A Few Words to Delinquents.
One year ago today the TRIBUNE office
was partially destroyed by fire. It was
at that time considered by practical '
publishers as a model country printing
house, and tho almost total loss of the
material and stock, as well as part of
the machinery, was felt keenly by the
proprietor. The encouragement receiv
ed from friends and patrons imbued us
with a hope of being able to overcome
the misfortune, and in a short while the
TRIBUNE reappeared. From that time
until the present date there has been a
steady outlay of money. Every depart
ment of the business has been added to
and altered to make it perfect in its
lino. The gasoline engine which was
wrecked was replaced with a boiler and
engine which is pronounced by me
chanics to bo the neatest, best and
most perfect in its line. The excellent
newspaper press in use a year ago
had to give way to a larger and faster
one. The job press was thoroughly re
built and made equal to new, and a
high-grade folding machine was added
to the press room. In the composing
and stock rooms the change has been as
great, if not more so. The latest and
most improved material has been pur
chased, and with the best and most ser
viceable faces of type, work is turned out
quicker and better than before. In size
and assortment, the stock of paper,
cards, etc., carried is four times larger
than the ordinary newspaper and job
printing houses have on hand, and the
largest kind of orders are filled from our •
• helves Without delay. In addition, the J
printing office has steam heat and eloc- j
trie light in every part, and everything
arranged with a view to further con
venience and comfort.
These improvements, as stated before,
have required a large outlay of money.
The year of 1895 has not been one of ;
great'prosperity in any line of business,
and newspapers especially have felt tin
effects of depression with more or less
severity. The TRIBUNE, we arc pleased
to say. has retained all Its old friends
and patrons and added many new ones,
and by the prompt attention to business
and the quality of service rendered, it
has been favored with no small share of
the work of this vicinity. For this up- !
preciation of our efforts we are indeed
grateful, and more so because of the ■
fact that payment is promptly rendered
when Dills are presented, with some few
exceptions. The men who honor their
obligations are the best friends to any
business, and it is to these that thanks
arc duo for our success.
The exceptional cases are in the sub
scription department, principally. Tin
bills for the paper are smaller in
amounts than those for printing and ad
vertising, yet for some reason unknown
it is more difficult to collect a bill for
subscription than one of any other kind.
This paper does not insist upon a cash
in advance payment, but we expect to
be paid some time within a year from
the date on the subscriber's paper, if
not, then as soon as a year's subscrip
tion is duo. On account of the slack
work at the mines we have not dunned
our delinquents according to our oppor
tunities, but have dealt with them gen
erously. The subscribers on our list
who owe for a year or more are there
bccauso we presume they are honest
and believe they will pay us. We d>
not take them to bo of the class that
make a practice of "beating" news
papers. That kind of people has wreck
ed many a good newspaper, but we
don't think they will do so with this one.
Therefore, to such subscribers as may
owe for a year or more, wi wisli to state
plainly that wo expect payment. The
money invested in this business since a
year ago today was not placed there for
the accommodation of careless payers,
but to equip a plant for publishing a
newspaper and doing printing. We
have briefly outlined the reason why we
have been under heavy expense for the
past year, and while that may or may
not interest the delinquents, we men
tion it so they will understand fully that
the money due us is needed. The TRI
BUNE does not ask for nor accept chari
ty, alms or anything elso outside of what
is justly owed, and i 11*111 aking this state- '
moot to our debtors at this time we |
want all who find themselves in the class
referred to, to govern themselves as j
promptly as possible. The end of the ,
year is drawing nigh, and we want them !
to prove their honesty by paying their
debts or take their place on the "dead
beat" list.

CINCINNATI'S BIG BELL

Liberty bell is at last to have a rival.
Libert,' bell is at last to have a rival.
Not, indeed, in fame, nor in the hearts of
the people. In those respects it will
ever stand unrivaled. But in size, at
least, a rival—or rather, a superior—is
now being made ready for the massive
belfry in the suburbs of Cincinnati
where it is soon to swing, and ring out
the loudest peal that has ever vibrated
upon the free air of America. Doubt
less by the time these words appear in
print the molten metal will have flowed
hissing down the channels iuto the curi
ously constructed mold, and the biggest
bell ever cast on this side of the Atlantic
will be cooling in the great pit con
structed to receive it. For the new bell
is to weigh nearly 15 tons; and the
great bell in the cathedral at Montreal,
hitherto the largest on the American
POLISniNQ THE U7TEBIOB.
continent, weighs rather less Than 13
tons. It will take rank, therefore, very
creditably, among the largest bells of
the world—the largest in England, the
Westminster bell, weighing about the
same, while one in Vienna, the largest
in actual use in Europe, weighs about 20
tons. It IR true that the monster of
Moscow, which lies broken and pros
trate, weighed more than 200 tons; but
it was simply a huge mistake, which
having failed as a bell is now used as a
chapel. It is stated, too, that there is
n monstrosity somewhere in China t.hat
weighs about Go tons; but its shape is
abominable, and its tone excruciating
to any but a Celestial ear.
