Each strip Is an inch and half wide
and 18 inches long, and holds about sixty
names. This strip Is inserted in the ham
dy little brass mailing machine which the
mailer carries on his left arm. 1t runs
over a cloth belt that Is moist with paste
from running through email box of paste,
and Is pushed forward one address at a
time by the pressure Of the finger. One
motion suffices to cut off the address with
a spring knife and to stamp It on the pa
per. This Is done with marvellous dexter
ity and rapIdIty. When all the papers that
40 to one town have been stamped, a
wrapper, stamped With the name of that
town Is placed atop the pile, which Is then
slid along to the wrapper. He dextrously
completes the wrapping and throws the
bundle into the mouth of the proper mall
sack, As fast as the list for the differ
emit mall routes are completed, the sacks
are hustled into the mail wagons and
rushed to the postoffice, or In some cases
direct to the mall cars at the station.
There has been comparatively little I'm
provement in the mechanics OF the mall
ina room for several years, all the time
that has been gained coming from IN
creased speed of the naIIers. But IN
ventors have not overlooked the opportu-
n;tv for saving more golden minutes In
the race Of the evening paper with time,
ana Il Is said that machines are now ABOUT
ready to be operated In direct connection
with the presses. The new idea Is TO
stamp the addresses on the papers as fast
as they come from the press.

LOYAL TO THE TICKET
DR.. Golden Says "Nay" to Tempters Who
Suggest His independents
CandIdacv t5st

DR.. A. J. Golden, who made such a
strong run for the republican nomination
for coroner, said this morning:
Some of my friends, both republicans
and democrats, have asked me since the
primaries to run independent. have told
them that I am republican, and will
support the party nominee, as pledged
myself to- do on the platform. have the
satisfaction of knowing that made a
clean campaign, free from personalities or
leg pullers, and that is enough for me just
now. I may ask something at the hands
of the party another year."

1000 TYPEWRITERS.

"Pennsy" Will Furnish Each Of Its Opera
tors with a Machine.
The Pennsylvania Railroad is about
to place the biggest order for type
writer's on record. All operators now
using their own machines will be fur
nished with new standard machine
to be kept in order by an inspector and
repairer who will visit the offices
monthly and keep the machines in
good condition. 1t Is estimated that
2COO machines will be needed between
New York and Altoona.
A number of the local offices have al
ready been equipped with fine instru-
ments. Many of the men, however,
still furnish their own typewriters.
This big order does not make it look as
though the telegraph is to give place to
the telephone on the Pennsylvania
Railroad.

Letter to Calvin Stetler,
MIDDLEBURGH, PA.

HiDDbspShui, L "A.
Dear Sir: Your business is, when q
house burns down, to give the owner
some money to build a new one. 1t is
q good business. Queer that the world
got on so long without it.
We PAINT the one that burnt down
and the new one too. What is better
we paint the houses that don't burn
down.
You insure the houses that burn; we
insure the houses that don't. You haye
the ashes and smoke; all the houses are
ours. We paint lead and zinc: Devoe.
We sell the paint to painters; We don't
paint.
Lead and oil are the old-fashion
paint. Devoe is zinc ground in which
the lead and linseed oil-same pro.
portions as used by U. S. Government;
the best paint in the world: and the
cheapest, because the work Is all done
by machinery.
Nobody wants poor paint; there's lot:
Of II, through the world.
