THE LONG LOST PEOCESS Discovered by an Accident Thirty Seven Years Ao. THE UETHOD IS KEPT A SECBET. Some of the Uses to Which the Xew Prod net Mar Ee Tat. ANALTSES BY SEVERAL IXPERTS Xew Yodk, Sept. 19. The Tunes this morning says: John Sager, an inveiitor of ' Warren, Pa., claims to have discovered a process for tempering copper to the hard ness of steel. This is what inventors have been trying to do for many years, but, so iar as known, only one process has been put to the commercial test. There is a con cern in Xorth East, Pa., which has been en gaged for a year or two in the manufacture ot copper which is claimed to be almost if not quite as hard as steeL The company has found a field for its productions, and is said to be making money rapidly. Its suc cess has stimulated inventors all over the world. The Pennsylvania company uses a secret chemical process. The late William It Scott was largely interested in the en terprise. Mr. Sager was recently in this city on business connected with his invention, and lie showed a Times reporter some samples of his tempered copper, which, he declared, v as much harder than that made at JJorth East. "I believe," he said, "that I have discovered the lone-lost art of tempering copper. Tempered copper, as you know, by reason of its toughness electrical con ductivity, and comparative freedom lrom liability to produce friction, is much su perior to tempered steel, and its field of usefulness is unbounded. Accident Reealed tho Process. "I use a secret chemical process elabor ated from a discovery made bv me thirty- seven years ago. I was then a young dentist and was engaced one day in melting an old fashioned copper penny. Dentists in those days had to learn to solder the metal 'back ing for false teeth, and they were taught to become expert in melting metal with a "lowpipe. The copper penny was a hard ne to melt, and the student that could It one quickest was considered an expert jrty seconds was the record. "I had put my penny on a piece of cbar al and was abont to reduce it inside of ty seconds when an envious fellow-stn-lt knocked the charcoal from my hand 1 the penny fell by accident into a solu n. On recovering the penny I found, to great astonishment, that it was as hard iteel and would take a sharp edge. 'I followed up the suggestion, and I am r able to produce a tempered copper t is harder than steel. I can regulate copper to any degree of hardness, nc ding to the amount of heat to which I iject it before pluncing it into the chem- 1 solution. I caine to New York to get instrument which would accurately reg er the heat applied to the copper in the reliminary processes. What the Analysis Shows. "I have had my tempered copper ana- rzed by Prof. Geuth, of Philadelphia, with he following result: Silver. 0.057; copper, 9.224; tin, none; lead, none; iron, 0.G09; rsemc, 0.006; phosphorus, 0.015; total, D.91L The recent analysis by Prot. Geuth the tempered copper made at North East .owed the composition to be as follows: silver, 0.025; copper, 99.981; tin, none; zinc, none; iron,O.0S8; arsenic,0.042; phosphorus, ).01S." A dispatch from Quebec receitly stated that Ferdinand Allard, a blacksmith of that city, had succeeded in producing a tempered copper as hard as steel. 'When this dis patch was shown to Mr, Sager he declared that Allard's process was a mere hammering process. About a year ago Peter Johnson, of Das eel, Minn., claimed to have discovered a process for tempering copper to the hardness ot steel. Nothing has been heard of his in vention since. "Tempered copper will never supplant tempered steel to a general extent, not withstanding the many advantages which it is said to possess," said the editor of the Iron Age. "There has been talk to the eiltct that a genuine and successful process for tempering copper would revolutionize the world. Such talk is visionary. Copper costs too much to take the place of steel, except to a limited extent. There was the same talk when aluminium or aluminum was discovered, but aluminium has fallen somewhat flat, and the manufacturers of that metal now have to scramble to get their product on the market even at 50 cents per pound. It has been found by ex periments that aluminium does not possess enough strength for structural purposes. It is too light to be strong. Fields for the Tempered Metal. "I have neter seen any of this so-called tempered copper about which there has lately been so much wild talk by semi scientists. Tempered copper, in is way, no doubt, will prove a taluable metal, and tho extent of its value can only be determined by experiments, which may reach out in many directions. "Of late, the principal experiments in tempering copper have been conducted by the scientists for the electrical companies but with what results are not known, be cause the experiments have been kept a se cret. Telephone companies are already v hat is called a hard-drawn copper wire of great strength, of -Yankee manufacture. A very soft copper wire would make the best conductor, but it would not be able to sus tain its own weight, unless strung between rbles set closely together. If a tempered copper wire can be made that will string in long loops, thus saving poles, and will vet be a "sufficiently good conductor, a wide field for profitable manufacture will no doubt be opened up. "Highly tempered copper might be used in place of the Babbitt metal over railway axleswhich decreases lriction to a minu nium, were it not for the tact that the Bab bitt possesses what may be called an unctu ous property, which I suspect tempered copper would lack. "Tempered copper would have oue de cided advantage it would not rust, and this advantage would be most valuable in knives, forks and kitchen utensils. Hut there would be the danger from the acci dental contract with acetic acid. In damp weather copper is covered with a green de posit. Some of Its Probable Uses. 