For many years North Car Oiina has
been the largest producer OF mica IN
the United States. Prior to 1895 the
output came chiefly from the larger
mines and consisted of big sheets Of
fine quality.
At that time large quantities of
small sheet mica that would cut plates
less than three inches square we're
thrown on the dumps as waste. After
the small sheet and scrap mica be-
came valuable the dumps at the
large mines We're worked over and the
quantity Of mica produced was there
by greatly increased.
Now that most of the dumps have
been worked over and only few
large mines are in operation, the out

FAvORS PLAN.
Power of Chairmen of Senate
Committees May Be Cur
tailed by Caucus.

A strong effort is to be made when
the Senate meets for the special ses-
sion to put through the democratic
caucus the recommendation made by
the steering committee. which aim to
curtail the power of the chairmen of
Senate standing committees. and TO
place the power i'm the hands of the
rank and file of the committees. it was
learned yesterday.
President Wilson within the last few
days. in a conference with Senator
Kern of Indiana, chairman of the
democratic caucus and of the steer
ing committee, is understood to have
expressed a desire that these recon-
mendations be adopted. One reason
given for the desire of the President
in this matter is that some of the most
important chairmanships are held by
democratic senators said to be reac-
tionary.

ting out the life nets and the ladders,
but Beadle was alive to the opportunity.
He ran to grocery store and took
long piece Of clothesline, and then, rush
ing back to the scene of the fire, made a
speaking trumpet Of his hands and yelled
up to the lady:
BE brave I'll save you. Catch this
rope
Then with mighty heave he threw one
end of the rope right into her hands.
Tie it around your waist he yelled.
She did SO.
Then while the waiting crowds cheered
him he saved her by simply pulling her
out of the window.
Diagrams and explanations of this will
be furnished on application.

1T is suspected in various quarters that
Mr.. Beadle was the person who was
caught on railroad track in a cut be-
tween two hills, with a rapidly approach
ing train coming behind him. He started
TO run along the single track as fast as he
could. while boy on the bank shouted
Hey, mister, why don't you run up the
