Il
winter at Valley Forge, and at the battle
of Monmouth commanded the artillery
so admirably that Washington thanked
himin a general order.
Knox was with Washington when he
met the French officers at Hartford, and
was with his chief when the news of Ar
nold's treason arrived Washington APP,
pointed him one of the officers to try
Andre, a duty which must have given
him great pain, as he had known Andre
personally. ~
When Washington moved South to CO.
operate with the French in the capture
of CORVALLIS, Knox rendered distin-
guished service, and Washington bore
testimony that the resources OF his ge-
MUS supplied the deficiencies in means.
In March, 1852, Knox was made a ma
jor general, and later was sent to fortlfy
West Point, by Washington, who, on
that occasion, wrote him letter OF klnd
regard.
Knox soon after this founded the Socl-
ETY. Of the Cincinnati, of which ne was
first secretary, and in 1905 vice president
When the revolution was over, the COM
mand Of the army and its disbandment
were turned over to Knox.
At the memorable parting of Washing
ton and his officers, Knox was the first to
grasp his hand, and Washington, moved
by the memories of their struggles to-
gether, kissed him.
After the war Knox returned to Massa-
chusetts.
DR.. Burrage then referred to the por-
trait of Knox by Stuart, which the Mas
sachusetts Historical Society possesses,
and said he hoped that copy OF it might
be brought to Maine.

we're: w. l.. Shepard of Richmond;
Dinwiddle 81 Webster of Durham; and
Elliott of Charlotte; ]. D. Clark of
Louisville; Thomas c. Harris of Raleigh
Willis e. Hall of Winston; and A. G..
Bauer of Raleigh.
1t was decided by the Board of Lady
Managers to build the monument in the
Capitol Square. A committee of FIVE
mem bers of the association was appoint
mcnt to select design within one week,
and General Robert F. Hoke, State Treas
urer Tate and w. j. Hicks, architect of
the pcnitentiaTy, were requested to give
the committee the benefit of their infor-
nation as to the designs and their cost.
Efforts were made by the Governor. Sec
retary of State Coke, and Others to Sc
cure the adoption Of Nash Square as the
site for the monument. as being more
spacious and better suited.
The designs submitted are very fine.
Some are of shafts, and Others OF arches.

WITNESSES IN ELIAS CASE.
Their Testimony UnfavOrable-
Judge Bonds Place.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-Further names
suggested here for Judge Bonds place
are, Judges Fuller, Clark, McRae and
Representative John S. Henderson. The
latter stands AL with the President.
Mr. Walter E. Moore vas examined in
the Elias case before sub-committeema
Jones. His testimony was unfavorable
to the collector, being conhrmatory of
the written evidence of Merton and
Pierce in the Mansfield transaction. So
licitor Jones was excused today. but
both are still held as witnesses. Accord
ing to one gentleman who has watched
the case and has some information, the
subcommittee will probably report ad-
verscly to Elias and even the full COM
mittee may, but he thinks that he has
gained ground and will be confirmed.
Another enjoying nearly equal oppor-
tunities is satisfied that the testimony
SO far is against Elias and may result in
his sdefeat.-Charlotte Observer.

In sight after long and stormy voyage
and the prospects of a speedy end of the
struggle over repeal has brought bright
hopes to business. A fact of real
|couraGement is that railway earnings
for the third week of October show in
crease OF per cent over last year, the
first increase for n long time. Wheat

AS yet there is seen only a continuance
of he faint and slow increase in distri-
button of products which have been no.
ticed for some weeks. Nor do even these
gradual revivals in demand extend to all
branches. Most of the increase vet seen
in cotton and shoe manufacture may be
explained by mere exhaustion in the
| stock of dealers. but there is also reported
a somewhat better demand for con-
sumcrs and four more cotton mills have
started and seven increased force, against
seven stopping or decreasing.
Against eight comparatively small
wooden mills starting, five have stopped,
including one of 900 and another 900
hands.
The total sales of wool at three chief
markets, including several million pounds

POI .152 pounds in three weeks, against
21 ,975. 900 last year.
Two additional iron furnaces have
gone into blast, and the present output
may be a little larger than at the begin
ming of the month. Some rail mills have
resumed manufacture, apparently to
provide for future rather than present
wants of their customers and there is
some addition to the mum Der of nail and

TARIFF REFORM.
some Petty FsOlxtHClan8 Ou The
wRY8 and Means.

