THE WEEKLY GRIND. BY THE PLAIN MAN. A New Industry For Algiers. The announcement that the Johnson Iron Works has purchased the former site of the Southern Marine Works on this side of the river, and will locate its main plant here. was received with much satisfaction by the people of Algiers. The Johnson Company exlects to locate in the new shops in about eight weeks. This deal p,roves that the Johnson Iron Works realize the exceptional ad vantages offered by our district. and is only another instance of what co-opera tion and concerted effort will accomplish. The opening of this large plant in Algiers will mean much for the inhabitants, as employment tO hundreds of I people will be afforded. both to present residents and also those from the city side, who will naturally remove to Algiers in order to be nearer their work. This influx of new labor will metan more tenants for the houses, more business for the merchants. It will be the cause of a general boom in the town. Algiers can accommodate many more manufacturing enterprises, and also can offer every fac!lity for their successful operation. Its railroad transpor tation facilit!:s are exceptional, and it has just as good harbor front as the city Iroper. All it requires is the same kind of energy as was shown in the instant case. The Algiers Improvement Association, through some of its members, has pledged ius moral support to the new enterprise. The Association and the Ipo tole of Aldiers in general are to be congratulated on this sign of renewed activ Ity. Iloweve r, don't be satistled with just this-keep the ball rolling. Exit Maderol What Next? Things haplen with kaleidoscopli quickness in Mexico--and each new event discloes some nt w form of treachery, of deviltry. Last week Felix Diaz, released from prison, was received as the deliverer of his people. At that time General Huerta still stood loyally by his chief-President Madero. But Huerta could see the star of .Madero dimly fading away and that of Diaz rising. This must not be! So lHuerta springs his coup d'etat. Madero is arrested and im prisoned. Hluerta proclaims himself provisional president. Huerta and Felix Diaz clasp hands and join forces. Fine! Magnificent! But what to do with Madero? He Is in the way. Turn hintm loose-bah! Shoot him openly-holy i, horrors, no! Ah! we have it. We will remove him from the Nation Palace to the prison walls; we will give him the nice auto ride-he and Suarez. Right r- there by the prison will be a few trusted soldiers-so, to prevent the accident! The auto drives up, surrounded by guards. Presto! the trusted soldiers rush out. It is one surprise, one deliverance! Caramba! Bing! they have been re pulsed! Two are killed-Madero and Suarez! Ah! too bad. We will send to El Presidente del Estados I'nidos one grand message-one explanation-we have not the responsibility; we make grand investigaclon; we have much re gre:. So-they are dead. The official explanation has come and been accepted. c- Of course- who could prove otherwise? And nobody but a jingo press wants r. intervention. d, When Napoleon returned from Elba to France, he was hailed with accla mation, surrounded by the Marshalls of France and all of the magnificent m army that was left. His home-coming was a time of rejoicing-but he came to Id his Waterloo! Felix Diaz, released from prison, seemed for the moment to be a- the Man on Horseback! Now his star is fading. Huerta's is in the ascend ancy. In Mexico there is only room for one iron-handed man at the helm. Two cannot reign.-one must go! Madero is a memory. Two are left-Huerta and Diaz. One of these will follow Madero. Which shall it be? The Plain Man can see the shadows gathering around Felix Diaz! REV. MR. SLACK WRITE.S His PARISHIONERS. bi fi LaGrange, Ga., sl Ash Wednesday, 1913. To My Friends and Parishioners of NMt. , Olivet Church--Greeting: a Inasmuch as, owing to the accident tu which has crippled and laid me up for tt the time being, necessitating my ab- w sence from you and preventing at- tl tendance upon the duties of my office ea as your rector, I am unable to speak to p you face to face from the pulpit of our cl common home, or in your homes, I c1 want to write to each one of you an y individual letter, and since the theme a in each will be the same, I am sending n you this informal pastoral. It may be ti longer than I had expected, but, my b friends, please read it carefully and a prayerfully consider the matters b brought before you. s It is hard for us sometimes when a mishap or misfortune comes, to see l God's hand in it, but believe me, my i friends, I see God's hand in the acci- t dent that befell me. I was enabled to e see better than ever how true your r heart beat, how full of sympathy our t people of all creeds in Algiers and the 1 city are, and I