In spite Of our smoke-laden atmos-

rebuilt with white marble. Time

and touch 1t with mellowing tints:
moreover, marble building could be

not matter of prettiness and poetry,
but Of the solvent action of acids upon
calcium-carbonate. Undoubtedly, how

the Greek varieties, are finding dis

Marble and Granite Quarrylng.
The principal methods of marble ex-
traction that modern experience and
practise have evolved are those of saw
ing and channeling. The former sys-
tenn is used largely in France. Italy
and Belgium, and almost exclusively
on the Marmor properties In Greece.
The saw itself Is an endless steel rope
of three strands, loosely twisted to-
gether. This cutter Is passed round q
driving-wheel and carried on guiding
pulleys from a power house at high
speed. The wire saw enables stone
not only to be cut from the rock bed,
but sawn on the spot into blocks of
handy size for export.
What is known as the ehanpeler, or
channeling machine, is in operation at
all important quarries in the United
States. A locomotive machine, feed
ing on rallied track and driven either
by steam or electric propulsion, it
consists Of row Of long vertical CHS
els set in strong travelling frame.
The gang Of chisels vibrate up and
down, rapidly cutting q channel in any
direction in the face OF the solid mar

In Aberdeenshire, granite areas
reach their maximum. The Rubislaw
and Kemnay Quarries are the largest
granite quarries in the United King
dom, and have each a depth of 800
feet. The rock is removed by boring
and blasting, and as the material is
blasted out the blocks are lifted from
the working face by cranes and cable
ways, masses beyond the power of the
lifting appliances being further broken
u2 as they lie. Rock drilling is carried
out by power drills, either by steam or
compressed air. At the Rubislaw.
quarry complete new air-compress-
ing plant, driven by a 100-horse power
electric motor, is installed for working
rock drills, the pressure being 100
pounds per square inch.

WOMAN IS PATIENTLY
WAITING FOR MEMORY

New York, Sept. 29.-Waiting until
her returning memory will enable her
to tell who she is, or friends who
read of her plight call for her, a young
woman of refinement and apparent
wealth, is detained here at Lincoln
Hospital.
By all the outward signs, clothes,
manner and conversation the asphasla
victim is person well above the av-
erage social distinction, but so far
she has not been able to give the
slightest clew to her identity or even
to remember whether she lives in New
York. She wears several valuable
gems.
Showing evidences of mental dis
tress, the girl wandered into Bronx
branch of the Y M. c. A. The police
theory is that she-came into the city
on some suburban train and in con-
fusion alighted at Bronx station.

ROBBERY OF HOUSES
DONE BY WHOLESALE

Chicago, Sept. 29.-John Clinton, %
years old, who has turned states evil
dence against Isaac Marks, a South
Side jeweler, on trial for operating a
fence" testified in Judge Kavan-
augh's court here that he and his pal
robbed from one to five flats or houses
night from January l to April 29,
the day of his arrest. The goods re-
covered are valued at $4,000, and
Clinton testified that Marks paid him
only $400 for the loot.
Clinton, in telling of his methods
of working, said:
IF we were delayed over seven min
utes in a fiat, we figured that We were
losing money. First, We would ring
doorbell and If we got a response we
would inquire for somebody. If not,
We got busy. That big Jimmy was
all we ever used. We never took any
thing except jewelry.

NO new EVIDENCE
DEVELOPED in Case
Very Little Time Consumed In Areu-
ment. But Many Witnesses Were
Examined.-Watson Represented dby
Able Counsel.