'The chief use of tempered copper would likely be in electrical appliances, and its value there would have to be established by experiments. Tempered copper might be good for armor, but even there very elab orate experiments would be needed to settle its superiority, and the process of temper ing copper would first have to be perfected. Tempered copper might be ued in vehicles lor boxes or wheels, but so much progress has been made in the manufacture ot steel sulky wheels that there seems to be little chance to improve on the present wheel, which is so light as to reduce friction to an apparent minimum. There is one direction in which the tempered copper would undoubtedly be used to advantage, and that is for marine engines, where cost is no object, but where the thine to be attained is to tret a mail. mum horse power with a minimum weight I Whether tempered copper would make a I better boiler thau steel is an open question. In England tliev prefer the copper fire box under their engines. Here we use steel and tbink it is betir. The tempered copper might serve better than iron or steel for the piping of refrigerating machines, which operate 'with ammonia and where extra heavy pipe is required because of the danger lrom the slightest leak." MRS. HARRISON BETTER. No Reason Found by the Physicians Why She Cannot Be Taken to Washington Extra Precautions Blade for the Journey by the Railroads. Loox Lake HoasE,Sept. 19. Dr. Gard ner paid a visit to Mrs. Harrison about 9 o'clock this evening and.on his return to the hotel, said that Mrs. Harrison was resting quietly and that there was nothing in the case, so far as he could see at present, that would necessitate any change in the plan of removing her to-morrow to "Washington. He said that tbe journey was naturally at tended with considerable risk, but that be never would have consented to it, if he was not fully convinced of Mrs. Harrison's ability to make it with safeiv. Mrs. Harrison has set her heart on going to Washington, and the President and the other members of the family are anxious to gratify her. Dr. Gardner said she would undoubtedly be as well off there as at Loon Lake, and there was good reason for tbe be lief that the change would be beneficial to her. The only danger was in the trans portation, and every precaution would be taken to guard against anything likely to disturb the quiet and comfort ot the" in valid. Mr. George W. "Boyd, Assistant Passenger Agent of tbe Pennsylvania road, will have "entire charge of tbe railroad arrangements. He is a personal friend of the familv, and it was at Mrs. Harrison's suggestion that he was selected for the ser vice. He will arrive here in the morning and the details ot the trip will not be com pleted until that time, as his judgment will be accepted as to tbe best route to be fol lowed. It is expected that be will bring a drawing room car specially selected by him self for the use of the President and Mrs. Harrison. The party will leave here at noon to-morrow, and expect to reach Wash ington Wednesday morning. The most troublesome part of tbe journey will be the three-mile carriage ride from the Presi dent's cottage here to tbe train and the ride from the station at Washington to the White House. IX BROAD DAYLIGHT. Two Robbers Enter a Bank and Compel the Cashier to Hand Oat Funds. Arkansas City, - Kan., Sept. 19. Isews was received here this evening of a bold raid that was made this afternoon on the btnk at Dexter, a short distance from this place. At 1:35 o'clock the cashier, J. W. Watkins, chanced to be alone in the bank. Two men with their faces concealed behind masks entered the side door of the bank and with drawn pistols commanded the cashier to hand out what money there was in the cash drawer and safe. The cashier showed reluctance, but a bullet whizzing past his bead decided him to obey, and he handed out the robbers about 3,000 in currency. They quickly secured the money, mounted horses which Had been standing "in front of the bank and rode away. The robbers were, judging from their appearance, cowboys. The shot fired in the bank drew the atten tion of the few people who were on the street in the vicinity, but before thev could locate the shot the robbers had made their escape. A-posse has started in pursuit. ISAAC P. GBAY'S 0FIHI0NS. He Thinks the Domocarts "Will Carry In diana "Without a Doubt. New York, Sept 19. Specia'. Ex Governor Isaac Pnsey Gray, of Indiana, ar rived at the Fifth Avenue Hotel this even ing on a business trip. "It is very quiet," he said