that part of the town, where uneXpect-

Officer Birmingham laid his hand on
the knob lightly and the lamp was at
once extinguished. 1t took long rap
pings and repeated assurances in mon
grel Italian to convince the man that
no harm was intended, or, in other
words, that he was not to be arrested,
and finally he consented to open the
door part way while inquiry was made
after a supposititious neighbor. The
timely striking of match revealed a
room bare of furniture with toe eXcep-
ton of rickety cook stove, rough
pine table, couple of chairs, and some
pallets of straw on the floor. On these
latter children were sleeping just as

through which no stranger could posi-

one Of the law-abiding Italians who
frowns upon the padrone system, but
thinks II merely a matter Of good
health to keep his mouth shut. This
matter Of sullen retention Of knowi-
edge is one Of the hardest things the
police have to cope with. Murderous
ARRAYS are common among the Ital-
ials, but 1t Is exceedingly difficult to
make an arrest or secure conviction
because even the victims refuse to give
information. The stiletto Is ever ready
for the informer.
4 On Forquer street, not far from JEFF
ferson, lives a padrone who Is waxing
fat of the pickings Of twelve little chill
dren in various stages Of productive
ness. Some travel about with wheezy
concertinas, others peddle newspapers.
others sell chewing gum, and others
get money In questionable ways. But
they all bring grist to his financial mill
every night or they go supperless to
bed and feel the weight Of stick as
well.
From this den the party made Its
way through dark alley, cluttered
with refuse. to the rear of black, for
bidding looking building on Desplaines
street. A sudden yanking open Of the
door by the combined efforts Of the
four officers revealed crowd OF des-
perate men huddled In a small room.
On the faces of all was plainly written
the fear of arrest, and the assurance
that nobody was wanted seemed to
give relief to all of them. This build
ing Is the one from which Capt. Wheel
er's officers In December last took a
padrone named Mosielli and his wife,
Lucy, on the charge Of having delib-
erately burned out the eyes Of three
children for begging purposes. When
the children were first found they re-
fused to say word against the pa
drone, and 1t was not until they were
given to the care of reputable italian
woman and tenderly treated that the
terrible story was coaxed out Of them.
Capt. Wheeler, who made personal
investigation of the case. was satisfied
Crawford avalanche. (Grayling, Mich.) 1879-19??, 1897-12-09

that Mosielli would be sent to the peni-
tertiary, but at the trial the same old
difficulty of securing testimony was
encountered, and the man escaped with
a year in the bridewell. As subsequent
events proved, the case was not an I'M
usual one among the padrones. Other
instances were found in which children
had been deliberately mutilated in var
ious ways so as to excite the sympathy
of charitable people and make sure the
giving of aims, but in no case has 1t
been possible to get the evidence neces-
sary for conviction.
Back from Mosielli's old den the
party traced it's way through a maze
of blind alleys and ill-smelling garbage
boxes to Mather street, where the Off
GERS arrived ut house just in time to
prevent man from beating boy with
a club. Even then the youngster was
sullen in his misery and refused to give
the policemen any information, and
the old rascal of n padrone actually
laughed at the officers in contempt
Outside this place the party fingered
some time In the hope that n renewal
of the attack would give them excuse
for making an arrest, but the padrone
was too sly to be thus captured. Late
as was the hour, many of the little
while slaves were just returning home
to report TO their masters and hand
over the financial results of their days
work. Through streets and alleys they
came silently like rats, those who had
money pushing along carelessly, while
the unfortunate who had failed in their
task hung back, dreading to encounter
the fierce padrone and yet afraid to
remain away longer than the appoint
ed time. 1t was a mournful sort Of
procession, this return of the child
chattels, and even the stolid policemen,
Injured to countless repetitions of the
scene, could not forbear from COM
menting upon it.
In this manner the party tramped
about the padrone quarter for nearly
three hours, looking into all sorts Of
miserable holes, few of them fit to
shelter self-respecting dog, and yet
all Inhabited by human beings. Cellars
and garrets alike were crowded with
men, women and children of varying
ages, from the wee mite of boy just
large enough to scrape few notes out
Of wheezy violin, to girls just merg-
ing into womanhood. In every place
some one man was In supreme con-
troll, and none disputed his authority
as boss" IL there was any talking
done with the officers IL was the ''boss"
who acted as spokesman, and the 9TH
ers maintsined an inauisitive silence,
alert to what was going on, but never
speaking word.

