papers in remote suburbs, where a news
stand does not pay and which the abiqui-
tous newsboy does not penetrate. 1t can
be made of iron and placed on the street
corners or at cross roads. 1t will al
ways keep its papers dry and clean in
spite of weather, while the newsboy often
gets them wet and muddy.
There's millions in it," as remarked
the immortal Colonel Sellers. Suppose a
machine has space for 100 copies of each OF
four daily papers selling at only 1 cent
each. The machine gets half cent on
each paper it sells. If it sells ali. it clears
81 day, which is equal to $50 year.
The route agent has simply to place his
bundle of papers in the box and slam the
door, which closes with spring lock.
The trouble is no greater than that of de-
livering to a newsagent. The machine
needs no more attention until the collector
of the operating company comes around
to empty the cash box and adjust the ma
chinery for the next spell of work. It's a
pretty good newsboy who can sell as many
papers in day as one of these machines,
and one man can take care of fifty or 100
machines while they are doing the work
of as many newsboys. 1t is safe to say
that every machine will, in the first year,
pay first cost. all expenses of operation
and an enormous profit.
Mr.. Moran is now in the East and will
be Joined by Mr.. Durie in Chicago in a
few days. They will at once begin intro
ducing the machines by organizing sub
sidiary companies for its operation in all
sections of the country.

THE CORPSE FROM GREEN RIVER.
Probably a Laborer Who Fell In-The
Face Unrecognizable.

Face UnrecOgnizable.
Coroner Horton returned last night
from Eagle Gorge, on the Northern Pa
cifc railway where he went in answer to
a telegram stating that a man dead had
been found in Green river. He said on
his arrival:
The body was doubtless that of q laborer on
the Northern Pacific grade, but he was not one
of the victims of the Canton disaster of q few
months ago. 1t was found in the water below a
huge jam of logs and rubbish about two and a
half miles below the Canton slide, and it would
have been quite impossible for the body to have
gotten through this jam. The mans hat was
found near the body. and this is another evil
dence that he did not come down the river two
and half miles Decomposition had long since
made the features unacceptable, and there
was nothing to indicate his identity.
The theory, however, is that the man was
one of gang OF sixty-three laborers which was
recruited in Tacoma on November last by
Thomas Haneahan to work on the railroad A
little above the place where the body was found
the workmen had tied the ends of several logs
together for a temporary bridge to cross the
river. As the logs were slippery they always
took off their boots to cross over, and this man
might easily have slipped off and drowned with
out anyone knowing it. As he was in his stock
ing-feet when taken out, and as someone in the
camp udu HeutlOueu Oue HlOrulng IN November
that he thought he heard man fall into the
river the night before, this theory Is generally
believed.
He was a small man, apparently smooth
shaved, and light-complexioned. He wore Ia
borer's clothes and had white SLOUGH hat
The coroner held no inquest, but had
the body buried near the river. Two dol
lars in silver and a scrap of paper with
the dates "Nov. 9-11-20," and five tally
marks after, was all that was found on the
body.

FRANKLIN WILL PROSECUTE.
Having Recovered He VIII Try to Con
vict His Assaiiant.

William Franklin. the negro who was
dangerously wounded by Charles Harrison,
also colored, in shooting ARRAY last
January at Newcastle, has sufficiently re-
covered to be about. He will appear in
Justice Neagle's court this afternoon TO
prosecute his assailant upon charge OF
assault with a deadly weapon.
Franklin was shot in the left arm, near
the shoulder, and for time it was thought
that he would lose his arm. A month
ago he was removed from Providence
hospital by certain of Harrison's friends,
who sought to get him out of the way, SO
that he could not prosecute his assailant.
He was found a week later by Constable
Terry King in South Seattle at the point
of death. He had been sadly neglected,
and the physician who was called in de-
clared that he could not live. He has
pulled through, however, and now says
that he is going to see that Harrison pays
dearly for shooting him.

MONITOR AND MERRIMAC FIGHT.
Description OF Modern Naval Battle.
Ships-Boys Make Pandemonium.


The Armory was packed last night with
people eager to listen to Captain H. e. w.
Campbeil's description of the engagement
between the Merrimac and Monitor dur
ing the civil war, and his lecture on coast
defenses and modern guns and war ves-
sells. The lecture was illustrated by
means of calcium light pictures, and was
very instructive.
The speaker described the Merrimac and
Monitor in detail and gave a very good
account of the battle, which he viewed
from the shore. He then described the
various kinds of torpedoee and guns,
showing the progress which is constantly
being made in the manufacture of offensive
and defensive weapons of warfare. He
described every style of war vessel and
torpedo boat now in use or under con-
struction in the United States. and said
that the protection of the country de-
manded at least sixty cruisers and twenty
battle ships in addition to the extensive
harbor defenses for the Pacific coast.
The discourse was well received, but No
less than 400 boys were present and their
continual shouting, whistling, cat-callIng
and romping around became unbearable
and many people left the hall before the
lecture was near ended. The speaker ap-
pealed to them several times for order. but
without avail, and at the conclusion he
was almost exhausted by his effort to
speak loud enough to be heard above the
fearful din
