The November election in Colorado will
demonstrate whether the women want to
vote or not. Both the populists and re
publicans have nominated women for the
office of state superintendent of education.
The peace of Europe must be founded
on a good deal sounder basis than has
been supposed. Notwithstanding that a
heavy cannonading and a peninsula-jar
ring tread of armies have been going on
for more than a month at what has been
considered a danger point, there is as yet
no indication that the peace of Europe is
less firmly fixed than it was before the
war in Korea began.
Editor Rosewater of Omaha, a leading
republican, is going to make that “yellow
dog” howl before he quits He has taken
the stump against Mr. Majors, the repub
lican nominee for governor. In the course
of his speeches he reads from the Con
gressional Record an official report signed
by Thomas B. Reed, which shows that
Majors was convicted of forgery during
the period when he was trying to get to
congress as a representative from Ne
braska.
There appears to be the necessity for
an English investigating committee up in
the neighborhood of Rogers City, Mich.
Our dispatches of this morning tell the
reason why. A young Englishman, it
seems, furnished the provocation that
frequently leads to a lynching bee. This
is a case in which English investi
gators could take more than ordinary in
terest, because of the nationality and the
color of the culprit. And, furthermore,
the incident will impress upon the En
glish committeemen the fact that the sen
timent that prompts Iynchings does not
exist at the south solely.
Should the Emperor of China take the
management of the campaign into his
own hands additional interest would be
lent to the oriental war. The Mikado of
Japan is already actively at work di
recting his forces, and it seems that he is
meeting with very good success. The Chi
nese emperor seems to be an impatient,
opinionated young man—a kind of Will
iam II done in yellow—and it may be that
he possesses some military ability. At
any rate, the Chinese soldiers, who have
very little fear of death anyway, would
probably fight all the harder if they were
led by •‘the son of heaven.”
A Selma, Ala., special says a negro man
named Sam Johnson sold himself the
other day to Col. Stark Oliver for S6O,
and that Col. Oliver tied his purchase
with a plowline and led him home. That
the story is a fake, there is no room for
doubt. The wonder is that there are cor
respondents in the south who will con
coct such stories for a few cents each,
and that there are papers in the south
that will publish them for the sake of
making a bit of a sensation. It is an in
sult to the intelligence of readers to ask
them to believe that slavery exists in
Alabama to-day.
Three wealthy Chinamen who ran away
from home at the breaking out of hostili
ties with Japan, so as to avoid going into
the war, have been sent back to China
from Port Townsend. The penalty under
the Chinese law for such desertion is
death, and that penalty will be figura
tively visited upon the three fugitives
when they get back to China; that is,
they must die, but they will be permitted
to do it by proxy if they can hire any
body to take their places. And about
that there will be but little difficulty. In
China the lower classes have absolutely
no fear of death, and any wealthy person
condemned to death can procure a substi
tute upon the payment of a sum of money
to the substitute's family.
The person who fails to read the adver
tising columns these days misses much
solid mental pabulum as well as a sprink
ling of the spice of life. In the line of
olid arguments in favor of tariff reform
may be mentioned Mr. John Wanamaker’s
advertisements, offering blankets that
were So under the McKinley law for f,\. r >o
under tne now democratic law. In the
lighter vein may be mentioned one of
Pierre LorUlard’s -ads,” which reads;
"Dear Hill; 1 have troubles of my own. I
always find consolation in a pipe of
Ikirillard’s cut pltg. Yours, Mac." One
would suppose that Messrs. "Bill” Van
derbilt and McAllister would resent the
advertisers familiarity. But inasmuch
as Mr. Lorillard is "in their set,” it is
probably alltigut.
What Morton’s Nomination Means.
The nomination of Levi P. Morton for
governor by the Republican party of New
York occasioned no surprise. It was well
understood before the convention met
I that he would be the nominee. The party
! bosses favored his nomination, and he
I was acceptable to the great majority of
I the republican voters.
The nomination is a strong one. Mr.
Morton is very j-opular in New York, and
is a man of high character and consider
able ability. And, besides, be has a bar’l.
