THE WEBSTER STATUE.

tPhotographed by W. g. c. Kimball)
1t was but fitting that a monument To
Daniel Webster should be unveiled on the
anniversary of the battle of Bunker Hill,
for few Americans appreciated the result of
that battle to the fulness that did the great
mind of Webster He has left his thoughts
on the matter in the two orations he deliv-
cred over the commencement and completion
of the Bunker Hill monument, and these
two efforts of his shall always remain classics
in our literature. On June IL, in Concord,
the capital of Webster's native state of New
Hampshire will be unveiled statue to the
sturdy statesman.
The Grafton will be delivered by President
Bartlett, of Dartmouth college There will
be pres ent all the military of the state, and
representatives from all the Dartmouth
alumni associations in the country, and it is
expected that there will be a greater gather
ing in the city on that day than has ever
come t. 'gether there on any previous occa-
sion. George w. Nesmith will preside, and
among thos. who will make addresses are
William NJ Evarts, of New York; Con-
gresham Bingham, of Pennsylvania; Gen.
b. F. Butler, Robert c. Winthrop and
Richard Olney, of Boston. At the conclu-
sion of the ceremonies the Dartmouth alumni
the Boston public library, will deliver an
oration.

rfOw He SECURED His Customer.

The following story is told Of an enter
prising New York jobber, the events having
taken place some years ago: The merchant
in question, having heard Of the arrival Of
a country trader who was known to be a
purchaser and of unquestionable credit, was
resolved to get him to visit his establish
ment, and, once there, he felt sure he could
secure him as customer. He accordingly
sent out one of his drummers, of whom he
had quite a number, adapted to every taste
and disposition. The one sent, however,
returned without success. No. 2 was dis
patched with no better result and again No.
3, and so on until all had gone and come
back without their man.
The merchant now determined to go him
self, and finding that brandy and water and
free tickets to the theatre were of no avail,
for the country trader did not take one or go
to the other he was reduced to the necessity
of employing ruse, which, as the sequel
shows, was simple as well as effectual On
taking his departure after a pleasant inter-
view the merchant took care to commit the
mistake of taking the traders hat instead
of his own Next morning, as was ex-
pected, the merchant received a prompt
visit at his store from the country trader,
who came to look up the hat which he sup
posed had been hurriedly exchanged. This
was what the mercant wanted, and through
this means sold good bin of goods and Sc
cured a regular customer. Goods

This press was finally Supplanted by the
Washington press, inv ented by Samuel
Rust in 1920 From the manufacture of the
Smith presses Hoe mad. a fortune, as the
inventor died year after securing his
patent, and the firm name was changed to
r. Hoe & Co. The demand for hand presses
increased SO that ten years later it was sug-
gested that steam power might be utilized
in some way to do the pulling and tugging
necessary in getting an impression. At this
time the late Col. Hoe, one of the sons of the
founder of the house, was an attentive lis
tener to the discussions in regard to the pos
sibility of bringing steam power to aid the
press Young Richard M Hoe was born in
1872. He had the advantage of an excellent
education, but his fathers business possessed
such fascination for him that it was with
difficulty he was kept at school He was
Young man of &c before his father allowed him
to work regularly in the shop. He had already
become expert in handling tools, so that he
soon became one of the best workmen. He
Joined with his. father in the belief that
steam would yet be applied to the printing
press and the numerous models and expert
ments they made to that end would, in the
light Of the present day, appear extremely
ridiculous In 1850 Napier had construct
ed steam printing press, and in 1880 Isaac
Adams, of Boston. secured a patent for a
power press These inventions were kept
very secret, the factories in which they were
made being guarded jealousy. In 1880
Napier press was imported into this country
for use on The National Intelligencer. Old
Mai Noah, editor Of Noah's Sunday Times
and Messenger, was collector of the port Of
New York in those days. and being desirous
of seeing how the Napier press would
work, sent for Mr.. Hoe to put it up. He
and Richard succeeded in setting up the
press, and worked it successfully.
The success of the Napier press set the
Hoes to thinking. They had made models of
its peculiar parts and studied them care
fully. Then, in pursuance Of plan sug-
gested by Richard, his father sent his part
ner, Mr. Newton, to England for the purpose
of examining new machinery there and to
secure models for future use. On his return
with ideas Mr.. Newton and the Hoes pro-
iected and turned oht for sale a novel two
cylinder press, which became universally
popular and soon superseded all others, the
Napier included.
Thus was steam at last harnessed to the
press, but the demand of the daily papers for
their increasing editions spurred the press
makers to devise machines that could be
worked at higher speed than was found pos
sible with the presses in which the type was
secured to fat bed which was moved back

roughs lay waiting in dark alley for an
officer, and intending to thump the life out

trap, quietly turned in an alarm and walked
toward his foe with CLUB uplifted. In two
minutes the hoodlun3s sprang upon him, and

there was sharp Iclang, clang, clang,
rattle of wheels and hoofs, cloud of blue

He was a most emphatic, wilful, tiff-necked,
systematic, mental, spiritual, erratic
and a most degraded creature;
He was given to frivolity and most un-

He was full of injudiciousness and insolent

the type. The above diagram furnished by
Mr.. S. ID. Tucker, the surviving head of the
firm of Hoe & Co., is a fac-simile of the
original drawing in their office 1t was this
simple device, by the introduction of light
ming presses" that revolutionized the news
paper business of the world, and made the
press the power it is. 1t brought Hoe fame
and put him at the head of press makers.
His business grew to such dimensions that
he has in his employ in his New York factory
from 800 to 100 hands, varying with the
state of trade. His London factory employs
from 80 to 200 hands.
And yet the great daily presses craved
still faster presses The result was the de-
velopment of the web press. in which the
paper is drawn into the press from con-
tinuous roll at speed Of twelve miles an
hour. The very latest is a machine called
the supplement press, capable of printing
complete paper of from eight to twelve
pages depending on the demand of the day,
so that the papers slide out of the machine
with the supplements gummed in and the
paper folded ready for delivery.
OF late years many other remarkably in
genious presses of other makers have come
into the market, but still the genius of r. NJ.
Hoe has left an indelible mark in the devel
opment of the printing press.

The recent death of Col. Richard NJ Hoe
in Florence, Italy, closes the career of one
whose name is known wherever the news
paper is used tc spread intelligence. He
was the senior member of the firm of print
ing press makers, and one Of the leading in
ventors and developers of that great lever
of public opinion.
- Col Hoes father WAS the founder OF the
firm. He came to this country from Eng
land in 1903, and worked at his trade of car
pentry Through his skill as workman he
was sought out by maker of printers
material named Smith. He married Smiths
sister, and went into partnership with
Smith and brother. The printing presses of
those days were made chiefly of wood. and
Hoes skill as wood worker was valuable
to the firm. In 1922 Peter Smith invented
the hand press, of which we give an illustra-
ton, and which will be recognized by many
an old printer, though many are in use to
this day
