Visitor Arilvlns nt Atlantic City by Tens or
Thousand A Piltsburc Glrl' Good
Taste A Philadelphia Beauty Saved
From Drowning.
Atlantic Citt, August 21. Strangers
are coming by tens of thousands. To-night
the city is a surging mass of humanity, and
to-morrow will mark the climax of the
season. Pittsburg and Western Pennsyl
Tania have been finely represented here all
through the month, and familiar faces are
more numerous here to-dav than ever. Colo
nel Watt came in yesterday morning with
nearly 600 Pittsburgers, all of whom are
comfortably quartered at various hotels and
cottages. He reports that the excursion
business over the Pennsylvania road has
lready exceeded that of any two previous
years.
The social season Is In lull blast and the
women are all stnvins to out do each other in
gorgeousness of attire and striking originality
of costume. Honey seems to be a secondary
consideration among the fair sex here, and the
sole aim and object of a great many women ap
pears to be to attract attention by their appear
ance snd set the styles for their more conserva
tive sisters, '.these extremes are not conhncd
to the women from any particular locality,
however, but the Eastern girls appear more at
cace in a "lend" apparel than those who lead
the fashionable world west of the Allegbenies.
There is a healthj -looking, rosy-cheeked girl
from Lawrenceville who is probably the most
attractive Rirl on the beach this week. Her
bathirg salt is a plain blue with white tape
border. Her black clockings are never encased
in any kind of a shoe or moccasin, nor is her
bead ever covered by anything save a wealth of
chestnut brown hair, which floats In waves
over her skapely shoulders. She is the most
carelessly dressed yet the jnost bewitching girl
on the sands. Nothing is false, nothlnc affect
ed. Her face and figure aro her fortune, and
did her more fastidious sisters from the East
and Wet take pattern from her, health as well
as beauty would not be such a rarity among
them.
COMING ENTERTAINMENTS.
The bic entertainment and supper to be given
by Charley McGIade, of the Mansion, to the
Pennsylvania Editorial Association, on Tues
day night, w ill be one of the principal attrac

to her arm pits, when she was struck by a
breaker and carried under. Hawley's attention

people on the beach. He struck out boldly in
the direction of the sinking Deauty. After a
desperate struggle he succeeded in landing her

Notes About Visitors.
JSrXClAI. TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCn.1
Cape May, August "L Contrary to all ex
pectation the season keeps up its bustle and
activity, and there is a general idea prevailing
that this state of things will last through the
first week of September. The arrivals of the
week have exceeded the departures, and peo
ple are filled with delight. The July business
was less than last year's, but August has shown
a marked increase. All things considered the
season has been a good one.
Of all tho lovely spots on the Atlantic coast
none coo Id be pleasanter than the boardwalk
at Cape May about the sunset hour. Then the
very spirit of romance takes possession of the
visitor. Watching the restless waves dashing
against the beach, with nothing to obstruct the
view: the ccol. Invigorating air fanning his
cheek as be walks along the favorite promen
ade; the waste of waters before him, glinting
in the fading sunlight; the joyous laughter of
the careless crowd mingling with the subdued
murmur of the deep, even the most unim
aginative and unpoetical of mortals must be
agreeably impressed.
Tbe Cape May bail team has gained quite a
reputation this summer. They lost 3 out of 28
games last season, and this year have won 21
outof2B. The team is composed of the best
players of Princeton ana other college nines,
and can field a ball perfectly. They have a
great time in keeping their pitchers. Day and
Anderson hive signed with tbe Philadelphia
team, and will play with them after September
1 iin the Cane Mavclnb disbands.

PREPARING FOR FLIGHT.
Chantanqna Soon to be Deserted Flensing
nnd Impressive Exercises.
rsrXCIAL Tr LEG Bill TO THE DISPATCH. t
Chautauqua, August 21 A few more days
and Chautauqua's groves, which have echoed
so often to the sounds of eloquence and the
strains of music, will be silent and deserted.
The closing exercises of the season of lS89will
be held Monday evening. There will be songs
and farewell addresses. The faithful few, who
remain until that time, will then take their de
parture, and Chautauqua will be transformed
into a veritable Sleepy Hollow.
Recognition Day is tbe climax of the season.
Up to that time the crowds and the enthusiasm
steadily increase. After that day they rapidly
decline. Alreaay Chautauqua is beginning to
seem desolate. Saturday, however, brings a
crowd again tho last flicker before the candle
finally goes out. It U G. A. B. Day, and all
members of the G. A R. are invited to the
grounds, free of charge, from Friday night
until Monday morning. Corporal Tanner, the
United States Commissioner of pensions, is to
speak in the afternoon.
