A good deal of cotton IS being brought to town these days. The price Is around the cent mark. This cotton could all have been sold for 9 cents, at least. It does not often pay to hold cotton.

old PRINTING PRESS
HAS BEEN IN USE IN THIa
COUNTRY SINCE 1888.
It Was the First Printing Machine
in Use in the American Col
onies-Did Good Work
for Harvard.

The ancient Daye printing press,
which up to a recent date had been in
use at Harvard university, is now on ex-
hibition in the rooms of the Vermont
Historical society, at Montpelier. This
press has seen service since 1888 and
was the first instrument Of its kind in
use in the colonies. Itwas brought from
England and set up in Cambridge.
Mass, the same year that John Harvard
founded the university that bears his
name. Stephen Daye saw prospects for
the establishment Of q prosperous print
ing business in the colonies, and with
such plans in view he left England and
set himself up in the college town.
The first American books, the earliest
editions of state laws. colonial money
and early newspapers were printed upon
this ancient press, and for more than
$50 years has remained in fairly good
condition.
Its first production was brOadsids
of the Freeman's Oath, then the Alma
nae circulated for New England, and in
due course the Bay psalm book
Daye carried on the printing business
until 1649. when Samuel Green and
Marinadalle Johnson came into posses
sion of the Office and press and con-
Quoted the business.
The Daye press passed into the pos
session of Harvard college in 1856. In
1714 it became the property of Timothy
Green, Boston printer and descendant
of Samuel Green, who removed to New
London. Conn, taking the press thence.
The press remained in the Green fam
lily until 1872, when it was purchased by
! Alden Spooner and set up by him at
Norwich, Conn. in the printing Office in
which Alden SpOoner. judah Paddock
Spooner and Timothy Green were part
ners. 1t was next moved to Vermont
ard set up in Dresden.
According to the best obtainable in
formation the first printing done at the
Dresden Office on this press was apam-
phlet containing the sermon preached
by Rev. Aaron Hutchinson before the
constitutional convention at Windsor.
July ., 1777. The pamphlet bears no
dave. but it is reasonable to assume
that the sermon was printed soon after
the Spooners became state printers
Although the story of the career OF
this ancient press is practically the his
tory of early colonial printing itself. the
colonies were comparatively late i'll
adopting the art with regard to its in
PRODUCTION in other parts of the new
world
| The first press in the new world was
established in 1910 at the City of Mexico.
and was followed by one at Lima, Peru,
A years later. Stephen Daye estab-
lished the printery at Harvard univer-
sity and although late improvements
have been added. the old University
press as it was known then. still exists.
The question. Where did printing
| originator" has remained open for
Warren sheaf., 1905-11-30

matter who killed it, the fact remains.
The republicans and the Citizens,
Unionists handy angry words about 1t,
but it is dead On the surface the out
look is that Tammany should win by q
huge majority. Her legions are conf
dent They are already in fancy
portioning the offices for four years
and the spending of $500, 100000 in
taxes and bonds.
Of course they are safe enough so
far as the republicans are concerned.
Even Mr.. Roosevelts great vote in the
city last year came far short OF Judge
Parker's. Ordinarily speaking, a re-
publican candidate for the mayoralty
calls out feeble vote. Tracy, repub-
lican, ran far behind Low, citizens
union, in 1897; getting in fact, though
he was an excellent candidate, but l9
per cent of the vote. Mr.. Roosevelt
himself longer ago ran third to Abram
S. Hewitt and Henry George.
The uncertainty lies in the new par
ties. What effect the municipal league
may have upon public opinion, how
his widely circulated newspapers may
have had-who knows? One thing we
do know. The socialists, in spite OF
the division in their ranks, have made
rapid progress. They polled something
like $4,000 votes for governor last year
and their orators were already busy
on every street corner month ago
talking to men whom the amazing rev,
elations Of insurance corruption and its
alliance with political corruption have
made ready to listen to strong doc
trine. 1t is reasonably safe to predict
for them a considerable increase in
voting strength this year; and that
strength is greatest In heavily Tam
many districts.

Ho ,yer, it is the popular belief that

&e known to have made impressions
upon paper from engraved wooden
blocks
England first became acquainted with
printing through William Caxton. whose
name has become immortal through his
introduction of the art into the British
Isles. He printed several editions of
Chaucer works, and these are now
pointed to as the first printed books
which the Britishers ever read. John
Gutenberg holds for himself the honor
of establishing Typography. However.
he has strong rival in L. j.. Cos
ter a -Hollander who acquired some fame
through his inventions of wood type and
later metal
The system employed by early Chi
nese is interesting in the extreme. The
work which it's intended to print was
put on thin transparent paper. Each
|
of these sheets was then pasted down
ward upon a block of wood and an en-
graver with suitable tools cuts away
the portion of the block and paper upon
which nothing is drawn, thus leaving
the characters in relief and producing
a printing block. To print the block
is linked and a sheet Of paper placed over
it. A brush is run over the paper and
the proof is pulled" The Chinese are
credited with having used movable type
as early as the twelfth ansd thirteenth
centuries. and such types are now used
extensively by European missions in
China The chief difficulty in using
movable types for Chinese work ia that
each word requires q separate charac-
ter instead as In Europeanlanguages, Of
being composed Of letters.

LUTHERAN CHURCH
LOSES INSURANCE SUIT
Failure of Trustees to Note So Per
Cent Clause Does Not Warrant
Setting Aside Contract.

The failure of the trustees OF the
Memorial Evangelical Lutheran Church
to take note that IAN so per cent clause
had been Inserted in the fire insurance
policy of the Lutheran Memorial Church
caused the loss of their suit against the
Northwestern National Insurance Com
pany In disposing of the case Justice
Anderson said that the ignorance of the
insertion Of an additional clause or other
change In an executed transaction on
the part of the complainants would not
warrant the setting aside of the con-
tract as void.
From the testimony it appears that In
July, 1900. the trustees of the church
procured from the Northwestern Ma
tional Insurance Company a policy for
81, 600 for a period OF three years. Prior
TO the time of the expiration OF this pol
icy IL was renewed for an additional
three years. The new policy, however,
contained what is known as IAN so per
cent clause
The officers of the church. however
took IL for granted that the renewed
policy was similar in every way to the
original and failed to examine It, knd
therefore were unaware of the 50 per
cent clause il contained

FIRST STREET SINKING,
OCCASIONS ALARM
Gangs of Men at Work Repairing
Danger Points as Quickly as

The sunlxep condition of First street
southeast. in front or the Library of

this morning that gang OF men was
put to work tearing UP the asphalt
at the most conspicuous points. and fill
Ing the settled places with sand and

Although the sinking of the street
surface began when the opening rift
of tunnel first went through. for three
or four days the settling has increased
the sidewalk new breaks in the cement
have been observed. No attempt will
be made to level the street surface to
Its regular grade, as the pavement and
sidewalk is expected 20 sink several
inches more before the tunnel is COM
pleted.
Half the sidewalk from B street TO a
point almost fn front of the Library
door was torn up this morning, and
the sunken places filled with dirt and
gravel. At one place in the street the
settling of the earth beneath the as
phalt had left a ridge almost one foot
higher than the surrounding surface.
This ridge was almost pointed on top.
and was a pretty bad place for BIZ
cycle or other vehicle TO strike at night.
The workmen this morning tore up the
asphalt and smoothed the ridge to a
level with the street. The sidewalk is
roped off and red lanterns are set out
ger.
