A FAMOUS BEAUTY.
DAUGHTER OF A GOVERNOR
- V'AND WIFE OF ONE.
Xn. Kate Chase Sprngrne, Once the
i Social and Political Queen in Waeh-
ington, Died in Obscnritx Incidents
i of Her Interesting Career
I The death of Mrs. Kate Chase
Bprague, wlf e of a former Governor of
Rhode Island and daughter of the late
Salmon P. Chase, at one time Governor
of Ohio, Secretary of the Treasury and
chief justice of- the United States Su
preme Court, which occurred at Edge-
wood, near Washington, not long ago,
closed a highly dramatic career, j,
She was born In 1840, the only daugh
ter of Salmon P. Chase, and owing to
the death of her mother she early be
came mistress of her father's house
hold. Her father, the most famous
member of a family whose scions had
already gained fame at the bar, on the
bench and In the Protestant episcopate,
was already one of the leading lawyers
In Cincinnati, when, in 1849, a coalition
Df Free Sollers and Democrats sent him
to the United States Senate. At the ex
piration of his term, in 1855, a some
what similar coalition elected him Gov
ernor of Ohio. In 1S57 tbe Republican
party returned him to the gubernator
ial seat,
How much of his advancement he
owed to the personal popularity of his
daughter Kate cannot be estimated. . It
la certain that before she had passed
out of her teens she was spoken of-not
only .as the leading belle of Cincinnati,
but as one of the most astute politicians
In Ohio. - Between her and her father
there existed a love that was little
short of mutual adoration. All the lit
tle girl's ambitions seemed to center in
him.'
Just as she. was reaching the- maturi
ty of her charms her father became a
great figure in-national politics as can
didate for the Republican Presidential
nomination, in I860, and Secretary of
the Treasury In Lincoln's cabinet V a
year later. In tho latter position he
won a reputat!on,second only to that of
Alexander Hamilton. At the height of
his power he established his home at
Edgewood, where his daughter has.Just
died. Here the most illustrious men of
the nation, the most distinguished vis
itors from abroad, were always wel
comed. . And here Kate Chase ruled su
preme over a crowd of admirers.
I A little prior to this time she had met
, Willi am Sprague, the man who was to
become her husband. Sprague was

born In Rhode Island, In 1830. In 1856
he had succeeded to the. management
of the print works, established by his
grandfather, and continued : by his
father and uncle. In 1860 he had been
elected Governor of his State. In Sep
tember of that year he had headed a
deputation from Rhode Island to the
dedication of the statue of Commodore
Perry in Cleveland. It waa then that
he first met Miss Chase. It was a case
of love at first sight, and on Nov. 12,
1863, they were married, all fashionable
and official Washington being repre
sented at the wedding. Mr. Sprague
had just been elected United States
Senator from Rhode Island. r ; i
1 The honeymoon was spent In Provi
dence. Mrs. Sprague cast her eyes over
her husband's broad ancestral acres In
that town, renamed the spot Canonchet,
and proceeded to replace the old man
sion with a splendid new palace. It
still remains an .unfinished Aladdin's
palace. v.w j
Possibly It was the headlong extrava
gance of the wife in this and other mat
ters which made the first rift In the
matrimonial lute,- but, in fact, the two
were utterly dissimilar In taste, In
character, In ambitions. Mrs. Sprague
took far more interest In her father's
political future than in her husband's.
She devoted herself to the former with
even more assiduity than before her
marriage. With the wealth at her com
mand, with her brilliancy, her tact, her
unfailing charm of manner, she easily
remained the center of attraction in
Washington society. All these gifts of
fortune were utilized In the effort to
make Salmon P. Chase President of the
United States.
' Chase, who bad left the Democratic
party on the slavery Issue, was willing
to become a candidate of a reconstruct
ed Democracy, and In 1868, when the
national convention was' held In New
York Mm. Knraene nwnpd nn rmnrtprs
there In the Interests of . her father.
Every effort was made -to bring the
man and the platform Into harmonious
relations, but failed. .. The convention
would not go far enough to suit Mr.
Chase and the latter was unbending.
He did not long survive his disappoint
ment. In 1870 be suffered a paralytic
stroke and In 1873 he died.
His death precipitated a rupture be
tween Mrs. Sprague and her husband.
After that event she became less cir
cumspect In her conduct, less reticent
about her domestic troubles, more ex
travagant In her expenses. :
Finally the husband's remonstrances
culminated In a request that she should
name some friend In whom she had
confidence and whom ; he might take
Into his. She suggested Roscoe Conk
llng. The husband was staggered.
ConkUng was his enemy, politically as

