AMERICANS ARE FAR AHEAD.
Machinists of This Country Have No
Equals in Any Other Land.

Equals in Any Other Land.
One of the greatest obstacles to the
general introduction Of American ma
chine tools into continental Europe Is
the ignorance of the average European
machinist. This is especially true of
the higher classes of machine tools.
The intelligence which enables an
operate machine seems to be dor
mant or entirely wanting in his Eu-
ropean brother. The American Manu-
facturer quotes the sales manager of
one of the leading manufactures OF
machine tools in this country as say
ing:
install fine machine in a shop on
the continent, and unless the maker
has sent with 1t from the works an ex-
pert to break the dunderheads into the
using of it the chances are three to
one that the perfect mechanism will
be wreck inside of forty-eight hours
after the power is applied to it. Ac-
customed to work with tools that are
crude and simple compared with the
ingenious and intricate American in
ventions, the operating machinists of
Europe are slow to comprehend the
latter and often do them a lot of dam
age by stupid handling. These facts
are so well recognized by our machine
tool builders that when giving an esti-
mate on any considerable amount of
work care is had to add enough to the
price to cover the sending of man.
or men, to install the machines and
stay with them until they have proved

Boston, Sept. 19-When Mary Collins
passed away at the Mclean asylum for
the insane at the age of 70 death ended
the sad story of a life blasted by a
faithless lover who deserted her on the
eve of marriage.
For fifty-three years Miss Collins was
an inmate of Mclean asylum. She was
once worthy belle Of Halifax. n. S.,
and fell desperately in love with titled
Englishman whose acquaintance she
formed In Getaway. He showered her
with diamonds and costly constantly
heirlooms-and their engagement was
the talk of society. On the eve of the
wedding day he left her, even taking the
gems he had hung about her neck
Reason deserted her when she received
note from him telling why he had fled
and how he had deceived her, and she
was taken to Mclean asylum. where
she became star boarder, paying SIPS

nurse and g. companion, and was often
taken out driving. Her principal hallu-
cination was that she owned the asy-
lum and that the other patients We're

Roosevelt TO Investigate the Efficiency
of the Bureau.

s. T.
washington. Sept 19.-one of this first
matters President Roosevelt will take
up after his return from Canton will be
In relation to the secret service. Presi-
dent Roosevelt has already given some
consideration to this matter, and from
the account of eyewitnesses to McKin-
leys' assassination he has most serious
doubts regarding the efficiency and val
ue of the protection given to his prede-
cessor. 1t appears from the reports
that have been made to the president
that the secret service men who We're
with Mckinley We're not men with such
experience as to be trusted with such
duties. They were not detectives ac-
quainted with criminal methods. nor
were they alert In their duty as guards
to the president. They did not even ac-
complish the arrest of the assassin, as
appears from the report of Capteif,
Wiser of the Seventy-third coast artil-
lery, whose men were on duty and dis
armed Czolgosz after the negro Parker
had struck him down.
In none of the official reports so far
made does it appear that the secret SER
vice men took any part in the arrest,
tho they demanded that the prisoner be
turned over to them after he had been
disarmed. From photographs which
have been placed in the presidents
hands the sercret service men appear
more as members of the receiving party
or as spectators than as officers on duty

Council Bluffs School Teacher Wants
$4,000 for Breach Of Promise.
Denver, Sept. 19.-Miss Bernice Ans
derson. OF Council Bluffs, Iowa, has sued
F. r. Francisco, of Kansas City, for
$40. 900 damages. The suit was brought
In the district court here last July, but
carefully suppressed.
Miss Anderson alleges that in Decem-
Der, 1897, while marriageable woman
of good repute among her friends and
acquaintance. she met Francisco. She
was then teaching In the public schools
OF Council Bluffs. Francisco told her,
she says, that he was unmarried, and
their acquaintance rlpened into friend
ship, love and confidence
In February or March, 1898, so the Pc
tition AYERS, Miss Anderson and Fran
cisco met by previous engagement in
Omaha, stopped at d hotel and he prom
ised to marry her. Miss Anderson also
asserts that she met Francisco in Chi
cago in July, 1900 and at that time dis
covered that he was already married. In
consequence of her relations with Fran
cisco the plaintiff sets forth that she
lost her reputation, became greatly
distressed and suffered great anguish OF
mind; her future life for pleasure. for
happiness and her prospects were de-
stroyed."

