THE NEW ORE.
One Of Andrew carnssis's Early Iron

One Of Andrew carnssis's Early Iron
Experiences.
Andrew Carnegie once stated that a
short time after the starting OF his
first plant In Pittsburg he had an odd
experience with iron ore.
II was offered some ore that sam.

was able to judge from appearances.
at reduced price," he said. Il bought
several thousand tons-a big order for
those days. The second day after we
commenced to run Il the foreman came
TO the once and told me the new ore
was OF no account. that It did not dow
and that tho furnaces were so choked
they would have to be dumped unless
some remedy Was found. Those fires
were built TO last two years. and to
dump them at this time would mean
20 heavy a loss as TO practically put
me ont OF business. A young chemist
had called on me n few weeks before.
and. while had not paid much atten-
ton TO him. I had kept his card. II
occurred TO me that he might possibly
be OF some help. though ! confess {
did not then see what chemistry had

sent for him. and he came mt once.
First he examined the new ore and
then the old that we had been running
without difficulty. and finally he looked
at the furnaces. To avoid delay he
made little test OF the two ores right

rived that felt sure the new ore was
worthless and admitted my mistake

did not want him TO think was
ignorant Of the business. You can
imagine my surprise. then. when at
the conclusion Of his test he quietly

The fact was that the new ore con
tained 20 per cent more iron than the
old. and all that Il was necessary to

Henry 5. Thompson came to this
city about a month ago, with his wife
putting up at the Putnam Inn, where
he remained until week ago Monday
Just before he and his wife left, he re-
quested Landlord Rogers to cash a s5e
check. Mr.. Rogers was not suspicious
as he had cashed several cheks for his
guest during his stay, and all had
proved good. Two days after Mr.. Ro-
gers had deposited the last check il
was returned as worthless.
\ trap was set for Thompson, who
finally located in New York, and into
this he walked, and was arrested by
State policeman Thos. b. Hurley, and
was held for extradition. He refuses
to return to Connecticut without extra
dition papers, but is willing to settle
the case with Mr.. Rogers. The latter,
however, insists on having Thompson
brought back if possible.

Birthday Celebration

late Judge Oscar Fisher of West Wood
stock, celebrated her s0th anniversary
at her home on Providence street in
this city ON Monday. The affair was
in the nature of surprise, and was
planned and carried out by her sister,
Mrs. William Leonard and her daugh-
tiers, Mrs. George w. Perry, and Mrs.
Carl b. johnson. A bountiful dinner
of which fourteen relatives partook
was one of the pleasant features of the
occasion, served at noon, an appetising
chicken pie being prepared by the eel
ebrant herself. From 10 0 many
friends called TO offer congratulations,
bringing with them gifts, and an album
dance of flowers, including pinks, no.
ses, yiolets, narcissus, etc, as an evil
denee of love aud esteem. Guests were
present from Providence, Jefferson,
Franklin, Southbridge, Woodstock,
Danielson, Pomfret, and many con-
gratulatory letters and souvenir cards
from near and distant friends were re-
ceived, and two handsome birthday
cakes appropriately decorated marked
the occasion fittingly. Another pleas
ing feature of the occasion was the rec
itation of a selection by her youngest
grandson, Malcolm Fisher johnson,
adapted by his father, Editor Carl b..
Johnson of Franklin, and entitled
"When Grandma was a GIRL which
we append herewith. Mrs. Fisher is
in excellent health for a woman of her
age, and though confined somewhat TO
the house by lameness keeps closely in
touch with what is going on in the
world, manifesting a keen interest in
the topics of the day.
No r. F. ID. the farmers had,
When Grandma was a girl.
No "hello" girls drove one quite mad,
When Grandma was girl.
No one had "wheels" in good old days,
There was no moving picture craze,
No "straight- fronts then but only

When Grandma was a girl
Old Hickory Jackson fiourished there,
When Grandma was a girl.
Our milk had not been sterilized,
Our cream had not been Pasteurized,
Our food had not been Fletcherized,
When Grandma was girl.
But those were good old times, indeed,
When Grandma was a girl.
Fen though things went at slower
speed,
When Grandma was girl.
They brought the boys and girls up

Obey their parents, truth to tell,
Well be fortunate If we do as well,
As when Grandma was girl.
No auto ears went whizzing by
When Grandma was a girl.
No aeroplaneS sailed 10 the sky,
When Grandma was girl.
The people did not live in flats,
There were no Merry Widow hats,
And babies were not joining frats,
When Grandma was a girl.
They had no balets on the stage,
When Grandma was a girl.
Jig saw puzzles had no rage
When Grandma was girl.
They flashed no messages through

The lady was not in disgrace
Who had a child around her place,
When Grandma was girl.
Waists were not buttoned down behind
When Grandma was a girl.
No meat trust socked il to mankind,
When Grandma was a girl.
No telegraph brought news of dread,
No telephone could gossip spread,
None Photographed whatiothers said,
