MRS. BIRD SEGLE INQUIRE, wife
IVA of the dean of the delegation rep
resenting in congress the new state of
Oklahoma, has the unique reputation
for being the best campaigner of her
sex in the official circle at the national
capital. 1t is even claimed that to
her tact and cleverness is due no
slight part of her husbands political
success. The voting records of Okla
homa as a territory seem to bear out
this claim, for they tell of his winning
his first public office by majority of
two, the year in which the lady who
was destined to become his wife, but
who was then unknown to him, cast
her maiden vote along with that of
her mother, for him as district attor-
ney of the county in which they both re-

Houdoun statue. If such a step shall
be found to jeopardize the beauty or
safety of the precious bit of marble,
a modified copy of the work will be
made. Experts will be requested to
make a careful examination of the fig
ure and make a report on what is best
to be done.
The Houdoun statue is said to be
the finest piece of art work in the
United States. It is supposed to rep
resent the exact lineaments and fea-
lures of the greatest of all Virginians
and Americans. 1t is said by experts
to be better likeness of Gen. Wash
ington than any photograph. The
statue is one of the principal attrac.
tions of Richmond. The statue stands
alone, surrounded by an iron balus'
trade. Every care is taken to pre-
serve it intact from the ravages OF
time. 1t could not possibly be re-
placed should any accident happen
to 1t.
Only once has it been taken from
its place in all the years that it has
stood there. Two years ago certain
artists, working under bond, were EN-
powered to take the statue down and
clean it. This was the first time that
the Father of His Country had had
his face washed in an hundred years
The statue was then cleaned and rem
ovated and replaced intact. 1t will
now stand for another hundred
years.

CONSTRUCTING the Mecca Railroad.

The Mecca railroad is being con-
structed rapidly. solidly and method
Ically. Foreigners are employed in
positions of leadership and manage
ment. BY imperial orders 1t is now
proposed to complete the line from
Medina to Mecca, a distance Of $50
miles, before the next pilgrimage
q. e., in about year,, also to con-
struct a railroad from Mecca to Mount
Arafat, distance of IL miles. Mount
Arafat and the religious ceremonies
annually conducted there, during each
pilgrimage, possess such an impor'
lance In the eyes of the pilgrims that
they all endeavor to reach that noun
tain of sacrifice. Last year the mum
ber ef Mecca pilgrims was officially
estimated at aS0.000.-Consular Re

Duncan was then doin" basineSS. and
there was no money in :he Spring
City Bank to pay the check. Il is
alleged that the check Was drawn by
the American Lime Company at the
instance of 7. {. Duncan. who is sup
posed to have been the head Of that
company.
It is stated thai there are other
transactions Of similar nature in
volving an amount Of about nine
thousand dollars. Since the People S
Bank went into the hands Of receiv-
erS a few months ago the receivers
have made several efforts to adjust
these matters. but without avail, and
the warrant was sworn out by one Of
them.
It is understood that Duncan's I'M
dertakings and investments at Spring
City, where he has been operating
for several years. have turned out
badly, and the American Lime Com
pany, which figures in these alleged
fraudulent transactions, is thought to
be bankrupt. Unless this case is ad-
justed it is probable that similar ac-
ton will be taken with reference to
the other transactions.

COTTON MILL INDUSTRY
CLOSED IN MANCHESTER.
More Than Four Hundred Mills Have
Shut Down-Dispute Over the
Wage Scale.

Manchester, Eng, Sept. 2l.-More
than 400 cotton mills in Lancashire
are idle today as a result Of the dis
pute over wages between operatives
and employers. This means that 49,
100000 spindles are wholly or partl-
ally stopped, that more than $780,
100000 Of capital is not bringing IN
any return, and that 100000 opera
tives are without work and losing
something over 100000 in wages a
week. In view Of the present condl-
ton Of the market. it is not felt here
that the strike will last long, for the
card room workers are expected soon
to take a second ballot and agree to
the 5 per cent. reduction in wages,
which already has been accepted by
the spinners.

Pine Oil And It's Uses.

\ striking example Of a seemingly
useless waste product Of the forest
which has developed into marke-
table commodity of no small import
ance is what is known as pine oil.
The crude wood turpentine obtained
from the steam distillation Of GER
tain species Of pine must be refined
with considerable care before it can
be sold IL competition with gum
spirits, the true turpentine Of COM
merce. By redistillation with steam
this crude product is usually separatt-
ed into two substances. The first.
which is the larger fraction. consists
almost entirely Of the product known
technically as ''pinene.' This close
ly resembles gum turpentine except
for a barely perceptible difference in
odor. The other fraction is a pro-
duct somewhat thicker and heavier
than turpentine. with yellow color
and a very pleasant odor. This is
known as ''pine oil"
Formerly this by-product had no
market and was either burned or
sold for almost nothing in order to
get rid Of it. It was realized how
ever, that it was extremely poor busl-
ness to waste three or more gallons
of oil for every cord Of wood without
knowing certainly whether the oil
was of value. and it was clearly up
to the chemist to find uses for pine
oil. and to the salesman to create a
market.
Pine oil is noM sold in tank car
lots to manufacturers Of roofing
paints and varnishes. Considerable
quantities are consumed in the manu-
facture of insulating materials, p,etal
polishes. and cheap perfume. 1t has
been found to yield very cheaply
"terpene hydrate. - drug which at
present is manufactured by some
what costly methods. Pine oil has al
so been suggested as al excellent
solvent for varnish gums for the pro-
duction Of light colored varnishes.
Further investigation may even lead
to its use as a raw material in the
production Of artificial camphor.
Thus. from a worthless product,
pine oil has so much increased in
value that refined grades may now
be sold for from 40 to 50 cents gal
lon. The very lowest grades sell for
about 10 cents a gallon.