take this opportunity of thanking one and all for the courte- i sies and kindnesses shown me and i mine, and I pray God that when He I has restored me to health, which I1 trust will be soon, I will be able to do greater work for Him in my service I with and for you. . One of your own number, Rev. Sid ney Lee Vail, of whom we are all proud, by reason of his choice of ca reer, has reminded you that we-you and I-are just entering upon our twelfth year as People-Parishioners and Rector, a period exceeded only by three clergymen at present in our State-Revs. Bakewell, Duncan and e- Hunter-and in our parish by the late 4b Dr. C. S. Hedges of sainted memory, who served at Mount Olivet's altar u- fourteen years qf acceptable service. t, There is no need of enumerating all K. that has been done. Let what has been done speak for itself, and the re a- met.brance of it spur us on to greater y. work. Let us rather this Lent ask ourselves wherein have we failed, and r, how can we do better-for is not Lent l. a time of exjmination, self-examina tion-"taking stock' time to use a n. common term? In doing this, pointing out matters o, that need attention, food for thought, rd I want you all to feel that before put g-. ting them before you, I have often ask. ed myself the same questions and won 1., dered if the occasions for the pro ,r, blems that confront us are the results . of my own shortcomings. Have I been faithful as a pastor? as your rector? e, have I encouraged, incited, aroused you as I should? have I splet on the wall while the enemy came near to hurt God's fair city-the church? Dear friends, it is not an easy matter to be responsible to a Master whom you ' know is all knowing, and to feel that you mast render account to Him for -those He has entrusted to your keep ing, and know that, perhaps, you have h not been gentle with the erring ones " or Arm as the needs might be. As lay " members a certain sense of this re spoasibility is yours-for you are all "Priests unto God," sealed in your cal baptism, annointed for service in con- TI firmation, how mach more is it my duty as an annointed priest of God to of a serve at His altar and "feed His tern sheep." nan in t God has prospered us much, very thi much. We have seen our Sunday school double in membership and at- sta tendance, but oh, how sadly we need coni teachers-and regular teachers-that tie will be punctual and absent only for the greatest cause. We have increas ed our support, have taken a more prominent place among our sister is churches, but how few there are that Wit contribute to the church support. Do you? and if so, do you give as much ni as you feel you ought, or only just so don much so that you can say, "I con tribute to Mt. Olivet church." Let's A be honest with ourselves, for above all things God demands of us that wE be honest-which is truthful, pure, sincere. While we have increased the num ber of communions made-which is a Not matter of deepest rejoicia--our at tendance at services has steadily fall en. Why is this? Our confirmed 3 membership has increased, but the at- bar tendance at services is wretched. Tpe of last Sunday in January I attended St. Mo Marks church, our little mission here, sur which counts 26 communicants, there box were forty persons including children 117 present. We with 285 communicants tinm would have counted that a large at- str tendance at morning prayer. They tav have a little rough frame building, no Stc beautiful brick structure like ours, no Sei surpliced choir. Now why is it, dear hei friends, our attendance at the services Vii has fallen so low? Will each one of hoi I you take this sentence to heart this al Lent bringing it to practice in your wa daily life: Do "I am but one, but I am one. hei I cannot do everything, but I can do he I something. What I can do, I ought to do. an And what I ought to do, by God's help AV I will do." ar: See then, dear friends, if the at. 19 I tendance at the services is not larger, Sp if the teachers are not more, and more pi - punctual and regular in their attention to their most solemn duties, and our Fr ohurdh finances placed upon a solid I and lasting foundation-for "each one had a will to work." " I am sending with this an envelope t for your Lenten offering. If each one, each family, will do his, their part, ithe amount asked for-$500--will sure ly and easily be raised. Can we not deny ourselves something this Lent, Tc and learn self-control? Pray for me, lea dear friends, that God will strengthen ti me physically and spiritually, and that th a I may be with you long before Easter, as ° when we trust to have such a service pr as we never have had before. d Committing you to the care of our n e Heavenly Father, and praying soon to 0 see you face to face, Faithfully your friend and rector, h W.

