Tha railroad com pany official said that such a proposition waa inadmissable at the present time, and the situation. of the new rnwn and the terms on which they were engaged were fully explained. General Manager Stone urged Sargent t hare the strike called off, promising to consider applications from the eld men and give as many of them as he could situations. Grand Master Sargent, after the confer ence concluded, left for hie home at Terre Haute, leaving the local 6'ituation in the bands ef Chairman Hoge, of the Burling ton grievance committee. The latttr aid tonight tne conference left the situa tion practically unchanged. They could not consent to having their . men taken back in batches. lie denied that there was any thing in the rumor prevalent to night to the effect that the strike had been called off. The Texas Border Unprotected. El Paso, Tex., April C Twenty-three employs of the El Paso Custura House, mostly mounted inspectors guarding the Rio Grande border and international boundary line between El Paso and Yuma, Ariz., have been discharged on account of the failure of Congress to pass the necessary appropriation bills. This leaves nearly a thousand miles of frontier line practu;ally unprotected gainst smugglers, and the Mexican contrabandits who infest the line, not only along the northern border of Chi bauhau but also along the Sonora line, are said to be perfectly aware of the fart that no appropriation will be available before the Irst of July, and that until then they will have full swing. South west of Nogalea, particularly, there are n few hot-beds of smuggling;, which are reported as full of activity at present. They want to make hay while the sun shines. The custom fHcials of tha dis trict are aware of these facts, but in the present crippled condition of the force are unable to to do anything. TROUBLE IN IRELAND. A Bloody Fracas at ICHrush, In Which Many Are Injured. Kilkttsu, April 9. Saturday night soma policemen who were trying to pre vent the erection of a platform for a meeting announced to be held today were pelted with stones by a mob and were compelled to charge. Moy civil ians were badly injured. About 6.000 persons belonging to various league branches of KilruUi assembled at 2:30 p. in. to-day. The police, led by Magis trates Welch and Irwin, charged the crowd, injuring maay. A number of tri umphal arches were torn down. Father Glynn, of Kilmihiil, was attacked by two policemen with rifles, A farmer fell id one policeman with a stick. A riot being imminent, the Berkshire regiment, with fixed bayonets, charged the crowd, and ten persons were badly wounded. Two policemen were seriously injured Order was somewhat restored in the crowd, who were appealed to by the priest and Messrs. Redmond and O'Reil ly, members of parliament. Redmond then attempted to organize the meeting, but was prevented by Magistrate Irwin. Redmond protested that the govern ment's action was illegal, and together with the priests adyisd the multitude to disperse. Mexican Tariffs. Eagle Paiss, Tex., A ril 8. The ap peal of the Piedras Xegras merchant! to the legislature at Saltille against the 6 per cent municipal tariff on imports has been without avail, and the 6 per cent is collected on all goods imported into Piedras Negras. Goods imported and carried through Piedras Xegras into the interior pay only 1 per cent municipal tariff in addition to the regular duties, but if these goods intended for the in terior are stopped in Piedras Negras and subsequently forwarded on out of the zona libre, they have to pay first the 6 per cent duty and afterward the 1 J per cent, besides the regular import duty.

