MIR. CHARLTON ON BuTTONHOLES
Charlton, NJ. c.; Bellaire o.; button
hOlomaker. The chief claim OF Mr..
Charlton is that while any housewife
can produce buttonhole. IL provided
with a pair of scissors and q piece OF
cloth, his inventio-. develops button
holes out of a chaos without any basic
provision other than a reasonable de-
gree OF purity of the air which is fed
into the machine. Mr.. Charlton takes
occasion IN his prospectus to make an
argument for his discovery. couched
IN part In these words: Some people
at first glance may not see the benefits
arising from free and unlimited coin

will perceive at once the great boon
resting in my invention. We can get
along without gold, and we can get
along without asphalt pavements, for a
benefcent Providence has given us
green ink and printing presses on the
one hand and yitrified brick on the
other; but who in this day Of fashion

that we can get along without button

clothes? Imagine a man putting on a

your face with bushes. l firmly de-
clare that he who makes two buttm-
holes grow where one grew before will
be called blessed among men. Heaps

TEN EYcK SHUT OUT.
The Worcester Oarsman VIII Not BE Al
lowed to Row at Henley.

LONDON, April 16.-secretary Coop
er has issued a statement that the Hen
ley regatta committee has decided to
refuse the entry of Ten Eyck, the Amer
lean oarsman, under rule 10, which
reads:
"The committee shall have power to
refuse or return any entry up to the
time of starting. without being bound
to assign a reason"
There is considerable feeling at Hen
ley against allowing Ten Eyck to enter
this years regatta. This is said to be
due to his attending banquet at Put
ney, where all the Thames professionals
were present, and also because of the
statements made in American newspa-
pers that the Ten Eycks received on
their return to the United States last
year the sum of $4,000, which was con-
sldered among the English oarsmen as
II they had taken pay for their time.
1t was added, however, that il Ter
Eyck, who won the diamond SOULS al

would be on the statement that ths
Worcester Boat club at a meeting
agreed to provide the funds for Tel
Eycks trip, which is forbidden undel

 Though standing on the very thresh- old of a great war, there is nothing whatever approaching a panicky feel ing in financial circles. Our respOnSl- bilities have already been carefully weighed; it has been fore-calculated what will be the drain upon the treas ury and the effect upon our trade; and the situation is viewed with full con- victiOn that we are financially well prepared for whatever may come and can maintain our ability to keep our bushes interests under compact con- trol and our industries reasonably ac- tive when our navy and our soldiers are engaged in the direful activities, of war.

 For many years the best barbers in New York bought the combs used in cutting hair from several Germans who lived on lower east side, and de- voted their time to the manufacture of these articles. The Germans made the combs from bone, and to the un- professional observer the combs show ed no marked difference from those to be bought anywhere. In reality they possessed a merit which made them highly valued by the barbers. They were so shaped that as they were run through the hair it was held up in way that exhibited the slightest ir- regularity in length. It was this par ticular quality that made them valu- able. Within the last few years sev- era1 of the comb makers have died. and today only one is left to carry on the manufacture. As a consequence the combs have greatly increased in price, and the old man who still sup plies them finds his work more profit able than it ever was before. Nobody i else has learned the secret of making them, and so the art seems likely to ] die with the man who makes them now.
 A man who has just returned from a western trip said yesterday: While I was in San Francisco I visited one of the telephone exchanges there to wit ness a novel experiment. of applying an automatic photograph to a tele- phone switch board, to do the work of an operator. The result was satis- factory to the telephone company, but
 it must have been heartbreaking to some of their subscribers. This phon- ograph was so arranged that when a subscriber called up a numper that was busy, the pnonograph answered
 Busy now. Call up later This was the invariable reply whenever a busy
 number was called for, and it was giv- en in a monotonous tone of voice. admired the c1everness of the applica-

THE SINEWS OF WAR.
A Suggestion as to the Means of Rais
 ing Money For War Purposes.

