From the floor to the top of the ma
chine 1t stands about six feet and when
loaded with tpye weighs about 1900
pounds. An operator and justiffer are
required to operate 1t, with the assistance
of boy to feed type TO the distribution
cylinder. As will be seen by the accom-
panying picture of the machine its prin-
cipal feature is large cylinder, the out
side of which is filled with slots which
are just type size and into which the type
Is fed. The top third of the cylinder
Is what is known as the distributing cylin-
der which operates either with the lower
cylinder, which is equivalent to the print
ers case or separately. The cylinder is
twenty inches in diameter and contains
ninety different channels, or slots Of type
The type is placed in the channels in the
upper portion of the cylinder after il has
been set up and used and IA little guage
keeps the types pushed down to the bot
tom of the channel in the distribution
case upon the lower portion of the cylin-
der which Is stationery In each type is "A
series of peculiar hicks, the hicks upon the
different letters and characters being
different. In the channels for the differ
ent letters are series of little steel pro-
! jections which correspond exactly with
the hicks I'm the type which belongs in
! that slot. As the loaded distributor ro-
tates in its step-like manner each type
drops into its place as the cylinder stops
for the moment and then passes on. The
distribution feature of the machine while
so very simple is yet one of the most mar
yelous features of the entire concern. Tc

OUT OF POCKET.
A Homework Man Pays Dearly for
His Experience in Canton
Resorts.

II. Ruff, of Homework, o., came to
Canton Monday, whether on business or
pleasure is not known. He had n large
roll of greenbacks, however, and spent
most of his time seeing the sights. Being
country man, he was i'm the habit, when
he wanted recreation and rest, of seeking
some shady nook on his farm and com
mune with nature in her varied forms.
When he came to Canton he followed out
his training and sought out some shady
resorts to commune with nature, In u
different form. He spent Tuesday after
noon and part Of the evening at the Conf
que From there he went to the Old
Homestead where he spent the remainder
of the night in treating the crowd and
having general good time. Wednesday
he visited numerous resorts In the neigh
borhood of the Connotton depot and Sax
ton street, finally winding up by going to
sleep on chair in an East Tuscarawas
street saloon. When he awoke he was
partially sober, and there was quite a
difference in his feelings from when he
was jolly good fellow treating the boys.
He missed the money he had spent and
raised the alarm that he had been robbed
while he slept. The attaches of the place
denied the assertion and Ruff drew knife
and proceeded to run the place The po-
lice were telephoned for and when they
arrived Ruff told his story. Ruff claimed
to have lost Ss5 in money and watch.
The police made a partial search of his
person and found his watch in his inside
vest pocket. During the day Ruff had an
overcoat with him, and one young man
claimed to have seen him put roll of
bills in his overcoat pocket. Last night
he had no overcoat and would not tell
where il was He carried two revolvers
and knife, which he flourished around
promiscously when excited. He was
taken to the Barnett House by the police,
where he was left to sober up. The po-
lice, after finding his watch hidden in his
vest, took little stock In his robbery story.
The places he visited in his search for
pleasure were of such character that he
could easily have spent his money while
intoxicated and not have discovered his
loss until partially sober.

illustration will be seen small steel case
which is for the justifier's use and con
tains all of the characters necessary for
his use. The operator is provided with II
swinging chair, enabling him to move
about the machine quickly and without
exertion. The capacity of the machine
is from 5000 to 10000 ems per hour, the
speed depending principally upon the
skill of the operators. The team operat-
ing the machtnse at present is a special
one sent here to start the machine and
instruct the regular operators and is COM
posed of Mr.. II. r. Seymour, operator
and Mr.. G. f. Young, justifler, both regu-
lar printers, their home being at Philadel-
phia, and Mr.. Louis Semones, of Chicago,
who has charge of the distribution. The
operators became familiar with the Thorne
Machine while working in New York;
where they are used with splendid success.
They have been in the employ of the
company several years and have made
some splendid records. Their best being

TAKEN INTO CUSTODY.
Two Negroes Arrested on Suspicion
For Shooting David Miller
at Osnaburg.

