SPORT RARELY SATISFIES.
Mexicans Generally Leave Bullfght
Detected and Disguised.

81 was born and reared in the

Washington Post reporter.

these performances is the enthu-

WHY ARMOR is sTL
Process Of Making 1t Is Tedious and
Requires Patience.

A \
The general public has always
been mystifed at the extremely
high price paid for aFmOr plate.
The most important item is the
great length of time required for
the successful manufacture of a
plate, for, on an average, every
plate is being constantly worked
upon, either in furnace, forge, ma
chine shop or a%nnealing and TEN
pering department for a continu-
Gus period of nine months.
Other causes of high cost, says
the Scientific American, are the
large number of separate opera
tions, the frequency with which
the great masses must be trans
ported and the distances over
which they must be carried in
their journey from one depart
ment to another.
To illustrate the vast scale on
which an armor plate and gun
steel works is laid out and the dis
tances to be covered from shop to
shop, we may mention that the
whole establishment of one Penn
sylvania steel works extends in
one direction continuously for a
length of a mile and a quarter and
that the 40 or 80 landings and
transshipments which occur in
making a single plate take place
in and between such buildings as
the Open-hearth structure, which
is Iii feet wide by 1850 feet in
length; the machine shop, 1861
feet in width by 1875 feet in
length; the armor forge, $50 feet ir
length, and a face hardening de
partment and an armOr plate ma
chine shop, both of which are bur
little less in size.
Further elements of expense
are the large percentage of losses
which is liable to occur, the higl
first cost of the extensive plants
must be laid down, and the fac

of manufacture may at any tim.

Naval omesr Planned His Own HON.

Naval ofheer Planned His Own HONE
Forgot Important Point.
Years ago a story was told Of a
naval officer who wanted a house
built to please his own taste in
every detail. He drew the plans
himself, placed them in the hands
of a builder and instructed him to
see that they were carried out in
every detail. Then he went to sea
for a years cruise, says the Wash.
ington Star. When he returned
home the house had been com.
pleted with the utmost regard for
the plans and specifications left
by the officer. He was taken
through the first floor, and ex-
pressed the utmost pleasure in
everything he saw.
"Now," he said, "we will 90 up.

Come right out this way where
we have a ladder" replied the
builder.
The seafaring man was aston,

with the greatest care, but for

case in which a house has been

GLOVES IN EARLY DAYS,
Performed Curious Functions for Their
Lordly Possessions.

In the early days everything
was not regulated for the people,
asitis now, blythe government and
the law courts. Europe was still
young then, and people had rough
and ready means of dealing with
one another, of buying and selling
or giving goods and property and
settling disputes, says st. Nicho-
las. A glove, as it was very close
indeed to a mans hand, came in
course of time to be looked upon
as taking the place of the hand it
self, and sometimes took the
mans place and was made to rep
resent him.
For example,: To open a fair it
was necessary then to have the
consent and protection of the
great lord in whose country it was
going to be held. Those who
wished to have the fair would
come to the nobleman and petit
ton him to be present. He might.
be very busy, or bored at the idea
of having to go, yet he would know
that it must be opened or his PEG
pie would be DISCONTINUED. So he
would say to the leaders of the
people; "No, my trusty fellows, l
can't open the fair in person, but
/ will send my glove to do it. You
all know my glove. Nobody
has one likeit in the country.
1t is the one my lady mother EN-
broidered for me in colored silks
and silver wire, and it has a deep
violet fringe. You can hang it
above the entrance of your fair
grounds as a sign that you are act
ing with my permission. If any
one disputes your right or touches
his masters glove, | will attend to
him, that's ALL" SO the glove
would travel in state to open the
fair.

November and the portion Of road
completed has yithstood a hard

was the intention at the start to
build the macadam road from Ris-

of about 2i miles, and 1000
of the county funds were appro-
priated for the purpose. This
fund has since been used for other
purposes and now grave doubts are
expressed as TO the fulfillment OF
the original plans, but at least one
mile of the road will be completed,
which will extend from the town
limits to within a few yards of G.

Six Oyster Boats Seized.

The State steamer Gov. Robert
NJ. McLane, of the Maryland
oyster navy, which has been at
Chesapeake City for several days,
made number of important cap
lures of oyster boats, which, it is
alleged, had on board unlawfully
taken oysters. The oysters were
for planting and were under the
lawful size allowed to be taken
from the beds.
The boats were making an at
tempt to get through the Chesa-
peake & Delaware canal and into
New Jersey, when an inspector
from the McLane placed their
captains under arrest, and after
making a thorough inspection of
the boats the men were taken
before Magistrate Henry Jones, at
Chesapeake City, and fined in the
aggregate $32S.5O. The boats cap.
tured, together with their captains,
were: Addie Mills, Capt. Eugene
Mills, fine $53; Urbane, Capt. G.
