been unable even to bury my dead on

CLOTH FROM BARK.
An African Product That Is Capable
Of Many Uses.

Of Many Uses.
Consul E. G. Eager OF Bremen is in
formed that the recent visit to tina.
city of resident of New York city
who has discovered the wide POSSIBLE
tiles of native product bark clotn
has exerted a lively interest among
importers, manufacturers and the Ger
man government. The consul writes:
This product is bark peeled
from an east African tree and pound
ed by the natives into cloth in pieces
of from two to two and a half yards
in width and four to six yards in
length. The tree is of the genus
fiscus. and grows, it is said. in mex
haustible quantities all over central
and east Africa. The most interest
ing feature of the bark seems to be
the good spinning possibilities OF its
fiber. Although the staple is rather
short, there is no reason why it
should not spin and make an admir-
able mixture with wool for felting or
other purposes. The crude bark can
be treated so as to yield the fiber
readily without injury.
"As the tree in question can be
easily propagated and is not kille..
by stripping off the bark, but permits
this process for fifty or more success
sive years, it is readily seen that this
bark product will become commod-
ity of considerable possibilities. This
bark cloth has been on the American
market for some time, as have seen
articles manufactured from 1T, such
as ladies' shopping bags, card cases.
book covers, caps and hats, table
covers, embroidered mats, etc. 1t
will be used extensively in Germany
by many different manufacturers on
account of its novelty and of the
cheapness for making innumerable
articles Tor the masses.
Il find that similar trees yielding a
bark used by the natives for cloth
grow almost everywhere south of the
equator in South America, East India,
South Sea Islands and also in our
own possessions, the Philippines.
think it of Importance to call the At
tention of our manufacturers to the
wonderful possibilities of this bark
and bark cloth. Boston Transcript.

DOG TRAVELS AS SALESMAN.

Dogs have ben taught to erform
many kinds of labor, but so far as is
known there is only one dog that acts
in the capacity OF travelling sales

dianapolis correspondent.
Yet this is exactly what Rex does
nearly every working day OF his life,
and he does 1t we'll He knows every
town where there are customers and

Rex really does the principal part
o, the travelling and his master, Miles
M. Goodwin, sells the goods. The
master is blind, but with the travelling
ability OF Rex he is able to cover his
territory az he did before he lost his
sight. Rex Is his masters eyes.
Goodwin lives at New Castle. near
here, and the story OF hig affliction is
pathetic. He was a handsome, we'll
built young man and popular every
where he went. He made friends and
WAS successful salesman. For eleven
years he sold clothing on the road for
an eastern firm. Then blindness came
upon him. A few years ago he was
stricken with atrophy OF Che optic
nerve and he lost his sight. He spent
years and large sums of money in try

gone forever.

ARTIFICIAL lcEMAKINc.
Five Million Tons Turned Out Yearly

Five Million Tons Turned Out Yearly
$50 ,0oo,0 in the Business.
Few American trades have grown
as rapidly in recent years as artificial
icemaking. The conditions of Ice
supply and the number of factories
requiring ice in enormous quantities
seem to promise a further extension
of the business. 1t Is limited to no
particular state, but has been most
generally and most largely developed
In the south.
In 1870 there were four artificial
icemaking plants in the United States.
In 1880 there were thirty five. In
1890 there were 200. In 1900 there
were 800. There are now consider
ably more than r,10J.
The capital invested In them is
more than $5O,000,0O0, and the
amount Of ice they turn out in a
year is in excess of 100000 tons, OF
which 1.500, 900 tons is manufactured
in the southern states.
The original artificial Ice plant es-
tablished in the United States was in
New Orleans In 1886, and the inten-
ton of its projectors was declared 10
be ITO supply artificial ice to the ter
ritory south Of the Ice line. which is
south Of the North Atlantic, New Eng
land, middle and northwestern states.
BY degrees ice plants have been es-
tablished in the territory supplied
with natural ice, breweries, hotels,
restaurants, packinghouses and hos
pitfalls having refrigerator plants

Bryan Rich Through Politics.
Bryan thinks it wrong to make
money out of politics. This boast of
his puts the stamp of insincerity all
over him. II Bryan thinlts i. wrong
to make money out of politics, he
should quit making money. Bryan
has not one dollar that he ever got
out of anything but politics. He
tried to be lawyer, he was a fail
ure at it. He tried to be a news
paper editor; he was a failure at
that.
He is now man of property. AS
fortunes go he is a rich man. He
made every dollar of his fortune out
OF politics as stepping stone to the
lecture platform. Bryan discovered
many years ago that he could make
his political prominence pay. He is a
shrewd advertiser and in his way a
clever business man. He has dis
covered that SO long as he is a can
didate for president and a possible
nominee, gifted with the ability to
weave flowing sentences into well
rounded periods. the public will come
to hear him at so much a head. He
is in politics because it helps the
gate receipts. Like actresses who
have discarded the stolen diamond
dodge for the greater publicity of the
divorce suit, Bryan will quit running
for president and will quit politics
just as soon as he discoves some
other form of advertising that will
bring more dollars to the box office
when he is announced to appear on
the stage"
Makes Proposition.
Reverting to Bryan's accusation OF
fraud in Sullivan's election to the
national committee, Sullivan makes
this challenge:
If | hold my position on the DEM
ocratic national committee by fraud
l ought to resign. If Bryan has false
ly accused me of proftting by fraud
then he ought to quit running for
president; because no man is fit to
be candidate for that high Office
who goes out in public and lies about
any member Of his party. Therefore
l propose that Bryan and l put the
issue as between us, up to the men
who sat as delegates in the Spring
field convention two years ago. Those
delegates are still living in Illinois;
they can all be found. Bryan said
that a majority of them were opposed
to me for national committeeman; he
has said that he had at ST. Louis let
tiers from more than half of those
delegates, in which they repudiated
the action of the convention which re-
suited in my becoming national COM
mitteeman. Let us poll these dele,
gates. Let us have this poll made
under the direction of the chief
justice of the supreme court of ILL
nois. If majority of those dele
gates will support Bryan's present
tention and will say l was elected
to the national committee by fraud.
then will resign from the national
committee. On the other hand
and this | contend is but fair pro
position-if majority of those dele.
gates of two years ago do not sup
port Bryan's allegation of fraud, then
! will insist that Bryan shall an
nounce that he will no longer be a
candidate for the presidency at the
hands of the democratic party. The
American people believe in fair play.