Familiar Mechanical Principles Ap-
piled An = Novel Manner.
A British syndicate Is putting on the
market q machine called the monotype,
the object of which Is to automatically
cast and set type In lines suitable to be
arranged into pages for printing. The
part OF the mechanism that determines
the order in which the letters or other
characters shall appear is a perforated
strip Of paper. that Is to be prepared by
the author or copyist Of the matter that
is to appear in print. This preliminary
work Is accomplished on an auxiliary
machine like typewriter.
The author or copyist sits at his aux
Hilary machine and operates 1t exactly
as he would a typewriter. The cylin-
der is supplied with. roll instead Of a
sheet Of paper. The roll steadily re-
wolves, and the paper Is attached by O
series of small punches that drive holes
through 1t. After having passed the
punches 1t Is rolled up on another cylin-
der.
After the operator has finished, the
perforated roll is removed and attached
to the casting machine, or monotype
proper. A lever is turned and the ma
chine suddenly becomes thing Of life.
Almost instantly glistening type-let-
ter marches out of door In the ma
chine, Immediately followed by anoth-
err and another and another. They
march along at right angles to what
may be called an ordinary printers gal
ley. Nobody is near. When the line OF
Crawford avalanche. (Grayling, Mich.) 1879-19??, 1897-12-09

ley, 1t gravely steps forward, aided by
a metal arm, and takes its place In the
galley ready for business. 1t seems
magical, and the gravity with which
the metal letters march along is ire
sistibly comic; each one seems a living
being-a weil-drilled soldier doing a
march past.
That is the whole matter; the one ma
chine, aided by the operator, punches
and sets up the type aided by no man,
and sets 1t up In such a fashion that
you could take your stereo or print from
1t at once. The type which energies
from the machine was, one-third of a
second ere 1t started, part Of simple
molten metal in a pot. When the per-
foration in the ribbon Of paper reaches
particular spot, portion of that molt-
en- metal is forced into n mott, then
nodded into type, cooled, picked out,
and set on it's legs, or rather, leg. And
the operation Is repeated about three
times In the second.
No new principle of science is involv-
ed, no startling development of electri-
city. AS matter of fact, the machine
is driven by electricity, but any other
force would serve as well. The actual
casting and setting is done by means of
compressed air. The machine works as
fast as three compositors, and, since it
produces new type each lime, the ques-
ton of bad impressions from wornout
type or plate disappears. 1t produces
automatically perfect justification"
in other words, spacing. In the case Of
writers who can typewrite, no ques-
ton of difficult scribbling occurs. For
the typewriting part being separate
from the castings, the author can write
on the machine and send over the per-
forated rolls to the Office to be put into
the machines.
The machine has been vigorously test
ed by many practical men, who are
unanimous as to its speed, efficacy and
the quality of work it produces. The

A Paris correspondent writes: The

NJ. Faure made note Of this, and
asked the fine arts minister to consult
with the director OF the Gobelins as to
the best means to secure good copy.
Three of the best artist weavers were

days In the week, and thus keep their

are the same dirt and bad smells In the
daytime, but the men and children are
then mostly absent-the former at
work and the latter on the downtown
streets begging, stealing, and In other
ways trying to scrape together the
amount OF money which the padrone
has named as the stint. In most cases
this Is 30 cents for each child. Those
who bring this sum back with them at
night get some kind OF food and shelter
and escape punishment; those who fail
are starved and beaten.

Continued Expectations.

The expectation of manufactures goes
steadily on under the Dingley law, despite
the assertion of the Democrats that re-
turn of the protective system would re-
duce our markets for American manufac-
lures abroad. The value Of exported man
ufaOtures, the product of American work
shops, during the first nine months of the
present year, amounts to $212,4TS,S1J,
against $1S4, S07, 004 in the corresponding
months of last year, while in the month
of September, 1897, there was an increase
of between one and two million dollars
over September of the preceding year.

they Feed on Calamity.

Nothing seems to please the politicians
of the Bryan stripe so much as calamity
of whatever nature. Ex-Candidate Bry-
an in his speech at Newark, Ohio, the
other day, triumphantly pointed out the
fact that wheat, which passed the dollar
line in August and September, dropped
ten cents bushel after doing so and sug-
gested that the Republican party had not
been able to keep wheat at a dollar a
bushel. Curiously wheat had again pass
ed the dollar line, two or three days prior
to this statement of Mr.. Bryan, who APP
parently thought that his hearers were
not posted on wheat prices.

Democrats Keen Mum.

The Democratic orators who were ex-
pecting to make mince meat of the feature
of the Dingley law relating to expectation
of American manufactures have lapsed
into singular silence. Nor are they max
ing comparisons of the expectations I'M
der the new law and those of year ago
under the Wilson law. For their exclu-
sive information. attention is directed to
the fact that these expectations aggre-
gated during the second month of the
Dingley law $103,3G0,00O, as against
$S3, $4,000 in the corresponding month
of last year.