That fact is gratifying to those of the
party workers who believe in the potency
of money in elections, and who hope to
have the handling of the cash. Mr Mor
ton is a generous contributor to cam
paign funds, and it is fair to presume
that he will spend his money freely to se
cure the governorship.
It is well understood that Mr. Morton's
nomination means more than appears on
the surface. His friends purpose push
ing him for the presidential nomination
of his party if he should succeed in being
elected governor.
It has never been satisfactorily ex
plained why he was not renominated for
Vice President. He was as much en
titled to a renomination as President
Harrison, and there is good ground for
thinking he felt keenly the refusal of his
party to give him the same sort of an in
dorsement as was given Gen. Harrison.
He was not "turned down,” however, for
lack of merit, or because of any short
coming on his part. In fact,
he left the Vice Presidency
with the assurance from his party that
he deserved well of it. When President
Harrison was renominated the nomina
tion for Vice President was given to
Whitelaw Reid, because it was thought
that Mr. Reid’s newspaper, the New
York Tribune, would be used more
actively in the campaign if he were given
the second place on the presidential
ticket. It was also asserted that Gen.
Harrison preferred Mr. Reid to Mr. Mor
ton. It really looks as if Mr. Morton
were of much more importance with his
party now than Gen. Harrison is.
It is far from certain, however, that
Mr. Morton will be elected governor. It
has been fifteen years since the republi
cans of New York have elected a gover
nor. The last republican governor was
Mr. Cornell, who was elected in 1879.
The republicans this year are hopeful
of success. They think there is much dis
satisfaction in the ranks of the state de
mocracy, and they believe the revelations
in respect to the corruptness of the police
in New York city will greatly cripple
Tammany. They are united while the
democrats are to some extent divided.
However, there is plenty of time for
the democrats to get together. Much
will depend upon the kind of a state
ticket they nominate. If they put for
ward a strong and popular man for gov
ernor, the differences between the Cleve
land and Hill democrats will be
overlooked, the ranks of Tammany will
close up and the forces of democracy will
work together harmoniously and nothing
can prevent them from achieving a splen
did victory.
The Wool Market.
The firmness of the wool market since
wool was placed upon the free list has up
set the theories of the protectionists. In
1890 the republicans listened to such men
as Delano. Harpster and Lawrence and in
the McKinley tariff they raised the duty
on wool very greatly. They said in
creased duties would result in higher
prices for wool. Did prices advance?
They did not. They steadily declined.
The assertion is made that prices never
declined so much and so rapidly as under
the wool schedule of the McKinley tariff.
The decline was from 35 to 60 per cent.
The protectionists were mistaken. High
duties did not bring high prices.
On Aug. 28 all wools went on the free
list. Prices have advanced and are now
firm. The advance has been about 10 per
cent. The protectionists said free wool
would knock the bottom out of the prices
of wool. Again they were mistaken.
The market for domestic wool is now
firm. Under free wool the wool pro
ducers will be better off thap tttey were
under the McKinley tariff.
Senator Walsh’s Soesch.
It was expected that Senator Walsh’s
speech at the theater last night would be
a good one. His audience was not disap
pointed.
> Senator Walsh is one of Georgia's most
valuable citizens. His chief thought is
for her good. For years he has devoted
his best energies to her upbuilding. He
has spoken for her on every appropriate
occasion, and the best work of his pen has
beeu done in her behalf.
Since he has beeu in the Senate he has
done much to advertise Georgia •ana her
resources. His efforts have aided greatly
in drawing attention to her and to the ad
vantages she offers investors and home
seekers.
While we think Mr. Turner, for several
reasons, should be chosen senator, we are
free to say that if Senator Walsh should
be the choice of the legislature for that
office the state would have in him a very
earnest, faithful and capable servant.
The bagging trust is terribly wrought
up because it fears the new tariff will ad
versely affect the wages of its employes.
