COUNTED BY ELECTRICITY.
Machine Does the Work of Eight Men
>n Sorting and Wrapping
Money.
Almost every one, from the Mill
ionaires ot A\ all street down to
the humblest bootblack, has felt
the necessity of making money
quickly and easily, the counting of
it being a matter of secondary im
portance, says the New York Her
ald. However, the coin of the
j realm was produced, whether in
| the form of bright copjier pennies
lor one thousand dollar gold cer
tificates. it would seem like throw
ling the gauntlet down to fate 10
object to counting them. Yet
there are limes and conditions
when men long for a machine ca
pable of counting their money for
them, lienee, the electric motor
*oin counting and wrapping ma
chine.
The object of such a device is ob
viously to facilitate the rapid and
accurate counting and bundling of
coins of all descriptions, from }>en
uies to dollars, since there are
many lines of business which ne<^*s
Titate the employment of a large
statf of clerks whose sole duty
heretofore has been the perform
ance of this laborious task.
The machine counts and wraps
coins at the rate of seven every
second, or 420 coins every minute,
and does this continuously as long
as the motor runs and coins are fed
into the hopper. The coins are
wrapped compactly at the rate of
from eight to twelve bundles per
minute, according to the size of
the coins.
» ai i 10 uun cuuim u
to count and wrap 50 coin* a min
ute manually, il will be seen that
the machine will do at least as
much work as eight men. It is
true that each machine requires
an operator, whose work consists
of a inerc cursory examination of
the coins, to see that there are no
plugged pieces, iron washers and
lead slugs mixed with good mon
py. The speed of the machine is
limited only by the ability of the
operator to detect the spurious
coins. When the machine i« in op
sration the coins are laid upon a
table to facilitate examination,
when they are dropped into a hop
per, whence they slide through a
conduit down into the active mech
anism, where they are pHshed into
a row. When the last coin has
been forced into its place by a re
ciprocating push bar the coins are
automatically transferred from a
buncher to the wrapper while a
new row is being brought into po
sition.
As (he coins reach the wrapper
a roll of paper is fed by three driv
ing rolls placed around the bundle
of coins. Ily a rolling motion the
paper is wrapped around the coins
twice, when it is cut off by a V
shaped knife. The next and fin
ishing process is turning in the
projecting edges of the wrapper,
which is done by means of crimp
ers, drawing the edges in opposite
directions, and finally turning out
a smoothly rolled package held
firmly in place without the use of
paste.
As the inventor facetiously re
marked, the reason a coin count
ing and wrapping machine had
never before been invented was
because inventors never had mon
ey to count. The business of the i
nventor of this particular device j
was to collect, count and bundle
pennies taken in by weighing and
uther slot machines.
DAVIS AND BERRY TO
FIGHT IT OUT ALONE
Will Only be Two Candidates For
Arkansas Senatorship.
Others Decline to Enter the Race and
Davis and Berry Will Begin
Campaign Early.
Advises from Little Rock state
that it is now fully settled that
there will be but two candidates
for United States Senator next
year, to succeed Senator .lames II.
Berry, whose term will expire the
year following. The Senator is a
candidate for re-election, and his i
only opponent will be Governor!
Jefferson Davis, who announced
some time ago that he would op
pose Senator Berry.
Efforts to induce Congressman
S. Brundidge of Searcy and Hon. :
\Y. II. Martinet' Hot Springs to!
enter the contest failed, as both
gentlemen positively decline to be!
I considered as candidates. Mr.
Brundidge says that he would not
run under any circumstances
against Senator Berry, but if the
| Senator should decide not to again
; be a candidate he would most cer
i tainly measure swords with Gov
| ernor I >avis. As Senator Berry
i has positively announced for re
I election, Mr. Brundidge wishes to
| be considered as eliminated from
I the contest.
Gov. Davis has informed a few
of his close friends that he will
begin active canvass shortly after
the adjournment of the next legis
j lature, and it is generally believed
that Senator Berry will do like
wise. The contest will be settled
i in the uniform and general prima
I ries inside the Democratic party,
land the candidate receiving the
I highest number of vote* in the
State will be declared the nominee
I by the next Democratic State Con
vention. Xlus was settled in a
resolution adopted at the State
Convention held at Hot Springs
last .June. Senator Berry and
Governor Davis approved of the
i plan.

HE KNEW MANY NOTABLES
Horace Binney, Old-Time Member of
the Philadelphia Bar, Acquaint
ed with Presidents.
While many persons have
known Lincoln and Grant, and a
few were acquainted with Wash
i ington and Lincoln, so far as I am
aware but one person was ever
born into this world who knew the
triumvirate of uncrowned Amer
icon kingN, declares Oen. James
Grant Wilson, in Cornhill Maga
r.ine. That individual was Horace
Binney. lender of the Philadel
phia bar. and among the foremost
leaders of the profession through
out the land, and with whom l
9j>ent a memorable hour in the
year 1874. During that delightful
interview he stated that when a
youth his home was near Presi
dent Washington’s Philadelphia
residence, and he had met him al
most daily for several years, and
that he frequently held conversa
tionswith the general. Mr. Binney
I also mentioned the interesting
fact that lie had been acquainted
with every president of the United
States up to the time of Grant,
during whose second administra
tion he passed away at the age of
ninety five.
Friendly Comment.

“It's too bad,” rejoined his old
