A dealer in optical instruments de-
clared that it gave him real pain to
vote the careless manner in which half
the persons in New York wear glasses.
1T is n wonder to me-" he said. that
they don't bring on blindness. In tho
first place. the frames should always
be fitted TO individual faces instead OF
being picked up Unfortunately with
out regard for facial peculiarities. The
size of the Lenses is another important
consideration. Most Of the glasses l
see on the street are too small. They
should b" MS large rs the FACE OF the
wearer will permit. for n lens of gosd
size not only affords better protection
to the eye. but is more becoming than
n smaller one. Another tribulation of
the weak eyed is due to the reflection
from the edges of unframed glasses.
The eyelashes should be attended to in
order to get the best results from a
pair of spectacles. Many lashes are
worn so long that they brush against
the glass. This is decidedly injurious

A curious instance of provincial hos
pitality In a small Tuscan town is re-
corded by Luigi Villari in Italian Life
In Town and Country"
A lady of very noble birth and OF
considerable wealth was giving a mu-
steal party-it was the first time she
had invited friends to her house that
season. The entertainment began at
2 p. IN. and lasted till 7. No refresh
ments were provided for the guests,
but at half past 4 a servant appeared
and solemnly presented a cup of choco-
late TO the hostess and one to her moth
er. This. of course, would only be pos
sible In a very provincial town. In the
more civilized spots excellent refresh
ments are always offered to the guests.

THE SEWING
Unsuccessful Inventions That Pre-
ceded Howe's Patent In 1870.

ceded lowe Patent In tsfO.
The technical beginning; of the sew
Ing machine industry In this country
was Sept. 10. 1916, when Elias Howe.
Jr., obtained a patent for what grew
into the FIRST really practical sewing
machine. Only three of the first Howe
machines were made. however. and
n of these was deposited in the pat
ent office in Washington ms a model.
1t was not until after 1850 that a fac
tory for the making OF sewing ma
chimes was built. so the enormous bust
ness OF today has grown up In II short
half century.
While Howe's invention marked the
beginning of n successful industry, he
was by no means the pioneer in eff
forts to substitute mechanical for hald
sewing. AS far back as ITO Thomas
Alsop patented in England a machine
for embroidering. Another machine
for embroidering In Il loom was inveTt-
ed by John Duncan in 1904. and twe.i-
ty-five years later another Englishman
named He.lman patented still another
embroldering machine.
The first recorded attempt at me-
chanical sewing was the Invention of
Thomas Saint, who took out n patent
In England in 1870 for a machine which
executed the old crochet stitch. 1t
was not n success. but some of the
features OF the Saint machine appear
In the perfected machine of today.

stroycd them because convinced they
would drive seamstresses nut of en-
ployment. Thimonnier built new md
better machines. but all his work was
again destroyed by angry artisans in
1918.
John j. Greenough took out the first
patent for a sewing machine issued in
the United States in 1872. 1t was in
tended TO sew leather. hut was of no
practical use.
Walter Hunt Of New York built a
sewing machine in 1894. but failed to
protect IL by II patent. After Howe's
machine appeared Hunt declared It
embodied the ideas of his machine of
1891. but he was unable to establish
his claim.
A small army of inventors appeared
after Howe's patent had proved sue
c~essful. and their genius was devoted
to pcrfecting every part Of h ma
chine How well they have succeeded
Is shown in the $500 patents for sew
ing machines and attachments issued
by the United States since 1850 and in
the fact that the American sewing ma
chine leads all others in every country
in the world.-New York Herald.

One of the biggest liners sailing out
Of France, with 500 steerage passen-
gers 4fsard, was selected for observing
the ANN Of handling steerage pas
sengers bound for America.
A firm conclusion reached after the
experience of that trip is that an imIni-
grant of this class has to put up with
much unnecessarily unpleasant treat
m~ent-first, simply because he is an
Immigrant and therefore in Judgment
Ing h he is, he has not yet learned
to protect himself. The picture con

To investigate unexplained laws of M
ture and the powers latent in man.

The THEosoPHIcAL SOCIETY is CON-
posed OF students, belonging to any re-
ligion in the world or to none. who are
united by their approval OF the above
objects, by their wish to remove religi-
GUS a~ntagonism and to draw together
men OF good will whatsoever their re.
ligious opinions, and by their desire to
study religious truths and to share the
results Of their studies with others.
Their bond OF union Is not the profession
OF a common belief, but a common
search and aspiration for Truth. They
hold that Truth should be sought by
study, by reflection, by purity of life, by
devotion to high ideals, and they regard
Truth as a prize to be striven for. not as
a dogma to be imposed by authority.
They consider that belief should be the
result OF individual study or tuition, and
not its a~ntecedent. and should rest on
knowledge, not on assertion. They ex-
tend tolerence to all, even to the intoler.
ant. not as a privilege they bestow, but
as a duty they perform. and they seek
to remove ignorance. not to punish it.
The, see every religion as an expression
Of the DIVINE WISDOM, aud prefer it's
study to it's condemnation, and its prac.
tice to proselytism. Peace is their
watch word, as Truth is their aim.
THEosoPHy is the body of truths
which forms the basis OF all religions,
and which cannot be claimed as the ex
elusive possession OF any. 1t offers a
philosophy which renders life intelligi.
Bile, and which demonstrates the justice
and the love which guide its evolution,
IL puts death in its rightful place, as a
recurring incident in an endless life,
opening the gateway of a fuller and
more radiant existence. 1t restores to
the world the science of the spirit. teach
ing man to know the spirit as himself.
and the mind aud body us his servants,

