EVER SINCE the sewing machine was invented
many attempts have been made to construct a
6rst-class machine that could be cold at rea-
sonable price. To the Mclean & Hooper and to
the Wilson Sewing Machine companies belongs
the credit OF having succeeded in attaining this
object. The Mclean Hooper Company has pro-
duced q machine which sews directly from two
spools, forms the elastic lock-stitch, and runs
lighter than any other machine using TWO
threads. The Wilson Shuttle Machine bears the
palm of excellence as first-class tailoring ma
chine, being more durable in construction and
better in the arrangement of its working parts,
thereby producing lighter running and more
easily managed shuttle machine than any OF its
competitors. Price list:-McJean s. Hooper
machines, go, si5, $50 and SO; Wilson's $40,
S45, $50, $40, s105 and s125. A. q l. Rosen-

Adjournment Of Ohio Legislature.

EEOA Slht NAG1teSs
The Ohio Legislature, after a session Of
1el days, adjourned, yesterday, without
day. This body was elected in 1860,
The most significant act, politically,
was the adoption otthe 18th Amendment.
The relOrmers elected from Hamilton
county held the balance Of power, and
there was therefore very litdc purely
partisan legislation. Upon the 18th
Amendment nearly all the Republicans
on the Hamilton County ticket voted yea,
and thus is adoption was secured. These
Republicans were elected as such, ap.d In
voting for the amendment they violated
no pledges, and only proved that when
accepting a position voluntarily rendered,
on ticket supported mainly by Demo
Gratis, they made 10 change in principle.
There has undoubtedly been much
more leg6lation than was necessary, but
upon the whole the laws passed are in the
direction OF economy, and viii tend TO q
reduction Of local trxGtion. For this 4
deserves thethanks Of the people.