Arthur A. Watson, the young man
who shot and killed his fourteen-year-
old wife in this city a short time ago,
will not be given the benefit of bail,
this decision having been reached Mt
the conclusion of the preliminary
hearing before Judge ]. w. Bolton
yesterday afternoon.
There were no less than fifty wit
nesses summoned in the case, but per-
haps not more than half that number
were examined by the attorneys. The
defense sprung somewhat Of a sur
prise on the public yesterday when it
became known that Judge R. N. Mil
Ter, of Hazlehurst, one Of the best
known and most successful cripinal
lawyers in Mississippi, would handle
Watson's side of the case. Messrs.
Currie and Smith of this city. have
also been retained for the defense.
Al Iue " CuhihaAy hCoi'nB yCSeci-
day the state, represented by John
Street, introduced only four witness
es, while a considerable number were
used by the defense. Judge Miller
questioned each witness particularly
concerning the actions and behavior
of Watson just before the killing, with
the evident intention of developig tes-
timony to show that Watson was not
mentally balanced.
No testimony of this character was
adduced, however, in positive form.
Many witnesses testified that on Sat
urday preceding the killing and during
Sunday morning, the day on which
the tragedy occurred, Watson ap-
peared as usual, with the exception
that he was angry with his wife be-
cause she hesitated about going to the
Cullough, Mrs. Watsons mother, had
moved to Edna street.
Watson, who is a mere boy, ap-
peared perfectly calm and collected
during the entire proceedings, and
paid but little attention to the testi-
mony. He did not appear to be af-
fected in the least when Judge Boil
ton announced his decision to remand
the defendant to Jail without bail to
await the action of the grand jury.

CATHOLICS OBSERVE
DAY OF ST. MICHAEL
(By Union Associated Press.)

New York, Sept 29.-Michaelmas
Day, or, properly, the day of St.
Michael and All Angels, was observed
today by Catholics and Protestant
Episcopals. Observance of the day
has been general in the Church Of
Rome since the close of the fifth cen
tury, and is also a feast day of the
Church of England.
Michael the Archangel is the chief
of the angelic host, according to
Christian theology. His history is
obscure, but is a militant one. He is
mentioned five times in the Christian
Scriptures, and always as fighting. In
Revelations, Michael, at the head of
a band of angels, is represented as
warning with Satan and his army OF
minor devils, from which the latter
are cast down upon the earth.

TO Be WITNESSES
Police Raid Upon Alleged Hot Springs
Gambling Place Creates Big
Sensation.

Hot Springs, Va, Sept. 29.-Dismay
has struck the millionaire colony here
because of gambling scandal, similar
to that which Narragansett suffered a
few weeks ago, when a Jealous young
constable broke his way into gilded
chance hall and discovered prominent
women playing faro, roulette and
poker.
The colony, composed largely Of
those who had abandoned Newport,
Narragansett and other New England
watering places and mountain resorts,
has just swung into full enjoyment of
the autumn sports and diversions
here: but now many of them, having
been served with subpoenas in the
action of the authorities against the
Woodland Club. have taken to flight
or are preparing to get out of the
State. less they be compelled to give
evidence Of their own experiences at
the resort.
Prominent among the missing Is
young Roswell Colt, son of Samuel P.
Colt, head of the rubber trust, and a
brother-in-law of Ethel Barrymore.
He is said to have dropped $4,000 at a
sitting and was to, be called as wit
ness. He was staying at the Home
stead Hotel.
Others less fortunate in escaping
subpoenas are Judge w. H. Jackson,
Freeman A. Smith, w. M. Esler and
Eugene Perry. The gambling laws OF
Virginia are very strict and the prose-
cution is to be ruthlessly pushed, even
to the point of making fashionable
women tell of their experience with
the cards and chips.
Thomas Obrien, the proprietor OF
the Woodland, is under $1,000 bail on
evidence already adduced.

GREAT BRITAIN
and FREE TRADE
Expert Barker Says That The coun-
try is the Rag Bag Of the World
A Blast For The Tariff.

