REDELS III HOUSE GET BUSY AGAIN

Meeting Called to Decide On the Pending Tariff Measure. SOME WANT TO KILL IT PURPOSE OF THE MEETING, WHICH WILL BE HELD THIS AFTERNOON, IS TO STIFFEN 8PINES OF THE REBELS. Washington, D. C, June 14. There baa been a revival of the Insurgent movement among the Republicans of the house of representatives and a conference has been: called for this afternoon to consider what attitude they hall assume towards the pending tariff bill. Leaders in the movement for a conference are Representatives Murdock, of Kansas, and Nomls of Nebraska. Some of the dissatisfied element want to vote against -the bill on its final passage.'';:.;... At this time tbe principal concern of the house Insurgents appears to be to make such a showing of disapproval as will stiffen the spines of the senators who have been opposing Senator Aldrlch's program. Likely to Recommend Oil Duty. The senate committee on finance in all probability will recommend that a duty be Imposed upon crude and refined petroleum and the products of petroleumin spite of the action of the house in putting these articles on the free list. . ,: ' . This subject was discussed at a meeting of the Republican members of the committee Sunday. The oil question will not be disposed of finally, but the indications are that crude oil will be made dutiable at a quarter of a cent a gallon, and that on refined petroleum a rate of 25 per cent, ad valorem, will be fixed. It is probable that the latter rate will be made to apply to product ,of petroleum. Many members of the senate favored the countervailing duty on petroleum, but-the representatives of oil producing states did not favor it. The demands for protection upon oil comes principally from the independent oil men. Favor Reduction on 8oft Coal. The coal question was under consideration but was not disposed of. The sentiment of the committee is In favor of reducing the rate on bituminous coal from 67 cents to 50 cents a ton. According to views expressed in the committee, representatives of the largest fields agree that the 50 cent rate will afford ample protection to Ameri- ' can coal. ' The protection asked by American lithographers against the importation of cheap view cards from Germany will be recommended. On photographic poet cards, lithographed in one color, a rate of 15 cents a pound, and 25 per cent, ad valorem will be recommended. This is a' large Increase over the existing rate. Additional protection will be recommended on cigar labels, decalcomanlas, and other articles connected with the industry. italiaimTescape Dismissed From One Charge, Flees When the Second One Was Made. ARRESTED IN RICHMOND flaatano Lemarco. an Italian who was arrested in this city June 8 on a warrant from Cincinnati and subseouentlv returned to the police of that city, was tried in the Cincinnati ' police court on a charge of cutting yiMike Delappo. another Cincinnati Ital ian with intent to kill, proved he was not the man who did the cutting. However, the defendant was then charged by the prosecuting witness with shooting with intent to kill, and before he could be apprehended he fled from the police station. A Cincinnati account says of the affair: Gaetano Lemarco, who was brought back from - Richmond, Ind., by Sergeant Eichelberger on a warrant charging him with cutting to kill Mike Delappo. was - dismissed in Police Court. At the time of the trouble Delappo was shot by one man and stabbed by another. Lenarco proved that he did not do the cutting. Delappo had recognized Lemarco as one of the two men. and was certain that if he did not cut him he was the man who shot at him. Before he got through swearing to an affidavit charging Lemarco with shooting to kill, however. Lemarco had run : through the corridor of the City Hall and down central avenue, me po- ' lice will again be put to the trouble of hunting him up and arresting him on the new warrant.

Mrs. Betsy Ross Was The Woman Who Made First American Flag

The first flag of the United States of America was made by Mrs. Betsy Ross, a charming young Philadelphia woman, noted for her expert needlework. The flag was made by her under the personal direction of Gen. George Washington. Washington well knew the expert character of Mrs. Rose's needlework, as she had embroidered his shirt ruf fles. Consequently when he, Robert Morris and Col. George Ross, a member of congress, cast about for some one to make the first flag, in the sum mer of 1770, shortly before the declar ation of Independence, Washington led them to the home of Mrs. Rose on Arch street. When asked if she could make a flag from the design which Gen. Washington presented to her a rough pencil sketch, she said: "I don't know, but I'll try." She tried, and her work was so suc cessful that the continental congress. when it finally acted1 about a year lates, June 14, 1777, saw the flag she had made and adopted a resolution by which it became the national emblem. Made Stars Five-pointed. It was through Mrs. Rose that the stars of the banner were made with five points in the place of six, as the Washington design had suggested to her. Washington, because his family emblems bore five-pointed stars, had suggested six-pointed ones that he might not seem to desire to have his family star adopted for the flag. Mrs. Ross insisted that the five-pointed star was prettier, Washington suggested SPEKEHHIER WAS GOOD GUARDSMAN Not One Federal Prisoner Made an Escape. Postmaster J. A. Spekenhier return ed home Saturday night from Ft. Leavenworth, Kansas, where he ac companied federal prisoners as a deputy United States marshall. Mr. Spek enhier was gone three days. This is his first experience as a guardsman, but judging from reports he had either the best of success or good luck, as none of the prisoners whom he was detailed to watch escaped from the party." Mr. Spekenhier has a genial smile which invites friendship and no doubt the prisoners preferred his company to being fugitives. However there is another and equally good argument why none escaped. He was heavily armed ; with a riot gun, rifle, six-shooter and bowle knife. Heat Conductors. ' Some substances conduct beat more freely than others, silver among the metals being tbe best conductor, and as a nnlt of measurement is taken at 1,000. ; Compared with silver as a conductor, gold Is 981, copper 845, zinc 641, tin 422, steel 397 and wrought Iron 436. Glass, wood, gases, liquids and resinous substances are bad conductors. Water Is such a poor conductor that IT heat is applied to the top It will boll at tbe top, while the bottom will remain cold.

