A TYPELEss PRESS.
BROOKLYN LithOGrapher's Machine
Outd0es the Linotype.

BROOKLYN LithOgrapher's Machine
Outdoes the Linotype.
A wonderful printing machine. which
promises TO revolutionize the printing
business, has been perfected in a large
lithographing plant in Brooklyn.
This little machine prints as fast as a
typewriter can operate, uses no type.
movable or unmovable, but instead a
polished plate of metal, from which
the impression may be erased as from
slate 1t counts and measures the
spaces in every line and 'justifies'' it
with mathematical accuracy. When
the printing is done and the plate eras-
ed, it leaves little paper scroll which.
when started through the machine
again like the hurdy gurdy roll, may
be locked up alone in the building, and
it will of itself print the whole matter
over again absolutely without human
direction.
This miracle of mechanical ingenuity,
which might, with the exception of the
presses. be carried by a boy on his
back. occupies no more space than the
top of a dining room table, requires
less power to operate than woman
and may be manufactured for one
tenth of what linotype or monotype
sells for The inventor is w. S. Tim
mis-, a small. dark, keen eyed man OF
about thirty-five years, who tells en-
Enthusiastically of his product, but says
nothing of himself. He has christened
his machine the lithotype.
The first operator sits at keyboard
similar to that of Remington type
writer. AS the characters are touched
a strip of paper not unlike ticker
tape issues perforated mysteriOusly
from the machine. This ribbon runs
into another device operated automatic
ally. which in turn grinds out the proof
in an endless column printed as from
movable type, with black ink on white
paper.
Corrections are made by writing the
corrected word, line or paragraph on
the machine and pasting 1t over the
erroneous composition. Then comes
the second process.
The long column of printed matter is
cut into strips and made up" into the
sized pages desired by FASTING on a
board, after which the printed surface
is pressed against a specially prepared.
fiat aluminium plate. The result is a
grease impression on the aluminium of
every letter and character. The alu-
minimum plate, which is as thin and
light as cardboard, is then clamped on
cylinder of a printing press. The
grease characters prove as distinct and
far more durable than metal type, it
being DOSSible to run off a million COP
les without the slightest tendency to-
ward effacement.
The new invention means, among
other things, no typesetting,- no type
distribution, no melting of metal, no
stereotyping, no justffying of lines, no
standing matter. no money invested in
type-Only a machine the size of two
typewriters and press.

THE PALACE AT SEOUL.
Terrible Tragedy Recalled by Hi
Recent Destruction.


Recent Destruction.
The recent burning of the palace of
the Korean emperor at Seoul recalls
the tragic death of Queen Tai Wen
Koon, which occurred within its walls
a few years ago.
The queen, a very clever woman. was
n partisan of the Russians and the
japanese decided on her removal. One
night mob broke in the palace gates,
fought its way to the queens pavilion
and slaughtered her in the presence of
the emperor. Her body was carried
to Il grove in the palace grounds,
drenched with oil and burned, and the
ashes were scattered in a lily pond in
the palace yard.
The next day the little finger of the
i'll fated queen was found in the case.

she had been murdered. This little

is expected that the institute will be
completed next year. 1t will have
an income of over $4,000, and it is the
intention of Mr.. Phipps to expend more
than million in making it the best of
its kind in the world.
Henry Phipps resembles his friend
and ex-partner, Andrew Carnegie, in
that he began life with practically
nothing. Hewas born in Philadelphia,
but at an early age went to Allegheny
City. In his youth he entered the
employment OF a firm of iron dealers,
and in the course of six years became
n partner.
He subsequently went into partner
ship with Thomas NJ. Carnegie, Il
brother of Andrew, and for several
years the firm operated the Union iron
mills in Pittsburg. Since 1872 Mr..
Phipps has been fully identified with
the growth of the organization which
has been successfully known as the
Carnegie-Phipps company, the Car
negie Steel company and as the United
States Steel corporation.
He retired from business about four
years ago, and spends his time between
his residence in New York and Beau
fort castle, his place in Scotland. At
the close of the South African war he
gave 100000 to relieve distress among
the Beers. Last year he gave $4,000
to found an agricultural college in In
dia. and he has made several large ben
efactionS in PittSburg.

