How New Inventions Benefit Wage
Farmers.

Casters Magazine gives some fig
ures that show in a striking manner
how new inventions benefit wage earn
ers by providing employment in new
lines of industry. In 1880 there were
no electric street ears. Less than H.
900 men operated 1850 miles of street
ear lines then in existence. There are
now over $4,000 miles of electric lines,
employing l60,0 men. In 1870 the
census reported only 154 shorthand
writer's in the United States. Owing to
the invention Of the typewriter there
are now about 35. 900 stenographers and
typewriters, OF whom 81, 200 are
women.

states that she is the party who has

Sensation for Wisconsin solons.

was created in the assembly by an i'm

who said that Senator Green, of Mil
waukee had intimated to Rusk that tn,
fate of Rusk's measures in. the legisla-
ture might depend on the fate of the
Milwaukee water registrar bill, which
Rusk interpreted as an attempt at in
timidation, apparently. The registrar
bill was passed. The senate passed -

been two instances in which the entire
proffer of meat had been rejected at
Lakeland, and on three of four other
occasions a portion of the consignment
had been refused. He recalled a visit
to Lakeland early in August when one
consignment was rejected, and found 10
his surprise the beef lying on the plat
form. He had then had conversation
with Captain Carmichael! but he did not
remember that there was any other
person present except Lieutenant Dix
on He did not remember to have then
seen or to have ever met Lieutenant
CAMPER. who had testified that More
house had said the meat had been
treated to a chemical process for
preservation. No questions had been
addressed to him concerning the chem
ical preservation of the meat. He had
rever used any expression to ana one
to indicate that chemicals had been
used. Cross Morehouse said
he believed his memory as TO reflections
would be more reliable with the excep-
tion of dates than the memorandum of
commissary officer of the army.
Colonel c. a. Woodruff. purchasing
officer for the commissary department
at New York was recalled. He said he
rejected some IeEQSTS OF canned
roast beef, but that he did not remem-
Der the names of the bidders in any
such cases. Colonel Woodruff stated
that in one instance canned beef which
had been shipped to Liverpool, England.
was brought back to this country and
sold for the use Of the army. This pur-
chase amounted to $50. 600 pounds. The
beef as he understood it, had been
stored in Armour's warehouse in Liver
pool and had been sent abroad with
the view of selling il to the British
government Colonel Woodruff had let
ters read from representatives OF vari-
Gus firms engaged in canning beef. all
saying that the beef sold to the army
was of first-class quality, and of the
same quality as the beef shipped to for
eign countries and sold to the navy
department in large quantities.