In an effort to boom the interests of the town tt is now proposed to organise a Young Men's Booster Club. . The plan is similar to that followed In this city when the. Young Men's Business Crab wu brought into life. The motives are the same. Rushville has been led to recognise the value) of the local

that the ; six-pointed star would be easier to make, but she demonstrated that her favorite was as easy to cut by folding a piece of paper and cutting out a five-pointed star with, a single clip of her scissors. Authorities do not agree as to whether the flag was used' between then and the time when congress adopted it, but most of them think It wat not. At any rate, it was not used as the official emblem of the United States. :' : Mrs. Ross succeeded so well in the making of flags that she was engaged in this work for a number of years, and was succeeded by her daughters, who carried on the work until fifty years ago. One of these daughters, Mrs. Clarissa Wilson, being a Quaker, finally stopped making government flags because of her .religious opposition to war, but continued to make flags for commercial use until 1857. The first flag was made of English bunting exactly the same as those of today, excepting that our bunting is of home manufacture. There seems to be no question but that these colors, the stars and stripes, were unofficially adopted immediately after the completion of the first flag the latter part of May, 1776, and that they went Into general use at once, so far as practicable, under the conditions then existing. Gen. Washington possessed the first flag created at this time, but not until Saturday, June 14, 1777, did congress finally, officially, adopt the flag.

RICHMOND PEOPLE jllCIIICIII!IATI Quaker City Well Represented There on Sunday. Richmond was well represented at Cincinnati yesterday. The ball game between New York and the Reds was the center of attraction. Local Red fans went crazy with delight , when their favorites put one over the chesty Giants. The Cincinnati team now is playing better ball than any aggregation that has represented the city in recent years. BIG GREY HORSE WANTED BY CHIEF Animal Is Wanted for a Chemical Wagon. A local liveryman has a large gray horse that Chief Miller would like to have for the fire department. He would be greatly pleased to see the animal one of the chemical wagon team. The team now in use has not shown the mettle expected of it. The horse wanted has been given a trial and found suited to the work. He is full of life and ginger and at the same time strong. To Improve Flight. During a big Presbyterian convention in 1805 a rhetorical Scotchman from Ohio got the floor. . His speech was replete with mingled humor and sarcasm. In tbe course of it, says tbe Rev. Galusha Anderson in a book entitled "A Border City During the Civil War," he made this remark about his own eloquence: "The speech of the brother from this city brought to my mind an experience of my school days. I wrote an oration and handed it to my teacher. "When he had examined it he called me to him and said: "Taylor, if you would only pluck a few feathers from the wings of your imagination and stick them into the tail of your judgment you would write a good deal better.' The Beet Part of the Speech. Young James bad never heard his papa speak , in public, and it was thought time to take him to bear his father deliver a lecture. During the evening a stray dog which ventured upon the platform was disposed of as gracefully as possible.

HIS BLUFF EXPIRES Robert, Tolley After Dodging For Some Time, Must fio to Prison. RELATIVES DENIED HIM

