CONGRESSMAN HOLMAN.

His Removal of Dufour-How tho Ohject0r
Keeps His Relatives in Office.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, JAM 19.-Much comment has
been made in departmental circles during the past
four or five days about the summary removal Of
one Joseph NJ Dufour. 50, 600 clerk in the In
ascertained. upon charges made by Mr.. Holman,
of Indiana, of offensive partisanship, his crime
consisting of the delivery of two or three Re-
publican speeches during the last campaign in
Indiana. 1t has been ascertained since this re-
moval that Mr.. Holman has a nephew, or some
other near relative, who is a bachelor and en-
ployed in the Interior Department at 81, 800
year. He is stanch Republican, and, it is
said, was assisted by Mr.. Holman in securing
and holding his place under Republican admins
trations by the congressional influence ef the
latter 1t has been remarked that if Judge Hol-
man is sincere in his demand for the removal of
Republicans he will ask for the removal of this
relative. Mr.. Holman also has sou who has
been kept in federal service here and at different
places in the country for q number of years
by his fathers influence During Repub-
lican administrations. running back into Hayes'g
time, this son, who is referred to in official cir
cles as an incompetent, has held position more
or less Slnecure. The father VINO mas oeen SO
clamorous for the removal Of Republicans seems
not to observe the Inconsistency of keeping a
son in place while Republicans are going out
upon his demand.
There has been here for some time DIR.
Woollen. prominent Democrat of the district
represented by Mr.. Holman. and he has been
seeker for an appointment. DR.. Woollen, it is
said. came very near defeating Mr.. Holman for
denomination in the last convention, and for
that reason Mr. Holman has been very anxious
to get him out of the way. Speaking of his
prospects for an appointment DIR. Woollen is
quoted as having said that he was Endorsed by
the whole Indiana delegation for position. and
would doubtless get one without the influence Of
Mr.. Holman, but that the latter would have to
do all that he could for him. whether he wanted
to or not. Mr.. Holman seems to be having q
pretty tough tirne of it NOWADAYS.

Social Life at Washington, and the Strain It
Imposes on Its Devotees.

Social Life at Washington, and the Strain It
Imposes on Its Devotees.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-It is especially a sad
feature in the death of Miss Bayard, daughter
of the Secretary of State. that so many social
duties devolved upon her. She was frail lady
in form, but was ambitious, and in her zeal to
keep up the position the family by custom
stand True, Miss Bayard was twenty-six years
of age, and had fully matured in mental and
physical powers but she ovcrreached her
strength. What adds another severe pang to the
sorrow of the family is the fact that she had
been in such whrl of social affairs for weeks,
had been prominent figure in very gay event
in her own home, retired at 2 A. NJ, worn out by
excitement, and when a member of the house,
hold went to her twelve hours later to
assist her in arranging for continuance Of tho
excitement, she was found dead!
Since the first cloud that settled over this
stricken family has cleared away society ladies'
of Washington have begun to make calculation
of the probable result of their social festivities
They have concluded that they and have
long been overriding the thing The society lady
or washington mas TOO many duties TO perform
to meet the requirements of custom. During
nearly half of the year she is on her feet most
of the time five days and nights week. The
excitement is intense, the nervous tension more
than the construction of the human form con-
templated. Then, the present mode of dress
does not conform to comfort. Despite the
ordinary precautions taken, the fashions do not
make it possible for one to observe the necessary
care of health.
There has for many years been an nordirate
ambition cultivated by the ladies of Washington
to excel. one the other, in attending and giving
the most society events. Health and home are
lost sight of when the victim plunges into this
vortex, and it il remarkable if that one with
stands the ordeal more than couple of seasons
II it be true that the charming and beloved
Miss Bayard-she whom all recognized
jewel in every station of life-overtaxed her
strength by obedience to social commands, her
untmely death should demand a revision OF the
customs If the position her father occupies in
official life makes such demands upon the mem
bers of his household as to impair the health Of
its members. then custom is at fault and should
be amended.
However this may all be- the oldest partici-
pants in society here do not believe any death,
any melancholy event. will bring about reform.
They say people take up their residence here
during the society season for the charms it
bears. and that society is much of the national
capital as politics or business. and that all are

A NOVEL MACHINE.
A New York Stenographer Invents Type
Setting and Correcting Machine.

New YoRK. Jan. ia novel machine. which
is intended not only to set type automatically.
but to correct all errors before the type is set,
has been invented by stenographer of this
city, and patents have been issued to cover all
its vita. principles. The machines hitherto
made to set type have all had keyboard before
which the operator sat- and by touching the
keys caused the type to drop as wanted from
reservoirs through guiding tubes into the stick
or galley made to hold them, thus setting
the matter in one continuous line,
which an assistant broke up into short
lines to fit the newspaper column Or
book page, as desired. In the stenographer's
machine the operator prepares tape which is
run through machine which sets the type. In
preparing the tape the operator sits at key
board which can be arranged like the key board
of either of the common type-writers. When a
key representing letter is touched the act
punches three holes in line across the tape.
The three holes are always in line with each
other, but they are in different places on the
Ene according to the letter to be represented.
Every time letter is punched the tape is moved
along certain distance before another letter is
punched. This distance depends upon the width
of the letter. AS the tape runs out Of the
punching machine, an assistant measures it
on with rule, which is divided up in sec
word is to be divided line of holes representing
the hyphen is punched in between the two
sylabes, and then holes representing spaces are
changed until the rule shows that the line is ex-
actly spaced out Each type character has
reservoir, and the reservoirs are placed side by
eide. A series of pointers are arranged to sim
uitaneously fly at the bottom tape ia each reser
voir, but series of ten narrow, thin steel plates
intervene between the points and the type.
These plates have rows of little holes in them.
and under certain circumstances the holes get
into such position that of the pointers
passes through the plates and knocks type
oub of its reservoir. The type slides down a
chute and lands in the ''stckn that is
ready to receive ii. When the tape
passes on the plates and pointers return
unti another row of holes in the tape is reached,
and then the action is repeated AS the matter
TO be set Is corrected and spaced in the tape, the
type as set need only to be lifted into the col
nmn or page. The speed of the machine is
limited only by the rate at which the type can
drop into place. Correction can be made in
tape by a skilled operator moro rapidly than they
could be made in type BY compositor, and the
operation of punching the tape can, of course,
be done more rapidly than the type can be set
Dir. j. E. Munson, the inventor Of the machine
has also devised an attachment through which
the tape can be run, and by an electric current
reproduce itself at the other end of the wire.
In this way newspaper could be produced SIM
ultaDeously in any number of towns.

report that during last week over
four millions of dollars were with
drawn by depositors, who in most
cases were those who took the ac-
cumulations Of years for the pur-
pose of investing their hard-earned
money in stocks. While few are
bound to profit out of the mad ex-
element, their number will be few
as compared to those who will
never be satisfied until the last

gars on the street. The Com
stock mines long ago proved to be
valuless, and the present boom is
no doubt being manipulated by the
agents of Flood, Mackay, Fair and
others, who will rake in a few mil
lion dollars from the gudeeons that
so savagely bite at the seductive
bait thrown out. COmstock shares
are no longer sought as an invest
