his capabilities and knowledge OF lumber

He was afterward taken into partnership by
the firm, which was then known as the

In 1874 NJ. Smith established his present
business on the corner Of LIST street and In
diana avenue and now also owns the large
lumber mills located at the foot of New
Jersey avenue southeast. This part or the
business Is quite an extensive one, and one
that Mr.. Smith considers an entering wedge
to the Industrial progress OF Washington.
It Is one in which more men are employed
than in any other enterprise OF Its KIM IN
the city. Its factories and buildings occupy
acres of land and give employment to hun
dreds of men. In the yards of the mill are
enormous quantities of lumber from every
section of the country. Lumber Is shipped
from almost every state. The piles or cher-
~, ash and oak are from the mountains OF
West Virginia the white pine from Michi-
gan, Wisconsin and California, and the
enormous quantity of yellow pine from the
Carolinas and Georgia There is walnut
from Indiana and Kentucky, and other
hard woods from hard timber states.
To the inexperienced observer there would
eppear to be enough lumber on hand to last
for years. A glance Into the large mills
however. would soon blot out this SUPPOSE
ton. There are machines for almost every
conceivable purpose.
An interesting feature OF the mill IS the
continuance for disposing of the waste

ANIMAL LOVERS
 MAKE PETS SICK
VEGETABLES AND FRUITS CON- TRiBUTEp BY VISITORS TO zoo LOGICAL PARKS CAUSE VETERI- NARY sLEEPLEss HOURS.

Very few persons who annually visit the circus at Madison Square Garden have any idea how many sleepiess hours they cause the shows veterinary surgeon and his corps of assistants through their generosity to the animals of the menag- erie.
 All through the winter season the mon. keys and wild beasts of the Forepaugh & Sells circus are kept in the winter quarters at Columbus O.. and are fed on what they should have and not what they crave. As soon as they are placed on exhibition at the Garden they start on a royal vegetarian debaueh which lasts all summer. While unprepared for such flood of luxuries, not a single brute. from the biggest elephant to the tiniest monkey, has been known to lessen his receipts by refusing to accept any thing edible offered. and the invariable result is indigestion.
 To many persons the fact that a mon- key was sufferng from collie or that a rhinoceros had developed case of house. mand's knee would seem a trivial occur renee, but to the veterinary surgeon Of the Forepaugh g. Sells Brothers circus it means infinitely more. He fears the com plications which may set In and destroy rare animals.
 Passing along the menagerie the wet" looks at each animal. Put your tongue out and say .ah,' is the request he makes of the sacred COW, who probably complains of an unlocated pain in one of her four stomachs, but would rather suf- fer than make known the fact that she had been without lower teeth from the day of her birth.
 It requires seventy-two cars, divided into three trains to handle show as large as the Forepaugh-sells circus, which exhibits here October '.
 Among the best features of this show are Diavolo, who loops the loop on a bicycle; the world-famed Aurora zou- ayes; Minting, the unicycle marvel; the great cycle whirl, twenty-three chambon bareback riders; the ten Peerless Potters in the greatest aerial act of the age; also a mammoth menagerie including four herds of performing elephants

Nothing was given out yesterday by the officers of the United Mine Workers concerning the issue between their or- ganization and the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company over the refusal of the latter to deduct assessments from the wages of their men without signed warrants
 It is understood that President Flynn of the Alabama district of United Mine Workers will continue to exert his ef- forts to induce all the members to sign for a dollar a week for the relief of the anthracite strikers.
 While the Tennessee company is the only one thus far that has had any of its men to quit work all the operators have expressed themselves firmly on the ques- ton of deducting assessments, and will maintain their position, they say, and re- fuse to take out a dollar unless they have a written request from the mine workers
