Scotland, where for two or three generations
before him his ancestors had been miwrights
and were of mechanical talent. Young Scott
spent year at a school OF mechanical science
alter which he served a full apprenticeship ut
the machinist's trade. When twenty-five he
came to America and settled in Chicago. One
OF his first jobs was running an engine and doing
machine work in one OF the larger job Offices Of
the city. Thence he gravitated to the press
room Of the Daily Post. where a Bullock press
was just being set up, and where he began to
study the subject of web printing press. Then
in 1873 he undertook the charge of the presses
of the Inter Ocean, and here he perfected his
rotary folder, which he attached to the presses
in use in that office. His first patent was taken
out in 1875, since which he has received no less
than Is for different appliances in printing and
folding, and applications for several others are
still pending. The drawings for his combined
press and folder, such as this paper is now

A new phase has been put on the Corcoran
market square controversy. The residents Of
the vicinity and the dealers critcise the District
Commissioners because though they required

plea that the ground was needed for school pur-

myriad of market rats which have had their
homes in the sheds. being deprived of their
usual means of subsistence. have been obliged
to migrate to other quarters or starye. Houses
in the neighborhood. which have been ratless
for years, have become harb0rs of refuge for
fierce residents. Some of tie owners Of the
property originally opposed to the market re-
naming on the square. are now quite indignant
that the sheds are allowed to remain. and are
anxious that the authorities should pull the
sheds down. So savage have the rodents that
remain about the sheds become that il is almost
impossible for one to walk through them with
out being attacked by rats, even in daylight.

her as a packet between Bayou Sara

will como to some agreement with them.
She is very swift and staunch-thc very

extend their trade. We would suggest
that those interested hold q meeting
soon, to confer with the said owners.