But these figures of weight convey
but o very vague idea of size. The
great Chinese cat-call is said to be 14
fret in height, but it is shaped like a
barrel. The Cincinnati bell, which is
cast in the true proportions for beauty
and melody— being modeled after a bell
in Erfurt, Prussia, which is accounted
the sweetest in the world—is seven feet
in height and nine in diameter at the
Lase. That is to say, if it rested, mouth
THE MO
downward, on the ground, the tallest
man could stand upright under it; and i
if it were sot on edge, and a schoolboy
were to cling with his hands to the
upper rim, his foot would dangle about
where the clapper will hang when the
boll is finally in position. Thisclnppei
will weigh no less than 040 pounds.
Imagine the effect when it comes in
collision with 15 tons of resonant bell ,
metal! Nowhere else in the world is
such a mass actually swung. The di- |
ameter of the wheel is 15 feet, und two |
ropes will he attached. It isst ipulnted, j
indeed, that the hell shall be so poised
that one man can ring it; hut unless
the services of Sandow eotjld he secured
as sexton the task would he altogether
too arduous—hence the double rope.
Hells have been east which required
the combined effort of more than 20
men to swing them; but. bell hanging,
as well as hell founding, lias made no
small progress, and such cumbersome
arrangements belong to the days of
creaking ox carts and wooden plows.
The ornnmentation of the Cincinnati
hell is believed to he more elaborate
thai that of any other in existence.
Civi • and ecclesiastical decorations will
both ha l .e place, making it ut once an
emblem of patriotic feeling, and a cei*
; sccrated instrument of worship. En
cirelii g the body of the bell, just abovi
the sounding bow, is the Latin text of
the Lord's Prayer in true Gothic char
acters about seven inches high. Above
tills, on the civic half, the American
I eagle hovers over the great seal of the
I United States—an impression of which
! was sent directly from the white house.
Beneath this is the seal of the state of
Ohio, pierced by the staff that supports
the stars and stripes, which fall in
! graceful folds on either side; and be
neath this is the seal of the city of Cin
cinnati. Medallions of the deceased
donor and family complete the design.
On the ecclesiastical half of the bell,
under the surmounting tiara, is a me
dallion of Pope Leo XIII., with his seal
beneath it. Just below is the medallion
of Rt. Rev. W ill in 111 Henry Elder, arch
bishop of Cincinnati, through which arc
crossed the staffs of the papal banners.
Right and left of this medallion are two
others—of Archbishop Purcell, and of
Bishop Fenwick, the first bishop of Cin
elnnnti. Beneath the central medal
lion is one of Vicar General Albrink.
Around the crown, or upper part, in
Gothic relief, are two verses of mediae
val Latin hexameters relating to bells,
which read as follows:
I,undo Deura verum, plebum voco, congregi
clerum;
Funcra prango, fulgura frango, Sabbata
pango.
Thin may be approximately, though
not completely, rendered by tha qualm
old English lines:
To callo ye fold© utt© meeting tyme.
We chyine;
When Joyo and myrth are on ye vrynge,
We rynga;
When we Inmente a pasayng eoule,
We toil©."
It will be noticed that great syci
mot rv litis boon at tained by thin arrange
merit. The eagle is opposite the tiarn.
and the American flag to the papal on
e'gn; the seal of the United States cor
responds lo that of Home; and t lie an rue
artistic balance is maintained in all
the parts.
The general form of the church bell
was perfected by medieval founders,
niul 110 radical change from this has
ever been made with good results. It
has been argued by some that bells of
hemispherical shape, without the usual
flare at the bottom, would give a purer
tone, but this theory is not in accord
with the facts. Tha lines of tha new
hell differ quite considerably from those
which are usual. The exact proportions
were-determined by Mr. F. P. Lot/, su
perintendent of the Buckeye foundry,
where the hell iscnst, according to a rule
of his own devising—but this rule is
carefully regarded as n trade secret,
too valuable for publication. The
metal used is the usual alloy of copper
and tin in the ratio of 78 to 22. No other
metals or proportions give so satisfac
tory a result. The idea that an admix
ture of silver will sweeten the tone is a
popular delusion.
To produce such a casting requires,
when all is ready, upwards of eighty
hours, and the slightest mismanage
ment would result in failure. JC\cn wit*
cooling must he carefully regulated.
'I here is perhaps hut one other foundry
in the United States—that at Troy, N.
V., where the Columbian liberty bell
was east-—in which such a work could
be successfully carried through.
The pastor of the church of the bells
is I'ev. A. M. Quart-man. A parishioner,
Joseph O. Buddeke, bequeathed SIO,OOO
to defray the cost of this great work;

CONGRESS 111 SESSION
Reed Elected Speaker by a
Majority of 102.
The IluUs of the Flfiy-flrsl Congress
Adopted in the Hons* Officers
Chosen—Organisation of the Sen
ate—Wailing for the President's
Message, Due at Neon To-day.
