearly 2f Der cent and Allegheny with over II pei cent. But two counties.

THE STRATT0N WILL
 TALKED ABOUT
Probability of a Contest Is Being
 Discussed.

Colorado Springs. Col, September q. The Stratton will continues to be the chief topic of discussion in Colorado Springs. There is a general feeling that the wisdom of the bequest of ten millions or more for the institution outlined in the will is doubtful. How ever, it is likely that a considerable time will elapse before the actual exc cution of the plans as laid down can be undertaken, and the trustees fund. when it becomes available, may be able to throw more light on the practi- cability Of the scheme.
 Nothing could be ascertained today relative to the probability or possibility of contest between the heirs over the will. It is understood from a close friend of Stratton that the son, l. H. StIatton, declared some time be.ore his fathers death that if the will did not give him a specified sum he would con test it, and the sum left him is less by considerable than the sum named

Washington, September 21. The phenomenal activity of the whole coun- try is illustrated by some figures. just prepared by the treasury bureau of statistics, showing the commerce on the Great Lakes during the month of July and the seven months ending with July. The chain of Great Lakes which stretches from New York at the east to Minnesota at the west transports a large proportion of the products of T dozen states in which are included the principal agricultural mining and for estry sections of the country. The measurement of the commerce of the lakes, therefore, is an important eX- ponent of the business activities of the country. This is accomplished by the figures of the treasury bureau Of stat istics, which show that the total freight receipts at IA receiving ports on the lakes were 25, 5,71S.S26 net tons in the first seven months of the year, compared with 1SS91, ,257 net tons in the corresponding months of last year.
 The statistical measurement of trade on the Great Lakes has been greatly developed by the bureau of statistics within the past few years. Under the system of reporting cargo by masters O. vessels, which it established in the year 19)0, an average Of from 7,5OO to 5000 supplementary manifests is re- cCived at the bureau each month dur ing th9 season. These manifests are immediately tabulated in such a man. ner as to show the amount of business done by each lake port throughout the month and year. July is the latest month for which figures have been pub lished in the summary Of internal com merce, IA receiving ports and 2l7 shipping ports being represented.
 The end Of July usually marks the turning point in the open season of lake navigation. This year, however, an earlier opening brought out a much heavier tonnage movement than last season. The total freight receipts for the first seven months of this year were 25.713,S26 net tons, as against 1S,S91, ,257 net tons to the corresponding

PRESIDENT
 IN DETROIT
Even Sunday Was Made a Busy
 Day
A Part of the Time Was Spent at the Bedside of Dying Veteran of the Spanish American War

Detroit. Mich, September 21.-Presi- dent Roosevelt arrived at s o'clock this morning He found Detroit awaiting his arrival in gala attire. Throughout the day crowds lined the streets about the Hotel Cadillac, anxious for a glimpse of the chief magistrate, and his appearance was always a signal for enthusiastic cheering.
 It was a restful day for the president. although his time was completely oc- cupied by the programme mapped cut by the local arrangements committee. At 10 30 o'clock he attended services at the Fort street Presbyterian church, returning from there to General R. A. Alger's residence, where he was enter tained at luncheon.
 He reached the Cadillac soon after o'clock, only to leave for a short drive. After the drive he called at St. Mary's hospital. where Thomas De- herty, local veteran of the Spanish war is dying of consumption. Doherty had expressed a wish to see the presi- dent and General Alger heard Of it. Accordingly, at luncheon today Presi- dent Roosevelt was asked if he would call on Dcherty at the hospital. He answered that he would be delighted to do so. DCherty was unable to sit. and the president remained at his bed side some minutes, chatting with him and expressing words of cheer and hope.
 Tonight the president dined at the Cadillac with party of friends.

Will Maintain Judge Went Outside
 Evidence Presented to Him.

Philadelphia, September 21-The First Church of Christ (ScientisO. which was refused a charter by Judge Arnold be- cause, he said, the so-called church is corporation for profit" will appeal to the supreme court from the decision. The grounds for the appeal will be that Judge Arnold erred in taking under consideration things outside the evil dence placed before him.
 James w. Laws, counsel for the church, said that he will at once pre- pare the papers for an appeal.
 Our grounds for the appeal" said MT. Laws Twill be that Judge Arnold erred by going outside the evidence when he referred to the Christian Sci ence Journal to sustain his opinion. We asked for a charter to practice the dCc- trines C. Christian Science. as taught in the bible and Mrs. Eddy's Book of Science and Health, With a Key to the Scriptures The church gains no profit from the sale of this book, and it is not compulsory for a Christian Sci enlist to purchase a copy"
 Judge Arncld quoted in his opinion a statement made by Mrs Mary Baker Eddy, founder of Christian Science, in which she says it is the duty of every member of the church to sell as many copies of her book as possible. The Science and Health" is sold at B a copy, and Mrs. Eddy receives all the profits, which are said to have amount ed to more than s5OO,0GO since the book was first published.
 Albert F. Miller, the Pennsylvania member Of the publication committee of the Christian Science church, made the following statement yesterday to the Associated Press:
 'The congregation of the First Church of Christ (ScientisD.

 The famous retired bandit, smiling, blue eyed and mild Of voice, was the guest of the Rev. C. A. Cressy. Younger sat quiet, holding his trigger finger on hymn book until Mir Greasy had read a paper entitled What Is Man?" The gist of Younger's argument might have been ''TEe Man Strenuous"
 "To my mind" said he man ought to be a man whatever he's trying to do. T. he's in a Christian layout he ought to play his cards straight from the salvation deck. If there's any crooHed work in the deal it hurts the house just as much as it hurts him. It's up to him to spot sinner whenever he shows his head.

