BE7IBWOFTHB EiBLiT DAYS OF
THE INDUSTRY.
Yte Oldest Existing Samples—Orlll
VForlc in the Ancient Cathedrals
T!ia t Is Still Appreciated—The Art
of the Early Locksmiths.
From Chambers' Journal.
Am ii the increased attention which has
of recent years been Riven to all branches
of iecoratlve art. that of the artistic treat,
ojent of iron ha* not escaped notice. The
blacksmith occupied an important position
among the craftsmen of the middle ages.
The insecurity of life and property, which
was one of the chief grievances of the times
made strength of material indispensable,
whether to guard the shrine of a saint, or to
proteot after a more homely fashion the
family chest or coffer. The strength and
durability of iron led to its use
for these defensive purposes from early
times. But the workman of the middle ages
was not content to allow strength and ugli
ness of form to go together, but contrived
t breathe a spirit of beauty into his designs
without sacrificing the use to which the
material was destined. Thus wrougnt iron
formed the object of much artistio work,
both in England and abroad. Until coal
came into general use, malleable iron was
produced direct from the ore with charcoal
by continuous working. Sussex was from
early times a chief seat of the iron Industry.
The earliest positive record of the trade
tnere is contained in a rant made by King
Henry IIL to the town of Lewes in 1268. by
which the inhabitants were empowered to
raise toll for the repair of the town walls
after the battle. Every cartload of iron
destined for sale which came from tbe
neighboring ‘weald’ was to pay 1 penny
toll, and every horse load of lion half that
sum. In 1290 a sum of money was paid to a
certain Master Henry of Lewes for the
ironwork to the monument of Henry 111.
jn Westminster Abbey, which reminds us
that talented smiths were brought often
from long distances for important works.
OLD SAMPLES IN ENOLAND.
In this country, perhaps the oldest exist
ing works in iron are hinges to dojrs,
strengthening bars, bandies, escutoheons,
lock plates, and the like. Even tbe nails
were things of beauty. Abroad, the mas
sive doors of the Cathedral of Notre Dame
de Paris offer a wonderful example of early
ironwork. Probably designed in tbs twelfth
century, the doors are nearly concealed
with tbeir decorations of tree's and birds,
dragons, and other grotesque beings.
The door in St. George’s
cbapel, Windsor, is about of the
same date. The grotesque knocker
on the sanctuary door of Durham cathedral,
wuioh bears a rather distant resemblance to
a lion, is said to be of the twelfth century.
The hollows for the ey s may have been
formerly Ailed with crystal or enamel; or,
ss it has been suggested, the open eyes may
have beeu contrived to emit light from
wi.liin the oburob, so as to guide the hap
less being seeking the sanctuary by night to
the welcome haven of safejy.
The door of the chapter house of York
cathedral is a good example of the work of
the thirteenth century. It consists of a
central stem, and several large scrolls with
diminutive leaves branching out in all
directions. Some chests in the same cathe
dral are also finely bound with decorative
hinges. O casioually hinges were gilt, and
not laid directly on the wood, but on skin or
scarlet felt. These elaborate fastenings,
however, fell into disuse in the fifteenth and
sixteenth oeuturios, when the woodwork of
doors became richly molded and carved.
The number of iron pieces on
a door furnished tbe French
dramatist Sedaine with the subject of ail
amusing scene io the play of the “Gage ire
Imprevue," brought out in 1768, in which a
marquis, one of the chief charaoters, bets
that he will enumerate all the bits of iron,
big and little, which are employed in the
construction of a door—such at lock, screws,
nuts, knobs, bars, bolts and so forth. He
succeeded iu naming them all exceot the
key, aud so eventually lost his bet. The old
process of repeatedly forging the iron gave
it a great tenacity aid ductility, whioh
modern iron, except of the finest quality,
does not possess.
ANCIEST IRON WORKING METHODS.