Sickness has decreased the attendance somewhat. Miss Livingston wielded the birch, to good effect, in room No. 5 this week. Last Monday there of our teachers were unable to attend to their duties in the school room. Substitutes were at a pre mium. The following notice placed on the bulletin board at thgIigh School Thurs day morning explains itself: "Teachers are reriuaBted to announce in their respect ive rooms that Arbor day will be observ ed by the schools in a manner to be here after decided upon. W. W. Drvmmond, Sup't." The children are very much enthused oyer the prospect of tree planting Arbor day. If they do plant a true or sow some grass, that tree or that grass will be pro tected from harm by an ever watchful guard of interested children. In order to beautify pur school grounds and give them a metropolitan air we must get the children to take an interest in preserving them, and Arbor day will not only do this but it is the seed from which may be propagated that love for the beautiful which will cause each of the varied forms in nature to rise above the commonplace and become a thing of life, breathing forth an inspiration of the infinite love and fostering care of a divine creator. Rock Bluffs. Our annual school meeting passed off very quietly and was a pleasant affair in comparison to the li tie war that v had last year. But that is very easily ac counted for as the contentions and dis turbing enemy of the district had moved away. A tax of seven mills was voted for a district fund and an affirmative vote was given for a uniformity of textbooks. Mr. D. V. Curtis was el -cted a delegate to the school text-book convention. Right here w? wish "to say that we are glad to see the county superintendent start the ball a rolling to establish a uni formity of text books, for figuratively peaking we have stood for a number of years on one foot with the other raised r-ady to help kick some of the abomina ble text bpoks out of he schools, and we sincerely hope that the timg is close at hand that wo can let that foot ge. The ni'dtiphcity of geographaries in some districts and the difference obtain ing in adjoining districts is a straight up and down nuisance to scholars, teachers and parents. And thsn the use of old books that are thirty years behind the times, like McGuffey's readers and spel lers, ought to be done away with. We hope some good will come of this move to establish a uniformity of text books. Then let the legislature devise some practical method of enforcing the com pulsory educational law that will net make neighbors enemies and keep them iu a quarrel. Nebraska will then have taken a long stride in the right direction towards improving her educational fa cilities. Will Chandler and mother came iu last week from Iycarney to visit, end to buy and ship forest free sprout, so that the sprout business is agxiu in full blast. The old Odd pcliows ball that was taken down last fail by Mr. Shera and removed to Union and rebuilt again, is nearly completed, and remodeled into a drug store, for which Mr. Shera informs us he is gettin.; foity dollars per month for rent. " Our school exhibition proyed quite a success as an amusing entertainment, A small admission fee was charged, the proceeds of whiph arc to be used in pur chasing a globe for the use of the school. The lat few warm days has been the cause of one grand rqsli at farming and garden making, Mr. Ben Rennard met with quite a serious injury last week by being kicked in the face by a horse so bad that he had to go to the doctor to have the wound sewed up. that was made on his chin.

The lasi excursion train from Denver, consisting of a sleepei- and baggage car, the sleeper filled with Galvrston people, arrived here tonight. At Alver Station, eighty miles from here, the train attempted to run past a siding at rapid speed. A flat car on the siding tre Tuiq vhe baggage car, killing Commercial Traveler A Floyd and fatally injuring Fireman Herring.

He has taken ontagivuu-r nuinlier of pat:it9 in photography than any body else iu this country. 8 peaking rtcently of the practical applications of photography la late years, he eaid to a rejiorter: "Do you know that watch dinln are now tnado by photography at a mere fraction of their former cost? They all used to be painted by hand. Now a hundred are made in tho time formerly required to produce one, and each of tho hundred is better than the 0110 would have been. The dial is of copper cov ered with enamel. Upon that they lay a sen sitized coating of albumen and bichromate of jjotash. A largo drawing, ay twelve inches in diameter, of the design, figures, mid dots that it ia desired to put uion the dial in photographed down to tho required size, which makes it so very fine that whatever inaccuracies may have been in the drawing are almost licyond discovery by tho micro scope. The negative thus made is exposed to tho light in contact with the point i-" f-.n tod watch dial for fio;u turuj to u'u na-iiivcu, Electric light is just as good as sun light. Vherp tbts light has acted tho gelatine is made insoluble. The dial is now inked over with common lithographic transfer ink. Next, with a clean sponge moistened with a little gum water, the ink and gelatine are wiped off tho dial from. al parts except where the light has acted, and to those it ad heres, leaving the design in clear black upon the enameled plate. Bat that design would easily blur and rub off by wear. Another process is necessary to make it permanent. A metallic enamel powder of any color do sired black, blue, red, green, vr" purple ja dusted upon tho dial,' Is sticks to the inked portions, but now hero elso. Then tho dial is put in the muffle and fired. The enamel powder melts into the white enamel base, and the work 13 complete. Tho AValtham Watch company paid $2,000 for that process. By it they can turn out, for ten cents each, dials that in tho old way of making tvould have cost 11 apieco, "Speaking of that necessity recalls to me tho cifort now making for the production, for purpose of magazine and book illustration, printed with type, of phqtographa from nature or paintings', by means of w hat are now called tint glasses. About that I am going to tell you a page o history that baa not before been published; and that will make no small stir Rmuug a number of persons who are claiming to be the inventors of processes in that direction at the present time. The real inventor of tint glasses or, as ho called them, ruled spectrums was Baron von Egloff steiu, who patented his process; in the United States and England as long ago as 1So5. He was a brilliant, highly educated man, who did a great deal of flue engineering work for our government, and who went away to Europe several ye.irj nga Tha was a rumor that h Ita died, but only re cently i heard that he had retired to a monastery somewhere and was still living. "Vt"ell, a big company, mainly of United States officials, was formed for tho develop meut of Baron voii Egloffstcin'S diacovery ami its utilization vr tho'printin'g of greenbacks and other paper money in such wise as to def y counterfeiting. Secretary Chase was in that company, as were also Baron Perault, Copt Eads, Governor Spraguo, of Hhxl Ti!a:- I, Mr. Knapp, the Pit'shunf giu "fvunlWr 1 Mr. Sehoonmak'or, the "A. T.