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Beard recently gave a
unique entertainment. The first half was a de
lightful chalk-talk by Mr. Beard. The latter
half was an equally delightful representation
of statuary by three young women. They were
marvelous) y graceful, but had the somewhat
startling trick of hopping down from their
pedestals and marching from tbe place in a
manner most Incongruous with the popular
theory that statues are not animate.
MAETEL.OUS GYJLNASTIO FEATS.
The annual gymnastic exhibition was given
last week. It was unusually good. The par
ticipants managed with amazing skill and dex
terity to move through space in every conceiv
able manner. One would scarcely have believed
there was so much merit in getting one's heels
where his head ought tobe. It was pronounced,
except for tbe lack ot horses, as good as a circus.
Chautauqua would faint lroni very horror at
the idea of putting a play on the platform, out
dramatic readings amount to little else, and
while they satisly the demand for something of
that nature, tbey do not hurt Chautauqua's
conscience. Two unusually fine dramatic read
ers.have appeared here in the last week. Mr.
George Riddle, whose forte is Sbakesperian
readings, and Mr. Leland Powers, who is par
ticularly good iu Dickens, Mr. George Cable
lias given two entertainments, consisting of
readings from, his charming Creole dialect
stories.
Wednesday was the graduating dav of the O.
L. 8. C. of 'tS9. Commencement Day here is un
like anyjother day. There is an exhilaration in
the very atmosphere that somehow makes you
feel as though this were the most glorious oc
casion In tbe world's history. The feast, how
ever, is spread for the U. L. S. C, and the bar
barians, as those who have not joined the
charmed circle are ignomlniously dubbed, are
only spectators, allowed to pick up tbe crumbs.
Wednesday was a perfect day, and the cere
mony as usual was
IMPEESSIVE AND PEETTILY ABBANQED.
First came the march to tbe hall in the
grove, where the graduates passed through the
golden gate, under the arches and between 69
tiny flower girls, dressed in white and strewing
flowers In their path. As they entered the hall,
which was a mass of banners, evergreen and
daisies the class flower the choir burst into
singing. A short recognition service was held,
in which tbe class of '89 were pronounced
graduates, and then they took np their line of
march to tbe amphitheater, accompanied by
this band, the flower girls, the faculty and the
graduates of former years. The amphitheater
was elaborately abd beautifully decorated.
Songs and addresses occupied the rest of tbe
morning. Colonel Russell H. Conwell gave the
Recognition Aay oration. In the afternoon
diplomas were presented. A banqnet was held
in the evening. Throughout the day tbe band
prayed on every possible occasion, ana the
chimes frequently pealed forth.
The loss resulting from tbe fire Saturday
night is estimated at HL,UU0. instead of 125,000,
as rumor has it, Mr. U. H. Otis, tbe oirnur of
the bookstore, lost the most heavily of anyone.
He had 53,000 worth of goods destroyed. The
Assembly lost $4,000. The management received
little sympathy, because their loss is regarded
as tbe result of negligence.

Harris' Theater will not be closed this sum
mer for repairs. During the past week, how
ever, the management has been able to bright
en up tbe place considerably. The walls have
been painted, the upper boxes have been taken
down, and new carpets have been laid in all
parts of the house. The regular season of 18S9
90 begins on Monday, and Harris' Theater com
pletes the remarkable record of having been
open for theatrical performances at least once
and generally twice every day in the year, ex
cept Sundays.
It cannot he said that the opening attraction
at either the Grand Opera House or the Bijou
Theater were of any particular Interest The
new play, "A Royal Pass," at the Bijou, and
tbe new actor, Mr. George C. Staley, have not
made a very pleasant impression upon Pitts
burg's audiences. The fact is, as has already
been sala In Tbe Dispatch's columns, the
author of "A Royal Pass" has attempted to
make a drama out of material barely strong
enough for a farce comedy. Very little altera
tion would serve to mako "A Royal Pass" a
very amusing piece; and at the same time
afford Mr. Staley larger opportunities for the
exercise of his gifts. Tbe very incidents which
are incongruous and absurd in a serious drama
would be quite the thing in a marked comedy.
