CAPTURE OF ARAYAT.
Our Philippine Troops Make Another Forward Move.
SKIRMISH LASTS HALF AN HOUR.
The Enemy Driven From the Town After Setting It On Fire—Only One American Wounded—Gen. Schwan's Forces Returning—Other News From Manila.
MANILA, Oct. 13.—General Young, with two battalions of the Twenty-fourth infantry, nine troops of Fourth cavalry and the scouts of the Thirty-seventh infantry, left Santa Ana at 7 o'clock and occupied Arayat at 9 o'clock after a skirmish lasting half an hour. The enemy, estimated at 300 men, retreated toward Magalan.
The swampy character of the country prevented the use of the cavalry. The men of the Twenty-fourth charged the trenches. The enemy set the town on fire and succeeded in burning a small section. Five dead and three wounded Filipinos were left on the field. The Americans had one man wounded.
General Schwan is now between Perez Marinas and Imus. General Schwan's expedition, having accomplished its object, the troops are all returning to their former positions abandoning the towns taken.
General Schwan is en route from Perez das Marinas to Imus with the infantry, while the artillery and cavalry and all the mule teams are retracing their route from Malabon to Bacoor, with the signal corps removing the wire. General Trias, with the organized bodies of insurgents, retreated to Silang and Indag at the base of the mountain.
The movement of United States troops was a fine display of American generalship and energy, while the Filipinos adopted what General Alejandrino terms "our peculiar method of warfare."
The whole country is an immense swamp and the Filipinos never expected that the Americans could or would attempt to invade it during the wet season. Moreover, the line of march furnished a succession of surprises, the advancing troops being generally attacked from unexpected points.
In Cavite province, the scene of the hottest fights and their greatest successes over the Spaniards, the Filipinos might have been expected to make a resolute stand, if anywhere, but after their whippings at Cavite Virao and Noveleta their tactics consisted chiefly in a continuous exhibition of their agility and their transformation from warriors to amigos.
The marines, while reconnoitering about the scene of Sunday's encounter, find that the trenches have already been reoccupied, although the enemy manifested more than their usual willingness to retreat before the Americans. Armed bands have reappeared along the shore road between Bacoor and Rosario and the troops returning by that route expect another fight at Rosario. At Malabon the Americans corralled two or three hundred natives supposed to be fighting men. A few of them were caught with arms in their hands but large numbers were found in hiding, dressed in khaki like the American uniform. A majority of them were in the garb of amigos, but they were suspected of shooting at the troops from houses, a growing habit, which flourished throughout the advance whenever small parties of Americans strayed from the main body.
The prisoners are a white elephant on the hands of the Americans. The Malabon contingent spent an unhappy night incarcerated in a hut. A native priest and an uncle of General Trias were discovered in the Filipino arsenal outside the town. They are credited with being two of the pillars of the insurrection, but they vigorously proclaim their innocence.
The leading citizens of Rosario are temporarily engaged in rowing a fleet of canoes laden with the American armies impedimenta [sic] to Bacoor.
The prisoners with the exception of those caught red handed will be released, owing to the fact that the insurgents have so many more men than guns that the keeping of prisoners is useless expense.
A leading merchant of Rosario remarked: "They will all be engaged in their old business as soon as released." When asked where the army had gone the merchant replied: "A majority of them are here. They simply hid their guns when they saw a superior force approaching."
The work- of the commissary and quartermasters departments, directed by Captains Biddel and Horton, was remarkable throughout. The transportation of supplies from Rosario to Malabon seemed to be impossible. The wagons had to be repeatedly unloaded and reloaded while being dragged through the mire.
General Schwan is marching back without the teams, all the loads of baggage being shipped from Bacoor by canoes and the wagons going empty.
A telegraph squad under Lieutenant Clark kept the wire abreast of the line to Malabon, but in order to do this, the teams had to be abandoned and the coils of wire carried by coolies.

PAGE TWO—EDITORIALS.
Gen. Funston on the Filipinos.
General Funston with the Twentieth Kansas regiment landed at San Francisco, Tuesday, and immediately proceeded to spike guns which the antis have been firing at the administration and the backs of the troops in Luzon. He has a poor opinion of Aguinaldo. "With him,'' says the brave Kansan, "the campaign is a great confidence game. He is shrewd but not clever."
