THE TELEGRAPHIC TYPEWRITER.
Writing q Message From Philadelphia to
Pottsyille and Back.
New York Sun.

New Ork SUM-
In Philadelphia, yesterday, electrical con-
trivance for printing by telegrapay was exhib-
tied at the Office of the International Printing
Telegraph Companv,at Alt Walnut street. 1t was
directed by the inventor of the contrivance. Mr..
j. H. Winville The machine is combination
of a typewriter and ordinary telegraphic in
strument, by of which the operator,
pressing the keys on the board of typewriter
at end of telegraph wire, may make a
typewriter copy at the other end of the wire.
The transmitting machine also makes a copy of
the message. The same machine can be made
transmitter. At the exhibition yesterday both
transmitting and receiving instruments were in
the companys Office in Philadelphia. bnt the
message said to go out to Pottsville and
thence back Philadelphia by loop in the
telegraph wire. Several pages of matter were
printed
Superintendent Ferris of the company told
Sun reporter that while the idea of the machine
was not one. the trouble had always been
among inventors 10 get up contrlvance in a
that would stand practical tests.
I'VE believe we have such an instrument
now, said Mr.. Ferris. 1--WE intend that it shall
take the place of the telephone for use among
business men. Unlike the brokers' ticker it
prints upon broad sheet Its messages are alb
solutely secret, the sending operator can cut
all the instruments out of the circuit except the
one upon which he desires to record the mes
sage. The receiving machine works automatic
ally. Anybody who can work typewriter can
send message. The instruments are not
liable to get out of order"

and the upper part of his body to pieces. In

There is lady in Washington just now whose
presence has created quite a stir among that
more elegant portion of society composed of the
old residents. A ci:ce, by the way, so jealously
exclusive that its leader. when asked why the
Cabinet families were not received, replied with
naivete, "Oh, we must draw the line some where,
you know" The lady referred TO is above the
common height of woman her figure is good and
her bearing exceptionally dignifed and elegant.
She has what we call a fine face stamped with
both intellect and sorrow, though lacking in
feminine softness. From her broad forehead
snow-white hair is rolled back in the serene
audacity of the pompadour, and her black dress
drapes rather than clothes her statuesque form.

JUSTICE TO MRS. JOB.

Able Defender.

Able Defender.
ST. Paul Globe.
Job was a wonderfully afflicted man, but as a
partial compensation for il be has had the sym
pathy Of the human for 4, 600 years. But
it has not been with Jobs wife. Nobody has
ever spoken kind word of her. On tho con-
trarv she has been held up for 40 centuries
horrible example. But for all that we
fident the poor woman deserves a better place in
history than sshe has ever occupied. If she WAS
eour-tempered she had enough to give acid
tinge to hor disposition. She was made to drink
the dregs from a very bitter cup, and it is prob
able that she bore her troubles with about as
much equanimity as the average woman would
do
In the first place. she suddenly reduced
from luxury to perjury. Any unfortunate woman
who has suffered this ordeal knows just the
frame of mind poor Mrs. Job was in.
In the next place. she was bereft OF her chill
dren. There is grief so burdensome that
which falls upon mothers heart when the
grave hides her children from sight.
In addition to this accumulation OF SORROWS,
she was left with invalid husband her
hands. Job covered with boils and exper-
fence has taught that there is moro exas-
perating patient than a man with boil on him.
There wives. and good wives. too in this
Christian land Of ours whose lives have been
mad. most miserable for days and weeks at q
time by a husband and one boil just think,
then. what this poor woman had TO endure with
a husband with perhaps from 300 to l,O0O boils
on him. Is it any wonder that the woman en-
couraged her husband to terminate his exist
encel The only wonder is that she didn't cut
her own throat in despair.
But these were not all the troubles that Jobs
wife had TO bear. Her husbands friends came
on a visit to him. and took possession OF the
house for ak weeks at time. Other women.
and good women, too have had TO endure the
same affection and they very easily account
for Mrs Jobs exhibition of bad temper. Job
got worried with the three visitors himself, and
vet he didn't have wait them, to clean up
their rooms. to wipe the tobacco juice from the
parlor carpet every day. to sweep out the mud
they carried in on their boots and to submit to
the thousand and one apnoyances that male WIS.,
itor gives the housekeeper.
It is about time that somebody rails
ing a voice In defense of Jobs wife and saying .
kind word for the poor woman who, for 1000
years, has suffered The sings Of unjust criticism
in uncom planning silence.
Thore are great many Jobs wives in the
world to-day. We meet them every day. They
may not have husbands with boils on their bodies,
but they have husbands who go to the clubs Of
evenings They have husbands who are selfish
enough to devote all their time to business and
pleasure without considering that portion OF
that time of right belongs the woman, the
charm of whose existence is his companionshp
The Jobs wives of to-day are the women who
are burdened with the cares and sorrows of this
life. and who get no sympathy. And their name
is legion.
