Hooks and eyes formerly were made

tirely made by machines of great sim
plicity and beauty. With pair Of the

the machine are first, to draw the wire
forward from the supplying reel, then
cut of the length. required for hook
or eye, as the case may be; a sinker
then descends and forces 1t into a slot,
by which 1t is bent, and two projecting
cams, acting at the same time on the
two ends, bend them over 50 as to form
the lateral loops used for sewing the
hook or eye to the garment then, in the
case Of the hook, It is passed under an
other sinker, which forces the double
wire into another slot and forms the
hook part; one side Of the slot, being

ton Of the hook sufficiently to fatten

Hoks smith,s Resianation.

For some time rumors have appear
cd in lript on the early resignation Of
Secrets Hoke Smith. There is no
doubt but that he has resigned and
that his resignation has been accepted.
For some days past shipments have
been made to Atlanta of his books and
papers, and it is learned that he has
declined to set any departmental bust
ness to be heard by him for date
later than this month. 1t can safely
be assumed that successor will be in
charge in very short time. After the
nomination of Bryan and Sewall it be
came known that Secretary Smith was
the. only member of the cabinet who
announced the purpose to support that
ticket and that this action on his part,
while not in any way effecting the per-
sonai relations between himself and the
other members of the cabinet, seemed
10 material to him that he felt con-
strained totender his resignation. The
secretary declines to discuss the sub
ectin any way.

Office, was called to Peru by-a telegram
stating the State Bank of Peru, Ill. (,
had closed its door. He has returned
and declared upon investigation he had
found the bank solvent and that it had
resumed business. The trouble arose
from the cashier loaning the banks
funds to irresponsible parties, even en-
croaching upon the reserve fund. A
new cashier was appointed.