In early times the iron was not actually
made to melt, but wan separated out and
formed into a lump while iu a pasty condi
tion, when it was found to be sufficiently
free from carbon to be malleable without
further processes. It was then aocordi igly
brought under a heavy tilt-hammer,
worked by a cog-wheel and driven by
water power. Sheets of water in the Weald
of Sussex and in Kent owe their existence
to the manufacture of iron; while other
pools and ponds have been drained and
transformed into hop garde is or
osier bods. Corn mills, too, ofte i occupy
the sites where once the din of the
hammers resouuded. The iron was eventu
ally formed into bars by heating under tbe
hammer, aud then worked into the sizes re
quired by the smith. When this had been
done the artistic part of his work, Buch as
welding, stamping and chiseling, still re
mained. In the larger specimens of ancient
work some parts are additions entirely weld
ed, others are additions fastened at tbe ends
by bands welded across the groundwork.
Sheet iron, which had been introduced into
England by the fourteenth century, saved
much labor, and oould be elaborately dec
orated.
Italy In tbe middle ages led the way in
metal working as well as in other arts. In
bronze, the wmrk then produced has never
been equaled. During the thirteenth and
fourteenth centuries, wrought iron came
into general use for screens, for ohapels and
tombs, and gri ls for windows. The screen
around the tombs of tbe Seals family at
• orona Is composed of a kind of network of
tjuaterfoils, each filled up with a small lad
der (scala), in allusion to the family name.
Several churches in Florence and Siena
have magnificent screens of wrought iron.
One of the principal workers of Iron of this
period wns Nico.ilo Or ssi, who was taken
under the patronage of Lorenzo de Medici,
hand esticks, lanterns, cressets, and torch
hearers were produced In large numbers—
til of the most artistic designs, Grossi ex
ecuted four lanterns for the Strozzi palace
t Florence, which wore sot up in the year
1500; aud each oust 100 florins for
•orkmansbip alone. Another artist in iron
*as Cozzarelli, who flourished at the close
" 'be fifteenth century at Siena, and dis
j'nguished himself in designing superb lan
terns and torch holders.
IRON PULPITS IN SPAIN.
Spain also produced about the same period
®hch beautiful ironwork in the shape of
®Hded rails or balusters and friezes of
Pierced aud repousse work, the whole being
“'ten plated with silver. The use of metal
L°‘ Pulpits is probably confined to Spain,
ihsse are sometimes of bronze, but also of
rought Iron, as in a church at Zamora,
*"1 in that of San Gil at Burgos. Screens
ere also produced tn England of consider
able excellence, examples of which are
u r, se erected to Bishop West’s chapel at
to Edward IV.s tomb at Windsor,
made toward the close of tho fifteenth
b'ary. Iron tracery work, produced by
uttlng out patterns in plate and placing
I- 6 P ate over the other, gave richness of
Met by moans of the play of shadow, and
** employed in the construction of the
to Henry V'.'s tomb at Westminster.
~~, tne * r ‘ ll w °rk also exists in the oa-
Mralj Canterbury, Winchester and
■ urn-iter. Grills were much produced In
. * r,oe i where Ironwork attained to a high
of excellence. When Charles V.

“ The grills made tor tbe Palais de
Justice in Paris coat as much a* 200,000
livres. Amateur* took as much Interest in
these produots of th* forge as m paintings
or bronzes, so much so that a locksmith
named Gerard, who hed exe-uted an iron
canopy in 1769, put it on view for three
day 9 charging those who would inspeot It
3 livrea apiece. This oanopy was orig
inally intended for tbe church of Bte. Gen
evieve, but the prioe asked—so,ooo livres
proving too much, it was never erected
there.
ONE ROYAL LOCKSMITH.
The art of the locksmith was also greatly
appreciated in France, kings even taking
part in its practical details; like Louis
XVI., forgetting for a time the cares of
state In the construction of a lock. One of
t lecuriosities at Paris mentioned oy Gilbert
of Me! z in 1422 was a certain house In tbe
Rue Bourdonoals which possessed at many
locks as there are days in tbe year.
The lock to a coffer of fifteenth
century work has a representation of
the Last Judgment. Philip de Lorms
paid In 1557 to tbe mas er blacksmith, one
Matburiu Bon, as much as 6.011 livres for
works executed at Fountainebleau. Louis
XIII. amused himself with the art, not only
giving his locksmith a pension of 800 livres,
but even setting him apart a room in tbe
new chateau of St. Germain. In the
eighteenth century much fine work
was prod iced. Mercier. iu his Picture of
Paris, exclaims: “A locksmith among us
bat bee >me an artist—iron nas become as
supple as wood.”
