this vow had passed, but II now thought

INVENTS NOVEL PRINT DEVICE
BY Its Use Paper Is Printed Without
Utilizing Type.

NEW YORK, Jan. 30.-W. S. Timiss
OF Brooklyn, has invented a typeless
printing machine, which he and bust
ness men behind him believe will rev.
olutionize the printing trade. The ma
can operate and uses no type. In it's
construction the machine utilizes to a
certain extent the are of lithograp ply.
1t does away with stereOtypers and
ma triX- makers, and comes as near to
being automatic as device can be.
The operator seats himself at key
board resembling that of a typewriter.
AS his fingers touch the keys, strip
of perforated paper, like a ticker tape
issues from the machine and runs into
another portion of the machine, which
operates automa tcally and grindS out
regular type and in continuous col
umn. 1t is easy to correct the proof if
errors have been made by pasting the
correction over the erroneous compost
ton.
Then comes the second process. The
continuous column of printed matter
is cut up to the lengths desired for the
paper or magazine which it is to fill,
and pasted on a board made into the
MI
surface is then pressed against a fiat
aluminium plate, and the result is a
grease impression on the aluminium of
every letter and character. The alum
inum plate, which is as thin and light
as cardboard, is then clamped on the
cylinder of printing press, the grease
characters proving as distinct and du-
fable as metal type.

Got Stone Free.
A leader was appointed and plans
drawns by themselves We're submitted
to the head instructor for "a One-stOry
stone edifice of rustic design. George
Lauder, Jr, who is a neighbor and
nephew Of Andrew Carnegie, had much
stone lying about his own estate, and
when he heard of the enterprise of the
young women he offered to furnish
stone to them free of expense.
Fifty girls in their short blue skirts.
white sweaters with the letter "R" in
front, and hatless, went after the first
load of stones, one couple driving the
team and the others riding on wagon
or on the backs of horses. Some OF the
stones were so large they took two or
three girls to lift them into the wagon.
Every day after school sessions the
girls, attired in high rubber boots and
with the sleeves of their sweaters roll
ed well up, went after rocks.
The result is a huge pile of stone to
be seen near the seminary, where it
will remain until the weather is such
that the girls can begin building the
structure.

HARTFORD, Conn. Jan. 3O.-Chas.
S. Mellen, president of the New York
New Haven e Hartford railroad, at a
meeting of the board Of trade in this
city said:
If public service corporations are
to continue to do the work they are
best fitted to do they must come out
into the open and see and be seen.
They must take the public into their
confidence and ask for what they want
and then be prepared to explain sat
isfactOrily what advantage will accrue
to the public if they are given their de-
sires. They are permitted to exist, not
that they make money solely, but that
they may effectively serve those from
whom the derive their power.

GIRLS BUILD COLLEGE CHAPEL
They Intend to Do All the Work Them
seIves-AIready Made Beginning.

STAMFORD, Conn, Jan. 3O-Fifty
young women, the daughters of veal
thy parents, attending Rosemary Hall
seminary. at Rock Ridge, Greenwich,
have set themselves the task of build
ing a chapel.
They have been engaged for several
days in loading rock onto Il wagon and
hauling it to the building site. Girls
are acting as teamsters. as leaders and
as receivers at the stone pile, which is
growing rapidly.
They could afford to pay to have all
this work done, but it is their purpose
to show that they are capable of do
ing what they set out to do. AS soon
as the weather will permit the girls
will dig out the pit for the foundation,
mix the sand and mortar carry the bod
and do whatever else the actual work
of building may demand. In word.
the chapel is to be their work and
theirs alone.
The idea originated few months
ago in the brain of one of the girls who
attend that stylish seminary. Her
companions. like her, are daughters of
wealthy parents in the principal cities

!: NEW YORK NEWS LETTER Z:


NEW YORK, Jan. 30.-The recent
inclemency of the weather has caused
Il great deal of trouble in Greater New
York and has directed the attention of
the citizens in general and the munich
pal authorities in particular to many
defects that urgently need correction.
The street car problem is still far
from being solved. The Accommodations
are not adequate and the service on
many lines exceedingly poor. During
cold weather the passengers suffer
considerably owing to the lack of heat
ing facilities on many lines and the
traction companies do not seem to be
inclined to pay the least attention to
the complaints Of their patrons. So
long as the receipts of the companies
are satisfactory the managers do not
worry over the comfort or lack of COM
fort of the travelling public. Mayor
Mcclellan seems determined to es-
pouse the public cause and insist upon
much needed improvements, but it is
extremely doubtful whether he will be
able to make an impression upon the
callous managers of the traction COM
panieS.