Washington, Dee. 3. —The machinery
for the organization of the house of
representatives worked yesterday in a
very satisfactory manner and without
the slightest jar. Mr. Reed of Maine,
in pursuance of the unanimous decis
ion of the republican caucus, was
elected to the speakership by a vote of
234. as against 95 for Mr. Crisp of
Georgia, the democratic candidate: six
for Mr. Bell of Colorado, the populist
candidate, and one for Mr. Culberson
of Texas, democrat. Mr. Reed's speech
in taking the chair was hrief and in
cisive. lie would not speak for the
past, he said; the past could speak for
itself. Nor should he speak of the
future, as they were not now putting
off the harness, but putting it on. But
he suggested that those who had acted
with wisdom in the past might be fairly
expected to act with wisdom in the
future.
Officers and Rules of the House.
After the onth of office had been ad
ministered to the speaker and all the
members the next step in the republi
can programme—the election of offi
cers— was taken, and Messrs. McDow
ell of Pennsylvania, Russell of Mis
souri, Glenn of New York, McElroy of
Ohio, and Couden of Michigan were
chosen ns clerk, eergeant-at-arms,
doorkeeper, postmaster and chaplain,
respectively. The rules of the fifty
first congress were adopted for the
government of the house in the pres
ent congress, after an assurance from
Mr. Cannon, rep.. 111., who had offered
the resolution, that they would here
after be referred to the committee on
rules, and that the house would have
an opportunity to discuss the report of
the committee. That assurance seemed
to satisfy Mr. Crisp, dera., Ga., who
had raised the question, and the mat
ter went through without further con
tention. After some frirther prelimi
nary proceedings and a drawing for
scats in the usual manner, perhaps
somewhat in contravention of the
anti-lottery law. and in which drawing
many of the prizes fell to some of the
least known of the members, and many
of the blanks to some of the most dis
tinguished, the house, at 3:35 p. in.,
adjourned till noon to day.
In the Senate.
There was an unuaually large at
tendance of senators when the fifty
fourth congress convened at noon, the
only recorded absentees being Mr.
Hill of Naw York, Mr. Lindsay of
Kentucky, Mr. VToleott of Colorado
and the two senators from Louisiana.
Mr. Palmer of Illinois and Mr. Jones
of Arkansas were absent during the
I first part of the proceedings, but came
in time for adjournment. The only in
teresting featura ef the proceedings
was the swearing in of the new sen
ators. Being officially advised that the
president's message would net be de
livered till noon to-day the senate im
mediately thereafter adjourned till
that time.
Democratic Officers.
Three hours were consumed by the
house democrats in caucus last evening
■electing the four officials of their parly
to which they art entitled bv their mi
nority representation. The Vetera u
Gbioan, Col. Isaac Hill, who was the
deputy sergeant-at-arms of the last
congress, was sleeted special employe
over FT TV. Moler of Illinois, who held
the office of cashier in the fifty-third
congress. After a long discussion, in
terspersed with numerous roll calls,
Geo. L. Browning of Virginia and Thos.
< okley of New York were elected
special messengers. The caucus fin
ished its work by electing J as. F.
English of California, page.

Attempt To Bnrn Remedies.
Remedies, Nov. 24, via Key West,
Dec. B.—Great excitement end alarm
prevailed in this city yesterday. The
bell of the railroad foundry rang out
the alarm of Are end the people ran
from their houses screaming that the
insurgents had sot fire to the foundry
and were coming into the city. All the
authorities and forces went to the place
immediately and found the building in
flames. It being a feast day the rebels
took advantage of it and a small group
appeared and compelled two boys who
were there to wet the frame walls of
the foundry with petroleum. This
done they applied the toroh and part of
the building was burned. The prompt
arrival of the troops aud firemen pre
vented the loss of the entire building.
It was afterwards learned that it was
the plan of the insurgents to enter the
city, but the precautions taken by the
authorities frustrated it. Many young
men were ready to Join them had they
succeeded in entering the city.
Separatist Sentiment In Cuba.
New York, Dec. 3.—A prominent
Cubsn to-day received a letter dated
in Havana November 27, the following
paragraph from which shows the en
thusiasm and strong spirit of independ
ence possessed by every Cuban in the
island: "There is not a shadow of
doubt but that the sentiment of all the
Cubans is essentially separatist. It is
clearly evinced by the admiration
awakened by the revolutionists in their
efforts to push forward our province;
it is evinced by the praises sung in all
the Cuban homes to Gomez, Roloff,
Rabi, Carrillo, Sanchez, Zayas and
other chiefs; it is shown by tho rejoic
ings with which the news of every
Spanish defeat is received, and no less
so by the universal approval expressed
for the radical, out necessary', war
measure of destroying the sugar cane
fields, which simply means to destroy
the wealth of the country. And it is
more than approval; it is demanded by
all that the measure be executed to the
fullest extent so that the revolution
may triumph. I have been surprised
to find that the planters themselves
whose estates are threatened by the
measure join in the general demand,
and declare that they arc perfectly
willing to undergo the sacrifice in or
der tnat freedom and independence bo
achieved."