"The prince of confidence operators" is one form of description Funston uses in reference to the George Washington Aguinaldo of the Atkinsonians. General Funston is of Admiral Dewey's opinion, as to the capacity of the Filipinos for self-government. They haven't the fitness. He says:
The best among them are ignorant. Occasionally I found a smattering of education, but they are absolutely an ignorant race and quite incapable of self-government. It is true that they possess much shrewdness and are cunning, but in reality the chief trait in their character is treachery. It is this which has enabled them to make as good a showing as they have made, but this is no argument, nor can it he made so, that they are capable of governing themselves. Supposing that they were to be left alone, the islands would be a scene of insurrection without any possibility of restoring peace. Only a strong power can take hold of those islands, subdue the various factions and place them on a solid footing.
General Funston is competent to speak of the Luzon natives. He has been with them at close range for months. He rates them in comparison with Americans as fighters as 6 to 1, that is, it takes six Tagals to equal one American. He believes the insurrection will be crushed out soon. "If the winter campaign be properly conducted'' he thinks March will see the Americans "sole masters of the Philippines."
THE WHEELS OF JUSTICE.
How They Turned in Justice's Court To-day.
The wheels of justice in Justice Harrington's court to-day turned at a lively rate. The machinery was set in motion at 9 o'clock when his honor called the case of The People against John Mulligan, who was arrested at McGraw Wednesday by Officer Henry on the charge of intoxication, and who wanted a trial. He had it, and was defended by Lyman. H. Gallagher, no attorney appearing for the prosecution. There were quite a number of witnesses on hand to be sworn in the case and the trial proceeded rather slowly as the evidence had to be written in full. Before the case had proceeded far, the courtroom began to fill up with legal luminaries, officers of the law, witnesses and parties in civil cases and persons under arrest. Among the first to come in were Attorneys W. D. Tuttle and T. H. Dowd who had a matter of adjournment to look after.
Next came attorney A. M. Matthewson, who appeared in behalf of Albert Courtney of Texas Valley who was defendant in an action brought by F. C. Parsons of The Democrat to collect a newspaper subscription. By far the best entertainment of the day was afforded by Mr. Matthewson and Attorney James Dougherty who appeared for the plaintiff. The two attorneys indulged in a considerable number of good natured sallies back and forth over an adjournment, as lawyers sometimes will, first the popgun variety then six-shooters, two-pounders and all the way up to 18-inch shells, all of which highly edified the court as well as the spectators. Nov. 3 was finally fixed upon as the date for the trial.
This little circumstance over with, the Mulligan trial was continued, and at its close he was found guilty and sentenced to five days in jail.
Constable Edwards then appeared with Thomas Galvin of Homer, whom he had arrested on the charge of assault in the second degree on Giles O. Rood of Homer Wednesday night during a neighborhood row in what is known as Cork-st. Giles claims that Galvin pounded him with a stone and threatened to split his head open with an ax. Attorney C. V. Coon appeared for the prosecution, and an adjournment was taken until 2 o'clock to enable the defendant to get counsel.
At 2 o'clock Calvin appeared in court again, accompanied by Attorney W. C. Crombie. He pleaded not guilty and gave bail for his appearance for examination next Tuesday at 10 A. M.
Butler-Truman.
A very pretty home wedding occurred at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ura Truman, 6 Excelsior-st., at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, when their daughter Miss Iva May Truman became the wife of Mr. Charles P. Butler of Cortland. Only a few of the most immediate relatives were present. The ceremony was performed by Rev. W. H. Pound, pastor of the Congregational church. The bride was attired in a becoming traveling gown of brown. The bridesmaid was Miss Frances Backus, and- Mr. Wm. S. Reed acted as best man. Following the ceremony and congratulations, a wedding supper was served. Mr. and Mrs. Butler left on a short wedding trip in the eastern part of the state and upon their return will reside at 6 Excelsior-st.
WALLACE WALLPAPER CO.
A FLOURISHING INDUSTRY EMPLOYING MANY HIGHLY SKILLED MEN.
