SEWERS
DISCONNECTED
On* Cause of Lawsuit for Continuation of
Nuisance Seamed.
Blizzard's run is rid of one source
of pollution. The sewer connecting
tlie dwelling on Walnut street owned
by the Saul Lyon estate and into which
tour other drains open has with the
consent of .John B. McCoy, acting for
the estate, been discontinued. On
Thursday last Street Commissioner H,
B. Deen dug down to the sewer at two
points, breaking it and cementing it
shut. It would be impossible there
fore to use the sewer and it is proba
bly permanently out of use.
This is the only sewer that empties
into the stream above the Blizzard
property and was the one cause of
their complaint. But one source of
jiollution above that point now re
mains and that is the P. L. Brewery.
The closing of the sewer is regarded as
quite a triumph by the anti-sewer
people. Its construction was authoriz
ed by a resolution of council and it
was doubted whether the present
council bad the authority to close it ;at
least whether the owner having gone
to the expense of constructing it—it
is i#o feet long—would submit to such
action without litigation. As stated
above, however,the sewer was discon
tinued with the owner's consent, so
that there will be no trouble on that
score.
The anti-sewer people will next de
vote their energies to getting rid of
the waste at the brewery,their aim be
ing to purify the stream above the Bliz
zard property iu order to relieve the
borough of additional law suits for
"continuation of nuisance" without
going to the expense of sewering the
town. What success they will meet
with remains to be seen.

WHO 18 PORTER J. WHITE ?
While iu reality there are few better
aud more favorably known stars before
the public than Mr. White, and it is for
the benefit of those who do not call to
mind the brilliant young star's career,
which reiterates an experience of un
precedented success, covering a period
of almost a quarter of century, and yet
this powerful young star has not at
tained the age of ISI. He received his
histrionic education from a school of
artists to whom we must bow in rever
ence our heads of pride, those who were
looked upon by the thespian and liter
ary world, as the grandest and noblest
delineators of the writings from the im
mortal Shakespeare, and Dumas Know
lea, which were no other than Booth,
Barrett, Irving, Charlotte Cusliman,
Thomas Keene, Daniel Bandmann and
others. When but a boy Mr. White re
ceived his instruction from these mas
ters; but later he appeared with great
success throughout all the important
city stock companies, including Boston,
New York, Philadelphia and San Fran
cisco; later, and for five years, was star
ring at the head of his grand scenic
production of ' Paul Kauvar," which
met with unprecedented success through
out the United States. Three years ago
he inaugurated his present grand and
magnificent production of "Faust"' out
rivaling any and all attempts of the
other prominent stars in the piece.
His production, as it stands today,
represents an outlay of over $20,000 and
stands alone, the peer of all seiui-specta
cular productions of "Faust'' ever at
tempted.

"David Harum."
Charles Frohman will present "David
Harum" for one night only at the Opera
House, on Wednesday evening, April
16th., it being announced as an exact
reproduction of the play that ran all
last season at the Gar rick Theatre in
New York. A more successful drama
tization of a successful novel has never
left New York, the most critical being
at a loss to pick flaws of any kind in it
either as comedy or a production. Some
books lend themselves readily to the
dramatic scissors and paste pot, but the
thread of the story of David Harum was
difficult to follow for stage purposes
and nobody expected the immense suc
cess that started in from the very first
night. The secret after all was the hu
man nature of the main character, wily
"David Harum." Nothing of the orig
inal character of "David Harum." in the
phenomenally successful novel is missed
in the character as seen in the play, it
might be said, seen in the flesh, every
tone and gesture, every touch of tender
ness and hint of pure mischief, and
above all the sound horse sense are em
bodied in the acting part, and are easily
and gladly recognized even by those
who have never read the famous book.
The dramatization has the sound merit
of portraying in an intelligible theatri
cal form every detail of the book relat
ing directly to David that could be put
to use in a play.
The healthy old man wears his gray
hairs like a silver crown What if he
be threescore and ten if there is still fire
in his eye,firmness in his step, command
lin his voice and wisdom in his council ?
He commands love and reverence. Yet
liow few wear the mantle of age with
dignity. Dim eyed, querulous of speech,
halting in step, childish in mind, they
superfluous on the stage," dragg
ing' out the fag end of life in a simple
existence. The secret of a healthy old
ago is a healthy age. The man who
take s care of his stomach, who keeps his
body properly nourished, will find that
the t*>dy does not fail him in old age.
The value of Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medit »1 Discovery lies in the preserva
tion of the working power of thestomak
and ot her organs of digestion and nutri
tion. From this center is distributed
the nourishment of the whole body, salt
for the blood, the lime for the bones,
phosphates for the brain and nerves. A
sound stomach means a good man A
man who keeps his stomach sound by
the use of "Golden Medical Discovery"
will wear the crown of gray hairs as
befits a monarch, with dignity and ease.