Germany in the fifteenth century pro
duced much wrought iron work of a rather
special character, such as tbe grave crosses
and sepulohral monuments to be seen in tbe
cemeteries ot Nuremburg. Iron was also
employed for well i anoDies, such as that at
Antwerp attributed to Quentin Matsys.
Originally a blacksmith from Louvain, he
came to Antwerp to seek his fortune. There,
as the story goes, he fell in love with the
daughter of a painter, and, to propitiate the
daughter as well as her father, exouanged
tbe anvil for tbe painter’s palette; and be
fore his death in 1531 be was successful in
helping to raise the school of Antwerp to a
celebrity equal to that of tbe schools of
Bruges and Ghent.
Ironwork was extensively produced at
Augsburg—under tbe fostering care of the
Fugger family—taking the shape of brack
ets projecting from the walls, and grills
over fan lights or In a baloony. Grotesque
knoosers are alto oomtnon in Nuremburg.
Keys were sometimes elaborately deoorated,
and tbe part which is now a common ring
was once occupied by little figure* in full
relief with coats of arms and the like. The
French revolution was the causa of much
splendid ironwork being destroyed, when,
in 1793, certain provinces had to gather to
gether every available piece of iron to
transform into pikes and other weapons.
Much of th* ironwork of the Abbey of St.
Denis perished In tbis way; aud even in
England grills have been sold for old Iron
because they hid the sculptures In West
minister Abbey.
THE GRILL WORK OF TO-DAY.
The greater part of the decoration of
grills of the present day is produced by
means of stamps or molds, which are Im
pressed on the iron while heated and soft.
Supposing a leaf or flower is required, oue
of the proper form is forged in relief in
steel and then is driven into a larger block
of pasty steel shaped like a punch or wedge,
thus forming the stomp or die necessary for
the purpose of leoovation. Leaves, again,
can be hammered out and welded on sepa
rately. Up to the of Henry VIII. grills
were architectural in design, Q teen Eliza
b til’s tomb in the abbey forming one ot the
first instances of tbe uie of a border of natural
flowers— a t imb-rail of iron. The
roses were cut out of sheets of metal,
shaped on the edge qfsome instrument like
a vise, and then iixo'd on by brazing. To
make inscriptions, boles are first drilled and
then a very small keyhole saw inserted.
After the fire of L mdon, iron came largely
into use for building purposes, and very
fine work was produced In the reign of
William 111. A Frenchman named Tijon
published a book of designs in 1696 for tbe
use of the smiths, in whiph ap
peared the gates whioh were a little
later ordered by the King of Hamp
ton court, and exeouteil by Hunting
don Shaw, the talented smith,
under the general superintendence of Sir
Christopher Wren. The beautiful gates of
chiseled and polished iron now to be seen
In tbe Louvre are of this period, and were
executed from the designs of Daniel Marot,
architect to William 111. of England.
Wherever the old fashioned red brick
houses with their tiled roofs and quaint
dormer windows are to be seen, their iron
staircases, railings, and the like will proba
bly be found, as, for instance, in Lincoln’s
Inn Fields or Bloomsbury square aud in
many suburbs.
MORE CURIOUS TUAN BEAUTIFUL.
Cast iron is not so susceptible of artistio
treatment as the same material when ham
mered, and the old specimens which have
cooie down to us are, generally speaking,
more curious than Beautiful. Cast irou was
used for cannon—from tbe fourteenth
century—as well as for grave slabs, fire
dog* or andirons, flrebacks, and the like.
O ie Hrebaok preserved at Bruges is dated
1535, and has two figures 3 feet 6 inches
in bight as supporters to the shield with
which It is ornamented. A flreback at
Wadhur*t, in Sussex, was very elaborate,
haviog, beside the royal arms of Franco and
England quarterly with supporter*, the
Tudor badge of rose and crown, a crowned
shield and ten human figures with monkey
or dog-like faces, as well a couple of swords.
Many flrebacks have scriptural or classical
subjects; but one andiron that has been pre
served to us is deco"etei in a mure homely
fashion, having on its upper portion a figure
in the costume of the time of James I.,hold
ing a tobacco pipe in the right hand, and in
the left a jug or tankard—the first of which
deeorations would have pleased the royal
author of the “Counterblast.”
