THROWING RED.HoT RvETs.
Spectacular Exhibition by Ironworkers
in a New York Building.

Where they are building the largest
apartment hotel in the world. at
Eighty-Sixth and Eightyseventh
streets. Amsterdam avenue and Broad
way, there is a daily exhibition of the
skill with which the ironworkers sling
about redhot rivetS.
Not only 90 the singers have to
throw the redhot rivets almost half the
length of the building but they also
have to pitch them up through the
framework for two or three stories.
From the street below you can see
the bright fires burning in the portable
furnaces. The Singer is armed with
a long pair of tOngs. About 80 feet
away stands another man with a little
wooden key. He is situated so that he
can conveniently keep the iron work
ers supplied with rivets. He has four
or five sets of ironworkers to watch,
and to keep them supplied all the time
keeps the man with the key on the
jump.
When a rivct reaches the required
heat the singer removes it from the
furnace with the tongs. He draws his
arm back as far as he can and with an
underlland sling sends the rcdhot rivet
forward. The man with the key
watches the rivet and has the kcg plac-
cd in such a position that the rivet
flies into it and hits the bottom with
a bang. Then he removes the rivet
with tongs and passes it to a waiting
irCnW orker
The most spectacular feature of all is
to see a Singer send one of the rcdhOt
rivcts up through the building, from
one floor to another. This requires
special accuracy because the man with
the keg above can only move a certain
distance to either side. In most cases
he is sitting aside a steel beam. But
from constant practice the men VIII,
do the singing are so accurate that
thew never waste a rivct Like a base
ball pitcher they can send rivet any
place they desire.-New York Sun.

TOY BANK OF THE WORLD.
Hardly Big Enough for a Sign It Pays
Dividends and Has Never Failed.

Raleigh, n. G., has the smallest bank
for that matter. 1t is the Wake
County Savings Bank, and was opened
for business on the first day of
January. 1905. 1t was originally built
as hallway, but stairs were run to
one side of it and in the tiny room
thus left the bank was established. 1t
has front of seven and one half feet
all glass. consisting of narrow door
and curved window, and it's depth
is twenty-five feet. There is barely
enough space above it's front for the
sign in letters of gold. Next to it is a
national bank of usual size and this
makes the baby institution seem even
smaller by comparison. Yet this little
bank has been a success from the very
start; has over 800 depositors and it's
assets aggregate s150,000 1t has
never failed to pay dividends to its
stockholders. and has also paid over
$4,000 in interest to depostors.
The president is William w. Vass,
whose father, of the same name, at the
time of his death some years ago, was
the oldest railway treasurer in the
world, having begun his railway life
in 1910, and being one of the high
officials OF the Seaboard Air Line. The
cashier of the bank is William b.

Mr.. BRYAN and the Dramatic Art.

Among the most absurd things that
have been SEPT ont concerning Mr..
Bryan-and no man has been exploited
more than he by the newspaper fakirs--
is the report that he is to accept a
large pccuniary offer to go upon the
stage. 1t is needless to say that there
is not the scintilla of truth in this re-
port. and vet it is not the first time
that it has been given publicity in on-'
form or another. When Mr.. Bryan
was first nominated for the presidency,
general that he had at one time been
an actor and there were even some
members of the dramatic profession
who PROGRESSED to have been associated
with him at that period of his life. In
spite oI these prodigiouS memories.
however. it is only just to say that
there was 40 truth whatever in the as
serlion Mr. Bryan was never at any
ucriod of his life associated with tn"
dramatic profession. having entered 1T
once upon the study of law after his
cradua;i ion from college He had, how
ever, in his younger years. many quail
ties That would undoubtedly have
made him Il success as an actor, had he
chosen to follow that profession. He

was IL man of magnetic and charming
personality with Il wonderfully clear

chosen the life Of AN actor he would I'M

sonal magnetism that have won him 50

the idea OF being thespian has never
crt,rcd Mir. Bryan's head. Certainly
that kind Of a career has had no part
whatever in his life, despite all stories
to the contrary. The association of his
name so persistently with the dramatic
life has been due entirely to the phySi-
cal and mental qualities which dlstin-
suished him in his younger manhood.
and which by suggesting his possible
ties as an actor led many people to as
sumo, without any reason Whatever,
that he must have sometime had eX-

The Black Hands Latest Victim.

The latest Black Hand outrage, the
| murder of Detective Joseph Petrosino
| of the New York police force, who had
gone to Italy in the performance of mis-
duty. has aroused anew public senti-
ment against this remarkable organi-
cation of criminals, and quite likely it
will find that it made tactical mis-
! take in striking down this victim. 1t
has gotten rid of one active enemy, TO
be sure. but it has raised up thousands
of others in doing so. Lieut. Petrosino
has been on the New York police force
for 90 years and for a long time has
been at the head of the so-called
Italian squad. an organized depart
ment of the New York police force
used in watching new arrivals and in
ferreting out the crimes committed
by members of the Italian race. For
years this officer has been a marked
man and nobody knew it better than
himself.
For the past few months there has
been a regular carnival of so-called
Black Hand crimes in New York City.
One New York paper tells US that
there have been 424 Black Hand cases
since January 1, with Al bomb ex-
blossoms, 215 arrests and Sc convic-
tonS. Blackmail and revenge are
usually the motives Of these crimes,
and lawyers, merchants, bankers and
Petrosino and his associates on the
Italian squad of the police force have
been working under many difficulties
in city like New York, with hum
drcds of thousands of Italian people
and with multitude Of newcomers
of that race, among their number the
worst of the criminal class in their
native country, seeking here refuge
from the Italian government and an
opportunity for new crime.
The organizations of these Italian
criminals known as the CommOra and
the Maffia, with their headquarters in
Italy and Sicily and their branches in
this country, have deticd the law for
many years and by their system of
organization have made it almost i'm
possible to convict members when ar
rested and brought to trial. Moreover,
the Italian government has failed TO
do it's duty in this connection through
its refusal to eXtradite criminals who
have escaped the officers here and fled
back home 1t remains to be seen

Well, the Union can take our word for
it that the kenncbec crop will be

here in recent years, but not 50 large
as the crop harvested in some of the
years before the trust was formed.
There were more houses then and ice
was frequently stacked beside the
river. This years harvest will be
limited only by the capacity of the
kennebec ice houses. AS to the
quality of the ice, it will be good, pro-
badly up to the average kennebec ice,
which is recognized in all the great
centers as the best cut anywhere.
