WILL HAMMER STAY BURNED7
Coal Black Steeds Drag Huge Mallet
and Black ROBBED Mourners Fol
low at Seattle.

Seattle-The public rite of burning
the hammer, planned by the publicity
club and the other organizations to
mark the end Of petty quarrels that
have injured Seattle, and also to cele-
brate the calling for bids for the con-
sttuction of the Lake Washington canal,
took place Saturday night. A huge
hammer, carried on a crape-hung truck,
was drawn by coal-black horses through
the streets, followed by mourners wear
ing black cowl and gown and a band
playing dirge. At Fourth avenue and
Virginia street the hammer and its
trappings were placed upon a heap of
wood and after a funeral grafton had
been delivered from a platform nearby
with the mayor and his staff as auditors
a match was applied to the pyre, the
mourners threw their gowns into the
flames, the hammer was consumed and
if all the knockers took part in the cere
mony there will be no more knocking.

Early Use Of Machinery.

From an early treatise by Moxon,
published in 1880 in England, 1t Is
certain that at that time the lathe
was developed to a point where 1t was
possible to turn out high-class orna-
mental woodwork, including oval
shapes, but anything more than this
was beyond its power until the slide
rest was invented. Devices for clamp
ing the cutting tools in a fixed posi-
ton were comparatively early, but
the first appearance of the slide rest
dates from 1772. Complete drawings
and details of an excellent slide rest
were given in that year in French
encyclopedia. AS early as 1741 Hind
ley, York clockmaker, produced
screw-cutting lathe with change gears.
This of course was very small ma
chine, and in fact the clockmakers OF
that day seemed to have a monopoly
of mechanical ingenuity. Attempts to
produce machinery to replace the
work of human hands were made
early; thus, for example, in 1882
Wyatt endeavored to make machine
for cutting files, but was not success
full.

PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS
PEOPLE IN STORIES ALWAYS HOT
ON THE TRAIL
Ono Of the Things That Mark Book
Life OF From Real Llfe-Happl-
ness Rarely Bothered
About Nowadays.

Do you know why the word "happi-
ness" has such doleful sound? 1t
suggests Ibsen and sermons and the
like. The people in the stories, the
folks who have those terrible struggles
with evil, are always hot on the trail
of happiness.
1t all sounds 30 odd. 1t is one OF
those things that mark book life off
from real life. Who worries about
happiness In real life? Nobody. The
thing Is just one of those make-be-
lieves that the publishers get us inter-
ested in In order to sell their books.
No? Well, no, we will not make 1t
quite as broad as that. Your argument
Is good there, Of course, and l cannot
withstand you on that ground. But
you must admit In your turn that hap
piness is a thing rarely bothered about
nowadays. Do you personally know
anyone who deliberately and purposely
seeks happiness? l do not mean per-
sons that you have heard Of. second
hand, but cases that have come under
your own observation.
Tho queer part of the pursuit OF
happiness is that there were times in
the past when 1t was undertaken by
everyone. The men of the renaissance
seem to have gone on that bent Any
thing from a building to the execution
of a prisoner was carried out In the
spirit of drawing the greatest possible
enjoyment out of it. How would you
appreciate doing things in the same
way? l find 1t almost impossible to
imagine how one would go about It..
We would search high and low for the
most perfect of morris chairs for the
office, l suppose, and order a five
course luncheon sent in by caterers
every day at noon. Perhaps we would
retire from labor at desk around four
: o'clock, to be bathed and scented, and
SO on. But the thing seems bizarre;
cannot make it seem real.
We do have good luncheons, nice
shower baths, brisk games of squash
dinners at the clubs, rubbers Of bridge
after them, admit, or some of us do
But the trouble Is, we do none of those
things for the enjoyment. The exercise
is for the sake of health, not pleasure
The other things are all designed t.
keep US fit and brisk, to do us good
l. not to give enjoyment. Or, at an!

PEOPLE OF HULL, ENGLAND,
said To BE STARVING
To DEATH NOW.
Anarchy Is Only Kept Down by Minions
of the Law-No Flour for the Poor
Grim Famine Pinches the Lower
Glasses in the Big Cities of Great
Britain Due to Scarcity of Food.

Hull, England.-Hunger is seriously
aggravating the seamen s strike situa-
ton and the piteous appeals of women
and children for food would have pre-
cipitated before now something akin
to anarchy but for the masses of police
that have been sent here from London
and other cities.
Flour is so scarce that the price has
jumped beyond the reach of the poor.
All the Hull flour mills are closed and
efforts are being made to get supplies
from the outside. Police protection is
being promised those who bring in
food.
Twenty-six grain steamers are due
within the next few days with 100000
tons of cargo, but there is no means
of discharging it. The railway and dock
traffic is paralyzed.
Business Paralyzed.
Reports from majority of British
seaports emphasized the growing gray
ity of the situation created by thu
strike in the shipping trade. Unless
settlement is effected indications poin
to general strike by the members o.
the transport workers federation il
sympathy with their seafaring com
rades. AS the membership Of the unions
composing the Transport Workers fed
Grafton is upward of 100000, decision
on their part to join the ranks of tn
strikers would mean one of the creates
industrial conflicts in which the work
ers of the United Kingdom have eve
been involved. The great difficulty Il
arranging terms appears to be due t.
the fact that on neither side is there
central organization with power to en-
force any agreements that may b
reached by the negotiators.

The Missouri River In 1854.

Inasmuch as it has an important
bearing upon the cheapness Of emil
grafton, the fact may be mentioned
here that we were agreeable disap-
pointed at the amount Of business,
and business facilities, upon the Mis-
souri,, say c. B. Boynton and T. B.
Mason, in their reports of journey
through Kansas In 1854. The number
of steamboats, on the river is greater,
and they are larger and better provid-
ed, in every respect, than we had sup
posed would be found at this season
of the year, while the amount OF
freight and number of passengers also
exceeded our expectations. 1t shows a
large population and business upon
the upper Missouri. which fact is well
| illustrated by another. Weston, a
place of some four thousand inhabi-
tants, is, by the river, SOC miles from
st. Louis; and Platte county, of which
this is the principal commercial town,
has been settled only 10 years, and
now contains 100000.

The dramatization of E. P. Roe s
celebrated novel to be offered as the
goth attraction at the American theatre,
Spokane, by the Lawrence players,
starting next Sunday night is great
play built around the terrible Chicago
fire.
A beautiful story in itself the play
offers many dramatic possibilities that

in the tale consists of the difference in

pal characters, Dennis Fleet and Chris
