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
plato printing presses for the Bureau Of En-
craving and Printing is intended to DO pro-
hibitory of the use of all steam presses.
Under this ruling the Bill igan presses now
used by the 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 i'm their efforts in this direc-
tlon when the act Of Congress was passed,
but the language of the bill was such that
question arose as to whether it was strictly
prohibitory and the matter was referred to
Secretary Window for decision. The Stcre-
tary has refl ID to sign any contract with
the 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.

A MODERN
MAGDALEM.
BY n. C. FARLEY.
CHAPTER XVJ.-ICoNTINuEp.

CHAPTER XvL-ICoNT1NuEpl
Below stairs there is commotion, and
hurry, and hustle, and more or less
confusion. kibbcy is master of the
situation. He neither loses his pres
enca of mind nor his amiable placidity
of mannor.
And ho orders his staff of servants
after the fashion of great general on
the battle tilod.
kibbey does not suspect that he ia
bong watched. Nevertheless such is
tho fact.
The suppor-room is marvellous in its
arrangement. kibbcy looks it over
with tho eye of n connoisscur 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
entng and drinking, the laughing and
chattering.
SO the hours wear away.
Madam Dundns rcfreshes herself
with sicsta behind tha curtains il, 4I,.,
dining-room, and comes out again gra-
cious and smiling to her guests.
Miss Lafargc glows like star of tho
brightest radiance. Her bluo eyes are
clear and bright as summer skies. She
smiles like an angel, and quite forgets
for the time being to snap her little
white teeth ut anybody.
Sho is secretly determined in her
own mind to bring the gallant Captain
to her feet tonight, but this task is
moro difficult than she at first imagincs
it will he be.
Tho Captain has anglcd some in his
own time, and though ho ut once nib
lies delicately ut the bait thrown out
b. his fair guest, he is too experienced
fish to ut once swallow it, hook and
all. Loo watches tho pair SECRETLY.
She loses hope and almost believes
that the Captain is in love with Miss
Lafargc, after MI. B;t, outwPrdly,
she is as gay rs the rest f them, and
never loses dance, be it walt, or gal
op, or the stately old cotllion. She
receives enough attention to turn tho
head Of another gil and enjoys il
after fashion, TOO. But she is not

whose lifo he was powerless to save.
The dying man, who was so poor Mt

He had houses and lands, and bank

grand dinners. Yet his restless spirit

He is speaking, and they bend eager

Then his loving child pours out