when asked regarding the po litical situation in Indiana. "I do not remember having seen bo quiet a Presidental campaign before. This is true of both sides. We will see very little of the paraphernalia which are usual accom paniments of such a contest, and 'campaign equipment concerns will suffer. "Matters may liven up later, but there is little prospect that business will suffer be-' cause of political excitement. Our meet ings have been good, despite the seeming lack of interest, and it is my honest opinion that the Democrats will carry the State for both the .electoral and the State tickets. There is no doubt that the glass workers in the natural gas belt will all vote the Republican ticket." Concern ing iue pussiuiiiiy ui iieveiaua carrying Illinois the Governor said that there is an increased vote of over 100,000 since 1888 to be considered and it is not possible to say how that will be cast. EUCCTJJIBED TO TEE BUJ". Another London Building and Loan Society Inolied In the Crash. London, Sept 19. The London Com mercial Deposit Building Society, of this city, did not open for business this morning. A notice was posted on the door, staling that in consequence of the increasing num ber of applications for withdrawal, the di rectors were compelled to take the neces sary steps to dissolve the society. The society was founded in 186& It is a small concern. Its lasts returns showed that it had 587 members and that its anunal receipts averaged 137,000. The manager says that the society will pay the deposi tors according as their notices of withdrawal were received. After the depositors are settled with the shareholders will be paii He added that he hoped the shareholders would receive 16 shillings on the pound. A WEST CHESTEB MUBDEB, The "Victim Did Not See Ills Assailant, But Said It Was Ills Hired Man. West Chester, Pa., Sept 19. On the morning of September 7, John W. Shaffner, a wealthy farmer of Charlestown township, was found lying unconscious on the floor of his barn with his spine broken and two bruises on the back of his head. When he reoovered consciousness Mr. Shaffner said he had been attacked the night before and knocked from the haymow to the floor. He said that he had a quarrel that day with his hired man, Benjamin Wagoner, and that although he did not see his assail ant, he believed Wagoner was the man who struck him. Mr. Shaffner died this morn ing, and Wagoner was .arrested and will be held to await the action of the Coroner. Lively Times In theJTwenty-Fourth District John F.

Shocked the Carrier. As tbe linemen were making some altera tions on the overhead wires yesterday between Seventeenth and Eighteenth streets on Penn avenue, a live wire dropped. It touched an iron lamp-post to which a. mail box is attached just as the collector was making his round. He received a very bad shock, but was able to resume his work. Doing Business Without a Charter. Harrisbcko, Sept 19. Sptcial In surance Commissioner Luper has notified the Attorney General's Department that the Brush Creek Protective Association, of urusu urees, weaver county, is doing busi ness without a charter. C H. Coleman is President of the concern and M. E. Header Secretary. 1 f i TLT AT "DAf TTTPQ j Uil 1 11 Vil I VJL11 1 JU, He Says the Country Will Stand by Harrison and Prosperity. HIS PORTRAYAL OP CLEVELAKD. A Vivid Comparison of the Two Candidates for the Presidency. THE INCUJIRENTS GEEAT RECORD Washinton, Sept 19. George Alfred Townsend, the well-known journalist, who resides on a mountain side, near Hagers town, Md., accorded the editor of a local newspaper the other day an interview on National politics. Asked as to the probable result of tbe Presidental election, he said that in his opinion Mr. Harrison would be elected easier this time than before. Asked what he based his belief on, he replied: "On my interconrse with the business men ol New York. They want nothing of the Democratic party. Its existence, not to say its return, threatens every cheerful and prosperous employment in the land. Mr. John G. Moore, of the great banking and brokerage firm of Moore & Schley, said to md that the business ele ment was practically solid for Har rison. Edgar Johnson, of the law nrm ot ex-Governor Hoadley, ot Ohio, a Democrat, said that Ben Harrison had been bis fellow law pupil and was always brave and affectionate and able, and, he added, "he has given us first-class judges, like Brown and Brewer, while Cleveland's ap pointees, Fuller and Lamar, have written socialistic and demagogic opinions which ought to disgust every sound lawyer in the land. Prosperity Due to Republicanism. "The condition of the country is highly prosperous, and it is due to tbe business genius of Republican legislation. When ever we have the Republicans in power every hand and heart takes courage. The Democratic party never has any hope ex cept in panio and disaster. Their candi date, Cleveland, is only heard from in criticism, while Harrison's utterances are all congratulation. The one is a hectoring and monotonous critic; the other a constructive and suggettivc snirit. The one gives you a helping hand; the other a mess of dogmatic conceit. The let ter of Harrison is irrefutable in facts. He was a brave soldier and sees things with fortitude; the other sent a substitute to the war, though he had no chick nor wife de pendent upon him, and he sees everything like a Bkedaddler. "Do you know both Cleveland and Har lison?" "I know them both. Mr. Cleveland is diseasedly sensitive. .He takes pains to in sult every person who hasn't paid him the homage due a despot He chooses his friends' houses to insult his friends' guests. Mr. Whitelaw Eeid, I am told, at the house of Mr. Whitney, afterward his secretary, said to Mr. Cleveland: The election is over; come and dine with me.' 