MECHANICAL
 STENOCRAPHER
Up.t0.Date Device Which Has Not Yet Become Common in the
 North.

A. J. Beechcr, the wellknown court stenographer, has installed a method of taking dictation which threatens to put the other shorthand writers of Nome out of business, according to the Gold Digger
 A visit to his well-appointed office is a revelation as to modern methods in the reproduction of testimony, court proceedings and other dictation He has just installed an improved conner cial graphophone transcribing outfit, such as is now used in the larger bus- ness houses in the States In installing this apparatus Mir. Beecher displayed considerable ingenuity. Certain parts of the apparatus were lost in transit, but by purchasing stathoscope from a local physician and an ear trumpet from a local druggist, he managed to get the apparatus in excellent running condi- ton. The matter is read rapidly into the recording machine, and is then re- produced and taken off by expert type writers, so that lawyers engaged in the trial of cases can have complete tram script of the evidence before breakfast the next morning. A number of the recording machines will be placed in the different offices in the town, so that those who need the services of stenog- rapher can make their dictation at any time they seem so inclined, and can se- cure transcript of their dictation al most immediately. Mir. Beecher also has his telephone so arranged that he can take dictation over the wire
 The local attorneys are delighted with the idea of the mechanical stenographer, and have arranged with Mir. Beecher for a number of them to be installed in their offices next summer.

Mark Twain s | Grievance

 in New York, Mark Twain made an elo- quent plea for simplified spelling, in the course of which he told the following story, which was omitted from the As sociated Press report of his speech:
 ''I was once required" he said Ito write ten pages of copy for a magazine, where words of not less than from ten to twenty letters were employed, at : cents word-greatly to my pecuniary loss. protested to the editor about it. He said: "A words word, and cents is the contract what are you going to do about it?'
 "I said: Jackson, this is cold -blooded oppression. Whats an average English word?
 "He said Six letters
 ''I said: Nothing of the kind that's French, and includes the spaces between the words; an average English word is four letters and half. By hard, honest labor I've dug all the large words out of my vocabulary and shaved it down till the average is three letters and half. can put 200 words on your page, and there's not another man alive that can come within POO of it. My page is worth $S4 to me. It takes exactly as long to fill your magazine page with long words as it does with short ones-four hours. Now then, look at the criminal injustice of this requirement of yours. l am care !ful. I am economical of my time and labor. For the family's sake I've got to be. So never write metropolis for : cents, because can get the same money for 'city." l never write policeman" because can get the same price for "cop." And so on and so on. l never write "valetudinarian' a: all, for not even hunger and wretchedness can hum ble me to the point where l will do a word like that for cents; l wouldn't do it for 15.

 "He counted, and said it was twenty four. I asked him to count the letters He made it 2O3.
 ''I said: Now, hope you will see the whole size of your crime. With my vo- cabulary would make sixty words out of those 203 letters, and get $40 for it; whereas for your inhuman twenty four I would get only $l.6S. Ten pages of these skyscrapers of yours would pay me only about $300; in my simplified vo- cabulary the same space and the same labor would pay me $S40. do not wish to work upon this scandalous job by the piece; want to be hired by the year.. He coolly refused. l said:
 "'Then, for the sake of the family, if you have no feeling for me, you ought at least to allow me overtime on that word extemporaneousness.' Again he coldly refused. seldom say harsh word to any one, but was not master of myself then, and spoke right out and called him an anysodactylous pleistosaurian ccnchyliaceous ornithrhynons, and rot ten to the heart with holophotal subter- ranean extemporaneousness.

mot BONA Eide

Ferry and Fernandez. the two gen.
tlemen representing the Osorio. Luhan
and Fernandez settlement associations
of Hilo. yesterday and today had long
conferences with Land Commissioner
Pratt regarding the settlement Of some
blocks of Hakalau lands, which the
members of the associations want OPP.
oned for their benefit. Considerable
differences have arisen from time to
time between Pratt and the prospect.
i've settlers, the principal bone of con.
IGNITION being the size of the lots. The
settlers first wanted 100 acres each,
while Pratt only wanted to give them
twenty-five.
Pratt said this morning after the con
ference that the settlers had come
down in their demands. so that now
they only wanted thirtyfve acres
each. The representatives had been
very agreeable and did not seem to he
in the least stubborn in their demands.
After seeing Pratt, Fernandez and
Ferry called on Acting Governor At.
ldnson, with whom they also discuss.
ed the matter Atkinson. when sc"n
after this conference. said that he cx.
pccted to have another meeting with
the two representative this afternoon
They admitted to me" said Atkln'
son, that when they wanted 100 acres
Of land each. their purpose in getting
sucl big pieces was speculation. They
| also admitted that there were some
members of the associations who were
merely after the land for speculation
who did not intend to live on the land
but merely to get some valuable land
Tor n small price. They asked. how
ever. that those among them who were
bona fldc settlers, be not made 10 sui
fer for the faults Of those who were
not In earnest, which ! think Is per
fcCtly reasonable, especially since The
associations themselves are now try
ing 10 weed out the nOn.bona iido mem
bcrs. and have asked leave TO chang,
their membership roll accordingly.
The settlers want thirty acres o
land each while Pratt wants to give
them only twenty-five. That ma ter
am going to leave to Pratt, as h,
knows more about these things than
