Potato Pulp Cellu,oid.

1t is not many years since the
threatened ivory famine produced that
remarkable imitation known as cellu-
loid, which has been successfully em-
ployed for thousand uses. Now the
imitation has itself been initiated by
a curious preparation of potato pulp.
The inventor Is Dutchman, and he
treats the waste pulp, itself residue
from the manufacture of potato flour,
with n solution of acid and glycerlne.
The resulting compound takes plas-
tic form, and Is dried and ground to
powder. This powder is nodded into
blocks with the aid of water, very
much as one uses plaster of paris. The
material can be cut turned, bored, eft
cetera, and used for every purpose for
which ivory, bone, celluloid, ct cetera
are adapted

though but temporarily. AS an anti
Dreyfusard, he was leader In the cri-
sis of 1893 and 1900. His daring was
illustrated when Mt the election OF
Emile Loubet to the Presidency he in
suited the presiding officer and disturb
ed the ballot. The same night he tried
to hlve the President kidnapped, his
purpose being, If he succeeded, to him
self occupy the Elysee. He was al
most successful.
The popuace has idolized him. When
The deputies drove away from YER
sallles on the day Of the last Preslden-
tial election, Loubet was greeted with
yells of Resign! Resignw Waldeck-
Rousseau, Brisson and Depuy were sa-
luted with some manifestation of re-
spect. Only Paul Deroulede was cheer
ed. His eccentricities and the knowl-
edge that he was an enemy of Dreyfus
are not likely to make him popular in
this country. But he will not seek no
toriety. A Franco Canadian steamship
line Is to be created, it is said, and he
is to be the New York agent of the
company. Levi Z. Morton's son-in-law,
the Due de Volencay Perigard, made
him the offer of this position.

surrender at Yorktown, Steuben made
his impress on the continental army,
but nowhere In America will one find
any evidence, so far as governmental
recognition goes, that his work was
appreciated. Pennsylvania and New
York gave him grants of land and his
last days were spent upon the latter.
There he was buried and there his
grave was unmarked until historical
and local German societies erected a
monument. Gradually this was neg
lected and 1t is only lately that legisla
tive action was taken to improve the
spot.
Soldier of fortune that he was, the
picture of battlefield beckoning him
on to glorious achievements could not
be resisted by Baron Steuben. Details
were rapidly made. Benjamin Frank
lin was In Paris, seeking a man who
would enter the American army and
establish the order and discipline so
much needed by General Washington.
Dr. Franklin could offer no assurances
of financial support, could not even
guarantee the reimbursement Of the

ed and became n Republican. In 1864
he was elected to the United States
Senate. 1t was he who drew up the
reconstruction bill and he had charge
of it in the Senate.
From 1872 to 1873 he was Attorney
General under Grant. On the death Of
Chief Justice Salmon p. Chase Mr..
Williams was nominated to succeed
HIM But the Senate never acted on
the appointment. The reasons for this
were in large measure social
Mrs. Williams was talented, beau
tiful woman and was leader in Wash
ington society. But while popular with
large element, she was unpopular
with a certain influential coterie, con-
sisting of some Senators, Representa-
tlves, Judges and other high officials.
1t was thorn in their sides to have
her the wife of cabinet minister;
what would 1t be when she was the
wife of the Chief Justice? The pill
was very bitter one for them. The
idea of this lady from faraway Oregon,
the backwoods, as they said ranking
them! 1t must not be. And they uni
ted, almost as one, in the most bitter
warfare upon Judge Williams that has
ever been known at the national capi-
tai. Mr. Williams asked Grant that
his name be withdrawn and reluctantly
this was done Some time later Mr..
Williams left the Cabinet and practiced
law In Washington. Finally he re-
turned to Oregon and now, at the age
of 70, he re-enters political life as the
chief magistrate of Portland.

fective blows upon the British forces.
1t was Steuben's duty to bring order
out of chaos. How 1t was accomplished
there is not space to tell here, but the
results soon began to be manifested.
Steuben was made inspector general
and did valiant service In the organiza
ton of the army. He composed Il book
of regulations in 177S-79, which was
adopted, and upon which the present
American army regulations are based
But he finally tired of this service and
made an effort to secure active work In
the field, at the head of regiment.
There was objection to this, and he
threatened to resign. He was finally
given command and served with dis
tinction during the trying times, late In
the war, when he was compelled to
sleep on the ground because he could
not buy tent, when the credit of the
country was exhausted and the affairs
dition. He served In the South In 1779-
80, and achieved some distinction In
the field. In spite of the starved and
poorly equipped condition of his forces.
He was appointed to command in Vir-
ginia, and remained there most Of the
time until June. 1881.
At the close of the war an effort was
made to have Baron Steuben REIN.
bursed for his expenditures and paid
for his services to the nation. General
Washington warmly urged this, and
his last letter, before retiring from
public life was written to Steuben, and
contained the warmest expressions of
appreciation of the barons services to
the country. Steuben resigned from
the army In March, 1884, and month
later was presented by Congress with
gold-hilted sword and vote OF
thanks. Then it required seven years
active effort for the baron to secure
settlement for his services, and then
only after 1t had been plainly shown
that he had been reduced to the ex-
tremity Of either starving here or beg
ging in Europe. The compensation,
when 1t was finally made, was so mis-
erly in amount that the debts of Steu-
ben had absorbed all he received, and
the man who had done so much to
make the victory of the American
forces possible was compelled to retire
to little farm given him by the State
of New York and which was located
In what Is now the town of Steuben,
about twenty-five miles north Of Utica
Here he built log house of five
rooms, and lived, almost in poverty,
until his death in December. 1884,

of the reason why the people of Con.
stantinople tolerate so many dogs in
the streets of that city. 1t is in effect
that when a Mussulman commits a
sin, he prays and pays to have it for
given. After this is done, he takes a
which he throws to the dogs. If the
latter accept the food, it is sure sign
that the sinner is forgiven. If they
refuse to eat it, he is not forgiven. The
more dogs that roam around, the more
bread will be eaten and the more sins
forgiven.

ployed his private fortune, which was
not inconsiderable at the time, to the
payment of his own expenses to Amer
lea, and later, as the needs of the army
became imperative. impoverished him
self for the benefit of the American
soldiers. He made no conditions, and
bargained for no reward. Military dis
tinction and active employment were
the chief objects of his ambition, the
immediate motives of his conduct.
Upon his arrival America, In De
cember, 1777, Steuben was greeted
with the announcement of the capture
of Burgoyne and his entire army, and
looked upon 1t as a good omen. He
lost no time in entering upon active
service. He notified Congress of his
arrival, expressed his desire to serve
the country without conditions other
than to be allowed to gain the conf

If CHAIRMAN BRYANT and the state
central committee think they can brush
away lightly the school book scandal, or
that the people will permit the charges
of bribery to 60 uninvestigated, they are
making grave mistake. The republi-
can party has heretofore been frank and
open whenever it stood charged by it's
opponents of anything that savors Of job
berry. The present leaders of the party
are now posing as reformers, and it
stands charged to make good it's claims
of an irreproachable character. The
statements of such men as Senator Stout
and George Buckstatf charging corrup-
ton in the defeat of Supt. Harvey in the
state convention can not be laughed
away. The party must clear its skirts of
this shady transaction Or assume the
odium. The judgment OF the voters will
be held in allegiance until more light is
thrown upon this affair.
