published in the l’niou condemns both

to the latter arise from a lack of kuowl~

and the existence of a bigbscliool which
did not fit boys for college as the school

There is a spot in your eye that is not

Now move the paper slowly toward the

appear: but if you bring the paper
nearer it willcome again into view. You
may not succeed in the experiment on

can hardly fail: and the suddenness with
which the black spot vanishes and reap

J. J. A80“ m HAW FOR AND
HAT FORMING WORKS-
9—..—
On the evening of the 'l‘th of last May
the Hatters‘ Fur and flat Forming \Vorks
of J. J. Asch were destroyed by fire.
Mr. Asch took temporary quarters in
Fitch‘s Planing’Mill. and in a few weeks
began the erection of new works on the
old site. Last Friday the new works
were occupied. which are being rapidly
fitted up with the machinery necessary
to the businemi. The new factory is
probably the best built in the state. and
the best adapted to the uses for which it
is designed of any in this country or
Europe. It occupies. with its lientos
and stock house. an area of 185le
feet. All the buildings are of brick.
The main one is 140x40 and is built
throughout in the most substantial man-
ner. the. walls being eighteen inches
thick at the base and running to sixteen
inches at the top. By its plan it is four
stories. the first being a basement. The
buildings are on the north aide of a plot
of an acre and a quarter of ground. and
adjoin the tracks of the Consolidated
road. leaving all the land on Monroe
street to a considerable depth unoccu-
iied. in its proportions the factory pre-
set a pleasing architectural appear-
antwv. and affords the great desideratum
in manufacturing. the best light, venti-
lation and operating space. ' . _
The first story of the main building is
divided in the center by a pairtition. The
south half is the
. FORMINH RUUM
in which there is am ile space for five
machines. The fo ting tubs are set
upon a cement flooring. under which
there is a capricious drain to carry ofl' all
the water direct to tll" sewer. The bar-
dening tables occupy one side of the
apartment. The room is ceiled over-

The north part of the first floor is used

There are eight machines in this room.
which are capable of cutting :toom
skins per day. Everything in this dc»
partinent is arranged in the best and
fitted up in the most thorough manner.
A door from this floor leads into a
liento in which other branches of the
business are prosecuted. First comes the
\\‘_\sll RUUM.
which is capacious and Well lighted and
ventilated. The floor is of brick. over«
laid with cement. Two machines gore
used here for washing the uutria ‘and
beaver skins. and a deep drain carries
oil‘ the water direct to the sewer. Ad—
joing this is the
t'ARRt"Tthi noou
where the skins are chemically treated
to prepare the fur for removal. A
marble table runs the whole length of
one side. on which the skins are manip~
iilaled. They then pass into the
human noon
where the skins are placed in large ovens
constructed on an extensive plan and
with the “lost. thorough safeguards
against tire.

covered with fireproof material. and set
in iron fraiiies.-so that it is practically
lire proof. Adjoining is the

proof door. The engine is of the cob»
brated l‘orliss make. and of one hun-
dred horse power capacity. The fly

H.000 pounds and has a llhlrly'lllt‘ll face.
from which two belts run direct to the
main shafts iii the first and second floor.

is devoted entirely to blowing. mixing
and chopping machines. of which there
are twenty. In this department venti~
lation is highly desirable for the comfort »
of the workmen and the best handling
of skins and the cut fur. and everything
about its arrangement is made with this
end in view. It would be hard. if not
impossible to improve it.
Tut: Titian tin-Hz.
This entire floor is used for the storing
of the skins after they have been carro-
tcd and dried. and has a capacity for a
million of skins. Mr. Asch lit‘t‘ps skins
here for six months before cutting. This
time is required in order for the fur to
come to the best condition for felting.
and for this reason the for from this
factory has become noted for its superior
Working qualities and is: in such de-
mand. being t‘llllSldt‘l’t\l by the finest hat
manufacturers the best domestic fur
made. and in no way inferior to the best
foreign iroduction. .~\ novice. behold—

they go to. The stock consists of coney.

