In Memoriam.

After lingering illness of fifteen
weeks, quietly passed away, on the
night of July 3, 1898, Albert Teenie,
beloved daughter of John ID. and
Matte Garreth.
ale doeth all things for the
best" Yet, words of sympathy
and consolation fall with but a
hollow and hooking sound, in the
face of bereavement, which snatch
es from the home circle its chiefest
and dearest object. Death, come
in what form it may, brings woe
and desolation to those left be-
hind; but when the Unsuitable
reaper selects for his own one just
budding into the fruitiOn of glori-
Gus womanhoOd, endowed with all
the charms of maidenly grace and
innocence, the shock wounds with
a cruel torture and leave behind
scars which even the healing hand
of time cannot etface.
Deceased was born on the 2jth of
August, 1874, and died in her nine
teenth year. The idol Of her pa
rents hearts, the joy of their
hearth-stOnes, they had watched
with parental pride the growth
and development of those lovely
traits of head and heart which dis
tinguished and made her beloved
by all who knew her. OF loving
and sympathetic nature; with
heart always responsive to the APP
peals of the suffering and dis
tressed; with a filial affection as
bOundless and unseltish as ever
throbbed in mortal's bosom, her
presence will be sOrrOwfully
missed, but her gentle spirit will
remain, to be cherished and treas
ured as among memory's dearest
recOllections.
Throughout her long and pain
full illness, never murmur was
uttered never a complaint escaped
but with the fOrtitude of a Chris
tian and the courage of martyr
she uncomplainingly bore her suf-
ferings and carried her cross.
In the "great beyond",where sor-
row and suffering are unknown,
may her stricken parents meet and
be reunited fOrevermore with their
loved one, is the wish of
A FRIEND.

NO BLANKS IN THIS COMPETITION.

This is a competition of rather an unusual
nature. II is common to offer prizes for tie
best story, or picture, or architectural plan,
all the cou petitOrs risking the loss of their
labor and the sue essful one merely sell ny
his for the amount of the prize. But the
Press Claims Compauy's offer is something
entirely different, Each person is asked
merely TO help himself, and the one who
helps himself to thu best advantage is to be
rewa cded for dom il. The prize is only q
stimulus to do something that would he
well worth doing without il. The architect
whose competitive plan for a club house on a
certain corner is not accepted has not spent
his labor on something OF very little use 10
him. But the person who patent q simple and
useful dSvice in the Press Claims COmpany's
competition, need not worry If he fail to Se-
cure the prize. He mas q substantia result TO
show for his work-one tn lat Will command its
value in the market at any time
The plain man who uses any article in his
daily work ought to know better how to I'M
prove it than the mechanical expert VINO
studies II only from the theoretical point OF
view. Get rid of tn idea that an improve
ment can be too simple to be worth patentiug.
The simpler the better. The person who best
succeeds in combining simplicity and pOpu-
lartty, will get the Press Claims COmpany's
twenty Ave hundred dollars.
The responsibility of this company may be
judged from the fact that its stock is held by
about three hundred of the leading news
papers of the United States.

NOT so HARD As IT SEEMS.

A patent strikes most people as an appall
ingly formidable thing. The idea is that an
inventor must be natural genius. like Edi
son or BE |; that he must devote years to
deiving in complicated mechanical problems
and that he must spent fortune on delicate
experiments before he can get new device to
patentabie degree of perfection This delu-
sion the company desires to dispel. 1t desires
TO get into the head Of the public clear COM
prehension ofthe fact that it is not the great,
complex, and expensive inventions that bring
the best returns to their authors, out the lit
tie, simple, and cheap ones-the things that
seem so absurdly trivial that the average citi-
zen would feel somewhat ashamed of bringing
them to the attention of the Patent Office.
Edison says that the profits he has received
from the patents on all his marvellous inven-
tons have not been sufficient to pay the cost
OF his experiments. But the man who con-
ceived the idea of fastning a bit of rubber
cord to child's ball, so that it would come
back 10 the hand when thrown, made fortune
out of his scheme. The modern sewing-ma-
chine is a miracle of ngenuity-the product of
the toll of hundreds OF busy brains through
hundred aud fifty years. but the whole bril-
liant result rests upon the simple device of
putting the eye of the needle at the point in
stead of at tho Othar and

Tho Little Things The Most Valuable.

Comparatively few people regard them
sci as inventors, but almost everybody
has been struck, at one time or another,
wi tn ideas that seemed calculated to reduce
some of thellittle frictions of life. Usually
such ideas are dismissed without further
thought.
why don't the railroad company make its
car windows so that they can be slid up and
down without b. eaking the passengers
backsT' exclsims the traveller. "If l were
running the road would make them in such

what was the man that made this sauce
pan IN mixing OFF" grumbles the cook. "He
never Id TO work over stove or he would

Hang such collar button!" growls the
man who is late for breakfast. "If | were in
the business I'd make buttons that wouldn't
slip out, or break off, or gouge out the back
of my neck"
And then the various suffere s forgot about
Their grievar es and begin to think of some
thing elsa. If tley would sit down at the
next convenient opportunity, put their ideas
about car windows, saucepans, and collar
buttons into practical shape, aud then apply
for patents, they might find themselves as IN
deDendently wealthy as tie man who invent

ABOUT GARBAGE FURNACES
One May Be Sufficient to cremate
the City's Filth.

Gne SlGy FllCn.
Mayor Paschal informed a LIGHT
reporter this morning that the gar
bage furnace on the east side of the
city, located on the Goliad road,
about three-quarters of a mile north
from East Commerce street, has
been completed, and fire will be
placed in the furnace this after
noon to dry the material used
in placing the joints. The
trial test will be made next week,
and it is thought that the furnace
will be cremating regularly in a
few days. Mayor Paschal is of the
opinion that one furnace can Gre
mate all the garbage of the city.
Whether it is cheaper to have two
furnaces, one in the eastern and
the other in the western portion Of
the city, or to haul the garbage
from all parts of the city to the
furnace in the eastern part, is a
question which can only be decided
by a test. 1t may cost more to
haul the garbage from the extreme
western parts to the GOliad road
furnace, than it will to run the
two furnaces. Nothing definite
can be said on the matter till the
test is made.
