In New York has Just taken place
and fell short of public expectations
according to a New York dispatch
The quality of the apples wan good
although a great deal of them were
green ami almost an hard an granite,
This, however, did not militate no
much against them an the ungainly
packages In which the apples were
packed and the unattractive appear
unce which they prenented.
The trade showed Indifference from
the start to the clone of the nale, and
as a renult more than half of the 1,0.'I7
boxen which comprised the shipment
were withdrawn. The balance sold
at prices ranging from $ 1.3.1 to 12.10
per box. It wan generally agreed
that the fruit arrived at a very In
opportune time.

W"UA.K J. GOULD, youngest son
of Jay Gould, bus doubled the
millions Inherited from hla fa

ia traction' Interests and water powers.
Frank Gould's share of bis father's
greut fortune was 112,000,000. Quiet
ly, but with business sagacity like that
upon which the original wealth of the
famous family was founded, the young
man bas obtained a monopoly of prop
erties which experts say should make
him one of the country's richest men.
The fact became known recently
through the presence In New York of
a number of engineers who came to
confer with Mr. Gould. Chief among
these Is William C. Whltner, an officer
In a dozen or more companies which
have been organized during the last
few years.
Mr. Whltner declined to go into the
details of the Frank Gould Invest
ments further than to admit that they
are more extensive tnan any or tus
New York friends have believed.
From other authoritative sources It
was learned that Mr. Gould baa Just
secured control of 20,000 bone water
power on tbe Roanoke river.
This property Is the nearest large
power to Norfolk, where Mr. Gould
now owns the street railways and
lighting plants. It is located only sev
enty miles from Norfolk and fifty
miles from Petersburg, where be also
owns everything In that line. Tbe Vir

Although Mr. Gould has admittedly
spent much time prospecting In Vir
ginia himself, his operations have been
carried on largely by a cousin, Rob
ert Northrop, Whltner and Sltterdlng.
Whltner, who Is a southerner of
quiet and unassuming manner. Is said
to be one of the ablest engineers In
the country. He was urged by Gould
to ohtnln and develop tbe large water
powers on the James river at Rich
mond, on the Appomattox at Peters
burg and on the Rappahannock at
Fredericksburg and last on the Ro
anoke river at Weldon.
Another of the valuable Gould prop
erties which Is being rapidly devel
oped Is the Richmond and Chesapeake
railroad. More than $8,000,000 bas al
ready been spent on this work. Miss
Helen Gould Is said to be Interested
In this and other projects with her
brother.
Ouo of Mr. Gould's associates said:
"Frauk J. Gould, who Is now but
Uttlo more than thirty years old, la
one of the smartest business men In
this country.
"I have watched him for several
years now and know blm to be thor
oughly practical. Like his father, Mr.
Gould seldom lets the public know
what he Is about until his purpose has
been accomplished. The properties,
which now constitute almost a monop
oly of the Virginia lighting, power
and traction Interests, have all been
acquired through confidential agents
In this way."
Frnnk J. Gould was born In 1878 and
Is the youngest son of Jay Gould.
He was educntcd In the New York
university aud later was assistant to
bis brother George, who was presi
dent of the Missouri Pnrlflc railway,
later was first vice president of the Mis
souri Pacific and oftlclnl of various re
lated lines; president of the Big Creek
Lumler company and president and di
rector of many other corporations. In
the past the papers have been full of
Mr. Gould's matrimonial affairs, he
having nt tii I ned almost as much pub

the family. He was married In 1001
to Miss Helen M. Kelly, who had a

Mrs. Gould sued for legal separation.