Tbe company would also, it seems, be very well
fitted for light comedy work. Mr. Tony
Farrell and Miss Jennie Leland are both low
comedians ot ability, though tbe latter was
obliged to do mauy painfully silly mints in her
Impersonation of a Swiss barmaid In "A Royal
Pass." The sympathy of everyone in the audi
ence went out to tbe unfortunate actors who
were obliged to be desperately wiciced. for no
ostensible reason. In the heaviest ot fur
lined overcoats, and other nabillments of stage
Russian mystery.
V
Pittsburg has earned in the course of the
last two weeks a long rest from minstrel shows.
It is to be hoped that the local managers will
allow her to enjoy it
No theater In town opened to a more enthusi
astic audience than Harry Williams' Academy
of Music last Monday. The popularity of Pitts
burg's only variety theater Is something that
no one can discount Every night during the
past week the house has been packed, and it
promises to continue to be a gold mine for
lucky Manager Williams.
Mr. George O. Jenks is In New York, rehears
ing his play, "The United States Mail." He
writes that everything is going smoothly, and
that the season will commence at Louisville, In
McCauley's Theater, on September 9.
.
"Little Puck" and "Tourists in a Pullman
Car" are plays of a strips that are likely to thrive
in hot weather. They are both bright, airy and
laughable, and are built to do little more than
amuse. Just now it looks very much as if they
would have the hottest weather of the year to
contend with. The experiment of opening
theaters in tbe middle of August is a rather
dangerous one. as all the managers felt last
week when the warm wave came and the audi
ences fell away.
.
An Immense yellow poster announcing in a
pleasant variety ot big letters the benefit for
Burr Mcintosh at the Fourteenth Street Thea
ter, New York, has been received by The Dis
patch. It is a pity that few Pittsburgers will
be able to see the great performance to bo
given for Mr. Mcintosh's benefit for abont a
score of tho brightest actors of the day will
participate In it The bill has variety. . There's
the second act of "Tbe Mountebank," with
Eben Plymnton and others of ability in tbe
cast, the third act of "Ingomar" with Burr Mc
intosh himself as Ingomar: a running high
jump, the prize to the winner being given by
tne cuarwinj; aiiui&u xtusseii, anu -a iug ul war,
four men, o0 pounds limit, open to all ama
teurs. A correspondent of tbe Bulletin, in a brief
allusion to "Bootle's Baby," the new English
play now being given at the Madison Square
Theater, New York, says: "Kate Claxton, as
the mother of 'Bootle's Baby," has to cry a
a great deal and be mildly pathetic all
through the play. Miss Claxton is an artiste.
What more need I say f"
Well, an artiste ought to know that there are
other ways of showing grief besides shedding
tears by tbe bucketfuL The prevailing fault
among our emotional actresses to-day is this
tendency to blubber at the smallest provoca
tion. Mr. John Whlteley Is managing the tour
of Marie Prescott and R.D. McLean. If Mr.
Whiteley has a mind to keep the fame of his
stars before the public In the newspapers he
onght to give up the awful habit he has of
writing news on two sides of the paper. That
habit has made countless millions mourn over
contributions which have never appeared in
print
Among the new features of "Little Puck"
wbich are promised is a dance and song or two
borrowed from the Gaiety Company of London,
which, in the English girls' hands, struck the
Eopular fancy. The "tigers" who traveled with
lixey In "Adonis" have been translated to
"Little Puck," and will serve up, I presume,
some new sides of the tiny footman's life.
Theresa Vaughn has Introduced a fashion in
New York which tbe busy women find con
venient and sensible and are adopting with
great rapidity. She declares it is necessary for
both beauty, health and good temper that a
woman should be for half an hour at least in
the open air every day, and sbe goes on to say,
-I know that for busy women this is not always
easy. Tbey can spare that bait an hour in tbe
open air, but they cannot spare the other half
or tnree-quarters of an hour to make a street
toilet But I have found a way but of tbe diffi
culty, I think. There are many days when I
am studying and rehearsing so bard that Ibave
not the time to spare to get ready to go out, so
I put on my head a wide-brimmed directoire,
which covers a multitude of sins in the way of a
tumbled head and throw around me a long
Connemara coat You know the coat usually
called a Connemara is not one at all. The Kerry
Clark is the one that bangs straight from the
shoulders to the feet In front, and has to be
held together to keep from blowing open and
showing the gown underneath. The Connemara
bangs in the same way, but there is a front in
si de which fits slightly to the figure, abd Is but
toned all the way down, tbe arms, coming
through long slits left between the eage of this
and the loose fronts which bang over it. It is
loose, bat perfectly conceals any morning
gown I may be wearing underneath. I araw
o n a pair of looe gloves, ana then I am all
r eady tor the street in three minutes.
