THE FINISHING HOUSE.
Walking along a little railroad track
running from the factory building you
enter the finishing house. Running from
the engine house to it is a narrow eleyat-
ed, covered way enclosing steam pipe which
furnishes the required heat-a good deal
to the scores Of radiating heaters which
are all over the various f1oors of that
building. On the lower floor Of the finish
ing house is an elevator of four tons capac=
ity and run by an S-hsrse-poWer engine
On the little road the furniture manufae-
tured in the factory is run to the finishing
house and there hOisted to the third story.
The walls of this third floor are sealed with
paper SO us to prevent any dust entering.
1t is there that the furniture is what Ia
called filled that is, prepared so that the
garnish and paint put on it can't be alb
sorbed by the wood. On the next story
below, the last coating is put on and when
it dries the article is ready for sale. The
ground floor is for storage purposes and it
is there the Office of the General Manager
and Secretary will be located
THE FIRST OUTPUT.
The first output now being made of
chamber suits is of poplar and oak, and the

of bedstead, dressing case and washstand.
The suits are very pretty, and also cheap.
WHAT DRIVES IT ALL.
The engine which drives the whole work
is an s0-IlOrse-power one, with wheel
sixteen feet in diameter. 1t is rla by Mr..
Lee Smith. The boiler is a suspended one,

which Is II To BE ?

1t il not question OF right but
question Of might, which the two
committees Of the democratic party
Of this county will endeavor to settle
for Themselves and not for the people
on the 9th OF August. One Of those
committees is a self-constituted COM
mittee, while the other is the regu-
larly appointed and recognized com.
mittee of the party machinery, in
whom is delegated all power Of the
party to act. For several years
these two committees have been an
tagonizing each other until finally
they have agreed to come together
and settle their differences by dele
eating all power in the hands Of
chosen few whom they may select.
The Maryland Republican of this
morning referring to the subject,
says
The two democratic county execu-
tive committees meet in this city on
next Tuesday, August q, to nominate
the committee or committees as thcy
shall determine, which committee or
committees, are by acquiescence of
the democracy of Anne Arundel TO
make out the district primary tickets.
These gentlemen assume vastre
spOnsibilitv. They name the candi-
dates to ,un at the primaries. These
names by pre-arrangement are TO
have no opposition. They will there
fore be decl ared elected and compose
the county nominating convention as
well as control the selection of dele
gates to the State nominating con-
vention. We have uttered our warn
ing and protest against this most un-
democratic method Of dong what the
people only havea right to do, namely,
10 select and elect their own represent
tatives. Many good democrats have
signiiied their concurrence with our
views and have heartily endorsed
what we have said aud done. But as
yet no organized movement is made
10 give this sentiment embodiment in
action of the people, either in mass
meeting, or in district meetings.. The
bosses have made an arrangement, and
fearful Of party disturbances the peo-
pie remain silent The s'bossesn have
IN fact captured the party. Now what
will they do with it 7 They begin to
answer the question on next Tuesday.
The men they then select as commit
tee-men will shape the forthcoming
ticket Will they shape it in the in-
terests OF the people OF Anne Arundel
county 1t is not likely. They rep
resent two men, each Of whom has
been fighting for supremacy and the
control of the party 10 ! these many
years. These two have agreed to
ssharmonize" provided the party will
permit each 10 name half the ticket.
This IS what the harmony amounts
ID. Now what does this mean
What does it appear to mean "A
ticket made in the interests Of the
peopler-or is it bosses first and people
afterwards, it may be not at all. We
shall soon see.

ALBEIT AS A LAWYER.
why He Did Not BecOme a Member of the
New York Bar.

