Silk In America.

Although tho United States has
been but 80 years in the manufacture
of silk goods, it is said to stand Sec
ond in that branch of industry. The
only nation to excel this country is
France. In European factories the
speed Of tho spindles ranges from
p, 500 to 1000 revolutions per min
ute. Here it runs up to -, 600 and
Is, 900 per minute. These high speed
spindles are not monopoly, but
with automatic attachments of one
kind and another save labor on q
grand scale. There is, for example,,
a belt spinner, obviating tho use of
bands, ono belt touching the fianges
of all the spindles and turning them
uniformly. A weaver or spinner
from Europe entering an American
silk factory often has difficulty in
telling what process tho unfamiliar
machinery is engaged on. Fifty per
rent of the raw silk imported into
this country comes from Japan

Were Only Two Starters.

confusion the race was declared of, as the
deed of gift provides that there must be
three starters. The trophy is now held by
the Prince of Wales cutter Britannia.

To lnquirers.


The competition positively closes at 6
p. M, March IS next.
Entries may be made at any time.
When sending in batch OF votes ii Is
not necessary to write the name of the or
ganization voted for on each separate bal
lot. Do up your votes in bundle, Sc
curing them together by q pin or string,
and write the name of the lodge they are
intended for or the top ballot. That will
be sufficient. Only be sure that the bal
lots are secured SO that they will not get
astray.
Voters do not have to make any pur-
chases OF the donors of the piano in order
to vote. Everybody is entitled to vote as
often as they please. All they have to do
Is to cut the ballot out OF The NEWS and
send IL to the Barpaby Company, where it
will be duly registered and filed. What
ever organization has secured the moet
votes gets the plano. That's oil there is
to 1t.
The price Of The NEWS is one cent.
This price is invariable except to news
dealers and to newsboys.
No papers will be available at The NEWS
Office to anyone at less price. AS q mat
ter OF fact this price is % cents hundred
cheaper than the wholesale price OF a
two.cent paper, The decision to
sell the paper at the regular price to other
usual practice. We have twico had, within
q few weeks, order for hve thousand
papers, containing certain article which
the buyer desired to mail throughout the
6tate-having nothing TO do with the
piano contest--and the price demanded
End paid was Atty dollars. We will main
tain this rule during the piano
competition that all interested may
have an equally fair show
TO secure their bsilots without any dis
elimination in favcr of those who con-
ceive the idea OF buying in large quantities
and perhaps securing all the votes they
want from an extra order for a particu-
lar edition OF the paper.
We do not propose that there shall be
any "junk" during the piano contest.
Any and all papers returned and sent to
the waste paper buyers will be torn
through the ballot so that 1t will be
unavailable.
No one connected with THE NEWS office
or with theJ. 3. Barnaby Company will
cut out or send in ballots.
No ballots will be printed except In the
regular edition OF THE NEWS.
The standing Of the Barnaby Company,
who give the piano, and OF The News,
the medium OF their competition, is sufii-
cent to guarantee the friends OF the rival
organizations that not only Will
the contest be conducted strictly
on foir and square lines and
decided solely on the number OF votes
cast, but also that there shall be no
outlet for tho procuring oil ballots
open to ell alike. There will
be no "inside" work possible OF
any description and we will thank any OF
the friends OF the competing organizations
for Information that seems TO suggest
anything Of the sort.
