BOOKS AT DAWN or HISTORY
Every Civilized Nation Early in Pos.
session Of Art Of WRITING.

1
The Oldest books In existence are
doubtless. those of the Babylonians;
but the great permanency OF these Is
Explained by the material of which
they are composed. and it does not
necessarily follow that they were the
first books to be made. We know that
the Egyptians employed papyrus roll
from the earliest historical periods, and
that the Hindoos made their palm leaf
books at very early day. In short,
every civilized nation is discovered at
the very dawn of its history in full
possession of system Of bookmaking.
1t is impossible to decide the ques-
tion as to whether one nation bor-
rowed from another in developing the
idea of bookmaking.
Limiting our view strictly to the his
toric period, we find. as has been said,
the five types of books in general use.
We have now to consider briefly the
distinguishing characteristics OF each
of these types before going on to note
the steps of development through
which the modern book was evolved.
First let US give attention to the
papyrus roll of the Egyptians. AS has
been said, this type Of books was en-
ployed in Egypt from the earliest day
Of the historical period. AS is well
known. papyrus is species of prim-
tive peper-the word paper" being,
indeed, a derivative of "papyrus"-
which was made of strips Of the papy-
rus plant placed together to form two
thin layers, the flbers Of one crossing
those of the other, and the whole made
into thin. firm sheet with the aid Of
glue and mechanical pressure. The
strips OF papyfus were usually from
eight to IA inches in width, and from
few feet to several yards in length.
This scroll was not used, as might
perhaps have been expected. for the in
sertion of a single continuous column
Of writing. A moments consideration
viii make it clear that such a method |
would have created difficulties both
for the scribe and for the reader;
therefore the much more convenient
method was adopted Of writing lines
! few inches in length, so placed as
o form transverse columns, which fol-
owed one another in regular sequence
rom the beginning to the end Of the
'croll.-Harper's Magazine.

Cripple Greek. Colo, Aug. 11.-A
committee of five men went to the
home of George Sheidt last night fol
the purpose of deporting him. After
the men had gained entrance to the
house Sheidt began shooting at them
The fire was returned by one Of the
members of the party and dozen
shots were exchanged. No one was

finally retired.
oficers made a search for the five
men but failed to locate them. They
took Sheidt to the city Jail, where he
will be kept for protection.
Rev. T. S. Leland, pastor Of the
Methodist Episcopal church of Vic
tor, who has been taking an active in
terest in the troubles in the district,
has been ordered out Of camp. He has
notified his friends and officers of the
law who have rallied to his support
His house is being guarded by a num-
Der of armed men on the inside and
deputy sheriffs on the outside. A COM
mittee Of several men was on the way
to his home last night when they
learned Of the situation and immediate
" departed. 1t is supposed to be the

night.
Thomas HI. Parafet. ex-manager OF
the Cripple Greek union store and a
Mr.. Hall who was ordered out of the
district, have asked protection from
the sheriff. Parafet was placed in a
room in the county jail.
The sheriff's Office is making every
effort to find some clue to the identity
OF the deporters of Harper but no tan
gible evidence has been secured as yet.
A new alliance is being formed in the
district for the purpose, 1t is reported |
Of taking the middle ground between
the Western Federation OF Miners and
the Citizens Alliance. The promoters
Of the new movement are securing
signatures of business men who do
not favor the deportation of men with

CONCESSION OF WIRE MEN.
Important Action Of Manufacturers on
Price to Jobbers.


Cleveland, Aug. 1.-THE Iron Trade
Review this week says
The deal by which the Pittsburg
Steel Company bought 10000 tons Of
bessemer pig iron and arranged with
the Republic Iron & Steel Company to
convert it into steel has overshadowed
all other developments in the iron trade
the past week. The fact that the con-
tract is not so greatly different from
that which the same interest made last
year, both being based on the price of
bessemer iron, makes 1t less sensa-
tional in its probable effect than has
been assumed in some quarters. What
is significant about it is that steel will
be delivered at Monessen in the next
10 months at cost to the buyer of
$4.25 less than the delivered price of
billet pool which is s235O. This means
the estimate of new level for steel.
No meeting of the association has been
held in New York as reported but an
investigation committee has had ses-
sions at Pittsburg and some official
action may result.
The appointed meeting of wire man.
ufacturers was held at Chicago and the
concession of 81 ton that has been
granted large jobbers in wire and wire
nails for some time was made regular.
Structural business that has been
discussed for some time is coming to
the contract stage.
A Boston store calls for 5000 tons.
Bridge work for the Detroit Southern
represents 1000 tons. The Chicago ele-
vated work for the south side is about
to be let and will require $4,000 tons,
possibly 10000, while the Duquesne
elevated contract, Pennsylvania road,
5000 tons, will be awarded any day. |
The Lackawanna Steel Company has
taken 5000 tons of structural shapes
for Chicago work and its appearance
as a bidder is a special interest since
it is not a member of the beam pool.
The pig iron market has shown little
actual change, though in the Mahoning
and shenango valleys sentiment has
been better in view of recent business
taken by merchant furnaces. Ohio
furnaces have sold at s1175 at furnace
for No. foundry and this has been

POLICEMAN ARRESTED.
Rounded Up With Midnight stroIIers
in the Metropolis.

i
Portland Journal: Special Police
man Jack Hoare, brother of ex-Police
Captain Tim Hoare, was arrested by
Patrolman Stuart during the raid on
Monday night, when every one in the
north end who could not or would not
tell straight story was "pinched" by
the police by special order of the chief.
Hoare is one of the best known Of
flcers in the city, but was not an ac-
quaintance Of Policeman Stuart, and
when placed under arrest submitted
meekly and went to the central sta
ton with the officer. He was quickly
released when Sergeant Slower caught
a glimpse of his smiling countenance.
The first relief of police Monday
night went forth from the central sta
ton determined to dare or do. Their
chief had bade them go out into the
highways and hedges and compel peo-
pie to come into the city jail, that 1t
might be full, and they did. Every
man met by an officer was put through
rigid course of questions and If he
faltered a second in his answers he
was nabbed and hurried off to head
quarters.
When Patrolman Stuart met spe-
cial Policeman Hoare, he stopped him
and asked him his name and business.
Hoare saw an opportunity for some
fun and became very reticent. He was
quickly run in." When the identity
OF the man he had arrested was re-
vealed to Stuart, he nearly tainted.
