REVENGE IN BuRMAH.

Terrible Vengeance of the Dacoits on tho
Friends of Their Enemies.
A headman informed me one day as l
passed through his village of the where
abouts of well-known dacoit few
miles off. On this information the man
was tracked and executed an hour or
two afterward. Some months later this
headman and his brother, both we'll dis
posed to our rule, were waylaid and mur-
dered by the gang to which the above
mentioned dacoit chief had belonged
In another case a man who had been i'm
pressed to serve tho dacoits as cook and
baggage-carrier escaped and took refuge
in a well-defended post, only, however,
to hear few days later that his old
mother, who was living in her native
village, had the night before been muir
dered. Some information on which ono
or two dacoits were captured was given
by man who himself lived in large
town with military station, and was,
therefore, safe. His nearest relatives,
however, mother, sister, wife, two
young children, and an infant few
hours old living in their own village,
were very shortly afterward all muir
dere1. in ono night. They were be-
headed and laid out in row, from tho
! largest at one end to the baby ut tho
other. Such was the terrible vengeance
of the dacoits on the families of those
who were themselves out of reach.
Hundreds of similar instances might DO
related, all showing the same system,
and only differing one from another in
the various methods by which the acts
of revenge were carried out.
Whenever tho dacoits believed that
they were In no danger of interruption
from our troops, elaborate tortures were
added to simple assassination; If, how
ever, sudden alarm was raised, blow
of the dah from each of the gang in
succession made their vengeance sure.
1t is astonishing how accurate the in
formation of the dacoits frequently is,
and how carefully they watch tho move-
ments of every post: A district magis-
manding the military police and by n
district superintendent of civil police,
returning from village G. through viii
lage Is. (where post was to he estab-
lished) to village A., received intelli-
gence the day after their arrival OF an
attack upon B. and the murder OF q
woman whose husband and brother had
both rendered us an important service.
The dacoits waited to perform this
, outrage until the officers had passed
back through Il. with baggage and per-
!, sonal escort, thus seizing the most IA
yorable opportunity for their purpose,
MS any conveys would have accompanied
: the party to save escort, and no patro
r was likely to pass directly after the pas
, sage OF considerable body OF troops---

goods as much, either. May be you don't
believe that, but it's so. Nowhere in
the whole modern laundry process are
goods subjected to any such wearing
and rasping treatment as the old style
of rubbing them on q wash-board with
the hands. People really don't know
how we do up clothes at ALL"
The increase in the laundry business
has not only been rapid, but it has
created large establishments for the
manufacture of laundry supplies and
machines used in the laundry business.
These machines, many of them, are
costly, and they are, all of them, in
genious labor-saving contrivances.
Pictures of some of the principal ma
chimes used in the business are here
given, and their use illustrates pretty
well the modern laundry process.
The laundry receiving depots where
goods can be left to be called for" to
which allusion has been made, are most
ly those connected with the big steam
laundry establishments. These depots
are scattered in all sorts of places all
over the city. The favorite places the
laundrymen select are gentlemen's fur
nishing stores. The packages of goods
to be laundered are left at these places
and taken up by the laundry delivery
wagons The wagons bring the pack
ages back to the depot when the laun-
drying is completed, and the owners
call and get them. The delivery wag-
ons also call ut the homes of the regu-
lar customers of the laundries. Each
Ion nl,,u lyannc toin n
names of it's regular customers and the
day and the hour at which each custom
er wants "his laundry called for. Each
driver of each delivery wagon has, of
course, his regular daily route. The
laundries will, as n rule, call for AID de-
liver goods all over the city to regular
customers. Some of the big laundries
have several sets of deliveries" one
set of delivery wagons for such por-
tion of the city and one set for another
the different sets not all reporting at
central branch, but having centers OF
their own, which, in turn, communicate
with the main offices.
10 When the package of goods to be
washed finally gets into the laundry the
berSon who receives it-who is usually q
| good-looking young woman - writes
plainly on it the name and address OF
the person to whom it belongs, as well
as the time when it must be 'done'-ii
such time is specified she also makes
out the ticket" which contains the
list and number of the different articles
in the package. If no time for the work
is specified by the customer-and none
usually is - the person leaving the
! laundry ought to expect to get it again
/ in three days, that being the time in
which laundry work is usually ''done'
| by the first-class si,ops. The packages
! are allowed to accumulate indiscrim
inately in the laundry until sufficient
number-called n "lot"-is on hand
The lot varies in size, according to the
capacity of the laundry, from twenty

MODERN LAUNDRIES.
How tho Wash-Tub's Successor
Does Our Collars and Cuffs.
EvcJy Thing in the Cleaning Process
Now Done by Machinery - Rapid
Growth of This Modern
Industry.

