This is the belief of Coroner Gilbert.
The coroner has come to this con-
clusion after exhuming yesterday the
body of the man who was killed last
Wednesday in the 500. yards, and
gives the following reasons for his
belief: ~ SxT ,g..4. a. ....... ~.

for exhuming early next morning the
body of the man supposed to be his

up the body yesterday and found it
far advanced in decomposition max
ing Identification very. difficult. Mr..
Ranney was provided with dentists

other marks by which Identification
could be made. None Of these marks
were found on the body Of the dead
man. Mr.. Ranney was convinced,
however, that the corpse is that Of
Herbert Blachley, young man who
left Columbus with his brother and
one Frank Lehman, bound for Seattle
BY working their way through as best
they could. + IT,. 2 r. ~ ~
Mr.. Ranney said that just before
he left home Lehman's folks had re-
ceived a letter from him dated at
Jamestown, reporting the party SO far
on their journey, since which time no
word has been. received from any OF
them, and the query arises: if this is
Blachley, why did they separate, and
how did the latter come to have on
his person the papers that belonged
to iRanney? This is partly explained
by Mr.. Ranney, who says his brother
and Blachley were great chums and
frequently carried each other'd eff
| fects, hut he cannot imagine how
Blaehley should be alone on this
branch of the 500 two or three days
after he was reported at Jamestown
1.-THE similarity in the sound Of the
name lBlachley and .Blackie," together
with the fact that the dead man had
been at jamestown at or before the

Ito thinking and noticed on the re.

BUILDING PROBLEM
SOLVED BY CEMENT
For Less Cost Than Lumber House Can Be Built of
Cement That Will Last Longer Than Steel

Unless all signs fail, one of the
greatest problems of the age has been
solved, that is, what will be the build
ing material of the future. The an
swer is cement.
But for cement many large building
operations would now be at a stand
still, for wood has become too ex-
pensive to be used in house construc-
ton, and the enforced waits for all
kinds Of structural steel virtually
eliminates that material where quick
work is desired.
Almost everything can be done with
cement, and with incredible swiftness
and cheapness Of price. The new
process, the mixing of cement, sand
and gravel with cinders or broken
stone, flooded with water from a hose,
Is being used to- build houses, raise
giant hotels, build the piers and
bridges for railroads, erect barns, lay
sidewalks, fix a girder or fashion a
chimney cap.
Almost anything is possible to the
new material.
Probably the best instance of work
ing against time with cement as a
medium is shown in the experience
of an Atlantic City hotel company.
They wanted structure 400 feet long,
125 feet wide and 1874 feet high. It
The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1906-10-06

was to be elaborate, and to have. ca
pacity for LEGO guests. Bids were
asked fora steel building, and not
only were the prices lofty, but the de-
lay in getting the Orders and other
structural parts made it certainty
that a couple of years must pass be-
fore the new hotel could be ready for
guests.
In this predicament the proprietors
had. recourse to the new process of
reinforced cement. The work went
with gratifying celebrity. In eight
months and three days, without the
loss of a life, the new hotel was com
pleted. It is work of genuine archi-
,tectural beauty, the pride of the City
by-the-Sea, and as great an expert as
Thomas Alva Edison, after going over
the entire structure from cellar to-
the Moorish dome, said that it was
the first perfect building he had ever
seen, and that it. was built of ma
terial destined to be the great staple
of the future
The concrete building solves the

question OF fire insurance. The under,
writer's who examined Atlantic City's
new model hotel were so well pleased
that they made a price 3 per cent
lower than for other hotels of the
same class.
The farmer or suburbanite, who
contemplates building a home, always
looks at the fire question thoroughly,
for in outlying districts there is little
facility for fighting flames, and once
they get hold, an inf1ammable build
ing is likely to be destroyed But a
home built of cement cannot burn,
for the reason that there is nothing to
be consumed except the interior fur
nishings, and enough insurance to
cover the cost of these decorations
and furnishings is really about ali
that is needed in such cases.
A Staten Island man who recently
put up cement house at cost of S.
875, a most elaborate and pretentious
country home, estimates that the out
lay would have been $4,000 greater
for a frame house; and with that
kind of building would have been the
ever present danger of total destruc-
ton by fire.
A cement house does away with all
need of plaster and lathing. Paper
can be put right over the walls, or, it

