born in 1845, in Brooklyn, N. Y. He spent his early manhood on the western frontier. Subsequently he settled in Kentucky, where be became known as one of the most successful stock breeders in the state.
 But it is as an inventor that he has won his national reputation. Several most use- ful and important inventions were made by him before he produced the Williams type writer, machine that probably excels all others in the most important features.
 MT. Williams, speaking of the labor ex- pended in bringing the machine that bears his name to it's present perfection, says:
 ''Some four years ago, when engaged in experimental work on the Williams, l was putting in about sixteen hours per day of hard work and worry, and came near breaking down. Although very particular and regular h my habits and careful about eating, my stomach troubled me. It was difficult to eat and more difficult to digest and assimilate my food, my stomach acting in sympathy with an overworked brain. A friend had sent some Paine's celery com.

"JOSEPH." ]"

This evening at O'Brien's opera house the comedy, "Joseph, ' will be presented in this city. It is adapted from the French of "Ferdinand, by Leon Gandilott, an extravagantly funny comedy, which has already passed to nearly its 1300th perform ance in Paris, and is still drawing crowded houses in the French capital. Its success in America has been as decided as that which it has attained abroad. The play is built around Joseph, who figures as an up- right, bashful young man, of perfect sim plicity, but who succeeds in his droll way in finding out thing or two as the story develops. Felix Flutterby is dashing widower, fond of wine, of the ladies, in fact, of everything but business. MT. Flutterby realizes ct last that he has daughter at school in the country, and un- less that daughter can be married off to some deserving young man this girl must come home and his pleasant life of dissipa- tion must end. He resolves upon scheme to marry his daughter to his guileless and unassumng young kinsman, Joseph, who is his private secretary, and at once dis patches that worthy to pay court to and If possible to wed the charming Constance. Joseph inspires the suspicion that he is something of devil on his own account, and this greatly pleases the young woman for whose hand he is suing. With entire innocence on his part Joseph succeeds in getting himself mixed up in a number of funny scrapes, and by reason of the sub- sequent entan glemen ts the audience Is kept in constant roars of laughter. Those who are, threfore, fond of two hours and half of lively enjoyment should not fail to see this play.

The old time visionary inventor has given place to the practical, hard-working pro fessional inventor of today.
 The successful inventor must DOW be a business man as well as a man of mechani- cal ideas.
 The high tension of the nervous system, often kept up for months and months, makes tremendous drafts on the health of those busy brain workers. Many succumb to nervous prostraton when they seem just on the point of surmounting every diff flculty.
 Of all the countless recent useful inven- tions none has passed through so many or so rapid a course o Improvements as the typewriter. Today the latest perfected ma chine is undoubtedly the Williams Type writer, which represents vast mt of cum ulative invention.
