A machine that is said to be destined to
revolutionize the barrel manufacturing bust
ness and with the help of six hands to turn
out as many barrels in a day as sixty men
can make, and at one-quarter the cost, has
just been completed and set up at Camden.
1t is the invention of Mrs. Beasley, of Phila-
delphia, and will stand as a monument to
the genius of woman who spent the best
part of her life and large fortune in per-
fecting an invention that came to her as an
inspiration.
About ten years ago Mrs. Beasley stoed
looking at number of coopers who were
making barrels. She saw the vast amount of
labor entailed. the great cost of production,
and the number of hands that barrel passed
through, before its completion. and the in
vention which has just been completed is an
evidence of the zeal with which she started
out to solve the problem of lessening expense
in the cost of production. The machinery
was put in operation recently for the benefit
of number of persons interested in the in
vention, and the exhibition was highly salts
factory The apparatus cuts the slaves,
bends them to the desired shape and then
puts them together and heads the barrels,
making them better and tighter than if made
in the old fashioned way.

A Tribute.

To the Editor of the Press:
When friend dies, we instinctively feel
burden of grief which can find vent only in
expressions of regard; so ], today, would
pay tribute to the memory of my cherished
friend, Mr.. F. A. Gage, who, just before last
nights midnight hour, closed his eyes upon
earthly scenes and passed through the dark,
shadowy valley into the gates of the eternal
city. Mr.. Gage will be mourned by large
circle, around whose lives his presence and
genial nature cast rays of sunshine more
lasting than those which are shed from the
heavens on this beautiful September morn
ing. His was nature filed with generous
impulses. Many poor, wandering, hunger
ing person today will stand uncovered and
thank God for the life of him who befriend-
ed them; for him whose mortal remains now
await the habiliments of the tomb Many
in more pleasant walks of life remember
Mr.. Gage with gratitude, while all who were
favored by acquaintance with him will carry
to life's close the ties which were woven so
silently, but which bind so securely, his
memory to our thought. Upon thy resting
place, my friend, would place the sweetest
garlands, and as time goes on, silvering my
hair and drawing my footsteps to the shore
unseen, will believe that in better coun-
try we shall meet again. w. G. S.

officer skiIIings Captured

Officer Skillings says that since he has
been on the police force last night was the
first time that any one has really got the best
of him; but last evening he was given a
genuine surprise by large party of his
friends, who, after a couple of hours spent
in pleasant conversation and various games,
presented Mr.. Skillings with very hand
some Knights of Pythias pin. The presen-
tation was made by gentleman of the par
ty in few well chosen words, and Mr..
Skillings accepted in few words of heart
felt thanks. Then the ladies had their turn,
and presented him with an elegant easy
chair. This rather discomposed the popular
officer, coming so quickly after the first pre-
sentation, but he quickly rallied and received
the gift in a graceful manner. 1t was
pleasant occasion to all concerned.

NEW ADVERTEsEmENTs TODAY
Read What Mrs. Julia Knight of This
City, Says of Or. Smith.

Read what Mrs. Julia Knight says of Dr. Smith,
the magnetic physician, at the United States Ho-
TEL before you go to see him. Mrs. Julia Knight
who resides at No. 234 Bracket St. in the city OF
Portland, fractured her left hand upwards of ten
years ago, and from that time on had no use OF
it whatever. The middle fingers, as well as the
wrist were so stiff and unyielding that she could
not open and close the hand and for ten years the
hand remained entirely useless. Whenever she
attempted to carry dish or anything else In the
hand it would fall to the floor. She also suffered
from pain In the side and back, which was rheu-
matte in character.
One week ago last Saturday morning she went
to Congress Hall to listen to DIR. Smiths lecture
and to witness his wonderful cures. Finally an
opportunity presented itself and she went upon
the stage The Doctor gave her one magnetic
treatment and told her to go home that she would
have no further trouble with the hand. The Doc
tors statement seemed incredulous to her for she
had not been able to use the hand for ten years.
She went home, however, and sure enough she
could open and close the hand as well as ever In
order to test the cure to see whether it would be
permanent or not she took II into her head to do
out the family washing, and to her great Joy and
satisfaction found that she could do it with ease.
Another remarkable coincidence took place
which is worthy of note The pains in her side
and back disappeared and she is now free from
pain, and one of the happiest women in Portland.
Hundreds of cases equally as interesting as this
one are being cured at Congress Hall free of
charge.
Dr. Smith will continue to treat the sick, free of
charge, at Congress Hall, every morning this
week from 10 to IL O'Clock, and will give a free
lecture to women at the Hall Thursday evening,
September 13. at so'clock. He is permanently TO-

NEW ADvERTIsEmENTs.

The summer girl of to-day saws a good
thing now and then in spite Of herself. She
was standing in front Of our street window
Yesterday afternoon looking at the Handker
chiefs marked five cents. "They are precise
bI the same identical styles that ---i in
Boston sell for twelve and half cents, and
they advertise them as big bargain too"
she said.
And she was right.
Every one of these styles are new and
they are confined to us in Portland. No
where else in the city will you find the same
designs or equal value. We might get the
Boston price for them but we prefer to sell a
thousand Handkerchiefs at five cents than
half that number at double the price because
it scatters the benefit and you're more likely
to come to us again.
The entire counter space of our Linens de-
partment has been given up TO the new Hand
kerchiefs which have arrived this week, and
the line of novelties is good deal larger
than we have ever shown before. The styles
are prettier and the prices lower.-Good rea-
sons why you should buy more Handker-
chiefs. If you buy box of any one kind or
a dozen assorted you get the wholesale dis