'No,' replied Cleve land, 'your paper said I was not a centle- man.' It would be a poetical justioe to see a brute lice that sent to his lriendless re morse by Mr. Held in this election." Harrison an Able Statesman. "Yon were not in favor of Harrison's re nomination?" "I thought Mr. Blaine deserved the Presi dency. He has been the leader of the Re publican party ever since Grant's Presi dency. The whole genius of this tariff defense was Blaine's. But it frequently happens that a leader parts with so much o'f his temperament in exuberance that he is less fitted than another to do the President's work. The business and discreet interest of the land selected Harrison and means to support him; I tbink that, next to Blaine, and perhaps Sherman, he is our ablest statesman. He belongs to the type of men like William the Silent, and 'Wash ington and Grant, whose wisdom restrains their effusiveness, who watch and wait and learn. The Democratic party, nl ways riding backward, never sees a great man till it has passed him. General Harri son has been a firm supporter of the lessons he has learned. As his grandfather over threw Jackson, the graudson will bury this preposterous Cleveland, who is a fat and feeble pupil of the Republican party. The story of Cleveland's one term is: " 'He is not as bad as bis party.' But he is a dema gogue, if with a different lot of questions from other demagogues. His disgraceful episode with the British Minister showed that he was" capable of insulting the Na tion's guest as well as fhe guest of his friend's table. Hard on Grover and Steve. "He was three years finding out that the tariff was a grievance and when it broke him down he had a protection platform made for this year, which was reported by Vilas and Jones, but the inflammatory con vention would not demagogue with him, and declared in favor of scuttling the Na tion forthwith. Such a man, with bis diseased sensitiveness and fat and dropsical body, may either turn out a Henry VIIL or leave the office to that Illinois windbag, Stevenson, whom every business man look's upon with contempt To turn the country over to the solid South and the foreign anarchists would be to give away our birthright The election of Harrison will forever end the solid South and raise the section to the dignity of tol eration of opinion, the want of which has deprived them of new settlers. Nothing but Cleveland's own term has preserved the Democratic party to this time. Its tra ditions, derived from Jefferson. Jackson and Calhoun, are all at war with the necessities of our day. We want a homo geneous country, with diversified in dustries, national money, good order and respect for the laws. By beating Cleveland we beat tbe last apology for a hero that organization of heresies and illit eracies has. It degraded the civil service under Jackson; it never dared to challenge our tariff system till it failed to undermine our public credit and our splendid system of currency. Its attack upon American manufacturers shows how little else was left to complain of; tbey are attacked be cause they are successful." MEXICAN CLEEICALS STIEEED UP, Komero's Bill Threatens the Seizure of a Vast Amount of Chnrch Property. Monterey, Mexico, Sept 19. The news that Minister of Finance Bomero has presented to Congress a measure declaring to be good the titles to land formerly be longing to the Church, but now owned by private citizens, has created a sensation among the members of the Clerical party in this city and throughout the Republic, There is a vast amount of property still held by the Church 'in Mexico, which, under the provisions of the new law, is liable to seizure. In San' Luis Potosi and Saltillo the Clericals are holding public demonstra tions against the proposed law, and every effort will be made to defeat its passage. A NOBLEMAN GOES H&D And Fires From His Hotel Upon Passers by In the Court Yard. Berlin, Sept 19. Prince Anton Badzl will, one of the most popular noblemen in Germany, has become suddenly insane at Lodz, in BuBsian Poland, while en route to join the Czar's Hungary party at Spala. He appeared at a window of the Grand Hotel in Lodz yesterday, armed with a rifle and two revolvers, with which he fired at the people in the court yard, wounding two servants. He was overpowered by soldiers after a desperate struggle. The New Castle Car Robbers. NEW CASTLE, Sept 19. Special a C Hardy, conductor, and William Mc- Mahon, yardmaster of the Pittsburg and Western, of this city, who pleaded guilty to charge of receiving goods stolen from a Pittsburg and Western freight car, were to day sentenced to the penitentiary for one year.