"It is with much sorrow.” says the
tender hearted trust, "that the employes
are notified that it will be impossible to
pay the present scale of wages.” A cut
in wages, it says, will go into effect about
Nov. 1. The trust, it will be remembered,
failed to consider its employes at all when
it was closing mills in order to squeeze
the last cent possible under McKtnleyism
out of the cotton planters. And at the
present time it fails to tell its employes
that it has virtual control of the Ameri
can market for the current season, not
withstanding bagging has been put on the
free list. Foreign manufacturers have
no stock on hand to offer, and it is too
late in the season for them to make
necessary changes in their machinery,
manufacture bagging, and send it to this
country for this year’s crop.
It is a little to be wondered at that the
news of a naval engagement between the
Chinese and Japanese forces should come
out so quickly through Chinese sources.
Heretofore the Chinese have had little or
nothing' to say about the war. From the
report, it appears that the contestants
"broke about even,” each side losing four
ships. Admiral Ting was in command of
the Chinese fleet. It may he that he had
the report sent out so as to show that he
can light belter without a peacock feather
than with one.
THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 2<>, 1894.
The Proposed Freight Bureau.
The statement of the freight rate dis
criminations under which Savannah
labors that was made by Capt. Purse in
an interview published in the Morning
News yesterday, must hare arrested the
attention of every business man of the
oity. It was a startling statement. The
conclusion to be drawn from it is that if
steps are not taken at once to have these
discriminations removed Savannah will
lose a portion of her trade.
This is not a matter to be talked of and
then dropped. The business men of thecity
must take hold of it earnestly and vigor
! ously. and must not cease their efforts
umil every discrimination against Savan
nah is removed.
Savannah's business men do not appear
to have been fully aware of those discrim
inations. and yet they are of a character
to greatly restrict Savannah's business.
In these days of fierce competition a
slight discrimination in freight rates
against a city is sufficient to turn trade
away from her. Savannah occupies a
very advantageous position, and if she is
placed upon an equal footing in the mat
ter of freights with the cities with which
she competes, she can greatly increase
the volume of her business.
It is impossible, of course, for the mer
chants to watch the rates closely. That
can be done only by someone especially
charged with that duty.
Savannah should have a freight bureau,
and it should have at the head of it a
practical railroad man of large expe
rience. He should be a man of fine ad
dress and tireless energy. It is not de
sired, of course, that he should be con
stantly at war with the railroads. The
understanding is that the railroads are
willing to correct irregularities and dis
criminations in freight rates when their
attention is called to them. A freight
bureau would, therefore, work in har
mony with the railroads, but the head of
the bureau would have to be a
man of sufficient acquaintance with
railroad matters to discover the discrimi
nations, and of sufficient firmness to in
duce the railroads to take notice of and
correct them.
The business men of this city are pretty
well advised of tbe purpose and advan
tages of a freight bureau, and are there
fore prepared to act with promptness and
wisdom at the meeting to-morrow that
has been called by the mayor and presi
dents of the trade bodies.
They Have Made a Mistake.
The sugar planters of Louisiana, in
severing their relations with the Demo
cratic party and joining the Republican
party, have made a mistake which they
will have cause to regret. They are
angry because they did not get, in the
Wilson tariff, all they asked for. They
have deserted their political friends and
gone to their political enemies, not be
cause they feel certain of getting more
liberal treatment in respect to sugar, but
because they want to punish their politi
cal friends. They would like to injure
the party which has done so much for
thorn and their state, because that party
refused to concede their full demands.
What do they expect in the way of
protection for sugar from the Republican
party? That party is committed prac
tically to free sugar. That being the case
the only thing it can give the sugar
growers is a bounty. Does anybody who
understands public feeling in respect to
bounties believe the bounty system will
ever again be adopted? The truth is, no
political party would dare favor a bounty
for sugar or anything else. It is about
as certain as anything can be that is not
fully settled that there will never again
be a sugar bounty.
How then will the sugar planters get
help from the Republican party? A num
ber of the western republican papers have
already stated that if the sugar planters
expect the Republican party to favor a
bounty for them, which tho producers of
other articles—wheat, corn, cotton, etc.,
would have to pay, they will be greatly
disappointed. The wheat and cotton
planters have a much harder
time to make both ends meet than the
sugar producers, and they will not con
sent to be taxed for their benefit.
