DR. John Preston Ray, the suppos-
ed celebrated criminal who was ar
rested here on the charge of raising
one dollar bills to twenty dollar bills,
and Newton Lamar, who was arres-
ted as an accomplice were taken to
Socorro on last evenings train where
they will be kept for trial. They were
in charge of John Wiley, United
states marshal of Albuquerque. Ray
pleaded guilty several days ago and
exonerated Lamar, but upon investi-
cation it was decided to hold Lamar
He was given a hearing yesterday af-
ternoon before Judge Lea and waived
preliminary examination. A bond OF
81 900 was fixed in each case, which
they will not be able to give. They
will be kept in the Socorro Jail and
will be tried there. Ray is very
shrewd and takes his arrest mocha
lantly. Lamar shows from his looks
that he is very green, and the mental
agony he is suffering is plainly pic
tured in his face.
The men were ironed together, and
Ray did not show that there was any
thing unusual about it. but quietly
read a paper on the train. Lamar was
the opposite He was intensely excit-
ed and was watching his partner
closely On the way down Lamar ham

to give it to his brother who worked
for Mr. Gronski He remarked as he
gave the letter to Mr.. GrOnski, This
is awful Tell them if they will help
me I need it. must have an attor

equally as guilty as Ray, being igno-
rant enough to allow shrewd Grim
inal to use him as a tool to ply his
uefarious trade. 1t is also supposed
n ,at Ray had enough loyalty to his
frie nd to try to exonerate him.

1477, from our present standpoint
OF daily improvement the mode OF
printing of that period may be said
to have been almost wholly stag
nant without any improvement or
modification.
There are several presses n
America and Europe which print no
other books except Bibles. The BIZ
BILE is printed and circulated IN 252
languages. Eighteen copies of the
first Bible are still In existence, and
one OF them was sold Is years ago
for 504 pounds sterling.
Books were more appreciated by
the reading public then than to-day,
as they we're printed very slowly and
the people were. very anxious to get
them to read, and they were so
much better then than most of the
books printed to-day.
There are millions of books and
periodicals printed to-day. Of the
six thousand new works of fiction
printed in the world last year,
eighteen hundred we're printed in
America. Last year one-half mil
lion copies of the book entitled,
when Knighthood Was In Flow
er, were sold. Of the $4,000 news
papers printed in the world, $4,000
are printed in the United States.
There is really no comparison
between the value of modern books
and those of greater merit which
have been tested by time. 1t is i'm
possible to tell whether contempt
rary books will live.
The books which deal with the
subjects in which the people are
deeply interested, and deal with
them with the power of passionate
faith or feeling, are likely to make
an impression on its contempora-
ries which fades as they pass off
the stage; while the book which
touches upon permanent themes
with deeper vision comes to its own
only with the lapse of times.
For this reason the great body OF
Emerson's works is probably more
infential to-day than the great
body of Carlyle's works.
Such books as Shakespeare's
works. Millions paradise Lost, !"
Dante's Divine Comedy" and Ho-
mer's poems have no comparison
with modern books,
There are such men as Dickens,
Thackeray, Bulwer, Milton and Ten
nyson, who are called the English
classics, because their works have
been the example for other writer's.
To-day the question is not so

at little pains or cost book which
would have required infinite care
and labor to even copy only several
centuries ago.
The art of writing is the most
wonderful invention man has ever
devised. The earliest writings were
purely monumental and materials
we're used which were thought to
last longest. AT first stone, brick
and wood we're used for transmit
ting thought. The Romans and
Greeks used tablets of ivory or
metal, When the books we're made
of wood they we're coated with wax.
Leaves of trees were also used, but
the earliest though long obsolete
materials OF Importance were made
from the coats which wrapped the
stalk of the Egyptian papyrus from
which our word paper is derived.
The next material used was parch-
ment made of the skins of animals.
Paper made from cotton came into
use towards the end of the ninth
century or at the beginning of the
tenth.
Printing was made by movable
types by Faust in 1441 and made
public by Gutenberg in 1454, al
though the invention is claimed for
Roster of HARLEM as early as 1923.
The first book printed was the Bi.
BILE by Faust and Schaffer in 1856
Wooden type was first introduced
into England by William Caxton, a
London merchant, in 1477. The
English press was set up in West
Minister Abbey where it remained
until 1894. The first American
book, entitled Escala Espiritual,
was printed by Juan Halbas, in
Mexico, about 1885.
Although printing was spreading
very rapidly not single printer
carried away with him set of types
from his master, but each one made
a set for his own use as much like
some manuscript as possible. There
is, in the first place, the unevenness
of the lines, which very often serves
as guide to the approximate date
OF book, especially when we deal
with the words of the same printer.
Each commenced with uneven lines
and gradually made them less an
even and finally even.
The practice among early print
ers of initiating and reproducing
manuscripts was not abandoned un-
til many years after the first book
made it's appearance. Looking at
the books printed, say from 1854 to
