OPENING OF THE SHOE FACTORY
Program Arranged for the Dedication To-
morrow,

Program Arranged for the Dedication To-
morrow.
The Business Mems club has in
vited the public to a reception and
inspection of operations at the
shoe factory on South Flores
street tomorrow afternoon. The
delay In formally dedicating the
building has been thought advis-
able to enable the factory to get
we'll started, so that it could make
satisfactory showing to the pub
lie. Not one citizen in a hundred
realizes what this industry is, and
this reception is intended to give
all an opportunity to see what it
is and to understand how it is to
benefit San Antonio. The public
is invited to attend. Refreshments
will be served in the grove east OF
the building. The two breweries
have rendered liberal contribu-
tions, and hence everybody will
be given cause to appreciate home
industry in the brewing line as
we'll as in shoes.
An interesting program is ar
ranged as follows:
Inspection of factory any time
from 2 o'clock to 4 pm.
The two horse collar factories
will also be open to inspection dur
ing the afternoon.
About 4:30 the formal delivery
OF the building Will be made by
President Brown, of the club, in
short address.
On behalf of the factory com
pany Geo. r. Sullivan, president,
will respond.
On behalf of the club, Judge G.
A. Keller will then address the as
sembly, and following him in be.
half of the future work Of the club,
the secretary, l.. c. Irwin, will be
heard.
The public generally can well
afford to refresh themselves on
this occasion by accepting the
clubs invitation. The street car
company gives transfers to the
South Flores street line and the
cool breeze and delightful grove
will make it agreeable.

seemed pleased and FASTENED to tell Mr..
Hogeland what great thing the pillow
was sure to be. Then somebody said,
innocently:
But, Mr.. Hogeland, what if you are
in state, or section of state, that
doesn't have trolley wires convenient to
the FARM"
"Oh, that's all right" said Mr.. Hoge-
land. There's always corporation in
every neighborhood which uses cleo.
tricity, and farmers may get their sup
ply that way. It's very cheap. Then,
again, storage battery may be used.
Such battery would not be too heavy,
in my opinion. Another good scheme
would be to have farmers club together,
buy their own engine, and take turn
about using the plow."

AT n recent meeting of the Paris
Academy of Medicine NJ. Guinkolf
stated that he had successfully pho
tographed the inetrior of the eye. The
advantages of this method are i'm por-
tant, since it enables actual pictures of
the diseases OF the retina to be-secured
and compared from time to time to de-
termine whether disease processes ot
the eye progress or not. The picture is
made in two seconds. The apparatus
can thus serve as an ophthalmoscope,
and any number of persons can observe
the results.

brawny woman of pugilistic appear

checked lass with a sweet voice and a
very girlish manner.
She took to athletic exercise in the
beginning merely for the sake of her
health, but became so fond of it that
even after she had built up a strong
physique, she devoted herself assidu.
ously to some of the arduous forms OF
physical exercise. She began her ath-
letic career at Mrs. Reeds private school
in this city, fashionable boarding
house, where gymnastics form an i'm
portant part of the curriculum.
From New York she went as an in
valid to her uncle in Los Angeles, and
here she took to boxing, bag-punching
and handball playing. Five years ago
she went on the stage, and her daily
exercise stood her in good stead; for
in spite of the fatiguing work she was
called upon to do, she retained her
blooming complexion and her clear
eyes. She told no one of her intention
to challenge the champion until she
had carefully trained herself for the
encounter Her announcement came
to her friends like thunderbolt ont OF

HIGHLANDS TROLLEY PLow.

wheels are about 31s feet high, of the
skeleton design, and have long, broad
teeth every few inches along the outer
surface. There is "plow lift" oper-
ated by lever, also within easy reach
of the person who does the blowing.
Now comes the odd part of this piece
of machinery. A trolley wire, of course,
couldn't be strung over ten-acre corn
field, SO Mr.. Hcgeland has fNed things
so that an insulated trolley wire Is car

and "a paid out by reel. When the
driver gets to the end of his rope-or,

verses his engine, backs up. makes q
neat turn, and starts away in the oppo-
site direction, the reel picking up the
wire as it lies upon the ground.
The electrical circuit was supplied at
the test by street ear trolley wires
which fed the Hogeland pillow by means
of q connected wire from the terminus
of the Bowpanville electric car line
at North Fifty ninth street and Lin
coin avenue. Only one plcw was at

BURROWS BY TROLLEY.
The Use Of Electric Power in Farm
ing Operations.
Chicago Mans Invention Boon to the
Man Who Raises Corn and Sweet
Potatoes Provided Only That
1t IL Practicable.

EARNING by electricity" is the name
Isreal Hogeland has bestowed upon his
4lst and latest invention. Mr.. Hoge-
land declared to a Chicago Record re-
porter at q test of his invention that
his new method of agriculture was
bound to be a success and he also said
it would be the last blow to the useful
ness of the horse as farm animal.
Farming by electricity" does not

sit in his easy-chair and by manipulate
ing switchboard or pressing series
of buttons gather onions, plant corn,
weed strawberry bed, annihilate po-
tato bugs or milk the COWS, all with
out taking his eyes off his weekly pa
per. Mr.. Hogeland's idea of tilling the
soil with the aid of lightning is a troll
ley pillow. His new invention is nothing
more nor less than a four-wheeled truck
equipped with from one to four plows
and operated by young man who turns
a crank like the, motorman of an electric
car and who might as well be a motor
man, except for the fact that he has no
gong to ring"
About a year ago Mr.. Hogeland hit
upon an idea for an electric pillow, to
cost a medium amount and to do the
work of ten men in such marvelously
short time that it would be indispensa-
BILE to the farmer and planter.
After months of labor in his work
shop the veteran machinist at last
evolved something which answers TO
this description:
A wooden platform six by three feet,
mounted on four wheels. The front
wheels are of solid cast iron, and are
used as the steering wheels. These
wheels are controlled by wheel which
looks like the brake on freight train,
and it stands just to the right of the
operator. The man running the troll
ley plow has an iron seat Ike that On q
