the output of fertile imagination.
The Worlds story.
New York, July 1.-THE World
says: "a plot to assassinate President
Mckinley has been frustrated. 1t was
concocted by a group of Spanish and
Cuban eonspirators with headquar-
tiers in New York, One of the plot
ters weakened and sent a warning
letter to a member of the republican
national committee. That letter was
placed in the hands of Secretary
Charles Dick, who referred it to Chair
man Odell, of the New York state

gagged detective, who speedily YER

MODERN MACHINERY.
Printing Presses of 1850 and
Those of Today.

The history and growth Of the
HERALD can be told in the difference
of the machines in use in 1850 and
those of today. The first issues of
the paper were printed and all the
job work for number of years was
done upon an old Washington hand
press, picture of which is given
elsewhere. The process of printing
was then slow and laborious. For
each impression the type had to be
linked by hand and the sheet of pa
per laid on a frame and adjusted to
the-form. The capacity of the press
with two operators, one to ink the
forms and the other to lay on the
sheet, turn the crank that pushed it
back into the press and then pull the
lever that put on the impression,
was about two a minute or 100 an
hour. The Babcock Dispatch press
with Dexter folder now in use in the
HERALD office, prints the four pages,
pastes them, cuts and folds them
ready for the mail or delivery at the
rate OF 5000 per hour. The press is
driven by III horse power electric
motor, and all the devil" has to do
is to put the big sheets in, the press
does the rest. A cut of the present
press is also given in this issue. The
boys call it mo. So" nicknamed af-
ter one of the huge locomotives on
the Iowa Central railway. Previous
to its installment a Potter cylinder
press was used for about twenty-five
years, which had a guaranteed ca
pacity Of 500 but was made to run
from about 1000 to 200 after the
daily was started in 1887. Before
the Potter was putin an old style Pot
ter press had been used for num-
Der OF ears, but it soon proved in
adequate for the growing demands
OF the paper In addition to the big
press, which is used exclusively for
newspaper work and on which an
average OF thirty-six thousand inn
pressions weekly are taken, the

MUSICAL.

The recital given by a number of Mr..
Riccardo Ricci's pupils on Tuesday
evening last may be pronounced an un-
qualified success. The full attendance
and enthusiastic applause testified to
the great interest taken in Mr. Ricci's
work, and the uniform excellence of
the programme reflected credit alike
ON master and pupils 1t is difficult on
such occasions to single out any mem
Der for special mention, but amongst
the more advanced students the sing
ing of Miss Sue Caldwell, Miss Frazier,
Mrs. Crago and Mr.. Baum calls for un-
stinted praise. Mrs. Waterhouse and
Mrs. Klee, too, deserve notice for their
charming rendering of Mililotti's Duet
La Notte, and amongst the newer
members of the class Miss A. Metzner,
Miss although suffering from
a severe cold-Mr. Crawford and Mr.
Curtis Clark, gave exceptional promise
The concerted music was eXquisitely
rendered, a sextette by Lucantoni and
Mrs. Ricci's May-time being by many
regarded as the gems of the evening
We cannot speak too highly of Mrs.
Riceis musicianly and sympathetic ac-

much to the success of the evening.
