ART OF GLASS CUTTING
Delicate Work Which Accounts for
the High Price of the
Genuine Article.
PRESSED GOODS ARE DECEPTIVE
Some Simple Rules That Will Safe
guard the Ordinary Purchaser at
Retail-Closed-In Ware.

Buyers for large houses are some
times deceived when buying cut glass.
and find they have bought what is
commercially known as pressed glass
instead of the genuine article. Yet
there are a few simple rules hat will
safeguard the ordinary buyer at retail,
the Boston Globe says. The chief one
is to pick out only what the manufac-
turer calls closed-in articles. By this
he means vases, jugs, pitchers, bottles
and the like. These cannot be dupli-
Gated in pressed glassware, which Is
first nodded in patterns and the edges
ground. This process gives it so close
a resemblance to real cut glass that
even experts may be deceived. The
kind of cut glass that is counterfeited
is called open work, such as plates,
naples or any fiat article through
which the workman can readily see
when finishing it. Another help in Sc
Letting cut glass is it's weight. The
genuine is made from pure lead glass,
made GRIZZLY in America, especially for
cutting. This lead glass is very heavy.
The process of making cut glass is
fascinating to watch. The first step
toward cutting is to mark on the blank
that is, the dish in the clear glass
in red or other paint the design that
has been selected for it. The most
common designs are diamond shapes,
stars or various points, crosses and
squares, and other geometrical pat
terms. The design must be marked on
the glass exactly to stand the test of
compass and rule. When all lines are
in perfect accordance with the pat
tern, and also fit the blank, the rough
ing begins. This is cutting the heavy
work, such as the necks of vases and
bottles, and the heavy lines on the
stars.
This is done on a machine called
the mill a big, wooden-framed af-
fair, on top of which is a hopper hold
ing about half a ton of Berkshire hills
sand. This sand is the only kind in
this country that has proved satisfac-
tory for this work. The sand runs
down through the hopper, is moistened
with water and ONE out of a large
steel disk, the edge of which is sharp.
This disk is turned by power at a very
high speed. The wet sand of the disk
gives it a TOOTH" which, when the
glass is held against the edge of the
disk, cuts very rapuidly.
After the design has been all cut
comes one of the most difficult parts
of the work, the polishing. This is
done on the outside of the work with
a very high-speeded brush wheel COW
cred with moistened pumice stone.
powdered. This stone is lava thrown
off by a volcano. Large wooden disks,
made to fit the cuts and fed with
pumice and water, are used for polish
ing the fine work in and around the
delicate tracery of the pattern. The
hand Of the glass-cutting expert must
be steady, strong and accurate, for the
least mistake spoils a whole pattern.

will be given the third Sunday in May,
and on every Sunday and feast day
thereafter until the coming of fall, the
play will be presented to great au-
diences. The playhouse" now in use
was erected eleven years ago at a cost
Of $4,000.
There are no hotels in Omerammer-

In the coming production, Anton

took the part for the first time in
1900 and is said to be a truly wonder
full actor. He is by trade a potter.
Whatever there may have been of
theatrical show and fantastic conceit
in the beginning Of the Passion Play
was long ago eliminated. Generation
after generation of devout and holy
men have looked upon it more and
more as a vehicle for the profoundest
truths Of their religion, and have
added to it, scene by scene, speech by
speech, everything which in their es-
teen could enhance its solemnity and
make clear it's teaching. However
much one may disagree with its doc
trines, reject it's assumptions or ques-
ton it's interpretations, that is no rea-
son for overlooking its significance as
a tangible and rounded presentation of
that scheme Of the redemption of the
world in which to-day millions of men
and women have full faith.

ROOSEVELT WRITES TO FISH.
Insurgents Think Letter lndorse-
ment of Fight Against Cannon.
REGULARS NOT ALARMED
Ex-President's Attitude Toward
House Rules Known-Reporteo
Invitation from Collier.


Washington, May 2s.-Representatise
Hamilton Fish, of New York, has received
letter from Mr. Roosevelt written Al
Dorchester House the residence or the
American Ambassador TO England, WHICH
the insurgents who have been opposed 10
CannonisIn take as an Endorsement OF theH
fight.
REPRESENTATIVE Fish wrote long letter 10
Mr. Roosevelt recently In which he DE-
clared that the great majority or the III
surgents were fighting for liberalization OF
the House rules and at the same time LOT
the Taft policies. He asked for some eA-
preston from Mr.. Roosevelt, and In SIX
line letter received reply, which was IN
substance, as follows:
You know my views on the House situa-
ton. / do not care to repeat them IN thiS
letter, but I wish to see you Immediately
upon my arrival In New York"
Representative Fish showed the letter 70
some of his insurgent colleagues to-day,
and they did not hesitate to spread the
news. Mr. Fish would not acknowledge
that he had received such a letter and de-
clined to discuss It,
There is a great difference of opinion at
the Capitol as to the meaning of the words
used by Mr.. Roosevelt The insurgents say
they have known for some time that the
ex-President was in favor of more liberal
rules and opposed 20 the strong hand with
which the House leaders drove the ma
iority. They know that he was forced to
resort to drastic methods on several occa-
sions TO secure the passage of legislation
to which the party stood pledged, but they
rejoice that he has continued in the same
frame of mind and that the men who con-
fined their fight to Cannonism need not fear
the big stick.
The regulars declare that the letter ia
enigmatical. They say Mr.. Roosevelt has
not committed himself by 1t, and that he
simply desired to reassure Mr.. Fish that
an issue would not be made against the
men comprising the rules insurgents In
private the regulars admit, however, that
they never could have counted on Mr..
Roosevelt's support in the rules fight any
more than they counted on that of Mr..
Taft. They do not feel that the letter has
great significance, and they are far from
alarmed.
A much more disquieting rumor has como
to the regulars, however, In the report that
Mr. Roosevelt has accepted an invitation
to be the guest of honor at dinner to be
given by Robert Collier. In view of the
fact that Golfers Weekly has conducted
bitter campaign against Secretary Bal
linger and has not hesitated to tmpugn the
motives of the President and other mem
bers of his administration, friends of the adj
nainistration feel that such a dinner would
give rise to endless speculation and would
afford comfort to the enemies of President
Taft Few believe that Mr.. Roosevelt has
any purpose to take the Pinchot side OF
the controversy, and they feel that the only
reason he has accepted the invitation Is
because he has not been sufficiently in
formed as to the character of the cam
paign which Golfers has been waging-