It every woman would provide herself with
tvose three things there would be no day so
b usy that she could not find time to get out for
that little run in the air which would keep her
skin fresh, her eyes bright and her temper
sweet. Hepbubn Johns.
The Proaramme.
FBAHX Dasikia, in "Little Puck,'; is the at
traction at the Bijou Theater thisweek. The
slay and star have been seen here before, but
ltt return at this season will t doubtless he wel
comed. The story of the comedy is supposed
to have been taken from F. Anstey's unique
and ludicrous novel, "Vice Versa." The main
conceit is that of the interchanged identity of
father and son. J'acktngjutm Oiltedge, a New
York stock broker, has a wayward son, Billy,
who has no taste for school, and who pines to
be a man and to go on 'Change and have a good
ume. xne stock broker, on the other hand,
weary and worried by business troubles, longs
to be a boy again. Then, through the magic ot
a hoodoo idol, which, held In the right hand,
will bring to pass any wish of tbe
bolder, a metamorphosis is effected tbe
father is turned into the son and
tbe son into the father. Each, however, re
tains; his mental faculties. The metamor
phosis is but phjsical. The son, assuming pa
ternal authority, sends the "old man" to school
and he himself goes into the stock exchange
and leads a rather fast life. The old buck of
b0: in his youthful garb, makes havoc in the
school room, and tbe young blood creates dis
may among the servants of the Gxltedge man
sion. Finally affairs are happily straightened
out by the two being transformed back into
their original selves wiser, but apparently not
sadder from their many ludicrous and exciting
adventures. There are other excellent charac
ters In the comedy, especially that of Dr.
Bavage, the savage mentor of Savage Acade
my; Jinks Hoodoo, Etq., brother-in-law of Gill
edge, and proprietor of Hoodoo's Dime Mu
seum: Sluggers, a festive butler ot Oilledge;
Miranda Saiage, daughter of Dr. Bavage;
JIus Clara Oiltedge, a sister to Billy; and
Tabitha TUlleback, a housekeeper to Giltedge.
Fun and frolic and "laughter holding both
Its sides" are always the order ot the day, or
rather of the night, when a Mestayer-Vaughn
engagement Is on at the Grand Opera House.
No matter what aspirations for the higher
walks of art this comedian and comedy writer
may entertain, the public has evidently got him
where it wants him in his return to "The Tour
ists in a Pullman Car," in which he made his
first success. On Monday evening a grand re
vival of this well-known comedy will take place
at tbe Opera House, in which both Mestayer
and the charming Theresa Vaughn, together
with Joe Ott, Fred Queen.E. O. Eagleton, Jas.
Tierney, Charles Wayne, Emily Soldene, Dot
Parkhurst and Lillian Tyson will take promi
nent parts. Theresa Vaughn is a constellation
in herself. Her dressing always shows good
taste and elegance and her singing Is of that
soulful kind that reaches the heart as well as
the ear. The scenery for the entire three acts
Is carried by the company.
Manaqek Harris opens his season on Mon
day with a strong attraction, "The World
Against Her." The drama Is from the pen of
Frank Harvey, who wrote "The Wages of Sin."
and other successful plays. "The World
Against Her" holds an audience by virtue of
its domestic interest, its crowded incidents, its
portrayal of woman's love and its strong con
trast of virtue and vico. It tells the story of a
wife suspected by her husband, owing to the
ingenuity of a villain, and abandoned to face
the cruelty and scorn of the world. Her strug
gles to save ber child and her misadventures in
London, alone and helpless, are graphically
told. Ultimately her husband is convinced of
her Innocence. Agnes W. Villa plays, it is
said, the part of the wife with natural tender
ness and womanly grace. Next week Pete
Baker.
The Sullivan Comedy and Specialty Company
brings plenty of fun and melody to Harry Wlll
lams'iAcademy this week. The company in
cludes such well-known people as Miss Ltllie
Western.Miss Flora Moore, Johnson and Mack,
William Golden, the Macarte family, John
Kernell, Frank Moran and the Martinet! Broth
ers. The performance given by such artists Is
sure to be good.
The World's Museum, on Federal street, Al
legheny, opens with a collection of curiosities
and a stage performance hourly on Monday at

The Cincinnati managers have been officially
notified by Mayor Mostey, of that city, that
Sunday theatricals will hereafter be sup
pressed. Jos. Ott is a member of the Actors' Ath
letic Club, and was the winner ot the 120-yard
nurdle race at the last meeting. Tbe band
some cup won by Mr. Ott is now on exhibition
at the Opera House.