Robert R. Tolley, the shrewd young man who avoided punishment for the crime of grand larceny in this city fell hard after his stumble at Connersville. He was arrested at Rushville after passing a worthless check at Connersville. Saturday he was sentenced to Jeffersonville after he had plead guilty to the charge of uttering a spurious check. Friends and relatives who have saved him in several similar instances before refused to intervene again and he will be taken to prison this week. ' In this city Tolley stole about $30 from Manager Happy of the Singer Sewing Machine company. He made his getaway to Indianapolis and was arrested ,and returned to Richmond. The young man aroused sympathy and upon the plea of poor health " the authorities permitted him to go on his own recognizance. He claimed he was afflicted mentally. v- KNEW HIS BUSINESS. The Little Boy Was Thoroughly Posted on the Elevator. "Little boy," exclaimed the portly lady, "you ought to be at school Instead of trying to work a lift." "I'm not trying to work it." was the answer. "I am working It, and If you wish to ride I shall be happy to accommodate you. So far as any obligation to be at school is concerned, allow me to remind you that this is a legal holiday, and I am exempt from attendance at an institution where. I am pleased to say, I am at tbe bead of my class." "You hare no business trying to work that lift, anyhow." "For wtat reason?" "Because you are too young to know anything about it." "Madam, allow me to reassure you. This lift is worked by hydraulic pressure, the principle relied on being that water exerts pressure in proportion to the height of a column rather than In proportion to the diameter. In making use of this characteristic water Is admitted into a cylinder, the pressure being regulated by the use of valves and a stable equilibrium being made possible by an ingenious system of counterpoises. I could go further Into the minutiae of this particular machine, which of course has its variations from other models," he added as she gasped in astonishment, - "but I doubt if you could follow the technical terms -whose use an accurate description would necessitate, but I wish to assure you that if, after what I have said, you think you know more about this lift than I do you are at perfect liberty to step in and take its management out of my hands." Pearson's. STOPPED THE NOISE. A Chemist's Suggestion to a Maker of Prussian Blue. The great German chemist, Lleblg, related that when he was a young man a manufacturer of Prussian blue who was showing him through the works drew his attention to the deafening noise made by certain comminuting and mixing machines. These machines consisted of large iron mortars in which iron pestles were actuated by machinery. The pestles pounded the materials to a fine condition and mixed them. On Lieblg's suggesting that some means ongbt to be devised to prevent'the terrible din made by the machines the, manufacturer told him that it was a singular fact that the more noise the pestles made the better wns tbe blue produced. It happens that in making prusslan blue iron is a necessary eonstituent of the mixture, a fact that did not seem to be thoroughly appreciated by the manufacturer. He was therefore much surprised when Lleblg told blm that the iron which was necessary to produce the color was rubbed off. his machinery, tbe most extravagant way to supply it. He understood for the first time, moreover, why it was that the greater tbe noise from the friction of the pestles in tbe mortars tbe better the blue produced. He thus learned in an expensive way that it was better manufacturing to put iron Into the mixture than to grind it off high priced machinery. Frederick J. Maywald in American Industries.

"Maybe you'll be that purrsen yerself T the storekeeper suggested, without replying to the archbishop's question. "Quite right, said Dr. Talt; "I am."

A MUTUAL SURPRISE.

The Meeting Between an Ambitious Hunter and His First-Grizzly. In "Sketches of Life In the Golden State" Colonel Albert 8. Evans tells an amusing anecdote of an ambitions hunter who met his first grizzly bear in procession. Tbe Incident occurred in tbe woods near tbe.slte of the present town of Monterey. The hunter sat down to rest in the shade of a tree and unwittingly went to sleep. When he woke it was near sunset and he sat up, rubbing his eyes and contemplating a return to his hotel, several . miles distant. Just then a rustllug and crackling noise from a clump of chaparral about 100 yards away attracted his attention. Out wslked a grizzly bear, a monarch of his kind. He yawned, licked his jaws and then advanced toward the tree where our hunter sat. but evidently was unconscious of his presence. His grizzly majesty had proceeded about twenty paces when a female bear followed him. and an instant later a third grizzly followed her at a slow, shambling pace. The hunter sat spellbound with terror as tbe procession came toward him nntll the forward grizzly was within thirty yards. Then, scarcely realizing what he did, he sprang to his feet and uttered a frenzied yell yell upon yell! The effect was magical. The fore most bear sprang Into the. air. turned sharply about, knocked the female down, rolled over her, gathered himself up a ad bolted "like forty cart loads of rock going down a chute" straight for the chaparral again, tbe other two bears close at bis heels and nerer turning to see what had frightened them. .' , The hnnter, seeing the enemy retreating, sprang to his feet and fled at top speed for tbe hotel, leaving hat and gun behind. The truth of his wild and startling tale was proved the next day by the numerous bear tracks of different sizes found In the marshy ground near by. But tbe three bears had gone off beyond pursuit. THE NEW ORE. One of Andrew Carnegie's Early Iran Experiences. Andrew Carnegie once stated that a short time after the starting of bis first plant in Pittsburg be bad an odd experience with iron ore. "I was offered some ore that sampled about the usual grade, so' far as I was able to Judge from appearances, at a reduced price. he said . I bought several thousand tons a big order for those days. Tbe second, day after we commenced to run it the foreman cams to the office and told me the new ore was of no account, that It did not flow and that the furnaces were so choked they would bare to be dnmped aniens some remedy was found. Those fires were built to last two years, and to dump tbem at this time weald mean so heavy a loss ss to, practically pat me out of business. A yoang chemist had called on me a few weeks before, and, while I had not paid moch attention to htm. I had kept his card. It occurred to roe that be might possibly be of some help, though I confess I did not then see whst chemistry had to doJrtth tbe iron basins. Bat I sentVor blm. and be came at once. First he examined the new ore and then the old that we bad been running without difficulty, and finally he looked at the furnaces. To avoid delay be made a little test of the two ores right there. I had eold blm whea be arrived that I felt sore tbe new ore was wortlesj' and admitted ay mistake In buying it, . Of ourse jdld.thja aa S AsrtoaaaTJe llt3-llS9
