SOME VERY REMARKABLE- PRODUCT8
OF WONDERFUL SKILL.
Two Bladed Swords That Are Valuable
Cariositie "Wespona That Display a
High Decree of Workmanship Terri
ble looking Daggers.
Though Dr. Bedloc, the United States
consul to Amor, China, has started back
to his post after his leave of absence,
yet through the delays "incident to the
shipping of goods from such far p2
lands and in getting them through the
custom honse, some of his most inter
esting and .valuable relics arrived only
a few days ago.
In his room at the Bellevue a reporter
found the genial consul resting content
edly after his breakfast, as his eye roved
contemplatively over a number of the
most deadly and awful weapons ever
conceived or executed by ma?. When
asked about these curiously ugly 6words
the doctor said:
"I was asked to execute a commission
for the Rev. Dr. C. M. Shepherd, the
distinguished Nebraska divine, a gentle
man, who though a man of, peace, has
one of the finest, if not the very best,
collections of swords and other weapons
in the world. This led to my examining
several hundred rare and curious weap
ons sent me for inspection and approval,
and these are a few of those I selected.
No two are alike, and not one but what
displays rare skill and inventive power
on the part of the Chinese swordsmith.
"The handsomest of all is a general's
saber, about 4 feet long, slightly Jap
anese in style, with an edge like a razor
and a point that would extort admira
tion from Colgnel Jack Chin, of Louis
ville. Unlike our ownrthe thickest part
of the blade is the center. This gives
great weight to the weapon, joined to
the appearance of extreme lightness.
The scabbard is made of hard, tough
wood, lacquered to represent black iron
incrusted with mother-of-pearl. The
hilt is of black iron, molded in the form
of a full blown rose, tho petals of which
have been drilled with snall holes and
these filled with bright brass bars.
"The most curious of the lot to my
eye is the so called warrior's two bladed
sword from Ho-nan. It is only about
two feet long and in tho scabbard looks
very like the sword bayonet of our own
army. The scabbard is plain but very
neat and covered with wuito shagreen
or sharkskin and trimmed with brass
mountings. "When you draw it the
blade divides into two, each a facsimile
of the other, double edged and spear
pointed. The twin blades have a re
markable decoration mado by drilling
seven holes about an inch and a half
and put in a zigzag line from hilt to
point. These are filled with pure cop
per, which i3 ground down to form a
smooth surface flush with the steel and
polished to brightness.
"These seven stars, as theyare called,
are found in nearly all tho martial
weapons of Ho-nau and are relics of the
old astrologic faith that still prevails in
many parts of China. Its hold is so
strong that if the copper falls out of one
of the sword holes it is accepted as ,a
sure precursor of death, and the luckless
wielder of the blade usually commits
suicide to eseapo further trouble.
"The short stabbing daggers which
find favor chiefly with pirates and revo
lutionists, form a strong contrast .with
the weapons described. They are gen
erally so ugly that they would bo lidi
crous were it not for tho purposes to
which they are applied. I have one
which looks like a queerly made ace of
spades fastened into a wire bound han-
HOW SHE EARNED HER CAR FARE.
"Still another dagger is about tho
clumsiest affair of the kind I ever han
dled. Tho blade is a foot long, about
three inches wido and half an inch
thick. With its heavy brass hilt and-
gigantic guard it weighs over threes
pounds. If set with a long handle it
could be used as an ax. It is used chief
ly by the Black Flags and other Celes
tial outlaws, who, in addition to using
it in the ordinary manner, throw it with
fatal precision.
"The ex-resident of Tonqnin told me
that during the late war he had known
instances in which tho knives were
thrown with such force that they would
go through a man's body and show two
inches of bloody steel bej-ond his back.
The handles of many of these instru
ments of death are finished with what
we call pistol grips.
"The most dreadful looking weapon
of all was the executioner's sword used
by the late headsman of Amoy. It is of
Manchurian type, being long, almost
straight, very heavy and keenly, edged.
It is used with one hand and isshaped
and wound so as to give the executioner
a powerful hold upon his weapon. Upon
