New York, Jan. 24,—The third annual
convention of the National Association
of Manufacturers will be called to or-
der by President Theodore C. Search of
Philadelphia, in the Masonic Temple,
this city, to-morrow. This willrbejhe
most important meeting that the or-
ganization has ever held and a num-
ber of topics "will come up for discus-
sion which are most vital to the future
development of , the great industrial
and commercial interests of the United
States.
Piesident Search in his annual mes—
:-age will give considerable attention
to the subject of- the reform of our con-
sular Service. He has made for years

subject and will appeal for a cOmpIete

sons. He will state that the two great
evils from which the consular service
has suffered have been the appoint-
ment of men lacking in qualifications
and experience.
Among the many topics to be dis—
cussed at this convention will be sub-
ects relating to American trade with
foreign countries and to questions of
home industry. To further our -for-
eign relations the following questions
will receive attention: Establishment
of sample warehouses, restoration of
the American merchant marine and
restoration of treaties of reciprocity.
The tariff problem, the proper adjust-
ment of duties so as to equalize the
cost of imported articles and of goods
made in the United States and the
matter of obtaining new markets f01
American products will be thoroughly
discussed.
The subjects of home interest to be
considered are these: The preserva-
tion of the home market, the establish-
ment of a Department of Commerce
and Industry by the Government, uni-
fication of railroad freight rates, the
proper enforcement of the uniform
bankruptcy law recently adopted by
Congress, and the improvement 'of in—
ternal waterways. '
A very important feature of this con-
vention will - be the annual banquet,
which will take place at the magnifi-
cent Waldorf-Astoria Hotel Thursday
evening. President McKinley will be
the guest of honor and Senator Frye
of Maine will speak on the subject of
“Our Merchant Marine.” Other speak-
ers of reputation will be present and
the affair will attract universal atten-
tion throughout this country. A B0-
hemian smoker will be held at the Wal-
dorf-Astoria. to-morrow evening. A
stage performance will be one of the
features of this entertainment.

MOBS PILLAGE IN ALGIERS.
R-ioting in the Capital Ends in Bloodshed
«Police Prove Powerless.
Algiers, Jan. 24.—Anti-Hebrew riots?
were renewed here yesterday. The
mob invaded the Hebrew quarter and
pillaged the shops in the Rue Baha-
zoum, driving the merchants into the
streets. A squadron of chasseurs was
ordered to the place and charged the
mob with drawn swords, but the mob
reformed further on, cheering for the
army.
Revolvers and daggers were used
freely. One man, who was stabbed in
the back and shot in the head, died on
the spot. Many were seriously stabbed,
one named Cayol dying from his
wounds this afternoon. The crowd
hearing of this, became dangerously
excited, shouting. “They are murder-
ing us!” “Death to the Jews!" and
resumed pillaging.
The fronts of‘ six shops were destroy-
ed and the leot was burned.
The police repeatedly charged the
rioters, but were stubbornly resisted
and were powerless to restore order
until the troops arrived. Several po-
licemen were severely maltreated.
Many arrests for theft have been made.
The Hebrew authorities recommend
their co-religionists to remain indoors.
Both the men killed in the rioting were
Christians, and their companions have
sworn to avenge them.
Disturbances and the'looting of He-
brew shops continued throughout last
evening, despite the efforts of the
At 10 p. m.
some Hebrew flour stores were pillaged
and their contents thrown into the
streets. The zouaves then charged the
crowd with fixed bayonets and dis-
persed it. Many pérscyis were 2 in—

