The Automatic Library,

New varieties OF the "penny-in-the
slot" machine continue to appear,
with somewhat bewildering multiple
ity-for the convenience of the public
and the profit OF the patentees, says
the London Graphic The latest APP
plication OF the principle is the ''R all
way Automatic Library" which we
may shortly expect to see in railway
carriages everywhere. Nothing could
be simpler than the new apparatus.
1t is merely an oblong box, in sections
OF varying numbers, fitted with glass
fronts. Each box forms a library in
brief.
The Traveller who finds himself I'M
provided with the wherewithal to re-
lieve the tedium of a long journey has
but to take a survey of the books be-
fore him, the titles being plainly visible
through the glass front, select accord
ing to his Individual taste, and then
put in his penny, After that he slides
a knob edgeways, the front of the box
tits forward, and the passenger can
take out the book of his choice. When
he has done with the book he presses
it against a spring at the back. The
section then closes. It is proposed to
renew the contents OF the apparatus
at stated periods. The automatic
library will soon be made in shapes
more suited to the mantlepiece or
table, to be placed in hotels, clubs,
waiting-rooms- anywhere, in fact,
where it is likely to be used.
1t Picks up Paper Sheets:
1t is well-known scientific fact that
a ruler made of hard rubber or gutta
percha may be so charged with cleo
tricity by friction with a wooden cloth
that it will cause to be attracted to it
small pieces of paper.
This fact has been made use of in a.
machine recently devised to pick up
separately single sheets OF thin and
light material, ikepaper, light fabrics,
etc., in such a manner that each sheet
may be removed and examined.
This machine consists of a roller
formed OF substance capable of being
charged with electricity, and a roller
covered with fur which is rotated at
high speed. During the operation the
electrified roller approaches the pile of
paper by the action Of an eccentric,
and attracts the upper sheet, the next
sheet below being repealed by the we'll
known laws of electricity.
The first sheet now falls upon a con-
trivance which is inserted in. the
meantime between the pile and the
detached sheet, and can easily be re-
moved or fed into a ruling machine if
desired. H. - ass

The Manufacture of Netting.

AiIS "oIlNI dSloI . VI NSItlIlSs
The new and ingenious method Of
manufacturing netting, by Sitting and
expanding sheet metal, recently orr
glnated by an English inventor, is
likely to revolutionize that industry.
In this process a peculiar machine is
employed, which SO operates on a
sheet or strip OF metal as to slash it
at intervals in parallel lines,
so as to leave uncut spaces, w hich
serve to maintain the connection be-
tween the strands produced by the
act OF slashing movement being
such as makes Impossible to transform
the sheet or strip of metal into fin
ished article at incorporation, to
which fact is due the peculiar value OF
the invention; in a. word. the novel
and remarkable result is produced
by the simultaneous act of slash
ing and opening or expand
ing the sheet at the slashes,
leaving uncut spaces, and giving uni
form design and set to the metal form
ing the meshes. Any homogeneous
metal, such as steel, copper, brass,
etc., can be employed. The machines
automatically feed strip of steel be-
tween their cutters, which simultane-
ously slash and expand the metal in
to meshes; these stri ps may be of any
width, from 1 to inches or wider, the
ratio of expansion being determined
by the size of the mesh. Thus, a strip
OF steel 7 inches wide by 9 feet long,
made into %-inch mesh for lathing,
gives as a result sheet OF finish pro-
duct Is inches wide and about 5 per
cent shorter than the original strip,
whereas a strip of metal inches wide
and 9 feet long, made into a 4-inch
mesh for fencing gives as a result
sheet with the dimensions of 4 feet
wide by feet long.

ACp6 Up
for years-the offer that's made by
the proprietors of DR.. Sage's Ca
tarrh Remedy. It's addressed to
yoat, if you have Catarrh. It's a
reward of $500, if they can't cure
you, no matter how bad your case,
or of how long standing-an offer
that's made in good faith by re-
sponsible men.
Think what it means! Absolute
confidence in their Remedy, or they
couldn't afford to take the risk. A
long record of perfect and perma-
nent cures of the worst cases-or
they couldn't have faith in it. 1t
means no more catarrh or $500.
If you fail to be cured, you won't
fail to be paid.
But perhaps you won't believe it.
Then there's another reason for try
ing it. Show that you can't be
cured, and you'll get $500. It's a
plain business offer. The makers
of DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy will
pay you that amount if they can't
cure you. They know that they
can-you think that they can't. If
they're wrong, you get. the cash. If
you're wrong, you're rid of catarrh.

