The press was built with special
reference to strength, convenience
and mechanical appearance. It is a
solid, substantial structure. 1t rests
upon solid cement walls, to avoid vi

pressman TO obtain access to all parts
for cleaning, oiling and attendance.

MERGENTHALER
TYPE MACHINE
BETTER KNOWN AS "LINoTYPE'
MOST PERFECT PIECE OF
MECHANISM MADE.

The linotype or "Merganthaler,"
the machine used in setting the type
for the Herald, is an interesting piece
of mechanism. A cut of the machine
is shown in this issue.
The linotype Is tyDe-composinS
and casting machine, which produces,
at each revolution, a solid slug or
line of type, hence its name, which
is pronounced with the long sound
Of /, and not the short sound. 1t COM
prises a composing, casting, and a
distributing machine, all the opera
tions, except the composing, being
automatic. In a slanting magazine at
the top of the machine are the dies or

each connected with a letter in the
keyboard below. Each channel holds
twenty mats of the same character,

For more than a week now the Her
aid has been printed on its new Cox
Duplex Web PerfeCting press, and its
enlarged and improved form has al
ready won for itself many compll-
ments from its readers. The new
press is a joy to everybody connect

splendid piece of mechanism to all
who have witnessed il.
Highest Type of Machinery.
The Illustration of the new press
gives a very fair idea of the ma
chine, but it is lacking in its ability
to give an adequate conception of
its vast dimensions. 1t IS no small
undertaking to erect such a press.
There are more than 5000 pieces,
varying in weight from one pound
to one ton. The total weight of the
press is over fourteen tons. 1t Is
without doubt the best press print
ing from type forms that can be
bought. Papers as large as the Paris
edition Of the New York Herald are
printed on the Duplex and it is the
identical press used by that paper.
The new press will do in half an
hour, work that formerly required
several hours to do, and the work is
done better and surer and toe print
is even and neat. Papers drop from
the press within a second Of the
starting of the machine at the rate
of about 100 per minute so VIC will

HAS DONE MUCH FOR DISTRICT.
Mr.. Macfarland Gratified Over Action
Of Congress.

According to Commissioner Mcfarland,
for Washington. 1t has established a record
in respect to legislation for extraordinary
improvements and projects particularly af-
fecting the morals, health and beauty of the
District However. aside from the provis-
ion for sewer facilities for suburban Sec
tions no new extraordinary projects have
been undertaken by Congress during it's
present session. The additional sewer IA
cilitieS were impressed upon Congress as
especially needed, the city sewage disposal
system having been practically completed
and ready for operation.
Among the most important things provid-
ed by Congress were appropriations for the
new municipal building, elimination Of grade
crossings, sewage disposal system, compile
ton of the filtration plant, home for the
aged and infirm, additions to the workhouse,
new industrial home school for colored boys,
stations, the Police Court, the Connecticut
avenue bridge, extension of Massachusetts,
avenue and 10th street, installing sixty
candle-power gas lamps in place of the old
wenty-candle-power lights, installation of
more than 5000 water meters, increased pay
for the firemen. police and teachers, and
certain improvements in the public charity
system, especially in it's relation to the
private institutions, which it utilizes for
public service.
There is now pending in Congress sew
eral important bills with relation to the
District among the more prominent being
the permanent playground project, the reg
legislation, the child labor BILL the regu-
lation of life assessment insurance, the To-
connective smoke bill and the bill to regulate
usurious money lenders.

NOT DECIDED ON MERIT.
Attorney Leckie Says Auto Cases Are
to Be Appealed.

Attorney A. E. L. Leckie of the firm of
Fulton & Leckie, counsel for Col. M. A.
Winter and other Washington automobiles
in their action against the Glen Echo, Nd,
authorities, was seen today by a Star re-
porter in reference to the recent action of
the United States court at Baltimore in
refusing to grant an injunction restraining
Mayor John s. Garrett and Marshal Charles
Collins Of Glen Echo from exercising juris-
diction over the Conduit road.
He said the decision of Friday was not
rendered on the merits of the case, but
was a refusal to grant an injunction on
the ground that no irreparable loss or in
jury was sustained by parties complaining.
The court announced that the merits of the
case were not passed upon at the hearing
and could not be-that is, as to whether the
Glen Echo authorities have jurisdiction over
the Conduit road.
The presiding judge stated that the fed
eral authorities are loath to grant an in
junction unless irreparable loss can be
shown. AS this was not done, the applica-
ton was denied.
Mr.. Leckie said the merits Of the case
will probably be brought out on an appeal
from the Rockville court as to whether the
state of Maryland has control over the Con-
duit road. The contention of Col. Winter
and the other autoists is that the state has
not such control.

HONOR LoNGFELLoW'S MEMORY.
Proceedings at Meeting Of the Uni
tartan Club.

The Unitarian Club in All Souls Church
last evening held services in commemora-
ton of the birth of Henry Wadsworth
Longfellow. Addresses were made on the
life and works Of the poet, and selections
from his verses were sung by the choir.
Rev. DR.. Edward Everett Hale, formerly
pupil Of Longfellow and his personal
friend during and after that time, made the
principal speech, others who addressed the
meeting being Rev. Ulysses G. B. Peirce,
George F. Bowerman, William E. Gambler
and DR.. Hannis Taylor.
Rev. DR.. Hale declared Longfellow was
close student of the literature of Spain,
Norway, England, Italy, Germany and
other countries, in marked contrast to other
Americans of the time, who, he said, were
on their knees to the literature Of Eng
land"
II met him first when he came to Cam
bridge as a professor of modern litera-
ture' said DIR. Hale He made the stu
dents of his class his friends and COM
panions and did not maintain that dis
lance between instructor and student which
was the custom in Cambridge at that time.
He made us love him and the studies we
took under him.
.Longfellow never discussed the problem
of life. He never took tilt against the
Ten Commandments.
"Only the recording angel knows Of the
help he gave the unfortunate. Every beg
gar who came to his door received his
aid His life was wholly unselfish one,
and he lived to help others. The great
gift of his life was industry"

National Turner headquarters at Indian
apolis, Ind, delivered an address.
I'VE imagine that we live in free coun-
try, and We imagine that there is no king,
no nobility, no aristocracy in this so-called
republic he said. I'VE not only have one
king but there are many. There is the rail-
road king. the steel king, the oil king; and
there is the nobility of the money kings,
the almighty dollar and this kind of king
is the meanest of them all. This money
aristocracy frames and passes our laws,
and elects our public officials for u.s.
1t Is great mistake to think that We
are compelled to work every day, every
year without end, in order to support a lot
of kings and other rich good-for-nothings.

one which assures to every man the full

Holiday Shoot of Gun Club

Gun Club, Washington's birthday, was one
of the most interesting that has been given
by the club this season, although no high
scores were made, the northwest wind be-
ing too strong for fine shooting. The shoot
occurred on the grounds of the club in the
southeastern section Of the city, and with
few exceptions, all the members of the
Eastern Branch Club were present, and
had a try at the clay pigeons. Members
of the Analostan and other gun clubs of
the District and vicinity were present, and
took part in the days sport. 1t was prob
ably the last outdoor shoot of the club
until the regular season opens in April,
when shoots will be held twice each week.
The officers of the club are arranging an
interesting program for the coming season,
which includes several tournaments and
numerous handicap events.
