THE AMERICAN MACHINIsT.
His Work Esteemed the World Over
Wherever Machines Are Used.

The fame of the American machnist,
says the Sun, extends everywhere; his
ingenuity in planning and his skill in
execution are known wherever man
uses machines and tools. If there is
any one branch of work in which he ex-
cells more than in another it is in the
building of special machinery, by which
is meant machines not kept in stock or
regularly manufactured, but specially
devised and made for special uses.
For instance, man designs some ar
ticle of use which he works up by hand,
or by the aid of machinery. To pro-
duce this article in quantities, at such
a cost that it can be sold at a profit,
special machinery is required The de-
signer or inventor takes the article to
the builder of machines and says: Can
you make a machine that will make
these things, and will you guarantee 1t
to work?" 1t is altogether probable
that the machine builder answers yes
to both questions, because there is prac-
tically nothing that he cannot do.
Special machinery is built for wide
variety of uses. AS the knowledge of
American skill in this direction, now
long familiar, has spread, orders have
come from all over the world and spe-
cial machinery is sent from here also
for use in enterprises installed or con-
Quoted by Americans in foreign coun-
tries.
Such machinery, for various uses, is
shipped from this country almost every
where. One big machine shop in this
city that Is largely engaged In the pro-
duction of special machinery sends
probably a third of its work out of the
country. 1t has sent machines to every
land.

ing himself for a hard contest. After
run of five miles Tuesday morning.
Wright jumped on the scales and did
not move the beam. In the afternoon
he had a lively ten-round set-to with
his trainer.

MUST SERVE SENTENCE
DECISION AGAINST HERR LIEB-
KNECHT, A GERMAN SOCIALIST.
Trial of Two Hundred Brigands on
Charge of Committing Atrocities
"A Jack the Ripper.

LEIPSIC, Oct. 12-The Supreme Court
has dismissed the appeal of Herr William
Liebknecht, the Socialist leader and editor,
against the sentence of four months i'm
prisoament passed against him on Nov H.
1896, for lese majesty, committed in his
speech at the opening of the Socialist Con-
gress at Breslau, on Oct. of that year
Herr Liebknecht will, therefore, shortly
undergo the sentence.
The expressions used by Herr Liebknecht
on which the charge of lese majesty was
based were the following: THE highest
authority in the land throws down the
gantlet and insults us. Let us take up the
challenge, no matter who it may be who
casts This mud at Us. He is incapable Of
touching us, for we are above his insults
After referring to remarks that had recent
ly been made to Emperor William, Herr
Liebknecht continued: THE German EN-
pire would first collapse, but Socialism
would triumph. A violation of universal
suffrage will be equivalent to the death
warrant of the imperial government. The
party can now defy defeat, no matter how
many bayonets are at the disposal of those
who wish for a trial of strength