Many Machines and Processes
Used In Its Making.
ART IN FORGING THE BLADES.
To Become an Adopt In tho Dolieato
Work of Tempering Edgt Steal Ne
cessitates a Long Course of Training
and Year of Experience.
The labor of making a pocketknlfe
la, as usual In every industry that Is
carried on by tbe aid of a great deal of
machinery, much divided. Each blade
must go through six separate proc
essesfirst, forging; second, laying
on the "tangs." that part which Is In
serted Into the handle and through
which tbe blade Is riveted; third.
marking or stamping with tbe name
of the manufacturer; fourth, "choll
lug." or filing a depression In the neck
of the blade between tbe sharp edge
and the heavier part or "tang;" fifth,
tempering; sixth, grinding.
All this- applies to tbe two ordinary
blades of a knife. Nail blades are sub
jected to still another process namely.
the cutting of tbe file, which is a de
partment of work In Itself.
Should we Inspect the material room
of a knife manufactory we should And
heavy Iron presses, which stamp out
from sheets of brass or iron the metal
scales and lining. Tbe bright tips on
tbe end of the knife, called "bolsters,"
are pressed out of German silver un
der another heavy weight, which does
Its work In one blow. Huge shears cut
from sheets of steel, used only for this
purpose, long strips that are afterward
fashioned under a press Into springs
for tbe back of the knife.
Tbe rod of steel from which the
blades are made Is taken from the ma
terial room to tbe forge. Ilere one end
Is put Into a bed of hot coals, the bel
lows are pumped, and the end Is soon
red.
The skilled forger then hammers the
blade Into shape upon his anvil, and
so accurate Is his eye and so exact his
band that the blade does Dot deviate
hair's breadth from tbe little brass
pattern that Is before him and to
which each blade must correspond ex
actly.
Tbe blade Is next dipped In water
and becomes as hard and brittle as
glass. But the edges are rough. It Is
nearly uniform In thickness and Is a
light gray In color.
Again the forger's skill Is brought
Into play In the tempering. Laying
the blades on a copper plate over the
fire, be watches them as they change
their hue with the degree of heat, first
to straw color, then to darker straw
and now to the dark purple which de
notes that the proper degree of beat
has been obtained. They are plunged
Into cold water as fast as they reach
this point
If tbe blades were allowed to remain
longer over tbe fire the steel would
change to a light blue and become so
soft that the blades could be bent
easily. This Is perhaps tbe most Im
portant process In tbe manufacture.
Tbe blades are taken next to the
grinding room. The grinder must also
depend upon tbe accuracy of his eye
and the training of his hand, for as he
presses tbe blade on the rapidly re
volving stone, turning It on both sides
and grinding all Its edges, be prac
tically finishes It, though afterward, in
the cutler's room, a higher finish Is
given It.
From the "wheel room" tbe blades
go to the cutler's room, where they
find the other parts of the knife and
where all the parts are put together.
Each workman here Is at work upon
a particular -lot of knives, all of one
pattern. Upon his work bench are the
various parts of the knives, prepared
by other bands tbe center scales that
separate the blades, the outer brass
scales of lining, with the German sil
ver bolsters, which hove been secured
to the ends by a benvy drop hammer;
tbe wood, Ivory or pearl scales, the
springs aud tbe wire rivets.
Each brass lining, with Its covering,
Is put In a vise, and holes are drilled
In It for the rivets. A brass wire Is
thrust through the middle of the ban
die toward tbe back. This secures the
spring, and It is then broken off with
nippers and headed down with a ham
mer. This holds the scales and springs.
Another rivet through the bolster se
cures one blade or two blades if the
knife has more than one blade bung
at each end.
The several part are now put to
gether. The next process Is "hoftlng"
or finishing tbe covers of the handle,
which is done on a leather wheel coat
ed with glue and emery. The rough
edges are rounded and smoothed, and
then the knives are carefully examin
ed to see If the cutler has done his
work properly.
If the spring works easily and the
blades close without striking the
knives are sent to the blade polisher.
On a wooilen wheel covered with
Ine leather the onlliiory blades are
given a polish called a "glaze finish."
Finer grades of knives arc glveu a
"crocus finish" a iulrror-llko surface
on a leather wheel which revolves
very slowly. In order that the blades
Shall not become liented and lose their
temper.
The knives are now taken to another
room, where, on an oilstone, the keen
cutting edges are "set" This done,
the blades are closed, and the "bul
lng wheel" gives the final polish to the
outer side.-Philadelphia Record.
CHEERINESS.
Cheerfulness it a thing to be
more profoundly grateful for than
all that genius ever inspired or talent
accomplished. Next best to spon
taneous checrinest it deliberate, in

which we can create, cultivate and
