are well protected with patents. The
machine is built very heavy, every
part being designed to stand the wear
and strain of rapid work without dam

And now word about the
papers direct from the press and
delivers them ready for distribution
The illustration shows the folder attach
ed to the press. The machine was
manufactured by the Dexter Folder Co
of Fulton, New York, and is one of
their best-for the best is none too good
for the DEMOCRAT. The capacity of the
folder is limited only by the capacity of
the press. 1t will fold the DEMOCRAT in
it's present form, or will fold, trim and
paste eight pages at one operation.
The process of folding a paper is quite
interesting. The machine is attached
to the press and as soon as the paper is
printed it passes directly to the folder

niche the DEMOCRAT has fitted naturally
and permanently. Its growth has been
phenomenal. Six months after it began
its career as a daily paper it was found
necessary to secure faster press than
the one in use. A change was
made, the Campbell Oscillator giving
way to an intermediate, the
best press made by the Campbell COM
pany. For time all went well, but at
the beginning of the present year it be-
came evident that to meet the demands,
and in order that subscribers might be
served with their papers at seasonable
hour, a still faster press was necessary.
Then came the rub. There are presses
and presses. Each has its strong points,
while many possess Objectionable fea-
lures. After careful investigation our
order was given to the Babcock Print
ing Press Manufacturing Co to build
for the DEMOCRAT, one of its best and
fastest presses, double-feed Dispatch.
The machine was built at New London
and is the only one of its kind in Con
necticut. A description of the pless
will greatly interest printers.

patented device lifts them from the
form during the process of reversing
and puts them down again precisely as
one would INK a form with a hand
roller. The run of the bed is so short
that greater speed is attained than
the most expert feeder can equal
in placing the sheets in position. To
overcome this difficulty the inventor
fitted the press with donble feeding
device which is we'll illustrated by the
cut. One feeder places the sheets di-
rectIy to the cylinder; the other feeds to
an auxiliary cylinder which receives the
sheets alternately and transfers them in
perfect register to the main cylinder.
By this arrangement the press will
print and deliver the sheets as fast as
two expert feeders can place them.
The press also has an arrangement by
which in one minute the cylinder can
be set to take every sheet and the
auxiliary none or vice versa. This is in
case less speed is required or only one

THE RUSH FOR HOMES.
The New Lands in Oklahoma Opened
Amid Great Excitement.

GUTHRIE, o. T., Sept. 23.-With the
arrival of the noon hour yesterday thou
ands of home-seekers made a headlong
rush over the border into the lands
opened for settlement. The rush was a
mad one and was made so by the fact
that the number of home-seekers greatly
exceeded the number of quarter Sc ctions
available for settlement.
There was room in the new lands for
about 5000 settlers, allowing 100 acres
for each. There were on the border wait
ing to claim the available land fully
10, 900 people, making three persons for
each section.
The greatest rush was for the town
lots which the Government surveyors
have laid out so carefully, and not few
of which, despite the adoption of the ut
most precautions, will prove to have
fallen into the hands of spectators.
Out of the million acres and moro OF
new land two towns have been formed
and named, one being called Chandler
and the other the southernmost, Te
cumseh.

Protests Against the New Railroad.

NEW YORK, Sep. pa score or more
owners and masters of vessels, with resi-
dents of Lawrence and Far Rockaway,
met yesterday in the engineers room of
the United States Army building, and
laid before Lieut.. Col Gillespie protests
against the obstruction of navigation n
Jamaica Bay by the New York & Rocka-
way Railroad Company. There are two
draws in the railroad trestle crossing the
bay, one at what is known as Broad and
the other at Beach Channel. These
draws, it is alleged, are located in such
positions as to obstruct navigation.

a third pair of rollers and the papers are
then piled up ready for distribution.
A novelty upon this machine is a
continuance for Strengthening sheets
that are imperfectly fed. 1t is
covered by patents and consists of a side
gauge and two worm tapes. The in
slant the paper reaches the folder, and
before the:f first knife descends, the sheet
is squared up. This one point alone
easily places the Dexter folder in the
front rank.

his statement. Such a speed had never
before been attained by a single cylin-
der press. Seeing is believing. however,
and after inspecting two of the presses in
operation in New York, all doubts were
dispelled.
The trick is performed by the use of a

The Old Song.

Sing me the song that was often sung
In the olden time when we were young
The ballad mean with o soft refrain
That told story of Joy and pain,
OF faith restored after doubt and dread,
And love revived that was reckoned dead
I remember the touch of q minor key
In q gliding passage Of melody.
Yes, yes, that is it'll Go on-go on;
l will close minc eyes till the song be DONE
And fancy long years are only dream,
All, the past the present again doth seem
Shall YOU sing it once moreP you gently say.
Perhaps tomorrow but not to-day,
For the binding tears that freely flow
The spell Of the old, old song will show.
