Governor of Corn Island, which is just
off the coast OF Nicaragua Recently he
obtained the concession for number OF
years to use the island, it is said, as o
coaling station. In the event OF COM
pleted Nicaraguan canal Corn Island will
have an immense value both as q coaling

A Good Record.

The Berlin Iron Bridge Co.,, of East Berlin, Conn.,, are again running full time, 10 hours per day, six days every week. The fact that this company has been able to give employment to their force on full time during the year past, when almost every industry has been more or less seriously affected, is surely a good recommend for the management and the quality of work which they manufacture. With the exception of March land March is the dull month in the bridge business) this corporation has run full time for the past year. We do not think there is corporation in tine state of Connecticut, if there is one in the United States. that can boast of a similar record. The company now has contracts on hand sufficient to keep their full force employed on full time until the first of July, and as at that time the busy season in bridge build ing opens, the company hope to be able to continue full time during the entire year.

4 BRUTAL ASSAULT.

When the NEWS went to press last week only meagre, contradictory and unsatisfactory information had been gained in regard to the attempted as- sault upon the person of Mary life, 8 Syrian peddler woman, consequently the NEWS published only brief item in regard to the case. During the past week, facts have come to hght which prove that most dastardly and brutal deed was committed although the vile wretch failed to accomplish his pur- pose. The majority of our townspeople now comprehend thst the case should be more fully investigated than it was at the examination of James Braman on May 2nd. Whoever insulted, injured and robbed poor Mary life at East Ca naan ou the evening of April 2Sth should be severely punished; and it is hoped the identity of her assailant can be established beyond 8 doubt. The good name of the town is at stake, and every effort should be made to bring the offender to justice.
 After the hearing at the court room May 2nd, Mrs John Miller kindly con- sented to give Mary life lodging for the night. Mary was very i'll all night, and in the morning Dr Church was sum- moned. He found her nearly delirious with pain and exhaustion, and he dis covered that several of her ribs had been either fractured or badly injured in her desperate struggle with her as- sailant on the evening of April 2Sth. For several days it was impossible to tell the full extent of her injuries and her recovery was doubtful, but she is now improving although unable to leave her bed. She still needs the att tention of physician. Last Sunday she feared she might not live the day out. and at her request the Rev F. W. Barnett visited her and administered to her the sacrament of the Holy Com munion.
 Mary Tie is native of Beirout, Syria. She is 23 years of age and un- married. She earns her bread by ped ding laces and small wares through this section, making her home at Pitts field or North Adams. No one can doubt her integrity aud she is deserv- ing of sympathy and substantial aid at 
 the present time. This is an opportun- fly for the Christian people of this town to do missionary work right here and aid and befriend poor and worthy woman, stranger in a strange land.
 The NEWS may have more to say later In regard to this subject, but perhaps we have said all that it is advisable to at present.

Browne assented, and the "commonweal

the army toward Washington are well

time cheering for such a mythical person
as Barbara.
Now that Mr.. Coxey has returned, Mar
shall Browne gives up the supreme COM
mand. which he has held for some days,
and welded, 1t must be said, with judg-
ment and tact.
Something About the Marshal.
Browne is certainly the most interesting
figure in this strange array of humanity.
He is a natural leader and is far from lack
ing in brains and ability. OF a command
ing physique. he is fatigued by nothing, land
in a calm, cool way moves steadily along
the path he has laid out. Browne is far
above the ordinary in his knowledge of
books and of men. and his historical infor-
nation Is wide reaching. AS he passes
through the country he absorbs and adds
to every bit of local history, and his speech
es and orders are filled with these local
touches, brought out either as a bit of
dramatic effect or to point an argument
Browne Is typical agitator and has been
engaged in one or another agitation since
he reached manhood. There have been va
rious people, especially at Hancock and this
place, who have professed to recognize in
Carl Browne a certain Indian medicine doc
tor, known as Professor Lorman These
people say that Lorman was originally a
Harry Lowman from Elkton, this state who
ran away from home when sixteen years of
age. There must be a certain resemblance
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1894-04-25

between Browne and this Lowman, al
though 1t is highly improbable that the two
are one. Brownies career has been well
known for years, and he has entered prom
inently into many of the social movements,
especially in California. For reasons of his
own Browne has been somewhat taciturn in
regard to his past life, but today he gave
your correspondent a sketch covering a life
crowded with interesting and exciting cpl
sodes.
Carl Browne was born July 1, 1910, at the
home of his grandmother about six miles;
from Springfield, Ill. His father a
Tenneseean and his mother Scotch wo-
man of the old McNabb clan. Al the time
of his birth his parents were residents of
Lincoln. Ill. Both his parents had extern
sive family connections through that sec
ton and his father was veteran of the
in the sixtieth Illinois regiment during the
attending school and. as he expresses it,
with an indulgent father, did pretty much
as he pleased"
Just as the war broke out young Browne
was apprenticed in the office of the Lin
coin Courier where he had rather an ex-
citing introduction into newspaper work.
The course of the paper was extremely
obnoxious to the Union element and at
several times a guard was necessary to
prevent the establishment being raided by
the soldiers. Several times during his APP
premiership this thirteen-year-old boy
looked down the barrels of hostile revolvers.
After the war was over the Browne family
moved to Ohio Here Carl Browne COM
menced the development of the artistic
characteristics which are shown so promi-

Typewrftten Music.

Prom the Fort Worth Gazette.
While great improvements have been
made in the last few years In shortha nd
systems. and language can now be trans
ferred to paper with the rapidly of speech.
the writing Of music is still an occupation
OF exasperating tediousness. A musical
shorthand has often been suggested. and il
is said that certain musicians have devised
for themselves such a system. which has
served their purpose fairly we'll But any
attempt to bring the speed Of musical nota-
ton within even appreciable distance OF the
rate of musical production. either instru-
mental or vocal, has always been looked
upon as impossible.
Ii Is difficult to imagine how IL can ever
be otherwise but none the less are those
inventors who seek to increase the facility
of transferring TO paper musical IDEAS
either fresh from the brain of the COM
poser or from the rendition of the artist
worthy OF commentator and gratitude
An attempt in this direction has Just been
made in the construction of a machine for
typewriting music. The machine looks like
an ordinary typewriting machine, after
which IL is modelled. the frame. key levers.
type bars and carriage being retained
various notifications are made to
adapt the instrument to the change OF no.
tation, the carriage being shifted endwise
only for the different lines, octaves or notes.
and the paper is fed forward with each

ed either to be used with paper already
ruled or to write its own staff by repeating
