roll of full width, Al inches, can be printed
on either press, or roll of half width
Thus, in printing a ten-page paper, the web
from a roll of full width is fed into the
lower press, which prints and cuts the
e19ht-page part, and web from a roll only
half as wide is fed into the upper machine.
which prints the two-page part. Each Of
these double presses has a capacity of print
ing in an hour from 24,000 to 10000 four,
six or eight-page papers, or from 1900 TO
l5,OO0 ten, twelve or sixteen-page papers.
These presses are the first ever constructed
on this pattern. 1t is generally conceded by
men familiar with the printing art that the
best printing has been done on what is
known as the angie-bar press These new
presses are simply a combination each of
two angle-bar presses. The idea of putting
one press upon another had been success
fully carried out before these presses were
constructed. The way it was done was to
build superstrIcture upon an old press.
In the case of The Star presses however
the two printing machines combined In each
press were designed and constructed from
the start with the view to being operated
together In the manner described, and they
nave many improvements in mechanism
making their work certain and facilitating
the operation of changing from one press to
another or varying the speed. The great
problem has been to construct press that
would print, fold and paste all at one time
papers of any number of pages likely to be
required, and this new Potter press has
solved the problem.
Mr.. John Brooks, the superintendent of
the Potter Manufacturing Company, who
has been in Washington supervising the in
stallatton OF these new presses Is much
pleased with the result of the years work
of the Potter company. '"rhe machines"
he said. speaking to a Star reporter, ARE
constructed on modern principles Every
part OF the press is manufactured from the
best machinery steel. every box and bearing
is OF phosphor bronze, every part of the
press has been the subject of careful study
and has been constructed of the best ma
terial and with the utmost care The Pot
ter company feels proud of the work done
Tor the presses are undoubtedly as fine
pieces Of machinery as were ever con-
structed."
With these presses In operation Evening
Stars can be delivered at the room where
they are given to newsboys and carriers
as rapidly az q large force Of men and boys
can distribute them. The Evening Star
Company has expended In the iI terest of its
readers much thought and money upon the
perfectfng of Its mechanical equipment with
the view to having The Star printed and
distributed every evening In the shortest
space OF time. The present plant repre-
sents all that inventive genius and money
have yet been able to devise to expedite the
printing of papers.

MISSED THE DOODLE.

Tho Men Who Robbed the eli" Didn't
"Get There" in Such Great Shape After
All.
ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, Jan. IA package
of money amounting to $4,000 lying
under the stove in the express car is
what the train robbers did not get
when they held up the Hannibal & ST.
Joseph ELI train, ? miles east of this
city Wednesday night. When the train
stopped and the bandits began firing,
Express Messenger Wetzel prepared
himself accordingly. His safe was open
and at the side was $4,000 package
consigned to the Commercial national
bank of Chicago. He hastily kicked
this under the stove. Only one small
safe is carried on the train, and he
contained but S47.S This he readily
gave to the men, and they left evident
ly satisfied that they had Sc
cured all there was to get. When
Postal Clerk Gage realized that
the train was being held up he
barred all the doors of his
car and, securing his revolver, pre-
pared to defend the heavily-loaded reg
istered pouches in his charge. The
robbers did not come near him, how
ever, and they missed another rich
prize in consequence. The registered
pouches were the most valuable sent
out of this city in months. 1t is now
evident that the job was the work of
local talent and the men are now in
the city.

is that the bomb was deposited while

COLLEGE GIRLS REVENGE.
The President Was Punished and the Girls
Were Happy.

| The President Was Punished and the Girls
Were Happy.
"They may talk about the college
boys and their hazings and tricks, but
for real genuine fun you can't beat the
college girl" said a young freshman
the other day. Last year-you know
the mems college is right near our SEM
mary, and SO they call on us every
evening-the president made a new
rule.
HE declared that we must dismiss
our guests at $50, and we decided we
would not do it. After great deal of
plotting and planning we hit upon a
delightful plan, and it was great
success. The boys secured a big bas-
for us. and this we hid during the day
and at night fastened to two great
hooks on the sill of our study window.
The boys sent up their cards in the
basket, and then after inspecting
them with lantern to make sure they
were not burglars we hauled them up.
But one night the grave and digni-
fed president caught us and planned a
little surprise for us. He found one of
the boys cards in our rooms and placed
it in the basket. 1t worked beautiful
~ and we hauled him half way up be-
fore any one thought of using the lam
tern. Then Miss Flyaway held it out
the window and took a peep at him.
One glance at the spectacles and bald
head was enough. It was lucky for
that president that we did not let him
fall to the ground in our horror and
amazement, but we held on to the
ropes until we decided what to do.
eve couldn't let him down again. he
would only come up and catch us, and
we couldn't drop him, bad as he was,
and we certainly didn't intend to help
him carry out his plan by hauling him
up, SO we compromised by securing the
ropes and letting him hang there ins
midair. He begged and implored to be
let down, offered us any bride we could
wish for, and wasted more eloquence
on us in that first hour than he did
during his yearly lectures. But we
had no visitors that night; he amused
us and we wanted revenge, so we left
him. He tried to jump, to climb down
the wall and up on the rope, but failed
in everything. At last he howled,
yelled like an Indian till everyone in
the town was aroused, and even the
boys turned cut to see the terror OF
their worst Nightmares, crimson with
rage, suspended in midair in clothes

MURDEROUs MARAUDERs.