tho blade near the hilt are Chinese char
acters recording the tragic events in
which it has taken active part.. .My in
terpreter told me that they record no
less than 193 human lives which it has
taken out of this world. This record
enhances its value. A new sword of
the same kii-d could be bought for ten
or twelve dollars, but for this sword
with its ghastly history tho thrifty
broker wanted $200 cash.
"He evidently thought, although it
came high, I must have it, and accord
ingly raised the ante. He was a very
heartbroken creaturo when I returned-ifc
with the editorial line so familiar to tho
spring poet, 'Declined with thanks.' A
word of caution as to these oriental
swords and uaggers. Very many of them,
are poisoned, so that a mere scratch will
cause death. The venom is produced by
steeping the blade in decayed human
blood, and is ono of thi deadliest known
to physiological science." Philadelphia
Times.
A Woman's Ingenious Device for Making
Money When She Was Hani tip.
A woman who is now one of the most
promising artists in this city, and was
lucky enough to get two of her pictures
accepted by the Academy, told this story
of how she earned her first few pennies
in this big town:
'jWhen I came here five years ago 1
had just twenty-five dollars in my pock
et. I got a room or rather a cubby
hole next to the roof in a boarding
house on Fourth avenue. It was three
weeks before I got anything to do. Then
a place was offered to mo as a primary
teacher in a private school. The salary
when you got it was fair enough in
amount. But unfortunately you didn't
get it until the end of the month.
"By this time there was such a tre
mendous hole in my twenty-five dollars
that I couldn't afford to move up town
The expressage alone would have made
a bankrupt of me, for I had absolutely
come to such a pass that I hadn t enough
money to pay my car fare to the school
and back. I explained the situation to
the landlady. She really was a dear old
thing. She told me I wasn't to worry
about my board bill. She was perfectly
willing to wait for her money until the
end of the month.
"That was one weight off my mind
of course, but I had still to grapple with
tho car faro problem. I was in a dread
ful pickle realh'. For four days I
walked every inch of the way i) miles
each journey. I used to leave the house
at 7 in the morning so as to reach tho
school promptly at 9.
"Then I found that my French heels
were beginning to give out, so I saw
that my efforts to save money by pedes
trianism would only get me into deeper
water. Suddenly I had an inspiration.
"There were three old maiden sistqrs
who occupied the double bedded room
oh tho second floor. They were with
out exception the fattest women I ever
saw. The most etherial of the three
weighed 800 if she weighed a pound.
They were all saleswomen in one of the
big Sixth avenue stores. They used to
scramble down to breakfast in the morn
ing in a fluster at the last moment.
"One of them confided to me that it
was their shoes which always delayed
them. They almost expired every morn
ing in their attempts to button them.
Sho told mo in a tone of the utmost
resignation that eventually she expected
their shoes would be tho death of all
three of them. Well, what do you sup
pose 1 did? I took that woman aside
and I said to her: 'Now look here, I'll
make a bargain with you. I want to
make a little extra money just now, for
I am dreadf nlly hard up. If you and
your two 'sisters will each pay me
twenty cents a week I'll come and but-ton-your
shoes for you every morning.'
"The poor old things fairlj jumped at
the offer. They insisted on paying my
first week's salary sixty cents in ad
vance. It left me ten cents to the good
you see, because on Saturday there was
no school. After the first week they in
sisted on raising my salary to an even
quarter from each. Well, I buttoned
their shoes regularly for two months.
Then I had to resign my position, as I
was moving to a boarding house up
town.
"When I bade them goodby the poor
old things actually cried over me, and
presented me with tho loveliest little
.silver buttonhook you ever saw. I sent
them tickets for the private view the
other night. They all came, fatter than
ever, and went into ecstacies over my
pictnres. The eldest one told me with
tears in her eyes that ever since I left
them they had been obliged to abandon
button shoes. 'Now, my dear,' she said
with a huge sigh of regret, 'we can wear