A Well Equipped Factory—Intricate Machines in Operation—How the Wallpaper is Made—Artistic Patterns in Rich Colors—Orders Coming Daily and Shipments Made in Carload Lots—Everybody Busy.
Within the last few months in the general revival of business interests in Cortland there came into being a new company organized almost exclusively among Cortland's business men which gave promise of taking front rank among the large manufacturing concerns of the place. Years ago Cortland established a more than national reputation for its wagons. A little later it became known as one of the head centers of the country for the production of wire. Now it seems likely that its name will soon be before the whole people as the site of the factory whose product is the most highly artistic wallpaper placed upon the American market.
The great brick factory formerly owned by the Hitchcock Mfg. Co. has not changed very materially so far as its outside walls are concerned since it came into the possession of the Wallace Wallpaper Co., but in its interior there is little to suggest that it was ever used for the manufacture of wagons and there is little to be seen within its doors that could be recognized by the one who was there most steadily and constantly under the former ownership. The public has understood that a change was going on there, has heard that carloads of machinery had arrived in town and had disappeared within the walls of this great building, and has inferred from the crowds of men and boys and some women who are constantly seen going in and out of its doors at the blowing of the whistles that the manufacture of wallpaper had been begun, but as to just what that meant or as to what is done within those walls it has known little. From the very nature of the case this must be so. The processes are so delicate, the machinery so intricate, the work of such a character that it would be utterly impossible to admit spectators indiscriminately or to any extent.
With this thought in mind some of the officers of the company very kindly tendered an invitation to a STANDARD man to call at the factory and make an inspection of the plant with the idea of giving its readers some idea of the work done there and the process of manufacture, hoping that this report would be in a measure satisfactory to the people in general, whose kindly interest in its welfare it thoroughly appreciates. This invitation was gladly accepted. The visit was made yesterday and for two hours and a half one of the officers of the company most courteously devoted himself exclusively to the STANDARD'S representative, showing the process of manufacture from the beginning and following it through with careful explanations till the finished product was ready to be taken on board the freight cars waiting at the doors and shipped in carload lots.
THE FACTORY BUILDING.
The factory itself is most advantageously situated. It has its front end upon Elm-st. and extends from the street 425 feet north along the east side of the D., L. & W. R. R. tracks. Its width is 54 feet and it has four floors above an unusually high and well lighted basement. The basement throughout is floored with cement, laid off in blocks of the same character as the finest of the new and popular sidewalks in town. Two rows of brick piers 2 by 4 feet in size and placed at intervals of about 20 feet run the whole length of the building to give additional support and solidity to the ponderous machinery above, and the whole building itself is heavily timbered.
Two elevators run from the basement to the top floor. Both are put in by the Houser Elevator Co. of Syracuse. The one at the north end of the building is exclusively for freight, and is operated from the line shafting. The other at the south end is for both passengers and freight, and is operated by electricity.
The building is fitted with the most approved system of fire sprinklers connected with the city water mains, with an electric lighting plant, the power for which is generated in its own engineroom, and with gas for lighting purposes. The sprinkling system is divided into three sections designated as north, middle and south, corresponding to the three sections of the building as divided by brick fire walls, which extend up to the third floor. Any one of the three sections of the sprinkling system can be operated or controlled independently of the others. Steam heat is used throughout the building.
The offices of the company which have been completely rebuilt and refitted occupy the entire south end of the building on the first floor and the only entrance to the factory is though the offices and the vestibule leading to them. This is to prevent strangers from slipping in and wandering about at will.
THE BASEMENT A STORE ROOM.
A tour of the factory to observe the process of manufacture in its natural order logically begins with the basement. This is in large measure a storeroom. It must be remembered that a wallpaper factory is in reality a wallpaper printing establishment. The paper itself is made from wood pulp and is manufactured at the paper mills. It is purchased in rolls weighing from 200 to 240 pounds each, the paper itself being in strips 19 1/2 inches wide, the width of a piece of wallpaper. Four different qualities [of] weights are used in this factory, known technically as 9, 10, 12 and 14 ounce stock. These large rolls of paper are stored in the basement awaiting use. In another section of the basement is stored the huge casks containing the coloring matter which is not ink, but which is used in the printing of the wallpaper. This is made in New York, and the casks contain from 550 to 1,500 pounds each. In a third section of the basement is stored the sacks and barrels of clay which forms the body of the coloring matter used in the printing. The sacks contain about 250 pounds each. This is a peculiar kind of clay and comes from North Carolina and New Jersey. It is as fine and as soft as the finest flour, and comes in three shades distinguished as light, medium and dark.
