Inventors That Have Become Famous.

 In what might be called domestic aud novelty inventions there is re- quired little study, discipline and cx- pertinent, and most of the so-called ac- cidental inventions have been made in this line. A glance around the house, in the kitchen, at the close and orna- mental and useful novelties scattered on every side will give a faint idea of the wide field opened to the inventor. Every house is small museum of small inventions which have made for tunes to their inventors. The small toys and playthings, games for parlor entertainment, sporting goods and use full pocket goods, all represent the prod ucts of the inventors forethought and happy invention. The simplest and most universally used articles are gen erally the ones that have brought in the most money.-Epoch.

Agency.

Mr.. John r. f. L. Adams. general agent
Of the Merchants Retail Commercial
Agency, has succeeded in securing quite
number of merchants and business men
of our city as subscribers to his protec-
ton and collection system A local
branch of the system has been organized
in Easton, Md with great success. The
Easton Democrat referring 10 the work
ings of the agency says:
This is the only agency that does not
charge commission on the collections,
simply the membership fee of SIS an
nually and the postage. This agency
comes TO our county we'll recommended
and highly endorsed by leading business
men of our State, who have used the sys-
tenn of this agency and have collected
hundreds of dollars, and the protective
features of the system have saved them
many hundreds more They will prom
Use you nothing they win not perform
They give you a system that is far reach
ing. protecting and thorough, and one
that cant fail to benefit you.
Mr. Adams left here this afternoon for
Laurel. Md. where he will be absent for
several days, giving our merchants and
business men who have become subscrib
ers an opportunity, in the meantime, oil
testing the system and its workings
which is certainly most liberal one.

A measure, which has received the ap
proyal of naval officers generally and the
Secretary of the Navy. and one which. It
is said, win greatly benefit the enlisted
force of the service, received favorable
action yesterday By the naval affairs COM
mittee of the Senate and was re-
ported TO that body This measure pro-
poses to amend the existing laws rela
tive to the enlistment. of men so as TO
provide that in future they viii enlist 10
serve for four years .instead of three
years, as at present. This change is
made in order TO save the government
the expense of sending home men whose
three-year's service has expired during a
cruise, as frequently happens, and. who
do not wish To re-enlist. Another change
made by the bill provides that men and
boys who re-enlist for four years within
three months after honorable discharge
may be entitled TO receive full pay dur
ing the time they are out Of the service.
II also allows the enlisted man who has
served thirty years. whether private or
commissioned officer, to be placed on
the retired list with the rank and pay
held by him at the date of his retirement
from the service, and in the discretion of
the President he may also purchase his
discharge upon practically the same con
ditions as now exist in the army. Fur
ther provision permits any alien twenty
one years of age and upward who has en-
| listed to become a citizen of the United
| States without any previous declaration
| of his intention to become naturalized.