A Brand New AVItness Claims to Have Seen Him Shoot Officer Grant San Francisco, Sept ia The Ex aminer says the missing witness in the case of M. B. Curtis, the actor charged with the killing of Policeman Alexander Grant on the night of 'September 11, 1891, has been found in the person of J. W. Cann, who has been engaged in business at Fortuna, Hum boldt county. Cann says that whiie.golng home that night his attention was attracted by a scuffle between the officer and a man whom he had arrested. Having been an officer in Idaho, Cann states that he watched the proceeding with interest, and, being near by on the opposite side of the street, was able to distinguish both parties. As the arrested man persisted in refusing to accompany the officer the latter placed his nippers on the right haud and at tempted "to pull the man along. The pris oner then reached behind him with his left hand and. pulline a pistol from his pocket. shot the policeman from across his breast. As the officer fell the prisoner shot him again and then ran. Cann ays he did not tell the police what he had seen, as he had bought a ticket to leave San Francisco on a steamer the next dav, and being short of funds did not .wish to be detained. ,He was finally tracked by detectives to Fortuna and summoned to appear at the second trial of Curtis on the 26th inst Cann, who is 70 years of age, is being kept secluded by the detectives. A SOLID SILVEB STATUE. Adaltehan to Bo the Model for a Valuable Figure at the Ialr. Chicago, Sept 19. Special. A statue in solid silver, eight feet in height, costing 550,000 and standing upon 5250,000 worth of gold compressed into a pedestal, will be one of the exhibits at the World's Fair, from Montana. The pedestal will represent the largest lump of gold ever seen. Sculptor It H. Park will receive 510,000 for the model. Never in the history of the world has a statue of heroic proportions been cast wholly in precious metals, except, perhaps, one of Cleopatra, the existence of which was never authenticated by the most expert silversmith in the country. Miss Ada Behan has consented to be the model for Mr. Park's statue. He will co to New York next week for tho necessary study. Miss Behan is considered to be physically one of tho most perfect types ot American womanhood, her artistic ability also enhancing her value as a mode), which is to be viewed by so many thousands. The figure will represent Jus tice standing on the globe with advanced foot resting on the continent of North America. In her left hand she holds bal ances equally poised, one side of which is filled with gold and the other with silver coin. In her right hand she holds the sword with arm extended. Tho figure designates ideal womanhood. WAITING FOE A THBONE. The Comte de Paris Sure lie Is to Shortly lteign Over France. London, Sept 19. The Comte de Paris is said to entertain the belief that something will happen in Europe within the next two years which may result in his being called to the throne of France, and he didn't like the idea of his eldest son starting upon an other long tour, but he finally gave bis con sent in deference to the wishes of his family and friends, who argue that if the young prince remained in Europe, kicking his heels in idleness, he would surely get into some serious scrape. The Count and certain discreet friends have managed to "square" an action for di vorce brought by Captain Armstrong against his wife. Madam Melba, the prima donna, on account of her alleged misconduct with the Duke of Orleans, and the society of every European capital is thereby de prived ot tbe details ot what was expected to be a most piquant scandal. If the Count, the Duke and the Captain have their way, the world will not be made ac quainted with the terms of the settlement Madam Melba has always scornfully denied the charge brought against her, and her friends assert that she has not been privy to its formal abandonment ETJICHEBED ON A LOUNGE, A Pottsvillo Man's Throat Cut "While Sleep ing in His Own House.', Pottstille, Sept 19. Martin Nobling at a late hour last night walked into bis wife's bedroom with his throat cut from ear to ear, his windpipe being severed. Nobling had been sleeping from early evening on a lounge on the first floor, and, according to his story, was attacked while lying there by someone unknown to him. A razor covered with blood was found under the lounge, and when he saw it brought out he asked how it came there and requested that it be put away, as it was too dull, and he never used it His wife claims that insanity is hereditary in the family, but some of the neighbors say that Nobling has several times threatened to kill his wife and a boarder named John Fread, and it is feared there has been lonl play. As Nobling iu bis prostrate state swears he was assaulted and cut, Fread has been com mitted to await the result of the man's in juries. Nobling may die at any moment. Ono Democratic Paper Less. Washington, Pa., Sept. 19. Special The Review and Examiner, a Democratic paper published in this city for many years past, has suspended publication. Some months ago it was changed into a semi weekly, with Mr. Cooper as editor. Lack of business is assigned as a cause for the suspension. This leaves Washington with "only" four dailies, Beven weeklies and two monthlies. An Alleged World's Fair Extortion. Berlin, Sept 19. The Tissiche Zeitung charges that American railways and express companies are conspiring to compel Ger man exhibitors to pay the exorbitant rate of $3 per hundred wefght for the transporta tion of goods from New York to Chicago, and says that unless this wrong is redressed European exhibitors must withdraw from the Chicago Fair.