princess. She rejoices in everything
that is difficult, simply for the rea-
son that she knows that she is the
only woman in the world that can
wear difficult things. There will be
no competition. Other women are
not built for princess gowns, and for
effective empire costumes
AN English physical culturist has
invented some exercises which he
calls the empire exercises. He took
them to Paris, but he found that the
women there did not need them. And
now he has sent them to this country.
THE empire exercises are simple
enough. Put on something loose and
do this: Step forward and sink upon
knee. Regain your position and step
forward with the other foot and sink
upon the other knee. One foot goes
forward and the other knee bends.
That is the way to do it. The rule is
to keep on until you are pretty well
tired out.
1.-THE next of the empire exercises
consists in bending from side to side.
This is hard enough and most likely a
strain upon the muscles But the en-
thusiast can take hold of chair by
way of assistance and not bend too
far either way. The idea is, to bend
the body until it feels supple. The
more bends in moderation the better.
1.-THE neck must be small if one is
going to get the empire figure, and
this winter one must have this figure
even though one does not plan to
wear an empire gown. All dresses
are little shorter in the waist line.
and not word is heard about the
straight front.
"The exercises for the redemption
OF the throat are very pretty ones.
The head is thrown back and the
throat is exercised. This is practical
ly easy If one wants to do it. 1t'needs
nothing more than a strong and sup
pie pair of arms. For the head is
thrown back upon the arms and rest
ed there Then it is lifted and rested
again. Then it is thrown back again.
The French woman dresses her
her coiffeur very deliberately. Indeed
the French coiffeur is famous.
The French woman is utterly chic,
because she tries to be such. She
gives more time and thought to her.
dressing than any other woman.
The American woman will be near
er to being chic when she learns to
keep her figure down. Until then she
better stick to something plain. But
as soon as she realizes the Importance
of the waist line, then she can branch
out into the glories of the empire and
the svelte delights Of the princess.
But not before
The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1906-10-06

satin shoulderblades that make her
look twice as big as she is. Imagine
the French woman-should she ever
be SO unfortunate as to become stout
in a satin gown with her shoulders
shining and jet twinkling from every
pillowesque curve.
"The French woman studies her
mirror. The American woman never
does this.
The French woman dresses in
front of her glass. She gazes and
gazes, and she never puts on even so
small thing as bow of ribbon with
out first asking the glass if it is be-
coming. She never tructs her own
senses; she asks the looking glass.
"The French woman loves to wear
trying styles simply because she
knows she can do so. She goes in for
the empire modes, and she loves the

preferred, they can be frescoed or
otherwise decorated
Building such a house does not re-
quire much expert labor The army
Of metal workers, bricklayers, carpen-
tiers and other artisans required in
wood or steel construction, is almost
completely done away with on a &C.
ment building. All that is needed is
an expert to superintend the mixing
OF the cement, and a carpenter and
staff to construct the molds or frame
work into which the soft cement is
poured.
Once a cement house is finished
the work is done, and done to stay,
according to all natural laws. In a
century the building ought to be in
as good shape as ever. There is moth
ing to rot or fall into need of repairs.
The building does not have to be
painted yearly as in. the case Of wood,
Or gone over for rust as in the case
of steel.
The foundations and pillars never

While the building of low-priced
concrete houses is still in it's infancy,
the farmer has been SO impressed
with the idea that he is extending it
to his barns and outbuildings, and
finding that it works admirably.
The big railroads are all adopting
the cement bridge. It is cheaper,
more enduring, more quickly erected,
and it releases the builders from

put of cement now and eight years
ago. In 1897 this country produced
about a million and a half barrels.
Last year this had grown to twenty
six and a half Million and the total
for 1906 will exceed even this great
amount
Fortunately the supply is virtually
unlimited. The Lehigh Valley region
in Pennsylvania alone can turn out
twenty million barrels year indef.
nitely.
Cement was found in this country
as early as 1850, and was first used
by the lehigh Valley Coal and Naviga-
tion company.
The great Pennsylvania cement belt
extends from Fogelsville, Lower Mac
ungie, to the Lehigh Valley river at
Caplay. It runs in northeasterly
direction, and is the same belt that
later crops out in New Jersey. One
company alone employs an army of
some 21,000 men in connection with
the manufacture of it's cement. There
are five prominent companies, and
their investment is constantly being
increased, for the demand for cement