which when suddenly drawn from a
black sheath is very startling. Spades
are not the only suit in the pack that is

He was advised when very much run

he was immediately relieved of his Cough

THE MIDNIGHT PLOT.
Breaking Up a Witness.
In no way can barristers better display
their acuteness than by seeing at a glance
the character of tho witnesses they are
about to examine and by treating them
accordingly. Erskine was famous at
this. In a case m winch he was enc
gaged a commercial traveler came into
the witness box dressed in tho height or
fashion and wearing a starched whit8
necktio folded in the Brummel fold. In
an instant Erskine knew his man, though
he had never seen him before, and said
to him, with an air of careless- amuse
ment, "You were born and bred in Man
chester, I perceive." Greatly aslon
jshedhat thia opening remark, the'man
admitted that he was. "Exactly," ob
served tho grejit cross examiner, in a
conversational tone; "J knew it from
the absurd tie of your neckcloth'
The roars of laughteroming from
every person in, tho court, with fb

which followed this rejoinder com
pletely effected Erskine's purpose, which ;
was to put the witness In a state oi agi

The Democratic Assnnlt on Onr Indus
trial Interests.
The tariff plank in tho Chicago plat
form is a direct assault on all the indus
trial interests of the republic. It means,
if Mr. Cleveland is elected, free trade
aa soon ae he and hia followers are
strong enough to get at it.
It was fitting that this meditated as
sassination of the great policy which
has mado the United States .-tho most
prosperous nation in the world 'should
have been planned in the darkness', of
night, not in the clear sunlight of open
day. The plot will faiL The conspira
tors will be foiled.
Governor McKinley, quoting the great
Cardinal Manning tho other evening,
said, "Free trade creates two things
ttio world of wealth and tho world of
want." Tho intelligent voters of the
country will, irrespective o'f party; cast
their ballots next November against the
"creation of a world of want" in these
United States. "You can alwaj-s," said
Mr. McKinley, "trnst the people of the
United States to voto for themselves.
and remember that the campaign this
ryear, waged under the banner of Presi
ent Harrison, is a campaign in the
mFecT States, for the 4United States,
gainst all mankind." Mr. Cleveland
will 'wage, aa he waged four years ago,
a campaign in the interest of the British
'manufacturer.
Tho London rcws, referring to the
Minneapolis convention, said: "The can
didate selected will stand as tho ex
ponent of protection, which blocks the
American market against British manu
facturers. A Republicaji victory in the
coming election would retard for a long
time the progress -t)f the sound com
mercial doctrines that underlie the com
mercial greatness of Great Britain and
alone maintain British ascendency."
Mr. Cleveland js Jhe ideal British candi

British ascendency will be the result. A
vote for him will be a vote for England.

work That Seems Hard for Feminine
Hands, but Which Is Liked, by the
Girls, Who Are Very Skillful Tbey Arc
Neat and Intelligent Their Pay.
There are probably a thousand women
in Pittsburg who work in iron mills
making bolts, nuts, hinges and barbed
wire. It seems almost incredible that
girls should be employed in an occupa
tion which is associated only with brawn
and muscle, but such is the case. At
the first sight of the bolt works one can
not believe that anything bright or in
teresting could live inside. At the call
of the 0:30 a. m. whistle girls are seen
coming from all directions toward the
factory. They are generally dressed
tidy and well, and with their lunch bas
kets on their arms are not unlike any
working girl one may see.
The first thing they do after entering
the building is to change their street
dress for one to work in, tie up theii
hair, roll up their sleeves, and, putting
on a coffeesack apron, are ready to be
gin the day's labor. At 7 o'clock tht
last whistle blows, the wheels groan and
screech as if they were weary to resume
another day's work, but in a little while
they begin to move with moro rapidity
and the noise amounts to something ter
rific. A sulphur smoke arises, and as it
embraces everything in a dim color, it
needs but tho dull red burning of the
oil, tho horrible noises and the occa
sional sound of a human voice halloing
a command to stamp the scene on one's
memory as a study from sheol.
The bolts and nuts, as they are called,
aro fashioned by the brawny men on the
first floor. In a crude state they are
sent to other departments, when the fin
ishing touches are applied by feminine
fingers, ofttimes very delicate ones.
The bolts are dumped into different
bins, according to size and length, and
each girl has one special kind to work
on. Tho first work on the bolt is to
"point" it that is to mako a round
end so that it will enter tho machine
which cuts the tliread on it. The point
ing machine has an immovable socket
at one side and steam revolving knives
facing it.
The operator, who is known as a
"pointer," places the head of the bolt
in the socket, presses her foot on a
pedal, and the sharp steel knives are
forced, against the iron. Little bits of
the iron fly, and in an instant she re
jnoves her foot and the pointed bolt
falls down a slide into an iron deposit
box on thejloor.
While th"c one haud and foot has been
accomplishing this, the other foot sup
ports the girl, goose style, and the other
hand has got a bolt ready to be placed
into the sockot the moment it is empty.
Thus for days, weeks and years the
'pointer" handles one bolt after an
other for a living, being paid by the
thousand. Expert workers have pointed
10,000 bolts In a day.
When the bolts are pointed they are
taken to tho cutting quarters. These
machines ate large, with, deep sinks
filled with a thick black oil. The bolts
are placed in slides and pushed by the
worker up into sharp steel dies. In an
instant the thread is cut on them. The
work is rather dangerous, and care
must be exercised to keep the operator's
fingers from going into the open dies and
having their ends cut off instead of the
iron. Tho oil in which the girl is com
pelled to work in order to keep the bolts
from getting hot and thereby breaking
has a very offensive odor and gradually
smears the worker from the root of her
frizzly bangs down to her runover heels.
Girls of any age, from sixteen to fifty,
work in this department. Their pay by

to one dollar a day.
Little girls from six years up to twelve
put the nuts on the bolts and pack them.
The "nutting on" is also accomplished
by machine power. The worker puts a
nut on a plate; then, after catching the
head of a bolt in tho jaws above, she
presses her foot on tho pedal, when,

