Annual Seifiou.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 15. The thirty
fourth annual session of the National
Grange, Patrons of Husbandry, began
here yesterday with a good attendance
and -will continue for a week or more.
The chief feature of interest was the an

Jones of Indiana, who said that iu most
of the states the order had enjoyed great
prosperity during the yeur. Iu a few
states it had not succeeded so well. The
members of the grange, while affiliating
" with each of the political parties in the
last campaign, had emerged from its bat
tles without disturbins the fraternal
, spirit actuating the order. Never had
the conditions bsen more favorable for
- the extension of the order than now.
Tie report' of the secretary, Dr. John
Trimble of Washington, showed that 182
new "granges had been chartered during
the year,- the order now numbering over
, half a million members. During the day
addresses were delivered by O. H. Kel

ABU IE WHITNEY'S SLEEP
For the last forty hours Abbie Whit
ney, the daughter of George W. Whit
ney, of Auburn. Me. has lain iu an un
conscious condition at her home on
Miller street. The girl's parents, and
others say that she was drugged last
Saturday nip-lit at Sabattis. where she
was attending a dance. It is bard to
say whether she was drugged or wheth
er she is suffering from some peculiar
malady which bailies the phpsiciiin's
skill in diagnosis.
Saturday evening, with two or three
ether Auburn girls. Abbie Whitney,
who is about 18 years old. went to a
dunce at Sabattis. They danced until
midnight and then returned by a late
electric car. When the car was about
half way to Lewiston the Whitney girl
onplalncd of being tired and sleepy.
In a few moments she was sound
asleep.
When the car drew near LewNion,
another young lady, wiio was acting
us a pillow for the sleeping girl, tried
to arouse her friend. Her efforts were
ia vaiu. She had fallen into a deep
sleep that defied all attempts to break.
At times the girl would moan and
taik. but she did not awaken, nor has
she come to since.
When the car reached the Lewistou
waiting room, the unconscious girl
was carried inside and was placed up
on a sofa. All the ordinary restora
tives were resorted 1o. btit to no avail.
A doctor was summoned.
He worked on the young woman a
while, and. finding the case difficult,
ordered a carriage and took the girl
to her home in Auburn. At times to
day the girl moves and complains of
a headache. She talked n great deal,
and the burdeu of her talk was that
she didn't care for the ice cream be
cause it tasted bad.
"I tell you I won't eat any more of
it. Take it away, take it away, let
me go. I want to go upstairs and
dance. 1 won't eat any more ice cream
with you. It tastes dreadful. No,
no more, I won't have it."
Iu her delirious talk the sick girl
named an Auburn young man us the
person who gave her the ice cream.
She said: "Yes. there was something
in that ice cream. I saw your friend
there when he put it in. I didn't? I j
know better; I saw him throw the hot- j
tie away over there in that waste pile.'' j
The case is one which puzzles trie
physicians, who say the girl's peculiar
condition may be due to drugs or other
causes. One physician says the girl
may be suffering from some acute kid
ney disease, but admits that there are
some things in her condition which are
not accounted for by this diagnosis.

