AS TO SPRING BoNNETs AND THINGS.
The business reporter of the Journal dropped
in upon Griffith Brothers, the leading wholesale
millinery house. yesterday.
$50 you want to write us up, business outlook
and all that sort of thing" said one Of the firm
I'VE feel very comfortable, thank you, and so
do the boys about here, l hope, as in the MILL
merry business this is our holiday-our regular
annual picnic
The reporter asked as to what would be the
spring styles.
Its too early to talk about them If the
season is forward our trade will open the latter
part of February or the first of March. Nobody
can tell what the fashions will be. The fashions,
of course come from Paris, but the importers
and our French friends have not yet had their
heads together Importers are now about going
over When they get to Paris very wise consul
tations will be held Views will be interchanged
Then the styles will be invented with the domi-
mating colors, and all that They will be French,
modified by American ideas to suit the Ameri-
can market. After all this has been done our
spring goods will begin to arrive and Griffith
brothers, as heretofore, can be counted upon to
have the latest and brightest and freshest of the
prevailing novelties"

the members of this ngestablished house. do
it without taffy-merely straightforward bust
ness notice. We have been in the wholesale
boot and shoe trade in this city over quarter
of century, our first location. in 1859, having
been on West Washington street, in the old
Blake Block. It was wholesale business from
the beginning, though the first jobbing trade was
exceedingly small. This house was among the
frstto remove to South Meridian street, when it
began to be transformed into a wholesale street
think about the only wholesale house on the
street preceding was that of Capt. Michael
Fitzgibbon. at the northeast of this street
and the Union tracks. 1t may be said of the
wholesale shoe trade of this city that it has al
ways held the reputation of selling honest and
reliable goods, the product of the best manu-
facturers in the country being required here. As
a consequence, Indianapolis has maintained a
firm hold upon it's Wholesale shoe trade and is in
vigorous competition with all the great cities
surrounding US"
SINKER, DAVIS & co.
This firm has made new departure in -four
mill machinery, having recently purchased the
right to manufacture the celebrated Allfree Roll
er Mill In the construction of this roll it has
been the object of the manufacturer to produce
machine free from the objections found in all
other roller mills now manufactured
Among the improvements is perfect automatic
vibratory feed, the roll adjustments so arranged
that there can be no lost motion, thereby avoid
ing tremor 1t also has ball and locket or uni
versal journals attached to all roll bearings
Sinker, Davis d Co.. in presenting this new
roll to the milling public, do so with the belief
that careful study of its construction will dem
onstrate to any practical miller that it contains
apt of
other roller mill.
STEAM ENGINE ECONOMY.
When business is booming and money is
needless and Indifferent as to their fuel bills.
but in these days of depression and small profits
it becomes matter of more Importance. and the
steam user finds that it requires about the same
amount of fuel to supply his engine as in former
times when he was doing double the amount of
work This may be due to faulty first construe-
ton, diminished effectiveness from wear and
neglect, or from the engine being underloaded
There is probably no condition so destructive TO
good economy cylinder too large for the
work required Of it, Under such con
dtions the cylinder becomes huge con,
denser by extracting the heat from the
steam, lowering the temperature and producing
internal CONDENSATION. Inc success OF Mr.. Cor
liss was largely due to his knowledge of the evil
effects of understanding for while he was always
willing to guarantee results, he would never al
low his customer to dictate the size of the cylin-
der to be used. 1t is a well-estabshed fact that
the power of an engine does not depend wholly
on tine size of the cylinder. any more than the
size of horse denotes his speed or the load he
can pull The most economical results attained
by modern engineering have been by using the
steam hot getting it into the cylinder at boiler
pressure, maintaining that pressure as nearly as
possible to the point of cutoff, and in doing
it quick. To properly maintain these conditions