of religion by unwilling their hidden
meanings, and thus justifying them at

justified in the eyes OF Intuition.
Members OF the Theosophical Society

deavor to live them. Every one willing
to study, to be tolerant, to aim high,
and to work perseveringly. is welcomed

Modest Suit Grows.

"Action for $40 and interest" was
the title to a lawsuit in Justice
Hinkle's court last May but it has
now bobbed up on removal to the SUI
perior court and the figures are by no
means commensurate with the modest
title originally on the docket. ]. w.
Phillips of this city brought the
action against Mrs. j. M, Birks and
her husband to recover the money,
which was alleged to be loan.
The answer showed that the money
was advanced on a coal mining prop
osition in British Columbia and de-
PENDANT had not only the hardihood
to deny the debt but also to put in e.
counter claim for 500 for services in
inducing Lewiston parties to locate
claims in the coal mine group. By
stipulation the case was transferred.
Already the deposition of James Nc
Lean has been taken outside of the
court, and today an order was entered
for Ben Richards to take the testi-
mony of r. j. Logan at Rhodes, Ia.

Many people do not regard the cigar
slot machine as a serious evil. and the
owners of the machines say they
merely serve to sell more goods than
ordinarily; that the machines are not
run for the actual purpose of making
money from the gambling.
The new plan of the mayor is said
to have the approval of other city

that even those who are most serious

DEATH [URk5
N A Switch
A Fatal Smash-Up on the
B. (. @. Road at
Allegheny.

PITTSBURG, Nov. 2.-Another rail-
road catastrophe was added today TO
the list of recent horrors, when two
trains on the Baltimore & Ohio dashed
together at an open switch at Ale
gheny.
A freight train was standing on a
siding near the switch when the b. &
o. passenger approached at rapid
rate of speed. Striking the open switch
the engine of the passenger train few
from the rails and struck the freight
engine with terrific force.
The baggage car of the passenger
trdain and several freight cars were
piled in one huge heap of debris, from
which Engineer William Cunningham
was taken dead. Engineer John Cor
nelius and Firemen Thomas Grafton
and Charles Stillwagon were also drag
ged out, all of them more dead than
alive. All were horribly crushed and
mangled, and there is but faint hope
for their recovery.
The baggageman, express messenger
and several Others were painfully,
though not fatally injured An inves-
tigation is now being pursued to fix
the blame for the accident. Criminal
prosecution will probably follow.

PLUMBERS HAVE LOST
$I,400 IN WAGE PAY

No overtures nave yet been made
by either the striking plumbers or
their employers, and Judging by the
attitude adopted by both today there
is likely to~be no relief in the situation
in the near future. The plan which
the master plumbers have now adopted
is believed to be a sort of freeze-out
proposition. 1t is a very costly thing
to the plumbers themselves, and the
loss to them in wages to date amounts
to round sum of money. At S. day
the loss to the 20 or more men who
have been on strike for four days now
amounts to $l400.
1t is believed by the master plumb
ers that this will soon tell on the
knights of the lead pipe and in the
end will create a discord in their ranks
which will lead them to vote to return
to work, or else disrupt the union and
the men return as individuals to their
old positions
Both sides are close mouthed today.
The Trades Council holds its regular
meeting tomorrow night, and an eff
fort will be made to get their indorse-
ment of the strike. Some trouble IS
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1903-11-02

said to be III store for the plumbers,
union before an Endorsement of their
position will be allowed.
In striking so suddenly the plumb
ers, it is declared, disobeyed one of the
first rules of the Trades Council,
which provides that all contemplated
raises in wages, or strikes, must first
be submitted. So far as is known by
union men of the city, this was not
done.
The plumbers union today claims to
have information which leads them to
believe that small force of non-union
plumbers have been shipped from
Minneapolis with this city as their des-
tination.
President Evans of the Master
Plumbers association was asked as to
the truth of the rumor, and stated he
knew nothing of the matter. How
ever, he would neither affirm nor deny
the report.
1t now looks as though an appalling
state of affairs confronts Spokane. If
the plumbers remain on strike much
longer all the building operations in
the city will be tied up and the build
ing trades thrown out of work.
