sCiIWAB AND VANADHuM.

Charles NJ. schwab, who has just
returned from Europe, talks in a very
confident way about a working agree
ment that includes the United States
steel Corporation and the steel com
panies Of Belgium. Germany ana Rus-
sia.
lie says hat the men Interested In
the agreement control practically
an the yanadlum in the world. and
are thus able to hold the steel situa-
ton IN their hands. as the expert
ments at the Betntehem works have
proved That the Vanadium process VIII

great companies have been aiming at
Vanadium rs being used largely in
s~pecialtles, such as the manufacture
Of automobiles and tools. but 1t is TO
be had in such quantities that the
process can be used IN making steel
for every purpose for which steel can
be used"
It would not be surprising, says the
Chicago Record-Heraid e Nj.
nchWab were talking In part at least
for business reasons Of his own rather
than from a desire to |enlighten ga

and economic interest. But. taking h.

the forecast of a perfect trust Tlr

entirely and meet occasionally to de-
eide on the tribute that must be paid

little vanadium left in odd corners

eminent and protected among the
natural resources Of various countries.
At any rate, the Interview is likely

THE EVIDENCE OF TT.


n is not necessary for us to ga far
or search diligently to find evidence
of the unpopulority Of the Andrews
candidacy for denomination or to seek
for evidence Of the fear Of all repub-
LEANS and the conviction Of many that
he can not possibly be elected, should
his nomination be forced upon the
party.
There Is the evidence IN san Juan
county. a meeting waa called for the
organization OF a republican club In
Pennington. Immediately after the
meeting was organized 81 was an
%nouneed that the organization had
been formed In the interest Of the
Andrews candidacy Immediately thir-
ty-fiye out OF forty-five men present
left the meeting ana proceeded to or
ganize q Taft club
II Mr. Andrews had strength with
the rank and file; II ne had a vestige
of popularity or standing with the re-
publicans OF san Juan county this
thing could not have occurred, Aud
It should be- kept In mind that II oc-
CURED Just on the eve of the dele
gates visit to san Juan county.
This incident gathers Importance
from the fact that san Juan county
Is a republican county, and IS stead
lily becoming a stronger republican
county because the large immigration
TO that section is from republican
states. With the vast increase IN
democratic strength ~ southeast New
Mexico. It would certainly seem our
duty 10 do what We can to preserve
the standing Of the party in those
sections Whcre republican strength Is
increasing
The people Of san Juan county do
not want Andrews. II Is plain that
" he is nominated that county viii
not give him IA majority. and while
the san Juan county vote is small. yet
this election is going 10 be one IN
which every vote counts. There IS a
remnant of the old machine In san
Junn county Andrews knows how to
use a political machine. even a rem
Of one. as has been shown by
steady use of the Hubbcll REM
nnnt. He is a shrewd manipulation.
That Is his busincss-to manipulate
machines. lie doesn't know anything
else. Put him on a plane where he
has to appeal to men of brains who
think and who are guided by other
Than personal political interests. and
he is as helpless as "a snowbird on the
equator tie may be able to so manip-
ulatc the san Juan county remnant as
90 get an endorsement or even an in
structed delegation. At this time II
does not seem likely that he viii sue
coed. In any event the sentiment
among the rank aud file IN san Juan
county has beer clearly shown An
drews D. not wanted, ana il is no pas
siVr d-isinclination ON the part Of the
voters. Il is a positive, |bclligercnt re-
sentiment against the effort TO force

county is just one of twenty-five couu-
Ties in Sew Mexico. In every county
the feeling among the rank aud file of
republican voters is the same.

a REJECTED OLIVE bnANcu,

A week ago Mr.. William Jennings

lam Randolph Hearst one OF tAa
greenest olive branches ever plucscl
in a political garden. He said edi'p-
rally IN his "Commoncr:"
The republican papers are quick
TO assume that Mr. Hearst win OPP
pose tho democratic ticket. They
ought to give Mr.. Hearst credit for
having made a fight for certain well
defined reforms and they ought to
give him credit for sincerity in advo-
eating those reforms.
Mr.. Hearst could hardly be expect
ed to In advance of the 9th

to be done, out It VIII be remembered
that In 1904 he was a candidate IN the
democratic convention after the adop-
ton of the platform written that year

Carp Had Ring I'm Midst.

From the New York World.
William Pudney. a bridge tender on
the Passaic river at Bcllville, y. j.,
has burglar alarms on his fish lines
and is aroused frequently in the night
by bites. Early yesterday morning he
pulled ur German carp. OF all the
fish that inhabit the garbage waters
Of the Passaic only the German carp
is blank. SO the bridge tender swore
softly to hirself at the false alarm.
Worse and more Of it. the carp had
swallowed the hook and he had to use
his knife to release 1t.
To his surprise he found a diamond
ring In the carp's stomach. James
Gibbs heard the story and told OF n
ring a woman had lost from the
White bridge last summer. He gave
the initials on the band and PudneY.
the honest bridge tender, finding these
same Initials. gave up the ring. The
woman Is in Albany. n bride, and tho
ring was her engagement gift.

