THE SLATER LEGEND.
A Secret Revealed to Cotton Manu-
factursr In Dream.

A Secret Revealed to Cotton Manu-
factursr In . Dream.
An interesting centenary will be ccie-
brated next December at Pawtucket Z.
l., where Samuel Slater, on the 21st OF
December, 1900, virtually began cotton
manufacture in this country, although
previous efforts had been made. Slater,
says Harper's Weekly, was pupil Of
Arkwright, and as the English law for
bade the communication of models OF
the cotton-spinning machinery TO other
countries, Slater, trusting to his mem
orv, reconstructed it under contract
with William Almy and Smith Brown.
But for some time he could not recall a
small but essential part of the process.
and the tradition is that in 4 dream ho
returned to England, examined the ma
chinerv. found what he wanted, and
upcn awaking com mpleted his work sue
cessfully.
A recent article in the Evening Post
elludes to this story. But many years
ago Mr.. Slater himself related the cir
cumstances to a gentleman in this coun-
try, who often repeated it in his family,
from whom we have it. Afser long
labor. working secretly, with the aid of
one man only. Slater thought that
be had put the machinery in running or
/ der, and invited few gentlemen inter-
/ ested in the enterprise to see the happy
I result of his toll. Proud and excited,
1 he essayed to start the machine, but 1t
/ did not move In vain he tried, and,
mortified and grieved, no DISMISSED his
+ friends, assuring them, however, that
/ be should certainly discover the din
/ guilty.
But DO was deeply discouraged. AL
the day and night ne pondered and ex
amined and tested and tried to move
the machinery. But still II remained
notionless. At length, heart-giok and
weary, be leaned his head against tho
machine and fell asleep. As he SLEPT
ne heard distinctly a cheerful, friend
ly voice, saying: "Why don't you
.halk the bands, SAM" He started up
broad-awake, and know a. once that Z
slight friction in the working OF the ma
chime was what was wanting, and agar
summoning his friends, he saw in the
smooth action OF the jenny the triumph
ant result % his work. II is a pleassn
story, and the Slater legend is not al
Invention, unless Mr. Slater deCeiveC
himself.

GRAND RAPIDS, Sept. IS, lS9o.-An
article appears on the frs; page Of your
paper this morning. headed They are
Alarmed" That article is false and
misleading. There has been but two
eases OF diphtAeria ia that neighbor-
ood since the two cases which were
reported II the latter part of July. By
reading tie article IN TINS morning 6
ssue. people would naturally think
there was an epidemic OF that disease
IN the houses and blocks IN that sec
ton. There have been two cases; one
recovered, and tho other died. When
the first case was reported ! carded the
house, and the next morning disirlb-
uted warning pamphlets 10 toe nearest
houses. / also gave one OF the teachers
at the school house on MadisOn-ave.
some OF the pamphlets, with a request
TO distribute them among the scholars.
The teacher was also requested 70 cau-
ton the children about going near the
house where the disease existed. The
clothes were washed and hung out "a
dry, which j. all right. Now The facts
are that the board OF health OF Paris
township is vig.lant and careful about
the spread Of any disease. II the cits
Board OF HeSlth would look after ths
back alleys and other sources 81 hltf
as closely as does the board Of Par.

right nor polite. The only practicable
and effective way to help the debtor
class and all of the great body of tax
payers is to throw these quack rene
dies to the dogs; employ the time, la
Dor and zeal wasted in devsing them
to closing up the avenues through
which taxable personal property es-
capes, dragging it from its hiding
places and taxing it. 1t can be done.
Any one of the champions Of these ex-
emption measures will ferret out debt

ton will discover and hold the bulk Of

or less shall be assessed tax of $40,

in excess of $4,000, an additional tax
of So is to be assessed. The levy on
Insurance and guaranty companies is
three per cent of the gross amount of
premiums and assessments on state
business. Life insurance companies
incorporated by the state shall pay in
addition to this tax a certain per cent
of the surplus over the necessary re-
serve. Savings banks are to pay seven
tenths of one per cent on deposits and
accumulations, deducting the average
amount of the assessed valuation of
real estate owned and the amount of
individual deposits in excess of 81 500
each, listed to depositors. The same
provisions are made for taxing trust
companies. The tax on building and
investment companies is at the rate of
one per cent upon the moneys re-
ceived TO be loaned without the state
and bonds, mortgages, chooses in action
and securities of any kind which have

Press Notes.

A COMMITTEE in the Vermont legis-
lature report local option bill. But
the fact that it is a minority report
takes most of the snap out of it.-BoS
tom Record.
CALIFORNIA has the greatest crop of
fruit and the best crop of republicans
of any state in the Union. California
may well be proud and happy Chicago
Inter Ocean.
THE heavy vote by which high
license was defeated in the Vermont
house shows pretty plainly that the
public sentiment of the state is still
heavily against it.-BOSton Journal.
LET any one familiar with the 20
litical world OF Vermont examine the
list of yeas and nays, consider the
connections OF the university aud the
strings it was able to pull, and see
what it all means. If the matter is de-
layed in such a way as to get into poll
tics it will make stampede all over
the state which no man who values his
political life can stand against for a
moment. The farmers have been
cheated, the mass of the people of all
classes are with them, and there is no
manner of doubtas to the end.-Rut-
land Herald.
AS the work of the Vermont legisla-
ture of 1890 draws 10 close, it brgins
to prove decidedly disappointing TO The
people who in the face of the promises
made them, both before and after the
election, had been led to look for more
and larger and better things of the So
called reform legislature of 1890, than
the legislature has appeared capable of
doing. Not only has the legislature
not risen to any lofty heights, it has
failed even to keep in step with the de-
mands of the people and the spirit of
progress, and has thus permitted the
state to retrograde instead of urging it
onward and upward, as it was expected
would be done. - Fair Hdren Era.

The New Corporation Tax Bill.

The provisions of the corporation
tax law are, in nutshell, these:
Railroads are to be taxed at the rate of
seven-tenths of one per cent on the APP
praisal of the property and corporate
franchise in the state, but it is also per-
mitted them to pay as an alternative
two and one-half per cent of the gross
earnings in the state. The tax on
leased roads is to be paid by the lessee,
unless otherwise provided in the lease.
Telephone companies are to pay at the
rate of five per cent on gross receipts
