a 'tinge of regret, because OF the dis

has decreed that the "stripts' must
be relegated as in the past have dis.

and even less humane penal adjunct
that have in their day each been con

1t is fact not generally known that
convicts In the penteutiary in Joliet

CALLS FOR MUCH MACHINERY.
Device for Cancellation Of Postage
Stamps Is Costly.


One would scarcely believe that the
manufacture of the slmple.looking lit
tie hand-stamps used by the govern
ment to cancel stamps would require
machinery sufficient TO construct
locomotive, but 1t does, and the build
ing at Lodge, Va, where they are
made Is filed With machinery of the
finest and most expensive make, much
of It the invention Of Mr.. Chambers
father, and a great deal of 1t his own.
There are about 10000 postoffices In
the United States, and this number is
being added to every year at a rapid
rate. The Offices in our new posses
sons have helped to swell the list,
and consequently increase the work
of supplying postmarking stamps. for
every e down to the smallest
hamlet - ist use the stamps.
This naturally increases the value
OF the invention which has caused the
government TO pay into the Chambers
family more than s1,250.000, and tia
dynamite for the man who comes nos.
ing around the factory TO see how the
work is done In making the stamps. A
certificate of character is necessary as
soon as stranger gets off the boat at
the lsnding.-Detroit Free Press.

through the tollgate pursued by two

of the features of the play during its
long run Of six months in New York
Every night numbers of people would
wander to the box office about 10
o'clock and buy standing room just
to see this one powerful scene.
There are many other sensational
episodes occurring throughout the
play. The panoramic effects used in
the first act are very effective. The
villain rides swiftly after the hero,
both apparently pedalling their
wheels at top speed TIL the villain

Just as the heorine rides on and
