Bishop Flayed. Other replies were made to Bishop Manning. Said Dr. Ainslie: "Your policy, my dear bishop, is that of force and the letter; the league's policy is that of fellowship in the bonds of love." Thirteen Episcopal members of the league (two of them clergymen of Bishop Manning's diocese and subject to his ecclesiastical authority) signed a round-robin letter, protesting against the bishop's "usurpation of authority under the guise of interpreting the canon law," attacking his indulgence of high-church canon-law-breakers...
...Thirteen Padlocks. On every drawer of the new Cash Register are U. S. padlocks. Thirteen of the 60 articles in the Statute were drawn wholly or in part to protect the U. S.

The assault to halve the ifz'-per-lb. rate was repulsed by the regular Republicans...
Owens Chronicle. The Owens-Illinois beginnings were ancient, humble. Michael Owens was by trade a blower of glass bottles. He blew, blew, blew, until he grew tired of blowing. In 1889 he stopped blowing, started thinking. Thirteen years of thought produced in 1902 the Owens Bottle Machine, as epochal in glass manufacture as the cotton gin was in the cotton industry. He patented his machine and, in partnership with Edward Drummond Libbey, started making bottles in a one-story frame building in Toledo, Ohio. Since they had patents on the only bottle-making machine in existence, they prospered. The Owens...
