For each edition OF THE STAR two plates are taken

either 1ourpa9e or an eight-page paper can be
printed When 1t Is Necessary to print an eight
page paper as Is the to-day, the type cylinders
contain eight pages. and they are arragned in a
singular manner. Side by side, in a row around
one end OF the cylinder, pages 4, ;, 2 and Z are
fastened the columns running lengthwise or par
ael with the axis OF revolution. Around the other
END are placed duplicate plates OF the same pages
the heads all pointing the same way. After
receiving the impression from this cylinder
the paper IS carried to the second type
cylinder. To this are attached in the same
way two sets Of plates OF the other four

The weDperfecting press IS so called because the
papers are printed from "web" or endless roll OF
paper placed over the press, as seen in the cut in
stead OF blank sheets cut to size and fed in by
hand. as in the case Of THE STAR two years ago. be
fore it had built for its Use the web-perfecting
presses Paper before it is run through the press
must be dampcned. otherwise IL will not take a
good impression. The motStenng process must
first be gone through with. An iron bar IS run
through the core the roll is suspended as to re-
VOlve freely. at one end OF damprnng machine
and the end OF the ribbon Of paper Is attached to a
core and axle at the other. The machine is set in
motion by steam power, ana as the roll IS unwOund
from one bar and rewOund upon the other it passes
over a dampening cylinder. The web is then lifted
from the Wettng frame by movable hosting ap-
paratus and run directly to It's place over the press
and one end is allowed to drop down between the
iron jaws that are waiting to receive It.

impression OF the type is transferred to curved
metal plates OF the exact rIc Su1eS OF the form to

together. The impression is made by forcing the
paper on 70 the type by beating with a brush. The

THE AGE OF SLAMS.
How Chicago Furriers Rent Seal Skin
Sac4ues Out by the Season.

'Is 1t true" asked Chicago reporter the
other day OF leading furrier of that city, THAT
seal skin sacques are rented out by the season."
1T is true" replied the lurrier, 'tOo true and
| it is nuring the tur trade. What with the mild
weather and the new system of renting out
sacqueS and sets, it will not surprise me if sey-
eral of us are not compelled to go into another
branch of trade before the opening of spring
navigation"
"When did the fur renting business begin?"
''Well, it is difficult to say. You see business
OF all kinds has been undergoing demoralizing
change TOR some years past. Merchants stoop
to things now that they would not think of
doing ten years ago. Everything is conducted
! on the sham principle. Sham. why this is, by
all odds, the shamest age, if NAV coin the
word, that the world ever passed through. Go
| to reception and half the dresses and iewelry
worn by the ladies is rented for the occasion
Some OF our leading tailOrs do big business in
| the renting OF full dress suits to gentlemen at
rates running all the way frcm So to $15 a
night Married people who give dinners, and
talk glibly about their French cooks have the
eatables on the table sent up from the nearest
restaurant. and the neatly attired walters are
hired for that occasion only at the same eating
house. People who have friends come to visit them
from distance can rent handsomely furnished
house or flat for the time being, and make ar
rangementS with q convenient livery stable to
have our carriage sent around for an after
moons drive The silver ware on the table is in
all probability the property of a downtown
paWnbroker, and the sealskin sack which the
hostess wears may have been engaged for a
week, month. or season."
What do the sealskin sacques rent for?"
"Well, a new sacque will bring $50 for sea-
son OF three months. The next year it NAV
bring about the same rental, and from that time
on until it begins to look shabby its rental is
reduced about $40 every year. 1t is finally sold
for about $50"
"Do yon demand deposit of an amount equal
to the full value of the sacque?"
{" No, not always When we know the parties
to be respectable wetrust them with the sacques,
providing that they pay the rental in advance
and sign contract to make good any damage
which may occur to the property"
"DO you ever lose them?"
"yes. but not often. Sometimes we lose
track OF them for awhile, but they usually turn
up all right"
Isn't it cheaper in the long run to rent than
to buy"
Yes, really 1t is. Ladies are apt to become
tired OF sealskin sac1ue after two seasons.
They have only expended 800 or So whereas IL
they had bought the sacque in the first place
they would have been compelled to pay out from
S2OO to $500, and perhaps have gone without
sacque altogether. By renting sacque they
can have change every season. and they run no
risk Of having their furs moth-eaten in the sum-
mer. would rather rent sacque for my wife
than buy one"

