relative TO the establishment Of ma
uonal university.
Washington's Aim.
Washington long cherished the idea Of
fitting up at the National Capital a uni
versity for the students Of America. He
deplored the then prevailing tendency,
and necessity for ambitious students to
go TO Europe for their education. and
thus putting themselves in the way OF
contracting ideas which might In time
prove detrimental to the national form
Of government. He believed that Amer
lea should have a university for it's peo-
pie, ana thought no place better quail
fed for its establishment than the Capt.
tai OF -he Nation.
He believed such a university should
not stand for any particular policy, but
that Its faculties should be selected with
but one object in view-that Of obtain
Ing the abiest and greatest educators.
To Offset Local Prejudice.
In his utterances on the subject of
national university. Washington proved
that he sought an institution that
should realize for the nation a unity Of
conception of Federal power. a broad
national charity that could only be up-
builded by bringing together at the seat
Of National Government students from
every part Of the nation. The advan-
tage in establishing the university at
Washington was pointed out In the fact
that students would thus have an on
portunity to obtain common conception
Of National Government. have their
local prejudices reduced, and go forth
into all parts Of the country carrvine,
with them a spirit Of broad charity and
loyalty TO the Union.
The New Site
The university has recently purchased
a new site. containing about five acres
Of land, fronting the Presidents park.
Immediately south Of the White House.
and looking south upon Potomac Park.
The Potomac Park and the public
grounds Immediately around this site
and along the Potomac River contain
over 1000 acres. These public grounds
Will give the students Of the university
splendid opportunity for recreation and
athletic sports

PRINCESS LOUISE
AMUSES VIENNA
Her Midnight Flight Keeps
Court GOssips Busy.
NEW DETAILS UNCOVERED
Plot Carefully Planned and Executed.
Her Love Affair With Army
Officer.

VIENNA. Sept. The 'Neue Freie
Presse" today publishes additional de-
tails Of the flight from Elster of Princess
Louise Of Coburg, whose relations with
keglevich Mattachich. a former lieuten-
ant in the Austrian army. caused n great
scandal in European circles seven years
ago, and who has since been kept under
restraint.
The princess had been at Elster. which
is noted as a health resort. taking the
cure. Her bed chamber was on the
urst nOOr and was under her own super
vision. Necessary precautions had been
taken for her welfare and security.
Her lady-in waiting s bedroom was ad-
joining on one side and tnat of the
chamberma D was on the other. OPP
pOsite the room occupied by the princess
a night Waterman was on duty.
Development of the Plot.
A week ago an individual rented rooms
directly underneath those occupied by
the princess. on Tuesday last the
princess was seen conversing with two
members Of a Hungarian Minstrel band
and just previously some gentlemen had
ondeavored to deliver a letter to her.
1t has now been ascertaiued that n
certain lady ordered a C rriage at
Franzensbad to be IN waiting at 30
O'Clock yesterday morning and the
cOachman had not returned at 7;30
o'clock TO Elster. Ii ig believed the
princess was assisted 70 escape from
the window Of her bedroom and was
taken TO the carriage. The gentleman
who occupied the room underneath that
of the princess. and who is reported to
have come from Gratz, has also dis
appeared.
Whereabouts Now Unknown.
The flight OF the princess was not dis
covered until between 9 and 10 o'clock,
and all search for her has been fruit
f. less 1t is believed that she transferred
from the carriage to an automobile and
that she has gone either 10 Switzerland
or to France.
Former Lieutenant Mattachich and
his friend. Marie Stoger, are currently
mentioned as being concerned in the
fight OF the princess. although there is

UNITED STATES GYPSUM.
Deposits Have Been Developed in
Many States Throughout
the Union.

The manifold uses to which gypsum
is now applied gives its production
great importance. Ground gypsum
serves a valuable purpose in agricul-
ture as land plaster, increasing the fer"
tility of soils. One of the uses with
which We could dispense is that as an
adulterant of flour and other products,
Calcined gypsum may be classified as
plaster of Paris and wall plaster
Plaster of Paris is used principally in
molding. for forming molds and plas-
ter ornaments, especially such as are
used in interiors. The glory of Chica-
COS white city might have remained
an unreali2cd dream had II not been
for the gypsum deposits of the coun-
try. The use of plaster of paris as
molds in the manufacture of porcelain
is extensive. In The plate glass indus
try thousands of tons are required
annually for bedding the glass during
the process of grinding and polishing,
1t is also employed as a filler in paper
anu 40 Il nlllibl ipllSAlluLhN VI bbi
Portland cements. Some raw gypsum
is used as a body for paint. Calcined
gypsum prepared with glue and pig
ments, and sometimes called alabas-
tine, is applied as a thin plaster to
walls, The use of gypsum as wall plas-
ter is most extensive, and because Of
Its adaptability it las largely dis
placed lime and sand mortar as wall
finish. To the many people concerned
in the manufacture and use of gypsum,
Bulletin No. 223, on gypsum deposits
in the United States, which has Just
been published by the United States
geological survey, will be of interest,
The bulletin is published fer gratuitous
distribution.
This report consists Of a comprehen-
sive summary Of existing knowledge
regarding the gypsum deposits of the
United States, compiled by Mr.. George
|. Adams. with the collaboration OF
II other g%eologists, who have prepare |
papers on the deposits of the several
states. The geology, technology and
production of gypsum are discussed by
Mr.. Adams in a preliminary paper.
Special attention is gwen by him and
his associates to the economic features
of the subject.
The diverse conditions of develop
meut Of the deposits of different re-
gions are well shown in the papers on
the occurrence Of gypsum in the vari-
GUS states. During 1902 gypsum was
produced in Michigan, Iowa, Texas
New York, Ohio, Kansas, Oklahoma.
Ca ifornia, Wyoming, Colorado, Vir-
gii.ia, Utah, Montana, South Dakota,
Nevada and Oregon. The industry is
thus seen TO be well distributed, OK

United States.

