BOY TODDLES THROUGH GATE
OWNED BY CITY TO HIS DEATH
Four -Year-old Richard Meyer Drowned
in Delaware

A gate, dividing Penn Treaty Park from
the Columbia avenue wharf on the Della
ware River, was found to be the cause OF
the drowning of 4-year-old Richard c.
Meyer, eli East Columbia avenue by tht
Coroner's Jury today.
The boy, according to witnesses, united
the gate and toddled or tho end of the
wharf to the river, where he met his death
II was lntimated that the affair could have
been prevented by the use of lock, which
would forestall children playing in the park
from opening the gate.
The wetchman at the park brought out
curious feature of the accident, when he
told Coroner Knight that half of the gate
came under the supervision of the Bureau
of City Property, the other half being
under the Department of wharves, Docks
and Ferries.
"1'll see about that" said the Coroner
I'D advise lock to be put on the gate
II any more accidents happen there from
this cause, somebody will be arrested"

cause Of this condition that one of the

clare for Hughes He has found that all
his delegates are favorable to Hughes and
cannot be employed by himself against the
Justice.
The shadow of Theodore Roosevelt still
hangs heavy over the Chicago convention.
But IL Is admitted by political wiseacres
here that many OF the old-line leaders, al
though hating Hughes, Will throw their sup
port to him should the Roosevelt boom at
any time seem to be getting seriously

that he now is planning his future move

HUGHES NOW IN LEAD.
There is hardly a question in the minds
Of any of the political leaders here that

II is also believed here that II the norni-

and Justice Hughes win make his campaign

that Justice Hughes is to get the Repub-

Strange results seem to have Ia
ken effect upon several citizens OF

repairs during the past month.
The old slopes, which had caved
in, have been repaired preparatory
to a renewal of work. This prop

amount of high grade zinc ore,
and as soon as the preliminary
work now in progress is completed,
active development will begin.
Miss Mary Rockwell, who has
for long time been employed at
the Hotel De Paris, resigned hei
position last Saturday. Her many
friends there presented her with
handsome gift of silverware and

future, will be full of pleasure and
happiness.

AN IMPORTANT
 SMALL INDUSTRY.

Feldspar is used in large quantities in both the body and the glaze of pottery and tile ana in the manufac- ture of enameled ware. Considerable feldspar is used also in the manufac- ture of abrasive materials, particu- larly securing soaps, and feldspar of inferior grade is used in making ready roofing material and as chicken grits. Some feldspars are potash bearing, and efforts have therefore been made to use them as fertilizer, but thus far without commercial sue cess. Efforts. to treat feldspars in order to make the potash in them more soluble, or at least more read fly available as plant food, give some promise of success and small amounts have been so used during the last year, most of the feldspar so treated having been added to so-called com plete fertilizers.
 The production in 1915, according to Frank J. Katz of the United States Geological Survey, amounted to 113,- 769 short tons, valued at $629,356, which, though a decrease of 16 per cent in quantity and a very slight de- crease in value as compared with 1914, is a much greater value than in former years. The prices paid for feldspar in 1915 were about the same as in recent preceding years, averag- ing about $3.50 per long ton for crude material of pottery grade and about $S.33 per short ton for ground ma terial for pottery. Better grades of ground material brought $10.50 to $11 per short ton Maine ranked first in quantity and value of it's output, and iall feldspar shipped from that State was of high grade. North Carolina, New York, Pennsylvania, Connecti- cut, Maryland, California, New Hamp- shire and Virginia were also produc- CTS in relative quantities indicated by the order in which the States are named.

DISGUISED EAGLE
LICKSAGAME COCK
Goes to sleep in Pit, But Awakens;
Pulls Roosters Head Off.

Peking, China, Sept. 16.-After TRIM
ming the feathers and otherwise dis
guising their mascot eagle, the United
States Marines attached to the Ameri-
can Legation here recently succeeded
in matching their bird of freedom to
fight previously undefeated cock
which was the pride Of the Chimes
sporting element.
y Upon being placed in the pit, the
eagle went TO sleep. The cock, full of
pepper, bravely handed his adversary
two blows. This was too much for the
Marine mascot; he awoke from his
dream of the snow-capped sierras and
deliberately pulled the chickens head
off.
Our. sea-soldiers anticipate no fur
ther challenge.