Friday afternoon Richard Bowen, Of 203
East Third street, Canton, and John
Mowry, of Osnaburg, were standing talk
ing on East Tuscarawas street at the Ft
Wayne crossing when two colored men
walked east past them. "There go the
men who shot Dave Miller" said Mowry.
sis that so, said Bowen. "Go uI, town
and get the police" Mowry replied that
he did not have time and Bowen reported
the affair to police headquarters.
The Pennsylvania company kindly fur
nished the officers the use of the yard en-
gine and Officers Wielandt, Battin, Slagle
and Rohn, of the city force, and Andy"
McCort went out to Stark siding and ar
rested the men. They were found sitting
by a fire which they had made, waiting
for passing freight train The men said
that they had come from Pittsburg, but o
Ft. Wayne conductor says they came in
on his train from the West Friday morn
ing. The officers brought them to town,
where the tall man gave his name as
Charles Smith, and the short one as John
Jonifer. A search failed to reveal any
weapons of any kind.
Smith was private in the regular army
and was discharged year and a half ago
in Virginia. They claim they have not
been in Canton, one of them, since Christ
mas, and the other one for five years.
They answer the general description given
of the men who shot David Miller, of
Osnaburg, some three weeks ago, while
attempting to rob him.
A number of Osnaburg people visited
the prison during the day and took good
look at the two colored men, but no one
has been able, as yet, to identify them.
The men are still held for the purpose Of
Identification.

the offices of the association for improving
the condition Of the poor and the farms
will be ploughed ms soon as the weather
permits.
Detroit only allowed one-third Of an
acre to each farmer and expended about
80. 80 on each plot. The money used TO
improve the land here will be in the ma
ture of loan, so that the farmers will
not consider themselves objects of
charity"
1t has also been decided to request that
one-half of each plot be planted in pota-
toes and the other half in beans and cab
bage. It is estimated that by good
manuring and careful attention excellent
crops of potatoes can be raised In each
acre.
In Detroit the crop raised on 43O acres
or 1000 town lots, was Sl4, 900, although
many families dug up for consumption
portions Of the potatoes before they were
fully grown. One thousand families cared
for themselves in this way.
This appeals TO me us the practical,
rational, sensible scheme of the age. 1t
was sneered at laughed at ard joked
about, but IL was success and nothing
succeeds like success. Populism is respon-
sible for It. Populism is agitation, agi-
tation is thinking, thinking is acting act
ing is growing, and growing is achieving.
1t was my privilege to see personal
letter written by Governor Mckinley on
this farming scheme, which meets with
his hearty endorsement.

in the land would take 1t up, and push 1t
and make a success of II.

A NEWSPAPER BY MACHINERY.
The Canton Evening News" and STARK County Democrat
Set Up by Machine.
A STEP FORWARD IN The ART OF NEWSPAPER MAKING
Type Macng Added of this Plant
Type Set by Machinery Something New in This County
Picture and Description Of the Machine.

The Democrat Publishing Co. intends to
keep abreast of the times In publishing a
newspaper. With this end in view q
Thorne type setting machine has been
added to our mechanical equipment.
This is an entirely new departure in the
printing business and the production of
a newspaper in Canton and Stark coun-
ty. The News hence makes an epoch In
the newspaper business in that IL is the
first paper in Stark county to be set by
machinery.
Years ago the ideal editor had seat at
the type case and set up his paper com
plete. Time changed this and the news
paper type was put into proper shape by a
force of skilled compositors. The pro-
gress of the age has now worked an
other change. The inventive genius has
perfected machine that works with al
most human skill and today type is set by
machinery.
The Canton News at n considerable ex-
pnse has added this improvement and 9th
er improvements will be added from time
to time. No expense will be spared to give
the people of Canton and Stark county a
bright and modern newspaper,
The Thorne type setting machine is
thoroughly perfect and is also very compli-
Gated As it is something entirely new to
this city and county the news extends a
cordial invitation to all friends to visit
our composing room and see the machine
in operation. This article was set on the
Thorne machine, as was the larger part of
this issue. A very good picture of this
machine Is given, also "A mechanical de-

FIRST U. B. CHURCH.
An Interesting Sketch of This Organi.
zatiOn-The Different Pastors
i'm Charge.

