that tho Strathnevis has gone ashore on

The Board of Managers Of the Ferris In
dustrial School met yesterday afternoon
with the l.evy Court The purpose was 60
petition the commissioners 10 make an ex-
ira appropriation of S25O0 for the school,
Judge Ball and Judge Lore, who were
among those present. made addresses in
favor of Increasing the sum paid to the iu-
stitution
In support OF the application for more
money 1t was stated that the gross ex-
penses of the school was S11 .123 "a and the
gross receipts s6,456.7j. This makes de-
felt Of Si,GG7,09 The yearly appropriation
to the home is $1,000. which decreases the
deficit to So ,167e9. Tho cost of keeping
prisoners in New Castle Jail and al the
Ferris School was compared. The yearly
cost of each prisoner at the jail Is S1G450.
The men do not do any work and usually
go out into the world more hardened than
when they went into the prison At the
Ferris School the cost for each boy is
$iGl12, and of this private constitutions
pay $ssG2. Then each boy is given a good
trade and moral teaching.
In other words hoy in the school will
cost S72.50 The same boy in the county
Jail would cost $l64.50 The Ley Court
men decided to appropriate the money
asked for by The managers. This will
make the appropriation this year amount
10 $1,000.

Experiments in u.rac 20.

A number of the morocco manufacturers
In this city are experimenting with tam
ming processes of their own in order to
avoid the payment of a royalty to the Ten
mage Patent Company. Some time ago 1t
was announced that a decision had been
given in the United States Circuit Court
of Appeals in Philadelphia, which decided
that the company named was entitled to
royalty on the use of patent tanning pro-
cess. 1t was announced at the same time
that mest OF the morocco manufacturers in
this city were using the process
Since that time the Wilmington men
have received notice from the company
owning the patent stating that the process
might be used by the manufacturers here
upon the payment of a license fec OF S25O0
year and royalty of 12Is cents dozen
on all skins tanned This price is so high
that 1t would take all the profit out of the
morocco business, and so the Wllmngton-
ians discontinued the use Of the process
owned by the company aud are using pro-
ccsscs of their own.
The local manufacturers have so far been
fairly successful in their experiments and
believe that their own processes are as
good as that of the Tannage Patent COM
pany.

HARRISBURG, Dec Ex-Governor Hast
ings is indignant at statements made by
several newspapers in the state that he had
rendered the National Guard to the mu-
nicipal authorities of Philadelphia. He
said he did nothing of the kind, nor have
the authorities called upon him, 1t Is
true, he says, that Mayor Warwick has
kept him fully posted as to the situation
from day to day. A leading member of
the administration said that another pub.
lication absolutely without semblance OF
truth is one to the effect that tho legis-
leture Of 1906 passed bill which made 1t
possible for The Union Traction company
to be organized with capital OF $50 0OO,-
900, and that the governor is to blame for
legislation which brought the Union Trac-
tion company into existence and induced
the reign Of terror In Philadelphia.
