A feature of the republican campaign In Allegheny county which la sure to arouse a great amount of Interest and en thuslasm, will be a mammoth parade and industrial demonstration, to be held in this city, on Saturday, October SI, Just three days previous to election day.

Plans for this great even have not yet fully ma- tured. In fact, it has only Just beecn suggested and this is the first announce ment, but the republican leaders of the i county are back ftha movement ana are determined to make It a success In every particular. It Is proposed to have a par ade which will be participated in by busi ness men, professional men, commercial men, mechanics and artisans of every class. There will be floats representing variouaXarms of business enterprises, uni formeaoraanlzatlons. bands of music, and city hall with a committee from the Union Veterans Patriotic league, to make arrangements for the old soldiers of this county to act as the escort for the visitor from Virginia, The affair will be entirely out of the ordinary tot this section and will tjoubtless attract wide attention.

Joseph Hanlon, of Baldwin township, who has been a member of the democratic county committee for 28 rears, baa resigned. At a meeting of representatives of the McKinley and Hobart Wheelmen's club held in common council chamber last night it was decided to hold the postponed parade in Allegheny, on Wednesday evening, October it W. C. Lyne, of 'Wilklnsburg, a life-long democrat, has decided that he will vote for Mai William McKinley for president. Mr.

Lyne's conversion is remarkable. He la an old Virginia democrat His people were confederates. His brother pulled up the first rebel flag at Richmond. Mr. Lyne now lives in Wilkinsburg, where he owns a large amount of real estate.

It is announced that he has retained Attorney Robert Snodgrass to represent blm in the hearing, which will be had In Harrlsburg some time during tne present week. i Muttnff onn torch 'everything else that goes to make a po adaptable: to evert metal. Prof. Wood Discover Sunstane Vsefnl (or Many Counterfeit. From th Philadelphia Prof.

Woods, a Washington chemist, ha discovered a substance which can be made to resemble any metal or marbhi In color and texture. It can he molded Into any form, takes a high polish, reproduce th pattern of th roughest stone or most delicate lace, 1 acid proof, imperishable, unbreakable and Is probably destined to bring aboout a revolution in art and architecture. The compound, which hai been the result of years of study, 1 a metalloid In its nature, and has been named protean pla8tio from it adaptability to every metal and atone with which it I brought in contact, and also from the innumerable uses to which it can be put. The astonish, tng change by which It will take on the texture of any substance is its greatest advantage, and it is by this means that it can be made to resemble gold, silver, copper, Iron, steel, brass, glass, granite, marble, onyx and numberUss other mineral. The laboratory In which ar kept many models of this new discovery is on one of the busiest street of the capital.

Scattered about the room are molds of the plastic in every form; here a cameo of gold, there a bas-relief of bronae, while on a long table Is arranged a collection of figure In erry known metal Iron and shining gold resting side by side with marble and mosaics of highest rolish. All of the objects are made of the same substance, th changes In its appearance and color being brought about by a ohem-leal formula which is known to the inventor alone. The plastic is a metalloid, as by Its nature it partakes of th nature of a metal. Prof. Woods, however, state that th base of this plastlo Is of very flntly pow-dered stone known as sttatlte, a variety of soapstone known to cotpmeree.

This, with ether elements, he places in a crucible and subjects to a heat of nearly 000 degrees, adding at pleasure the substance with which he varies bis formula to produce the different effects. This liquid, which Is about th consist, enev cf thin molasses, Is poured into a mold, and as soon as cooled I ready for market. By mixing a peculiar compound containing gold dust, the work will com out with a golden surface. It will be. not glided wood or marble, but a mital as hard as t-Vld, of the same color and possessing all the properties of the most pre.

clous of orr, exrant that It Is not quite so heavy. But It will not corrode and will last forever. With this golden metal, which is one. third cheaper than real gold, we could have our homes fashioned Info bowers of oriental luxury. Th houses of the future can be filled with gofrten Statues, ex-act copi' of ancient Grecian art, the table and service can glitter with yellow luster, and even the doors and window mav be made to seem parts of Aladdin' fuhtad palace.

The dainties lace will be reproduced on this golden surface with every fiber of tbe thread allowing Its fire outline as fine a hair; the bowls and the thousarda of utensils can be equal to the dishes of Midas of old. A Sightless Wheelvromnn. From the Chicago Tribune. Many persons who watched the bicyclist in Washington park yesterday no. tlced a young woman on a wheel, accompanied bv an escort who seemed mor than usually attentive.

Going down the drive be kept hold of ber handle tar, and people said to themselves, "she must be a bcKinner." When they came round that way ega'n he still bad hold of ber handle bur, though she pedaled away so vigorously that none could think her escort was doing more than steadying her. Home of the onlo't-ers began to think she certainly had need of a great deal of assistance, tut when thev looked mors closely next time sh passed they mivv that weis blind. There was nn mistaking ths fixed stare of those sightless eyes. Then everybody admired her escort for the care he took of her, and gloried with her In the pleasure she evidently took In her rather peculiar pleasure, PERSONALITIES. litical aemonsirauon interesting anu trunttvo Minv nf the ors-unisatlons.

Both side seem to feel confident that better success will attend to-day's meeting. The manufacturers held preliminary conference-, st which they settled on a list. If It unsatisfactory to the workers, President Hayes wlli retire with his committee and prepars a counter proposition. President Ralston, of the manufacturers' committee, when seen thla morning said the list hod not yet been prepared for consideration, but when it was, It would probably not differ much from the original proitosltlon of a I'O per cent. cut.

Trade was dull, he said, and there are no Indications of a revival. President Hayes deollned to talk on the probable results of the conference further than to express the opinion that a falls-factory settlement would be reached, H. C.

