The PrUaty Printing Press.

After careful Investigation, and
seeing it In operation on different
classes Of work, fr rom small cards tc
newspaper, we have purchased a
Prouty printing press. TO Country
printers we unhesitatingly and EN-
phaticalIy recommend it, costing
but one half the price of other
eountry cylinder presses, it per-
forms all the work required of them,
equally as well as any. It's con
struction is simple, and readily com
pretended by the average prin-
ter. To change from one class of
work to another, and secure good
results require no more skill, and is
40 more trouble than to do the same
on any of the standard jobhers,
The number three, which we use, is
large enough to print siX-column
quarto sheet at one impression. Its
weight is about 1900 pounds. ln
every part it is perfectly finished
machine, and gives promise of life
time durability. With the same
power its speed will equal any of
the high-priced country cylinder
presses. From coo 10 1000 i'm
pressions per hour is its capacity,
without the use of steam.
Messrs Walker Il Co, proplietors
aud manufactors, are now turning
out an average OF press each week,
at their shops in Madison, and are
unable to supply the demand, for
them. AS printers learn the merits
of the Prouty-tha for one-half the
money heretofore required cylin.
der press equal to any can be Sc
cured--the demand will increase,
until instead of one,a dozen per week
will be manufactured Soon ST., 200
and $500 presses will be 40 more
heard Of among country printers, to
purchase which Mt a risk Of bank.

Christian. For nearly half her life
she was a member Of the Primitive
Methodist church. For many years
previous to her death she was a

ing wife, and none can feel her
demise as he. She was buried on

greater degree now. Ali the north-and-south
streets running to tho South Parks are In
such q frfghtful condition that the parks
themselves and the outer boulevards are
practically inaccessible.
There is another. thing which all the
property-owners and residents along the line
Of Michigan avenue ought to agree to, and
which will greatly enhance the beauty Of the
new boulevard. This is to abolish all fences
along the front yards. The cost Of this will
be nil. The value of material in the de-
molIshed fences will In all cases Offset the
cost Of pulling them down and carting thetn
away. It is only by this means that
uniformity can Ire secured and protection
guaranteed against rickety or incongruous
fences. There will be no necessity for re-
tanning them. No cattle will be allowed OIL
the boulevard. The park policemen will
patrol 1t and protect the houses against en-
croachments Of all kinds The spaces in
front of the residences are usually small,
and the fences do not tnclose elaborate
gardens or vast lawns that REQUIRE protection
against invasion, Euclid avenue In the City
of CleTelund Is widely known as one OF the
most beautiful streets in the world, and we
believe that this impression is largely due to
tho fact that the eye is not offended from
space to space with irregular and disslmilar
fences. There are more fine residences on
Michigan avenue In this city than there are
Oil Euclid avenue in Cleveland, and in a few
years there will be fewer Of the small, frame
houses. Let the fences be torn down to
show the Improvements to advantage.

taken oatAs to administer certain public
trusts. But human nature in official circles
Is very much the same as in business circles,
only that there is usually more of it. II the
practice we have Il, SC 'ibed is sanctioned or
condoned in business relations. it cannot be
kept out Of official relations. For instance
an architect, anxious for n profitable job, will
not have any more compunchons about shar-
ing his commissions with man of "influ-
ence'' when the Job is public than when 1t is
private.
we think we have suggested what will be
recognized upon reflection as the basis Of
such transactions as that now undergoing in
vestigation. Perhaps it Is this, too, which
accounts for the apparent indifference with
which such transactions are regarded by the
public and the common Immunity they find
at the hands Of juries. At all events, such
an investigation as Is now going on will only
result, at the most, in additional exposure
of what is called corruption in public affairs
but tolerated In common business transac-
lions. It will not suggest n remedy, nor yet
make the practice Of " division and silence"
any more odious. It is the recital of an old
story,

THE NEW BOULEVARD,

Work seems to have been begun in earnest
on the improvement OF Michigan avenue
south OF Twelfth street as a part of the park
system. 1t is to ba hoped that it will be
pushed forward with all the expedition COM
patlble with thoroughness, and that some
means will be found for continuing the iu-
pro'ement north of Twelfth street. The EN-
oarrassnentin regard to the latter part of the
work consists in the fact that the cost must
be paid in part by the city for tho stretch Of
boulevard adjoining the Lake Park and in
the failure Of the Council to make the neces-
sary appropriation. The situation is such
that probably nothing can b. done with the
north end of the avenue, unless the property
owners who are to share the cost with the city
will temporarily advance the 1atter's portion
OF the money. They can better afford to do
TINS than to delay the improvement of
that portion Of the boulevard lying III front of
their houses The same necessity which
suggested the bouleyarding of Michigan
avenue In the first instance exists in still
