separate combination of "nicks" or

This week begins a new era in the

that we invite our readers to see our
wonderful Simplex typesetting ma

for plenty Of fresh news matter, for

and the desire to give our readers as

led us. to see that something swifter

be provided. After long and care

1t is probable that on no labor saw
ing machine has more time and mon
ey been expended than on Il device to
set and distribute type. For over a
century inventors have struggled
with the question and while their
efforts We're partially successful, it
has only been in the past ten years
that practical machine has been
put on the market. 1t seems like an
impossibility that any combination

type that has been used and is revol-

movement of the distributor cylinder
the bottom type of each line of dead
matter is tested by the wards or chan
mel SO the lower cylinder, until it
finds one exactly corresponding and
drops down into the lower magazine.
The lawer cylinder is stationary and
at the bottom of each channel it con-
tains a lever which is connected with
keyboard similar to that of u type
writer. When character on the key
board is pressed down the lever releas-
es the corresponding character from
the channel and deposits it on rapid

around the machine and to a 'pack

phrase, standing on their feet" A
long line of type rapidly forms in
front of the operator and when he has
enough for his purpose he whirls his
chair around and with a small instru-
ment called ''grab" separates
enough from the long line to make IA

he justifies or ''spaces," and then

The Question Has Two sides.

Concerning the demand of railway en-
ployes, more especially in the train serv-
ice" said a general manager. there are
two sides 10 the question of an advance in
wages in the higher class service. Ii should
be borne in mind that but SO per cent. OF
the railways are to-day paying any divi-
dends to stockholders. and the latter are
firing of waiting for dividends. In deal
ing with raises i'm the wages of railroad
men the public and the men seem to for
get that I'm the last ten years the earning
capacity of the trainmen has been in
creased at least 80 per cent. by the eX-
penditure by the railroads of vast sums of
money and that the responsibility of the
trainmen and conductors has been reduced
TO a minimum. Most of the pay is per mile,
and on a double-tracked system the ability
TO perform the same amount of service in
less time is increased at least 30 per cent,
the average mileage of freights per hour
having increased from about ten to sew
enteen or eighteen miles. Sight is also
lost of the fact that while gross earnings
have increased enormously the SURPRISES
have been going back into the properties
in such a way as to increase the earning
capacity of the men and that the stock
holders are rarely getting more than they
did formerly. When a commercial bust
ness increases wages ii comes out OF the
public. but when a railroad increases II is
q dead loss. 1t is also a remarkable fact
that on roads where pension systems have
been created the men do not seem TO ap-
preciate the favor

SNEAKED FROM MANILA
GERMANS HAVE NOT ALWAYS BEEN
UNCLE SANS BEST FRIEND.
DiscOurtesy shown to Dewey When
They Stole Away and Spread the
News of ManiIa's Surrender.

NEW YORK, Feb. 16.-In the issue of
the Army and Navy Journal there is pub
lished a piece of unwritten history con-
corning German ill-feeling toward the
United States during the war with SPAIN
told by "a well-known officer who was on
the scene at the time" The story is to the
effect that Immediately after the surrender
Of Manila Governor Augustin. who COM
manded the Spanish forces. boarded the
German man-of-war Kaiserin Augusta and
was taken to Hong-Kong. From there, ii is
said, he cabled to Madrid informing the
Spanish officials of what had happened.
This is the story: Just previous to the
surrender of Manila Admiral Dewey gave
strict orders that no vessels should leave
the harbOr. Just after the surrender of
the city on Aug. Is, 1895, and while the
United States warships were anchored in
front of the city, Governor Augustin was
taken on board the German man-of-war
Kaiserin Augusta, which. contrary to or
ders, steamed out OF the harbor rapidly,
and. being a very fast vessel, was almost
hull down before she was actually missed.
She went direct TO Hong-Kong. None of
her crew was allowed ashore, but several
officers landed, and one dispatch was sent
In cipher TO Berlin which, of course, told
of the surrender Of Manila and asked for
instructions, and a second cipher was sent
to Madrid by the Spanish Governor Angus
tin, of course, acquainting the Spanish gov
eminent of the situation. To the inquiry
of the British officials at Hong-Kong as to
what the situation at Manila was the Ger
mans replied that there was nothing new,
and all news of the surrender of the city
was kept secret. The Kaiserin Augusta,
after sending the cipher dispatches, then
returned to Manila.
Meanwhile Dewey had dispatched the
steamer Zafiro, which was attached TO his
fleet and a slow boat. with a cable telling
of the surrender of Manila. She arrived at
Hong-Kong TO spread the news TO the world
fully twenty-four hours after the German
warship. To say that American officers
conversant with the facts of the breach of
international courtesy on the part of the
Germans were mad is putting ii mildly.
They were furious, and had the intention
OF the German vessel to depart from the
harbor in defiance of orders been antici-
pated she would have had a tough time 10
get out. AS said before. she was almost
hull down before she was discovered sneak
ing away, our officers and men being busy
with matters concerning the surrender"

A LIGHT TONNAGE MOVING
LOADED CAR MOVEMENT LIGHTER
THAN FOR MANY MONTHS.
Changes on the Southern Pacific Will
Not Affect F.. o. Mccormick Cen
eraI and Personal Notes.

In the week ended Feb. 10 there were re-
ceived and forwarded at indianapolis a
total Of 23.951 cars, 1907 being loaded, ff-
ty-nine more than were handled in the first
week of February. and it was the lightest
weeks business in many months. In the
corresponding week of 1901 1914. and in 1900
1898 loaded cars were handled The
trouble seems to lie wholly in lack Of
power. The older engines are in bad con-
ditiOn, having been run too long without
repairs. and only the newly-purchased en-
gines are really fit for service. These are
being run steadily. The car shortage is
not so troublesome as the power question.
Side tracks at division points are full Of
loaded cars awaiting power to move the
freights. Unusually severe weather for In
diana and Illinois is unfavorably affecting
freight traffic and also passenger business,
and there is a shortage of power in this
line Of service, and passenger business is
so satisfactory at present that the trains
must be kept moving, although through
trains are running a half TO three hours
late, and local passenger trains are expert
encing trouble in making time. The train
record shows that the Big Four lines prop
er handled 2,S66 fewer loaded cars at In
dianapolis last week than in The corre-
spending week last year, and all east-and-
west lines show decreases, while the north
and-south lines. which is unusual, are
handling more business thar last year.
The Pennsylvania lines last week show an
increase over last year. but the increase
was wholly with its nOrth-and-south lines.
The Lake Erie * Western is profiting by
its relations with the Lake Shore, espe-
cially in its west-bOund business. The out
LOOK for a heavy spring and summer traf-
tc continues favorable, and with more sea-
sOnable weather the rush of business will
be as heavy as during recent months, say
freight men who understand the situation.
The following table shows the number of
cars handled at this point for the week
ended Feb. 10, and for the corresponding
weeks of 1901 and 1900:

What the Wild Winds Say,

Would YOU know what the wild winds saw
Meath the sun and the rain
You must tune your brain
In the dim new day.
From the world apart
You must list with your heart
To know what the Wild winds say.
To learn what the wild winds tell.
You must leave your book
For the forest brook.
And the leafy dell.
You must seek TO be wise
Meath the open skies,
To learn what the wild winds tell.
For the lore Of the winds Is deepi
They have quafed the dew,
And the mystic brew
Their lips still keep.
Where the night flower CLEANS.
They have fathomed her dreams
oh. he lore OF the winds Is deepi
When you know what the wild winds say.
All. cool In your breast
The song Will rest
Like a charm for aye.
For the sweet message told,
VIII never wax old
When you know what the wild winds say.