New York, Sept .29.-Free trade
has made Great Britain the worlds
rag bag in the opinion of ]. Ellis Bar
ker, noted English tariff expert and
writer upon economic subjects, who
is in New York on his first visit to the
United States to study economics here
at short range.
"The condition of the American
workingman is far above that Of his
British brother" says Mr.. Barker
Owing largely to unemployment and
extremely low wages. British workers
live from hand to mouth. Very few
have any tangible property. while a
very large percentage of workingmen
in America have land and houses of
their own. Besides, American work.
ingmen have almost $4,000, ,0OO, 900 in
savings banks while British workers
have only 81 ,O00, 100000.
The aspect of commercial and in
dustrial England resembles most
closely that of the state Of New York,
but New York state alone has more
money in the savings banks than the
whole of the United Kingdom, while
per head of population there is in the
savings banks of Great Britain only
s25 as compared with 5000 in New
York. =. So =
The average wage of all wage
earners for full employment in the
cotton trade in England is $3.50 a
week. In the woolen trade it is $3.50,
in the clothing trade about the same,
while in the linen trade it is less than
So, agricultural laborers receive from
50 to $3.50 a week. These are scarce
ly living wages.
Free trade England has the proud
distinction of being the largest inn
porter in the world and curiously
enough the bulk of this comes from
the three great protection countries,
the United States. Germany and
France. Golden propbesied that Eng-
land would always remain the work
shop of the world. Free trade has
made her the rag shop of the world
and the rag pickers of the universe
rake over dust heaps for rags to sell
to free trade Britain to be manufac-
tured into cheap clothes"

PRELAIfS BALk
An Archbishop And Two Bishops Halt
At ooscveIt-pecIine to Sit at
Table With Teddy.

Chicago, Sept. 29.-As a result of
Theodore Roosevelts embroglio with
the Vatican during his visit in Rome
last spring, three Catholic prelates,
an archbishop and two bishops, have
refused to sit at the table with the
former president when he is guest of
honor at banquet to be given by
the Knights Of Columbus in Peoria,
October IL.
More than 200 priests of the
church, it is said, also will find it
convenient not to attend the banquet
for the same reason.
The incident at Rome is somewhat
paralleled in Peoria. The colonel
finds himself in the bad graces of the
Methodists because he had refused to
attend their ceremonies incidental to
laying Of the cornerstone of a

LUMBER SHIPMENTS
ARE Being DELAYED
Cars in Northeastern Yards Cannot be
Handled Satisfactorily Under Exist
ing ircumstances-New Clerks at
Work.

Although the business men of Hat
tiesburg have not, as rule, taken
much interest one way or another in
the railroad clerks strike, believing
or majority of them, at least, that
the situation would be cleared up in a
day or so and things moving along in
their original channels, but the senti
ment is gradually, but surely chang
ing.
While nobody blames Agent Single
ton or holds him responsible in any
sense for the condition which exists
here, realizing that he is doing the
very best he can under the circum-
stances, the delays in shipments, ina
bility to locate cars in the yards and
the slow progress by which deliveries
are made is beginning to tell upon the
business interests of the public and
unless the situation should be I'M
proved considerably within the next
few days it is believed to be more
than probable that some effort will be
made here to bring about settlement
of the difficulty.
The places of all the strikers have
been filled in the local freight office,
but in a majority of instances the en-
ployes are inexperienced in railroad
work, and practically all the business
has been handled by Agent Singleton
and Chief Clerk Hayes. These two
gentlemen are untiring in their efforts
to please the public and render the best
service possible, and have succeeded
admirably; but it is certain that, with
the enormous amount of work which
has fallen upon them the strain cannot
be kept up for any definite length OF
time.
The clerks appear to be entirely sat
isfied with the situation. instead of
improving they allege that conditions
are becoming worse every day, and
are COuIu6nu Ol WHILE ouI' Nv i"i
as is known, not a single one of the
strikers has deserted, Notwithstanding
Superintendent Flannagan's PROPOSE
tion to re-instate a few of them pro-
vided they apply quickly. They are
determined to stick and say their
order has ample funds with which to
take care of the men and prolong the
strike indefinitely.
Two of the men who were employed
to take the places of strikers here
have already left their positions, it is
said, while a large number who, were
sent to New Orleans to fill vacancies
there refused to go to work upon their
arrival. Eighteen of these men, it is
said, passed through Hattiesburg yes
terday morning enroute to the point
from which they came.
So far Agent Singleton has expert
enced no difficulty in securing as many
men as he needs, and is confident that
within a short time these men will
be broke in sufficiently to render eff
cient service.