Monday afternoon at her home in As ,sumption parish. Mrs. Labarre was e born in New Orleans in 1834, at No. n 117 Royal street, which number at that . time was between St. Louis and Conti t- streets. She was the daughter of Gus y tave Schmitt, who came here from to Stockholm, Sweden, and Miss Melanie o Seghers, of Brussels, Belgium. From ir her father, who, upon his arrival in ts Virginia, made the trip to this city by f horseback for the purpose of opening is a law office, and from her mother, who ar was the daughter of an eminent Jurist, Dominique Seghers, Mrs. Labarre in- I herited many qualities which marked 1o her for distinction in later life.

Toullier r, and Henning liv In Gretna, while Roau. ce prieh'a home is in Algers. Neither of the boys had much ma ur ney and for that reason fear for their to safety was entertained. Rouprioh was said to have had $2.50, while Henning had 25 cents and Tosllier a dime. Knowing that they would be put off the train if discovered, it is said that be the boys decided to "rlde the rods" "I and take their chances. et, They got as far as Bunkie, La., when they were hustled into a caboose attached to an eastbound freight train and sent back. They arrived home on TT ulnday morning, little the worse for thlr experienela FUN-MAKERS' FROLIC. On the evening of Monday, March 24th, the ladies of the Algiers Method- Ms ist Church will give an unusually hu morous entertainment, bearing the Vi title of "Fun-Makers' Frolic." This en- Ch. tertainment will be in three scenes, to- era wit: (1) "The Pounding;" (2) "The Ii Squaling," and (3) "The Funny Stunts is of a Concert." jui It will be recalled that these same no ladies gave two entertainments two years ago, "The Old Maids' Conven- re tion," and the "Spinsters' Return," to filt crowded houses, the Masonic Hall be- be ing crowded to the doors, and people nil turned away. The announcement that the the same mirth-provoking talent is now for rehearsing for the rendition of "Fun- an Makers' Frolic" should be sufficient to a t Sal pack the house, as the ladies declare wl that this will be a much better and all more laughable entertainment than all either of those given two years ago. ris The Masonic Hall has been engaged me for three nights. The "Fun-Makers' wI Frolic" will be given on Monday and iti' Wednesday nights, March 24th and th 26th, while a delightful children's mu- an sic-al entertainment and fairy play, en- an titled "Cinderella in Flowerland," will be the opening number for Tuesday is evening, March 25th. This is a very co capitavting children's play and will be an participated in by forty to fifty chil- pa dren, who are now being drilled almost daily for a perfect and picturesque s rendition of this very attractive and Jo entertaining feature. The second part pa of the program for Tuesday evening, su March 25th, will be an entertainment TI by the famous "Sweet Family," con- ar sisting of "Ma" Sweet and her seven gf talented daughters. The Herald will keep the public in t formed about this series of entertain- ot ment, to be given by the Methodist til ladies, who are trying to raise a neat . sum of money for remodeling the in- w terior of the Sunday-school room, and pi fitting it up with up-to-date chairs and w I other approved Sunday-school equip- c . ment hi ft STS.

Lucian, one of our local i la comers, was fouled by Frank Conley. I b- The referee, of course, was Walsh, who I n- has made many bum decisions. Not I- withstanding the fact that Lucian call ed the referee's attention that he was fouled and that the newspaper report- I ers, as well as the policemen and Cor- I poral Mahon saw the foul, the referee made no attempt to stop the bout. It was then that Corporal Mahon stepped into the ring and called "Halt!" on that kind of sport (?). It seems that our local fighter, Ed die Lucian, was too much for the much-cracked-up Conley and it seems Stheir only chance to get even with our e local boxer, and that is to put him out of business with a foul. There was Squite an uproar among the spectators as and after quiet had been restored o. Walsh told the spectators that Corpo at ral Mahon believed the blow was a foul one, but in his (Walsh's) opinion, said Conley had not fouled the home Sboy. The crowd cheered Lucien andI hissed conley. Im In the fight Luclen showed quite in plainly that he is a better boy than he by has ~been given credit for. At times ng he had Conley groggy and repeatedly ho staggered the once claimant for the st, bantam title. Lucien took a real good in- lacing, and at the time the fight was stopped, it seemed an open question as to which boy would land the deciding punch first. On After Lucien was carried to his dressing room a report was spread in that he exhibited a slight swelling ras where Conley's blow landed. Ich The other half of the program pro duced a wretched scrap, Coulon refus ing to fight Flsse. Coulon's only ex cuse for appearing in the ring seemed for the purpose of stalling through ten rounds. This he did, much to the sa VE ger of some of the spectators, who yelled for action. lisse did all he could to give the fans a bout, but Cou ion seldom tried to land a blow. The preliminary showed Kids Verges ey sand Buras going four rounds. Verges Swas ready to take a sleep during the ht last two rounds, but Burns did not seem to possess the knockout wallop. lier The entertainment which is being * handed out by the Orleans Athletic Club is beginning to make the real sports good and tired and it is no won eir der that patronage to the resort is on the wane. off SERVICE MARCH 2. ds" Presbyterian service will be held at the Pythian Hall Sunday, March 2, at 3:30 o'ciock.

