This company has recently placed its
Universal keyboard electrical typewrit-
err on the market. With this machine
the operator merely touches the keys
and the electricity does the work.
In fact. the application of electricity
to the typewriter has made 1t possible
to improve the machine. increase its
speed, and reduce the labor Of the OPP
orator to an extent heretofore not con-
sidered possible.
The Cahill Company has been engag-
ed for years in perfecting its machines,
has acquired a monopoly Of all the
most valuable electrical typewriter
patent rights, has built up large plant
and factory. and in order to increase
Its facilities for manufacturing its ma
chimes in large quantities and at low
cost. has recently authorized an in
crease of its capital stock from $4,000
to $3.50, 600, of which 81 900. 900 is

that il dividend is not paid one year,

M'GovERN TRAINING HARD.
Ready for His Battle With Joe Gam
mt Chicago Tonight.

MILWAUKEE, Dec. 12.-Terry Meow
ern will train almost to the hour Of his
fight with Joe Cans. He kept up today
the running, sparring, and wrestling that
have constituted his daily programme ever
since he came to Milwaukee. Even to-
morrow, the day of the fight, he says he
will do little light work before taking
the train for Chicago, because he does
not want to take any chances on his mus
cles going stiff.
The weather has been very severe and
windy, and Terry's trainer has been in
dread of the fighter catching cold that
might slow him up a bit. Sam Harris is
said to be backing his man with more
money in this fight than he ever put up
on McGovern before.

MAY GET BACK PAY.
Treasury Rear Admiral Schley
May Receive 4 Goodly Sum.

Under decision rendered by the
controller Of the treasury, Rear Ad-
miral W. s. Schley stands good
chance of securing back pay as a rear
admiral from the date when he was
first proposed by the president for that
grade as reward for his services off
Santiago. The controller made a rul-
ing in the case of Lieutenant Com
rnander 81. o. Rittenhouse, of the navy,
the circumstances of whose claim for
back pay we're identical with the claim
of schley.
The latter will, of course, be obliged
to present a claim formally before
there can be decision in his favor.
The auditor ruled against the Ritten-
house claim, and is likely to rule
against schley's claim, but the con-
troller will probably follow his own
line Of reasoning and overrule the
auditor as he has done in the Ritten-
house claim.
The present ruling is based on an
opinion rendered recently by the at
torney general, and naval officers have
been greatly interested In the matter.
Bear Admiral Sampson does not come
within the ruling, and Will not receive
the back pay accorded to other officers.