- THEJSTORY OFA SUN DIAL. .
Made by :3 Boy Who Couldn’tbe Turned
Into a Farmer or a. Carpenter. ‘
An interesting story is told by the
Philadelphia Times of an old sun-dial
in Pennsylvania. In the first part of
the last century an Irish emigrant
named Porter settled near Philadel-
phia. Among his sons was one named
Andrew, whom, he tried to make into
a. farmer and then, like his brothers,
into a carpenter. But Andrew‘would
have nothing to do with the plough or
the" plane. He hid in corners. poring
over some mathematical books , that
had come into his possession.
One day he found the design of a
sun-dial in one of them, and resolved to
make one. He walked eight miles to
a soapstone quarry, found a slab, and
carried it home on his back. Full of
_zeal he went to his bro-thers’ shop, and
used their saws, and chisels in his
work. When they came home in the
evening the dial was finished, Andrew
was triumphant, but every ‘tool in the
shop was nearly or quite ruined. They
drove him into the street in a fury of
anger and contempt.
was an idle good-for-nothing, who
wouldnever fully earn his bread, bade
him go and fit himself for school teach-
ing, which he- called the “lazy man’s
work ” _
Andrew gave himself to had study
for the summer, and then went to the
astronomer, David Ritt‘enhouse,
asked him to lend him a book on conic
sections. '
“How long have you studied mathe—
matics?” demanded the great man.
“Three months.” ’
“And what do you know of conic
sections?” Rittenhouse rejoined, with
withering contempt.
But after asking the boy a few ques-
tions he not only lent him the book,
but advised him not to waste his time
in the country, but go to Philadelphia
and open a mathematical school.
This poor farm> boy was afterward
General Andrew Porter, an officer in
the war of the Revolution and an au-
thority on mathematical science in the
young republic.
INVISIBLE WARSHIPS OF FRANCE.
Covered With 9. Composition They Can’t
Be Seen Even With a Searchlight.
France, it is admitted by naval au-
thorities of other nations, is in posses-
sion now of the most mysterious but
most potent agent yet devised by sci-
ence for making terrible the naval
warfare of the future.
A Paris inventor has devised a chem-
ical composition Which, applied to any
solid substance, will make it invisible
at night, even under the glare of the
most powerful electric searchlight.
Repeated trials were made during
the protracted naval manoeuvres off
Brest of the Working of the “invisible
paint.”
‘Torpedo boat No. 61—one of the
most formidable in the French torpedo
fleet—was told ofi to assume the role
of a hostile craft endeavoring to make
its way into the harbor past the vas-
sels of the defending squadron, which
included the most powerful men-of-
war to the French service, neaily all
of them” equipped With tremendous
searchlights. ‘
The trial was startlingly successful.
The torpedo boat succeeded in travers-
ing the entire reach of water patrolled
by the guarding warships, and, though
covered again and again by the glaring
lights of vessel afte'r vessel, made its
way into port, and three hours .after
the beginning of the manoeuvie was
safely at anchor oi the town—~An-

OVER-HEAD CHECK REIN.
It Causes ‘the Horse Much .Sufl‘ering—
EurOpeans Will Not. Have If.
John P. Haines, of New York, Presi-
dent of The American Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to animals says:
“I regard the use of the over-head
check rein, Kemble or Jackson rein,
as brutal and unnecessary, but I am
happy to say that the use of it is rapid-
ly going out of fashion, a large per-
centage of the horses in New York City
being driven’ to-day without check
reins.” ‘
This bit draws the mouth open, is
constantly cutting against the upper
part of the mouth, and being short and
thin, is a constant cause of uneasiness
and suffering. ‘
The over-strained, unnatural po-
sition proves at once to an artistic eye
the absurdity of such artificial aids.
It has been impossible to introduce
this check rein in Europe, audit would ,
not be tolerated on accountof its in-
terfering with the natural, free move-
ment of the neck, and placing a
straight, jerking line too much in evi-
dence.
Verily, the American people- have
shown an astonishing lack of taste
by the adoption of this over-head
check, .and an astonishing lack of
heart. ,
Veterinary surgeons declare that half
at least, of their occupation would be
gone if over—head ‘and other check
reins were abolished.