If bounties are to be given they
will have their share of them.
With such sentiments existing through
out the country the Republican party
isn’t going to risk losing fifteen' or
twenty congressmen in the west for the
chance of gainiug two or three in Louis
iana.
The only chance the sugar planters
have - for getting any protection at all is
in the revenue principle of the Demo
cratic party. Sugar is a revenue article,
and therefore must be taxed for revenue.
The sugar planters are dealt with quite
liberally in the Wilson tariff. They
can produce sugar at a fair profit with
the protection which that tariff gives
that article. They want to make too
much. They must be satisfied with prof
its like those of the wheat aud cotton
farmers.
They should have the bounty for this
year, and the probabilities are they will
get it. It is certain, however, that the
sugar planters will gain nothing by going
to the Republican party.
Populist-in-Chief Watson, in addressing
the colored people in his audiences, lays
special stress upon the populist demand
for the abolition of the convict lease sys
tem. It seems to be his purpose to im
press the blacks with the idea that the
populists make that demand for the
especial benefit of the colored people, as
though none but colored people were ever
sent to the penitentiary. The bare sug
gestion is an insult to the race that should
be resented, if the people of the race have
any respect for themselves. As far as the
abolition of the convict lease system is con
cerned, the populists did not originate the
demand. It is a democratic demand, and
has been advocated by the Morning News
for years. The sentiment in favor of the
state assuming control of the convicts has
been worked up by democratic news
papers and individuals until it is a ques
tion of a short time only when the legis
ture will make the change. The demo
crats have not made of the proposed
abolition of the lease system a sop to be
thrown to the black voters; they have
advocated it from principle and for the
sake of humanity and the good of the
state.
The W. B. Allison presidential boom
has been launched. Ex-Gov. Gear of

CURRENT COMMENT.
Virginia Is All Risrht.
From the Richmond Dispatch (Dem.).
We do not believe fora moment that the
democrats of Virginia will ri.n oif after false
gods, 'ihe prospect of success in the tall
11 ;ctions grows Letter day by day. Let us
enter the battle without a doubt as to how it
will result.
The Nomination of Morton.
From Charleston News and Courier (Dem.).
Ex President Morton was unanimously
nominated by the repu. licuns yesterday for
gov srnor of Now York, on tie pi* nciple that
one of h.s legs is longer than it ready ought
to he,” and there is no millionaire among the
republicans who is more willing to pay mo:e
for campaign purposes than he. The contest
in New Yora his year appears to have nur
rowed down to the vile corruption of Tam
many and the resi>ecta le corruption of icm
P.att. Ihe pantata appears to be strong iu
both of the great political parties.
What McKinley Did for Wool.
F r im the lialtimoie Sun <Dom.).
The McKinley bill was more destructive to
the wool industry than an epidemic among
sheep vo dd have 1 een. When that laleful
law was put upon the statute books wool was
selling for 3d cents a pouud. before the law
was repealed, unwashed wool was selling at
15 to 17 cents, and tub-washed at 20. '1 his .s
what McKinley did for the wool industry.
'1 he reason is plain. Foreign wool is re
quired for admixture with American wool to
produce the best results. 'lhe McKinley bill
excluded foreign wool, and so decreased the
demand for American wool.
What Is the Republican Policy P
Frcm the New York Evening Post (Ind ).
What is the republican policy regarding
the tariff- Nobody can make out lrum the
party s speakers or organs. Ex-President
Harrison in his West \ irginiu speech the
other day, said that ’ if the people at the elec
tions this fall couden n the recent action on
the tariff tby voting the i pa llcan ticket) we
shall have an end of tur*a tiukerlngs. ’ In
the same line with thl i is the statement of
ex-Congiessinan t.rosvenor of < li o who
made repaid o;n speeches durii g the Maine
canvass, that ‘thousands of voter- hitherto
democrats voted the republican ticket under
the threat of future tariff agitation ’ On the
other hand. McKmlev insists that the new
taciff law must be repealed and the who.e
question reopi a 3d. Vv nich * it does a man
vote for tarltl agitation or against It when he
votes the republican ticket this fall?