In the early part Of the year 1869 the
Rev. Joshua Cecil, an Itinerant minister
of the Muskingam conference of the
United Brethren i'm Christ, came to Can
ton and organized a L. b. Church. For u
time, the society met in the homes of the
members, where the gospel was preached.
Rev. Jno. Neizs presented the society with
lot, which was located on Charles street,
and Rev. J. Cecil, who was an indcfati-
able and efficient worker, began the erec-
ton of brick church. He laborcd with
other friends of the church early and late,
making excavations and hauling stones
and bricks, until the building was com
pleted and dedicated amid great rejoicing
upon the part of the pastor and his faith
full members. The building was 80 by 4S
feet and cost in all about SO, 800 But for
twenty-threc years the church was burd
sned with a debt that was constantly
threatening its very life. Spiritually, the
church seemed to prosper but financially
it did not go so well. In the year 1890 the
debt was fully paid.
At the close of the year 1869, the mem
bership was AZ. At present IL is 23O.
But the record of the good that has been
accomplished and the souls that have been
saved through its instrumentality cannot
be tabulated in human way Six efliCi-
ent ItinCrant ministers have gone forth
into the regular work from the ranks.
Two have been called to reward and four
are still actively engaged in the work.
In the year 1892 new church site was
purchased on the corner of Tenth street
and Cleveland avenue. Soon thereafter,
they commenced the erection of new
church, and in the course of a few weeks
it will be completed
The following ministers have served as
pastors: Rev. Joshua Cecil, 1859; Rev.
B. f. Booth, 1877 Rev. 5. W. KoOntZ,
1880; Rev. h. Rock 1882; Rev. g. n.
Queen, 1888; Rev. II. A. Bowling, 1884; (;
Rev. C. n. Queen, 1886; William Will
hanson, TO this present date.
The membership of the church is 23O.
Sabbath school, ESQ; Y. p. s. G.. f., 20 /;
Ladies Aid society, 43; choir, 22; official
board, %. The church Is in good work
ing condition, and when the new house
of worship is entirely completed, it prom
ises to take long step forward
The new church at the corner of Tenth
street and Cleveland avenue, will be one
of the finest i'm the city. The frescOing is
now finished in the auditorium, and it is
beyond doubt as attractive place as one
would wish. The entire church will be
ready for occupancy in the course of a
month or so.
The recent development of the church
congregation and the erection Of the new
building is due in large measure to the
energetic and unceasing efforts of the
popular pastor, Rev. william Williamson,
| In his eight years pastOrate he has
brought the congregation up rapidly and
/ he has just cSuse for feeling due pride In
the results tho have been and are being
/ accommodated

TRUE MARRIAGE.
Canton Women Tell What il is and
What il is Not Divorce
Discussion,

A good attendance was present Friday
afternoon at the meeting of the Women's
Christian Temperance Union, held in
their hall on East Eight street. The meet
ing was in charge of Mrs. Angie Manly,
the superintendent of purity, with True
Marriage" as the subject
Remarks on the subject We're made by
nearly every one present. Papers were
read by Mesdames Ball, Manly Meyers
Goodwill, Patton and Meredith.
Mrs Manly discussed civil and religi-
Gus marriages. stating that a true mar
riage must have more than civil back
ing 1t must also be religious mar
riage. If 1t is both civil and religious
marriage it can be nothing else than n
true one.
Mrs. Ball spoke of marriage as divine
institution, having divine law back of
it, A religious marriage cannot be fail-
ure as it is divine institution.
Mrs. Meyers spoke upon the fact that it
made a woman happier to know that she
had boys and girls who would some day
honor her in being good citizens.
Mrs. Patton spoke upon the risks Of
marriage, saying that true marriage is
degraded when "A girl marries a man so
that she will be able to reform him
Mrs. Meridith then read "Paul's Ideas
Of Marriage"
A general discussion followed in which
the prevalence of divorces was spoken Of
1t was the opinion of those present that
divorces do not prove marriage a failure,
but it proves that the participants are not
true men and women.
One lady said that if it was not for the
good women who are married things in
this world would be in very poor con-
dition. Another declared that she felt
like taking off her hat TO woman who
had raised large family.

When the operator presses the key the lat

rapidly revolving roller upon which are
series of steel blades, catches the lever and
in an instant pushes it forward, working
series of wires and small "L" levers
which in turn operates a small steel
plungcr that pushes the desired type out
