SHORTHAND WRITERS MAY SOON BE OUT OF BUSINESS Typewriter-Telegraphore Exchanges, to be Established in the Big Office Buildings and Hotels in the Principal Cities of the Country.

New York, Oct. 27. Plans now un.er way will make lit necessary for business men to depend upon private stenographers or typewriters. Central typewriting exchanges, to, which letters can be dictated over the tele phone circuit and returned for; signature in a few minutes, are to be established in large office buildings and hotels. Such a scheme has been made practical by means of the telegraphone. which not only - make a perfect reproduction of the human voice, but also records everything that passes over the ordinary telephone. : These records are stored upon a thin steel wire or disa and can" be reproduced an indefinite number of times or removed when there ts a : further use for them.r V' T ".. " ' ' .' " ': Each of the central exchanges will

Jiave anumber of telegtaphones and a staff" of typewriter (experts and trained linguists. "When te business man or the guest in a large hotel wlshek to dictate he will pick up the receiver of hl3 telephone ant ask to be connected with .-a telegraphone in the exchange. - Bymeads of ai small switchboard . he will : have complete conlrol'of the macjiiiie to whictfhe is

dictating in the exchange. If it should be necessary to make any changes in the letter a push button is pressed, which brings a pair of magnets, stronger than those which made the record, -into contact with the wire and any part or the whole of the letter is immediately wiped out. In the same way records of dictated letters are wiped out as soon" as transcribed, so that the machine Is always ready for use at any time. As soon as the dictation is finished the typewriter operator places the telegraphone sounders to his -ears and transcribes the records which have been made, - returning the letters to the office from . which they were dictated. The matter transcribejl might be in English, French,

German or any other language! It might be. legal, scientific or technical full of .difficult words and phrases

vvhich would tax even the most high

ly educated 'and expert stenographer

to take down In shorthand with rapid

Ity and. accuracy. When , the central

typewriting exchanges are establish ed, ' telegraphones ' will, enable bus!

n'ess men to dictate letters, at a great speed, in any language and on any

subject.;. f ,

MASHMEYER'S BIG CATCH

Richmond Merchant Shows That ha

is an Expert With Rod and Reel.

Fish stories, are In season ' at the

Mashmeyer store on Main street at

.the present time, owing to the .fact that George Mashmeyer, the genial proprietor, has Just returned from a two weeks fishing trip In Northern Indiana and Michigan. Mr. Mashmeyer Is an , expert, with the rod, and he succeeded in capturing some of the largest specimens in 'the lakes at Rome City' and Colon, Mich. At the. former place he captured ninety-two fine bass which he brought "home with him. to show his friends, who might be In the class of "doubting Thomases' that he ' was really the fisherman that he pretend-

-ed to be.

Mr.. Mashmeyer did not attempt to i

bring any of the fish he caught in Michigan waters as the Michigan state law provides that no game caught in the state, shall be shipped out.

HITS A TRUST !T .-r - Jee Cutting .Privileges Thrown Open By Uncla 8am. Springfield, Mass.,' Oct. 27. Eight ice cuttlnf privileges ' . were ; thrown open for. public bids by the United States government here. The privileges comprise the entire area of ."Watershops pond, which are practicable for the harvesting of ice, and the government requires that 900 tons annually be delivered to the government for use in the government arsenal and shops here. The government's faction follows ail investigation which was instituted largely through the activity of a large body of Springfield citizens in fighting the so-called ice trust, which It was alleged had taken the-best locations on the pond to the injury of fair competition. Men Will Walk Out. Bristol. Tenn., Oct. 27. Machinists in the repair shops used jointly by the Southern and Norfolk & "Western roads at Bristol have refused to repair Southern railway locomotives in Brlstold. It is stated on apparently good authority that the Southern will bring non-union machinists to Bristol to repair their locomotives, and if this is done the union machinists now working for the Norfolk A Western will, It Is said, walk out In sympathy with the Southern strikers.

Embettfement Alleged. Boise. Idaho, Oct. 27. Robert Lensdon, Republican nominee for secretary of state, was held in J 1000 bonds for trial before the district court on a charge of embezzlement of public funds. lie is accused of having pocketed certain tax rebates while assessor of Washington county.

IiATS CBaWTOBD PHACHXS. has been given , up to the trees. The grounds have been plowed in the spring and kept harrowed until about August. While the trees were young the previous year's growth was cut back about onethird, and the branches were thinned to prevent the trees becoming too dense. I have picked five good crops of peaches, and the apples are beginning to bear. In order to allow the' surf ;'tcj"penetrate to and aid the ripening of late grapes it is often advisable late in the season to lessen the leafy shade of the vine. L. H. Bailey recommends that this should be done by removing the leaves from the center of the vines, and not by cutting away the canes.

In this way only those leaves are removed which are injurious, and as much leaf surface as possible is left to perform the autumn duty of laying up food material for the spring. The removal of leaves should not be excessive, and If considerable, should be gradual, otherwise there is danger of sunburn. It is best, first, to remove the leaves from below the fruit. This allows free circulation of the air and penetration of the sun's rays, which warm tue soil and are reflected upon the fruit. This Is generally sufficient, and In any case only the leaves In the center of the vine, and especially those which are beginning to turn yellow, should, be removed.

