MANUFACTURE Of MOVABLE TYPES
What nfr. Don Mackenzie Has to Say ON
the Subject-Changes Made.

What ntr. Don Mackenzie Has to Say on
the subject-Changes Made.
Familiar as the subject is 10 the average
man the methods of production, the styles,
and the extent of the business is sealed BOOK
TO the general public Speaking of styles in
tyut.s there is as decided fashions in types as
there is in ladies' bonnets or any article of ap-
parel, which we always associate with the
word style OF fashion. The growth in type
founding has been almost startling in the
United States. The production of new faces
began about the time Of the war Before that
time the style ran to plain, heavy faces, with
no beauty in them whatever Suddenly some
type genius cut and produced ight-faeed,
graceful letter, and then began craze for
light-face Shortly afterward another letter
designer produced a japanese design in
border. 1t was taken up by every cross-road
printer and impossible japanese storks looked
down in naughty disdain on equally impossi-
bic frogs from everything from auction bills
TO note-heads. This style of work killed the
ford style of ornamentation.
The next change was the horribly grotesque
style of letter, to read which one was almost
compelled to stand on his head, or else guess
at it. At present the style is plain readable
letter, with great quantity of filigree work
surrounding it. A line on a business card
will be set in this and a vine will wind its
way all over the card. In newspaper work
there is great variety of faces. Even in the
plain body type you can have lean face,
where the letters run close together, or you
can have a fat one where the letters are
open, round, and take up considerable space
There has been marked change in the last
few years in the matter Of book type. 1t was
all the rage few years ago to have every
thing old style, and the older the better.
Now the best books are set up in plain,
modern Roman. The history of some of the
faces of type is somewhat unique and quite
interesting.
Take, for instance, that known as the geo.
metric, i'll which all the characters are square.
The treasurer of the foundry which patented
the face was visiting the Farragut Boat club
in this city and saw there the names of the
members engrossed with a pen III very
pretty manner He copied a line, and going
home had an artist carry out the design in an
entire alphabet Not feeling financially able
to go TO the expense of cutting the series of
letters-a matter of S5,O0-he wrote TO an
eastern foundry to know if they would bear
half the expense and share the profits They
refused the offer, and he put the letter on the
market himself after great trouble. 1t proved
great success from the start, and in four
Years the foundry made $50, 900. and that one
letter firmly established them in the business.
The idea OF casting a script letter lay a long
time dormant, but when il was done it made
the fortunes of two foundries. Chicago NewI

A ROUSER AT COAL VALLEY.
Congressman Neeee---Other
Speakers.

The democratic and peoples mass
meeting, held at Social hall at Coal Val
ley last night was another manifestation
of the popularity of Congressman Niece
all over Rock Island county, and the en-
dorsement which has attended his every
act in congress. Ex-Supervisor John
Barton presided. NJ. J. McEniry was
first called upon. He dwelt fully and
soundly on the argument raised BY the
republicans that Gest should be elected
on the ground of his being home man .
The fact of Mr.. Gest residing in Rock
Island should have no bearing in the
present campaign. twas Mr.. McEnirys
opinion that Mr.. Neece's election was
more essential TO the interests of Rock Isl
aud county than that of Mr.
Gest Mr. Neece's three years ex-
perience in congress was an important
consideration. His defeat would take
from the democratic party one of that
party's congressman from the northwe st.
A new congressman would not
have the influence with democrat
ic house in committee appointments
and consequently the committee which
was to consider and urge the Hennepin
canal among other important measures,
might not under such circumstances be
properly chosen. The defeat of Con-
gresham Niece would place the Henne>
pin canal back where it was before Con-
gressmen Neece and Murphy entered
congress 1t was more to the interest of
Rock Island county to return Mr.. Niece
to congress than to elect Mr.. Gest.
Congressman Neece was then intro
duced and he was accorded a most en-
thusiastic greeting. He spoke for an
hour on the land, tariff and pension
questions, and his remarks were
constantly interrupted by vociferous
applause. 1t was one of the most
enthusiastic audiences MIR. Niece mas
spoken to in Rock Island county, and
was strong evidence of the fact that he
has lost none of his friends IN that sec
ton. bat on the contrary has gained sup
port and confidence.
Messrs. NJ NJ. Corbett and William
McEniry made addresses reviewing the
political aspect of the state, congression>
al, legislative and county tickets, and the
meeting closed with three times three
cheers for Congressman Neece. There
were over four hundred present, the hall
being packed and many standing outside.
Tonight Mr.. Niece and others will
talk at Port Byron.

WHO DID WHAT?
That is the Question to be Solved in
| the Monmouth Picnic" Case.

The Monmouth "picnic" case is still alb
sorbing the attention of Warren and adj
Joining counties A witness before the
jury yesterday testified that he was near
the grounds when the disgraceful pro-
ceedings heretofore alluded to are said
to have occurred. He heard the name oil
Geo Harding mentioned; heard wom-
ans voice call George" and the names
of Howard and Jack Reichard in feminine
tones. Decidedly the most sensational
testimony was that furnished by Robert
Walters, and though the evidence shows
that the witness was somewhat ''rattled
as a result of the severity of the cross ex-
animation, it is no less an important
part of tho trial proceedings. Walters
testified to going out to the picnic grounds
near Olmsteads mill with his friend Har>
nv Merrifield They became members of
the party, and Walters said on the stand;
"Merrifeld and went out for time in
the afternoon. Had Humans horse.
Had two women with us. Went out to
Cedar at the stone dam. Stayed there
awhile. Had our fun. Drank beer,

no attention to the important party which
visited Rock Island Monday night, ig-
noring it entirely. The ARGUS besides
giving complete report afterwards, had
mentioned it several times in advance
and as a number of our representative citi-
liens called upon the visitors it is seeming
" apparent that because matter of news
fails to appear in the Union, the people
of Rock Island are not deprived of it,.