On Aug. 10, 1879, occurred the sensa
tional episode which was the first blow
to the political prestige of tbe New
York Senator. Mr. Sprague, returning
home to Canonchet unexpectedly from
an interrupted Journey, surprised Conk

gave him half an hour to leave the
house under pain of death. Mrs.
Sprague, with her accustomed audaci
ty, laughed at "Willie's threats" and

against the husband and by the hus

and on May 27, 1882, a decree of divorce
wa granted. .-. Mr. Sprague ; retained
the son, William Sprague Jr., and Mrs.

afterward married the. daughter o a

with mortgages, was ordered . to be

MAKING WALL PAPER,
DETAILS OF AN INTERESTING
PROCESS.
Instructive Description of tbe Varioua
Rtepe by Mnich the Blank Paper la
Made to Become tne Beautiful 'Wall
Covering We Know.
: The manufacture of wall paper Is
singularly interesting. First, a web
of blank paper is set In a reel behind
a blotchiug machine; two cylinders
bring the free end of the paper. Into
the machine, where a roller working In
a color pan puts a large quantity of
color upon the paper in blotches. Then
a set of flat brushes, called, jiggers,
brush quickly back and forth, thus
spreading the coloring matter evenly
over the surface of the paper.
As the paper comes from the blotch
ing machine a' workman takes one end
of it, wraps It around a stick and
places the stick across two-- parallel
endless chains, and the paper is thus
carried up an Incline, When eighteen
feet of It has run out, tbe chains take
up anoiher stick that lies across them,
and carry it up as they did the. first
stick ; a third stick soon follows the
second, and thus the work continues
until tbe entire web of paper has been
run out of the blotching machine.
The ehains, in their working, hang
the paper In loops over a. system of
steam pipes, and it is thus thoroughly
drlel before it reaches the end of the
chain work, where It is again wound
into web form. .' . ;': '."'.-;
Wall paper designs are first sketched
on paper, and then transferred to roll
ers of the size required. It Is neces
sary to prepare as many rollers .. as
there are colors in the design; ..thus,
if the design requires printing in eight
colors, eight rollers must be prepared.
' When all of the rollers are ready the
artist directs his workmen and.; each
one Is given a color. A workman to
whom that color has been given takes
roller , to "his bench, sets it firmly in
the grasp of a vise, and, with ham
mers, 'files,, brass,' ribbons, and brass
rods, goes to work. Every bit Of the
design that is to be in green Is traced
out for him, and he carefully repro
duces It In relief on tbe roller.
When his work is finished, the roller
bears on its face, In raised brass,' green
stems, leaves, etc., and at the proper
time and place will put the green
coloring and shading just where the
designer Intended it should be. In like
manner tbe . other rollers are . made
ready for use, and they are then .taken
to a press that has a large cylinder of
the width of ordinary wall paper.
There are grooves around the., sides
and the bottom of the cylinder, Into
ivhich are fitted the rods on the ends
of the rollers, and, when in position,
the faces of the rollers just touch the
cylinder. An endless cloth band comes
to each of the rollers from below, each
band works In a color pan, which con
tains, In liquid form, the coloring mat
ter to be carried on the roller to which
the band belongs.
: ' Each roller is placed in such position
that the part of the design upon it will
strike exactly In the spot necessitated
by the relative position of the other
rollers.. ' '
When all Is ready the paper that has
passed .through the blotching machine
Is placed between the cylinder and the
first roller, the cylinder and the roll
ers revolve rapidly, and soon the pa
per is beautifully printed. At each of
the endless cloth bands there Is a steel
scraper called a doctor, and it is the
doctor's duty to prevent too much
liquid from the other pans from get
ting on the rollers.
The wall paper press throws off ten
rolls of paper a minute, and each roll
contains sixteen yards. It is said that
stamped paper for walls was first
manufactured In Holland about the
year 1555. Some of the very cosily
wall paper In use nowadays is beau
tifully embossed and hand-painted.

