wide, and all Keeling off the paper as fast
as it will run without tearing. At its
highest speed the press will use up over TWO
miles OF this paper in an hour, or fifty
miles of paper of the width Of an ordinary
newspaper page.
In terms more readily %grasped, this in
dicates a capacity of 90 600 four, six or
elght-page papers per hour. Not only are
these papers printed at this astounding
rate, but they are also cut, folded and
counted. In other words, the press per-
forms every operation connected with the
paper from the time the rolls are put into
position until the finished product energies
ready to be put on sale. Ninety thouzand
papers per hour means 1900 per minute, or
twenty-five copies for every second licked
of on your watch.
Most cf the larger newspapers have in
their ordinary issues ten or twelve pages.
OF these the press will turn out Y 600 in
an hour, 1000 to the minute or twenty
every second.
The machine weighs over sixty tons and
is massive in its proportions. Yet its touch
is as deft as that of human fingers. 1t
handles the papers accurately, cuts them
precisely and folds them up evenly, all
with speed that is well-nigh incredible.
It's operation is easy and resistless. A
man throws back a FEVER; the many shafts
and cylinders begin to %revolve, going faster
and faster until tho streams of white paper
are pouring into the machine too rapidly for
the eye to measure. On the other side the
printed sheets rain out so fast that one sees
only the continual flash of the steel fingers
that seize and forward every sheet.
The operation of the press at its highest
rate Of speed means that each paper re-
ceives its impression in less than one-ffth
OF a second. How a permanent imprint can
be made in that space of time is a marvel
difficult to comprehend. Yet it is done.
The ink does not smut nor rub off and
even the most delicate lines of an i~llustra-
ton are accurately reproduced.

The Boston Advertiser says: Justice
Baldwin of the Connecticut supreme court,
WHO has lately expressed himself so vigor-
ously in favor of the whipping-post, is per-
sonally well known to a number of leading
Boston lawyers. He was here very often
during the long proceedings before our
supreme court, and the referee appointed
by the court (ex-GOvernor Robinson),
growing out Of the Andover heresy hunt.
Prof. Baldwin, as he was then called. on
account of his connection with the Yale
law school, is exceptionally gentle in all
his language and manners and appearance,
about the last man in the world from whom
one would expect to hear a suggestion of
giving a criminal thirty lashes on the bare
back, well laid on as the judge used to
say in England in the good old days"

One OF the secrets of the success of Rob-
ert P. Porter. editor, tariff expert, superin-
tendent OF the United States census of 1890,
and recently United States diplomatic agent
in the West Indies and afterward in Ger
many, is his wonderful memory for figures.
He fairly revels in statistics. In his home
in New York there are several rooms filled
with volumes upon volumes of industrial
statistics. Many of these Mr.. Porter can
readily quote from memory. An ~illustra-
tion of tbs occurred not long ago. A Chi
cage man was Boosting of the rapid growth
of his city.
I'VE have 1000, 900 inhabitants now. You
gave us loo, 900 in 1890" he said.
"Not as much as that" replied Mr.. Por-
ter. The exact figures were 1899, $50. Your
school census of 1892 gave 1,4OO, OOO.'
The conversation then turned upon New
York City.
You underestimate that also"
Yes. We gave New York 1,515. 3O1, and
the state census of 1892 gave 1901, 739."
Where do you carry all these figures %
asked The Chicago man.
81 believe I can repeat from memory the
best part of the important figures in my
census" returned Mr.. Porter.
Can you tell me how many negroes there
wero in this country in 1902" asked the
westerner with an air of triumph.
There We're 7,47O, O4O," replied the sta
tistician without a seconds hesitation;
land there were 1O7, AIS Chinese"
The visitor took down the census report
from the book shelf and found that Mr..
Porter had not made a single mistake.

The story is told of General William Lud-
low, now military governor of Havana, that
when he was stationed at Detroit some years
ago, in charge Of river and harbor work.
he was visited by a contractor who wanted
to do some government work. With his Wis
iting card by way, of further introduction
the contractor put down on the table a crisp
$50 bill. Ludlow made no sign as to wheth-
er he had noticed this or not, but saying
they had better smoke while talking drew
forth two cigars and gave the contractor
one of them. Then turning to the table and
not seeing a match, he took the $50 note,
twisted it into a lighter, set it a1ame at
the open CRATE fire, and lit his cigar with 1t
slowly and carefully. Then he handed the
burning stump of the bill to the contractor.

GOSSIP ABOUT NOTED PEOPLE.

Prof. Albert A.. Nicholson, head instructor
of physics in the University Of Chicago
since 1892, who has just been elected an
honorary member Of the Royal Institution
Of Great Britain, was born in Strelna, Pol
and, in 1852. He has found time to invent
several important instruments for measur-
ing length by light waves. The invention
that brought him most fame is an inter-
ferometer, which not only measures light
waves. but counts the waves. His first nota-
BILE invention wGs an instrument for measur-
ing the velocity of light. He measured the
standard meter at Paris last year. He is
also the inventor of a spectroscope that
has a higher separating power than any
other instrument in use.