Near the north end of the basement is the coal dump on the west side of the building. The D., L. & W. R. R. has laid a new switch close up to the building for shipping purposes and at the north end of the switch enclosed within a fence is a private coal dump for this factory. It has a capacity of from 350 to 400 tons of coal and a small car is at hand which easily and handily transports it across the building to the enginehouse recently constructed at the northeast corner of the factory.
THE ENGINEROOM.
Within the engine house are the two 100-horse power boilers made at the Pennsylvania Boiler works at Erie, Pa., and the 160-horse power engine made by the Straightline Engine Co. of Syracuse. In the boiler room there is a splendid well from which water of a superior quality and almost ice cold is pumped. This water is used to supply the boilers and also for much of the washing purposes on the upper floors.
Connected with the engine and using only its waste power [is] a dynamo made by the Onondaga Dynamo Co. of Syracuse which is of 1,000 candle power and runs a 50-horse power generator. This dynamo generates the electricity for all the lighting of the building and for transmitting some of the power.
THE CLAY GRINDERS.
Passing now to the first floor at the north end of the building is found the beginning of the real process of wallpaper making in two huge pulp mills or clay grinders, where the clay is prepared for using it as a ground color for the wallpaper. These mills are cylindrical, like great hogsheads and have a capacity of 250 gallons each, and in them the clay is wet up, or mixed with the right proportion of water, of liquid glue and of some other substances. In the center of one of these mills a series of arms project one above another from a vertical shaft which revolves, passing the arms between stationary arms projecting from the inner surface of the mill and thoroughly mixing the clay till it is of about the consistency of whipped cream and of much the same color.
The middle and south sections of this floor are used for shipping purposes and for samples of the borders of papers in stock, the samples for side walls and ceilings being on the floor above in the south section. On both floors the samples are placed in racks arranged alphabetically and numerically. The south section of the second floor is also used for the manufacture of sample books for dealers and jobbers, over a thousand of which have been required.
PREPARING THE ROLLS.
There Is a small room built off from this section on the second floor, the one door of which bears the sign in large and distinct letters, "Positively No Admittance." To this sign the STANDARD man's escort called attention, but said "But I guess we will go in just the same.'' This is really about the most interesting spot in the whole factory. Here it is that the blocks are made on which the designs are drawn and brassed [sic] for printing the paper. A design is first submitted by some designer. It is drawn by hand and colored by brush just as it will appear in the manufactured paper. The manufacturers pass upon it and if it appeals to them as a good seller and is accepted it is taken to this room on the second floor where the most skillful men in the whole [company] are at work. The printing upon wallpaper is made from raised brass work upon wooden rolls or blocks. The blocks are cylinders of maple most perfectly rounded and polished. They are 19 1/2 inches long, the width of a roll of wallpaper, arranged to revolve upon a steel shaft which passes through them from end to end when in operation. Upon the outer surface of this cylinder the arrangements are made for printing the design. The circumference of the block must exactly correspond with the height of a pattern upon the paper, or with some multiple of that pattern. Hence, as patterns differ in size, so the blocks are larger or smaller as the case may be.
When one of these blocks is perfected and polished for use it is first whitened. Then the designer draws upon it the pattern exactly as it will appear on the paper, except that on this block it is all in black and white and not in colors. This block and its design must be duplicated as many times as there are to be different colors on the wallpaper. Most of the papers made at this factory have either six or eight colors. Consequently each design calls for either six or eight blocks, as the case may be. Then upon the surface of each separate block must be fixed brass raised work which shall correspond to the exact color called for and which when the paper is passed over that particular block shall print just that one color intended, put it in exactly the right place and in no other place. These pieces of brass have all to be mortised into the surface of these blocks, following the curves and changes of the pattern. Felt is packed in between the brass outlines when solid color is called for. This requires the most superlative accuracy. There must be no variation, not of a hair or the design is ruined. When these brasses are all set in the surface of the block they are filed and worked over with an emery wheel and pumice stone to make them all of the same height above the surface of the block so that they will print evenly. As the paper in printing is passed over each of these blocks each block adds a color, so that when it has passed over them all, one for each color in the design, the pattern is then completed.
