CORKWOOD CASKS.

A man at Guelma, in Algeria, has
taken out patent for the manufacture
of casks in corkwood. An interior
coating isolates the contents from con-
tact with the cork. A barrel of IL gal
Ions weights 30 pounds instead of SO
pounds weight of a woodencask of the
same capacity, Cork being bad con-
ductor of heat and cold, the necessity
of adding alcohol for the preservation
of wine will be unnecessary, and the
liquid will no longer be subject to the
fluctuatiOn of temperature. In warm
climates these casks might be used for
conveying ice, meat, fish or fruits,

William Randolph Hearst info,med

but their efforts failed, the Attorney

When President Ro Isevelt was abont
to leave on his western trip he was called
ON by n delegation Of the prominent
members of his party and was compelled
TO revise his tariff and 'trlIst busting
speeches to be delivered on the trip, or
take the consequence of defeat or attempt
at defeat in the next republican national
convention. The revision was made at
their dictation, and, inasmuch as he had
not time TO rewriIe all bis steeches he
ussd some Of the warmedover speeches
that were satisfactory to the tariff barons.
The speech that he delivered at Minneapo-

WHOLE COUNCIL
Is CITED TO APPEAR FOR CON
TEMPT OF COURT.

NATION, ILL.,, Nov. 6.-After
Francis NJ. Menke was deposed from
the Office Of mayor of NATION by order
Of court a few weeks ago, the city
council elected Alderman James A.
Brown mayor pro tenn and since that
time he has been filing the office.
At the meeting Of the council Tuesday
night, . committee was appointed to
draw up call for special election.
1t is said by those who want q special
election that the council has deferred
action, and the members Of the council
were yesterday commanded in the
circuit court at Charleston Monday,
November 9, and show cause why q
writ of mandamus should not issue
against them compelling them to call
a special election to elect a mayor.

The question Of charging the con-
tractor who 10 building the brick
streets, for the use of the street roller
came mp in the board Of aldermen last
night. There should be no question
about 1t. A city ordinance makes it
imperative on the city to charge Is .
day for the use Of the street roller, and
there 10 no reason, so far a. is known
to the public, who paid for the roller
and doubtless still has an interest in
it, why it should be turned over to
contractors for their own use and BEN
eft. The roller saves many dollars
that would otherwise have to be spent
for excavations, and IS . day is n very
small amount for contractor to pay
for its use. The contractor is not fur
njshing the city with anything free of
charge, ard there's no reason the city
should furnish him the street roller
free of charge.

whether he will in all probability be
able to complete public work in the
time prescribed. it would soon devel'
CD to what extent contracts are taken
in Paducah on the presumption that
as much time as is necessary to COM
plete public work can be secured for
the mere asking.
Paducah now has two blocks of
streets in the business center practical
ly impossible. 1t may not be the con
tractors fault, and it may not be the
city's fault, but the people are the
ones who are suffering just the same.
In both cases the delay is said to be
caused by failure to get material. Ma
terial is furnished by contractors, and
they ought to know something IN ad-
vance about how, when and where
they are going to get it. 1t is a part
of their business and the public should
not be called upon to suffer inconven'
fence, loss of time and business, be-
cause q contractor has failed to make
arrangements in accordance with his
ability to get labor and material One
of these blocks was torn mp before it
was decided what kind of material
was to be used for curbiug, and it is
still torn up. City officials say they
do not know whether it will be two
weeks or two months until the stone
arrives, but no matter which. the pub
lilo has to suffer in the meantime. It
is this sort Of thing that the new OFF,
cials should guard against.
If the ordinance prohibiting extern.
sion of the time of any contractor for
completing public work 10 enforced,
IL will soon result In every contractor
finishing his work within the time
specified, or in his refusing 10 take
any work that he cannot finish within
the prescribed time. Public work will
