An inventors Secret.

FNDLEY, Ohio, July 18.-Fred J.
Seymour, manager Of the American ALUMNI
mum Works Of this city, died last week
and 1t Is now discovered that the secret Of
the Seymour process of making aluminium
from clay died with Mr.. seymour. At the
factory of the company, where for the last
two years aluminium has been successfully
produced the information is given out that
the patent on the process embraced every
detail except the actual conversion Of the
material used into the finished metal. 1t
was the custom Of Mr.. Seymour to admit
no one in the room where he worked at the
critical moment when the molten mass was
to be divided into its constituent parts. He
is supposed to have treated the liquid mat
ter with some chemical which separated
the precious aluminium from the dross, and
it is this part Of the process that he carried
with him to the grave. The company, by
reason Of this fact, has not as yet deter
mined whether to abandon the works or
continue under some new process.

In Hayu Mr.. Douglass will have the
grandcst opportunity Of his life to
study the question OF the capacity OF
the negro for self-government. The
negroes OF the island have been free
since 1898; from that day to this they

the island, be IL remembered, is es-
teemed TO be republic. Previous to
the year mentioned the blacks were
slaves, and were governed by the strong
arm OF the Caucasian. II we except
the contests Of European powers for
supremacy, there had been no disturb
ance since Columbus discovered the
island In December, 1892. The blacks

A Virginia Bachelors Experience il

ONANcocK, Va, July 20.-Arthur
Coard, . susceptible old bachelor living
near Accomack court house, went to Balti-
more about two weeks ago and surprised
his friends and neighbors by returning on
Thursday last with wife and her mother
They went to Coard's home where, accord
ing to his own confession, he told them he
owned farm worth SIS, 900. Not finding
the farm, the disappointed mother-in-law
took her daughter and returned to Balti-
more by the first steamer that left here af-
ter their arrival. Coard accompanied
them rs far as Onancock on their return
and took . very cold and formal leave Of,
them at the wharf. Coard gives remark
able account of the manner in which he
wooed and won his wife. He says tho
young lady's mother took him to lawyer
in Baltimore who informed him that the
laws of that city required man to be con-
fined in the same house with his betrothed
for eight days before he could marry her.
He was accordingly shut in the house and
never allowed to see his intended or go on the
street except in company of his prospective
mother-in law, who always kept . sharp
eye on him. 1t was during these days of
confinement that he regaled them with
stories of his fabulous wealth in lands and
oyster beds on the eastern shore Of vir-
ginia. AT the end Of the eight hays the
ceremony was performed, but the willy
mother-in-law refused to allow her daugh-
ter 70 leave unless she herself went with
her. She took charge of her on the boat,
occupying the same state room with her,
and forced the groom to 30 below. Coard
says he does not regret what he has done,
and il his wife wants to come back he is
ready to treat her with all due affection.
But he does not propose to cry If she never

On the 10th Governor Cooper Addressed
the following letter to the Attorney Gen.
eral:
Sir;-My attention has been called to the
serious ALLEGATIONS made by the press OF
the State to the effect that certain parties
who have furnished labor and supplies to
the various departments of tho State have
made charges and collected moneys from
the State in excess of the amounts to which
they are justly entitled under the law and
their contracts; also statements have been
made that the prices charged were exces-
sive and unreasonable, and in some in
stances that all the property paid for was
not delivered to t. tse legally authorized to
receive 1t for the State. The constitution
of our State makes it the duty Of the Gov
ernor TO take care that the laws be faith
fully executed" 1t is one Of the essentials
OF good government thnt all officials shall
faithfully observe the letter and spirit of
the law. and the people have a right to ex.
pect and demand that their public servants
shall do everything in their power at all
times 70 protect and promote the welfare
Of the State.
:, If Il it be true, as alleged in the press, that
the money paid by the people of Colorado
for the maintenance Of the State govern
ment has been improperly taken or with
held from the State treasury, desire that
you inform me fully as to my duties in the
premises, and what power, II any, l am
clothed with to right the wrong.
should also be glad to have you inform
me what power or authority you may have
TO correct these abuses, and IL it is your
duty to take the necessary steps to recover
any money or property that may have been
wrongfully obtained from the State and
held by its posscssors unlawfully.
Wrongs and abuses are incidents Of pub
lie Offices, but their evil effects should
always be kept within the .narrowest possi-
bic bounds 1 adjure you to be prompt and
energetic in making such researches and
ant counsel as in your Judgment may be
necessary to advise me fully as to my
duties and powers, that may take such

In these days when 80 much is being
Said in reference to our navy and coast
defenses, it is we'll to notice that there
is growing opinion that the sure defenses
OF any country does not consist in steel
armor placed on feet ships, nor on the
destructive force of our modern pro.
jectiles. It is useless to refer to the i'm.
possibility of protecting our extensive
coast line by adequate defenses against
any foreign foe that might feel aggrieved
at any of our acts as nation, and even
if this were possible or practible the les
son OF the now useless coast defenses OF
European nations as against modern ex.
plosives and projectiles should certainly
be lesson to our country not to follow
in their footsteps This idea OF protect
ing republic by guns and ships is out
OF all harmony with the spirit of the
present time in this country, and in fact
out Of harmony with the better thought
OF many OF the minds which are moulders
Of opinion in the monarchial countries of
Europe. The following clipping from
the Jeffersonville Raindealer gives a'view
of what other minds are thinking OF
modern wars. This taken in connection
with peace conferences should not 60

A largely attended meeting was recent

in useless wars, not including the Indian
mutiny or the Abyssinian expedition.
The meeting was unanimously in favor
OF cutting off such expenditures in the