TYPE SETTING Bf MACHINERY
AT THE AMERICAN OFFICE.
A DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW TYPE SETTING
MACHINE WHICH HAS JUST BEEN IN
STALLED IN THIS OFFICE.
The article which you arc reading,
gentle critic, is type-set by machinery.
If is also written hv machinery on
a typewriter, and perhaps it would be
more entertaining il' it were composed
by machinery.
We hasten to sav this before vou say
it.
As a matter of fact nearly all of the
type set on THE AMERICAN
during the past week is the work of a
machine. Typesetting machines have
been in use a great many years. But
until recently the were crude affairs
and very expensive. Their perform
ance has been so slow that they were
not deemed practical for the newspap
ers of the United States and their use
has been largely of an experimental
character.
Of late years, however, —say within
the last eight or ten —the manufactur
ers have overcome a great many difli
culties in construction and solved
many problems of rapid and accurate
operation, so that every daily newspap
er in the large cities, hundreds in the
smaller cities,have discarded the famil
iar stand and case with its man or
woman typesetter picking up the tiny
pieces of metal one by one and arrang- <
iug them into lines which slowly grew
into columns—two or three columns,
according to the size of the type, be
ing a day's work. Then after the pap
er was printed these columns were
thrown back into the case letter by
letter and line by line—the operation
of distributing being about three times
as rapid as the setting. Notwithstand
ing this work was done slowly as com
pared with the motion of a machine,it
was wonderful how deft and speedy
the expert compositor became in his
work. The performance was as interest- ,
ing to watch as the movements of the
skilled manipulator of a typewritten
The hand flew back and forth, each
t line picking up a thin piece of metal
and placing it right end up in the iron
••stick" held in the left hand. The
typesetter's eye always went ahead of
his fingers and selected the individual
letter from the many contained in the
particular box in which it belonged,
noting its exact position with reference
to the end on which the letter was
stamped and the position of the nicks
which must always be uppermost when
the type was deposited ill the stick.
Then without glancing at it again the
impression left 011 the mind enabled
the typesetter to convey it to its proj)-
THE SIMPLEX TYPE SETTING MACHINE
er place while the eyes selected the
next letter in the word in another part
of the case. But skillful as the type
setter became it was slow process after
all. Behold the change! When you
enter the large composing room
you will see at the further end of the
long apartment (which is full of type
racks, presses and imposing stones)
where the light from the soutli wind
ows is strong, the cylindrical typeset
ting machine.
It stands about six feet high, and
its diameter is not over two feet. It
is connected with an overhead pulley
and shaft for it must have motion to
complete the work of the person who
presides at the keyboard and manipu
lates the now familiar typewritter.
The cylinder is slit at intervals with
perpendicular channels less than a
quarter of an inch wide and extending
from the bottom to the top of the low
er half of the cylinder. These chan
nels contain the supply of type, each
piece in one position on its side, one
on top of another, the letter ends show
ing 011 the outer circumference of the
cylinder. There are !M) of these chan
nels—one for every small letter and
every capital letter and every figure,
fraction and punctuation mark.
At the bottom of the cylinder is a
polished steel plate revolving around
the cylinder at 150 revolutions a
minute. You hardly notice that it is
in motion until the operator begins to,
play 011 the keyboard, then you see
and understand its purpose.
That part of the cylinder referred to
as containing the channels full of type
is stationary. The instant the operat
or strikes a key a plunger inside the |
cylinder ejects the bottom letter 111 the
channel, controlled by its own parti !
eulat kev. and the letter shoots out
upon the revolving disc ami i.-, whisk
ed around until it reaches a chute into
which it is switched, to be carried by
a belt into the typeway directly in
1 front of the keyboard. The letter goes
upon the disc flat upon its side, but
when it reaches the typeway it is stand
iug 011 end, the character being upper
most, where it can be read by the oper
ator. As the keyboard is rapidly work
ed the letters are darting out of their
respective channels and taking their
place 011 the revolving disc. They
move so swiftly that you can only see
the glint of their polished surface as
they whirl around to take their places
in the long line of letters which is
passing in front of the operator.
Here the operator's assistant, called
the "spacer," sitting at the left,
takes up the work (or the operator
swings around and does it). With a
tool called a "grab" the operator
takes enough of the long row of letters
to make a line long enough approxim
ately to fit into the newspaper column,
drawing it quickly forward and sliding
it into a brass pan familiarly known
to printers as a "galley". This pan
is of the exact width of a newspaper
column and the spacer's work is to
make the line of type fit easily into
the galley. 11 a trifle too long the last
word in the line is divided, a hyphen
inserted,thicker spaces substituted be
tween the words for the regulation size
spaces which the operator's key has in
serted. When the line just fits the gal
ley a key is pressed and a plunger
springs up in front of the galley,pushes
the line gently back to leave room for
the next line which has already been
"grabbed" and is being drawn along
the typeway ro take its place in the
galley precisely as before. The galley
will hold about a third of a column.
The plunger not only serves the purpose
of human fingers in pushing the lines
back in the galley but at the same
time places a "lead" in front of the
line if "leaded" matter is being set.
If "solid" matter is being set a simple
adjustment retains the lead in the
plunger when it pushes the line back.
This is all very wonderful, but the
distributer is more so. The machine
not only sets type but distributes it
automatically at the same time. The
upper part of the cylinder, having
channels like the lower part revolves
011 top of the lower cylinder.
A galley of dead type containing the
articles that have appeared in the pap-
■ er is placed in a receptacle opposite
tlie revolving cylinder. A plunger
thrusts line by line, into a channel
• which is not already full, at the same
time extracting the lead and dropping
it into a recepatcle below. As the
cylinder moves around over the sta
tionary section the letters are drop
jwd down one by one into their own
channels ready for the operator's use.
Although the channels are filled in
discriminately 110 letter will leave the
channel until it is direcrtv over its
own channel in the lower cylinder.
This is accomplished by having each
j letter and character nicked in aslight
; Iv different manner, and the lower
channels are fitted with projections or
"wards" to correspond. The principle