The Interesting Adveutme of Two Amer-
ican Girls in Gel-.many
A pretty story was told the other
day Of two American girls who visited
the palace at Potsdam and had the un-
usual honor o'f beingescorted about
the ugly old building by the Emperor
himself. It illustrates a. trait in his
character that is not often talked about,
but is shown frequently. The imperial
palace is open 'to visitors only when
the. Emperor and his family are ab—
sent; but, without knowing this fact.
the two American ladies made the
journey out there, and were repulsed
by the usher at the door. They under-
stood very little German, and he could
talk no English, but, with the usual
persistency of the American tourist,
they were trying to induce him to ad-
mit them. While they were“ in the
midst of the controversy a gentleman
in‘ the uniform of a soldier came rap-
idly up the steps, much to the confu—
sion of, the doorkeeper, and, address-
ing the ladies in English, asked if he
.could be of any service to them. They
-explaine_d that they had come upfrom
Berlin to see the palace, and were very
much disappointed because they were
not allowed to enter it.
“I think I can let you in,” be 211-.—
swered, “and will show you around my—
self.”
80 he escorted them through the va-
ex—
plained everything in a most entertain—
ing manner. Then he followed them
_out to the portico, where one of them,
Who had a kodak, asked permission to
take his photograph. She hadn’t the
slightest suspicion who he was. but
during the hour they had been together
in the palace they had laughed and
joked familiarly, and felt very well ac-
quainted. The Emperor grace-
fully consented, and posed for three
snap shots. Then he bade them good
morning, hoped they would enjoy their
visit to Germany, saluted them in the
German way and re--entered the pal-
ace. .
The young ladies were delightedlaand
related their experience with great
gusto when they returned to their
boarding house. That afternoon they
took their kodak to a photographer. to
have the films‘developed, and when
they brought home the first prints of
the handsome officer .their German
landlady exclaimed: “Gott in himmel!
Der Kaiser!”
.The young ladies, being sovereigns
in their own country, were. not abashed
at the discovery, although they cannot
understand why they did not recog-
nize him. Nevertheless, they had a.
print of each film handsomely mounted,
and sent them to the Emperor, with
theii compliments and the explanation
that they were not aware of the iden-
tity of their guide or they would have
made a more formal ackno'wledgment
of the honor conferred upon- them.—

AN HONOR MEDAL.
It “’as Granted~to a Union Soldier on
Confederate '1festi1110u_v.
medal of honor recently to a Federal
soldier on the affidavit of a Confeder‘
ate,” said Charles I. Evans of Texas,
“and it is probably the first instance
on record of this kind. The Federal,
gscldi‘er' who received the medal Was
Thomas I. Higgins, now of Hannibal,
Mo. During the war he was the col-
o-r-bearer of the Ninety-Ninth [Illinois
-r‘egi1nent~,' and was holding that posi-
tion at the siege of Vicksburg. In an
assault, on the 22nd of May,,1863. the
Ninety-Ninth Illinois was ordered to
charge and not to look back. I wasra
,member of the Second Texas regiment,
. and weconfronted the charging IllinoiL
sans. We repulsed the Illinois reg<
iment a short distance from the breast-
works, and sent it back _in confusion.
Higgins, however, was literally obey<
ing orders. He never looked back. He
never noticed the retreat of his regi-
ment, but came bounding forward. his
colors flying as prettily as a soldier ev-
er saw. When within forty yards of
our works word was passed along the
line not to shoot the brave soldier. and
all firing ceased. When Higgins saw
his predicament he started to retreat
with his colors. but we told him to
come on or we would have to shoot
him. Several men-ran out and brought '
him within the breastworks. We kept
him several days, during which time
we "learned to like and admire him
He was then paroled. I was one of the
men who witnessed his heroic deed,
and made an affidavit to that effect.
Several of my companions who_remem—
bered Higgins and his charge also made
affidavits. On these the Secretary of
War granted a medal. Higgins could
have been vouched for by members of
his own regiment, but the novelty of
'the recommendation by his former foes
led Eto thagt course.”—Washington> Star.
