THE MODERN MANGLE.
I, ,ning Machines With Daily Capacity
of Many Thousands of Pieces.

of Many Thousands of Pieces.
Mangles in one form and another have
been used for hundreds Of years, but the
steam manGle Of the present day is es-
sentially modern machine Steam man
giles are made Of various sizes, with rolls
ranging III length from 4S inches to 1870
inches One of the rolls is of hollow
steel and heated with steam. The auEil-
larry rolls are OF iron, covered with cot
ton cloth and blankets or telling. Steam
mangles are made also with two hot
rolls In ironing such things as sheets
and tablecloths by hand, it is customary
to iron one side only. Steam mangles
with a single hot roll iron in that man
ncr. With two hot rolls the steam man
gle irons with smooth finish on both
sides.
Mangles are used only for fiat articles;
for things without buttons or buckles;
for sheets and pillow cases, tablecloths
and napkins, towels and handkerchiefs,
and so on. ManglCs Of the largest size
will iron Of hotel 5 washing, taken
Just as it comes, IA, 900 pieces III a day;
of small pieces, such as napkins, they
will iron four times as many pieces III q
| day.
From the washing machine the things
90 to an extractor to be dried. The eX-
tractor revolycs at high speed, and the
moisture is whirlcd out by centrifugal
action. From the extractor, just damp
enough to work well, the things go to
the manglo Such things as sheets are
fed into the great ironing machine by
two men, each holding a corner There
is a fixed table, as long rs the rolls, at
tachcd to the machine on the other side
Two men receive tho sheet there and
fold it, In ironing small pieces like
napkins and towels on such d machine
they would be fed III by Il row of girls
standing on one sido and be received by
another row Of girls on the other side.
On the largest machines there would
be six or eight girls ON each side. Amer
lean steam manglcs arc used not only i'll
this country, but they are sold in all the
countries Of Europe as well.
A great many manglcs are made with
wood rolls Of polished maple. Such
manglcs are sometimes operated by
power, but commonly by hand They
aro used in hotels and laundrics and res
taurlnts and for household work. Man
giles with wood rolls arc exported to the
various countries Of Spanish America
and to South Africa and Australia. -

DEATH PENALTY
IS ABOLISHED
In Many Federal Cases by the United
States Senate Yesterday.
CAPITAL PENALTY
Hard Labor for Life Is Made the Max
lmum Punishment In Many Here
tofore Capital Cases.
CAPITAL PENALTY

Washington. January C.--The senate
today passed the house bill aboilshing
the death penalty in large number Of
cases. The measure is In line with the
recent state laws aboiishing capital
punishment and applies the same prin-
ciple to federal offenses. although the
change is not extended to the total
abolition Of the death penalty.
The present laws. which have come
down from colonial times, have a san
culinary aspect and prescribe death for
offenses OF various characters. The bill
passed today reduces the offenses 10
Ave. viz: Treason. rape. murder. and
two offenses applicable 10 the army
and navy. In all other offenses hard
labor for life is substituted az the max
lmum punishment. and even In cases
OF murder and rape hard labor may
be substituted II the jury states in Its
verdict without capital punishment"
As the bill has passed the house after
the long crusade by Representative
Curtis. Of New York. and is amended
slightly by the senate. II Is likely
to go TO the president. when minor dis
agreements are arranged In conference.

HERBERT CREATES
A SENSATION
His Report on the Cost OF ArmOr
for United States War Ships.
COLLUSION MADE IN PRICES
Manufacturer Of Plate Combine on
High Prices Against the Interests
Of the People.

Washington. January 5.-seoretary
Herbert today transmitted 20 congress
his reply TO the provision In the last
naval appropriation bill directing him
TO examine into the actual cost OF ar
NOR plate and report 10 congress before
January /. 1897. and 20 make no con-
tract for armOr plate for vessels au-
thor1zed by that act until after the
report was made 20 congress.
This provision of the bill grew out OF
IA heated debate In the house and SEN
ate In which the contention was that
the government was paying too much
for armor plates The report IL very
important and in many respects is a
sensational document
The present cost of armor Is ,5sS per
ton. Herbcrt's conclusion Is that the
cost Of material and labor Is tl9s.7O. and
allowing for the cost OF maintenance Of
the plant and the nickel now furnished
by the government. and so per cent
profit 90 the companies. the net cost 10
the government would be, in round
numbers. 500 per ton. The Carnegie
and bethlehem Companies have both
expressed desire 10 sell out their
plants TO. the government Mr.. Her
bert calls attention to the fact that the
company made no statement until he
had returned from Europe where he had
procured estimates of the cost Of plate.
"An inspection of prices paid by the
American companies" he says. will
indicate that they agreed with each
other as 10 prices. They divided the
contracts OF this government between
themselves. each bidding lower on one
half Of the arnor required by the gov
erument"
He speaks Of the armor furnished by
the companies to Russia at s2is per ton.
and latterly at about $3.50 per ton. and
concludes, from comparison Of prices,
that there Is az least IA friendly un-
derstanding or agreement. among the
largest armor manufacturers Of the
world To maintain prices"
The government II now paying 1858
per ton FOR armor. and with the nickel
added, sbSS At the prices suggested
by Herbert, S5O0. 600 would be saved on
each battleship. Unless the present law
is changed the secretary could not OBJ
tain the arnor for the battleships al
ready under contract II the companies
refuse 10 bid within the limit congress
might fix, To eliminate this difficulty
Herbert recommends that upon fixing
the price for armor congress also au-
thoriEe the secretary 10 erect, or buy,
or lease an Grmor plant. or gunplant,
II necessary, II this is done, better re-
suits, he believes. could be obtained.

WATER COMMISSION.

The regular meeting of the water
commission was held at the office Of
the company last evening, there being
a full attendance. The minutes Of the
previous meeting were read and ap-
proved. The annual reports of the clerk
and superintendent were also read. ap-
proved and duly filed. The application
of A. V. Allen to be allowed TO use
water for the purpose of grading down
his lot opposite the Tighe Hotel, after
some discussion. was granted. On MOI
ton, it was provided, however, that
hereafter all applications for the use of
city water for grading purposes should
be charged for at reasonable rates; the
determination of the board being ad-
verse to granting the further free use
Of water under any circumstances for
grading purposes. The usual payroll.
in the sum Of $5S4.77, was allowed, as
were also sundry other bills in the sum
of $640. This latter account included
the sum Of $S25, attorneys fees paid for
defending the recent suit instituted
against the commission by the assignee
of Parelli, one of the sub-contractors
employed on the new water works con-
struction. This is the suit which was
originally brought in the United States
court at Portland, and there abated on
a plea to the Jurisdiction. 1t is under
stood that the assignee contemplates
the Redistribution of this suit in the cir
cult court of Clatsop county, and the
attorneys fees allowed by the board
were intended as a general retaining
fee for the defense of the whole case,
After the transaction of some other
minor matters of business the commits
sion then adjourned.