In 6r. year tin y spent t,ver fciijojacu in working the process on steel, and they use J to say that they had 5 .0, 000,000 ready to put in it as soon as it wr.s a proved success. Every Saturday they ivcl to have a meeting at the Fifth Aveniio hotel, squaro up all tho bills, hr.Vo a big dinner, and drink ohi;riiv.tgn& by tjip biw-ketfui. "Bnt 'tneir "expectations ver-o not realized. Baron von Ei;lol?stoin u?ed a fiue plate glass, covered with a very opaiue etching ground, which was cross hatched by the finest possi ble line3, 5O0 to the inch, which was inter posed between the lisrht thi object, or the glass ngasi or poeftfve',' to be photographed. You can see that tho effect would be that in stead of producing a picture in smooth half tones, like an ordinary photograph, one would be made that was. all WuVsu up into fine cross listened lines and uoti "From this re sulting hegativo transfers could bo made to 6tone, steel, or copper, oc coitld be printed directly by contact put a metal plate for etching. Of course, for intaglio work, as f cr printing from steel a positive picture would bo used and a negative for type press print ing. The principle of tha thittj weo all right, lentitiful; bi iu practice It was found that the closeness together of the fino lines pre vented getting sufficient depth. If tho plates were bitten down deep enough for printing, there was no body to bear yper; ited and heavy preesuie and a few impressions would break them down. The few impressions obtained were superb, but the plates would not last. Moro practical Jesuits are now attained by a coarser ruling of about 10Q linns to the ln"eh: for the production of telief plates for typo press "printing. Tho old patents have now run out, and the process belongs to acybr-dy who choses to employ it, "One of the late and possibly rather sur prising discoveries in photography, which also is a patent of mine, is 1 he enlargement of photographs to any required size without the aid of a solar camera, nierely by tha lighs of an ordinary pij lam, or-even "by a flash pf gun cottoiu ' In the old way a costly solar camera was necessary, a machine costing f2.'j0 or f300; much time and clear sunlight, and a very expensive prepared paper were also all requisites to tho process.

A cigar which has been bruised against anoiher iu tho act of light ing it loses a considerable poi-liou of tin doiii-ai-y of its ilavor, and should that one. against which it is thus rubbed lo of a:i inferior flavor and aroma, tin-so ijuaHties in i'sclf are, to a delicate ta.te, coiiijileti'lj' di'stroyed.

How ever, a breach of this point is never made, and a well bred Cuban would die sooner than thow auy irritation. In most Euroiiean count ries, with tho ex ception, perhaps, of cigarette siiioking.Spain, the street otirjuetu of smoking is much lest severe. Tho majority of smokers in Eng land, for instance, carry matches in their pockets, and should a passing smoker, w ith unlit piiK or cigar mpiest a light, it is a match thilt i.s handed to him. Small boys throng tins slrevt? of all big English tov.-n selling boxes containing 'S0 v.at vest; matches for two cents; there is eonseque tly' very litlle excuse for a smoker to be witnout a light.