Washington, April 14.-In the event
 of war with Spain it would be a very
 simple matter for tie government to provide for the money needs, consid- ering the present wealth of the nation and the high credit standing of the United States government. As it is not likely to be an easy matter to get a bill passed by congress for an issue of bonds payable 'tin gold,'' as it would
 seem to make an invidious distinction against the issues payable ''in coin,' ,'' it might be better for the government to issue a treasury note having five years to run, bearing 31s per cent in- terest, principal and interest payable in gold, as an emergency war loan. There would be no difficulty in floating $1 100000, 900 of such notes at par Or, instead of this, there should be no diff ficulty in providing for war expenses by taxation without issuing any new securities. If a tax on tea, coffee, spirits and stamps is imposed similar to that during the civil war, which, together with stamp tax on all busi-

THE CAPTURE OF CUBA.
The Interception of Westbound Span
 ish Fleets Planned.

Washington, April 14-It is an open secret that the deliberations of the strategic experts of the army and navy have been mainly directed to secur- Ing control of the island of Cuba as a necessary preliminary to the ameliora- tion of existing conditions. This has proved a most troublesome war prob lem. inasmuch as it involves the sub jugation of the Spanish forces now in control of all the Cuban ports, and the subsequent disposition of an army of 100000 soldiers in case of their sur render. sii as
 So far as known, the plans of cam paign contemplate the seizure of Cuba and the interception of any and all Spanish fleets that may be dispatched to that island. The Philippines, the Canaries and Spain itself are not fac tors in the plans except as they may be, brought into it by subsequent events.
 The capture of Cuba has been de volved upon Captain Simpsons large fleet now rendezvoused at The Tortu- gas and Key West, and constituting g the most powerful aggregation of war ships that the United States has as sembled aC one point since the war of the rebellion. The duty of this squad ron will be to invest the island and bOmbard all ports where resistance is offered. The main portion of the fleet will be devoted to the capture of Ha- vana. That place is strongly torti- fled and the harbor is a network of mines, but no doubt is felt as to it's subjugation, especially since the de parture of the Spanish cruisers Viz caya and Oquendo. The cruiser AL fOnso XII is still there, but no fear is felt on her account. No difficulty is anticipated in the subjugation of all the Cuban ports by bombardment or in other ways.

The BurIington's. New Trains

Railroad men who have had the
privilege of examining the four
new trains which the Burlington
/ Route, on the lst of May, placed
in service between Denver and
Chicago say they are as magniii-
Gently equipped as any in the
country that even the famous
limited expresses between Chicago
and New York are not handsomer
or more luxurious. Every car is
wide vestibuled, and was built es-
pecially for the Burlington Route.
The four trains are identical in
appearance and arrangement
Each is composed of buffet
smoking-librarycar, a palace sleep
ing-car, and two reclining-chair
p,---r-rrr uurrct=sruoKrUy-fTp
car is something new for a Denver
Chicago line. 1t is veritable
clubhouse on wheels, where one
may read, write, smoke, talk or
play cards, while travelling at the
rate of fifty miles an hour. 1t is
handsomely carpeted and furnish
ed with settees, cushioned easy
chairs, lavatory, writlng-desk,
a compartment for card-players,
and n well-stocked buffet. The
current periodicals and news
papers are on file, and a carefully
selected library is provided for the
free use of passengers. The sleep
ing car is a gem, and the chair
and dining-cars are in every way
worthy of the train of which they
form an important part.
The Burlington Route takes
palatial trains through to Omaha
and Chicago in marvellously quick
time. Leaving Denver at $50
a. m. today on one of them you
are landed in Chicago at 2:l5 to-
morrow afternoon, there making
close connections with trains for
all points east. The running time
from Denver to Chicago is only
twenty-seven and three-quarter
hours. just how fast that is will
be best understood when it is
stated that it is almost five hours
faster than the fastest schedule
in effect prior to February 6. 1898.
