SPEED IN sTENOGRAPHY.

Some Criticisms Upon the Alleged
Performance of Three Hundred and
Fifteen Words a Minute.
In yesterday mornings issue of your pa
per we are Informed, writes a contributor
to the Chicago News, that Mr. Dement, of
of this city, in contest of speed between
stenographers at Dayton, O., wrote 315
words OF new matter in one minute
Whether MIR. Dement, was able to read his
writing after putting it on paper your in
formant saith not, but as it would amount
to nothing less than misomer to call it
stenography unless he could read it, we
are left to infer that he was capable of SO
doing. To persons not familiar with the
the art or science of stenography, this
statement may be received without ques-
ton, but few moments consideration will
convince any one that this extraordinary
s'sleight- of-hand" performance is not alto
gether founded on fact.
In the first place, persons who read this
item take it for granted that these 315
words are written in accordance with some
one of the many published systems of
shorthand, and as every known system is
composed of characters which in the aggre-
CRATE describe almost innumerable varia-
tions in the way of curves, right angles,
circles, dashes, dots, etc., and as it will be
found on trial that person in order to
count 315 in one minute must put his pow
ers of speech to a severe test, the mystery
which envelopes this surprising feat with
which Mr.. Dement, is credited is, to say the
least, something that one might be ex-
cnSAd for OlVlnO anO10Ov for akanti-
cism.
That there are various abbreviating dew
ices in every system of shorthand is we'll
understood, but it would hardly seem prob
able that any great advantage could be
gained in this way, as the passage was new
to Mr.. Dement, and probably not of his Sc
lection.
There seems to be but one way to ac-
count for this phenomenal exhibition. I'm
doubtedly Mr.. Dement, is an expert of the
first order; besides he has added many
contractions and authorizations on his own
account, and is by this means able to out
strip anything in the profession. Mr.. De-
ment may have made the record claimed
for him, and possibly be able to read his
own writing, but probably there is not
another stenographer in the world who
could decipher the 315 words This in the
common acceptation of the term, cannot be
called stenography. The fact that any in
dividual is able by the aid of powerful
memory, coupled with remarkable facul-
ty for substituting new signs and charac-
ters of his own invention, which he alone
can read, however much he may gain by
the process, cannot be classed with recog-
nized stenographers who follow an estab-
ished system and can read not only their
own writing, but can, with tolerab1e de-
gree of efficiency, read the writing of 9th
ers.

Ho! For Niagara Falls.

Niagara Falls is one of the world wide
wonders, of which every American is proud
to say che has visited" Grand and awe
inspiring, it seems to impress upon every
visitor feeling that there is an almighty
mind and presence, and one awakens to a
sense of great reality and tremendous
agencies working in the universe on view
ing this most marvellous work of nature.
Most every one sooner or later anticipates
seeing the Falls, and now the Hygeia and
Recreation company, 7. E. Peck manager,
SO well and favorably known, have planned
for four days visit, similar to the IA
NOUS Saratoga trips, starting Tuesday,
September %, thousand mile trip with
all expenses paid for SO. So many at
fractions are enumerated for the enjoy
ment of the visitor in wonders and sight
seeing, it is almost impossible here to
specify them. The advertisement in anoth-
or column gives details, while the circular
soon to be obtained at 702 Chapel street,
states quite fully the remarkable and bril-
liant features of the trip to be enjoyed. 1t
seems astonishing that so much can be.
provide for so little money.

Another Disappearance

Magnus Cook, laborer, who lives at
the corner of Church and George streets,
has been missing for the last three weeks.
He left his home on the Oath of August to
look for work in Mt. Carmel. Since his
departure his wife has had no word from
him and inquiries have failed to bring to
light any knowledge of his whereabouts.
His silence is SO far contrary to his pre-
vious habits that his wife believes some
accident has befallen him. He was not a
drinking man. Cook is Dane by ma
tionality, thirty eight years old, six feet
tall, and weighing 165 pounds. He has a
smooth face, of a blonde complexion, and
his eyes are blue. His hair was closely
cropped when he left town. His wife will
soon be in destitute circumstances unless
help is afforded her. She has a small
child five years old.

FLAUNTING A RED FLAG.

lord and Ex-AIderman Kenney.
Ex-Alderman John w. Kenney and
Charles Katch, who owns block on
George street, were startled by the action
of one of Katch's tenants, who persists in
Haunting the red flag on his place of bust
ness, above the stars and stripes. These
gentlemen decidedly object to the anarchist
emblem being elevated and given prece-
dence over the national flag. On Labor
day Otto Scheibel, the obnoxious tenant,
put up the red ensign for the first time on
Katch's block. In indignation ex-Alder-
man Kenney ran to Mayor Sargent to have
it ordered taken down. The mayor refused
to act,as did also Superintendent Bollman.
Then Mr.. Katch hauled down the symbol
of violence, after which Mr.. Scheibel
hoisted it again. Thus the contest pro-
coded back and forth. Ex-Alderman Ken
ney is still indignant over Mayor Sargent's
