4 NOTABLE fNrEN1ION
By a Prominent New Havon physlola

By Prominent New Haven Physician. An invention which promises to revo- lutionize the methods of pasting covers on books, magazines and pamphlets ds that which Dr. B. S. Lewis of this city has just received patent for from Washington. No machine with such scope as this one is at present in use, and Dr. Lewis places the worth of his mechanical discovery at S1OO,000,
 It was nearly four years ago that the idea of making a machine of this kind occurred to the physician, and ihe set out to develop one. Since then he has | worked on it off and on until he fash toned it into perfection. Over two years ago he thought he had the machine per fected, but a trial of it by large Chi cago publishing house showed that there were some serious defects,
 Dr. Lewis brought back his mechan- ism to New Haven and began to devise ways to overcome its defects. At last | he succeeded. A trial showed that his machine was ready for the market. He gave to Herrick Ss Cowell, machinists on Artisan street, the contract for mak- ing the first completed machine, and since that time they have made three others. One is now used by the Case, l Lockwood & Brainard company of Hartford, another by J. J. Little &r Go. of New York and another by Clark & Son of Philadelphia. The manufacture of the machine has gone on pending the application for the patent, cavea ttpro- tecting the inventor.
 The machine costs about $2,500. It is a simple contrivance. A boy can run it after an hours instruction. Its capac- l ity is 18,000 books a day
 Its length is feet width feet, and height 3 feet. It is adapted to place covers on any book from 1s to 11a inches thick, from to 1872 inches long and from to Il inches wide, and can be arranged for any of these sizes in less than five minutes.
 l The general idea pervading the con- struction of the machine is the feeding of the uncovered book into sprocket chains running along the top of the machine. These chains carry the book over a roll covered with moist glue similar to an hiking roll in a printing press. Then the book is conveyed over a stand on which are laid the book covers. Arriving over this stand, the | covers are, by an automatic mechanical device, lifted up and pressed hard l against the glued back of the book, Then the book and cover are taken un- der a plunger which drives them l through space, thus folding each side of the cover to the sides of the book AfterWard another contrivance in the machine presses the cover firmly on the glued edges of the back of the book and the whole thing is discharged from the machine complete,

Regarding Governor Murton's Candidacy
 t0r the Erasideucy--r,a,t Says hortons
 Nomination is Sure--He Ntu Have the Empire state Delegation.
 New York, Jan, 2,--Thomas C, Plat said to-day regarding the candidacy of Governor Morton for the presidency that from the information he had Gov ernor Morton would be surely nominat- ed at St. Louis. MI, Platt continuing, said;
 q regard him as the strongest oandi- date in the race,
 Tt has been urged as Governor Mor- tons one element of weakness that he is too old. In reply to that his friends have simply to point to his vigorous ad- ministratiOn as governor of the great state of New York He is in sgl ndid health and in full physical and mental vigor A man who can stand the strain of public duty as he has stood it since he has been governor is certainly not too old to be president.
 "Governor MOrton's great strength as a candidate lies in the fact that he VIII have united delegation from New York state working for him, and he is popular all over. the country, He will not have to overcome any factional or sectional opposition.'
 MT. Platt said that she friends of the governor would at once begin active work in his interest and would secure the pledges of as many delegates as possible. He said there was no possi- bility of any division of the delegation from this state, that every delegate to | the St. Louis convention would be for Morton. He said it was too early 10 say what other states would nd solid Mor- ton delegations, but that the governor would get votes from all sections of the country.
 Mir. Platt said he had not heard from Senator Quay since Governor Morton consented to run, and was therefore un- able to say how the Pennsylvania dele gation would vote. He said he had not heard any discussion of the probable candidate for vice president on the tick
 ! with Morton.

The report dealt entirely with the Venezuelan affair, and was read by Francis B. Thurbar, chairman of the committee,
 The report opened by stating that at the last meeting of the chamber the country was congratulated on the prosperity of business, but since then q sudden and deplorable check to pros perty by the presidents special mes sage to congress on the Venezuelan mat ter has been caused.
 He said the blow had come from 9 source least expected, and while inn proper for the chamber of commerce to express an opinion on the merits of the controversy, and the propriety of the presidents course in. the mat ter the committee thought that it was to be deplored that such 8 contingent cy as war between the two big na- lions should be suggested as an out come. The report was lengthy, and an unqualified denunciation of the presi- dents attitude.

DRY GOODS.

New York, Nov. A.-The Journal of
Commerce and Commercial Bulletin says,
in it's review of the weekly dry goods mar
ket: 1.-THE attendance of buyers has been
fair and the condition of the spot market
has proved generally quiet. The best bust
ness has been done through orders coming
in from statesmen on the road, and as these
are mostly engaged in showing new spring
lines, results have been relatively better
in fancy cotton goods than in staples. The
tone of the market for staple cottons is
generally steady, but with the exception
of an occasional line of coarse colored cot
tons, cannot be called stiff Mems wear
woolens and worsteds continue quiet and
with a steady tone. Weather conditions
are not yet satisfactory, and a steady cold
spell is badly needed to give vigor to the
distribution to consumers of fall and win
ter merchandise. -