Is transverse cut to divide the pages from the
roll, and the second a longitudinal cut to Sepa-
rate the duplicate pages. For the purpose OF
making the transverse cut the roll is conducted be
tween third pair OF cylinders. In one OF these.
along its whole length, Is n cutting knife. which
works into groove in the other and this blade
parts the paper into complete papers of four pages,
il single sheet STAR is to be issued. or into half
sheets OF four pages If the issue is dOubc-Sheet
edition. The sheets are now conducted by
series OF tapes to the collecting cylinder. at
which point the speed is increased and The sepa-
rated sheets break away from their companions
which follow them, and hurry on to the most curl
Gus device In the whole arrangement, which is
brought into play just before the oding process
begins. This device is for placing the two halves
of the eghtpage paper in position ready for fold
Ing. The first detached piece Of the printed paper,
which reaches the collecting cylinder. contains
eight pages OF The STAR, but not the eight which
make up the complete paper. on the upper side,
occupying half the breadth OF the web, are pages
3and 6, and end to end with them occupying the
other half, Is a duplicate impression OF the same
pages On the lower surface are pages and s. like
wise In duplicate. When this section of the web
arrives at the collecting cylinder, it is seized by
grppers and is whirled around the cylinder
Meantime the piece following 1t IS flying along
the tapes to Overtake 1t. This piece con-
tans duplicate impressions OF the other four
pageS-1 and on the upper side and ? and :
on the reverse With such nicely is the movement
timed, that just as the forward edge of the first
sheet shoots up around the cylinder, it meets the
edge OF the second sheet, and, one everything the
other, they pass on, the two halves of the paper
thus falling into their own proper position. Only
every other sheet is allowed to pass around the
cylinder, as the result of the depression from the
direct path is that when 1t comes UP and renews its
course it is Immediately underneath the sheet
which started next behind it. Here another cut is

made and the duplicate pages are separated, and
the papers are now ready for the folding machine
No sooner have the sheets left the knife which has
given the longitudinal cut, than they seized by
another set OF gripperS and carried over a small
"uding cylinder" it is called, and on in front
OF two rollers. AS the white margin between
pages and s (or pages and in single sheet
paper reaches these rollers, folding blade,
which has been lying fiat on the periphery Of the
cylinder, suddenly itself edge strikes the
white margin precisely in the middle and the fold
thus made is pushed between the rollers, which
draw the double sheets through and on tapes be-
low, which in turn carry them onward The
papers have not left the first set OF folding rollers
long before there is check in the speed by a stop
gauge This is only for an instant but In that time
another folding blade, placed at right angles to
another pair OF cylinders falls upon the paper and
forces 1t between the rollers These draw the paper
through in a similar way to the passage through
the first set OF rollers and 1t is thus given the trans
verse fold.
FIVE HUNDRED PAPERS A MINUTE.
Dropping from these rollers THE STAR issues at
one side OF the press at the rate OF 800 a minute,
folded with mathematical accuracy, more per-
fectly than by hand and faster than dozen men
could do the work. The class Of press to which THE
STARS new machine belongs is, as already stated,
by all comparison the fastest ever made In times
OF emergency, when the paper has been delayed or
when important news increases the demand, it can
run at a rate Of speed as high as 5000 an hour
The average speed viii, however, be about "a, 600
copies hour and If il is desired only to print
twopage sheet, $4,000 OF these can be flashed off In
the same time. Since Wednesday it has run at the
rate OF 1900 an hour. The cost Of this machine in
running order is S21 800.
THE STAR retains one OF its magnificent Scott
presses on which TIE WEEKLY STAR, as well as
part OF the large portion of the doube-sheet issues
are also printed.

Farewell to the Dude.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
The time has come for the departure of the
dude. He has had his little reign. has been
popular, ridiculed. backguarded and thrashed
He has been portrayed in books. on the stage,
and pictured in every Illustrated magazine or
newspaper in America. Odes have been written
about him. His tight trousers. tOcthpick shoes,
bell crowned hat, towering collars and short
coats have been written up and written down
until they have become famous. A change is
slowly taking place. The collar became lower for
time and then turned over at the edges in
front. The coat became longer, the hat more
like stovepipe in form and the boots broadened
at the toe. The dude, who was the acme of
fashion year ago. now proves to be in bad
form. He must change the fashion of his at
tire or be relegated to the rear ranks. The
drab colored coat which was the dudes special
glory and delight year ago, is now SO very
much out OF style that it must either be thrown
aside or dyed in anticipation of spring time.
No one can view the fall of the dude with any,
thing but satisfaction. or all the swells, he has
been the most nauseating. The old fashioned
fOp was creature of gorgeous plumage He
may have been effeminate and silly. but his at
tire was brilliant and his manner gentle The
swell who came later was high liver a good
fellow. and bustling, busy and happy man of
fashion. But the dude was q silly, simple.
negative. disagreeable, shy, reserved and stupid
creature. His parallel was never before seen In
the history Of the world.
