is A sERvIcEAeLE INVENTION
New Discovery Which Will Greatly
Help Builders.


A new building material which
promises much for the future is called
uralite. 1t is the invention of a Rus
sian artillery officer and chemist,
named Imschentezky. Uralite is COM
posed of asbestos fibre, with a proper
proportion of silicate, bicarbonate Of
soda and chalk, and is absolutely fire
proof. In a soft form a sheet of ural
ite Is like an asbestos board; when
hard 1t resembles finely sawn stone
and has metallic ring. Besides being
a non-conductor of heat and electri-
city, it is practically waterproof (and
may be made entirely so by paint), and
it is not affected either by atmos-
pheric influences or by the acids con-
tanned in smoke, which rapidly de-
stroy galvanized iron. 1t can be cut
by the usual carpenters or woodwork
er's tools it can be veneered to form
paneling for walls or partitions; it can
be painted, grained. polished and glued
together like wood; it does not split
when a nail is driven through it; it is
not affected when exposed to moisture
or great changes of temperature, and
it can be given any desired color
either during the process of manufac-
ture or afterward.

OF What Avail?

Senator Hanna's expression of fer
vid faith in a protective tariff as
means of promoting prosperity seems
to have Jared upon the nerves of the
New York Evening Post. No free
trader likes to hear or read that kind
Of talk. So the Evening Post sheer
ingly says:
with his praise of Mr.. Roosevelt,
he mingled greater praise of the high
tariff. 1t was a miraculously perfect
thing. 1t was the cause of all our
prosperity. OF what avail was it for
the Creator to give us forests and
mines, until the party of protection
came along and offered Americans a
tariff bounty to work them?"
To be perfectly frank with our free
trade neighbor. we don't mind saying
that until the party of protection
came along" the people Of this country
were not realizing much out OF the
uncut timber and the unmined ores

OHIO IDEA OF THE TARIFF.
1t Is That Enemies Of Protection KEEP
Hands Of.

IL Is max Enemies OF PfOIeCtfon NeeH
Hands Of.
Following the collapse OF the Iowa
Idea" revision scheme, the Ohio idea
of what should be done with the pro
tective tariff system will be received
with applause. The Ohio idea, as
set forth with simplicity and force in
the state platform of the Republican
party, is to let well enough alone.
In contrast with the Iowa idea OF tin
kering with the schedules, with the
reciprocity" idea of driving wedges
into the pillars of protection and with
the whole splendid structure on which
the national prosperity rests, the Ohio
idea stands out in grateful relief:
I'VE oppose all attacks upon this
policy Cthe protective tariff policy OF
pretext, as tending to bring back the
disastrous days of Democratic tariff
revision and free trade"
The Ohio idea, continued, is that
Changing conditions and the possible
benefits of reciprocity may call for
timely readjustments of schedules, but
protection as a principle and as a
policy must be administered by the
friends Of American prosperity and
must not be sacrificed" The position
taken by the Ohio Republicans is in
full harmony with that of all but a
selfish or misguided fraction Of their
party in the nation. Their idea, too,
is that no part of the prosperity struc-
ture should be touched by the hands
Of other workmen than those who
builded it. The country just now is
satisfied with its strength and earn
ing power. There is no call for its
disturbance save from the importers
and shipping interests and wreckers
in high finance" and the demagogues
of both parties. When the country de-
mands rea6tustment Of the tariff
schedules the Republican party will
listen to its request. But there is no
sign yet that the country is dissatisfied
with prosperity. And it will be lo1g
time, we hope and we believe, before
the country either will clamor for a
modification of the tariff or intrust
the care of the protective system to
the Democratic party.
The Ohio Republican idea of hands
OF the tariff is the idea of the Re
publican party and the idea of a vast
majority of this prosperous and con-
tented natfon-New York Press.

Why Eve PIueked the Apple.

Theodosia Garrison was dining out
the other night, and the conversation
turned upon various kinds of food
The gentleman who had taken her in
to dinner, and who prided himself on
knowing as much as a doctor about
foodstuffs, declared that apples were
excellent for the vitality of the brain
because of the phosphoric acid which
they contain in large quantities.
ooh, then it is quite clear" said
the poetess, that Eve only plucked
that apple to supply Adam with a few
ideas."-New York Times

ELLSWORTH never knew uuIl1 SOIuS
time in March how near Mrs. Ellis
worth came to marrying the other fell
low. The other fellows name was
Gridley. Ellsworth did not know Grid
ley, but he hated him. and felt that
nothing would make him quite so hap
by as to show him up in his true
light. He did not know what Gridley's
true light was, but he was confident
it must be bad one, and he wanted
to shine by contrast
He began the disillusioning process
by making Gridley's acquaintance. In
cidentally he inquired secretly into his
pedigree, social and financial. This in
vestigatiOn, however, resulted in moth
ing discreditable to Gridley, with the
exception of his having been in love
with Mrs. Ellsworth and that was a
crime for which not even Ellsworth.
when rejecting on the matter in his
saner moments, could consistently
blame him.
But the budget of testimony ELECTED
in Gridley's favor did not alter ELS

and Gridley happened to be in Phila-
delphia on business. They met in the
Broad Street station and came over 70

crossed Cortlandt Street ferry Els

Mrs. Ellsworth flashed him an in
Quiring glance out of the corner of her
eye. She had never told Ellsworth
that she had been engaged to Gridley,
and she wondered how much he knew
of that arrested romance.

