beauty and the self-sufficiency of the re-

"Hairpins," said dealer to a Star re-

tured in England and France until
1873, when first began to make
the goods in this country. There are

States that turn out an article equal, If not
superior. to the best finished foregn-mad de

takes no less than $1,000 packages. each

supply the wholesale demand daily in New
York alone.
The machinery used is of delicate and
Intricate character, as the small PRICES a
which the pins are at present sold neces-
state the most rapid and cheapest pro-
cess. which can only be secured by auto
matte machines. The wire Is made ex-
pressly for the purpose, and is put I'D in
large coils. which are placed on reels. The
end of the wire is put In a clamp which
carries 1t to machine while Strengthening
1t. There 1t Is run through a machine
which cuts binds. and, by a delicate and
instantaneous process, Sharpens the pins.
These machines will turn out from 300 10

night and day. The most difficult part OF
the work is the enameling. which is done
by dipping the pin in a preparation and

Akron, August 30.-(Special. .)-Col.
Congsr's letter TO Judge Grant has had
something OF tae same eff, ct upon the
Akron Hanna followers, that a led flag
is supposed TO have upon an angry bull
The bull attacks the waver of the flag and
the Hannates have attacked Col. Corger
Every sort tf personal abuse is being
heaped upon Col. Conger's head. The
Hanna people would like TO destroy the
effects OF the letter by attempting 30 de-
stroy the reputat on of the writer, but in
this they will be disappointed.
Today tbey are reading what they
fondly believe to be the Colonels polti-
cal death warrant and not content with
that they threaten revenge 10 q business
way. Some of the meu whom Colonel
Conger has made financially now threat
en- TO wreck bis fortunes. They say that
the support they have given him in busi-
ness way in the past few weeks will be
withdrawn, and that he will be left to
fight his battles single handed. The Gel
oDel has made friends, though, by the
decisive stand he has taken, which will
more than compensate him for those he
has lost.
The Hanna manag RS, goaded to mad
ness, re Allze that the basm between the
Republican factions has wi1ened beyond
their power to bridge and In their des-
peration they have resolved upon d sper-
ats measures.
They say 5hey will rcs matt rs to
an issue, by demanding that Gov. Bush
nell compel Col. Conger to resign from
the governors staff. They aatter them
selves that If the governor complies with
their demands, is will indicate that Col
Conger Is clone in the stand he has
taken. If Gov. Bushnell refuses to humil-
late Col. Conger by asking for his resig-
nation the HAMA people believe it will
prove that he is in sympathy with the
views expressed in the letter calling on
all parties to work ar d vote for the defeat
of Hanna.
| thoh Oho war VI oAGtEmluutiOu Will
begin. The first move Hanna and his
henohmen will make will be to try and
( rec Bushncll off the ticket. Failing 10
this they will slaughter him politically.
The Hanna machine will be used openly
to defeat the Republican nominee for
governor. Mckinley will be called upon
to lend the power of federal patronage to
be used against the governor and his
friends, and every dark political art
known to Hsnnsism will be employed
against them. The Hannaitts will neither
give nor ssk for quarter. Hanna's blood.
hounds of politics will be loosed upon The
Bushnell trail and they will never rest
until he has been run to earth. With
Hanna 1t is battle for his life. His
motto must be "Rule or Ruin"
