HOW BANNERS ARE MADE.

Every available artist has been EN-
ployed in painting portraits of the presi-
Dental and other candidates on the cam
paign banners, says a Chicago paper.
These campaign artists work in three
shifts and turn out completed banners at
a rate which makes the price, ranging
from $50 to 5000, seem extravagant The
FIRST division of artists works from pho
tographs They make an enlarged copy
of the features of the subject and then
cut out a stencil for the use of the second
brigade. The men who handle the stem
ellis are not required to have much artis-
tic skill. After using the stencil on the
canvas they roughly fill in the outlines
of the face and also trough in" the hair,
cheeks and clothing The third division
of artists then takes hold and finishes up
the work. They must be really skillful

A certain colonel on the staff of one
of Grants generals was much given to
noyel-reading. and went about with his
saddle-bags stuffed full of thrilling ro-
mances. For weeks be had been de-

while passing through a Confederate
town. he saw a young lady seated on a
porch. and. stopping bis horse. bowed

pOTY' q MACHINES IN USE.

During the last few years voting ma
chimes have been adopted for practical
use in Syracuse, Hornellsyille and James
town, n. Y, and they have been given
successful trials in several other cities.
In the election Of November, 1899, voting
machines were used in the city Of De-
troit, and the returns were collected and
completed within twenty~one minutes af-
ter the closing of the polls. The claim
of the advocates of the machine is that
it not only greatly facilitates the collee-
ton of the returns but that at the same
time it prevents frauds and does away
with the great expense of preparing pa
per ballots.
In he ca of the typical voting ma
chine the vo. sets the machine ready
for use by closing behind him the door of
the voting booth as he enters it. Before
him are rows of horizontal knobs, as
many rows as there are parties making
nominations. At the left of each row is
the name and emblem of tn party, the
nominees of which are named on the
knobs d chat row. A single pull of the

Goldviu Smith thinks that marriage Is
protection against suicide. He says:
statistics show that suicide is largely
on the increase The inference which
some would draw Is that progress has
failed TO produce happiness. 1t is true
that mankind has grown more restless.
and that with multiplied desires and
heightened aspirations there have come
new sources of discomfort. but the gen
eral fact probably is that scnsibility has
increased with civilization. 1t seems TO
be proved sfatisticlly that marriage Is
safeguard against suicide. while divorce
is specially prod active Of it. Marriage
no doubt is too often the disillasiOn Of
love Yet the immense majority of mar
riages are happier than lonely life"

LEAVING THE ZAND RIVER.
The Beers, Apparently Not Yet Ready
to Make II stand Against
Gen. Roberts.

London, May 10.-Although the Brit
ish expected considerable opposition
at the difficult drift of the Iand river,
the latest adyices from Smalldeel,
Orange Free State, indicate that the
federals are not ready to make de-
termincd attack to stem Lord Roberts
advance. The latter's front, indeed, is
so wide and overwhelming in numbers
that it is difficult to see how the Beers
cnn help being ousted of Virginia Sid
ing as they were out of Smalldeel,
even if they elected to give battle.
The same considerations would
probably affect the situation at Kroon-
stad, hence the belief that little real
opposition will be encountered south
OF the Naal.
The repairs to the bridges over the
Vet river and the Vaal are expected
20 retard the general march from
Smaldeel and Fourteen Streams for
three or four days, when Gen. Butler
will also be ready.
The general idea is that Lord Rob-
eIfs will direct his right on Harri-
smith, in order to get in touch with
the Natal army coming through Van
Reenen's pass. A dispatch from Mase-
ru, dated May s, says the Beers have
deserted both Ladybrand and Ficks-
burg in panicky condition, owing to
reports that the British had occupied
Zenckal, thus threatening their re-
treat, TO the Transyaal.

NOT A STREET CAR IS MOVING.
Complete Paralysis of the Entire
street Car system of the
CITY of 81. Louis.

st. Louis, May l0.-Not car of the
st. Louis Transit Co. or the Suburban
company, which comprise the entire
street railway service of the city, is
moving, The police department and
the street railway companies reached
I'm agreement whereby 1t was under
stood that no attempt would be made
to run cars Wednesday except the
United States mail cars, and the worm
out policemen were permitted TO take
u little rest after their exciting expc-
rcnces Of Tuesday, when they were
kept busy dealing with mobs of hood
lIms who took advantage of the strike
to show alleged sympathy with the
strikers by demolishing the cars that
were placed upon the roads. During
Tuesday two or three persons re-
cciyed bullet wounds, u number OF
rioters and policemen were hurt with
flying missiles and at least n dozen
cars were denudcd of windows and
otherwise defaced, while quite num-
Der of boys were arrested, being
caught in the act of throwing rocks
and stones.
It was stated shortly after noon
that the Suburban line would be start
cd at p, IN, under police protection.
Meanwhile the leading men of the
city nrc studying the situation In the
hope that some plan of adjustment
NAY be arrived at.

Strike Still On.

The street railway strike ordered at
Little Rock last week was still unset
tied on the 10th inst. A committee of
leading business men tried to bring
about a settlement of the trouble, but
did not succeed.
On the third day Of the strike apph-
cation was made to Judge Williams for
the appointment of a receiver for the
street car company, the application be-
ing made by Boston trust company.
Mr. Johnson, president of the street
car company, was appointed receiver.
He announced at once that all applica-
tions from former employees would be
considered, and the fact that the men
had gone on a strike would be no bar
to their securing employment, but that
he would not discharge any Of the nom
union men employed since the strike.
The various lobor unions, many mer-
chants and professional men contrib
uted literally in cash to aid the strikers,
For the first six days of the strike
the street car company's receipts were
less than 10 per cent of its regular earn
ings, while the hacks operated by the
strikers were well patronized,