DEATH OF JOHN d. BARCLAY.
For Years an EmplOye of the De-
partment of Justice.

years a well-known employe Of the Depart
ment of Justice, died last night at $50
o'clock at his home, 1929 18th street north
west. He had not been in good health for
a long time, and his constitution was I'M
able to resist an attack of pneumonia.
Mr.. Barclay was son Of John Barclay, a
prominent clerk Of the House of Repre-
sentatives for years. and the author Of
Barclays Digest Of Parliamentary Rules"
The senior Barclay a close friend CT
James G. Blaine and of other prominent
men of his day, and the son likewise gained
the friendship of thess distinguished men.
He served with his father in the House for
q number of years. After going to the De-
paf-tment of Justice, Mr.. Barclay became
the doorke eper of the Attorney General.
During successive administrations he has
remained in that position, serving faithfully
and to the satisfaction of the heads of the
department.
With nearly every Attorney General his
relations were largely confidential. lie was
polite and courteous to all visitors, and 1t
is said that he never made an enemy in so
trying a position. All public men knew
him, and when visiting the department
stopped to chat with him.
Mr.. Barclay was about fifty-five years cid
ana had never married. he was {. 5rCttia--

"DangerOusly Near hmm Odesty."


The writer makes no particular claims to
squeamishness, but must confess that his
sense of ordinary modesty and common
decency is anything but edited by the ex
hibitions that women are now making of
themselves. The present fad, fancy or fash
ion OF carrying their skirts certainly causes
them to tread dangerously near to down
right immodesty Gathering up the skirt
In one hand, she draws 1t tightly across
the hips as to absolutely outline every
curve and showing plainly every movement
as she walks. Women, who under other
circums stances would recou with horror at
the mere suggestion of any expose of their
figures, unblushingly display their generous
proportions to the pubic view. Young, old,
single and married indulge in this style.
Surely no man would care to have his wife,
SISTER or daughter made the subject of the
coarse remarks of the corner loafers, and
that they csc needs no Sherlock Holmes to
discover the truthfulness of this unfortu-
nate fact.
And what makes II worse is that women
are not wholly unconscious of it, for, in
proportion to the voluptuousness of the fair
one the more decided is the revelation:
while those not So blessed with a rounded
form are more than careful not to disclose

Hospital by Sanitary Officer Frank to re-

they and a comrade named Major Bennett
were walking on the B. and Q. track near
Paw Paw, w. Va, last Saturday week,
they heard Il train approaching them, and
stepped out of its way on to another track.
As they did a mail train came around a
curve at rapid speed and struck all three.
Bennett was instantly killed they said. and
the others We're hurled to the side Of the
road.
Some of the residents of the neighbor-
hood the men said, buried Benefits body
near where it was found, and they We're
carried back to Paw Paw, where they re-
ceived the attention of a physician. There
was, however, no place in the little town
for them to stay while recovering, and
Hughes and Rollins walked to Washington
arriving last evening. The home Of the
unfortunates is about fifty-two miles from
Richmond, Va, but for some time past and
up to just before getting hurt they We're

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
In regard to the building material to be
used for the Carne3ie-Noyes free library, I
would like to suggest the use OF granite In
stead of marble, as proposed by the officials
in charge.
Without having any statistics on the sub
Ject at hand. I am under the impression
that granite is more durable than marble,
less apt to crack, dsintegrate or become
discolored with age. If granite is the best
possible material for curb stones Gas expert
ence has proved, why would it not make
the best building material2
Granite certainly has more solid and
substantial appearance than marble, and is
therefore more pleasing to the eye in a
public building. 1t With. tie Cos, Limit

Office at Washington has handed down

Mcdonald. copy of which was received
by the local land Office yesterday. This
is the long drawn out contest INVOLVING
the famous Wind Cave property near
Hot Springs, and has been frequently
referred to as the "wind cave case" By
his decision the commissioner sustains
the decision of the local officials to
effect that the land is not mineral but
orders that the homestead entry of Nc.
Donald he cancelled, holding that he
had not shown good faitn in his occu-
pancy of his homestead. The commits
sioner further holds that the ground is
not mineral in character and is not sub
ject to entry as such, the testimony
failing to show that there has been any
bearing rock that has a COM
mercial value. He recommends that
the cave be reserved by the govern
ment as public resort. Both parties
to the suit are somewhat surprised at
the outcome and will doubtless appeal
to the secretary Of the interior. 1t is
hardly probable that the latter will re-
verse the ruling of the general land

Mayor Hargens has said, IL will sleep

be had for love or money is secured, and
next week when the state people come
there will be "a greater scarcity of
room.

counties convened Monday morning
with 70 in attendance. The total en-
rollment now is l24. A prize is propos.