know you were acquainted with him.

pened three years ago, when he was
counting some girl up in the country
somewhere. He did not mention the
exact locality, and forgot to ask, but
it doesn't matter. Anyway, he and
the girl were pretty sweet on each
other, and one evening when they
were out driving they made up their
minds to get married. They were then

Protection Insures Prosperity.

The calamityites are peering through
their pessimistic telescopes for the
least sign in the break of prosperity,
but in vain Our present good times
are based on a condition that is not
affected by droughts, strikes or other
temporary causes. So long as we are
enabled by protection to do our own
work, SO long will we continue to be
prosperous.

AND THERE YOU ARE.

The Board of Aldermen and the
Board of County Commissioners
have come to a clash I'VE fixing the
in front of the court house.
Some time ago the city went to
work and graded down the street at
that point, which leaves the surface
of the court house lawn about three
feet higher than the sidewalk. The
city thought at that time that the
county would bear the expense OF
putting up a brick wall to protect its
property, which would at the same
time improve the appearance of the
SQUARE. The matter vas brought to
the attention of the Board of County
Commissioners, but no action was
taken. At a subsequent meeting Of
the Commissioners, a resolution was
passed asking the Board Of Alder
men to build the wall and put in
stone steps on the front oftile square.
This resolution led the Aldernlen 10
dDpO1At Al ~
Commissioners alu Try TO come to
some agreement in regard to the X
pense. Tie committee was unable
to accomplish anything with the
Commissioners, and the Aldermen
finally appointed another committee
to wait on the ommissioners at a
special meeting of the board to be
held Monday afternoon. The COM
mittee from the Aldermen, consist
ing of Messrs. KorDegay, Harrison,
Lamb and Mayor Hood, met with
the Commissioners and presented
several propositions, all OF which
were rejected. The first proposition
was for the city and county to come
together and bear the expense
equally. This was rejected and the
committee then proposed to leave
the matter of expense to a commit
tee from the Commissioners and a
committee from the Aldermen,
which was also rejected. The Alder
men then asked that the Commits
sioners appoint a man, theA1dermen
anpoint a man and these two select
a third man and leave the whole
matter to arbitration. This was also
rejected. SO the matter stands just
where it did before the meeting yes
terday.
The County Commissioners seem
Undermined not to bear the expense
of fixing up the sidewalk if there is
anv way to get out of it and the city
is not disposed to do that which they
think properly belongs to the
county. Some of the Commission
J ers stated yesterday that if they were
forced to do the work they would dc
it, but they would not do it if they
could force the city to do 1t. Itlooks
now as if the city and county in.
tend to go into litigation over the
question, and in the meantime the
sidewalk and street will be left IN
bad condition and it presents a very
unsightly appearance.-And there
you are.

A SAD DEATH.
Mrs. t. R. Robinson Passed Away
Early on Tuesday at Her
Home in This City.

Home in This City.
AT 1915 Tuesday morning Laura
Hartsell, beloved wife of Mr.. T. r.
Robinson, fell on sleep, at their
home on William street, after a brief
illness of two days, of congestion of
the lungs.
Only eight brief months ago they !,
were bride and groom, and the swift
passing weeks between were those |
of joy and happiness and hope; but
the relentless scythe Of the silent
Reaper has swept between them in
their coy home and garnered her
who was the light of its portal and
the joy of its sacred domain
"Heaven's morning breaks, and
earth's vain shadows fee:
"In life, in death, o Lord, abide
with me!'
Our entire community is deeply
sorrowful over this untimely, sud-
den and all too sad death of one who
in life was ever so bright and cheer
full and considerate and went about
doing good-living the faith in
which she died. And so, we r as
sured, it is well with her now.
But the unspeakable sympathy of
all our people goes out to the be-
reaved husband who has thus been
so sorely visited and who, as one
dazed by the sudden blow, cannot
yet realize his loss. But "Faith is
not what we see Or feel; it is a sim
pie trust in the God of love-" and sc
when the funeral bell from the ca
thedral of the soul tells the passing
of those we love, filing the heart
with sorrow, and its notes wake
echoes that fill the while and all the
> afterwhiles with an aching sense o
8 lonliness, then it is that faith il
God is the only benediction life
holds for us, and it gives us th'
Alessed strength to suffer and yet b.
strong.
So may it be with him who to-day
gives to the grave in peaceful Will
e low Dale Cemetery his bride-wif'
until the Resurrection norm.
Mrs. Robinson is also survived b,
two devoted brothers, Capt. Jas. S
