A NEW TYPEWRITER.
One That Can Be Used on Record
Books and Documents.

Since the introduction of type wrIting ma.
chimes and their universal acceptance by the
business world, II has been the aim OF inventors
everywhere to produce typewriter capable OF
use on books Of record and insurance policies
and other large documents of varying sizes. In
all the attempts that have been mad to bring
abOu practical machine of this character
two obstacles have seemed insuperable, viz,
tntrlcacy and great expense. Both OF these
barriers have now been overcome by j. NJ.
CrarY OF this city. For upward of xix years Mr.
Crazy mas expended all OF his inventive and
mechanical energy and many thousands OF
dollars In perfectiDg the typewriter, which is
now being manufactured and Will soon be
placed on the market. His first patent on this
machine was issued on June 81, 1892, and
cOnd patent, securing complete protection,
was granted but few weeks ago.
Only three Of these typewTiters have thus far
been exhibited and one Of these was seen by

celluloid keys, the arrangement of which brings
those keys striking vowels and other much

also Is The ribbon attachment for writing with
ink of any desired color. The removal OF
black ribbon, for instance. and the substitution

In this new machine perfectly fiat patens,

PREHISTORIC , RACES.
Relics of Them Found in
Arizona.
A Party Being Formed to Explore
the Village Where the Queer
People Once Lived.

PRESCOTT, Arz., Nov. 25.-Rscent ar
rivals from thu Bradshaw Mountains re-
port the discovery of cliff dwellero' vii
lage in one of the most inaccessible
canyons Of that range, which has never
before been seen by white men. The dis
cOvery was made by two prospectors,
White and Williams. who did not attempt
a thorough exploration, but from their de-
scription this is the largest village of the
wonderful people that has ever been dis
covered.
The village is located along the high
banks on either side of Willow canyon, and
the houses are estimated to be 260 In num-
DER. 1t is very difficult to reach this
canyon, even with pack animals, which &C
counts for its having SO long remained IN
discovered.
There are three natural terraces along
the canyon wall, aud the dwellings open
back from. these. Narrow steps in the
rock, now almost worn away seem to indi-
cate that this was the method employ ed
for ascent and descent.
Several of the houses were explored and
large quantities of pottery and soma in
struments evidently used for cuIivating
the soil were found. In one the skeleton
of man not over feet inches in
height was discovered.
The canyon at this place is half a mile
wide and shows evidence of having been
cultivated. If this story proves to be true,
it will throw new light Oh the habits of
this little-known people. So far as known,
no other evidence has ever been discovered
of the cliff-dwellers having cultivated the
soil. A party is now being organized TO
thoroughly explore The new-found village,
and the result of their research will be
awaited with interest.

WRECKAGE FOUND
From the IiI=Fated Ship
Ivanhoe.
LOST BEYOND ALL DOUBT.
Evidently Went to Pieces on
Vancouver Island.

The Indians on the Coast Are Sup

A SEARCHING STEAMER OUT.

SEATTLE, Wash, Nov. pa special to
the Post-Intelligencer from Victoria says:
That the Wreckage reported ashore on the
northwestern end of Y ncouver Island is
that of the Inflated Ivanhoe is now proven
beyond a doubt. and when the steamer
Mischief returns it is more than probable
that CAPITALS Foot. her master, will have
some definite news OF the fate of this long
missing vessel
The coasUirg steamer Maude returned
tonight from the west coast. having gone
as far north as Kyukot Sound. The
weather during the trip was too rough to
permit of much investigation, and the
captain had not heard before starting of
the reports brought by the steamer Mys-
terry last week.
Almost his first words on landing were,
however, of the Ivanhoe. 81 guess there
Is no further hOre for the Ivanhoe," he
said. 'She's made another of the long list
of vessels battered TO pieces on the west
coast of this island. When we were at
Barclay Sound we heard of her. Two
white miners called last Tuesday at an In
dams hut near the entrance TO the sound.
and hanging on the wall the first thing
they noticed in she place was one of the
lvanhoe's life buoys.
There was no doubt as to the identity
as the ships name and her port were
clearly marked. They waited for some
time for the Indians to return so that they
might question them regarding the buoy,
but all hands were away fishing and there
was no knowing when they would be
back. The men looked around, but could
see no other signs of wreckage, SO they
came down ana reported what they had
seen to me, requesting that l make known
the fact CD reaching port. AS a large
number OF Indians along Barclay Sound
just now have recently arrived from
further up the coast. it is most likely that
the lvanhoe's buoy had been brought
down from Kyukot or Cape Scott. l had
not heard of the wreckage found there, as
reported by the steamer Mystery's en-
gineer, but this would appear to corrob-
orata it and settle its Identity as that Of
the Ivanhoe."

THE PHYSICIAN ASSAULTED.
An Irate Sea Captain Chews His
Ear.
WINDOWS BROKEN WITH STONES
The Mariner Wanted His Wife and
the Mob Wanted to Hang
the Physician.

DR.. Potter, the eminent physician IN
charge of the Home for Inebriates at North
Beach, had more excitement crowded into
a brief half-hour of his existence last night
than most men have in a lifetime. The
doctor is very far from being pOpu-
lar, and stories of the brutal
treatment which patients receive at
his hospital prison may be heard at
any time by any one interested in the
matter. The feeling against him mani
tested Itself in violence last night He
was assaulted in the home, and a great
crowd that gathered outside clamOred for
the destruction OF the institution and
commenced the work by smashing some of
the windows with paVing-stOnes.
1t appears that among those who cher ish
a desire to rid the earth of the doctor and
his home is sea captain named Harring-
ton, who resides, when in town, at the
Commercial The mariners wife has for
some time been incarcerated at the North
Beach home, for what reason is not known,
and whenever he imbbes too freely of the
cup that inebria es he attempts to see her.
He went there on such an errand last
night, and was, as usual, refused permits
sion TO see the woman while under the
influence of liquor. His wrath boiled
over, and he fell upon Potter and bit the
superi ntendent's ear.
A lively fracas ensued. Attendants
rushed to Potter's assistance, and the tu-
multi within was heard by passers-by on
the street outside. A great crowd gath
cred around the house. and when Har-
ringtOn emerged breathing out threaten
ing slaughter against Potter cries OF
"Hang himP "He's no good" Tear it
down" went up from many throats.
The screams of woman inside stirred
the mob to fury and voley OF stones was
fired at the building. Several windows
were shattered by the missiles and the
cries OF the angry assembly grew louder.
Finally the police appeared and quelled
the incipient riot. Harrington had skipped
away and the crowd melted like snow In
the face Of a summer sun. One man was
seized and throgn in a patrol wagon, but
Potter pleaded for him and he was re-
leased. 1t is probable that charge of
mayhem will be made against Harrington.

Ordnance Officers Have Found One
That Fills the Bill.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 25.-After long ex-
pertinent ana much competition the army
ordnance'of officers have found a type of dis
appearing carriage for the ten-inch sea-
coast rifles, which in simplicity Of opera
ton and economy of power fills the re-
quirements. 1t is what is known as the
Burlington Crisier carriage, the invention
of two expert ordnance officers.
Some time ago proposals were invited
for the construction of ten of these car
riages, and to-day the bids were opened
The interest In the matter was shown by
the unusually large number of bids and by
the attendance at the opening Of many
representatives OF the bidders. Contrary
to expectations the lowest bid came from
a Western firm. the Kilby Manufacturing
Company of Cleveland at So. $50 each.
Other bids ranged as high as 3d. 600.

LONDON. Nov. 25.-Business at the