Desperate Work of Four st. Louis County
(nIo.) Negroes-Three Persons dubbed
Farmer, His Wife and Hired Man
the Victims of a Gang of BIoodthirsty
Kobbers-The Farmhouse Plundered.
ST. LOUIS, Jan. 12-At Z o'clock
Wednesday night four negroes APP
peared at the residence of Farmer
Benne, one-half mile south of Floris.
SAINT, St Louis county. They inquired
of the hired man if the farmer was at
home. Receiving an affirmative an
swer, one entered the house while the
other three set upon the hired man
with clubs. He was pounded into help
lessness and left lying on the ground.
Following the first the other three
also entered the house, where Mrs.
Benne was found. She is 65 years old
and feeble, but this was no bar to the
quartet They dubbed her until she
fell to the floor in a faint. Her in
juries are probably fatal.
Farmer Benne was next discovered
and demand made for his money. He
refused to reveal its hiding place. The
refusal may cost him his life. He was
viciously assaulted and left bleeding
and insensible where he fell.
The farmhouse was plundered. It
was ransacked from top to bottom.
Nothing was left in place. Drawers
were emptied, boxes opened and even
clocks upset. The timepieces all
stopped at 7 o'clock, thus giving
the hour of the visit of the robbers,
AS the fiendish quartet were leaving
the premises they were hailed by the
helpless hired man who had recovered
consciousness but was too badly in
jured to rise. He implored them to
take HIM in the house and prevent his
freezing to death. Two of the men
threatened to kill him, but the other
two roughly gathered him up and
threw him on the porch, where they
left him and departed.
1t was II o'clock that night when
neighbors passing the farmhouse
heard the groans of the wounded hired
man. Investigation followed, the
alarm was soon given and indignant
people from all parts of the valley hur-
ried to the scene.
Constable Sid Garrett and an excited
posse were soon securing the country,
but with four hours start the ne
groes made good their escape. It is
believed that one of them was at one
time employed on the Benne farm, and
thus knew of Farmer Benne's practice
of keeping large sums of money in the
house

Cannibals In the Gulf OF California.

Unlikely as it may seem to some who
read these lines. it is a fact, neverthe
less, that there is an island in the gull
of California, not more than sixty miles
from the Mexican mainland, which is
inhabited by the remnants of a race OF
giant cannibals. This startling discov.
cry was made by west coast natural.
ist early in 1891, and has since been
confirmed by both United States and
Mexican explorers. Mr.. Mcnamara,
the scientist referred to, has q photo
graph of one of the men found by him
on the island, that individual, although
not one of the largest, being over seven
feet in height. The island upon which
they were found is known rs the Island
or Isle OF Leri, and the original d;cov.
erer says that there is every evidence
of cannibalism among them.-St- Louis

How They Are Made and Their Advan.
tage on Passenger Coaches.
On all the frst-class passenger cars
paper wheels are used. The paper
wheel consists Of paper core, or cen.
ter, between two steel plates one
fourth inch thick, bolted together
through one hange on the iron hub
and another on the steel tire, the
fanges being on opposite sides of the
wheel, so that the core can not get out
of place.
The paper used consists of good
straw board. The sheets of millboard
are laid on table in piles and have
their upper surfaces pasted by boys
with ordinary flour paste. They are
piled in lots of thirteen, and an I'M
pasted sheet is put between the lots. SO
that the mass of paper readily falls
apart into slabs quarter of an inch
thick in the drying-room after coming
from the hydraulic press.
Several Of these slabs are then pasted
together, put under hydraulic pressure
of two thousand pounds to the square
inch and dried for week or SO at a
temperature of about one hundred and
twenty degrees Fahrenheit. This is
repeated until the resulting blocks con-
tain two hundred sheets of paper, the
original ten inches in thickness of the
paper as it came from the mill being
pressed into A thickness of four inches,
making it as hard as oak.
After the blocks are thoroughly sea-
soned they are faced and turned in
latehes and forced by about one hun
dred and twenty tons pressure into the
steel tires, which are two inches thick
and bored tapering one and one-haf
degrees. The hub is forced with
pressure of about thirty tons; it is
turned straight and three-sixteenths
inches larger than the hole in the paper.
The bolt holes are drilled and the bolts
forced in by steam hammers. The life
of one of those wheels is from five hun
dred thousand to eighv hundred thou
sand miles. They are said to intercept
vibration and SO prevent granulation
of the axles, etc.-Philadelphia Item