Three men are at present at work in this room. As the patterns for this season are now completed, the sample books issued and orders coming in, and being filled, their work is now of course upon new design for next year.
THE EMBOSSING MACHINE.
In another part of this section of the second floor are the two embossing machines with the dynamo which runs them. These machines emboss the paper after it is printed in certain styles where embossed paper is desirable. A steel roller bears upon its surface in raised work the design of the embossing. This revolves upon a wooden roller, the paper passing between the two and having the pattern stamped into it by pressure. The pattern must be first stamped into the wooden roller, which is of maple, and the preparation of this wooden roller is made here at the factory. A roller having its surface perfectly smooth has boiling water constantly poured over it for three days during which time the steel roller and the wooden roller are being turned together with constantly increasing pressure. By that time the pattern has become transmitted from the steel roller to the wooden one, so that when the paper is passed between them the embossing is complete and the pattern very distinct.
THE GROUND COLOR.
All the preliminary preparations for printing having been seen, the last feature of the work is the printing process itself. This is done in the north section of the second floor and in the whole third floor. In these portions of the factory the temperature is constantly up to from 110 to 115 degrees with every window closed so that the paper will dry rapidly. The ground color or background to the pattern is put on upon the second floor, but it is a continuous line of paper constantly in motion from the time it goes through the first machine to receive the ground color on the second floor till it is all completed and dried after having passed through the final printing machine on the third floor and is ready for rolling and bundling.
At the extreme north end of the second floor are the vats for color mixing for the ground colors. The clay body is brought up from the grinding machines below and the colors put in. The color mixers are among the most highly skilled operatives in the establishment, as the shades must be exact. Six [grinding] machines standing side by side occupy almost the entire width of the building. All are doing precisely the same work, though the colors used are liable to differ in them all.
The continuous roll of paper is passed through the color mixture which is applied and rubbed in with six oscillating and two cylindrical brushes operated at varying speeds. The damp paper passes back from the machine and is caught up upon a wooden rod attached to a link in an endless chain which is ascending an incline. This has the effect of dropping the paper in festoons or loops about 6 feet high. This rod supporting a single festoon is slipped off upon some parallel bars about 150 feet long and the paper is started toward the south end of the building. Coils of steam pipes on either side of each of the six lines of paper and the temperature of 115 degrees have an exceedingly drying effect up it. Three sections of endless chain running at three different speeds carry the paper toward the other end of the parallel bars. Fresh from the machine it moves pretty rapidly, 50 feet further down it goes slower and 50 feet further down still slower. The result is that the festoons hang very close together at the far end of the room. About 190 festoons are hanging at the same time during the 150 feet traversed. Arrived at the other end of the room the paper is perfectly dry, and the ground color well set.
PRINTING THE DESIGN ITSELF.
The paper still in continuous line then goes through an opening in the floor to the floor above where it finds itself upon a carpet carrier, all the barn upon which it was festooned having been dropped automatically as it passed from the second to the third floor. The carpet carrier is an apparatus upon which the paper is supported, clinging to it by friction and the inertia of its own motion. The carpet is itself an endless band about twenty-two inches wide drawn by an endless chain which runs rapidly on the time of the first chain adjoining the grounding machine below. This carrier draws the line of paper clear back to the north end of the building where it goes through the final printing press which is stationed just above the press on the floor below where the ground color was applied. This press puts on the complete pattern. The six or eight wooden blocks representing the different colors for a complete pattern are all fixed in position in this press and the paper is drawn over them one after another, being pressed down with an opposing roller, and is then started a second time toward the south end of the building upon parallel bars operated by endless chains in exactly the same style as before on the floor below. This time instead of stopping to return 150 feet down the line as on the floor below it goes two-thirds of the way down the building, moving slower and slower as it dries. It takes just about an hour from the time a particular piece of paper has gone into the grounding press on the second floor till it has been dried and gone through the printing press on the third floor and has been completely dried again. The temperature on this floor is up to the same high mark as on the floor below.
