The weekly Capital.

After many solicitations on the
part Of our friends and the assur-
ance from quite number OF
the farming fraternity of
their earnest support, We
have begun the issue to day of a
weekly edition in conjunction with
the DAILY CAPITAL, which has now
been published successfully for more
than eight years. 1t has long been
our intention to publish a weekly
with the daily, and many persons
have wondered how we have ever
succeeded with the daily without the
weekly-as the one always goes in
conjunction with the other. When
we enlarged our daily about year
ago, we then made every arrange
ment to start weekly, but did not
feel justified ut that time, in adding
additional costs and labors to our
then over urdenedmind and body:
but having since then
made arrangements for assistance in
the editorial and local departments
of our work, we feel better able to
enter upon the undertaking.
We hope to make the WEEKLY
CAPITAL an acceptable visitor to
every household in the county.
While its tone and utterancss politi-
cally will be in behalf of Demo
cratic principles, it will at all times
endeayor to avoid personalities. We
believe in Jeffersonian democracy
the greatest good to the great mum
Der, and shall at all times contend
for those rights which guarantee to
every citizen civil and religious liber-
ty. We propose to make the WEEK
LIZ CAPITAL Il general newspaper, de-
voted to the interests of the city,
county and State, and hope to re-
ceive by its merits liberal share of
the public's patronage.

A Ma chine Which is Expected to Revo.
lutionize the Lumber Businasa

A Ms chine Which is Expected to Revo.
lutionize the Lumber Business.
New YORK, Nov. 15.-There was exhib-
tied Friday at Green Point, L. l., a ma.
chine which is expected to revolutionize the
lumber business This machine cuts lum-
Der without waste, and there is no sawdust
whatever. The new invention, which is
called the Bradley draw cutting machine,
is designated TO cut thin boards and planks,
and will cut in different thicknesses, vary
ing from one-thirty-second Of an inch
to an inch. The inventor is
Thomas S. Crane, an old
lumber man. The workings of the machine
ct first look complicated, but after it is once
in operation the simplicity of It's movement
is apparent. The wood is cut by knife.
This knife is on slide, while above it is an
other slide. 1t gets its weight from very
heavy cross-head, which Is connected by a
rod. just in front of the knife Is a narrow
roller, which touches the log before the knife
reaches it, and steadies it. The knife gets
its horizontal motion from this connecting
rod, and it slides back and forth very
smoothly. The difficulty is in getting
vertical or draw motion. This is necessary
in order not to injure the fiber of the woods
1t is provided for in this way. Above the
upper slide is drum which is moved by a
wire rope, back and forth as the cross-head
and the knife move. The drum is connected
by wires with spring that hangs directly
over the knife, and as the drum revolves
the spring contracts or lengthens, giving
the draw motion. The log that is being
cut is held fast by clamps to feeding
machine which is driven by two clamps.
The desired thickness Is procured
by using different sized cogs The feeding
machine and the cutter are both run by the
same engine. Every time the knife cuts off
quarter Of an inch, or whatever the de-
sired thickness may be. the log is pushed
forward that quarter OF an inch. When
the machine is in operation it looks very
much like big knife running in groove
and cutting cheese. To-day the machine
cut cherry. ash, birch and maple. in thick
nesses from a sixteenth TO half inch. The
machine is intended to be placed in the
woods and to cut the trees as soon as they
are feIled. Green wood is cut more easily
than seasoned wood, but logs were cut up to-
day that had lain In the yard ten years. The
machine weighs forty tons.

Her Father is Said to Be Worth More

From The Ne,C York Recorder.
PITTsBURG, Nov. 1S-Miss Maggie Bark
ley, aged 26 years, died at the Pittsburg
poor farm on Monday last OF consumption.
To-day the story Of her life came out
through remark made by Undertaken
Flannery, who declared the young woman
was the daughter Of a Brooklyn man worth
$4,000 From an investigation made to-
night, 1t appears that Miss Barley came to
Plttsburg last May.
She had for five years been domestic in
the family OF Mrs. Kellogg of New York,
bilts.
Mrs. Kellogg advised her to leave New
York for the benefit of her health, as the
glrl was showing symptoms of consump-
ton.
WENT TO LIVE WITH HER AUNT.
This Miss Barley did, taking up her
home at 4O4 Fifth avenue, Pittsburg, with
an aunt. Mrs. Mary A. Ferrigan. Mrs.
Kellogg very kindly supplied her with
money from time to time.
Several weeks ago she became so poorly
that she was sent to the homeopathic Hos
pital. After time she was discharged from
that institution, but subsequently sought re-
admission.
On account of some technicality this was
refused, whereupon the girl applied to the
city authorities and was admitted to the
poor house.
The girls story as related tonight at the
Ferrigan residence by Mrs. Mink, who lives
In the same house, was that her parents left
her with relatives in Ireland when she was
years old, the Barkleys emigrating to
America.
EARNED HER PASSAGE OVER.
The mother died in Brooklyn and the
father remarked. The daughter was, for
some reason, not sent for, but at the age of
16, having earned the money as a servant,
she came to America.
She claimed that her father would not re-
ceive her and she had to earn her own liveli-
hood.
Undertaken Flannery says: ION Miss
Barkley's death, Mr. Barley, who is worth
fully S4OO, 900. was notified by telegraph but
sent no reply"
Another telegram was sent him and that
time he telegraphed:
BURY her, expense not to exceed $50"
Chief Elliott was notified, and Barley
viii have to pay for the maintenance of his
daughter at the poor farm.

Concise,

A teacher in a suburban school not
long ago, according to the Youths
Companion, gave her pupils twelve
minutes in which to write an lab
stract." A shoe was the subject Sc
lected by her and the boys we're to
write in the first person. No limit to-
the number of lines or words was
given them. "
Most of the boys wrote and erased
during the whole time allotted, but
the teacher noticed one fellow who
sat idle until the time was within two
minutes of expiring. AS the scholars
filed out she said to him: "Brown,-
did you finish your abstract?" =
Eyes, ma am," he answered..
Curious to see what he could have
written in so short a time, she looked
over the papers and found this:
q am aworn-out shoe; my coffin is:
the ash-barrel; my grave, the dump"
She says that almost as firmly i'm
pressed on her memory as this re
markab!e composition is the express
sion OF amazement on the boys face
the next morning when he saw the
"1OO' mark on his paper.

The Origin Of Petroleum,

Many persons are disposed to call
petroleum coal oil, under the impress
sion that it comes from coal and has
a vegetable origin. This is not, how
ever, the view, commonly, of geolo-
gists and other scientists. They hold
that it is OF animal origin and comes
of the fat OF the animals whose
remains We're, ages ago, covered with
sediment at the bottom of the sea-,
which sediment was subsequently
solidiied into sandstone and other;
kinds of stone. The geological condi-
