Drowned in the Surf.

ATLANTIC CITY, n. j., Scot. &C.
p. Patterson. of No. 372 Locust street,
Philadelphia, was drowned at the foot
of Massachusetts avenue in this city
last evening. He had gone out bathing
at 1870 o. M, and when near the iron
pier was seen to throw up his hands and
sink. Two men who were near by put
out in boat but he went out of sight
before they reached him. He was after
wards recovered with a boat-hook, and
heroic efforts were made to resuscitate
him but without avail. His relatives in
Philadelphia were notified immedi-

LYING EXTRAORDINARY.
n Habit Calculated to InJure the Morals
of the Nation.


Is lying National vice of such pleas
ant mlen that it merits Government pro-
lection? This question is suggested by
the deliberate Justification Of Repre-
sentative kennedy's speech, which has
been done under authority of the lower
House of Congress The Congressional
Record purports to be a verbatim re-
port of the proceedings of Congress;
and, IN order that it may be accurate,
efficient stenographers are employed at
big salaries to take down every word
that is uttered during the delibera lions
of that body.
And yet the speech which is pub
lished in the Congressional Record is
not the speech which Mr.. Kennedy de-
l1vered on the floor of Congress, nor is
1t the speech which the shorthand re-
porters took down. Mr.. ke1nedy's
speech consisted mainly in an arraign-
ment of Senatorial courtesy" under
which he claimed all sorts of corruption
we're cloaked. And yet he now seeks
refuge under a so-called courtesy of
the House, which permits him to pub
lish bare-faced lie in giving to the
world speech he never delivered.
There isn't hairbreadth's difference
between the evils resulting from Sena-
torial courtesy and the lower House
courtesy. The former cloaks corrup
ton: the latter is refuge for lies. 1t
is about time that both were abolished
and that all Congressional proceedings
were conducted on a square plan.
If a Der of Congress gets up on
the floor of either house and makes an
ass of himself the fact ought to appear
on the record The printed Congress-
ional record is intended for the use of
the public, and not for the exclusive
privilege of the Congressman. The
very knowledge that his remarks were
to be reported and printed verbatim
would be an incentive to a Congress-
man to behave himself. As it is. he can
indulge in all sorts of wild speeches on
the floor and then go to the public
printers office with an afterthought
speech and have the Congressional rec
ord make him say very decorous things.
The example set by those high in au
thority always has bad effect on the
masses. If a Congressman is permitted
to lie under Government patronage the
body of the people are in danger of be-
ing infected with the idea that lying
is respectable. For these very good
reasons we insist that Congress shall
return to the early virtues of the Re-
public and require all of its proceedings
to be accurately and truthfully printed.

BINGHAMroN, n. T., Sept. 25.-At
yesterdays school election here over
500 women cast their ballots, the largest
vote of women ever polled. Active
electioneering was INDUCED in by many

many women as men voted. The good
order at the polls was generally COM

did the year before, or because he puts
the money he has saved into his business
and thereby increases his capital, then
that money is his because he made it.
But if he does save his money from year
to year to build a house with it, then the
tax collector takes away from him part
of what he has saved by his individual
work, but if by reason of the fact that
the city has grown around him he can
make more money each year then he is
allowed to pocket that which should go
in taxes. The single tax will give to
each man what he earns and will pay
the public debts out OF tho value that
the people create.-M. III. Mcdowell, in

Recent Inventions and improvements OF
General Interest.
A plan has been devised by which
single sewing machine in private
house can be operated by electricity
without trouble, danger or great ex-
pense.
The daily mileage made in cities of
the United States by cars supplied with
electric motors is now more than one
hundred thousand miles, and is grow
ing rapidly.
In the London General post-office
there are 22O electrical Giro tits fed by
twenty-nine accumulators, which are
charged once a month by the electric
light dynamos. 1t is stated that never
before has the system of using accumu-
lators been tested on SO large scale.
There is coal mine at ST. Andre du
Poirier, France, worked with two shafts
OF depth of 1859 feet and 3,OS3 feet.
The latter is to be increased to 4, 900
feet. Contrary to theory, little increase
of temperature has been met with as
the shafts went farther into the earth
The rolling of cold steel-wire is now
accomplished with ease, and, instead of
the wire becoming weakened by the
process, practical tests have demon
strated that its tensile strength is nearly
doubled. In other words, the tensile
strength of hot-drawn steel-wire is 49,
AGO pounds to the square inch, while
that of cold-rolled steel wire is los, 500
pounds.
Inventors are trying to adapt naphtha
engines, which have proved so success
full in launches, to locomotives for pro-
polling street cars. One such motor has
been run experimentally for six months
at Elizabeth, n. j., and is said to have
developed abundant power, although
there were mechanical defects which it
was necessary to overcome. A speed of
twelve miles an hour was attained The
motor has now reached such a stage
that it is to be tried in actual service in
st. Louis. The cost of operating one of
these motors for day of fourteen
hours, running distance of ninety
miles, is placed at lao; the cost of OBJ
Grating street-cars with horses ranges

1t is said that the process Of dying

Instead of growing new varieties of
roses, which is process of years, they
simply grow ordinary white roses and
dip them in chemical solution which
