Mr.. Taft then hinted at an extra
tariff revision session in case the Re-

cost of living, the president expressed
the opinion that American workmen
were very much better off than those

pay the high cost of living, he said,
but they could also put something
aside for a rainy day

Silvermine, near here, has had to give
up ali varieties of smoking because he
has a back draught through his right

Inn Keeper Who Inherited
Fortune Is Found Dead.
Man Who Had Loved Home and
Family Travelled Fast.

New York, Sept. -25-William Jack
Elliott is dead and his friends say
that prosperity killed him.
stack of IeafiIess check books, rec
ords of $4,000 worth of [. o. us from
friends and a paltry 5000 under at
| tachment at Nassau street bank,
are the silent proofs of how a windfall
of about $4,000 was dissipated within
less than IL months.
This money and spender failed to OBJ
serve any of the old time rules. The
pace was fastest during the past three
months, he enlivened matters by lead
ing his own sons, his wife and a small
army of process servers a daily game
of hide and seek which he always
won.
Elliott was about "a years of age.
For many years he has been famous
as the keeper of the famous Pelham
Park hotel. This tavern or inn at
tracted the late Colonel John Jacob
Astor, and others of the gentry who
loved to seek seclusion with their
friends for gay out of town parties.
Elliott, who was a favorite nephew of
Mary A. Blizzard, who owned much of
the present West Chester village had
welded pretty Sarah A. Dougherty.
ThIs marriage united two of the large
land holding families of the region.
And when New York city condemned
much of this property about one year
ago, Jack Elliott came into his for
tune.
Changed in a Moment
From a man of hospitality who never
drank except in the most temperate te
manner, who had proudly sent his two
sons through college and who adored
his wife and bowed to her every wish.
there emerged a butterfly of striking
contrast
Out of his delightful home raced the
new money king. He startled staid old
Bayehester pals by yelling loudly for
a taxi
And when the chug wagon buzzed up,
Elliott raced away with an order tc
the driver to the Colonial hotel in
Manhattan. 1t was fare of at least
$50 At his destination Elliott unlock
er a roll that totalled $5,0UU The bills
were of 500, $500 and $1,000 denomina-
tion. Disdaining to take change, the
new spender dropped at 500 yellow boy
in the hand of the chauffeur and walk
ed into the Colonial bar.
That was the beginning. Today let
ters of administration were granted to
his widow. Attorney Bennett E Sic
gelstein who represents her said:
How did he spend his fortune? Well,
1 know it all went on wine and the
companions wine brought him. And
am sure he never became entangled
with any woman during his II month
spree.
1T is a strange story out of fiction.
A man dearly loved for his traits of
quiet family life suddenly turns an ex-
cessive wine patron and abandons ev-
erything for his appetite and-dies.''

" MAKE BRICKS FROM PAPER .
(Tif Ritsl

Git Rits)
While there Is nothing like linen for
papcr-making. many other things will
serve as substitutes. For instance,
patents have been issued in various
countries for the manufacture of pa
per from barley, oats. rice. Indian
corn. peas, beans, alfalfa. ramie, pine
needles. sugar cane refuse. lutte, moss,
seaweed. tobacco, lichens, the leaves
and bark of trees beets. potatoes and
other equally strange things. In most
cases the price of manufacture is en-
cessive when we consider the quality
OF the product. The great bulk of
our paper-not the best, but that
most commonly used-is made, as
most people know. of the wood of GER
tain coniferous trees, chiefly spruce
and larch.
Paper can be made from nearly any
thing, and nearly anything can be
made from paper.
With compressed paper are made
wheels rails, mo horseshoes, poll
ishers for gems. bicycles and asphalt
ed tubes for gas or electric wires.
With wood pulp and zinc sulphate
there has been an attempt in Berlin,
to make artificial bricks for paving.
of 1000 tons per cubic centimeter,
they are baked for forty-eight hours.
In similar fashion are made roof
ing tiles and water pipes. Telegraph
poles made of rolled sheets of paper
are hollow. lighter than wood and re-
sist weather we'll.
In Japan they make. of paper, cloth
ing. window frames. lanterns. umbrel.
las, handkerchiefs. artificial leather,
etc. In the United States and even in
Germany are made paper collins. In
Germany they make paper barrels
vases and milk bottles.
Straw hats ma be bought in.
to which enters not an atom of straw
They are made of narrow paper strips
dyed yellow. Artificial sponges are
made of %cellulose or paper pulp. Mr..
Calviez has taken out IL patent for
paper thread to he used in sewing
shoes and Chardonet's artificial silk is
made on a basis of paper pulp.
The use OF paper in industry may
be indefinitely extended. 1t is en-
ployed to make imitation porcelain.
for bullets. shoes. billiard table cloth.
sails for boats. boards for buildings.
bagse' for cement and
substances, boats and ves-
sells for water. There has ever been
made a paper stove. which is said to
have stood the fire well. Celulose
may be used to prepare a water proof
coating that may be applied like paint.
Whole houses have been built OF pa
