A NEW ELEVATOR.
One That Fulfills all the Require
ments Demanded.

One That FulfiIls all the Require
ments Demanded.
Mr.. III. d. Kampmann has named
his fine four-story building on Hous-
ton street, the "Bexar block" He has
introduced O great novelty in the
building, In the form of an electric
elevator, made of light but strong
oxidized copper.
The elevator ia the first one ever
put in any building in the south, and
was manufactured In Chicrgo by the
Yale Elevator company. 1t is worked
entirely by electricity, the power
coming from the power house on Viii
lita street, and passing through
small and very compact machinery
placed in the cellar of the building.
Its capacity is 1900 pounds weight and
its speed can be made as high as $50
feet per minute. There is absolute
safety and simplicity in its working,
and child can operate 1t. When the
car reaches the top or bottom of its
course it stops automatically and can
be stopped instantly, but without a
jolt, at any point in Its progress. Ii
the current should suddenly cease, by
accident or otherwise, the car would
stop Immediately, hence, there is no
danger of disastrous drop.

I was fourteen and he was twenty
one years of age. He had served his
time at bootmaking, saved q little
money and came to obtain q know
ledge of bookkeeping principally,
though ether studies were taken up
by him. His penmanship, in the eyes
of the school, before he left was some
thing wonderful. 1 lost sight of him
for few years after he left school,
and when l heard of him again he had
resumed his trade and was apparently
contented. When 1 met him again
he informed me he was in the employ
of Hout Brothers, in the Swamp as
he called 1t, and was now where he
wanted to be. His success followed.

often after he purchased his house In

always referred to our 'schoolboy
days, as he termed them, with great
pleasure, but never said aught about
himself more than to say that he was
doing we'll and satisfied.