NEW York, Oct. 2s.-The story of how
Ex-Governor Leon Albeit, of New Jersey,
who is now posing as reform candidate,
failed TO get admission TO the New York
bar is told by the Tribune this morning.
1t says: "Thc New York City Bar Asso-
citation is composed of the honorable
members of the legal profession. 1t ex-
cludes all lawyers who have committed
acts calculated 10 degrade the profession.
To be excluded is q mark OF contempt
and makes the rejected one, in q certain
sense, an outcast in the profession, to the
honorable practice Of which all of its fol-
lowers are sworn. Such is the position of
Leon Albeit. Declared TO be unworthy
of membership in the non-partisan New
York Bar Association, he has been chosen
by the Democratic party Of New Jersey
to be its leader in the present campaign
as the candidate for the highest office that
can be bestowed upon any citizen by the
people OF the state"
The Tribune then gives in detail the
story of how, in 1887, Mr.. Albeit and
his law partner, Henry Schnitt, applied
for admission TO the association. 1t says:
"Abbett had been practicipg law in this
city for several years, and still has offices
at No. 229 Broadway, while having his
residence in New Jersey. Objection was
made to the admission Of Albeit and
Schmitt on various grounds, and formal
charges were preferred against them. In
the case of Albeit and Schmitt commit
tee composed OF five prominent lawyers
was appointed 10 investigate the charges,
the chief one of which was in substance
as follows: That in 1870, while counsel
for the Stock Yards Company, one of the
Erie Railway corporations, they defended
that company in case involving the vail
dity OF certain contracts which were al
legged TO be fraudulent, and, therefore,
void; that In 1886, in another suit, in
which they were employed as counsel
against their old clients, they disclosed
secrets which had been intrusted to them
| by their former employers.
The report on Schmitt's application was
presented by the Committee on Admissions
early In April, 1888, and be was promptly
black balled. AT this Abbot became SER
ionsly alarmed, and his friends, fearing
similar action on his application, knowing
that the charges and reports in both cases
were precisely similar in reference TO this
particular charge, by some means secured
the withdrawal of his application. There
were other charges against Albeit, one Of
which alleged dishonorable conduct in a
certain bond transaction, and the result
of the investigation into this charge was,
as in the former case, the preparation OF
a report against the accused man by the
committee. That Albeit escaped being
lack-ballcd only by having his name
Withdrawn at the last moment is an cs-
! tablishcd fact"

A Mind Inventor.

Mr.. Herreshoff, the blind president Of
the Hereshof Manufacturing company
of Bristol, II. l., seems as much out Of
his element in his present capacity as
either tho blind sculptor, or the blind
postmaster general. Aside from Edison,
the government has recognized him as
being one of the greatest inventors Of
the times Many of the torpedo boats
and steam launches now used by this
and all the civilized governments on the
globe, are the inventions of this sight
less genius His steam launches have
made the highest speed with but few ex-
ceptions, and his torpedo boats are ranked
among the most efficient in use. He
works on his models in the quiet Of the
night shut up in the darkness of his
room, but this is all the same to Here
shof-the brightest midday would be
TO him as black as the darkest midnight.

who left home at 20 years of age, there
by evading service in the army, has sent
to the English papers a communication
received from the authorities In "the
Fatherland" in answer to an application
to be permitted to come and visit his
father ere he died. "Come by all MEANS"
was in effect the austere rejoinder, "but
you will have to pay fine of GO 10s.,
undergo six weeks drilling and spend six
months in fortress" This was little
too much for the correspondents filial
instinct. ut would have been great
Joy to me to have seen my father" he
says, 'sbut under these circumstances we
shall meet no more. London Letter.

other alleged favors. 1t was the COVER

"It is n remarkable fact" observes the
Iron and Steel Trade Journal, London,
.that in the manufacture of different
kinds Of machinery the Americans can
beat us in price. Wages in the United
States arc about 80 per cent. higher than
in this country; materials are from 90 to
80 per cent. dearcr; yet the finished ma
chinery can be put on the market cheaper
1t is true that the Americans cannot send
out machines to neutral markets any
cheaper than is done by our manufac-
turers, but it is surprising that they can
at least meet US in price" This fact is
undoubtedly due to the superior methods
in the shops in this country, and partic-
ularly TO the more general substitution OF
machinery for hand power.

House burned.
On Friday morning last the house Of
Mr.. Joseph King, residing near the viii
lage of Chcrryville, was burned down,
only part Of the contents being saved.
The fire originated 10 the kitchen. Mrs.
King was boiling oil for the purpose OF
dipping suits into which are worn by
peach pickers during the rainy weather
that prevails through that season OF the
year. While the oil was boiling she went
to another part Of the house to attend TO
some olher household duties and upon
her return she found the oil had boiled
over ON the stove and taken fire, the
flames communicating to the floor and In
short time ran up the side of the house
and caught 10 the cornice, and before any
assistance could be procured the whole
house was developed in sheet of fame.
Mr.. King was at the time in the barn
threshing some grain and did not know
anything Of the fire until the roof Of the
house had fallen in. w Democrat Advertis