Why Librettists Have Lost Heart
‘ Yes *aid the librettist to his friend of the
Chicago Record. “I’ve written the libretto for
that opera, and it's a good one. Some of the
lines I m really proud of. ’i hey've got point,
und the rhymes just farily jingle. Just lcok
at this .stanvafrom one of the songs."
And he offered his friend the following
verses to read:
There w as a jolly bachelor.
And. when he died one day.
He willed his money ?o some maids
Whe once had said him "Nay.”
And in his will he did explain
The best things of his life
He felt he owed to those who had
Refused to be his wife.
CHOKUS.
For a bachelor hilarious
Has pleasures sweet and various;
His ways may be precarious.
But he has lots of fun
He may show eccentricity
Or flirt with bold duplicity.
But he s bound to ha ve felicity
io long as shines the sun.
“And now." said the lihrett 8. “just come
to the theater to-night and hear those verses
sung. The lines, of course, gain m effect from
the staging and music and to^ium*. s
And the friend listened for these verses at
the theater, and this is what he heard:

Pathetic Incident of Hospital Life.
There is so much pathos in life that one
almost sees it at every turn of the eye, says
the Philadelphia Press. The other day the
writer dropped into a hospital and at once
poticed a little group, a sort of family gather
ing. in the far corner of one of the wards. The
father, a bright, brainy man of mercantile
li.e had met with au accident a year ago. His
skul. had been fractured severely, and it was
thought at first that he would not recover.
The physicians, however, labored very hard
ou the vase and the man had become so far
improved that he was a ou t to be taken from
f“ e . hospital. His pretty wife ami flaxen
haired and blue eyed thud had called *to see
1 im. us they had done daily for the weeks that
h:s life had been hanging by a thread.
On this day they found the husband and
father propped up in his t ed. His eye looke 1
■br.ght for the tirst time and the wife thought
the time of recognition ot her on his part had
arrived. He had failed to do so before.
James, are you ieeling better : the pretty
vtfe Inquired, as.she placed one of her ha ids
on his bandaged forehead. The patient looked
at ihe woman he had onoe loved so well with
a vacant stare, and then mumbled out some
inarticulate words.
"Don t you know me, dear, vour wife'”
cried the unfortunate woman, choking back
her sobs. Again the stare and inarticulate
words.
”Fap: Papa!'' cried the little child, “kiss
me. stretching oat her lit tie arms. But the
little one was received as her mother.
"Papa doea t love me any more." sobbed
the little one. as she placed her cuii r head in
her mother's lap. Tears roiled uown the
mother's cheeks as she kissed her child. She
made no reply. >he couldn't.
It was what the doctors had told her. Her
husband's life before the accident was a blank
to him He was nothing more than the babe
in the cradle. He would even have to be
taught how to speak, but the saddest of all
was the thought that the love he once pos
sessed for her and the child was dead.
Objected to His Pants.
The New York Tribune vot ches for the
fact that Mr. Lawrence W. Bickley is a mem
ber of tho New York .Stock Exchange. He is
known on the floor as a man with various
ideas on tne subject of dress, and his notions
of what a man ought to wear are ia : itobe
strange and curious. For the last te v weeks
he has appeared in a pair of white duck
pants." His fellow members on the ex
change call them pants, not trousers—proba
bly because they are so short. A man in
white dutk trousers which reach a point on
his legs somewhere between the knee and the
ankle is not considered in good form by the
New York Stock Exchange, and when a mem
ber persists in wearing such unsightly togs
something is apt to happen. Yesterday Mr
Bickley appeared on the floor as usual in his
white high- water "pants." and almost as soon
as lie was seen a few brokers made an active
canvass of the members, and see red enough
money to buy a pair of regulation white
trousers. A messenger went and tought
them, and then a self-appointed committee of
ten or twelve approached Mr. Bickley and
tried to persuade dim to remove his "pants”
and put on the trousers. He refused.