WARD COUNTY FUSS.

The gap in the republican party in
Ward county was widened Saturday
when instead of one county conven-
tion two were held in the city of
Minot. The regular party held a
convention in the opera house, the
reorganizels repaired to the court
house amid the most threatening
scenes on The streets. All day the
streets had Decn crowded with dele
gates and those inte rested in the
politics of Ward county and a num-
Der of special police and deputies
were sworn in. as it was feared
trouble might ensue between the
members of both factions. The Ie-
organizers claim they were refused
admittance which was denied by
the regulars. Major J. S. Murphy as
chairman OF the republican COM
mittee, made statement to the
effect that the committee had given
all delegates until ten o'clock in the
morning to show their credentials,
and this not being complied with by
the reOrganlzers, requested them to
show the same at the door before be-
ing admitted. This he claims the
leOIganizers refused to do.
Mr.. Murphy read list Of delegates
admitted to the number Of 50, and
claimed a majority also, stating that
it was the right and legal convention
and that the break by the reorgani-
zers was prearranged. The nesting
was then called to order by D. r.
Pierce Of Kenmare.

WAS NOT A SUICIDE.

Clippings taken from the Anaconda
Standard in relation to the recent
death of J. E. Mahoney formerly OF
jamestown say that after the coroners
inquest was held it was decided by the
jury that death had not ensued from
poisoning as first stated IN the Butte
papers, but from heart disease.
What led to the supposition that he
had taken poison was the fact tha he
had formerly been working at a con-
centrator and had injured his hand.
He had recovered from the wound re-
turned TO work only i.: time to see the
works shut down, after which he made
"Trip to Helena to represent on a
homestead location and then returned
to Anaconda, appearing very de-
spondent.
He told Ella BlOmander, a chamber
maid that he was going "far away"
but She paid no particular attention
to it till after several Intellectual ef-
forts She could not arouse him to get
in to arrange his room. At seven
thirty that evening she called the
night clerk, and when they forced
their way into the room MahOney was
dead and must have been SO for twenty
hours. A paper with some white
crystals on it similar to morphine
were found and it was supposed that
he had taken poison, Upon analysis
by druggist, however, it was said to
be nothing OF poisonous nature and
the jury decided that death had re-
suited from heart disease.
The remains were buried from the
Sacred Heart church, May 1lth. De-

ARE BEING SW|NOLEO.
GOVERNMENT GIVES WARN
ING AGAINST GANG OPER-
ATING IN DAKOTAS.

st. Paul Globe, May 1.-THE gov
ernment has given warning that an
organized band Of swindlels is..active-
ly at work in several western states,
notably Utah, North and South Da-
kota, and also operating to lesser
extent in the east. These sharpers
have selected as easy victims pros
pective homeseekers who are greatly
interested.
By means of advertiser ents, clev-
erly wOrded, in which they claim to
have secured inside information re-
garding the plans of engineers. and
by the display of alleged copies of
government maps and surveys, they
have been successful in duping many
unwary homeseekers. For consid-
Grafton Of from $50 to 5000 these
swindlers guarantee to locate settlers
upon the best irrigable lands under
the government works.
Notwithstanding that the govern
ment some time ago issued circular
warning the people against being
taken in by just such frauds, the
swindling goes right along, and the
sharks are reaping rich harvest. 1t
should be clearly understood that
these men have no inside informa-
tion. Their maps are mere township
plats, or rough drafts, such as can be
obtained at the land office. The swind-
lers have no data other than any in
tending settler, and obtain upon re-
quest addressed to the interior de-
partment.
Settlers who make filings based on
the information received from the
swindlers will not only lose the money
paid out, but are likely later to find
the lands are not included in the
80 o1ernment's proposed system, and
thus will have exhausted their home
stead entry upon worthless land.
When the proper time comes for
throwing open to homestead entry
the lands under these great irriga-
tiOn projects, the secretary Of 'he
interior will give due notice through
the newspapers.
