Typewriting ny Electricity.

Electric typewriters are expected to
make their appearance on the market
this autumn. A number of them have
been patented and there will be some
rivalry. They will cost about 5000.
The electric typewriter is a power
machine, all the work of the moying
parts being done by an electric motor,
while the operator simply indicates
the characters. 1t looks like an ordi-
nary typewriter and the keyboard is
the same. The printing is accom-
plished by mere contact of the finger.
No pressure being required, there is
no fatigue. Another advantage is that
speed is practically unlimited. The
work is done as fast as the keys can

Hairpins at Confirmation.

MISS GEORGIA CAYVAN.
Well-knOwn Actress Now In New
York Hospital and Not Expected
to Recover.

Georgia Cayvan, well known to thea
ter-goers as one of the most popular
of American actresses a decade or
more ago, is in private hospital in New
York. She is suffering from nervous
prostration and her physicians say
there is little prospect for her restora-
ton to health.
Her collapse is mental as well as
physical and only her most intimate
friends are permitted to see her.
The cause of her illness is believed
to be her failure to recover completely
from an operation performed five years

ABLE BOER GENERAL.
Christian De Wet Is Keeping the
British Force in South Africa
Busy just Now.

Gen. Christian De Wet, who was in
command of the Boer troops to whom
400 British soldiers have surrendered
at Dewetsdorp, is military creation
of the present war in South Africa.
He was not heard of in the earlier op-
erations, but during the past six
months has been the leading figure Of
the war on the Boer side. De Vets
forces have been reported "broken

ago. She was compelled after that to
retire from the stage for year. When
she resumed her professional work the
long tours from one end of the coun-
try to the. other exhausted her
strength.
The last bulletin from the sanitarium
at Flushing. where Miss Cayvan is be-
ing treated, announces that there is
little hope for her recovery.
Since she was member of the Ly-
ceum Theater company Miss Cayvan
has lived at 351 West One Hundred and
was there she was taken so i'll last
summer as to make it necessary for
her sister to take up her residence with
her. She had previously lived in the
house with Miss Cayvan, but had more
recently returned to her home in Dor
chester, Mass.
Miss Cayvan improved somewhat in
health after her sister came to live
with her, but the change was only
temporary. She is now compelled to
live in such seclusion that her inti-
mate friends are kept from her room.
She has grown thin. At times she raj
lies from her melancholy, but these
spells of improvement are only tenn
porary.
Miss Cayvan retired from the stage
three years ago after an unsatisfactory
supply of plays had prevented her from
meeting with success.

been run to death" score of times,
but he has always reappeared ap-
parently as strong as ever. His re-
treat across the Vaal was highly
praised by British generals as mas
terpiece of military work. AS re-
treater De Wet is said to be a marvel,
but until now he has not proved him
self a strong or resourceful COM
mander.

Piano Key, for Children.

Half-sized pianos are being made in
Germany for the use of children who
are learning to play. Doctors declare
that much permanent injury is done
to the muscles of the fingers by en-
deavoring to stretch an octave or
more, so the new pianos are made
with keys half the usual width in or
der to prevent such injury.
