An automatic winder Of cotton thread

takes thread from eight large spools loose

spools containing 600 yards. These small
spools, having received 200 yards exactly,
stop revolving, knife cuts slot in the
spool, the end Of the thread is fastened in
this. The machine then cuts the thread
OF, drops the spool into n trap, takes
eight empty spools from as many hoppers,
places them on the spindles and fills these
as it did the previous set. The machine
goes through the entire process in just As
seconds, making all changes automatical-

are placed on an inclined track, and in
rolling through the machine receive on
each end ticket cut from n long strip or
roll of previously printed tickets placed on

ticket is cut paste is applied to tho back,

which has rolled into proper position TO
receive It, this at the rate of 90 spools per

with a large audience in attendance. IN
terest in the production had been stimu-
lated by the announcement of an unrival-
ed cast, and it is not TOO much to say that
the events of the evening confirmed the
announcement beyond all expectation.
The role Of the heroine fell into the
hands Of Miss Grace Nayleye, whose repu-
tation rests upon her row with her hus-
band on Broadway one day last May Miss
Mayleye, or Mrs. hampers, as her init
mate friends know her, made pronounc-
ed hit with her audience, looking thor
oughly like the woman who could WELD
the hOrsewhip to some purpose. 1t is said
her ex-husband's injured right eye is now
getting worse and last evening she wore
a new Worth gown in celebration of tho
happy event.
A splendid foil to her imDersonation
WAS afforded IN the work of Count Eras-
chetti, who enacted the hero, and whose
popularity has been enormous ever since
he threw one of the maidservants down
stairs two years ago after stealing her en-
gagement ring His impersonariOn gained
immensely dramatic interest from the ru-
