MACHINE VOTING.
Marvel or Speed No Delay For re
turns-As The Last Voter Casts his
Ballet The Machine Gives The
Figures.

The success of the voting maehine at
Rochester makes IL probable that the
days OF the ballot box in this state are
numbered. The voting machiue does
all the work of eanvaSscrs and tally
clerks. All the voter has To do Is to
move handle over face that looks
like the switch board Of "A telephone
central Office, and when he leaves the
booth the apparatus clicks aud HIS vote
is not only recorded, bat is added on
TO the total. When the maehius is
locked at the suJ of the day, IL has
automatically added up the vote OF
svery candidate.
The machine in Rochester worked
perfectly, and there will be IA bin in-
troduced into tho Legislature direct
ing the use OF the Inachiues all oyer
the State. In Rochester, which is "a
city of l33, 600 people. there we're
seventy-three standard voting ua-
chimes employed aud the result was
that the total vote of Rochester was
known In just thirty seven min utss af-
ter the polls closed. This time WAS
required 10 get the totals OF the seventy
three machines toge thor aud add them
In Syracuse, which has ~. 600 Icss
population than Rochester, ths return
was not complete until midnight.
There are as many stupid men ir
Rochester as anywhere else, but with
the voting machine the dullest voter
could not get mixed up The voter
cannot lose his vote by voting for two
candidates for tho same Office, the
most frequent blunder noticed when
ordinary ballots are counted
There are no springs in the machan.
ism 50 there is nothing likely To rot
out Of order; not one of the seventy
three machines used at Rochester
failed To do the work expected of il.
There Is a little lever before each
maine on the face Of the machine and
the voter picks out his ticket by shift
ing these from perpendicular 10 hori-
zontal. IL he chooses TO vote a straight
ticket he merely moyef handle over
the party en blem at the head of the
column. and when the machine regis.
ters 1t records vote for every eandi-
date under that emblem. Moving the
levers does not record the vote. SO
there is all the opportunity for correc-
ton that one could desire. IL is only
when the man inside the booth opens
the curtains To leave that his vote is
counted as Indicated by the levers. The
totals OF the votes cast can only be
read when the machine Is locked
against voting,
The voting can only be done when
the curtains that hide the voters aro
closely drawn, and as he steps back the
little levers all fly 70 perpe udicular
again, and there is nothing by which a
man can tell how the man ahead OF
him voted
II a voter wants TO vote nesrly

dicsts every candidate on his list. tie
merely moves the haHdle Of the EN- blem
under which most Of his candidates arc
ranged and then moves the individual
lever Tor the exceptions, aad the wise

The Mount Holly news. [volume] (Mount Holly, Burlington Co., N.J.) 1891-1942, 1898-01-25

The Rev. James Boyd Brady, pastor of
the Peoples Temple, in Boston, presides
over the destinies of the largest Methodist
church in the country.
Big, candid, Scotch Irishman that he is,
DR.. Brady has built up the Temple inan-
cially and numerically, and to-day he is
pastor of flock of 100.
DR.. Brady devotes himself with unfag-
ging courage to anything he undertakes.
The chief characteristic of his ministry
has been progress, in number, financial
condition and moral and spiritual growth.
He is a man of plain, but vigorous words.
So much has been said and written about
DR.. Brady-his work, his progressive
methods, his eloquence and his power as
a minister, that the following letter from
him will be convincing and helpful to
many persons besides the large number
who are every Sunday influenced for good
by his powerful preaching. He writes;
Boston, Sept. q, 1897.
Paine's celery compound, if widely and
wisely used, would relieve nervousness,
soothe restlessness, reduce sickness,
strengthen the body, invigorate the mind,
and add years of happiness to life.

NECESSITIES COSTLY.