Buch are some of the various ways in
which Iron has beon treated deoorativety
from early times, which perhaps may prove
not uninteresting at the present dav, when
wrought iron oners so largely into the
ornamaatation of houses, whether for
grills, fanlights, balusters and screens, or
for the pretty lamp stands aid bracelets,
in which a return has been made to early
Italian workmanship.
LENT IN WASHINGTON.
How Fair Members of Congressional
Delegations Pass Their Time.
From the New York Recorder.
Washington, March 26.—During tbe
Lenten debates on the tariff and silver the
galleries of the House have been packed
with the wives and daughters of the mem
bers. Especially bos this been the case
when silver has been up for d.scussion, and
at the critical points so pacxei have the re
served galleries beeu with interested women
that it has been almost impossible to ob
tain seats, and many women have come
early in the morning and remained all day
without leaving their places, for fear of
losing them entirely. Never before for
years have tho seats reserved, especially
for the family of the speaker been
so frequently ocoupied. Although Mrs.
Crisp has been iu continuous poor health,
she lias been in tbe gallery during tbe entire
silver debate, aud, as her mourning pre
cludes her going into society, she bas made
the House ner principal recreation. Bbe is
a very critical listener, and so is Mrs. Bland,
wife of the silver prophet. She it wrapped
up in her husband's plans, and whenever
his silver bill has been under fire sbe has
absorbed tbe discussion, and probably
there was no more disappointed audi
tor in tbe gallery when the anti
silver men threw the bill on to tbe cal
endar than Mrs. Bland. Sbe is a slight
woman, much Biaud’s Junior, tbe mother of
a large family of youog children, but at taa
tame time well posted on tbe free coinage
subject. While Hourke Cockran was talk
ing tho House deaf, Mrs. Cookran’s smiling
face looked down on him from tbe members’
gallery. Mrs. Mills’ wife of tho Texau

ingly while Mr. Hatch of Missouri quoted
from a speech of her husband’s and lauded
his oratory to toe clouds.
The most critical auditor Mr. Bryan of
Nebraska hod while he was talking himself
famous was a slender, pale-faced woman in
the gallery, whose Intelligent eye* scanned
the House to observe tbe effects of every
carefully polished sentence. She is bound
her husband shall be a successful man, and
at the same time it his most partial and im
partial critic. She has been admitted to
practice law in the distr ct and supreme
courts of Nebraska, and, though she ha*
never appeared alone, she has often assisted
her husband to prepare his oases and argu
ments. She is a firm believer in tbe power
of oratory and enjoys the House debates in
a critical way. She was on hand during
the silver row. .
Mrs. Julius Ctesar Burrows has been a
listener at many a silver bout, and when
Mr. Burrows led a filibustering card that
was almost as go< and as a trump Mrs. Bur
rows was in the gallery watching the result
Mrs. Harter and her pretty daughter were
present when Mr. Harter made a record as
tbe Congressional Shaker, and John De
Witt Warner had his wife for a critic. Mrs.
Bynum and Miss Maud, Mrs. Breckinridge
of Kentucky, Mrs. Judge Culberson of
Texas, Mr a Tom Johnson of Ohio, Mrs,
Green leaf of New York, handsome Mrs.
Fainter of Missouri, Mrs. Blauchard, Mrs.
Robinson and Mrs Fries of Louisiana,
were all close listeners, and many of tbem
spent the entire day at the Capitol, lunou
iug and dining there.
Two of the most interested listeners among
tbe women were Mrs. Wilmerding, Sec
retary Tracy’s daughter, ho spent the
greater portion of two days in the executive
gallery, and Lady Fauncefote, who spent
allot the most exciting day iu tbe diplomatic
gallery, and showed by tbe animation in her
face how very interesting she found Ameri
can politics. The arrangement* in the En
glish parliament for the convenience of lady
visitors are not such as to encourage their
attendance very frequently. Lady Paunoc
fote seemed to find the spoechmaking very
amusing and the excitement quite worth
watching.
SHE DELIGHTS IN ROMANCE.
In the Mountains Far From Home a
Teacher and Her Lover Marry.