A very interesting machine in the grounding room on the second floor is the blender, the purpose of which is to shade the color of the border off from dark at its lower edge to light at the upper side. This is accomplished by eight oscillating brushes.
ROLLING THE PAPER.
Next comes the rolling process which is done by women and girls. After the paper is the second time dried, still in a continuous line it suddenly comes under the influence of a more speedy endless chain and it shoots down a sort of trough at the end of which sits a young woman. While the paper was going through the last printing machine a measuring machine was arranged to get a dark mark upon the edge of the roll every sixteen yards, which is exactly the length of a double roll of paper. This mark is on the part of the paper which is removed when it is hung. The young woman who is rolling the paper watches for the coming of that mark. As it approaches there is a quick move of her right knee against a lever, which stops the machine, but even before the motion has ceased the operator has dropped a broad knife hanging on a swivel and has cut the paper off right on the mark. There is a quick motion, the roll is pulled off its rolling spindle and tossed to an assistant who tightens it and puts it in a rack, and before this time the cutter has started another roll. It takes a quick eye and a careful hand to catch sight of that mark as it approaches along the shute at almost railroad speed and to drop the knife at exactly the right place before the machine is fairly stopped. And yet one of these operators was timed by the watch as taking off six complete rolls in a minute.
Fifty rolls or rather twenty-five double rolls in a bundle a man ties up and covers carefully with wrapping paper. A little sample of the paper itself is pasted on the outside together with the letter and number of the paper as indicated in the sample book and then the bundles ready for shipment are sent down an inclined shute to the shipping room on the first floor. The company is now turning out about 25,000 rolls of paper per day and making daily shipments of carload lots, placing from 650 to 700 bundles of twenty-five double rolls each in a car. A single order received yesterday was for 426,000 rolls, and other orders of a similar size are not uncommon.
THE DESIGNS AND COMBINATIONS.
The Wallace Wallpaper Co, is this year producing forty-two different designs of wallpaper, but each design will average at least six different combinations of colors. For each pattern and design there is separate work in preparing side walls, ceiling and border. These are all shown in the sample books with which, not only each one of the six traveling men now on the road, but all the jobbers, and dealers, over a thousand in all, must be supplied. These sample books represent the artistic and finished product of all that makes the factory so busy and so complex. Each pattern is put in a separate book, but with the combinations of colors which vary so unceasingly in each pattern the beholder seems almost overwhelmed at the different varieties of paper produced. All grades are kept in stock, the simplest to the most sumptuous which the market can call for. The designs themselves bear the mark of a master taste and the colors are rich and harmonious to a rare degree. With thoroughly artistic goods which experience proves have fine selling properties the Wallace Wallpaper company is a most marked success, not only in little Cortland where it is employing many men and boys, but in the markets of the world where it is turning out a product that is meeting with a steadily increasing demand, by reason of the rare taste displayed in the choice of patterns, in the selection and preparation of colors for the combinations, and of the high class of paper in general produced.
THE COMPANY ITSELF.
The Wallace Wallpaper company was organized last March with a paid up capital of $100,000. The present list of stockholders is D. P. Wallace, J. H. Wallace, Charles II. Mason, Otis C. Smith, Charles M. Clinton, David W. Van Hoesen, Theodore H. Wickwire, O. U. Kellogg, Lester Cooper and George F. Cooper. The officers are:
President—D. F. Wallace.
Vice-President—Charles H. Mason.
Treasurer—J. Hub Wallace.
Secretary—George E. Coy.
The work of getting out the samples was begun in June, and there has been no cessation since, as orders begin to come in rapidly at once and there was a rush to fill them.
The fourth floor of the building is not yet occupied by the wallpaper company, as by the terms of the purchase of the building from Keator, Wells & Co., this floor was reserved by the latter for a year to be used as a storeroom, but it is expected that another season this floor will be filled with machinery and the output of the factory can be increased as the demand for its goods would seem to require.