The comm ttee then feeling that the honor
of the exchange as a place for well-dressed
men, was at stake, and. remembering how
they recently threw into the street a member
who appeared on the Boor in his shirt sleeves,
made for Mr. Bickley and tried to put the
trousers on him right over tne "pants.” They
were about to succ* ed. when the chairman of
tli t exchange saw the commotion and called a
halt thus saving Mr. Bickley, who then made
his escape. Several brokers were fined for
the disorder, ’ihe trousers were sent by
messenger to Mr. Eickley's office, with a
note begging him to wear them in place of
his "pants."
Tho Sanitary Sin.
From the Referee.
The latest sensational scientific discovery
is the insanitary kiss. The British Melieal
Journal has a delightful discourse on "Kiss
ing as a Sanitary Sin:"
I met my modest Minnie by the windmill
in the trees;
V.'e walked among the lilies, those that
neiiher tod nor spin.
But a demon danced i etween us, and he
bawled above the breeze.
"You may love the little lady, her affections
you may win.
But Kissing is a Sanitary Sin.”
I married her one morning in the churchyard
down the lane.
Far-away from all the trouble and the tur
moil and the din.
Ere the eafth had made its journey round
the orb of dav again.
We and a baby girl; but never did we kiss our
little Min..
For Kissing is a Sanitary Sin.
Oh. we love each other dearly; but our lips
have never met.
Though her silver threads are coming, and
my thatch is growing thin.
To the act of osculation we have not de
sc ’nded yet.
For we know, since fell diseases such a
practice ushers in.
That Kissing is a Sanitary Sin.
If He Was Rightly Informed.
I heard a story the other day of that now
rare official, an old-fashioned clergyman, says
the ■ oston Herald. He is settled over no
church nut having been for a long time in
one parish he hus performed the marriage
ceremony for two generations, and baptized
as many, and is always asked either to tender
the last li es to the dead, or. at least, to as
sist In that solemn office.
He is always verv comforting to the mourn
ers fo~ the departed is sure of heaven. Hut
as he grew older, his prayers grew louver
and tiresome, i ne day the m ither of a little
family died suddenly, and the Lereaved hus
band sout for their regular minister, and
said:
"1 must invite old Dr. Blank, for he mar
ried us, and my wife loved him, but 1 can't
endure his remarks. I want you to give him
a small part of tho service to save his feel
ings.”
1 he pastor thought he must give his senior
the prayer, but judge ot bis chagrin when the
eld gentleman, alter a fulsome panegyric of
the deceased, said.
"And. O Lord, who will take the mother's
place with these dear little children, two of
them, if we arc rightly informed?”
He Was a Sawyer.

A well known Leeds banker possesses an
immense number of different bank notes, is
sued at various times by banks, that have
come to grievous smash and which have in
volved thousands of persons in their ruin,
says tbe Cornhill Magazine. Not alone are
bank notes included in this curious collection
of relics of broken banks. whAh must start a
world of painful reflections in a commercial
community—but also bonds relating to cele
brated undertakings which have proved
sources of immense loss to speculators, these
including ‘scrip" of the South sea bubbles,
of many of the schemes of Hudson, the rail
way king, aid of the Tiebborne uond enter
prise. So far as the bank notes are concerned,
it is astonishing to see what a large number
of establishments they refer to; and the
whole collection represents the names of
schemes which have drained the investing
public of hundred of millions sterling. The
collector relates that on several cu casions
visitors who have seen the collection have,
on comirg to some Darticular note, burst into
tears, for they have t een directly connected

Dairymen who are in the habit of diluting
their milk with water have found out an in
genious plan of circumventing the public
analysis, says the Loudon News Lnderthe
act of parliament they can request that their
milk shall be analyzed by the chemists at
Somerset house, and this they do now-. The.r
object is to gain a little time, for milk quickly
begins to ferment, and it is not possible to
test with accuracy a decomposed fluid and
say what it consisted of before decomposition
set in Dr. W.vnter Blyth instances a recent
jase of a dealer who sold miik diluted with at
least 8 per cent, of water. He appealed to
Somerset house, and alter a little delay Som
erset house declared that there was no evi
dence of the addition of water, so that the
case was dismissed That he had neverthe
less made no migtako in the matter Dr. Blyth
is certain, as the milk had been subjected to
an independent analysis by Mr. Colwell, who
agreed with him. The only way cut of the
difficulty would be for each sanitary author
ity to have a freezing charm er, in which
reference samples of milk. etc., could be
frozen and preserved, buch a chamber
would also be found useful for preserving
meat supposed to te diseased until the evi
dence on both sides could be heard by a court
of justice.