 ''The very cool weather has checked the opening of cotton in the central and western portions of the cotton re- zion. Picking has, however, advanced rapidly generally throughout the belt, and. as rule, under favorable condi- tions, although pickers have been in adequate in some states.
 over the southern portion Of the cotton belt the bulk of the crop has been gathered and in some sections many fields are already abandoned. Rains have caused damage to open cotton in portions of Arkansas, Louisi- ana, Georgia, Florida and South Caro- lima
 Tobacco has been injured to some extent by frosts in Kentucky and Ten nessee. About one-third of the crop remains in the fields in Kentucky, but in other important tobacco states cut ting and housing have been largely fin ished
 Some improvement in the condition of apples is reported from Ohio and Illinois. A good crop is promised in Michigan, Wisconsin, Missouri and DOT tiCns of Kansas, but in Indiana and generally throughout the middle At lantic states q very light yield is in dicated. Tn New York and New Eng land apples have been injured by high winds.
 '"The progress made with blowing fog. fail seeding has been very satisfactory throughout the central valleys. and considerable winter wheat has been sOwn in Missouri, Kansas and Nebras- ka.

Shipments thus far this season have amounted t1 26,S76,O06 net tons. those of last season being 19.653, ,334 net tons. The most con spicuous gains have been made in the shipment of ore and minerals not in- cluding coal, this seasons total amounting to 13.377.sl2 gross tons. against only 9.OS39S2 gross tons in 1901 "a gain of 47.3 per cent.

 The movement of registered tonnage of vessels on these inland waters :s reported for the first time this year. In these reports of internal commerce only the vessel movement between American ports is included In seven months 31.413 vessels arrived with q tonnage of 35.0S7,S76 tons registry. and 37,ISS vessels cleared. of 35. 7S6 701 tons registry. This is more than twice the registered tonnage Of both foreign and American vessels engaged in the for eign trade of the country. for the sam period of time. The foreign trade en- gagged 2174.954 tons of sail. and If.- OJ4,36I tons of steamships of all na- tionalities to July 31. 1902. making a total of 16269.9z1 tons. The combined registered tonnage in the foreign trade at New York, Boston. Philadelphia. Baltimore, New Orleans. san Francis co and Puget Sound for the entire year 1901 was 1S56S. SOS tons entered. and lS,4S1,246 tons cleared. or somewhat more than half the total tonnage re ported for the Great Lakes during the seven months of 1902
 Further analysis of this enormous total shows that II ports each report arrivals and clearances of a million tons and over. Five ports-Chicago Milwaukee. Duluth, Cleveland and Buf- falo-each show clearances of two mil lion tons and over. The combined ar rivals at these five ports was 11.4e1. .Os9 tons. and the clearances Il. 455. .544 tons.

 Arizona, therefore, will have to wait TOT the construction of q device uf his pattern here, but the many friends of MT. Rinehart, who was raised in this city, will await with interest the. result of the gold saving enterprise in New York. While New York has not been made famous by her gold mines. it iS a well-known fact that gold exists there in some quantity, as it does in nearly every mountainous section. and the GloVersV1lle district has already achieved some notOriety by reason Of the repeated failures of mining enter prises there. Ruins of many old plants are to be seen, and though nearly all oT them saved some gold they never could save enough of it to make the invest mcnt profitable.

LONG SENTENCE FOR
 CHILD'S ASSAILAR7
A Brute Must Spend Fifteen Years
 in the Penitentiary.

Butler, Pa, September 21-Joseph Bennett. charged with assaulting tue six-year-old daughter of John Wagner of this place, and who was sought fer two days by an angry mob which sur rounded the Butler jail and battered down its doors in an effort to secure the prisoner, pleaded guilty yesterday and was sentenced to fifteen years in the western penitentiaTy.
 Bennett's hearing was brief and he would have had it so. The cries of Lynch him." which filled the air on Saturday and Sunday about the jail still rang in his ears, and he shook vsi- bly as he admitted that he had com mittcd the crime.
 Bennett was accompanied to and from the courtroom by heavy guard, but there was no attempt to do him Violence. The mob spirit had Gisap- peared since Sunday, when those who sought the prisoners life made a sec ond attack on the jail and one man was shot in the leg and others were slightly injured.
 Bennett will be taken to the peniten- tiary tomorrow.

Washington, September 19.-The Gov ernment crop report issued by the de- partment of agriculture for the week ending September 19 is as follows:
 "The week ending September 19 was unseasonably cool throughout all dis tricts east of the Rocky mountains, more particularly in the lake region, central valleys and gulf states. with a general absence of rain. or only light precipitation, over the greater part of the area west of the Mississippi river. although heavy rains occurred in DOT tions of Arkansas and Louisiana. Needed rains fell in the Ohio valley laka region and middle and south Atlantic states. effectually relieving the drouth conditions in those districts.
 More or less damaging frosts oc- cured on the 18th, 18th and 14th throughout the northwest, central val leys and lake region and as far south as Arkansas and the northern portions of Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia. The north Pacific coast states continue to need rain, but in other respects the conditions on the Pacific coast were favorable.
 Late corn has been seriously dam aged by heavy frOsts over the northern portion of the corn belt, more especial ly to the westward of the Mississippi river Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri and Kansas escaped injury, except in the northern portions where late corn was damaged. In Iowa, northern Neb- raska, the Dakotas, Minnesota and Wisconsin early corn has been seri- ously injured.
 Ut is estimated that more than one half of the crop in Iowa and South Dakota was too far advanced to be seriously hurt, but the bulk Of the re- rnainder has been badly damaged. Much corn has been cut over the southern portion of the corn belt, where a fine crop is assured.
 The weather conditions have been