"'1 i publishers Press j , Washington, Oct. 27. The devastating hurricanes that hav swept the South twice within so 'Short.a space, have brought. home vividly to the administration the pressing neccessity for some additional method of communication beside that afforded by5 rail. The sorry experiences of Mobile, Pensacola, New Orleans and

other Gulf towns last month, when the railroads were forced 6 abandon operation for days,,' -7 caused widespread suffering, lind actual 'starvation ruled In many communities.-; v

HALLOWE'EN FESTIVITIES.

The Hallowe'en season, almost at hand, takes one back to the days when all made merry on that occasion. Hallowe'en moans- All Halow Even and there was a time when it was one of the most widly observed of all holidays. After, a time the observance of this day almost entirely disappeared and none but the children celebrated it. In these later days people have learned that Hallowe'en is a time for rejoicing. On this evening many entertainments are given. The leading idea respecting Hallowe'en is that . it is the time of all others when supernatural Influences prevail. It is a night set apart for the universal walking about of spirits, both visible and invisible. This age philosophers and students tell us, is drifting away from the deep and stupid into the realm of light and the sensible. "Never," says a noted magazine writer, Vhave there been so many delightful people as ncw. People have drifted away from the heavy and uninteresting, and-consequently unprofitable, into - the realm of the agreeable, the entertaining and

beneficial. The result is plainly &een ia the changed demeanor of the human race." - -v There is perhaps no other night in the year when the popular imagination is given freed play "than on this occasion. It is clearly a relic of pagan times, for there is nothing in the church observance of the ensuing day of All Saints to have originated such extraordinary notions as are connected with this celebrated festival, or such remarkable practices as those by which it is distinguished. In this city there-will be all kinds

parties. Preparations are on foot in many homes to observe the evening in a social way and the vast army of boys and girls will be abroad in the land for the purpose of perpetrating -all kinds of jokes upon the unwary. As has been the custom for a

4ong time, much corn, many beans

and a lot of other things will be thrown away by the masqueraders. During recent years damage to property has been reduced and everyone is thankful that such is the case.

THE PRESIDENT'S VOICE

2 "V V.

"This most humorous thing in the political history of the coun-t-y is the declaration of our Democratic friends that you will be upholding the President's hand and helping to bring about the reforms he aims at by electing, in the place of the one you gave him two J years ago, a Democratic House of Representatives." Secretary Taft in his Baltimore speech.

Connecticut Man'a Invention a Sot

elty With Good Points. Sparring partners are no longer nec

essary to boxers or prlie fighters in

training, for Charles Lindsey of 58 Glen

street, New Britain, Conn., has invent

ed a mechanical boxer that hops about with more agility than a man and de

livers as great a. variety of as swiftly

delivered blows as the most experi

enced pf sparrerS.

The great advantage that this device

possesses over the living boxer is that it never wearies, cannot be knocked out and. never loses its temper. It

delivers straight leads and counters and varies these with an occasional upper cut which comes at the most un

expected . moments. It does not give any warning of what kind of a blow it

is about to deliver, for the familiar I

backward jerk of the best of boxers

is entirely, absent from the performance. Nor can its opponent dodge its blows by side stepping, for on each side of him is a trapdoor connected

with the base of the automaton In

such a way as to make it swing around

and follow the boxer as soon as the latter steps to one side. The mechanical boxer is operated by an electric motor, which works pulleys and crank shafts connected with spring plungers, which make the arms move independently and with lifelike action. First one, then' the other arm comes

into action, but they do not alternate with any regularity, for an irregular cam so varies their motion that the opponentytannot judge which arm will strike next. The body of the automaton m-es from side to side and backwardfand forward under the control of an irregular cam. and this makes the

s land in different places In a

unexpected way.

The speed with which the blows are

delivered can be regulated by the boxer; If he be an expert he may make it rain blows as fast as he can manage them; if he be a novice the blows may be made to come slowly. The arms end in gloves and are fitted with many Bprings, which enable the boxer to ward off blows without Injury to himself. ,

Study your individual birds, save the steadfast thoroughbreds for years and gradually develop whole flocks of them. It certainly pays both In satisfaction and In silver. Do not allow the drinking water to be exposed to the sun. Give fresh water twice daily.

Best Stock Is Cheapest. ' All favor the practice of economy; it is part of the . business of life. True economy comes in. practice here. Suppose two cows are in the market, costing $20. and $50 respectively, and the

question is which to buy, we should

'pnsiuer wuui eucu cow win uo. n the twenty dollar "cow makes $30 worth of butter and, the fifty dollar cow-makes ?75 In a given time, why Isn't the latter by far the more economical? The cheap cow, will consume as much as the higher, priced. In Maine the farmers are losing more in this matter than elsewhere. The quality of is farm animal determines in a measure the profit of the farm. It Is not necessary to. breed pure thoroughbred' animals, but those which will yleldi their product at a profit. Asoth-

er point; Is it economy to use a cheap

breVi or scrub sire or the pure bred for

double the Vcost? I .think the latter cheaper in the dbd. Our stock Interests grow poororV. every year. I can see a decrease lflf the quality and value of our farm animals. When stock is high buyers,.; take "trie best to send to Brighton, andwe do business with the restr We must retrograde, for It Is impossible taPadvance in quality under

This very -difficulty with which we are so heavily burdened must be removed before a dairy can be made profitable. But bow are we going to judge which animals are profitable and which are unprofitable? By the milk sheet, a pair of milk Jcales and the Babcock test. At thff'end of each month we can tell exactly how much milk and butter fajpeach cow In the herd , has producedffand hence how much money ske hajrftnade. From this amount the expencS of keeping her could be de-
