There have been no scandals under this
administration. The management of the
treasury has been especially directed against
the financial heresies of the day. The Re
pubicans therefore will go into the next
campaign well equipped. They are gaining
every day in enthusiasm and confidence.
The Democrats, who have dwelt upon the
division in the Republican ranks, find them
selves much more divided 1t is their union
with the Farmers Alliance throughout the
country which will be their downfall They
have gone into the field of cheap money,
and, carried away by the advocates of that,
they will be forced to take more advanced
steps in the direction of absolute free trade
than they have ever done before.

AN IMPORTANT INDUSTRY

What Corser, Hidden q Co.. Now Hook
er, Hidden q Co, nre Doing at their
Factory on Flat Street.
One of the busiest places to be found in
Brattleboro at the present time is the fac
tory of Corser, Hidden x Co, mauufactur-
ers of overals, coats frocks. etc. in the
Jelly company's building on Flat street
This concern, which started in Brattleburo
less than a year ago, already gives employ
ment to over 80 hands. and is doing a bust
ness which is at the rate Of 500, 600 annu-
ally So rapidly have orders come in of
late in fact, that it Is impossible to keep up
with them, although the capacity of the
machinery is taxed to its utmost. An un-
usually large drive Of orders have come in
within the last few days, aud to meet
this rush six new machines have been
ordered. More will he required soon if the
present rate of increase continues.
The quarters Of the company, on the
third and fourth floor Of the building, pre-
sent lively and business like appear
auce which it is an inspiration to see
On the east side Of the third floor, running
the whole length of the building, are 30 OF
more power Wheeler x Wilson sewing ma
chimes, operated 10y young women These
machines are Of the latest and most improved
pattern, and to one who has never been in
the factory the speed with which the work
is turned off Is an eye-opener. An inter
estlug part of the work is the making of
the button hole, all done by machine in a
twinkling, with little more than a move
ment by the operator. The buttons are
also put on by machinery in an interesting
manner. The button fastening is of a clasp
and rivet pattern aud is practically indie
struCtibe In the centre and on the west
side of the room are tables for arranging
the garments for shipment and racks for
storing them On the fourth floor are the
large piles of cloth, and the tables on which
the patterns are marked out The com
| pany uses about 1900 yards of cloth daily,
converting it into 80 TO - dozen gar
ments Thirty styles of cloth are used and
many different styles and sizes of goods
turned out, the variety being constantly
increased to meet the demand.
The business is an important addition TO
our local industries not only because it
| gives employment to so many hands, but
because 1t brings so much money into direct
circulation in Brattleboro Most of the
girl operatives earn from 81 % to 81 80 per
day, and as they all live here and spend
their money here the effect on the local
trade is no small item. The quarters of
the company are already inadequate for the
business, aud an enlargement in the near
future may be expected The orders for
the goods are for all quantities from sin
gle pair of overalls to upward of POO dozen
garments, and almost all of the orders are
from retail dealers.
1t will be surprise TO most people tC
know that the sales for this large trade are
almost entirely confined to New England
and eastern New York points For the
credit of the company it should be said thai
the reason for their rapidly growing bust
ness is found in the superior quality anC
variety of the goods made

BRATTLEBORO:
FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 20. 1891.

Still another new industry is coming over
from England under the new tariff law to
give employment to American workmen.
The Sir Titus Salts company Of Manchester,
England, manufacturers Of fine pushes,
have leased the old Howe sewing machine
works at Bridgeport, Conn, and will
bring their machinery over, giving EN-
poyment to a large number Of operatives.

Improved Chair for Theatres.

To the theatre managers of this
country is commended new form of
chair for use in theatres, music halls,
etc., which is now being introduced into
England. This chair is already in use
in several theatres in Germany, and is
intended not only to prevent panic in
case Of fire, ETC., by enabling the audi
ence to gain the exit doors more easily
than hitherto, but also to allow officials
of the theatres and members of the audi
ence to move with freedom from one
place to another.
For this purpose the seat and back of
the chair are free to move, and are con-
nected suitably together, SO that by
means of a counterbalance weight a
mere touch of the hand will cause the
seat and the back to move simultaneous
ly on hinges to a vertical position, the
seat by raising and the back by lower
ing, thereby allowing free passage along
or through the tiers. The very idea of
such device, when the absurd amount
of inconvenience and annoyance suffered
in comparative patience by the ordinary
theatregoer is considered, raises up Wis
ions of comfort and pleasure which it
seems hard to believe will ever be real

She is old, alone, almost homeless, and
often too i'll to continue the struggle

soliciting copying work and addressing
envelopes at a dollar thousand. Yet
twenty-five years ago this little wom-

throughout the country.
In 1853 she published what was the
pioneer work written in the interests of
women as breadwinners. The book was
called 1.-The Employments of Women. y
She sold the copyright for a tride, and
of the immense success which the book
enjoyed for ten years she received not a
penny. Twice was the work success
fully republished under the titles OF
Five Hundred Occupations for Women
and ''How Women Can Make Money

which was also very becoming to her style

exquisitely embroidered, over which was
thrown a short violet velvet mantle OF
slightly darker shade. The bonnet was

A Clever Collie.

T. Sidney Cooper, the English animal
painter, says that he often made valua-
BILE studies in Cumberland, at places
where Scotch drovers halted with their
cattle for the night On such occasions
he often had a chance to see illustra-
tions of an animals intelligence, as well
as of its physical perfection.
One day, when there was pouring
rain, man consented to sit for me at
the inn where was staying. He
brought his collie with him, and both of
them were dripping wet, SO he put off
his plaid and laid it on the floor by the
dog
made q very successful sketch of the
man, but before had finished it the dog
grew fidgety with the wet plaid, and his
master said, TAX it AVA, mon, TAX it
awa'!'
The dog took the end of it between his
teeth and dragged it out of the room.
After had finished the drover's por-
trait asked him if he thought his dog
would lie quiet for time, as I wished
to sketch him.
s.'Oh, yes, mon," he answered, "he'll
do anything say to him. Watch
Watchr he called, and then "whustled'
for him, as the Scotch say.
AS the dog did not appear, we went to
!, gether to look for him, and found hin
sitting before the kitchen fire with the
end of the plaid in his mouth, holding il
up to dry. / expressed my admiration
Of his intelligence, and the master re-
piled:
"Ah, he's canny creature, sir! He
knows mony things, does that dog, sir.
But come AVA, mon, the gentleman
wants to maxi your picture"
So we returned to my room, and the
handsome collie sat for his portrait.

According to the Revue Industrielle
some of the waste products resulting
from the manufacture of paper furnish
excellent material for cheap and efficient
tagging for steam pipes. The waste
products in question are chiefly those
coming from the different cleaning and
sorting machines which are of fibrous
nature. These, when dry, are mixed

four to one. enough water being after
