Receivers Appointed.

Upon this petition the court appoint
ed three receivers. Since then. several
others alleging to be stockholders or
creditors of the bank have filed inter
vening petitions.
When the bank some weeks ago filed a
petition asking that the receivers be
discharged the court issued a rule re-
quiring the receivers to answer and
show cause why they should not be dis
missed. To this rule the receivers yes
terday filed a demurrer, and also an
answer. alleging that even If Mr.. Hal
Ter was not stakeholder. the action
of the court on the petition of the inter-
venors would be good ground for the
appointment and sustaining in Office
the receivers appointed.
1t is expected that there will b: some
interesting developments when the mat
ter comes on for hearing.

postal service was the work of Charles
Emory Smith when Postmaster Cen
eral.
Testimonial of Appreciation
Recognizing the great Importance of
General Smiths work, those benefited
by and friendly to the service decided
TO present him with testimonial. The
article chosen for the testimonial is a
magnificent punch bowl, made of sterling
silver and having on its sides six pan
els illustrating the different phases of
the service.
THE first panel shows the official or
der establishing the service on a per-
manent foundation, and is represented
by the Postmaster General in the act of
aftixing his signature to a document
making the service a part of the postal
system of the country The second rep
resents the country postoffice. the car
rier's wagon, and the typical villager.
The third represents a mountain road.
the horse, and mail wagon. The fourth
represents the farm buildings, and all
human and animal life in a condition of
expectancy. The fifth scene represents
the open country, with a solitary mount
ed mail carrier keenly alert, while his
horse is making long strides toward the
frontier destination. The last scene
portrays primitive mining camp and a
herd Of cattle rounded up by the cow
boys, awaiting the arrival of the mail
carrier.
Some Decorations.
Separating the panels are ornaments
emblematic OF the United States mail
service. At the top, between each panel.
is a finely modelled American eagle. bear
ing in his talons two mail bags. and
surrounded By sprays of oak and laurel
leaves.
''On the base of the bowl is a shield
bearing the inscription:
CHARLES EMORY SMITH.
Postmaster General,
April 81. 1898,
January Is. 1902.
and surrounding the shield are large
sprays OF oak and laurel leaves. signify
ing strength and achievement.
The bowl stands upon an ebony
pedestal. which makes its total height
seventeen inches. 1t measures eighteen
inches in diameter and weighs about ECO
ounces.
From the point of view of silver
smithing. it is one of the most beauti-
full pieces ever made in this country.
Every part of the ornamentation. ex-
cepting the eagles and leaves. is chased
by hand and with such special attention
TO minute detail that each panel, even
when uninr the ndgnifyinS glass. will
stand the closest scrutiny. The time re-
CURED to complete the bowl was two
and one-half months. working day and

One Of the daintiest of wild flowers

honored concomitant of roast turkey,

body knows the berry, few are ac-
Quainted with the flower, for the peat

lowship of the stately pitcher plant
ana the golden club and of many a
rare orchid are quite remote from the
beaten paths Of travel. The cranberry
plant is a small, slender, somewhat
trailing shrub, with the neatest OF
evergreen leaves, from amid which a
few threadlike stalks lift their nodding
flowers. When fully expanded, the
pink lobes of each col Slla are curled
back like q lily's, and from the heart
Of them the compressed stamens pro-
trude in the shape Of a spear point or
beak. The imaginative may see in
this long beaked little blossom a re-

Don't Be "a Second Class Man.

You can hardly imagine boy say
ing: Il am going to be second class
man. don't want to be first class
and get the good jobs, the high pay.
Second class Jobs are good enough for
me-" Such boy would be regarded
as lacking in good sense if not in SAN
ity. You can get to be second class
man, however. by not trying to be ii
first class one. Thousands do that all
the time, SO that second class men are
a drug on the market, remarks Sue
cess.
Second class things are only wanted
when first class can't be had. You
wear first class clothes if you can pay
for them, eat first class butter, first
class meat and first class bread. or. if
you don't, you wish you could. Second
class men are no more wanted than
any other second class commodity.
They are taken and used when the
better article is scarce OF IS too high
priced for the occasion. For work
that really amounts to anything first
class men are wanted.

TOOL THAT ALMOST TALKS
Yet Its Complicated Mechanism Cam
BE Tended by "a Girl.

