Women suffragists made the
opening of parliament in London
today very lively affair. They
invaded the lobby, buttonholed
members and harangued from
chairs and sofas. When the police
tried to eject them they fought and
screamed, and before they were all

though they had been through a
Hyde Park riot The palace yard
was filled with fragments of cloaks
and millinery, torn off in the

women created SO much trouble
that they were arrested in the
street for disturbing the peace.
LONDON, October 23.-Unusual ex-
element I'M connection with the reopen
ing Of parliament today was caused by
the presence of about 100 woman suf-
fragists many Of whom, despite the pro-
tests of the police, managed to find their
way into the outer lobby of the house
of commons with the intention or but

lobby and began to harangue the few

invaders, taking the women singIy, and
gradually ejecting them, one by one,
from the house. The most militant of
the women struggled so desperately that
two officers were required to remove
them. Their hysterical shouting and
screaming brought crowds of members
from the house, and the unwontej scene
created temporary excitement such as
has seldom been witnessed in or about
the house
During the height of the-tumult small
band of the stanchest suffragists deter
mined to attempt to break into the House
itself, and as though by concerted action,
this band suddenly charged toward the en-
trance Of the inner lobby Some of the
women tried to climb over the barrier. and
others attempted to crawl under 1t. For
several minutes the utmost disorder pre-
vailed and the police had all they could do
to eject the stern, determined women with

NEW KIND OF MAINE SLATE
Bed o. Superior Material Recsntly
Uncovered In Somerset
County.

A new variety Of slate has been dis
covered by Prof. T. Nelson Dale, Of the
United States geological survey, in the
town Of Forks, Somerset county, In een-
trail Maine, between the Kennebec and
Piscataquis rivers.
The slate crops out In the bed CT
Holly Brook, where 1t is exposed for a
thickness Of 30 feet or more across the
cleavage. The nearest railroad Is the
Somerset railway extension at Mos
quito Narrows, six miles distant.
The slate Is blush black and fine OF
texture, with a cleavage surface which
shows less luster than that OF the
Brownville slate, but Is still bright. 1t
Is graphite, contains a very small
amount Of magnetic, has no argilla-
ceous odor, does not effervesce In cold
dilute hydrochloric acid, is sonorous
and Is readily perforated. The ledge
does not show discoloration nor do frag-
ments that have been exposd for 10
years.
The constituents Of this slate, ar
ranged In the order Of their abundance,
appear to be muscovite, quartz, chlorite'
pyrite and graphite, with accessory
tourmaline, zircon and rutile. This
Pleasant Pond slate, to name 1t after the
nearest topographic feature, would
prove suitable either for roofing or mill
stock purposes. Another ledge Of sim
liar slate has been exposed by trench
ing about a third Of a mile away, but
this slate shows some false cleavage, at
least at the surface. Should that fea-
ture continue into the mass the slate
would have little or no commercial
value. The slate of the Holly Brook
outcrop Is free from that undesirable

Mixing.

During the days of slavery the mix
ing of the races in the South was uni.
VersaL There was no man of property
hardly in all the land but had his Col
ored concubines. This was especial
" true as to men of political pIomi-
hence. 1t will be remembered by ED
erly people that Johnson of Kentucky,
candidate for the Vice-Presidency had
quite a large family by mis- Colored
wife. Gov. Walker Of Louisiana had a
Colored wife and several children. The
writer knew him well, lived near him
in Rapides Parish, La. About one-third
of the white population of that region
was mixed. There were about two hun
dred mulato planters and twenty-one
black planters in the South among the
slaves. 1t often happened that a rich
planter, being unmarried, would leave
all his estate to one favorite slave.
In Rapides Parish a very rich planter
left all to black man who put all on
the market at once and left the coun-
try for Tennessee, his native home. 1t
was regarded as a matter of course
that the slave women must submit to
the superior race"
The truth is the present generation
can have not the faintest idea of the
intimate relations that existed between
whites and their slaves in those times.
In a very few years more our uulf
States must have been as mixed as a..
the West indies. The pure white would
have been almost eradicated and the
stronger blood must have outnumbered
them in the census Of 1900.

rcE COATING FOR WARMTH
Fruit Cars Covered with Sheet Of
Frozen Water to Preserve
Contents.

The use of ice for heating purposes
is one of the oddities of our modern civ
ilization. 1t often happens that a train
carrying fruit from South America to
the northern states encounters a spell
Of cold weather en- route. If the tenn
perature goes below a certain point the
perishable merchandise will be ruined.
But it has been ascertained that such a
misfortune may be prevented by cover
ing the fruit car with coating of ice
a thing easily accomplished by turning
hose upon it and allowing the water 10
freeze, until the whole vehicle is envei-
oped in CLASSY and glittering blanket.
1t may, indeed, be appropriately
called blanket, inasmuch as it prevents
the radiation of heat from the interior Of
the car. The ice being a good non-con-
ductor, the warmth is retained, and the
fruit, or possibly 1t may be vegetables,
goes on its way unspoiled even by zero
weather.
Some trucks used for transporting
oranges are often fitted with lice
stoves" which, while useful during hot
weather as refrigerators, are filed with
Ice during the cold weather.

TREASURE-LADEN BURROS.
Train Of Donkeys Loaded with Gold
Fall Into Mexican River
and Are Lost.

The American owners of the Guada-
lupe de los Reyes mines, situated in tbs
state of SinalOa, are still mourning the
loss of 100000 of gold and silver bullion
which was lost several months ago in
a remarkable manner, relates the Mex
lean Herald. The train of donkeys, load
ed with bullion, were on their way 10
Mazatlan, at which point the precious
cargoes were to be shipped TO San Fran
cisco by water.
The animals were going along mar
row trail bordering high above the
Piaxtla river, when the roadway, soft
ened by the rains, suddenly caved into
the river, the animals and bullion and
a number of the Mexican drivers dis
appearing in the current.
AS soon as the news Of the heavy loss
reached the owners OF the mines, large
force Of men was sent out to search for
the treasure, a search that has been in
progress for some time, but not a single
bar of the bullion has been recovered.
II is supposed that the animals with
their freight were swept down the river
into the Pacific ocean The hunt for the
bullion is still on, and a group Of en-
ployes Of the mines are patroling the
river day and night for a distance Of
more than 100 miles, to keep outsiders
from searching and getting away with
the treasure.