I ,The Making- of Billiard Balls ; t
and - the Gentleman's Game r
C "O O O
CDLEASE shutthedoor quickly, as
the slightest draught of cold
air might make hundreds, ol
dollars', worth of my charges check
and crack and become useless." This
waa my salutation as I sought the little
cubby-hole "ivory room" of one of the
largest billiard supply houses in the
country, bent on having a taik with th
veteran turnsr of ivory whose prac
ticed eye and deft touch had beet
called into play to fashion all the bil
liard balls that hs-ve-been used in cham
pionships in this country for nearly a
score of years. It may be no exaggera
tion, to say that if this noted manipula
tor of the chisel and chuck lathe does
not actually turn into as perfect
spheres as ma can fashion, iiU per cent,
of all the billiard balls you may see in
public billiard halls and on the tables
of the wealth, he at least selects the
roug'h spheroid of ivory that, are
patted to his chief assistants to be
turned under his, immediate direction.
George C. Brltaer is getting old. It
was away back iu'J844 that he beg-an
turning ivory bails in the shop of T. &
D. Ford, in Philadelphia. Almost 74
years old. he acknowledges that it
takes him longer than it used to study
out "sifters" from the mass of ivory in
the rough. But it is really a pleasure
to a lover of line mechanics to see the
veteran, when Jacob Schaeffer or Ea
gene Carter, Oeorje Siosson. or some
other leading light in the billiard world
has give ait ordr fur a set of true
billiard spheres, walk erer to the lathe
end run his hand over the bit of ivory
revolving- several hundred times a min
lite ia the chuck of the lathe. Be will
take, oil a ihaving of ivory so thin tJiat
it leares a trace like the most impalpa
ble powdtr on your Lud. Yet that mas
ter workmen ime of touch, so acute
and truei'. might be the means of decid
ing a great contest for skill between
two great billiardists for $l,tC0 a side.
Obeying- the injunction to close the
Cocr. 1 entered Mr. Britnsr's ivory
room, and was .con gloating over hun
dreds aye, thousands of dollars'
worth of the bea utiful product for
which so many pachyderms in Africa
and Asia have given up their lives.
Eri'ner knows ivory as the physician
knows the human body. He says that
ivory is "50 times- more cranky then an
old caid." and swears th-.it he can make
a billiard ball true. Let a draught cf
cold air strike it and ths ball will
be twisted into a spheroid or checked
so badly that it will be unless.
This veteran has letters from all tho
billiard champions of two or three dec
ades, thanking him for the great care
that he used in selecting the bails for
champions-hips. Perhaps no man in the
iiew world is more trusted by the pro
fessional biiliardists than "Old Man"
Brltner in the selection of ivory of th
same density, "life." action, weight,
etc.. for a tournament set of balls. H
has the intuitive faculty that must
haTe come from over a half century of
ivory carving, of selecting "sisters"
ivory Bisters that are as near alike in
every respect as humaa prowess can
get them. Britner will even permit a
microscopic investigation to ascertain
whether or not he haa list taken the
ivory that ie nearest alike. .Sometime
h even finds two rough blocks that
came from the lama tusk. In . those
cases the making of two billiard balls
almost perfectly retembhng each other
is a comparatively easy matter.
Eritner is a deep student of tbe ivory
question. Bluntly he declares that no
human being- will ever invent a substi
tute for ivorv for biiliardists, because
Ct-AItENCE Q.1ESN.
there will 'never be anything like ivory
in the world. ,
Although surrounded by a f irfect
mint of money represented by ivory.
Britner, with the true artistic spirit,
aees only in the elephant' product the
"tournament," the "fancy set," the "or
dinary set" and the pool bail blocis.
He refuses to become worried over ths
destruetien of elephants and their hab
it of bearing tusks suitable for ivory
only aften having readied a consider
able aga. "Mine the ivory when. ih
supply of live ivory runs shy," said the
student of ivory. "I can tell the ivory
that is brought from the interior of Af
rica, where pei'hapa.t .has .lain buried
ia. the sand for many years. There is
much more where that cams from, and
the shrewd ivory traffickers ara not go
ing to bear the market by sending to
the coast too much at a time. Besides,
tiers- is a great supply of fossilized
ivory mastodon and mammoth ivory.
That turns up well, but it is teo heavy
for billiard sets. Now, here is a tusk
that was found, with plenty others, ia
the glacial drift in northern Alaska. I
made a, set of balls out of it, but "the
experts were not able to send theia

balls made for pool table use would
be almost indestructible. The animal
that grew that tusk may have lived a
million years ago. At any rate his
ivory is still so good that it makes good
billiard cue tips and I have made ele
gant cigar holders from it."
Clarence Green, the billiard-room
keeper, who is known from San Francis
co to New York as one of the most de
voted friends the gentlemen's game has
in America, sees great prospects- for
billiards this season. While Mr. Greon,
like, all the other members of the na
tional organization of room keepers
of which Veteran Tom Foley is tto
executive head, is iirm in his belief
that the amateur championship of the
United States at balk line billiards
should be played in some public hall
where admission, would bs by ticket
only, and where no gate iconey woula
be expected, he declares that the game
QIORCE C. BRITNER,
Claest Billiard Bail Maker in tho Country.
I
should not b'e injured by ciashing over j
this point. If ths roomkeepers of tho I
country are not to get the honor of ;
giving the amateur championship, the
lover of billiards should da all in
their power to assist the organization
which will conduct tne championship.
In the east there are other friends of
billiards, who. like Clarence Green, ap
preciate the plans of some "anarchists"
who woula have a ciash'of champion
ships, now that the Kuiekerbscker
Athletic club, of New York, has sched
uled dates for the regular winter class
A and class B balk line championships,
undr the auspices and control of tho
Amateur Athletic union. It may be
palpable to many that ths Amateur
Athletic union has no more right to
attempt to regulate and govern the
sport of billiards than it has to try to
run the United States mint, but th
friends of billiards urge that the New
Yorkers be permitted -to give their
championship. If the reomkeepsrs do
cot like the amateur standing of the
men who play, let them set an adaman
tine rule governing amateurism arid
give their championship at some other
opportune time. The public will form
its own conclusions as to who are the
real amateurs.
"All signs point to a great, revival
for biliiarda this season," said Mr,
Ureea. "It is wonderful how well 'Wiz
iard' Schaefer holds his own in the
game. He "is just as good us he ever
rvas the same shrewd student of tha
game, and there is but one other like
Aim 'Student' Slosson. Where, are the
18-inch experts like this pair eorainsy
from to till thsir places when they
crop out? That is a problem. Oeorgo
Sutton might fall into such a place."

