The first typewriter was received ; by the public with suspicion. A re- j porter who took one into a court room first proved its real worth. ! In England some centuries ago if an ordinary workman without per- 1 mission moved from one parish to another in search of work or better ! wages he was branded with a hot iron. When Benjamin Franklin first thought of starting a newspaper in Philadelphia many of his friends advised against it, because there was a paper published at Boston. One hundred years ago the fastest land travel in the world was on the Great Northern road of England. ; There the York mail coach tore i along at the rate of ninety miles a j day, and many persons confidently J predicted divine vengeance on such : unseerply haste. When Thomas Jefferson was elected Presiderit of the United States on February 17, 1801, the gratifying news did not reach the successful : candidate for as many days as it now takes hours to transmit the result of a presidential election to the entire civilized world. When, in 1809, Richard Trevithick ' uttered the following words there were many who considered him an insane, dangerous person: "The present generation will use canals, the , next will prefer railroads with horses, but their more enlightened j successors will employ steam carI riaces on railroads as the Dprfeetion of the. art of conveyance." When Benjamin Franklin first took the coach from Philadelphia to NewYork he spent four days on the journey. He tells us that as the older driver jogged along he spent his time knitting stockings. Two stage coaches and eight horses sufficed for all the commerce that was carried on between New York and Boston, and in winter the journey occupied a week. When the first two tons of anthracite coal were brought into Philadelphia, in 1803, the good people of that city, so the records state, "tried to bum the stuff, but at length, disgusted, they broke it up and made a walk of it." Fourteen years later Colonel George Shoemaker sold eight or ten wagonloads of it in the same city, but warrants were soon issued for his arrest for taking money under false pretenses. o? D. C. Hey ward, Collector of Internal Revenue, is desirous of calling the attention of the corporations of this district to the fact that he has about ten deputy collectors in the field at present for the purpose of giving information on any point deAIMA.I Uf ? M'U/* *1*1 l l AO Mini u\ riM iHMaiiuu^) ?iiu \*ni a.^sist them in making out their income tax returns, all of which must be filed with this office by May 1st. These collectors have a certain number of counties assigned to them and, through the courtesy of the newspapers, will state, they are endeavoring to give notice as to their whereabouts at certain times. The Collector hopes, as he may be compelled at any time to withdraw these deputy collectors from the field, that those who may desire information | will not put off obtaining same until the last moment, but will seek out ' deputies assigned to their counties as early as possible. If all corporations postponed conferring with deputies until the last moment, it would be impossible for them to be given the information desired.
