NO BLANKS IN THIS COMPETITION.

This is competition of rather an
unusual nature. 1t is common to offer
prizes for the best story, or picture, or
architectural plan, all the competitors
risking the loss Of their labor and the
successful one merely selling his for
the amount of the prize. But the Press
Claims Company's offer is something
entirely different. Each person is
asked merely to help himself, and the
one who helps himself to the best ad-
vantage Is to be rewarded for doing it.
The prize is only stimulus to do
something that would be well worth
doing without it. The architect whose
competitive plan for a club house
ON a certain corner is not accepted has
spent his labor on something of very
little use to him. But the person who
patents simple and useful device in
the Press Claims Company's competi-
ton need not worry if he fail to secure
the prize. He has substantial result
TO show for his work-one that will
command its value in the market at
any time.
The plain man who uses any article
in his daily work ought to know bet
ter how to improve it than the
mechanical expert who studies it only
from the theoretical point of view.
Get rid of the idea that an improve
ment can be too simple to be worth
patenting. The simpler the better. The
person who best succeeds in combining
simplicity aud popularity, will get the
Press Claims C0mpay's twenty-five
hundred dollars.
The. responsibility of this company
may be Judged from the fact that its
stock is neld by about three hundred
of the leading newspapers OF the
United States.

No man, had he the mind of
Solomon, can deliver speech on
the political situation in our coun-
try without saying some word that
a preceding orator has uttered. In
his first inaugural address pres
ident Cleveland spurloined a sen-
tence from Charles Dickens, while
Alex Fl. Stephens, of Georgia, one
of the brainiest men The. South
ever produced, filed his speeches
with the borrowed ideas of other
men. So far as Congressman Tai
bert's address is concerned, it is
rich in beautiful thoughts and
forcible sentences, and every idea
was moulded in the brain of the
orator. This attack from Mr..
Bradham shows that the old Ring
element in our State keenly feels
the force and logic of Col. Tai
bert's great speech in defense OF
his people and their rights, snd
are anxious, to break it. But this
they can never do. When the his
tory of the great fight between the
people and, the money power, and
the Democracy and Wall, is written
the address, Of Hon. WI. Talbert
of South Carolina will find a
prominent place therein.

RICHARD oRokERs INVESTMENTS
He Buys Half Interest In the Belle
Meade Stock Farm

meade Stock Farm.
NEW YORK, March 1.-TWO curious
announcements were made public TO-.
day. One is to the effect that the pool.
room gamblers will raise fund OF
S2'o,OOO to stop the police raids that
have Kept their places closed for the
past few days. and failing that, to re-
peal the Ives law, and thus prevent all
racing in this State. The second is
that Richard Croker, the Tammapy
chief, has paid S250,OOO for half inter.
est in the Belle Meade stock farm, in
Tennessee. If the pool-room men sue.
coed in breaking up racing on the
tracks in this State the Tammany
chiefs Investment would lose much OF
its value.
The stud just bought by Croker was
owned by Gen. w. H. jackson and
comprises the most famous stations in
the country, at it's head being the we'll
known 1roquois, who stood at the head
OF the winning sires in 1892. Beside
him are Luke Blackburn, Great Tom.
enquirer, fremont, Loyalist, Claren-
don and Inspector B. There are 1876
brood mares on the place and Mr..
Croker tried to buy the great race
mare Thora from Charles Reed to add
to the lot, but was unsuccessful, his
offer OF $500 being declined. Under
the terms OF the sale Gen. jackson will
receive salary of $4,000 a year to
manage the stud, and, as Mr.. Croker
does not get an interest in the farm,
Gen. jackson will get $40 q month for
the keep of each mare and SIG month
for each horse. This years colts are
not included in tie purchase.
His purchases last fall were: York
Vile Belle for $4,000, Fairy for slO,-
600. Dobbins for 100000 and Red Banner
900. Besides this he Is partner
with NJ. f. Dwyer in Demuth. IL ia
also known that Mr.. Croker made an
offer of $4,000 for the crack 6lly Helen
Nichols. which WAS declined by the
owner, j. j. McCafferty. He will have
good string to start with, and the pur-
chase OF share in the Belle Meade Stud

He is Charged with Having Killed Walter
Jnmes.


