Synopsis: " 'The Enchanted Typewriter' is a machine, and not a woman. It is of antiquated make, andits owner finds it turning out copy on its own account, with no visible manipulation. Investigation shows that it is being used by Boswell and Xanthippe, who are the editors of a Sunday newspaper in Hades." -- Chicago Tribune 1899-07-04 p8 Review Chi Trib 1899-11-04 p10 (negative) suggests that much content concerns golf in Hades, along with the trials of editor Boswell "By means of the typewriter, the troubles of Boswell and Xanthippe over the ''Stygian Gazette'' get a very thorough and amusing airing." -- LA Times 1899-11-26 p18