what I get it for =.
could I ever, ma am-would they
ever give me money for it? I do want
so to help mother, and she always
says, Plenty of time but / do want
SO to get some, and can't do any
thing only tidy room; that's all. -
And Ida sighed.
swell, then, will you help me tidy
mine? we'll see, dear, about the money
part of the business. Mothers in
such a nice nap; it would be pity to
wake her up now.
With all her heart the little girl as
sented to the proposal. She was never
SO happy as when occupied; and the
unfortunate disqualification under
which she labored seemed to make her
only the more eager to assert her
capability. She inWardly sighed over
the reflection that all seemed bent on
discouraging her, but none the less did
she endeavor to acquit herself to her
kind shostess's satisfaction.
Mrs. Stocker, meanwhile, was re-
svolving plan in her own mind, which
was claiming consid erably more Of her
thoughts than the unseemly disfgure-
ment which went so i'll with her still
pretty though faded features. But it
was not her way to think much
about the mischief after it was done,
and, perhaps, there was something in
that plea Of hers, perpetually rendered
to the bench or the inspector, that

times, and Bill wasn't all to blame. 8

Connecticut western news., 1891-03-25

Hennessy arrested Esposito in Jackson square and that Detective Mooney, of New York, took him oH hoard steamer bound for New York the next morning. Mooney claimed all the credit for the arrest upon his arrival in New York, and Hennessy re- ceived no reward for the capture of Espo- sito. The picture which appears in this article is of Parkerson, leader of the vigil ance committee which shot or hung the Italians.
 The committee which had charge of the movement against the men accused of the assassination of Hennessy is now investi- gating the jury, so as to learn if any of them were bribed. The jurors will be summoned and will be asked to give their explanation of the verdict. Nearly all the jurors, including the foreman (Seligman), who has left town, have made statements of what took place in the jury room.
 Those who voted for acquittal insist that the judge instructed them to give the pris- oners the benefit of doubt, and that their verdict was based on these instructions. They voted for acquittal because they did not think the state had made out the case.
 The refusal of the district attorney tC summon the witnesses who were the first at the scene of the assassination and who picked up Hennessy, among whom was Officer Boe, who was shot in the ear by one of the assassins, impressed them unfavor- ably. So far none of the jurors has shown any weakening

Mrs, Schmidt on Trial.

PHILADELPHIA, March 23.-Mrs. Caro- line Schmidt, who, jointly with her hus- band, is charged with the murder of Emma Pftzenmeyer at Chester on the early morn ing of Dec. 4, is on trial here. The prose cution expects to trace the victim, the sis ter of Mrs. Schmidt, from the door of the German ballroom, which she attended with her sister on the Hateful night of the tragedy, to the Schmidt residence, at No. 7O4 Edgemont avenue, leaving Mrs. Schmidt at the ball, and finding the brother-in-law at home. It is to be shown then Cf the states theory is sustained) that Schmidt. finding the opportunity fa- vorable, broke his husbands VOW, that the dead girl forgot long debt of grati- tude to loyal and helpful sister, who had sheltered her from slander's tongue by taking her to her own fireside and that the enraged wife slew her.

DEATH OF GEN. JOS. E. JOHNSTON.

Heart Failure and the General Debility
 of old Age End the Career of One of
 the Lost Cause's Most Famous Leaders.
 Handicapped by Davis Enmity.
 WASHINGTON, March 2a-General Joseph l. Johnston died shortly after Il o'clock Saturday night, March 21, at his residence on Connecticut avenue. The immediate cause of death was heart failure, the result of degeneration of the heart, due in meas ure to a cold contracted some weeks ago, but more particularly due to extreme old age. At times for about two years General Johnston has shown unmistakable signs of general breaking down. His mind often became bewildered so that he could not tell where he was or how he came there While his friends and attendants knew that he might pass away at any time, yet they had had no warning that the end was so near. Governor Mclean entered the room at a little after Il o'clock, and as he approached the generals bedside he heard an almost inaudible sigh, and the general was dead.

ALL DOUBT DISTILLED.
Wright Was Evans, but Why Did Wright
 Kill Himself?


 Kill Himself?
 NEW YORK, March 19.-The body of Fred Evans, of England" the mysterious Astor House suicide, has been finally and fully identified as Wright, the supposed murderer of Ruttinger. The former ac- quaintances of Wright yesterday viewed the remains of the supposed ''Fred Evans." which were exhumed at Hart's Island and brought to the city morgue.
 All identified the body as that of the man Wright whom they had met and con- versed with but such short time ago. Not one of those who viewed the remains entertained the least doubt but that in Evans" they had found the lost Wright. The mystery as to why Wright killed himself and concerning the murder of his friend Ruttenger is still unexplained.
