Miss Mabel Cornell Invents a Type
writer.

Miss Mabel c. Cornell, of lila Morris
avenue, this city, has this week been
granted a patent by the United States
patent Office, covering valuable i'm
provement in typewriters- 1t consists
of an arrangement whereby word of
two or three or more letters may be
written by a single stroke of the key.
As typewriterS are now constructed ev-
cry word must be spelled out, each let
ter requiring separate stroke. Thus,
the word is requires two strokes,
that requires four strokes. But with
Miss Cornells invention each of these
words may be written by single stroke
of the key.
The secret of Miss Cornells invention
lies in the automatic spacing arrange
ment, whereby a double space is auto
matically made for a word of two let
tiers. a triple space for a werd of three
letters and SO on, while but single
space is made for a single letter. No
shift is required for the spacing for
words. No more exertion, and no more
movement is required in writing a word
of three or four letters, than is required
in writing a single letter. And the same
space is given to the words as would
be given them if written out letter by
letter 1t is expected that in addition
90 the single letters ordinarily used on a
typewriter, the short words of much
use, as lis" and" the" that" and
the like shall be provided for on Miss
Cornelfs typewriter, thus enabling the
operator greatly to increase his speed.
Miss Cornell is the daughter of Geo.
G. Cornell, formerly of Alma, and a
lawyer well known over the state, but
now retired and residing in Topeka.
Miss Cornell is net only an inventor of
remarkable genius, but it also a writer
of ability She has studied law. and
been admitted to practice before the
state courts. In her capacity as law
yer she has been an inValuablet assist
ant to her father. Some time ago Miss
Cornell took ups the study of Short
hand and typewriting. She soon saw
that there would be an advantage in
having a typewriter that would write
words as well as single letters. Others
have seen this advantage, but none
have satisfactorily solved the problem
OF how to give to the different words
the necessary space. Miss Cornell, as
Edison says, worked and soon her
ideas were embodied In a perfectly prac-
ticable machine which promises to be
great labor saver, and the most rapid
writer on the market.

PLANS CANDY TRUST.
A Promoter Sounds the Manu-
facturers of st. Louis.

st. Louis, March 5.-Robert z. Lee,
editor of the Interstate Grocer of ST.
Louis, said today that there is little
probability of the st. Louis candy
houses taking any part in the proposed
national consolidation. Mr.. Lee said:
Edwin Corbin, a New York lawyer
who was in ST. Louis last Saturday Wis
tied the five largest confectionery
houses here and proposed to them that
they go into a candy trust. He had no
definite proposition to make and made
no offer for the plants His visit, he
explained, was to see if such a deal
could be- put through. He outlined his
plan as one to include all of the large
confectionery manufacturing plants in
Chicago, Milwaukee. Detroit, Cincin-
natl, St Louis, Kansas City and Omaha
as starter, with the expectation that
other cities would be included if success
was met with in getting in the big
houses in the cities named Mr.. Corbin
did not come to this city backed by any
capital but proposed merely as a pro-
moter.
Mr. Corbin Will return to ST. Louis
IN two weeks for his answer and for
further negotiations. He did not while
mere propose to pay any money for the
plants but was understood to hold out
the hope of nothing better than stock
and bonds in the National ConfectioA-
cry company. This would not be salts

that you are the mother of five sons

battle
L feel how weak and fruitIess must
be any word of mine which should at
tempt to beguile you from the grief OF
a loss so Overwhelming. But I cannot
refrain from rendering you the con-
ISOLATION that may be found in the
thanks of the republic they died to save.
I pray that our Heavenly Father may
assuage the anguish of your bereave-
ment and leave only the cherished MEM
cry of loved and lost and the solemn
pride that must be yours to have laid
50 costly sacrifice upon the altar of
freedom.

Case of Edith Terrence Still Point of
Contention.

About 20 of. the laundry workers of
the city met at the Trades Council hall
at 42O Kansas avenue last night and
formed permanent organization which
will be known as the Laundry Work
ers Union" A full set of officers were
elected, and about 80 other laundry en-
ployes have signified a willingness to
enter the organization as charter MEM
berS-
The movement on the part of the
laundry employees is a direct result of
laundry of Miss Edith Terrence and
Miss Gertrude LIGHT last Monday. AS
sistant State Labor Commissioner b. p.
Scott who personally investigated the
case said this morning: 1T is evident
to me that Miss Terrence was not dis
charged for any other reason except
that she was in favor of unioniZing t'le
employees. l went down to the Waite
Star that morning, and while there
talked with Miss Terrence, and she was
discharged before was gone three min
utes When l heard of it 1 at once in
structed her to start proceedings
against Mr. Cockrell, who had refused
to give her the reason of her discharge
in writing, which is required by the
commissioner About o'clock, some
time after Mr.. Cockrell had been arrest
ed, both girls received a letter, which
stated that they were discharged for
neglect of duty characterization, and q
growing tendency to create trouble be-
tween the employees and the employer.
Miss LIGHT was not made a party in the
proceedings, but will make a good wit
ness The case has been set for the 10th
of this month. Miss Terrence has been
a checker in the White Star for three
years, and her record has been of the
best. All the launries seemed radically
opposed to the organization of their en-
ployeS, and as soon as they heard. of the
proposed movement got together, and
it seems that they had a pfearranged
plan to discriminate against union en-
ployes. The action of Miss Terrence
was not spite work, because she was
instructed to file the complaint by this
office''

Seven years ago the State Of Illinois granted
30 the Physicians Institute of Chicago a charter.
There was need of something above the ordi-
nary method of treatment for chronic diseases,
something more than any one specialist or any
number of specialists acting independently
could do, so the State itself, under the powers
granted tt by its general laws, gave the power to
the Physicians Institute TO furnish to the sick
such help as would make them well and strong.
Ever since its establishment this Institute has
endeavored in every possible way to carry out
the original purposes OF its establishment under
the benencient laws of the State.
Three years ago, the Physicians Institute,
realizing the value of electricity In the treatment
of certain phases Of disease. created under the

laundry employees. 1t is not a question
of fostering strikes, but simply to give
any one the right to join an organiza
ton without being Disseminated
against. They will stay, and the en-

if they have to take steps to form a
