Hearken to my tale all ye skeptics, and give ear all ye unbelievers, that ye may receive tidings of great joy. A hundred years ago tbe railroad had not been thought of, fifty years atfo the telegraph was laughed at, twenty-nve years ago there were hut few sewing machiues in existence, and GO V we c roe to you with the best news yet received by this gener ation—that, ijf a successful washing machine. Don't smile, djn't look wise, don't lau^h —we miau what we s y —a washing machine that is a success—cheap, stroDg, durable, sim ple —a machine that reduces the manual work to the minimum, one that tseiiher wea-s nor tears the clothes, one that d es away with tubs and boards, one ihat sives sjap and water, one that annihilates the danger of wasting infected clothing, one that washes a collar as well as a sheet, one that does away with slops and steaming one so simple . and easy that a child can work it, and above all, one that is a thorough cleanser, i. e. makes all the clothes as clean and white as you could wish them. There have been washing machines , and washing machines. The first that we can find any reco.'d of is the "Dolly-Tab," of Yorkshire, which was invented a hundred years aud was simply a ruund piece of wood with three or five pins or leg*, like a foot stool, a handle and cross piece. This was pressed iu among the clothes and worked around, and could be used in any tub or JJX Almost all ot the washing machines « siuce invented have been modifica tions of the Dolly-Tub, Another de-1 vice was one with spring ribbed boards between which tbe clothes were rubbed with a swinging motion. Another was one with oscillating boxes which jerked tbe clothes aud water from side to side, another w?s the dash-wbeel, similar to that used iu bleaching works, which bad a j reversible action, lifting tbe clothes out of tbe water and letting tbem fall i back again, bat tbe greatest discov ery of all was tbat made by a French : chemist named Cbaptal, that clothes could be washed by steam. It is tbat discovery applied to small ma chines for domestic use tbat makes a success of tbe ALLKN WASHBB The clothes and dis--olved soap are placed immediately into boiling wa ter, the lid closed to prevent tbe escape of steam, and a few minute* working of tbe handle, which is at tached to a simple lever, thoroughly cleanses them. We say it does and we know it does for we have given the machine a thorough terft. Th-j machine has but one fault—it make* the washing so easy that the women bale to do the irouiug—tbuy want a machine to do that, alno By tbe old method of washing, the clothes were put through a first aud Hecoud suds, then boiled, theu wash ed out of tbe boil, then put through two rinsiug waters, with ofien a pre liminary soaking over night, the op eration for a large family'* washing taking one person's time for a whole day. By this method and with this machine, a larger waabing can be done and done thoroughly and com pletely in two hours at most. Tbe clothes are put through one boiling water with soap, and one boiling wa ter without soap and then rinsed,and, they come out clean and pure, cleaner than you can make them by tbe old method. The manual labor, outside of chang ing the water, can be done by a child of nine years The small pieces, the collars, cuffs, handkercLiefs, etc. come out as clean as tbe large one*, and a heavy bed quilt is as easily washed as a sheet or towel. If this is not a complete revolution in washing we cannot imagine wbat could be No standing and toiling at the wash tub all day, no backaches and sore knuckles, no inhaling un healthy steam, no olds and sore throats from sudden changes of tem perature, no discontented husbands waiting for a wa*h day dinner, no ir ritable, out wives and fretful, un attended babies—pre*t«., change comfort, happiness,peace, ease,health, luxury, beauty, serenity, everything, and wash-day looked fjrward to as a holiday. '•Rub-a-dub,dub,theßongof the Tub" will never be heard again in tbo fam ily which once uses an ALLEN WASHER This simple yet perfect machine was invented by Mr. Eraatue W. Al len of Beueca, Kansas, and was pat ented Feb 2, 1886, Mr. William Shira, the late pro thonotary of this connty, heard of it through some western friends. Like the rest of us he was very skeptical regarding so-called washing macbiaes, bat an inspection of this one and its work discovered puch un expected and unusual merit that,after careful consideration, he decided to invest a large sum in the right to manufacture and sell it in this State, bis right including all of Pennsyl vania, excepting a few northwestern counties. The is no doubt as to the merits of the machine, if such a sim ple contrivance can bo called by that name. Tbe firm of Shira, Shira, & Hays, which includes Mr. Wiliijtiri Shira, bin son Lou, and Mr. James H-tys, has been manufacturing them in Butler for some mouths and has been Hellinif all it could and has sold some territory at good fig ures, but the members of the firm propose holding on to the best terri tory, and manufacturing them on a large scale. There is a fortune in Allegheny and I'uiladelphia counties alone for them, aud their success is assured. The people of Butler should take ao especial interest in ibis washer for besides its intrinsic value it means a now aud industry for the town The tub is dead—long live the ALLBM Was HEII. —\rgHn4, a prior Hwiss, itiventel a lamp with a wick fitted into a lull i# cyliiiler, u;i which a current of air was permitie-l to pass, that giving a supply of oxygen to the inter ior an well a< the exterior of the circular frame.

Terrible Accident at the Plate' Glass Works. The worst nc-ident that has as yet happened at the i'late Glass works occurred Wednesday night shortly : after the men who go on at midnight j went to work Three men, one of! whom is said to have been an Irish man, use a Frenchman aid one a, Belgian, were placing sheers of rongh glass on one of the grinding tables, j bad filled up one side of it, and while j jet standing on the table called ont to tbe engineer to turn it slowly, so that the other side would come around to be filled, they intending to hop around and keep clear of the up per discs as the table turned But by some mistake or misunderstand ing the full power of the steam was turned ou, tbe table instantly began travelling rapidly, and two of the men were caught between tbe large taole ajd tbe smaller discs and cut to pieces—one of them had his arm cut off at the shoulder aud bis bow els cut open aud died almost instant ly, while the other had both legs cut off and died within two hours. The third man, the Irishman was thrown off tbe table and escaped unhurt. Hats and Shoe;.
