A New Company Will Try this \Va7 of I'utUntc up Cotton. Uai.timoki:, Md., Aujf. 15.—The Man- ufacturer'.s Record of tiiis week pub lishes particulars regarding a new com press for making cylindrical bales, which is being' built in Italtimore to be put in operation first in Arkansas. The company-owning the patent has been organized with chief ollice in Liv erpool and with Mr. William Johnston, owner of the Johnston line of steamers, one of the leading steamship owners of Great Rritaiu, as president. A number of prominent railroad ofll- cers are interested in the company, in cluding one of the vice-presidents of the llaltiinore Sc Ohio, and Senator I Catrden. of West Virginia. This com bination of steamship and railroad olli- cers in a eon.press to turn out cyclin- drical bales instead of s put re hales ns by compresses now in use, is regarded as a very strong factor in changing compressing ‘-vstems ’Two other com- | panics have iiiso lately licen organized to introduce cyiir.iiric.il compresses.

They Will Test the t2 u B*tlon of the Couu- try * FIbb Over School litillflings. Chicago, Aug. 15.—The German Lutherans of the Northern district of Illinois began an important conference today at the town of Schatnburg, in this county. Especial interest attaches to their deliberations because of the general opposition which h is been en gendered among the Lutherans to the school Flag law, passed by the last Loghlature, making the hoisting of the Stars and Stripes over all educational institutions compulsory during certain hours of each school day. The law has already boon denounced by the Luth erans in Milwaukee and judging by the sentiment among the members of the Illinois conference, resolutions will not only be adopted denouncing the law as unconstitutional, and an attempt of the state to interfere with the church, but all Lutheran teachers and ministers will probably refuse to obey the law and work for its repeal, as they did with the deceased Edward’s law.