ROWS IN CENTRAL AMERICA.
Revolution There Are a Regular Mid
summer Institution.
"These reported revolutions In South
America need excite no alarm,": says
a trader who knows the five republics
like a book. "They are the regular
midsummer revolts, and . are one of
the most cherished institutions of the
country. Without them the populace
would expire of ennui. You see. the
average native, except in the few large
towns, has absolutely no diversions.
Nature relieves him of the necessity
to toll, and all he has to do is to lie
still and breathe. When he desires to
smoke his wife rolls cigarettes, lights
them and places them tenderly be
tween his lips. Of course, that Is an
ideal existence, but It lacks variety,
and at least once a year even a Cen
tral American "will feel a craving for
excitement That Is where the regu
lar annual revolution comes in. - In a
(ertaln sense it takes the place of bull
fighting or lynchlngs, and. compared
with either of these sports, the casual
ties are trifling.
"It Is a mistake, too, to suppose that
the established governments ' regard
revolutions with disfavor. Not at all.
On. the contrary it would be very hard
to get along without them, for each
revolt is Invariably followed by a num
ber of confiscations, and the national
treasury is thus replenished. More
over, an opportunity Is afforded for a
bi military carnival, a fan-fare of
trumpets, a waving of banners, and a
ji rotechnlcal display of . proclama
tions. It is the great event of the year
and after it is all over the patriots dis
perse to their palm-leaf domiciles and
rest up for the next demonstration.
Understand, please, that I am speak
ing of tbe periodical, perennial revo
lutions, not the irregular outbreaks of
filibustered and conspirators. Tbe
ttj.ed summer revolution is, as I- said
before, an old established national in
stitution, like a festa, and any attempt
to do away with It would certainly
lead to trouble possibly to bloodshed."
Intensity of Sunlight.
In order to measure distances, sur
faces, volumes, time and force, stand
ard units were long ago found Indis
pensable.'and this is, of course, abso
lutely so in determining or measuring
the quantity of light in any luminous
body. This unit is the intensity of the
light of tue standard candle, which is a
sperm candle weighing one-sixth of a
pound and burning 120 grains an hour.
By this means It Is found by astron
omers that the Intensity of the sunlight
Is such that when the sun Is in the zen
ith it illuminates a white surface about
00,000 times as strongly as a standard
candle at a distance of thirty-nine Inch
es. Comparing, then, sunlight with that
of tbe full moon, the surprising result
Is arrived at that the former Is about
600,000 times that of the latter. Again,
the Interesting fact Is now established
that of all the different kinds of arti
ficial light that can he produced as yet
by man, tbe most tatenM to the bril
liant spot In tbo so-named crater or an
electric arc, but, -dazzllugly brilliant as
it Is, it Is but one-third as bright a tbe
surface of the sun Itself, . .

Although tobacco first became known
to the civilized world through tbe dis
covery of America, where-tho natives
cultivated and smoked It, yet about
two-thirds of the world's yearly prod

mated at 1,900,000,000 pounds, of which
America produces 650,000,000. Cuba,
whose tobacco is reckoned tbe finest of
all, produces only 62,000,000 pounds,
being far exceeded in respect to quan

' The common belief that steel and Iron
become brittle and more liable to break
when subjected to great cold is contra
dicted by , the results of experiments
made at Cornell University. It has been
shown there that the strength of steel

perature of 70 degrees Fahrenheit, and
that it Increases when the temperature
either rises or falls .from that point. At
500. degrees above zero and at 60 de

creased about 20 per' cent The elastic

In view of the rapid disappearance of
the herds of elephants which formerly
roamed In Africa, and the limited num
ber of those animals remaining In Asia,
Dr. It Lydekker calls attention to the
enormous supply of ivory which exists
in the frozen tundras of Siberia, and
which, he thinks, "will probably suffice
for the world's consumption for many
years to come." ' This ivory consists of
the tusks of the extinct species of ele
phant called mammoths. The tusks of
these animals Were of great size, and
are ; wonderfully abundant at some
places in Siberia, where the frost has
perfectly preserved them, and In many
cases has preserved the J flesh of the
animals also.: ';;';' . ; :'-' V---. Jx ." ; : '

HOW TO TRAVEL.
Information for the Public.
In selecting your route to the East
you cannot afford to overlook tbe ad
vantages and comforts offered by the
Rio Grande .Western Railway in con
ection with the Denver & Rio Orande
and Colorado Midland railroads. It is
the only transcontinental line passing
directly, through Salt Lake City, and
in addition to the glimpse it affords of
tbe Temple city, the Gr6at Salt Lake,
the salt palace, and the picturesque
Utah valley, it offers choice of six dis
tinct routes to the East and the most
magnificent ' scenery in the world. A
double daily train service and through
Pullman palace and ordinary sleeping
cars,' freesireclining chair cars and a
perfect dining car service are now in
operation via these lines.
For pamphlets ' descriptive of the
"Great Salt Lake Routed" apply to J.

DEAFNESS CANHOT BE CTKED
By local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
flamed condition ot the mucous limns of the
Eustachian Tnbe. When this tube gets in
flamed yon have a rumbling Bound or imper
fect hearing, and when it is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the inflamma
tion can be taken out end this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out ot ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed
condition of the mucous surfaces. '
We wilt give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deainess (caused by catarrh) that can
not be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send lor
