INVENTORS TRIALS.
Man Who Made scnirq Machine Pos
a.hln We Mohhed.

The man who Invented the sewing
machine was rewarded by being mob
bed, and having Inc work of his hands
destroyed before his eyes. He was
warned not to do it again. He lived in
France and the people believed that
the introduction OF machinery to do
sewing would rob them of their liveli-
hood For many years Barthelemy
Thimounier struggled against the pre-
JUDGES OF the people, and in the most
abject poverty. He succeeded finally
in perfecting a machine embodying all
the material parts Of the modern per-
fected product; then he died in 1857
without friends or food. AS early as
1S41 Thimounier had built eighty of
his machines and had them running in
Paris; then came the mob, and he
had to flee for his life. He worked in
poverty and obscurity for seven years
and made better machine, capable
of making 200 stitches minute, and
which would embToider leather. He
was mobbed again. In 1916 Elias Howe
added several improvements and took
cut new patents in the United States,
but he did not have capital to manu-
facture them, and finally was compell-
ed to 90 to England and work for cor
set manufacturer. When he returned
to the United States he was poorer
but he found. that in his absence, some
parties had begun making sewing
machines and were infringing on his
patents. He began suit, and after long
i and tedious litigation. won. He was
then rich man.
The fashinon of wearing hoop skirts
has proved oil great assistance in the
advance of an important branch of
modern electrical manufacturing. In
the covering of wires with silk and
other materials for insulating pur-
poses the machinery used is practic-
| ally the same that was invented for the
manufacture of crinoline. 1t was also
used TO cover wires which went to the
j making of women's bonnets. An Eng
/ lishman named Moore brought some
machinery to Philadelphia where he
settled. and soon found that there was
more money in supplying the electrical
market than pandering to the changing
I whins OF the millirers. Pennsylvania

year to the value OF s2,696,15o. lioore

EULoeIzEs LINCOLN.
Henri Watterson Talks of the War
President at New York Banquet.

New York, Jan. 27-At the nine
teenth annual banquet of the Confed-
crate veteran camp of New York, held
last evening at the Waldorf-Astoria,
the principal address of the evening
was the toast to Abraham Lincoln de-
livered by Henri Watterson, editor of
the Louisville Courier-Journal.
Mr.. Watterson said in part:
Jefferson Davis, than whom there
never lived, in this or in any land, a
nobler gentleman and knightlier sol
dier-Jefferson Davis declared that
next after the surrender at Appomat-
tox, the murder of Abraham Lincoln
made the darkest day in the calendar
for the south and the people of the
south. Why? Because Mr.. Davis had
come to knowledge of the magnanim
ity of Mr.. Lincoln's heart and the gen
crosby of his intentions.
"If Lincoln had lived there would
have been no era of reconstruction
with its repressive agencies and op
pressive legislation. If Lincoln had
lived there would have been lacking tc
the eXtremeism of the time the cue
of his taking off to spur the steeds OF
vengeance. For Lincoln entertained
with respect to the rehabilitation OF
1.-THE Union, the single wish that the

southern states-to use his homely
phraseology-'sh should come back home
and behave themselves and if he had
lived he would have made this wish
effectual as he made everything effec-
tual to which he seriously addressed
himself.
His was the genius of common
sense. OF perfect intellectual aplomb,
he sprang from southern pedigree
and was born in Kentucky.
Considerable discussion has been
heard latterly touching what did and
what did not happen upon the occa-
sion of famous historic episode
known as the Hampton roads confer
ence That Mr. Lincoln met and con-
ferred with the Confederate govern
ment, led by the vice president of the
Confederate states, when it must have
been known to him that the Confeder-
|acy was nearing the end of its re-
sources, is sufficient proof of the
breadth both of his humanity and his
patriotism. Yet he went to Fortress
Monroe. prepared not only to make
whatever concessions toward the res
toration of union and peace he had
the lawful authority to make, but to
offer some concessions which could in
the nature of the case go no further
at that time than his personal assur-
ance.
THE story that he offered payment
| for the slaves-so often affirmed and
denied-is in either case but bubble
with the actual facts. But there is
ample evidence that he went to Hamp-
ton roads resolved to commit himself
| to that proposition. 1t embraced a
Joint resolution to be submitted by the
President to the two houses of con-
gress appropriating S400000.000 to be
distributed among the southern states
on the basis of the slave population
/ of each according to the census of
1860. Indeen, payment for the slaves
had been all along in his mind. He
believed the north eaually guilty with
4 the south for the original existence Of
slavery"

GLOVE COUNTER PALMlsTRY.
Character Reading by 81 observant
Young Woman in a Store.

New York Sun: DO | believe in
palmistry?" repeated the glove store
salesgirl. Il don't know much about
it. But Just let customer hold out
her hand to be fitted anu ! can read
her main traits of character without
even noticing her face.
THE woman who extends her right
hand with the thumb shut under the
fingers is apt to want the best gloves
in stock at the cheapest price, and is
likely to find some flaw or misfit In
the glove after it is on that no one
else can see. Reasonable people. with
determination of character, uncon-
gers when the hand is folded in re-
pose.
IF a girl puts out her hand to be
measured and the fingers bend beck
ward little and are not overlapping
at the ends. | know that she has a
sweet, sunny disposition and is con-
siderate of others.
Customers with fingers more
square than tapering are sure to thank
you for your service after you have
fitted them, and will generally make
some comment pleasant to hear They
have good taste, as rule, and don't
select ultra-fashionable shades and
styles.
THE woman with fine-tapering fin
gers has good taste, too. But she is
formal and seldom considerate.
never expect such a one to thank me
for having tried to please her. And
she seldom does, taking it as a mat
ter of course. l suppose that sales
persons duty is to please and that
she is paid to do so.
From looking at customers hand
can tell whether she will want her
gloves to draw on and off easily or try
to wear them SO tight that she could
hardly turn door knob, life her
skirts, or otherwise use her hands
with them on. Fewer women want
their street gloves tight now than used
| to be the case. But good many still
persist sin wearing their evening and
| full-dress gloves a quarter size small
| er than they should be-"