HINTS FOR STAMP COLLECTORS. Variety ol Tricks Practiced By Vn-ncrupnlon Person. From Harper' Round Table. The following are some of the varieties of tricks practiced by unscrupulous per sons: 1. Ordinary perforated stamps with ex ceptionally Wide margins have their per forations trimmed off.

and r.uch stamps are offered as rare imperforated stamps. ordinary perroraten etomps wun wme margins are rererforaled with the rare nerfnratlons. This In freoueiitlv done by means of an ordinary hand punch. 3. Where stamps are printed In the same color with slight changes in lettering, the rare varieties are maae by piecing.

For Instance, the 1 franc French Empire is made ny taking tne kii centimes, nam carmine, with the bottom lube! from the 1 franc of the republic. 4. Hicoiored stamps wun tne center re- verced, which are extremely rare, are made by cutting nut the center and reversing It on another conv of the same stamp. For Instants, the lHftfl United States 13-cent, X4-cent ana wi-cem nave been made by this process. R.

Bv chemical means the color Is changed. For Instance, the 10r blue of Brazil Is etiangeo into tne wr mac, ft Ktnmn which have, been canceled by pen and Ink have their cancellation marks removed by chemical means, and these stamps are then sold as usual. 7. Counterfeit cancellation are frequently made on genuine stamps which have been surcharged "reprint" or "specimen." 8. Counterfeit surcharges are extremely common.

They can be made on an ordinary printing press. V. False water-marks are sometimes made by printing the stamps with woodcuts, using a certain kind of oil. Or they are made by pressing the deslRn of the water-marks on the stamp and then removing a portion of the paper by rubbing with pumice-stone. 10.

Very rare stamps of which a portion has disappeared have had tilese portions added. AIN'T ON NO FOOL DELEGATION. Visiting Editor Meet a Colored Gen tleman With No Pronounced Ideas.

Regarding encores Mr. Herbert is most gracious and choose just the cleverest possible thorp.

That he has admirable soloists In the band was evidenced yesterday In the performance by Mr, Herbert I- Clark of a Chanson Amour of hi own composition.

The success of the free distribution of samples by the New York Biscuit company, at their stand at tne Exposition, has so pleased the manager of the firm that he has decided to continue the distribution scl lone as it meets with such unaualilied approval.

Senator Blackburn the Man Who Will Likely Send It. Washington, Oct.

report went the rounds here this morning that Senator Joe Blackburn, of Kentucky, had challenged Logan Carlisle, son of the secretary, and chief clerk of the treasury, to a duel. Carlisle said: "I have not received anv challenge to fight a duel. I think Blackburn will send me a challenge when 1 agree to meet tnat negro tne popo-orats want me to debate political Issues with." When Logan Carlisle announced In an Interview that be would bolt the Chicago ticket his colored messenger at the treas ury, one Moore, resigned, declaring he would not hold a position under a bolting demoorat. Last Saturday the Lakeland Democratic club, of which Moore Is a leading member, sent Carlisle a communi cation asaing mm to meet juoore in a joint A few davs orevlous Senator Blackburn had challenged Secretary Carlisle to meet him In Joint debate, a challenge which the secretary declined. Young Carlisle, In his reply to the Lakeland club's communication, referred to the colored man Moors and Blackburn as the leading champions of the popocrat organization, and Intimated that the former messenger was a more creditable person to meet debate than the senator.

Blackburn has failed to keep four appointments to speak In Kentucky since last Saturday, and he cannot be located. The bitter feeling between the Carllales and Blackburn grows out of personal attacks, which Blackburn nas made on tne secretary in tne Kentucky campaign. The belief here is that young Carlisle will get an opportunity to decline a challenge to fight a duel If he has not already received one. DEMOCRATIC HANDBOOK.

The association la composed of several committee which have certain duties to perform. At th annual sessions these committee report and a general discussion ensues.

Among the Important committees to report at the coming meeting Is the subcommittee on rules and regulation. A little over two weeks ago this committee met in Pittsburg and formulated their report which will be read before the New York meeting and finally adopted, probably with some modifications. Since the foundation of the association much good has resulted to the several railroads represented. An Interchange of Ideas has much improved the running many roads and all connected speak in highest praise of the benefits of the association. This evening General Manager L.

From the way railroads are placing orders for new rolling stock, both cars and engine, it would seem that business was on the up-grade. The Lake Shore has Just placed an order with the Schenectady locomotive works for 10 10-wheel locomotives of the simple type.

Philadelphia, Oct 8. A close traffic ar rangement between the Grand Trunk and Lehigh Valley railway companies will go into effect October 18, by which all the Grand Trunk train to and from the east will go through Buffalo.

The change is Important, and means that when spring opens the alliance between the two railroads will bring about an increase In train service between Chicago and New York and a shortening In the running schedule. The Lehigh Valley's black diamond spe- tiBi, uiBiona oi running rrom wew rorK to Buffalo, will run through to Chicago. This Intention on the nart nf th nranit Trunk to help the Lehigh Valley with a iai riieuuie may result, it is said, In the decision on the nart of the vnWhnt lines to put on the long-promised 24-hour irain Deiween tjnicago and the Atlantic. All New York trains of the Grand Trunk system have heretofore run to Suspension Bridge, and thence by way of Tonawanda to Batavla Junction. When the branch rrom xonawanoa to uepew goes into operation trains will be run direct to Buffalo, thus creating a new line of competition for travel between Chicago and Buffalo, AGRICULTURAL WORK Cannes Speculation a to It L'se on Bntler Street.
