The device consists Of an improve
ment on the well-known Roman steel
yard, and primarily constitutes an eff
fficient and convenient weighing ma
chine, and, incidentally, furnishes a
suitable medium for advertising pur-
poses. The inventor accomplishes this
by providing a plane surface for the
beam instead Of the ordinary bar by
combining the movable counterp0ise in
a horizontal slot instead of by pro-
tuberance at the extremity of the long
arm by having spring clip provided
with an eye or hook at the extremity
of each limb at the end Of the short
arm to hold the matter to be weighed
in place Of the usual hook or pan, and
by providing an index, which consti-
tutes part Of the hanger, to correspond
with a fixed mark on the surface of the
equilibrium in lieu Of the separate
means ordinarily employed to that end.

Secretary to Lincoln.


In 1861, after being admitted to the
oar of the Supreme Court of Illinois,
ne accompanied President Lincoln to
Washington as assistant secretary
Hay was one of the greatest -diplo-
mats ever developed in the United
States and master of statecraft
whose genius was recognized in every
chancellerie of Europe. His work for
the open door in China, his efforts for
trade privileges in the Orient, alone
stand out as a monument to his ability.
Mr. Hay came to the State Depart
ment in September, 1893, at the close
Of the Spanish war. He had served
with distinction as Ambassador to the
Court of st. James, having had former
diplomatic experience in Paris Madrid
and Vienna, He negotiated series of
important extradition treaties, making
1t almost impossible for criminal to
be safe in any civilized community.
He settled many claims of citizens
against this country and increased our
prestige. He won additional fame in
The Venezuelan tangle. His repeal Of
the Clayton Bulwer treaty was one
of his greatest achievements. His tri-
umphs i'll the East and his settlement
of the Alaskan boundary question are
still fresh in the public mind.

SECRETARY JOHN HAY DEAD
Eminent Statesman Passes Away
at Lake Sunapee, N. H.
CLOSE OF A GREAT CAREER

Was at One Time Secretary TO President
MISUNDERSTANDING of Brown Univer-
sity-was Born in 1s3s--Came to state
Department In 1898, at the Close OF
spanish-American war.
Lake sunapee, ". H.-secretary Of
State John Hay died at his summer
home here ct o'clock in the morn
ing.
His family were grouped about his
bed at the end. He died as peacefully
as though going to sleep.
His physicians had been summoned
few minutes before the end

he breathed his last.
Secretary Hay was taken i'll last
February He went abroad on March
10 in the hope Of regaining his health.

not regain his strength, which had
been undermined during a long appli-
cation to his duties in Washington,
d. C.
He returned to this country with his
family on June 15 and returned to
Washington. He remained at his post
there, however, only few days and
on June % started for lis summer
home.
He had been there just two days
when he was attacked with a chill.
This was the beginning of the end.
That his illness would prove fatal
no one at first believed DR.. Charles
L. ScuddeI, the Boston specialist, who
was called, said that beyond the chill
ne foresaw no special danger, and
that he hoped to soon have the distin-
guished patient on his feet again.
The secretary did show signs of inn
orovement for time, but he later de-
geloped ureamia, and from that time on
grew steadily worse His physicians,
however, said that his progress was
satisfactory and they still held out
hopes Of his complete restoration.
There was no alarming symptoms
until late Mt night, when symptoms
Of pulmonary embolism set in. He
sank rapidly after midnight.
Payne Whitney and his wife, who
was Miss Helen Hay, had all of their
plans made to sail for Europe only a
Jew days ago. They were about to
abandon the trip and go to the bedside
Of Mr.. Hay, but such reassuring re-
ports of his condition were received
that they embarked

auaintance of the leaders Of the Re
publican party. He took part also in

THE PROSPEROUS CITY
More hsrchaudi e Being Handled
 Than Evt r Beftre.

City Councilman Lauver of the Pioneer Transfer company said yes terday that his company had never before been so busy as thus far this fall. He had never before seen the merchants receiving such heavy con signments of goods and they have been at it for some time. The pro- prietors of hauling companies have mad the same experience.
 MT. Lauver would not have thought of it but for a conversation he had with a Washington street merchant who told him that the complaint of business men along the street that business was unusually dull was with out foundation. His own trade he said was better than it had ever been and he believed that his neighbors were in the same fortunate condition.
 Yet, said he, go along the street and every merchant will complain of dull trade. It was his theory that the merchants in periods of drouth got into the habit of complaining of dull ness and cannot break themselves of it. His inquiry of MT. Lauver con corning the status of the hauling bus mess convinced him of the correctness of his theory that more goods are be- ing sold in Phoenix than ever before. There have been all along exceptions to the rule of complaint. Even in midsummer, some of the merchants said that they were doing as we'll as they had ever done in the summer time. It mas been suggested that if merchants would acknowledge their prosperity they would be still more prosperous. If people could be con- vinced that their neighbors were buy ing liberally they would catch the in lection and buy more themselves.

 It appears that while she and a Mex ican male friend were in the room to gether she suddenly grasped a six shooter, -tating that she would kill herself. The Mexican promptly grab he'd the weapon, and in the struggle for the possession of the gun it was dis charged in the floor. The noise at tracted the attention of the neighbors and Chief Of Police Prince, who was close by, placed her under arrest