'I don't believe there was q single
public laundry in this city fifteen years
ago." said city laundryman to q New
York Sun reporter tho other day,
"where laundering was done on big
scale. Originally, you know, people
here who wanted their collars and cuffs
done up nicely actually sent them away
up the river to the laundrics in Troy,
and thus the name Troy laundry
originated. The laundries were started
in Troy because nearly all the big
shirt and collar and cuff manufactures
we're located there, and the laundries,
in the first place, were connected with
these establishments. OF course, there
are no real Troy laundries' to-day.
Even as late as seven years ago / don't
believe that there were one-tenth of the
public laundries that there are to-day.
The work used to be done almost en-
tirely by washer-women. Nowadays
the average gentleman don't want a
washerwoman to touch his collars and
cuffs or shirt. The laundries do this
work ever so much better than the
washerwomen, and they don't hur. the

front OF him, and underneath a hole in
the center of this table hangs big bag
into which tho assorter throws the col
lars and cuffs. He puts tho shirts in
big basket, and re-eXamines each piece
of goods to see if it is properly marked.
Finally tho "lot" is sent to the wosh-
room. Throughout the progress of the
cleaning process tho different pieces of
the lot are kept together and the loL
comes out as it goes in. Thus identili-
cation of the goods is systemati2ed, and
the time of delivery is made certain.
First the goods arc marked. They are
not rubbed over board or rasped by
machine. They are placed in queer
looking affairs called wood washers"
Each washer consists Of two oval cylin-
inrs one within tho other They are
both made of cypress. or Georgia pine.
The inner cylinder is fixed so that it can
| revolve very rapidly. The inner cylin-
der is full of holes, and both cylinders
have big trap-door openings on top, as
shown in the cut. The clothes arc
placed in the inner cylinder and the
trap-door closed. Then soap and warm
water is put in the space between the
inner and outer cylinder and tho outer
cylinder door is closed. BY means of
power from an engine the inner cylin-
der is made to revolve at great rate,
and the soapsuds, starting through the
| holes, wash the clothes inside finely.
Thus the clothes are subjected to no
tearing and grinding, as is commonly
imagined. The washing cylinders are
of all sizes, and somo of the larger will
wash at one time either $50 dozen collars
and cuffs or $50 shirts. The big laundries,
of course, have each q good many of the
washing machines.
Tho washing process proper takes n
good while. The man in charge of it
puts upon each machine chalk inscrip-
tion stating the exact time at which the
washing began. Say that the clothes
were put in a machine at 1870 o'clock p.
m. They are washed in the "first soap
suds" till 2:15. and in the "second soap
suds" till 2:55. Then they are rinsed
for ten minutes and bleached for forty
minutes. Then they receive two fresh
water rinsings before they are "blued, VI
and are then thoroughly rinsed again.
From the wooden washing machines
the clothes are taken to cylindrical iron
affairs known as centrifugal wringers. u
The centrifugal wringer consists like
the washer, of two cylinders, one within
the other, and the inner cylinder full OF
holes and capable of revolving at q
rapid rate. The inner cylinder is oi
polished brass and is called "basket,'
and it's revolutions amount to fifteen
thousand per minute when the full
power is applied. The wet clothes arc
placed in the inner cylinder and the
cylinder turns. The great rapidity o.
: the revolution, of course, packs tho
clothes in solid mass around the inner
: sides of the inner cylinder, while the
water that was in them streams out o
the holes in the wide cylinder and i!
carried away in tubes. Not drop o
water can be wrung out of the clothes
when they are taken from the machine
: Thus by this machine the clothes il
l the wash are not harmed nearly as mucl
as by putting them through between thu
rubber rolls of an old-fashionec
Perrysburg journal. (Perrysburg, Wood Co., O. [Ohio]) 186?-1965, 1890-10-04

"wringer." The old-fashioned "wring-
err" of course, is still the only machine
that can be attached to tub and used
by washerwoman. And as such, Of
course, it will long live.
Then the clotbes-the shirts and col
lars and cuffs, tina. is-are starched and
hung up in places called "drying-boXes.
These are simply long iron racks, as
shown in the cut inclosed in a big iron
box or closet, and so arranged that each
rack can be drawn out of the box to
neul.y it's full length. When all the
racks are shut in tho closet is almost
air-tight. Steam radiators in the closet
bring tho atmosphere there TO q temper
ature of 210 degrees or so, and in this
the clothes dry very quickly. The racks
in the drying-box are made of galvan
lied iron and brass, so that the clothes
hanging on them do not get tarnished.
When the clothes come out of the dry
ing-boX they are. of course, very stif
and the shirts have to be pressed be-
tween dampened cloths before theV can
be ironed. In almost every laundry in
the city to-day shirts arc still ironed in
the old fashioned way, by hand, though
shirt-ironing machines havo been l1l-
vented. But the collars and cuffs are all
ironed now by machines in the laun-
dries. A hollow cylinder of steel, heat
ed from tho inside, revolving both on
its axis and backward and forward, is
made to pass over the linen again and
again. The collars and cuffs rest dur
ing this operation on many thicllnesses
of felt, which serves as an excellent bed
for them.
Finally tho cuffs are placed upon a
half-revolving cylinder which turns
them into proper shape, while similar
machine exercises similar function as
regards the collars. In turning" the
collars great care has to be taken not TO
crack the seams. In order that this
may be avoided the seams had to be
slightly dampened. Up to within few
months this operation of dampening the
seams had to be done by hand, but an
ingenious contrivance just invented 40
complishes this mechanically.
At last all pieces of the slot" are
again taken to the assorter. They get
| to the assorter at different times, OF
course, some of the pieces getting done
quicker thaa tho others. But the as
sorter. as soon as he gets the first piece,
at once begins his work of making up
the bundles Of the customers.