The Third Division.

A Southern planter employed a ne
gro to work some of his land during
the last year on shares. On account
of the high price of cotton the ne
gro's. half Of the proceeds amounted
to $1,000. The planter knew that it
would ruin any Afro-American to get
such a sun Of money, and decided
that half Of it would be enough Upon
further reflection the conviction grew
upon him that $500 would ruin any
negro in the world, so he cut the sun
in half again. and piling four hundred
shining silver dollars on his desk sent
for the negro and brother, and said
that he was ready to settle, The man
fairly gasped at the amount of wealth
in sight.

BOTH JAWS SHOT AWAY


A man who had both jaws shot away
had trouble eating ordinary food but
found a food-drink that supplies the
nutriment needed. He says:
Il have been an invalid since the
siege of Vicksburg, in 1866, where | was
wounded by a MIME ball passing
through my head and causing the en-
tire loss of my jaws. | was a drummer
boy and at the time Vas leading a Skin
mish line, carrying a gun. Since that
time | have been awarded the medal Of
honor from the Congress of the United
States for gallantry on the field.
''The consequences of my wound
were dyspepsia in its most aggravated
form and | finally proved ordinary cof-
fee was very hard on my stomach so |
tried Postum and got better. Then |
tried common coffee again and got
worse. l did this several times and
finally as Postum helped me every
time | continued to use it, and how
often | think that if the Government
had issued Postum to us in the Army
how much better it would have been
for the soldier boys than coffee.
Coffee constipates me and Postum
does not; coffee makes me spit up my
food, Postum does not; coffee keeps me
awake nights, Postum does not. There
is no doubt coffee is too much of a
stlmulant for most people and is the
cause of nearly all the constipation.

at liberty to use my name" Name

AXLES MADE FROM SCRAPS.
Much Old Metal Is Used in the Con-
struction of Railway
Freight Cars.

Old scrap iron, lying in heaps and rust
ing away under the influence of the
weather, has been utilized by a street
railway company in a western town. II
has been found, states the Chicago
Chronicle, that from this material cal
be secured much better axles than those
purchased in the market or that can be.
obtained from rolled bar iron. Instead
of disposing of all scrap to a junk deal
or, as is usual, the metal is sorted into
several grades, cast iron, wrought iron
or steel. Part of this is then disposed
Of through the regular channels, but
the No. | and No. 2 wrought iron SCRAP
is set aside for the manufacture OF
aXles. The several pieces, which are of
all sizes and shapes, are arranged in
binders, mace of bent pieces of scrap
plate, giving a rough pile about ten
inches wide, eight inches thick and 1G
inches long. which Is not too large to
be conveniently handled.
These bundles of scrap arethen stored
until needed. A %reverbatory furnace
heated by oil, which Is made econom-
ically possible by the c~heapness of fuel
oil on the Pacific coast, is employed for
heating these bundles of scrap to a weld
ing heat, for forging by a steam ham
mer into slabs, About u bundles are
worked at a heat, and when each issues
from under the 3,300-pound steam ham.
mer, the volume is reduced more than
half, there only remaining a slab six
inches by two inches and three feet six
inches long. Three of these slabs are
then welded together to form the small
est size axle. After being worked to the
proper shape, the rough ends are cut off
and finished in lathes to dimension
sizes.
The a company officials assert that
the axles thus produced from scrap are
cheaper and possess a greater ductiIity
and better fiber than any aXles they can
purchase. Incidental to the process the
nue heat from the furnace is passed
through a waste heat boiler that pro-
duces sufficient steam to operate three
steam hammers in the blacksmith
ShOD.

HEAD IMPALED ON POST
Severed Organ Found Near Palermo,
Italy, Declared to Be That
of Noted Bandit.
From Sicily, Italy, comes a ghastl!

From Sicily, Italy, comes a CHASTITY
story reminiscent of the middle ages.
One morning recently a mans head
in an advanced state of decomposition
was found impaled on a post outside the
walls of Palermo. Attached to the post
was a card bearing the words: This is
the head of the infamous brigand, Var
salona.'
This curious discovery was made or the
property of a certain Baron Aniello, who
took a prominent part in the trial of the
notorious Varsalona two months ago for
murder. and offered a large reward for
his capture,
When the daughters of the brigand
we're confronted with the head, one de-
clared it was that Of her father, but the
other denied it. The brigand's sweet
heart, however. recognized the head by
the filling in a front tooth.
Great excitement prevails in Sicily as
the result of this strange occurrence