Thebesa Vauohjt will Introduce for the
first time in Pittsburg, during the Tourists' en
gagement anew waltz song especially written
for ber by the author of "Said Pasha," en
titled "My Last Thoughts."
Little Ollie Berkley, who is to play "Little
Lord Fauntleroy" in the Australian production
of that drama, left for the Antipodes on last
Snnday. The little one was accompanied by
her mother, Mrs. Louise Dickson.
Negotiations have been concluded for E H.
Sothern and his company to appear next
sprlngin "Lord Chumley" at the Criterion Thea
ter, London. "The Wife" is also to be pro
duced at this house during the winter.
In a recent letter to his friend, Frank W.
Sanger, Willie Edouin denounces as cruel and
uncalled for the newspaper statement tbat his
wife, Alice Atherton, Is demented. He states
that she is, on the contrary. In the very best ot
health.
The Allegheny Coliseum has been entirely
remodeled and turned Into the handsome and
commodious World's Museum and Theater.
To-morrow will be its opening day. Expert
encedentlemen are in charge, who know how
to make such a house popular.
Miss Lizzie Evans follows "Little Puck"
at the Bijou. This clever and persevering little
actress will appear In two new plays, namely,
"Tho Buck-Eye" and "Fine Feathers," as well
as in the old play, "Onr Angel." "The Buck
Eye" was written for Denman Thompson origi
nally. Feed Wabse comes to the Opera House
next week. His company will produce during
the first three nights and at the Saturday mat
inee D'Ennery's "Mountebank." On Thurs
day evening "Dlamon and Pythias." Friday
evening "Vlrglnus," and on Saturday night
"Richard HI" will be given.
A COOL policeman prevented a panic at H.
R. Jacobs Third Avenue Theater, New York,
last Saturday night While the performance
was going on, he discovered fire in the vault
under the sidewalk. Without sending out an
alarm he quietly summoned help and the
flames were extinguished with very little dam
age. Bessie Sanson, who is the bright and pretty
star of "Little Puck," doesn't like short skirts.
It is said that when Bessie Sanson adopted the
stage as a profession ber mother, a devoted
church woman, exacted from ber one promise.
This was that Bessie should never appear on
tbe stage in a short dress or in tights, and this
promise the little soubrette has religiously
kept Sbe has many times refused advantage
ous engagements because they involved the
wearing of tights. "I have done very well in
long dresses; am contented with the position I
have achieved," says the charming little En
glish woman, "and I havo no occasion to regret
the promise I made my dear, old niamma."
Maexe Pbescott will appear for the first
time in her lite in Pittsburg, on Beptember 9.
Her great success as Hermione and Perdita In
"Winter's Tale," has decided her manager Mr.
John Whiteley to make a specialty of it They
will produce it here with magnificent costumes
and beautiful dances In which Miss Prescott is
said to be remarkably graceful. In Philadel
phia last April, she received seven calls for
Perdlta dance. Mr. R. D. MacLean, ber associ
ate star, wilt also be seen for the first time. He
is said to be more like Forrest than any living
actor, in size and power of voice. He is only
80 years of age and yet for four years past
has achieved almost incredible success as
Shylock, Richard HI and other tragic Shakes
pearean roles. Their repertory will be Richard
III. Winter's Tale, As You Like It, Virginius,
and Ingomar, while in Pittsburg.
The celebration of tbe one hundredth per
formance of "The Oolab," the burlesque in
which Francis Wilson and Marie Jansen have
made a wonderful hit and deservedly at the
Broadway Theater, New York, the other day,
was marked by tho superb souvenirs given.
They were Spanish dagger-shaped paper cutters
ot solid silver. At the Casino the one hun
dredth representation of "The Brigands" was
also marked Dy the distribution of an elegant
souvenir, consisting of a handsome Russian
leather and Ivory card case. On one side of
tbe interior is a beautiful beveled plate glass,
white the card pocket contains a heavy satin
programme of the performance. On the out
side of the case is a vignette of Rudolph Aron
son, and the words "Casino souvenir. One
hundredth. The Brigands," while the reverse
bas an engraving of tbe Casino building, "The
Home of Comic Opera." This souvenir busi
ness must be quite an item in the expenses of a
New York manager.