In Paris Water Is the Most Precious and
Exclusive Drink.
"Water is the most precious and ex-
elusive drink you can order in Paris, ,"
writes Lillian Bell in letter from the
French capital to The Ladies' Home
journal. "1ma&ine that, you who let
the water run to cool It'll In Paris they
actually pay for water in their houses
by the quart. Artichokes and truffles
and mushrooms and silk stockings and
kid gloves are so cheap here that it
makes you blink your eyes, but eggs
and cream and milk are Injuries. Silks
and velvets are bewilderingly inexpen-
sive, but cotton stuffs are from America
and are extravagances. They make them
up into costumes and trim them with
velvet ribbon. Never by any chance
could you be supposed to send cotton
frooks to be washed every week. The
luxury Of fresh, starched muslin dresses
and plenty of shirt waists is unknown.
81 never shall overcome the ecstasies
of laughter which assail me when see
varieties of coal exhibited in tiny shop
windows, set forth in high glass dishes,
as we exploit chocolates at home. But
well they may respect it, for it is really
very much cheaper to freeze to death
than to buy coal in Paris. The reason
of all this is the city tax on every chick
en-, every carrot every egg brought into
Paris. Every mouthful of food is taxed.
This produces an enormous revenue, and
this is why the streets are SO clean. 1t
is why the asphalt is as smooth as
ballroom floor. It is why the whole of
Paris is as beautiful as dream"

OF indigestion, nervousness, constipation,
and general weakness, and endure the
consequent loss of health without consid-
ering how easily the cause of all this i'll
ness might be remedied.
Needful nerve and tissue nourishment
is at the bottom of all permanent build
ing up of the health.
Paine's celery compound looks out for
the insidious weakening of the nervous
system through malnutritlon. 1t gives d
healthy tone to the stomach, increases the
blood supply, quiets and equalizes the ir-
ritated nerve action and promptly feeds
the tissues when the bodily vigor is at it's
lowest ebb, and should not be further
taxed.
The only cure, therefore, for rheuma-
tism, neuralgia or general debility that is
lasting in its good effects must rest on a
radical cleansing of the blood and build
ing up of the nervous tissues. All this is
best done by Paine's celery compound, be-
cause this remarkable remedy begins at
the beginning, wherever there is disease,
and establishes the health firmly and be-
yond any fear of falling back.
The WORKOUT person who cannot sleep
should take Paine's celery compound. 1t
is folly to imagine that every hour taken
from sleep is an hour gained. Nothing
undermines health and energy like loss
of sleep. The nervous system suffers as
much from lack of sleep as from lack of

AN OLD GOVERNMENT DIE.

Used by a Lawyer as Paperweight For
Years.
In the course of a lecture at the Ap-
prentices library A. E. Outerbridge
Jr., related an interesting incident that
serves to show how much more careful
Uncle Sam is in the destruction of old
dies for coins than he used to be. "Some

was visiting the office of friend who is
lawyer, when l noticed upon his desk
a little metal object, covered with three
or four coats of red paint, which was
apparently in use as paperweight. 1t
was government die for silver dollar
of 1909, and for my friend to have it in
his possession was penal offense. He
did not know what it was until ! told
him, and he informed me that it had
been around the Office as paperweight
as long as he could remember-40 years
at least. I gave him silver weight in
its place and informed the authorities
at Washington of the circumstance, also
forwarding my friends affidavit as to
what he knew about it.
cat that time, though all dies were
supposed to be destroyed when discard
ed, the system was rather lax, and they
sometimes found their way into the pos
session of junk dealers. I agreed to turn
over the die upon condition that it
should not be destroyed, but kept in the
numismatic collection at the Philadel-
phia mint, and that might borrow it
at a future time to illustrate lecture.
The conditions were agreed to, and /
have brought the die with me tonight
to show to you. had to write a very
formal letter to get it, stating the pur-
pose for which it was to be used, and it
must be returned tomorrow morning"

Pure Water and New Boilers.

The corrosive power of pure water on
new or unscaled boilers was we'll illus
trated in the city of Glasgow when a
new water supply was introduced from
Loeb Katrine, one of the purest waters
in the world which are available for
city consumption. The former supply
had been poor and calcareous, and old
boilers were much coated with lime
scale. To the dismay of the users those
who had put in new boilers or new
tubes found them rapidly corroding,
while the old scaled and coated boilers
remained as before. Those, too, who
had removed every possible trace Of old
incrustation from their old boilers by
mechanical or chemical means, intend
ing thus to get, as they expected, the
full benefit of pure water, were also
badly troubled by oorrosion, and even
the old boilers as the scale was gradual
ly removed by the unyaryingly soft and
pure water from the lake were more or
less oorroded when no meanswere taken
to prevent 1t.
