It Would Take 15O,OOO Sheets to Mako
 . Pile an Inch High.
 Gold beating is one of the oldest trades in Birmingham. The work is done entirely by hand. The leaf is hammered out in small home work shops from twenty-four carat gold, but is first sent to the rolling mills. whence 1t is returned in long, thin ribbons one and quarter inches wide and a thousalidth part of an inch in thick ness. Then it Is ready for the beater The ribbon is generally cut off into small d1-4 inch squares. weighing about six grains.
 The thin square is placed in the cen ter of a vegetable parchment pad, con- sisting of 100 sheets on top and the same number beneath. This is beaten with a fourteen pound hammer, and the gold, when considerably. reduced in thickness, is placed between leaves of goldbeater's skin-skin prepared from a thin but tough membrane found in the large intestine of the OK.
 Eight hundred pieces of the ham, lnered leaf are arranged over each other between leaves of the skin, the whole being placed between parch- ment bands and beaten for couple of hours with seven pound hammer. Then the 500 pieces are cut up into 3,2OO pieces and again beaten. When the work is done the leaf is 1oO,O0O part of an inch in thickness and al- most as light as air.--London Ideas.

Following the desperate encounter
into which Detective Roebuck was
first drawn and in which later
Patrolman Phillips took a hand and
without doubt was instrumental in
saving the life of his brother Of
ficer, there were many conjectures
as to why Patrolman Phillips used
his club instead of his revolver.
When Detective Roebuck, on the
chase after the negroes following the
first encounter at the police station,
called to, Patrolmen Phillips for as
sistance, the latter did not know
what the charge against the negroes
was or the serious nature OF the
episode of few minutes previously.

that instead of trying to get into
trouble, he was trying to avoid it
and did not realize at first. that he
was being mixed up in it.

ton of ooh, Promise Me" was a
highly cultivated contralto effort.
Her tones are very deep and her

role of Little John, won applause and

Phil. Branson's comedy work was
of the unctuous kind and was es-
pecially fine in the forest scene in
which he and his band went to cap

the scene where he poses

played by Miss sallie Tillinger. 1t
is splendid production throughout

musical treat that is really enjoy

and in which they came out decidedly
second best, have been set for a pre-

will be tried. Jim Hamilton is in

is very broad assertion. If it were
made by Gus Hill, the sole owner and
manager of Mutt & Jeff" it would
undoubtedly be set down as due to
an exaggerated egotism, but coming
from the critic of one of the most
important and largest circulated
newspapers in the Eastern country,
1t must necessarily have weight with
the theatregoing public. The ex-
preston is an honest criticism that
has been used by the critics Of at
least ten Thousand daily and Sunday

years, which denotes Enthusiastically
the fact that an equal number of
trained writer's, whose business is to

honestly believe that Bud Fishers

scenic production by Mr.. Gus Hill,

BARE IDENTITY OF
/ WOMEN IN FATAL
AUTO PARTY
Mrs. Eckhardt and Mrs
Jardine Admit They Trav-
eled With Alexander

Much of the secrecy surrounding a
fatal joy ride into San Mateo county,
which terminated in the accidental
death of George L. Alexander, Pacific
coast manager of the American Type
foundry. was cleared today, when the
identity of two mysterious women
members of the party was estab-
lished
Mrs NJ. s. Eckardt, sol Suffer
street. San Francisco, and Mrs. M. Jar
dine. 1853 Green street, have adj
mitted to Coroner Plymire of San Ma
teo county that they were members of
the gay party which had such a tragic
ending.
When the inquest into the death of
Alexander is continued in San Mateo
tonight the sworn testimony of these
women will be introduced and aff1-
davits sworn.
The women will not appear at the
inquest. but J. S. Andrews, manager
of the Fisher hat store in San Fran
cisco, and driver of the car, has re-
covered sufficiently to appear.
Andrews and Alexander invited the
women to take trip into San Mateo
county the evening of August 10. Mrs
Eckardt said she wanted to visit
friends in Menlo Park, so readily con-
sented to accompany them.
Passing through Belmont on the
return trip Andrews turned the car
of the road to avoid another machine.