is used for brushing machines. and in
this department the greatest care is ex-
ercised to free the skins from what are
known to the trade as “blood dags.“ and
which play so much mischief if they get
into hat bodies. llere every skin is in—
spected before it goes to the cutting ma-
c tines. and none pass out of the depart~
ment until they are perfectly free of dust
and dogs. Sixteen machines are used in
this department. and o ten ventilators
through the roof effectiia ly carry otl‘ all
dust. From here the skins go to the cut—
ting room. where the fur and pelt are
separated in the most thorough manner.
l-‘lRE Al‘l‘ARATl‘S.
Special care has been taken to avoid
fire. but in case it should occur. the
means for confining it to the department
in which it starts are first class. The
floors are made to hold two inches of
water. and water pipes lead direct from
the main to the building. and there are
ample lines of hose on each floor. The.
iron cornice. at the base of the mansard
roof makes a gutters foot wide. in which
men could easily walk to car a line of
hose to any part of the roof. ide the
main stair way a fire escape leads from
the top floor to the ground. 80 complete

committee of insurance men have paid
Mr. Asch the compliment of the best ar-
ranged and most thoroughly guarded fac-
tory they have examined.

The heating is done b steam and by
the new method of pacing thepipes
overhead instead of around the sides.
This is done by using the exhaust from
the engine which throu h a six

An elevator runs from the basement
to the top floor, and is so constructed as
in its passage to automatically close the
doors opening into it, which totally pre-

To the Public!
“'hercas. It has been currently re
ported. especially to the deception of the
mechanics of this town. that Mr. A J.
Crofut. of the firm of Crofut & Knapp.
has visited or caused to be visited the
undersigned in relation to a reduction of
the wages of men employed by them.
and inasmuch as a number of well-mean-
ing; mechanics are inclined to believe
this unifijl and~slmiderous charge. we
doe-in it nuru‘.jfv to the said A. J. t‘rofut.
as well as to alrnu‘j‘llillllt‘fl and citizens
in general. to emphatitu‘nl‘ deny ”lb“
charge. and to state above ourft‘il't‘t‘lll‘t‘
signatures. that, in nowise has theft?-
tleuiau aforenamtgd communicated with.
or visited us for any such purpose what-
ever. and that he has in nowise——neither
directly nor ilidircctly—attempted to in-
fluovce us in any matter concerning the
conduct of our business or the reduction
i-f wages. or any other question inndv-
ing in any way the treatment of those
einployul by us. And furthermore. we
take this occasion to express our highest
esteem for the the said Mr. A. J. Crofut
as a business manager and christian gen—
tleman. Moreover. we believe the afortL
mentioned charges to be the fabrication
of unprincipled men. who are likely to
resort to any measure. however unjust.
to further their own ends and to deceive
the public.

Tuesday morning on the arrival of the
L31 \\'asliington rxpressirain from New
York. Cashier t‘olc cf the Faitlield Coun-
ty National Bank got off aiid called up«
on t-tlicer Saunders to rest a man in
one of the cars. The tvl icer asked on
what charge. but the cashier did not
make any. but insisted on an immediate
fll’ft‘sl. 'l‘lio‘ l'lllt‘t‘l‘ \\‘t‘lll ll‘llu llu‘ car.
and was shown an elderly gentleman.
who Mr. t‘cle :lS‘Ul't d of assaulting him.
The cldrrly gentleman said he would
:lt‘t‘-Itl)]I:lll_\' the otlicer if he desired him
to do so. but requested I.im to inquire of
othi'rs in the car to \\ ho was the
assailant. This the otlicer did. and was
assured by several that Mr. t‘ole was to
blame. lie therefore. declined to uiake
the arrest. and left the car with Mr. Cole
after the train had started. Mr. Cole
was very u-retli \\‘lll\ the policeman. and
freely vented his feeling toward him in
abusive language. Chester Lemar. a col-
ored man. was with Mr. Cole. and tried
to quiet him. but did not succeed until
the otlicer threatened to put the cashier
in the lockup. Mr. Cole then went to
the Mahackcmo hotel and telephoned to
the boy in charge of the telephone otlice
to r« quest Chief Lockwood tocome down
to the city to make an arrest. The boy
declined to leave the oflice to find the
chief. A team was then secured and
about ii a. in. Chief Lockwood and oili-
cer Rich came down. probably thinking
there was a rit‘t. and the city force need~
ed assistance. “'lien they ascertained
that the cashier wanted otlicer Saunders
arrested. they got him in the wagon with
them and took him home. The uptown
ofllcers evidently (lid not feel authorized
to arrest the city police at the command
cf a bank cashier.

core of Connecticut were given a ban-
quct. after which they repaired to the

the highest honors from the Grand Uflis

of the most agreeable character. The
visiting Odd Fellows impressed all With
their geniahty and character. \\'e can
give no better account of the visit than
the following from the Trenton Sunday
