What Chairman Cooper Thinks.

Cincinnati Special IN Pitts5urg Chronicle Telegraph
Collector Cooper, the chairman to-be of
the Pennsyl vania State committee seemed
much worked up over Governor Foraker's
speech of yesterday. Said he: THAT puts
Blaine in the light of a boss or dictator. 1
am satisfied that he will feel the cut For
aker gave Harrison worse than Harrison
will himself. There is no need of such
speeches. If Blaine wants the nomination
he can get it by coming out boldly and
above board and asking for it. The people
who are banking on Harrison and Blaine
falling out will be fooled. Neither one can
afford to fall out with the other.''

New Fibre Machine.

A new fibre machine has been invent
ed, according to the Stoves and Hard
ware Reporter, that will extract the
fibre from nearly all known fbrous
plants, leaving it clean and ready for
the market as soon as dry enough to
bale. Big leaves of cactus plants, prob
ably two feet in length and four inches
thick, are put in the machine, in few
seconds the fibre is extracted clean and
in perfect condition to dry, ready for bal
ing. Large banana stalks placed in the
machine come out in similar manner,
fully demonstrating the inventors claim
that the fibre can be extracted by the
machine from any known fbrous plant.
No skilled labor is required Any ordi-
nary boy or man can operate it, making
the expense of running it merely NOM
inal. The Importance of fibre is so we'll
known that little need be said. 1t is used
in the manufacture OF rope cordage of all
kinds, bags, bagging, carpet warps and
yarns. Large corporations have already
been organized, one in Mexico having a
capital stock of 100000 and are now
having 100 of these machines made.