Jules Carle of Juneau. Alaska, is one of the
few men who are able to tell how it feels to te
buried alive from exoerience. He was living
at the time at New Westminster. B. C. One
morning he had gone into a restaurant and
ordered his breakrast, when all of a sudden
he fell dead. At least, that is wliat the doc
tors said of him, though he was conscious of
what was passing around him all the time.
He was laid out for buri il. and his friends
kept the usual vigil over him. he was
put into the coffin and borne to the
cemetery, all the time realizing the
terrible fate that was about to overtake
him. but unable by word or sign to do
anything to prevent it. He was lowered
into the grave, but happily, as the first clod
rattled on his coffin he oegan to feel the blood
pulsating at his heart and his powers returned
to him. He found that he coQld move liis
hands, and he began to hammer on the coffin
lid and call lor help. The startled pail-bear
ers stopped shoveling dirt into the crave
while the majority of those gathered at the
graveside fled away as for their lives He
called again and one courageous rriend
jumped into ihe grave, and unfastening the
coffin lid. Carle was taken out. feeling as well
as he ever did In his life. He ran about exer
cising his benumbed limbs. while the people
thought that they had witnessed a miracle.
Since the Introduction of typewriting ma
chines and their universal acceptance by the
business world, it has been the aim of inven
tors everywhere to produce a typewriter
capable of use on books of record and on in
surance policies and other large documents
of varying sizes, says the New York Sun. 'n
all the attempts that have been made to
bring about a practical machine of this
character, two o stai les have seemed in
superable, viz., intricacy and great expense.
Both of these barriers have now been over
come by J. M. Crary. an inventor of this city.
F'or upward of six years Mr. Crary has ex
pended all of his inventive ana mechanical
energyiand many thousands of dollars m per
fecting the typewriter, which is now being
manufactured and will soon be placed on the
market. Ills hrst patent on this machine
was issued on June 21. 1892. and a second
parent, securing complete protection, was
granted hut a few weeks ago. Only
three of these typewriters have thus
far been exhim’.ed. and one of these was seen
ly the reporter yesterday it tears but
slight resemi 1 race to any of the standard
typewriters m use, weighing but ten pounds
and being built on simple and compact linos.
The ke.v-poaid is desk-shaped and contains
80 celluloid keys, the arrangement of which
brings those keys striking vowels and other
much used letters and characters immedi
ately under the hands of the operator. A no
ticeable feature, also, is the ribbon attu h
tr.ent ,'or writing with ink of any desired color!
The removal of a black ribbon, for instance,
and the substitution of a red. purple or green
ribbon, is accomplished with both ease and
celerity. The machine will receive a cook of
any required width or thickness, will write a
line long 6r short, and is so devised that the
distance between lines may be scaled
to suit the amount of space at
hand or the fancy of the operator
In this new machine perfectly flat platens
seperate from the feed rollers, have been in
troduced, and where several copies of any
manuscript are required, a platen made of
brass is used. This gives a hard, unyielding
surface for the type to strike against aud
the last copy of a dozen or fifteen is as plain
as the first. If but one copy is to be made
the turn of a thumb screw substitutes a hard
ruoter platen suita ie for the purpose. Thus
while this is essentially a book-writing ma
chine, its scope of utility includes the work
done by all otner typewriters in general, and
a single sheet of note paper seems quite as
much at home between its rollers as a double
entiy ledger. The price at which this new
dev.c.e will te offered for sale has not yet
been uelermined upon, but it is certain to
considerably undercut the tioo mark on other
first-class typewriters, and may profitably be
sold for half this price.
