ST. LOUIS, MO-, Jan. IL, "a.
Editor SITTER: Dear Sir-Knowing
your subscription list is increasing rap
idly, and thinking you will soon want
the latest improved printing press, I
have been to see one.
This machine is about 20 feet long,
and wide enough to accommodate 6
feet of paper. A roll Of paper about 2
feet in diameter and & feet long is
hoisted into place with derrick,
These rolls of paper vary in weight
from 1000 to 100 pounds, and roll is
run through the machine in 25
minutes. While going through it is
printed on both sides, cut into sheets,
the sheets pasted together and folded
up, at the rate Of 526 papers a minute.
The paper goes through after the
manner of streak Of lightning, SO
fast you have to get quite near and ey-
anime closely for half minute, to tell
whetheriitis white or printed paper that
Is passing before your eyes.
You hear no clanking noise nor feel
anyi jar, but you do hear a buz, equal to
40 bushels of humble bees, and you have
to speak loud to be understood.
The folding part of the machine occu-
pies some three feet at the tail. Am not
going to tell much about it, for
cannot, although l watched it for ten
minutes You simply see the ma
chinery going like buz-saw you see
the paper going in like lightning; you
see the folded papers coming out as fast
as two men can remove them.
| The printing is done by stereotype
plates fastened to cylinder about Is
inches in diameter. The inking-rollers
are as numerous as raindrops in a
shower. The edge of a wheel runs in
the post reservoir and touches the
paper.
Now here is where the beautiful
points Of the machine come in. II
more than an s page paper is wanted,
put in more rolls of paper and more
stereotype plates, and in the same time
a 10. II, IA. 16, IS, 20 or "a page edition,
all pasted together and folded, can be
produced. Think Of one machine

There might be several more good
points about the machine. / did not
remain to see. The thought struck
me l might slip and fall into it and

WOMAN LYNCHED
For Killing n Little Girl.

Col. John Carroll was brother-iu-law Of Mrs,
Cuddihee. The girl was employed IN work much
too heavy for her years, and was cruelty treated
Recently the child was found by n hunter
crouched in an insensible condition beside u
hay-stack, near Cuddihee's house. When mott
fed OF the fact, Cuddihee took the child home
She died a few hours later. Next day she WAS
buried by him, and the neighbors knew nothing
about the affair A post inortem showed that
the child had been terribly maltreated and
finally killed. The body showed sears, tho
limbs had been cut with knife, and fresh
bruises indicated murder Cuddihce, his wife
and brother-in-law were arrested. The same
night the husband and wife were taken out by
the vigilants and hanged. The work was qui-
city and neatly done. A part Of the vigilants
took Carroll in a buggy and followed different
direction, and threatened him with lynehing,
but IT was found that he WIS not at Cuddihee's
at the time of the merciless treatment of the
little girl. When Cuddihcc and wife were
taken from the hotel, two brothers and n
brother-in-law were present heavily armed, but
dared not defend them.

RUNNING HIGH KICK.

To the staid old New Highlander,
brought up under the religious train
ing of forty years ago, it would seem
most strange that Evangelical Moody
is thinking of putting up large
gymnasium at Mortified, and Jonathan
Edwards bones would rattle in his
grave over the very idea of Young
Mems Christian Association holding
public sparring exhibitions. and in
some instances the throng of atten-
dents being so large as to force the
management to turn many away.
Yet all this is weekly practised in our
cities and larger places. The follow
ing is clipped from last Sundays Boston
Herald:
1.-THE association exhibition on Tues
day evening promises to be very in
teresting affair. The opening event
will be the dumb-bell drill, which will
be followed by the competitive events
for silver first and second medals
standing high jump. putting the shot
putting heavy bells, running high kick
Then will follow fancy gymnastics
with the Milo brothers, three in nun.
Der, in tumbling and the pyramid
ladder act. No more spectators will
be admitted than can be seated.
1.-THE introduction of sparring in the
winter meeting of the Union Amateur
Athletic Association was a very happy
idea. A great stigma seems to have at,
tached to this excellent branch Of
physical culture on account of It's adop.
tion, almost entirely, by professionals
The art of self-defence has been COM
paratively neglected by that portion OF
society which ought to have taken il
up. 1t will be the endeavor of the
committee to select a class of entries
that will give scientific exhibition
and that will not attempt smuggling
or knocking out" That the interest
in sparring is very great need only be
substantiated by the recital of the fact
that six clergymen of this city have
adopted it as a beneficial form of de.
yelopment and exercise. The weights
will be light, middle, and probably
heavy. The correspondence elicitet
thus far indicates a large field Of
entries and the success Of the events
Whether this is a sign of real mora
progress Or not, is not the province o
the SITTER to answer, but is noted a
a growing custom of the times,

A DEMON


The murderer Schenk, arrested in Vienna, is
an American citizen. 1t is asserted that in 1865
he ran off to America, where he spent several
years Schenk has so far confessed only to the
murders of the servant girls, but he and his
brother and an aecomplice named Schloesarer
have murdered at least 20 persons. He ex-
cuscd himself by saying that he narcotized his
victims, and that they died without pain.
Schenk behaves in most cynical manner.
He plays chess in his cell and writes poetry of
a sentimental tone, There were frigh.ful
scenes at the police office. The relations Of the
murdered girls came to identity their things
found with Schenk. Many recognized Schenk
as Bratigam, who had been seen with their mis-
sing relatives. Schenk has a wife in Bohemia.
She expressed herself to an interviewer in most
tender terms concerning him. She said: " II
Schenk wants me, / will go Immediately to
Vienna to afford him consolation 1 have spent
with him many happy hours that win never
be forgotten" Frau Schenk is governess in n
wealthy family. Schenk has confessed that he
had planned FIVE murders just before his arrest,
expecting through them to obtain ESQ, 600, with
which he had intended to escape to America.
