How the Work of the Typosettlnu la Fncllltiuod I'loetrlo Power All Through the Bulldluir. "The Courant" has lately outfitted Its editorial and other departments where "copy" Is made, with type-writing ma chines. This is another of the many progressive steps of recent days. Readers of the paper are all of them aware that tor some years the type has been set by machines.

The Mc-rgenthaler or linotype machine sets as much matter as four men, and, In many respects, is more accurate than hand work can be. Its first merit, however, is its speed. But, In order to have it move at Its proper rate, the compositor, who is op erating it, must have copy that he can ready readily. Every time a man who Is doing four men's work is delayed, then four men are delayed. It Is a melancholy fact that many people do not write well.

They do not write even Intelligibly. Much of the copy that Is prepared for the newsuaner la In such shape that whoever takes it In hand Is puzaled. Ordinarily that would be a source of trouble, but, under existing conditions, it Is a very serious hindrance and expense. It seemed cheaper and altogether more hopeful to introduce a machine that coum write plainly than to try to open a writing school for hnrdened pupils with established ways already fastened upon them. So an outfit of "Hartford" typewriters has been purchased, and the rooms no longer resound with the scratch of tho pen, but rattle with the tick of the machine.

These have been In the ofllce only a few weeks, but already their beneficial effects are well in evidence. The work of the linotypes has very much Increased1. Tho operator has no difficult words to decipher. ins copy la perfectly intelligible tho moment he gets It, and all he has to do is to go ahead and run his machlnii for all It is worth. In a night, ono machlno will set nearly a column more than It could when there were those constant delays.

On the other hand, the writers havo found It far less difficult to learn how to make the typewriter go than they supposed. In a week or so it begins to go easily, and, before very long, it is Bought In preference to a pen, At Drat it seems impossible to think out a sentence at the same time that one's ringers are playing all over a keyboard. But the fingers seem to take themselves about automatically very soon, and tho task is no mora serious than writing. The "Hartford" typewriter was chosen for various reascms, chieif of which is the fact that it is distinctively a Hartford product. It Is the Invention throughout of a Hartford man, and it Is made entirely In this city.

Alderman John M. Fairfield thought out and constructed the entire machine. It Is now one of the city's famous products, although It has been on the market only about two years. It Is used all around the world. About half the product of the factory Is shipped to the Lomvm agency.

The school board of Louden selected the "Hartford" after a competi tive trial of all machines on an even price. The "Iiartfords" are used In Italy, In Japan, and In Australia, as well as elsewhere abroad. Their especial merit that, while being machines of first capacity, they have a very direct movement and are strong without being complicated. Each "Hartford" has about one thousand less parts thnn some of the older machines. It proves Itself Its work, and suits where It is used.

The Introduction of these machines marks another step forward in mechanical progress here, and follows many others. Mention has already been made of the linotype machines, 'by which the type Is set. Then, all the power In the building Is electricity. The various machines, including the printing press and the typesetters, are all propelled by electric motors, and tha force that drives them is the current of the Farmlngton River ten miles away. Steam boilers and a steam engine stand In the cellar all ready for use In ca.se of emergency, but, day in and day out, these are idle, and there Is not a bit of fire or live steam in "The Courant" building.

Where direct heat Is needed for mechanical purposes a gas jet Is used. If the founders of "The Courant" could look on their paper In these days, they would be Indeed astenlshed at the changes from their time of wooden type, set by hand, of a hand press, of square paper turned like a waiile by hand, and of "news" three and four weeks old, received by horse conveyance. Take it all through, there Is no other industry In which so many changes have taken place as In the making of newspapers. MB. PARSONS BRINGS SUIT.

Court Invoked to Strnltrhton Hrldne-port Tlientor Manager H. C. Parsons of Parsons's Theater has brought two suits of $5,000 each against Bridgeport people, to effect a settlement of his business relations with the Misses Hawes In connection with the theaters of that city. One suit Is brought against Frank E. Staples, to recover for a one-half individual Interest in the scenery and paraphernalia, In the Park City Theater, of which, it Is alleged.

Staples took possession and has deprived Mr. Parsons from the use. Mr. Parsons asks for an accounting and claims $5,000 damages. His other suit Is against Mary E.

and Parah Hawes, and the Interest of Mary Hawes in the lease of the Auditorium Theater has been attached. This suit is based upon an agreement alleged to have been made between Parsons and Misa Mary Hawes at the time she was endeavoring to get Parsons Jennings out of the Park City Theater. Par sons Indorsed notes of Mary and Sarah Hawes, amounting to $800, which were given as part payment to H. H. Jennings in consideration of his giving up his interest in the lease of the theater.

Miss Hawes, it is claimed, entered into an agreement with Parsons that in consideration of his Indorsing the notes and giving up his lease in the interest of the theater in the event of the Misses Hawes giving up the theater Parsons should have the first opportunity of securing a lease. The notes Indorsed by Parsons were not paid by the Misses Hawes. and Parsons was obliged to pay them. The theater was not turned over to him by the Misses Hawes, as it is claimed was agreed upon, and now Parsons wants $5,000 damages. DNcharited from the Klrst Iteglment.

Clark. Fashions. The February number of "Fashions" strikes a note of immediate interest in Its Initial article, which is written by Madame Edwige Lampertl. Her article on "The Voice" Is of kindred value with others that follow. Among the list is "Traits of Norwegian Life," by Mrs.

Elizabeth Aus, herself a native Norwegian. A very succinct and clear account of "The Colonial Dames of America." from the pen of Carolyn Halsted; an Instalment of "Marion Harland'snew etory, "Oh, Love for a Week;" a resume of the work of Mrs. Converse, the well-known lndianologist, and a bright, short story by Percie W. Hart are among the literary attractions of this especial number. In fashion matter.