Blue Earth City, Minn., March 27.
The mystery of the disappearance of Miss
Etta Mcßride, the lost Minnesota school
teacher, bids fair to be cleared up now.
Miss Moßride has been located at Lake
M ary K Fla. Copies of a Blue Earth City
paner containing an acoount of her abeence
followed her, and through them the was
suspected and finally identified by photo
graph a She is passing there as Elizabeth
Brown and is teaching sohooL F. W. Lam
berton will start for her once.
Miss Mcßride, as some will remember,
left her home in Minnesota in July and
went to Burlington, Vt., for the benefit ot
her health. She remained there until a few
months ago, when she went south to
Charleston, where she wassuoposed to have
died. A search, instituted by her brother
in-law Lamberton, failed to discover her
whereabouts, though it developed beyond
question that she was not dead.
Since Mr. Lamberton returned the police
authorities have been searching for Miss
Mcßride. First she was located at Mount
Pleasant, S. C.
Auotber story is that a few days after she
had disappeared Mias Moßride went to Oak
ley, S. C., where, in company with a young
mail, she bought a horse, borrowed a buggy
and went into the country. From the e
they made their way to Mount Pleasant,
and it has been supposed that there was a
romantic marriage. Then she was lost
sight of again, and has only just turned up
in Florida as Elizabeth Brown.
THE HUMAN OS 1 RICH DEAD,
He Wes Full of racks and Broken
Glass.
St. Louis, Mo., Maroh 27.—Joseph Ken
nedy, the "human ostrich" of dime rr useum
fame, died at the city hospital Friday night,
the immediate result of the operation of
laparatomy.
Kennedy swallowed tacks, nails, screws
and other small hardware for the edifica
tion ot admiring audiences, and he iwal
lowed a few pounds too much. Yesterday
a post mortem examination was held and
the results were astonishing.
Shortly before his de ith last night Ken
nedy stated that the Bellevue Medical Col
lege of New York had offered him 15,000
for his body, believing that the post mertem
examination would reveal some a tonisning
abnormal state of the stomach.
On the contrary, the stomach, its walls
and lining were found entirely normal, 4>ut
literally filled with the nails, soiewn, tacks
and uroken glass which the man had swal
lo wed.
A remarkable feature of their presence
was the fact that none of tbe n were en
cysted, and that there was not one instance
of perforation of any part of the stomach
or throat by tbe sharp points or edges of
these substa ces.
But beginning from the base of the tongue
back to the oesophagus, aud from there en
tirely down into the stomach, the nails,
tacks, glass, etc., were found.
DENIKS A CORDAGE COMBINE.
President Cole of tbe Michigan Alli
ance Knows of No Collusion.
Lansing, Mich., March 27.—Arthur E.
Cole, president of the state farmers’ alli
ance, with other alliance leaders, has beeu
repeatedly charged by newspapers in various
sections of the country with having aided in
formation of the National Union Company,
the co-operative commercial department of
the alliance, in the interest of tbe National
Cordage Company, by whom their expenses
were alleged to have been paid. Mr. Cole
denies the charge, ana says:
“I have no reason to believe that now or
at any previous time the National Cordage
Trust and the National Union Company
have had any business relations. They are
separate and and stmet ooncerus. It is true
shat some men who own stock In the
National Cordage Company also own stock
in the National Union, and I beliove, too,
that men who own Btock in national banks
are also stockholders in the National Union
Company. My experience is that when I
want money I have to go to the men who
have it.”

Dexter, Mo., March 27. —Joe Myrick
shot and instantly killed Thomas Edwards
at Minis' mill, ten miles southwest of this
place, early Friday morning. Edwards,
who was a tough, got drunk and went to
tbe home of old man Sims, Myrick’s grand
father, whereMyri k wasstayin*, and bally
abu-ed the whole family. He drew his guri
on them and made Mr. and Mrs. Sims dance,
pray, etc. Mvrick was not in a conditiou
to defend bimself, so submitted, but this
morning ho took nis gun and went to where
Edwards was. Edwa'ds started to run,
when Myrick shot him, emptying a load of
buckshot in the back of bis bead. Myrick
is under arrest, and will have a preliminary
trial at Bernie to-morrow.
