Hamlin disputed the leadership with
him, and Holmes attempted to crush
his young opponent by coarseiy ridicul-
ing his swarthy complexion. Instantly
Hamlin Jumped TO his feet and, point
ing hts finger at Holmes, retorted: "If
tho gentleman chooses to find fault
with me for my complexion, what has
he to say about himself? I take my
complexion from nature. He gets hts
from the brandy bottle. Which ss

greeted with great applause and cries

Hamlin then continued, pointing his
finger at Holmes: 81 will also tell tbs
member from Alfred that he is mora
conspicuous for trying to run dryshod
over young men than for trying to en-
courage them. But as long as they
are trne to themselves and to nature

SELECTIONS
A MECHANICAL FEAT.

Saving q Stone House In Two With a
Steel Cord.
They have just performed an ex-
traordinary feat Of mechanical engi-
neering in an extraordinary way In
Paris. 1t became necessary to isolate
the electric plant In the Rue st.
Roch from the houses that adtoin 1t
because of the incessant tremor which
its vast dynamOs sent through these
houses. The founda lions and the ia
cade were continuous masonry, but
the side walls were separate. So only
the heavy piers Of the foundations and
the stones of the facade had to be
considered. Tearing down was impos-
sible, at least so far as the basement
was concerned. So Mr.. Friese, the
companys architect, conceived the
idea Of saving the buildings apart.
Every one is familiar with the cord
that Is used for cutting butter and
soap, but most people will be astonish-
ed when told that there is also cord
for cutting stone. This is used in
saving blocks of marble. 1t is an
endless spiral cord Of steel wire, draw
ing with it wet sand, the friction OF
which cuts rock This is just what
was used for saving the electric plant
away from the adjacent buildings.
An elaborate framework was erected
upon the sidewalk, with pulleys and
counterbalancing weights and travel
ing motor A we'll was dug to receive
the water and sand and pipe to con-
vey it. A horizontal hole was bored
at the top of each pier of the founda-
ton. and the steel cord was threaded
through these so as to work upon all
at once The motor which operated
the cord descended with it as fast as
it cut the masonry. About every TWEEN
ty hours the cord was worn out, and
a new one had to be substituted. It
cut between three and four inches an
hour. When the masonry had been
cut all the way down a second cut
was made two inches from the first,
thus leaving layer of stone which It
was easy to break away, and so the
walls were separated from their neigh
bors by clean space Of two inches.
In a similar way the facade was cut
away. There was no interruption of
work or damage to the buildings

Millions of Acres Remain.

Though it has given away whole en-

been robbed of millions Of acres by
land "grafters," the United States gov
eminent still holds 754, 1876, 296 acres
OF public lands. This would give ev-

try nearly ten acres apiece. How
ever, nearly half Of this land is in
Alaska-36S,02 500 acres of it-and
probably will not be of great value
Tor years to come. But enough of it
remains in the western states to ac-

DISCOVER IRON NEAR vINToN.
Deposit Likely to Be Developed II 1t
Is Large Enough.

Special to nes-Republican.
Vinton, March 2S.--John Rogers,
Colorado mine owner and miner. has
discovered strong indications of iron on
a farm northeast of Vinton. While on
a visit here he made a careful exam
ination of the surface formations in the
surrounding country, and has come
upon what he considers to be evidence
of iron along the bluff country, two
miles east of Vinton. The water OF
that particular locality bears out Mr..
Rogers statement as there is evidence
of much iron or lead in it. 1t has de-
post which strongly resembles rust,
and 1t tastes strongly of iron or some
other mineral. Mr.. Rogers has no
question in his mind as to there being
ore in the earth there, but there IS a
doubt in his mind whether or not there
would be sufficient quantities to war
rant the excavation of it, 1t is under
stood that before leaving Ninton it is
hts intention to go further into the
examination and ascertain whether or
not there is large enough deposit to
go into the development of it.