Miss Anderson did not swear to the
charges and has asked the court to de-
mand an amended petition,

NEW PARTY LAUNCHED.
Conference at Kansas City Launches
New Political ORGANIZATION,

Kansas City, Sept. 19.-The delegates
representing seven political parties of
reform, who came here to 1.-THE Allied
Third Party" conference, held their first
joint session last night. All of the pre-
liminary work of launching the new po-
litical party, which is to be union of
all reform parties. was done by the
conferences committees of the several
delegations before the delegates met in
session. 1t was decided that the new
party is to be called THE Allied Party"
and platform embodying the follow
ing principles was agreed upon by the
conference committees:
The platform demands the initiative
and referendum and public ownership
of public utilities; declares against
land speculation and alien ownership;
favors Scientific money, based on the
entire wealth of the people of the ma
ton, and not redeemable in any spe-
cific commodity, but to be full legal
tender for all debts. to be issued by the
government only, without the inter-
vention of banks. in sufficient quaint
ties to meet the requirements of COM
merce.
Demands just and natural taxation
and the election of president, vice
president, federal judges and senator's
by direct vote. favors the creation Of
the department of labor and equitable
arbitration, favors the establishment of
postal savings banks and favors such
constitutional amendments as may be
necessary to make the above laws.
A convention will be held in the flu
ture to ratify the actions of this con-
ference and perfect the permanent or
ganization of the new party. The con-
ference was called to order last night

THE MEDICAL SIDE.
New York Medical journal Discusses
Case of Mckinley.

New York Medical journal Discusses
Case of Mckinley.
New York, Sept. 19.-The Forthcoming
edition of the New York Medical Jour-
| nal will discuss the case of the late
President Mckinley in a lengthy article.
1t will say: 1T is melancholy conso-
lation to know that the fatal termina-
ton of President McKinley's case was
not in the slightest degree due to any
omission to give him the full benefit of
all the present resources of our art; and
there Is nothing humiliating in the fact
that the favorable prognosis which for
five or six days seemed justified should
have finally proved fallacious." OF the
operation performed Immediately after
the president was shot, the Medical
Journal says:
1T is perfectly certain that there was
no technical failure in the operation,
and 1t may be said with equal positive
ness that 1t would have verged on mad
ness to prolong the search for the bull
let after it had been ascertained that
it had not inflicted any very grave in
jury beyond that OF the stomach-as-
itations of warrantable efforts.
without seriously taxing the dlsting-
uished patients vital powers, there fol-
lowed at least five days OF freedom from
serious symptoms. This we say with
full appreciation of the fact that the
record OF the pulse and respiration
seemed ominous. for the high rate
might have been due to any one of a
number Of conditions not in themselves
of grave import. The hopeful view was
taken, and quite naturally, that 1t could
be so explained. 1t is easy to be wise
after the exent and say that in this re-
spect the surgeons were in error Err
they certainly did, as the result shows,
but to err in such way argues no in
capacity or avoidable lack, of judy
ment--it simply. we repeat, illustrates
the fact that the medical man is not a
perfect being.
"Gangrene was probably established
two or three days before the fatal issue
followed, but it could hardly have oc-
Cured very early without giving rise
to more disquieting phenomenon than
augmentation of the pulse and respira-
ton rates, which might we'll have been
due to some comparatively unimportant !
To the wound OF the kid
hey we attribute little Importance fur
Their than arises from the fact that 1t |
made one more traumatic surface to be-
come gangrenous. There is said to have |
been a trifling degree of h@maturia of |
brief duration. but not enough to indi-
cate very serious renal lescen.
The case of the profoundly lamented
president may be set down as unique in
some of its features. not SO much, per-
laps. as regards the actual traumatism
inflicted by the assassin's bullet, as with
regard to the deferred appearance of the
gangrenous process that blotted out his
fair prospects of recovery"

Physicians Issue Statement.

Buffalo, N. Y, Sept. 19.-The following
statement was given out Tuesday by
the physicians who attended President
Mckinley during his last illness:
The undersigned surgeons and physi-
clans who We're in attendance on the
late President Mckinley have had their
attention called to certain sensational
statements recently published, indicat-
ing dissensions and recrimination
among them. We desire to say to the
press and public, once for all, that every
such publication and all alleged inter-
views with any Of us containing criti-
cism of one another or of any of our as
sociates are false. We say again that
there was never serious disagreement
among the professional attendants as to
any of the symptoms or as to the treat
ment of the case, or as to the bulletins
which were issued. A very unusual har-
mony of opinion and action prevailed
all thru the case. The unfortunate re-
suit could not have been foreseen before
the unfavorable symptoms declared
themselves late on the sixth day, and
could not have been prevented by any
human agency. Pending the completion
and publication of the official reports of
the post mortem examiners and attend-
ing staff we shall refuse TO make any
further statements for publication, and
alleged interviews with any of us may
be known to be fictitious.