FINE CAPE WINES.

in tke Wtnsrlei ef
France.
The wines known as Couf '.antia ara
cbtaiued by stepping the natural fer
mentation of the "must" or juice,
either by the addition of alcohol or
sugar or by allowing ths grapes to be
to ripe when gathered as to contain a
percentage of su-ur sufficient to arrest
fermentation. Had and white lluscatul,
Frontignac and I'ontao grapss are
chiefly used in the making of Con
ctantia. In some cases ths grapes are
allowed to become raitius before they
are pressed. Although this class of
wine is made in most parts of the col
ony, it everywhere bears the name cf
Constantia, from the district whsre it
was originally made.
It is now admitted that the attempt
to maks wines from grapes mo suit
able for heavy sweet wines is a mis
take; yet palatable light wines, both
red and whits, are made in many dis
tricts, says Chambers' Journal. For
this tha grapes are gathered when they
contain about IS to Hi per cent, of
suirar, are then crushed and allowed to
fermsnt. In making red wines the
juice is allorrcd to fermsnt on tho
husks, in ordsr to extract the color.
Some of the most important colonial
wine merchants make a practice ol
buying the "must" from the farmers

STEEL- ENGRAVING S EN 1.
Twenty-five years r. go or even less
far back iuto the-days, when art was
not. spelled with a! capital letter, no
s-ilf-respecting citizen would have- ven
tured to invite his friends hito a "par
lor" not adorned with specimens of the
alleged art -of more or less incompe
tent steel engravers.' "The Pilgrim's
Progress," "The Guardian Augcl.". di
minutive and irritating children otter
ing loaves of bread to preposterously
grateful and ragged "poor" sur.'t
works of art as the.se adorned the walls
of ninety-nine out ot e very hundred i
nouses, it was depressing Uom an
artistic point of view, but this feeble
imitation testified to tin- supremacy
of the noble art of sieel engraving, of
which the masters were an inspired
few. The engraved atrocities have
vanished from the walls, suid alou;;
with them the' truly beautiful speci
mens of the art have grown to be less
highly prized, except by .the onr
noissuer. Steel engraving lias come to
be one o the lost,, art.-?. In a few
years all Hs followers will have passed
away, and the' good engravings now
extant will even more distinctly become
merely- interesting subjects for the col
lector rather tliau for the uduiiraliou
of the many.
Steel engravers have nor yet found
their occupation j;o:ie entirely. The
old men who once engraved pictures
of ambitious size and scope now toil
sm-li of them as are left over the de
tails -cf lank notes. It is the one living-
branch of steel eaptriivinj?, one
worthy enough in its way, for iue work
is beautiful, Inti. one which wiii never
win the admiration once showered on
huge copies of great pictures. To the
.ceneral public the figure rather than
the design of. .a bank note is oC impor
ance. and few stop 10 note the delica
cy of the lines, tile frraces of the com
position, all eiiRravod, very likely, with
loving car-.- by some old mail . whoso
pride in his art remains although the
glory of it ha. go in forever.
The branch of engraving has reached
a higher development in America, than
anywhere else. The delicacy of the
work is sometimes extreme, and gives
an idea of the standing of the artist
in tup- days when his skill was put to
higher vises. The old men are grow
ing fewer every year. For the special
profession ot bank note engraving j
young uien are being trained to take
their places, but for the broader work
as it used to be carried on. there will j
be no successors. The old engravers
are the las! of their ancient guild, and i
with tlii-m tln art of steel engravings
as it relates to lar
pictures will die.
litir. narrow as is tlieir held, it is
interesting to find that these old artists
recognize one another's work ,by the
minute d-fails of ii:;1 bank note or
stock certificate. Much of it is done
by geometric lathe in the hands of ap
prentices, but the tovt-li of the true
arii.-f is percept ible to his brother, jusr.
as it is possible to 'delect in a moment
the style of a paiuler.
There is always infinite pathos
about the idea of the world's losing
anything beautiful it once possessed.
It does not matter whether or nor
there has come something to take its
place the sadness is there. As a mat
ter of fact steel engraving lias passed
away because something as satisfac
tory and far more cheap has been dis
covered. Photography is a good
enough substitute fr the inferior work
which was so familiar a quarter of a
century ago. Thf rage for etching also
helped to .overthrow steel engraving
from its position of security, but the