WAsHINGroN, Oct. GA discouraged
member of the majority of the ways and
means committee says he fears there will
be no tariff reform at this Congress. The
difficulties which the committee have
encountered make it almost impossible
to frame bill satisfactory to all parties.
Every person." insists that the inter
ests i'll his district now protected must
continue to receive protection. Take the
sugar men as an example They are in
sisting that the duty shall be restored
on sugar. They don't like the bounty,
but if they can't have the duty restored
they want the bounty. Then there is
the small item of mica. Electricians and
stove men want mica free, yet the dis
tricts where the mica mines are located
are insisting on the duty"
The same member said that the bad
blood that had been shown on the silver
bill i'll both House and Senate would
have tendency to prevent the tariff
bill from going through.

COL. FRANK COKE
what Rutherford COrrcspOnd-
ent saws of Him.

The Rutherford correspondent of the
Shelby Aurora has this to say of Col.
Frank Coke of this city:
Last Thursday was the big day Of
the Rutherford county fair About 1000
people were on the ground, one of the
drawing attractions being Col. Frank
Coxe's address. This we'll known gen
tleman is native of Rutherford and has
long owned and operated n farm on
Green river just over the line in Polk
county. The people every here around
know MIR. Coke as genial man OF
means, an ardent lover of fine stock and
good farming. a banker and a pro-
moter of railroads and improved coun-
try roads, as the builder Of BATTERY Park
hotel; but no one knew him as a public
speaker, as he never catered life OF that
| kind. But Col. Col. Coxe's friends knew
| what was in him, in solid merit and
practical craftsmanship. So 1t was a
happy hit the managers of the Ruther-
ford County fair made in choosing him
to deliver the leading speech at the fair
last week"

those in moderate circumstances by
an invention Of w. w. Grier Of Hall

entific American, ''he calls ingraining
His apparatus consists Of hollow CYL
inder, 10 1-2 feet in circumference, to
which the grain Of a piece Of oak OF
the width Of the cylinder has been
transferred. This grain is covered with
soft cement, which sinks into the de-
pressions, and in these about 200, 1000
bits Of metal like type are set. "A
small, smooth steel cylinder, adjustable
to different heights, is placed above
this. Between the two cylinders, both
revolving, a piece of birch, poplar, bass,
spruce or maple may be passed. 1t
comes out with the grain Of the oak
transferred to it. It is then passed
between two other steel cylinders, one
revolving in a trough containing a u
quid consisting of oil, coloring matter
and another ingredient which is the
inventors secret, used as a filler"
The wood is afterward polished and
vanished and looks like a choice quar-
tered oak. 1t can be sold at 40 per

A machine, recently devised, that does
the most exquisite carving is rapidly
coming into general use. From a pat
tern cut by hand in wood, or from a
plaster cast Of such carving, four ex-
act copies may be cut at time on this
simple apparatus. The machine re-
quires only six feet Of floor space, as
the five tables upon which the work
Is done are arranged one above the
other. The hand-carving or cast rests
upon the middle table. The operator
looks at that, and works one or both Of
the cutter heads above and below him.
These cutter heads have what is called
a hand movement, and holds bits of
various sizes. The carvings may be
made in oak or mahogany as we'll as
soft wood. The pattern in hard maple,
made by an artist, cost $100; the re-
productions on the machine cost 81 .25.
They are improved by having a hand
carver 60 over them with his tool to
smooth them and work up the delicate
details.
One of the most interesting exhibits
Of the electrical building at the worlds
fair is a patent doorway, which opens
automatically as one approaches it, and
closes again after the entrance has been
made. This is accomplished by means
of a mat on either side of the door,
which starts the electrical machinery
as one steps on it.