BE Tended by "a Girl.
The most highly developed of ma
chine tools is the automatic screw ma
chine, and, like many another con-
trivance for saving labor, Its home is
New England. 1t is development of
the ordinary steel working lathe, the
intermediate step being the monitor
lathe, in which the various cutting
tools protrude from the side of a steel
turret like thirteen inch guns from q
battleship turret In the nonautomatic
screw machine the turret is revolved
by the operator so as to bring each tool
into play, just as the tu%Het on the old
Monitor was revOlved to bring one gun
after another into action. But in the
automatic machine the work is done
without human guidance.
In making screws, nuts, bolts, studs
and other small pieces that must be
turned, drilled or threaded for watches,
clocks, typewriters, electrical instru-
ments and other mechanisms all the
operator has to do is to feed the
''stock"-a long, thin rod of steel or
brass-to the machine. The feeding
mechanism carries the rod slowly for
ward into the field of action. The tur-
ret advances and puts its first tool at
work on the end of the rod. When this
tool has done its task, the turret with
draws it, turns and advances a second
tool into action. Each cutting tool
around the turret has it's distinct work
to perform-one cutting a thread, an
other shaping .reaG, another putting
on point, another drilling q hole, still
another putting on knurling. The tur-
ret automatically brings each OF per-
haps six tools into action, and when
the work is finished the completed
screw drops into a pan, while the
stock" is automatically fed forward
to begin the complex operation again.
A stream of machine oil pours contin-
uously on the work to carry away the
heat, and the little metal cuttings col
lect in heap under the machine.
Hour after hour this wonderful au-
tomaton goes through it's cycle OF oper-
atiOnS, the turret clicking every mo-
ment as it brings a new tool forward.
Small brass pieces. on which but one
tool cuts, are dropped at the rate of
four a second. Large screws of COM
plicated design upon which a whole
turretful of tools must work are cut
from steel rod at the rate OF one or
two minute. So perfectly are these
screw machines constructed thatan un-
skilled workman can operate a row of
them. All he is required to do is to keep
them fed with stock" In some shops
girls tend the machines.-Success.

GULF STREAM MARKS.
The Course of the Flow Through
the Ocean Plainly Indicated.

Ghe Course of the Flow Through
the Ocean Plainly Indicated.
The color Of the stream is percepti-
bly, deeper blue than that of the neigh
boring sea, this blueness forming one
of the standard references of the nau-
tical novelists. The depth of color is
due to the high percentage of salt con-
tanned as compared with the cold green
water of higher latitudes, observation
having shown that the more salt held
in solution by sea water the more in
tensely blue is its color. Thus even in
extratropical ATTITUDES we sometimes
observe water of beautiful blue col
or, as for instance, in the Mediterra-
mean and in other nearly landlocked
basins, where the influx of fresher wa
ter, being more or less impeded, the
percentage of salt contained is raised
by evaporation above the average, says
the National Geographic Magazine
Another important fact in connection
with the stream is it's almost tropical
temperature, due to the fact that it's
high velocity enables it to reach the
middle ATTITUDES with very little loss
of heat. Upon entering it's limits the
temperature of the sea water frequent
ly shows rise of ten degrees and even
fifteen degrees 1t was this fact that
gave to the stream in the later years
of the eighteenth century and the ear
lier years Of the nineteenth an impor-
tance in the minds of navigators that
it no longer possesses. In those davs
the chronometer, invented by Harri-
son in 17G5, was still an experiment
instruments were crude and nautical
tables often at fault.
The result was that the determina-
tion of the longitude was largely a
matter of guessWOrk. a vessel after a
voyage from the channel to America
often being out of her reckoning by de-
grees instead of by minutes. The idea,
first suggested by Benjamin Franklin.
that the master of vessel, by observ-
ing the temperature of the surface wa
ter, could tell the moment of his entry
into the gulf stream and could hence
fix his position to within a few miles
was hailed with delight.
The method was published in 1890
by Jonathan Williams in a work
lengthily entitled "Thermometrical
Navigation: Being a series Of expert
ments and observations tending to
prove that by ascertaining the relative
heat Of the sea water from time to
time the passage of ship through the
gulf stream and from deep water into
soundings may be discovered in time
to avoid danger" In this work be
makes patriotic comparison of the
gulf stream to streak OF red, white
and blue, painted upon the surface Of
the sea for the guidance of American
navigators.