SUNDAY PAPERS 0. K. A Clause Against Them in Methodist Conference Resolutions STRICKEN 0DT OF THE REPORT. Congress isked to Stand by Its ictlon on World's Fair Closing. 1 FDLL LIST OP THE APPOINTMENTS fSrFCIAL TELEOBAU TO THS Dig PATCH. 1 ' Steubenville, Sept. 19. For six hours to-day rival factions of Scio and ML Union College waged bitter war on the floor of the East Ohio Methodist conference. ML Union College has been getting funds ot which Scio wants a portion. At last, Hon. Lewis Miller, who gave liberally on condition" that the ohurch give like amount, settled the fighting over the majority and minority reports, by stating that if the funds were divided he would withdraw his offer. On a vote, ML Union won. Dr. Smith, editor of the Pittsburg Clinittm Advocate, made a plea for that paper. The report of the Committee on the Sanctity of Sunday condemned Sunday business of alj sorts, and asked Congress to stand by its action in relation to the closing of the AVorld's Fair. The report also recommended that ministers withhold pat ronage from all papers publishing Sunday editions. Dr. Holz moved to strike out that part of th e report asking ministers to withhold patronage from papers publishing Sunday editions. The motion carried. The committee on temperance reported that the c hurch was in favor of moral sua sion as well as prohibition. The committee also presented a resolution to the effect that mem bers of conference svill not support any pa rty that is not opposed to the liquor traffi c The report was adopted.

Special Last week a baby show was held in Potts town at which 05 babies competed for a kitchen range. One, a child named Schlie ter, won this "beautiful and appropriate toy, and now. the mothers of the 04 other cherubs are raving and charging at the judges of the show in a manner to put the wildest tiger to shame. They hold that one of tbe judges, a man named McCormick, frorn Philadelphia, was an uncle to the Schlieter child, and that he influenced his broher critics unduly. Mrs. Patrick Sheehan said yesterday that she had been so confident of her baby win ning the range, that a few davs before the exhibition she sold her old kitchen stove; afterwards she was compelled to buy back the stove for a dollar more than she had sold it for. She spoke through tears. Mrs. John Vigors exhibited an 11-months-old baby that weiehed 26 pounds and had hair 4 inches long. This baby conld pronounce "elephant" and other difficult trisyllables with wondious facility, and had a full set of teeth. The Schlieter baby, she claimed, was in com parison with hers a hideous brute. Dozens of other mothers are equally disappointed and enraged, and the three judges have with one voice sworn never to act in so difficult a capacity again. BIG CAMPAIGN MEETING! Arrangements Made by the Republican Committee to Hold Several. New York, SepL 19. Special Ar rangements have been made by the Repub lican National Committee for some big campaign meetings in Philadelphia at which Governor McKinley, Secretary Tracy and Senators Frye and Sherman will speak. The meetings are to be held to assist in the work of raising money for use in closer States. Tom Dolan and Hamilton Disston are said to have interested the Manufac turers' Club of Philadelphia in the meetings. Competition In Indutirlcs. A sineular illustration of the way in which one industry will modify or destroy another was given in a paper read before the Asiatic Society of Bombay. The chief of the Veterinary Department of the British Army, who read the paper, showed how the business of horse breeding in many districts in India had, practically, been destroyed by tbe tremendous increase in the export of wheat and cotton. In places where for merly one could easily find fifteen ortwenty mares in a village, now none or only one or two exist The reason is that more money is to be made out of grain and cotton than out of horse rearing.