three-quarters of an hour. They lay
aside their aprons, wash their hand's and
devour their weelnnches with energy
worthy of a better cause. Formerly the
girls-would hurry their dinners and de
vote the rest of theirtime to dancing.
The orchestra was not the largest, nor
did it rival the Mexican band in melody,
but it answered the purpose of furnish
ing time for the shabby shoed girls. It
consisted of one girl and a mouth organ.
The men were not permitted to come
into the girl'n side of the shop, but they
would stand at a respectful distance, as
though longing to join the merry dan
cers. It seems rather strange, but the
girls never mingle with the men in the
same factory. They are good and hon
est, and generally intelligent.
Tho girls were verv happy, and every
thing moved as smoothly as steel on ice,
until a forewoman was introduced to
take the placo of a foreman. Imme
diately she put a stop to all singing
during tho day aud all dancing at noon.
There was a decided stir among the
girls at these new rules, but thev were
forced to submit. Since then they spend
the noon hour reading and doing fancy
work. Most of the girls are experts
with the needle and those who read
would surprise a scholar with their quo

A Mother's Mistake.
Mothers frequently make a mistake in
neglecting the Cough of a child. A Fort

daughter G years old had a severe Cough
but as it was nothing unusual I thought
nothing of it, and allowed it to run on for
4 or wpeks, when it became so obstinate
she began losing flesh. I called in a
physician who treated her three weeks
without benefit. A neiglibor insisted upr
on my trying Ballard's Ilarebound Syrup ;
It relieved her from the first dose and she
began gaining flesh rapidly, wbeq we had
used two bottles her Cough had entirely
disappeared. I would not be without iu

don Graphic
The nomination of Mr. Cleveland
ends one of the bitterest political fights
ever waged in the United States. The
breach between the warring factions
will probably extend to the presidential
contest and will tell seriously against
Mr. Cleveland's prospects. Perhaps the
most remarkable event of the conven
tion was the complete overthrow of the
protection element and the reinstate
ment of the Mills feeling. Briefly de
scribed, the outcome of the convention
is a repetition of the struggle of 1888,
and while the Democratic cleavage is aa
wide as it is now the outlook certainly
favors the election of Mr. Harrison.

The editors of the Berlin Post, Vos-

Cleveland that nothing remained to be

A Bed .Headed Girl Talks.
Many people in Chicago are familiar
with the sight of a red headed girl who
sometimes rides a spirited white horse
through the principal Btreets of the city,
and sometimes drives a team of whites
attached to a chariot. Tho writer hailed
her and brought her to and asked her
of her mission. She asked if public
opinion was to the effect- that 6he was
making a fool of herself. The answer
to her query has no connection with the
story:
"I am making an honest living," she
said. "I am not more conspicuous in
my manner of doing that than are some
others of my own sex in what they do.
I know, and so do you, that if I put on a
subdued garb and went from house to
house with the articles I have to sell I
would not make enough to earn a
cracker. I must do something that has
in it an attempt at originality in order
to make people talk. When one suc
ceeds in doing that an entering wedge
has beeu found. It is a hard world to
please. If I pursued somo beaten path
and failed the world would turn me
away when I became an object of char
ity. I would be a burden to society.
As it is I mako my own living. I sup
pose I am severely criticised for the
show I make of myself. In addition to
tho conspicuous part I play, that which
I have to offer is meritorious nnd con
tribute 'to health. Am I as big a fool
as somo think me:"'
And with that sho clucked to her gray
steed, which cantered away, carrying on
its back philosophy as well as red hair.

A WEAK TICKET.
The-Democratic Candidates Uave a Re
ord of Defeat.
Tho Democratic party has chosen its
ticket, and could not possibly have
pleased Republicans better than by the
nominations it has made. Its candidates
smell of defeat Mr. Clevelaud was
beaten at the last presidential election.
Mr. Stevenson, after two terms in con
gress, was defeated by tho people in
180, and though he ran as Greenback
and Democratic candidate, pandering to
the worst financial heresies, was set
asido by the voters of his district in
at least two successive campaigns as
useless lumber. It is a ticket of two
back numbers. The ticket might. prop
erly bo translated, "Yesterday and Day
Before Yesterday."
Tho nomination of Mr. Cleveland has
been hopefully anticipated by all his po
litical opponents. Democrats know that
Mr. Cleveland is weaker than ho was
four years ago. He lacks now the enor
mous power so effectively exerted in his
behalf by Secretaries Whitney, Vilas,
Fairchild and other cabinet officers, and
by the host of federal officials who had
been carefully selected during a four
years' term for their ability to control
votes. New York Tribune.