He is Charged with Having Killed Walter
james.
PETERSBURG, Va, March 17.-Wayerly
Smith, young white man, who was
arrested Tuesday night in Petersburg
Oh the charge of having murdered a
negro named Walter james, in Prince
George county, and who was committed
to jail here for safekeeping, was brought
before Judge D. M. Bernard, of the cor.
poration court Of Petersburg, this morn
ing on writ of habeas corpus for his
release. Hon. George s. Bernard, coun.
sci for Smith, asked the court to dis.
charge his client, on the ground that
the warrant upon which Smith was now
hold here charged that Walter James
bad been feloniously or unlawfully
killed by Waverly Smith, and that un-
der paper so defective the prisoner
could not be held for moment.
Mr.. John ]. Cccke, the attorney
for the C commonwealth of the county Of
Prince George, who appeared for the
commonwealth, in opposing the mott IN
to discharge the prisoner contended
that the warrant was sufficient. Judge
bernard held the warrant to he de-
fective and discharged the prisoner.
Immediately upon his discharge
Smith was arrested in the courtroom
upon another warrant, charging him
with lunaey. The prisoners mother
and sister were in the courtroom during
the hearing OF the cases. This after
noon commission of lunacy inquired
into Smiths mental condition. and,
after good deal of testimony, adjudged
him insane and ordered him sent to an
asylum. This case has excited much
interest both in Petersburg and Prince
George county.

RELICS THE NATION OWNS.
How They VIII be Sent to tho Chicago
Worlds Fair for Exhibition.


Worlds Fair for Exhibition.
WASHINGTON, March 17.-One of the
most attractive features of the Govern
ment exhibit at the Worlds Columbian
Exposition in Chicago will be tho contri-
button of the Department Of State.
There Is certainly no other exhibit that
will be shipped to Chicago with SO much
care as will be the collection OF price,
less original documents that the State
Department will contribute.
When the question Of sending the
documents was first discussed there was
some oOje ction made on the ground
that there would be too much risk at
distance and their exhibition at the
fair. 1t was accordingly determined to
take every precaution against accident
OF any kind. For the safety OF the
papers while they are on exhibition
two cases have been constructed by
a manufacturing company, and are
now on exhibition in this city. They
are made OF cold rolled steel and are
ornamented with gold-leaf cornice and
moulding. There are double steel doors
fastened by com bination locks on each
case.
When the cases are in position in the
exhibition one will stand on top Of the
other, so that they will be. together,
nine feet high. They will occupy a
space on the floor four and half feet
square. Inside the steel doors OF the
upper case is an oak frame with double
glass, between which the original copy
OF the Declaration of independence will
be put in such position that it can be
seen whenever the steel doors are open.
This frame will open outward like a
door, and back Of it are number of
shelves where other papers can be
placed when they are not on exhibition.
The lower case will contain q number
of sliding frames in which the papers
will be placed. The frame containing
any paper which it is desired to show
can be drawn out like drawer from q
table.

AGAINST BRIGGS AND SMITH.
The Presbyterian Ministers Are Almost
Unit Against Them


CINCINNATI, March 1.-THE ballot of
the Presbyterian ministers on the
Briggs and Smith heresy cases and on
the doctrine Of biblical inerrancy, in
augurated some time ago by the Cincin-
natl Post, is practically complete. A
few scattering votes from far distant
regions, India, Asia and Africa, will
drop in during the course OF the next
two months. but these cannot change
the results. Professors Briggs and
Smith are overwhelmingly defeated by
majority equal to that in the last
general Presbyterian assembly at Port
land. The1 Bible is also indorsed as a
book practically without error and con
tanning the true messages OF God to
man.
The higher criticism, as explained by
Professor Briggs, Is condemnded as de
structive and as an aid to inldelity.
Blank ballots were sent to every
twelfth Presbyterian minister whose
name was found upon the church roll in
the general assem- bly's minutes for
1892. OF 325 ballots received 229 in
dorse the deliverance OF the general
assembly at Portland on inerrency OF
the scriptures. Against this vote
stand So ballots from ministers who do
not approve Of the deliverance, and are
mostly on the sid ) of Professors Briggs
and Smith. A dozen or more Of the dis
senters declare, however, their faith in
the Bible as an inerrant book, but claim
that the general assembly at Portland
overstepped its rightful powers in en-
forcing the new dogma OF the church.