From the Macon Telegraph.
Down on Bridge Row yesterday ae-
ternoon negro walked into one Of

&, he' made the inquiry i" " e0nhdsn''''

and his left eye closed.
Iherc was 4 closing Of the sama
eye of the eating house man, and as
ne assumed the same confidential tone
he said:
"Cose dey is eff yer got de cash."
The anxious inquirer pulled out a
half dollar, which, if closely inspect
ed, would have revealed cross
scratched under the eagles beak. Thi,
was handed over the counter ana
went into tho pocket OF the eating
house man. who disappeared.
in five minutes he rcappeared with
something wrapped up in a piece OF
newspaper. Two minutes later the
anxious inquirer had unwrapped the
package and found q pint flask cram
med full Of grains Of corn.
He reported the case to Officer Rob-
inson, who told him that he could not
make the eating house man return
his marked coin nor could he make
any kind Of case against him. He
was giving a half dollar for a pint OF
corn according to contract, and that
was all there was to it.
The negro. however, took the view
that he had been swindled, but the Of
nicer couldn't see it and the matter
was dropped, but the chuckle of the
eating house man was as loud as the
rattle Of his dishes.

DIR. T.. r.. lIlGHSMIIH GETS VAL.
UABLE PATENT.
Steel Drills May Now BE Used Imste adj
I" Diamond Oncs-The Advantages
of the Invention Over the Usual
Methods Ct Drilling Lens and Other
Glasses.

DR.. z. F. HighLmith, an optician Of
this city, after about three years Of
ctudy ard experimenting. has recciv-
ed patent for a very valuable ma
chine, lens drilling apparatus. in
which a steel drill is used in the place
of an expensive diamond one rs used
now. The finished apparatus is a
very handsome piece Of mechanism
and shows the result Of much brain
work and patient experimenting on
the part Of DR.. Highsmith. The ap-
paratus may be run by any kind Of
power.
The points in favor Of this valuable
Invention are these: A steel drill costs
only about 10 cents, diamond drill
about SIG. The steel drill cuts a hole
through the glass in about /: seconds
ny electric power and in AZ seconds
by hand. This includes the turning Of
the lens in order to finish the hole
on the other side. A diamond drill
carnot cut hole but only half way
through the glass and takes from 3
&c 5 minutes. Again, the hole cut by
the steel drill is shaped in such q.
manner that screw fitted into it will
not breek the glass so easily il it Is
pressed upon. while a hole cut by a
diamond drill viii. be shaped so rs to
permit it easily breaking the glass il
the inserted screw is only lightly
pressed upon. A steel drill can be
sharpcned within about two minutes.
while a diamond one has to be sent
to regular diamond sharpener, Or
lal'idary. and will probably take Two
or three weeks in the operation. The
former drill will last a great deal
longer than diamond one in point
of usage. A diamond drill! REQUIRES
from 1000 to $500 revolutions per
minute to cut hole while the steel
drill requires no such rapidity OF mo-
tion or consequent wear and tear on
'~s~ AAhoSAShCAy ouN UdUuS.
Dr.. Highsmith's invention is opc
rated with a syrating motion of the
surface on which the lens lies whe,.
being bored, and this is the great Sc
cret Of his success. Only ordinary
turrentlnc was used in oiling the
drills in making the holes in the
above named time. The working OF
the machine must be seen t.. be fully
appreciated.
The inventor has sold the rights for
the patent to A B. Stuckey. Esq. Of
this city, for nine foreign countries.
DIR. Hfgh3mith is to b. congratu
lated on his success and deserves the
rich reward he will receive in consc-
quencc Of this invention. The patent,
alsu. covers a similar method Of hor-
ing holes in plate glass window panes
and show case glasses, &c.

nave not as yet secured subscriptions
to the requisite number OF shares to
complete the authorized capital stock
and put the company on a solid basis.
Stockholders and others who have
nenehtted from the establishment Of
the Mutual Ice company will be acting
contrary to their own and the public
interest if they fail to subscribe for
every share of the $50 shares needed
to complete the capital stock. Unless
this stock Is taken it will be impossi-
bic to continue the Mutual Ice COM
pany on the present basis and the
result will be that Sumter will have
to get along without cheap ice. Those
stockholders who are indifferent to
the continuance Of the Mutual Ice
company may be able to afford tn.
loss of their small stock investment,
but the question is, can they afford
to pay high prices for ice? If they
let the Mutual Ice factoly pass out of
their control, there will be no more
cheap ice for Sumter. II the $50
shares arc taken up by stockholders or
others who want cheap ice. the fu-
lure success OF the enterprise is guar
antced and they will have an invest
,nent that will pay dividend Of eight
TO ten per cent. annually--evcn
though the company does no better
In future than it has in the past two
years.
Those who wan, cheap ice and. arc

SEWERAGE lAABORERS ARR RE.
TURNING I'd WORK.
Two Gangs Working With Full Force
Today and Another Has Almost a
Full Complement Of Hands


The strike Of the sewerage laborers
is already peterlng out and those Of
the old hands who do not return to
work at once Will be replaced by new
men who are applying for work. Ycs,
terday two full gangs went to work
at the usual hour and a third fore
man reported that he had practically
a full force with which to resume
work at noon. The other foreman Will
probably be able TO resume work with
full forces today. 1t Is thus seen
that the strike has amounted tu very
little and the effort to tie-up the work
on tho sewerage system has failed.
IN the event that the strike had a.
sumed serious proportions and had
been protracted for many days the
sewerage commission had under con-
sideration a proposition from a Chi
cagO construction company to install
trenching machines to excava,e the
bitches thereby dispensing with
ninety per cent. Of the coinnon la
borers. BY the use Of trenching ma
chimes the work can be done. 1t Is
claimed. at about the same cost as
by hand. and II the men who have
been doing the work refuse tc stay on
the job at the wages offered them II
will become necessary to resort to
the use OF more modern methods thar
the pick and shovel and the machines
will be put 10 work. The commits
sion prefers to employ home labor
and to pay out tho city's nionoy u
homo people. but IL local laoorers
wont work for tho price the commis-
sion can AFFORD t" pay there will be
no other alternative than to resort to
the use Of trenchins machines
