The Owner Refused to Open it or Dis
close the Combination.
Charleston, S. c., Feb. 16-The whisky
constabulary have been very active here
during the past five or six days, having
raided and looted half dozen establish
ments, mostly grocery stores, in that
period. In one place only were they able
to find contraband whisky.
Yesterday they developed an entirely
new phase in the modus operandi Of raid
ing. They called at a grocery store kept
by Q. Schulz and after going through the
premises very thoroughly, including the
man S bedroom, hauled up at burglar
proof safe which was locked. Schulz re-
fused to open it or tell the combina-
ton; thereupon fifteen of the spies sat
down on the premises and sent one of
their number out to bring a locksmith
He failed TO find q locksmith in the city
who would consent TO open the safe
Then they put a seal on the lock and left
it. During the night burglars entered
the premises and removed the seal, but
made no attempt to open it. To-day
Schulz sent to the chief of the spies and
notified him that the seal on his safe had
been violated and requested them to at
tend, as he intended to open it. The spies
declined to attend, and there the matter
rests. 1t has been reported to Gov.

AUTOMATIC TYPE SETTING.
Wonderful Revolution Wrought by In
vsntors in Two Years.

II was the rivalry in serving up the
very latest news that. about the middle
of the present century, brought into
existence the device by which paper,
drawn from continuous rolls. WAS
automatically severed into unitsble
sheets piuted on both sides from cylin'
drical stereotpyeS and delivered in
properly folded condition at the other
end of a single machine. 1t is only in
tho present decade that the work OF
"composition or setting Of the type
matter itself has bosn brought up to
she same high grade of speed and ac-
curacy by tho lately perfected art of
automatic type setting,
The ypS-composltors' machines now

two general heads or groups, namely,
those which operate upon suitably con
structed movable typos and those in
which the matter" Ia cast do novo
line by limo. ut each composition in
mold beds composed of assembled
matrices Both classes of machines
are operated by depressing "keyA" like
those of n type writer aud both equally
dispense wholly with the necessity OF
direct manipulation. either for compo o.
siuon or for distribution. and thus
avoid serious source of error. THIS
radical aud important change Is 80
cured by highly ingenious devices,
bearing some resemblance to the wards
in lock. by which ths types in one
class aud and the matrices in the other
class are automatically returned to
their recsptacles in readiness for tho
next lob. Even the seemingly diff
cult work OF so called Classification"
is automatic, for tine spacing quads.

depressing their appropriate keys, are
50 constructed as to be capable OF such
simultaneous di'tension to cause the
matter to completely aud equally fill
tho line
So much is the operation like that OF
type writing that an expert type writer
very soon becomes good and rapit
compositor. the operator having merely
to depr IS the proper keys, and for the
rest, the machine itself does the think %
ing and sets the characters with un
srriug precision The type-settiug
machiRe would seem to DO crowning
work of the long and eventful BRAIN of
improvements in the ancient art OF
recorded speech.
