~--------------------------- VOTING MACHINE INSP ECTED.

Governor and Legislators Pleased With it's WorkiDg-The Apparatus on Exhibition | in Hartford This Week.
 Hartford, Feb. Ex-Governor Coffin and the members of the legislature and many other distinguished gentlemen in cIuding Colonel N. G. osborn of New Haven had an opportunity of inspec- ting the Meyers voting machine at the l capitol to-day. The McTammany ma chine did not show up nor any of its representatives. There was nothing but admiration expressed for the Mey- CTS machine. It seemed much more in reality than it had in description and all who saw it remarked upon the won derful ingenuity of the contrivance.
 The new voting machine was put up in the west capitol corridor on the same
 floor with the assembly rooms and near the office of the governor. It had been knocked about on the railroad and res cued from the hard knocks of freight office, yet when 1t was put together the machinery worked without hitch and Wayne Meyers, a relative of the invent or who accompanied the machine, had it all ready for inspection within few hours. He said that he had found that the machinery would stand any usage. It is put together loosely and he re- marked to a Post reporter that he was confident that he could let the machine lie at the bottom of river until 1t rust ed and then take 1t up and it would work as successfully as if spick and span from the foundry.
 MT, Myers said he had come direct from an election near Syracuse where the machines were tried and found per- fectly satisfactory Mem voted in twen- ty-five seconds who had never seen the machine before. He also showed the reporter a dispatch from Canton, N. Y, saying: "The largest vote to-day ever polled in this district. Five hundred and twenty-seven votes cast. Myers voting machines were used in this and adjourning towns. It is a great tri- umph William Defiance, totally blind, voted unassisted in seventy seconds"
 The machine that is ready for inspec- tion at the capitol is so arranged as to

MORE UAIFORMITY NEEDED.

There is demand for uniformity in the divorce laws and the bank ruptcy laws of the different States. And there is another branch of human activity in this country that is much in need of more uniform regulation by law than now exists. This is the kissing of a woman by a man against her will, Of course it is not possible
 to make a. }rIle that will equally apply to all cases of such kissing There is difference in the quality and value of the kissing. A man should not be charged as much for kissing some women against their will as he ought to be for so kissing some others. The circumstances should also be taken into account. The varying intensity of the will that is kissed against should be considered. But when all is said that can be said con- corning the differences in such kissing the fact will remain that there is not enough uniformity in the legal treat ment of it. For instance, within the last week Missouri man has been fined $2,500 for kissing woman against her will while in Illinois trans gressor of the same kind had to pay only $15. It is reasonably clear that the Missouri man paid too much or the Illinois man paid too little. There are cynics who would say that even the Illinois man paid too much. How ever this may be there can't be any such real difference between Illinois and Missouri kissing as there is be- tween $15 and $2,5OO There is no such difference as that between Connecti- cut and Massachusetts kissing
 Of course a man ought to be severely punished for kissing woman against her will in any State, even in the state of matrimony. But $15 will go great many times in $2,50O.

This is a new and expensive idea, the silk and tweed being manufactured together to match.
 Fur sticks to the jackets of early spring and it's hold promises to be te- naclous one.

THE sHRrNKAGE.

Awhile ago the New York Tribune made bold to say that this country is | poorer by six thousand millions of dol lars than when Cleveland was inaugu- | rated. The accuracy of this remark was questioned, and the Tribune made some figures in support of it's assertion. Those figures are very impressive. If anybody thinks the Tribune over-esti- mated the shrinkage he will change his mind after reading them. We call the careful attention of our readers to them.
 The true value of real and personal property June l, 1890, according to the census, was 5000, 100000, and the in- crease in ten years has been 49 per cent. None will deny that the gain in the years of maximum prosperity which followed the census was greater per year than in the previous decade. But at the census rate the increase in two years and nine months to March. 1893 would have been 1S.5 per cent, making the total wealth $7S,775, 900, 900. Does it seem incredible that in two years of the worst disasters known for half a century the value of property has de- creased S.S per cent, considerably less than it's previous increase in two years and nine months?

Wenzel Jamnitzers golden center piece, the most exquisite piece of Ger man goldsmith's work ever produced is about to be lost to Germany. It is three feet high, the upper portion, held up by a female figure, representing the earth, and was made for the Nuremberger town council in 1546. The material is silver, giIded and enamelled; the artist was paid 1925 guldem for his work At the beginning of the century it was bought by a merchant named Merkel, in whose family it remained till sold in 1880 to the Frankfort Rothschilds, and was known to sightseers as the Merkel centerpiece. The late Emperor Freder- ick III, when crown prince, saw the work and obtained promise from the owner that if 1t was ever sold he should have the first refusal, but he was un- willing to pay the $200,00O which the Rothschilds gave for it. By the will of Meyer Karl von Rothschild's widow, the art treasures of the Frankfort house, including the Jamnitzer piece, are bequeathed to the Paris and Lon don families. Some German papers, in consequence, ask for a law like that of Italy prohibiting the exportation of works of art without the permission of the government.

A bill which has for its object the for nation of ''the Greater Pittsburg'' has been introduced into the Pennsylvania legislature. It is proposed to incorpo- rate in one municipality all the cities and populous boroughs of Alleghany county, and give the new Pittsburg a radius of about fifteen miles.

It supports seven ty-seven banks, with deposits aggrega- ting $122, 2,SO0,O0O, which is a greater financial strength than any of thirty four states out of the forty-four.

There is every indication that the coming spring and summer styles will favor perfection of fit and simplicity of outline. The shirt waist and dark skirt get up will be as fashionable and as pretty as ever, and the outing dress will appear early in the season with its widely belted skirt. its change of shirt waists and its natty little half-open bodice. The loose jacket will be the
