A Confidence Man.

Last week stranger who represented
that he was taking orders for enlarging
pictures beat lady on East Oliver street
out of $3.50. The lady has to depend on
her own exertions for livelihood, and this
fact was used by the pseudo agent. lie
stated he would secure employment with
his company for her son. She also was to
make SO. 80 or $4 week by allowing him
to hang his pictures in her house for eXhi-
bition. He offered to put up $3.50 with
the $3.50 he got from her TO pay for en-
larging the picture of deceased friend for
her. The lady blames herself for being
duped. as the would be agent did not have
sample of an enlarged photo with him.
He said he had been recommended to call
on her by member OF the church to
which she belongs, but could not recolect
the members name. This made the lady
little suspicious at the time, but his gen
erous offer TO pay half the expense of the
enlargement of much-loved friends
photograph eclipsed her better judgment.
Citizens must be on their guard against all
this class of dead beats.

Republican Majority

Protection Ballots Snow Unde. tas
Democrats.

The election in Maine on Monday was
one of the most exciting in years, and the
result is very gratifying to all Pepubicans.
The old Pine Tree State has done her duty
nobly. Much was required, and as in the
past in critical perils when much was in-
volved in the completeness of Republican
victory in Maine. she has not been found
wanting and sends greeting to The thou
sands of Republicans throughout the Union
who have waited with breathless interest
the result there because Of lis influence
in the National contest under the condi-
tions which prevailed.
1t is glorious triumph. The whole
power OF the administration was brought
so bear upon the election. Vast sums OF
money were poured in and most despe
rate effort made by the party workers and
leaders to cut down the Republican pl,.
rality. They had boasted openly that they
would bring it down 10 10000, and it
swelled to nearly double those figures.
For years the Democrats have ascribed
the splendid Republican victories in Maine
TO the power of the Federal ofliceholders
and their money. In this contest the
Democrats have controlled.thc entire Fed
eral patronage in the State, and made
determined standup fight. The Republi-
cans have met them squarely on their own
ground and swept the State from Kiuery
10 Quoddy Head. They may well be
proud of their victory. They had the aid
of Mr.. Blaine's powerful arm, and the
woolgrowers of Somerset and Franklin
counties, the lumbcrmen of the Penobscut
and Kcnnebec, the lneworkers of Knox.
the potato growers of Aroostook. and, IN
fact, thousands of workingmen whose in
terests were jeopardized by the Mills bill,
which directly attacked the industries Cf
the State, rallied to the support of the re
publican ticket The result is a direct re-.
buke to the President and the free traders.
and prominent Republicans regard il as
assuring the election Of Harrison and
Morton.
The latest returns give Burleigh Rep.
about 10000 majority. Congressman Rccd
has 2 200 plurality against 1883 in 1896.
Congressman Dingley has plurality ot
5000; Congressman Milliken, G. 900; Con.
gresham Boutelle, 5000. All are Rcpui
licans. All the State Senators are RepuL
licans; four.fifths of the Representatives
are Republicans. Every county officer IL

A Modern Version of the Fable OF the Boy
and the Wolf.


Once there was Boy left to tend a
flock Of Sheep, and being impcled by
the spirit Of mischief in the absence Of
spirits Of another variety, he amused
himself by crying "Wof" when no
Wolf was nigh.
The people Of the neighhorhood
were greatly terrified. and hastily arm
ing themselves with whatever weapons
they could command, rushed to the
spot to defend the Sheep from the
ruthless invader.
When they discovered the April fool
that was played upon them they were
mad, but the Boy mockcd them and
laughed and called them "Rubcs, q
term that he picked up at the circus
He fooled them several times that
way, but at length the Wolf did come.
and when he cried out no one believed
him and no one hurried to his assist
ance. You may expect to rcad,tha
the Boy was torn in pieces and
Jeyoured, and YOU are doubtless pre-
pared to say it served him right, but
nothing of the kind happened, He
wasn't that kind Of a Boy.
He had made arrangements with one
of Barnum's agents whose business it
was to secure animals for the Greatest
Show on Earth. and when the Wolf
put in an appearance with an appetite
week old, expecting to make a meal
OF the Boy, as had been usual in all
previous versions of this fable, he was
ensnarcd by the agents men and
shipped to Bridgeport for identifca-
tion, classification and moral instruc-
ton, preparatory to being put on the
road. The boy was rewarded with a
position as candy butcher with the
Show, where he amassed handsome
fortune in single season by dexter
ously counting both ends OF dollar
bills in making change to customers.

oLAss.soTTLE MACHINE.
The Ingenious Apparatus for Mechanical
Iy MoIding and Blowing Bottles.

An important innovation in the
notwithstanding trade has been
perfected. 1t is an ingenious appar-
atus for mechanically moldlng and
blowing glass bottles.
The molding is done mechanically
and the blowing by means of com
pressed air, thus relieving the glass
blower and his unhealthy and life
shortening occupation. Each pair OF
machines is fed with molten glass by
one youth known as d 'gatherer, and
each machine is worked by boy who
molds and blows the bottle, and places
1t on a stand, whence it is removed by
another boy called the ''taker-in,' to
the anneallng furnace, Zach
pair OF machines IS thus
served BY four hands. three OF
whom are boys. Upon the occasion
OF our visit one pair of machines were
running upon soda water bottles, and
the other pa4r upon pint beer bottlest
which were tprned out at the rate OF
one hundred and twenty per hour per
machine very perfect bottles being
produced.
The repeating machine consists OF
circular turn-table revOlyed by ma"
Chinory around a central pillar. Inc
whole apparatus is seven feet in diam
cter by five feet over all, and at four
points around its circumference are
placed at equal distances four molding
machines Each of these is similar in
principle to the single machine, al
though, Of course, slightly different In
detail and construction. As the ap-
paratus rcvOlves each machine in turn
passes before the gatherer, who
charges it with molten glass. Ih@
charged mold then passes on a quarter
Of a circle to the next point, where the
mold is automatically turned upside
down and the interior Of the neck OK
the hrtr.o is formed, the process OF
blowing being at the same time au-
tomatiraIly commenced. Passing round
another quarter Of circle, the mold
reaches point where it is closed, the
air pressure put fully on, and the bot
IT, completed. The third quarter of n
circle brings the perfectly-fnished bot
tie to point at which it is automat-
ira.ly discharged on to a carrier, by
which it is conveyed to the annealine
oven, into which it is placed by boy.

DR.. Julius Wiessner has been maxi
ing a microscopical examination Of
some old manuscripts, in order to dis
cover OF what ingredients the paper on
which they are written was composed.
He has conclusively proved that linen
rags were used in the manufacture OF
paper as early as the eighth and ninth
centuries. The fiber is chiefly of lincn.
but there are also traces Of cotton,
hemp and animal fiber,,present. Tho
manufacture of paper, he says. is an
Eastern and not a German or Italian
invention, as has hitherto been SUP
posed. Out of five hundred Oriental and
Eastern specimens, not single one
was raw cotton paper. All those that
were examised had likewise been
"clayed" like modern papers. The
material used for this purpose was
starchp paste manufactured from wheat,
and in some cases buckwheat Animal
substances do not appear to have been
employed for claying before the four
teenth or fifteenth century.-&. James,