NTM Crinexe fires some very hot but none
too hot shot into tbe English melodramas in
this week's Dramatie Mirror. Says he: "The
crash-bang English melodrama is aft invariable
quality; It never varies in thought.ln method or
in purpose. A score ot British melodramas are
as much alike as a score of English landhold
ers. ho all wear the same coats, the tame
thiifc.joted shoes, the same solid boll dog ra
tability, ' and the ta lansoibu deter-j
ruination to die rather than do anything that
their fathers did not do. The moment the play
of "Mankind" begins, a fine "old English"
sense of security comes over you. You feel per
fectly safe from any innovations or novelties
or blasted Yankee surprises. This Immutabili
ty Is shown no less clearly in Matthew Arnold,
who saw nothing in America but apples and
rice, and in Raskin, who objects to the Pacific
Railroad because it soils the great plains with
cinders, than in Merrltt ana Conquest who,
when tbey make a melodrama, ask for the un
altered British mold, and refuse to do anything
tbat Is not warranted by well-established
usage. So when you have "Mankind" you have
the "Lights o London," "The Bells of Hasle
mere," "Harbor Lights," "She," "A Run of
Luck," "Lost in the Snow." "A Dark Secret,"
and half a score more like unto them.

CHEAP COKE AND IBOtf
.
OBTAINED BY THE AMERICAN COPPEE
COMPANY'S PROCESS.
An Oven Wbich Produces Wonderful Re
sults, Saves Time, Money and Men and
Indirectly Averts Strike Innumerable
Advantage of the New System.
The many industries which have given
Pittsburg the name of being the greatest
manulacturing center of the country have
received another addition in the shape of
the American Coppee Company. This or
ganization bas been established here for
the purpose of introducing a novel plan for
the production of coke.
In order to get some details as to the
methods of this new industry, a reporter of
this paper went to see Mr. Vaughn, the
managing director of the company, at his
office in the Hamilton building.
"The Coppee coking system," he said,
"has been established in Europe for the
last 20 years, and 15,000 coke ovens built
upon the Coppee principle are now in oper
ation in tbe Oid World. Fifteen hundred are
in England and the rest of them in Germany,
France and Belgium. An ordinary oven is
30 feet long, 5 feet high and 2 feet
wide, producing 15 tons of coke
per week at a cost of 20
1 1 II I LL
n TF I TF
cents per ton for labor, including charging,
rabbling, drawing and loading the coke.
The chief characteristic of the Coppee
system consists in the rapid carbonization
of coal by subjecting a comparatively thin
layer of It to a high temperature in a retort
like chamber, heated on the outside by the
combustion of the volatile products of such
carbonization. The cost of erecting an
oven is about the same as the bee hive, but
the repairs are extraordinarily small. In
fact experience has shown that the average
cost of repairs for one year amounts to less
than $1 per oven. Any coal can be used in
them even though poor in volatile matter,
because the coke is quenched on the outside
of the oven and it is put into a chamber,
whose sides are already red hot, and the car
bonization of coal takes place immediately.
"But the oven is not only a great money
but also a labor and time saver. There is a
steam ram attached to the oven for instance
with wbich the ovens are discharged and re
filled within nine minutes. Another ar
rangement which bas been the means of
saving immense sums of money annually, is
an appliance by which the gases arising
from the ovens during the first stage of car
bonization are generated into steam, and
utilized as fuel instead ot coal."
"How much coal does it take to produce
one ton ot coke?"
"Thatbrings us to tbe subject of coal
washing, of which we also have a method
peculiar to our system of coke manufacture.
Our coal washer brings about a radical
separation of coal and slack. It Is well
known that the purer the coal is the better
coke it makes, and the better will be the
quality of iron for the manufacture of
which the coke is used. Now it takes aty
present two tons of coal in the South- to
manufacture one ton of iron. Why? be
cause the coal is so full oi slack and. clink
ers and the system of coal wasLin'g is verj '
imperfect down there. Our coal washer;
however, separates all the slack from the
coal, and we only need 1,800 pounds of coke
produced by our system to make one ton of
iron, a clear gain of 2,200 pounds.
"However, the advantages of the Coppee
system are almost innumerable. The iron
produced from the coke made in our ovens
is of course of the highest quality. It takes
fewer men to operate them and hence strikes
are more easily averted, and the entire busi
ness of modern coke manufacture is bene
fited and advantageously revolutionized.
It takes some time to educate the people into
any innovation, but vou can safely say that
within five years the Coppee coke ovens will
take the place of every beehive oven in the
United States."
