Trihing things often suggest ideas,
that carried to a successful issue, become
of paramount importance to a commune
ty. The latest is to improve the auto
mobile; and the patentee of the new de-
vice is to be Miltonian. Briefly stated
it is to introduce a dummy, or automatic
hand shaker to the car. In doing this it
will be necessary they are not al.
ready thereto have the steering appar-
atus on the left side of the car, and the
automatic hand shaker on the right The
chauffer will operate both When run
ming the machine slowly through town,
particularly the lower part of town, the
chautfer sees sport, he touches the
treadle of the hand shaker, the hand is
thrown out and grabbed BY the pleased
pedestrian of the street. The car moves
on and no unnecessary time is lost in
useless palaver. This, it is supposed,
will supply a long felt want, especially
TO some people.
W. T. Stewart. of the American Baptist
Publication Society Colportage, was in
town last week. The contractor had
commenced driving piling for the found |
alton for the block of buildings to be |
built on North Union ST. The steam
pile driver was not in order and could |
not be put in order by any at work on it. |
Mr.. Stewart stopped his horse and went /
to the workmen. He said: Il am /
machinist. He soon got the recalcitrant |
pile driver in working order
Would it not be of advantage to travel
ers on the streets if the loose stones from
which the earth has been worn and
washed away, on Federal and North
Union Sts., were removed in some way
81 -
If these stones wero not removed he
should have to quit using these particu-
lar streets. It is up to the proper author
tiles.
Camp meeting visitors, vacation visitors
ard others of transitory character have
about all left town. We have, however,
about quarter of thousand foreigners
mostly Italians-from Philadelphia, do
ing factory work. When not at work
they are on the street, making themselves !
acquainted with the town To look at J
this gang Of humanity-and some Of the
girls are quite pretty, with their jet black e
hair and olive complexion one could not !
think race suicide one of their attributes G
We counted at one of the eanneries at one I
time 81 children from II years down b
ward, and we are sure we did not see u
them all. Some of them were on the u
roof Of the barracks, some were in the
branch and one was III a -four barrel.
Nearly all of the cannery help this year
is imported, and from appearances there
IS plenty of it. 1t is a lamentable fact a
majority of the men of Milton will not
work and the canneries will not depend i,
IN them. ~
