HAND PRESSES ADOPTED.
Steam Plate Presses In the Bureau OF
Engraving Abandoned.

Steam Plate Presses In the Bureau OF
Engraving Abandoned.
Secretary Window has decided that the
recent act Of Congress concerning steam
plate printing presses for the Bureau of En-
craving and Printing is intended to be pro-
hibitory Of the use Of all steam presses.
Under this ruling the Miligan presses now
used by tho bureau will have to be dispensed
with. There are eighteen Milligan and ono
Homer Lee steam presses In use there
The Secretary's decision is a clear victory
for the labor unions, who have been lighting
for the introduction Of hand presses They
were successful in their efforts in this direc-
tlon when the act Of Congress was passed
but the Language OF the bill! was such that 6
question arose as to whether it was strictly
prohibitory and the matter was referred to
Secretary Window for decision. The Secre-
tary has reftsd to sign any contract with
tho Milligan Company.
The work of removing the steam presses
will begin at once; they will all be put out
OF the building by the end OF the week. In
place OF them Captain Meredith will put ut
once into operation twenty. eight hand
presses now in stock. The chief says that
by working an hour longer every day, the
bureau will soon catch up with current bus
iness, which has fallen behind because of o
weeks stoppege whi:e negotiations were In
progress. He says the work will be better
done. too, and tho expenses OF the bureau
not laraatv Increased thereby.

A MODERN
MAGDALEN.
BY a. G. FARLEY

CHAPTER XvLICoNT1NuEp
Below stairs there is commotion, and
hurry, and hustle, and more or less
confusion. Kibbey is master of the
situation. He neither loses his pres
ence of mind nor his amiable placidity
of manner.
And he orders his staff of servants
after the fashion of great general on
the battle fled.
Kibbey does not suspect that he il
bepg watched. Nevertheless such is
tho fact.
The suppor-room is marvellous in its
arrangement. Kibbey looks it over
with tue eye OF connoisseur. Moth
ing is wanting to add to it's perfection.
People stream in and out; they eat,
drink, laugh, and go away again, only
to return little later and repeat tho
eating and drinking, the laughing and
chattering.
So the hours wear away.
Madam Dundas refreshes herself
with siesta behind tha nIlrtnina IN, 4ho
cious and smiling to her guests. S'NS
Miss Lafarge glows like star of the
brightest radiance. Her blue eyes are
clear and bright as summer skies. She
smiles Like an angel, and quite forgets
Tor the time being to snap her little
white teeth at anybody.
Sho is secretly determined in her
own mind to bring the gallant Captain
to her feet tonight. but this task il
moro difficult than she at first imagines
it will be be.
The Captain has angled some in his
own time, and though he at once nib
lies delicately ut the bait thrown out
bJ his fair guest, he is too experienced
o fish to at once swallow il, hook and
all. Loo watches tho pair SECRETLY.
Sho loses hope and almost believes
that the Captain is in love with Miss
Lafargc, after all. But, outwerdly,
she is as gay rs the rest of them, and
never loses dance, be it waltz, or gal
Z op, or the stately old cotillion. She
receives enough attention to turn the
head of another girl, and enjoys il
after fashion, too. But she Is not
sorry when the clock strikes one and
the revelers begin to disperse. Still,
the Captain hovcrs near Miss Lafarge.
) Madam sits in great carved chair
near the open door of the hall as tho
guests come down the stairs, wrapped
and ready for departure.
Carriage for Ferndeau," "Carriago
for Haverly," Carriage for Stanwood," I"
cry the different voices Of the coach,
men, rs the carriages roll up before
. the entrance and come to halt.
The short, fat man who hos occasion,
ally been seen moving unobtrusively
among tho servants during the latter
part of tho evening is standing in the
shadow of the staircase. Quite acci-
dentally. OF course. Kibbey, the butler,
has just approached him for moment.
