The Pastimes undoubtedly played
the best game of the season last We'd
nesday afternoon at Franklin Field,
when they succeeded In defeating the
Wharton A. A. End team, which came
down considerably strengthened over
their former appearance. Brown never
pitched better and he had the heavy
hitting visitors completely under his
control The team behind him sup
ported him splendidly and helped him
to pull himself out of a difficult posi-
tion in the eighth inning when there
were two on bases and nobody out.
Stroud also pitched good game and
was well supported except by HOPPER
who clearly had an off day.

Chicago, Aug. 3l.-Within period
Of four weeks Joseph Letter, million
aire, and a member of one Of the old
and best known families in Chica-
go, has succeeded in opening up and
operating his mines at Zelgler H.,
night and day with a full complement
of men and the usual output, in de-
fiance of an armed body Of 400
strikers.
To accomplish this result Mr.. Letter
has given much Of his time to the lit
tie mining town. In navy blue shirt
and overalls, in strange contrast to the
conventional dress which he wears at
home, Mr.. Letter personally patrolled
the plant and directed the defenses
against possible attacks from striking
miners who were camped in tents out
side the town.
For weeks the town was in a state
of siege and the little garrison of
deputy United States marshals and
non-union employees that Mr.. Letter
had taken into the town knew not
what moment, day or night, some Or
gained attack might be made upon
their defenses.
ST was determined that would not
permit my employees nor the labor
union to dictate to me how I should
run my plant" Mr.. Letter said on his
return to Chicago. 1T has been hard
fight, but so far as we are concerned
there is no strike. The mines are
running in good shape now and
don't believe, with the precautions we
have taken, that the strikers would
dare modest my men,"

JUST TALK RUNS
THIS TYPEWRITER
Voice Thrown Into the Hopper
Comes Out Printed on
Paper.

Cincinnati, Aug. 31.-A machine
almost entirely with stenographers has
been perfected by Joseph A. Mccall of
this city. 1t is an automatic typewriter
attachment, run by electricity, which,
sound waves produced by the human
voice, will record them and reproduce
them in printed characters on the paper
in the typewriter.
The most wonderful thing about the
machine is that the person talking into
it may talk in any language he chooses
and have the letter written in that Ian
which he may wish to have the letter
reproduced.
The receiver into which the human
voice is thrown is made sensitive-in
the machine which has Just been com
pleted--to the sounds of $500 words.
An unlimited number of other words
can be arranged, but the i inventor says
Der of words in ordinary use does not
exceed $500.
When word is spoken it's sound acts
as a key to act on small copper disc
Tp the @ word n There are S56S Of the
small copper discs in the machine, as it
is now arranged. Each is about as big
around as the end of a pencil and as
thick as ordinary writing paper. Prop
er names have to be spelled out, but if
any proper names are to be used. otter
enough to warrant it, discs can be put
in to represent them, and then they
need only to be pronounced.
The impressions first made by the
sounds Of the words are put thru small
holes. This record comes in contact
with small copper points, which, wher
! they 90 thru the small holes. form al
electric current which works the proper
keys on the typewriter.