Many Layers of Varnish Are Applied F( to Produce a Fine Finish. Writing from Hongkong concerning Chinese lacquering work, Consul Gen. eral G. E. Anderson says: i In general the basis of all lacquering API is a varnish obtained from the resinous juice of the lthus vernicifera, or "uruso no-ki." "urushi." or "varnish tree," cul tivated in many parts of China anti Ja pan for the purpose. This tree in many respects resembles an ash. It grow'. tag fifteen to eighteen feet high and can loll be tapped after seven years. The vr- gu nlsh is obtained by making incisions ill the bark of the tree near its base be fore daylight during July and August and catching the sap. which exudes as a mixed clear and milky product. This sap is placed in tubs or similar vessels. l which are set in the sun to evaporate mo all moisture. It separates into a clear. 305 almost colorless, resinous liquid, which rises to the top. and into a thicker. more resinous and darker liquid masa:;. which settles to the bottom. The qual ities are then searated by decanting. the top representing the tilier grades and the bottom the lowest grades. used 1 r for ordinary paints. "Ningpo varnish" and similar ordinary work. In general, the wood to be lacquered is a soft dry pine. The surface and corner of the article are made as smooth as Chinese process renders it est possible. The joints are filled with Eli oakuim. paper pulp or strips of grass cloth; the corners are rounded or - smoothed; paper is pasted over the joints or rough places, and everything possible is done to present as smooth p surface as possible for the varnish. Ce The article is then coated with a prep- Tt aration of emery powder, vermilion or gamboge. which is allowed to dry, and - the whole is then polished or ground down by pumice stone, powdered sand stone or powdered deerhorn or various other similar substances. The prepara tion is again applied and ground down. The lacquer itself is then applied M with a broad, soft brush as evenly as pl possible and in a room from which ahl V wind and dust and as much light as can be dispensed with are excluded, the idea being to apply the lacquer and have it dry in a dark, damp place free Bi from all possibility -f dust. er After the varnish dries it is ground th down or polished with powdered stone la or deerhorn or similar substances, and of another application is made, dried. S8 ground and polished. The process is repeated according to the nature of the H article and the quality of the work, three coats representing an ordinary E minimum and fifteen to eighteen coats B an ordinary maximum. For solid col I- ors this alternate varnishing and pol l ishing constitutes the finish. Various decorations are applied in different 3 d ways. In mother of pearl inlay work. si for example, the mother of pearl is cut a in the desired figures in thin shell, and t, the pieces are placed in position on the , e undried surface soon after the applica- F 1. tion of one of the early coats of var nish and are then varnished over, pol ished as the rest of the surface, revar- h nished. -and so on, becoming imbedded n ' in the enamel and polished and repol. ti ished as a part of it. Greatest Ocean Depth. Until the recent sounding of the I - German survey ship Planet the record a t tfor ocean depth was held by a sound- I Y. ing made on the American ship Nero. b ,p near Guam. In 1890. The Nero record t t. was 31.008 feet. that obtained by the Planet 32.088 feet. The latter "deep"' is located but forty nautical miles east of northern Mindanao. It has long t been known that the shore in this re- t r- glon shelves away very rapidly. a t e depth of 5.000 feet or more occurring I It within twenty miles of land. but this d drop of approximately six miles with in in a distance of forty miles makes the land face here almost a cliff. Accord ing to the German oceanographers who d- made the discovery. the floor of the e Pacific at tils point is diversified by 8 a series of hitherto unknown "trench r es." The highest mountain.
