same way.
Net was first made by machinery in
1I6S. The machine vas ar adaptation
Of the stocking loom to lacemaking
and was cumbrous and not very effect
i've. In 1909 John Heathcote, a farm
er's son, evolved from consciousness
and experience the first machine to
make true bobbinet with perfect six
sided holes. 1t brought a great hue and
cry about his ears from laceworkers,
who fancied they saw themselves thus
reduced to beggary.
The Luddites broke into the factory
where. the machines were first set up
and made scrap iron and kindling wood

the new manufacture to other and
safer quarters. For long the secret Of
the machines construction was most
jealousy guarded by English manufac-
turers. Not satisfied with letters pat
ent they kept up a coast patrol to make
sure that nobody took model or draw
ings to France.
At last. though. they were outwitted.
A discharged workman who had the

safe over sea and build a machine in
France.

New York, Aug. 12.-Shamrock IL,
apple of the eye of that game sports
man, Sir Thomas Upton, has arrived
on American shores in quest of the
Americas cup. The yacht upon which
all Britain is depending to lift the
trophy which has never crossed the sea
since the good old schooner America
won it way back in 1851, arrived off
Sandy Hook in tow of the yacht Erin at
1899 last night.
A little later the Erin put out her tow
ing light, signifying that she had drop
ped her tow, and both yachts cast an
chor outside the bar at 11:4S o'clock.
When it became known in the harbor
and along the water front that the chal-
lenger had indeed arrived there was
great commotion.
Hoarse whistles blew and sharper
notes piped from lighter craft along the
shore, and a rousing weicome accorded
the newcomer in such a way as only the
craft in New York harbor can give it.
The news spread down town, and it was
not long before the newspapers had
chartered tugs and We're out to get as
close a view as possible of the craft and
get if possible tidings of the voyage.

land. on the morning Of Saturday, July

man. brakeman, whose home is at
Clinton. Iowa, was caught between a
Chicago & Northwestern train and the
depot platform at Union yesterday and
perhaps fatally crushed.

train to carry them to Marengo, where
the injured man had been taken. The
father and brother had the special
train all to themselves, Chapman's wife

of her health.
Chapman was removed to a hospital
at Belvidere in the afternoon, and hope
for his recovery is expressed. The kind-
ness Of the railroad company in furnish-
ing special train is praised highly by

Savannah, Ca, Aug. 12-Eighteen
miles south of Savannah, near the Sea-
board Air line railway, the charred
trunk Of the body OF Joe Washington,
the negro assailant Of Mrs. j. j. Clark,
is all that remains to tell the story Of
the tragedy of Saturday night. Wash
1ngton was captured at Liberty CITY
Saturday afternoon and was brought to
Way Station, near which place his crime
was committed He was carried before
Mrs. Clark, who identified him positive
ly as the negro who had assaulted her.
The proof of guilt was absolutely con-
elusive.
The negro's positive Identification by
his victim sealed his fate. A mob of 400.
men clamored for his life. but the lead
ers carried into execution the plans OF
vengeance they had formed. The rest OF
the mob was kept at a distance while
the leaders conducted Washington to
the railroad track, where crowbar was
driven into the earth. To this Washing
ton was forced and bound with chains in
a sitting position.
Mrs. Clark was invited to apply the
torch. but she refused, and her husband
was selected in her stead. Washington
looked straight into the eyes Of Clark q,
the latter stopped down to apply the
match. He showed no signs in i,is 70 3,

she will not recover. Smiths mother.
who lives at Mount Forest. Ontario, has
been summoned.
This is the second explosion that has
occurred within forty-eight hours in the
new moguls recently put into service on
the Galena division, and the fact that
both were due to defective flues has
caused among railroad men deadly
fear of the new machines. The first ex-
.plosion occurred at Troy Grove Friday.

Alexandra into the church, while King
Edward, in the blue uniform of the King
Edward Prussian Dragons, conducted
Empress Augusta Victoria. Princess
Victoria, with Crown Prince Frederick
William and a numerous suite, fol-

the coffin. The choir from Berlin cathe-
dral sang 81 Know That My Redeemer
Liveth," and DR.. Dryander read spe-
cially written prayer, after which En-
reror Williams four eldest sons stepped
forward with drawn swords and stood
close to the coffin.
DIR. Dryander then delivered an ora
ton extolling the virtues of the dowager
empress and dwelling upon her trials
and sorrows. This was followed by the
words of the burial service, Dust to
dust, ashes to ashes" The choir then
sang the anthem, The Spirit Sayeth
They May Rest from Their Labors."
Then followed the magnificent h nm,
"Wenn Ich Einmal Soil Scheiden,s' and
beautiful rendering Of BE Thou
Faithful Unto Death.''
AS the last strains died away King
Edward and Queen Alexandra advanced
and laid wreath upon the coffin. The
king remained standing for a few mo-
ments alone beside the coffin, and then
turned and left the church, which slowly
emptied.