downfall was brought about chiefly by
the invention of photography. The
plates engraved by really good workers
cost a large sum of money and ,an
amount of time disproportionate even
to the high price. Muller spent six
years in perfecting his "Sistitie Ma
donna," and the price paid for it re
warded his time at a less rate than
that of au -ordinary dry goods clerk
cf to-day.
(Such works were, ineded. a labor of
love, and to them there attached a
sentimental interest that can never
cling around the photograph which
has, driven the engraving from the
lield. An ordinary photographer
that is. a man with no special artistic
inspiration can produce the beautiful
work which hp.r.gs in I lie place of those
.iK-e honored copies of great pictures.
Of course, steel engravings are- still
bought a' a ft sold .and still lung in the
Ileuses of artlftie people: but. those
who buy are in the main collectors.
Tho general public no longer looks at
the old time favorites. To take up
some volume of a good art journal of
twenty-five years and compare it with
recent issues is to meet, a forcible re
minder of th'- way in which t.nstfl has
changed. A ittnrter of a century ago
tb" pages of such volumes were filled
with steel engravings and nothing
else, while now dashing color effects,
daring "studies" in charcoal, fill page
after page.
The position in the art world of the
great engravers is quite beyond dis
pute. There is no question of whether
or not there is general Interest in their
manner of work.
The value of their engra vings is
fixed, and their service to the world
is beyond question. Were it not for
Mei-ginn, we might have had no idea
of the beauty of Leonardo da Vinci's
"Last flipper." The true spirit of art
has beeu nobly preserved by such en
gravers and their followers, and there
is about thrir work a charm which
fashion cannot affect.
But these works are too high priced
for the public to know much of them,
and every year will increase ilioir
value. For an engraving, if it is to be
perfect, must be printed at the time
the plate is made.
Of all the men who engraved pic
tures which entitled them to rank with
the old'timf artists only one is living
to-day. n-:d he has attained n great
nge. This is the Germau. Edward
')jit!del. "When I die." he lias said.
,: there will be r.o more." .MaiKU'$ f
''Charlf s 1.." '"Madonna of the Skies."
"Van Dyck," and the rest are in the
true manner of the old engravers. But,
although the old line engraving has
passed, a few artists are devoting
themselves to a kind of engraving on v
sleej which follows after the old mas
ters, while it does not imitate exactly.
Sherborn, in -England, is one of -the
best known workers. He devotes him
self almost entirely to book plates. For
the " slow .working, ill paid, idealistic
steel engraver, with his huge plates,
the modern world has no place. New

McKinley's net loss in Mc-

In six southern states Bryan gained
in liKJO. compared with the vote in
1S0O. 39.000 votes, while in the seven
southern staves, lie lost 158,000 votes,
suffering a net loss in that section of
the country of 110,000 votes. To what

I js little Americanism.
In but one eastern state did Mc
Kinley make any gain iu 11100 over
his vote iu 1S9 inDelaware and that
iiin may be shown "oy the official lisr
ures to be more apparent than real.

west and west all the states ia that
section that he carried save Illinois
he gained 340,000 votes. To what can
this shifting o public opinion be at
tributed V Of course many things en
tered it. .but it is altogether likely that
the McKinley loss in the east was due
to disaffection arising out, of the for
eign policy of the administration,
while his gain in the west and middle?
west is to be attributed to the decline
of the silver craze and the approval of
the foreign policy which the east ac
cepted with reluctance. In the east,
too. there are thousands of working
men in factories who were actuated in
part by 1he feeling that the republi
can party had not done all it should
have done to suppress the trust. The
west, bcinjr more given to agriculture,
was moved not so much by tbe truet
issue as by the national expansion for.
which the republican party and Mc
Kinlov stand. It was the eonserva-
A nurse ! tism of the east antagonizing the pro
S. Teller i prressive spirit of the west. The lat-
ier won for the reason that the popu
lar revolt in the east was not great
enough to change the electoral vote
of that section. ' .
The revulsion in the silver producing
states of Colorado, Montana. TJtalr.
Idaho and Nevada is remarkable, for
there Bryan, though he carried four
of them, lost over 200,000 votes. Thin,
in itself, is enough to prove that the
free silver issue is dead buried under