convincing proof that the kidneys and blad

What to Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-
Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every
wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the
back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part
of the urinary passage. It corrects inability |
to hold water and scalding pain in passing
it, or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant '
necessity of being compelled togo often
during the day, and to get up many times
during the night. The mild and the extra
ordinary effect of Swamp> Root is soon
realized. It stands the highest for its won
derful cures of the most distressing cases.
If you need a medicine you should have the
best. Sold by druggists in 50c. andsl. sizes.

wonderful discovery F^U-e*—.

WHEN KNIGHTHOOD WAS IN TLOW
ER.
The Great Historical Novel to be a North
American Series.
The most remarkable historical novel
in recent years, "When Knighthood
Was in Flower, 'is to appear in the
Sunday North American in the form of
a serial story. The opening chapters
will be ont on April fi.
Never before has any newspaper se
cured for publication in its columns a
novel so recent and yet so successful as
this one. Julia Marlowe, now appear
ing as the Princess Mary Tudor, in a
play written from the book, is scoring
the greatest hit in her brilliant career
upon the stage.
In writing "When Knighthood Was
in Flower," Mr. Charles Major fixed
upon the most romantic spot in the
most romantic period of English history,
the time of Henry VIII, as a setting for
his book. The story thrills with the tend"
er. pure love of a King's sister for an
untitled but heroic young Englishman.
The hero loves the heroine in spite of
his fight against his passion. Their
pitiful struggles to avoid one another,
their noble sacrifices the one for the
other, touch the most hidden string of
human sympathp.
Brandon and Mary, knowing consent
to their marriage could never be ob
tained from her brother, the King,elope,
with the intent of voyaging to America.
Although she is attired in men's clothes,
the Princess' sex is discovered and Bran
don, holding an entire ship's party at
bay, defends her from the sailors attack
until their captain rushes to his aid.
The elopers are captured by the King's
soldiers, and to save Brandon from be
ing beheaded Mary marries King Louis
of France.
Queen Mary's rescue by Brandon from
a palace in which after Louis' death she
has been imprisoned by his successor,
who loves her, but has been rejected, is
among the most thrilling incidents in
the narrative. This culminates in their
marriage. There is a secondary, but
none the less charming love story runn
ing through the book.
Good for Rheumatism.
Last fall I was taken with a very
severe attack of muscular rheumatism
which caused me great pain and annoy
ance. After trying several prescriptions
and rheumatic cures, I decided to use
Chamberlain's Pain Balm, which 1 had
seen advertise in the Soicth Jerseyntan,
After two applications of this Remedy
I was much bettes, and after using one
bottle, was completely cured. — SALLIE
