FRkDERICh .. siCKLEs DEAD.
A Former Wiimingtonian, Inventor OF
the Corliss Engine, Surcumbs to Heart
Disease i'll Kansas City.

A Former Wi!mIngtonian, Inventor OF
the Corliss Engine, Surcumbs to Heart
Disease i'll Kansas city.
Frederick i. Sickles, inventor Of the
famous Corliss engine, died in Kansas
City on Friday last. Death was due to
heart trouble. He was born in Camden,
N. j., i'll 1919.
The deceased was well known in
Wilmington for many years prior to the
Civil War. His first automatic trip
steam cutoff was made and applied to
steamboats, in service by the Harlan "
IIollingsworth Go. of this city. He was
nachinist by trade, havlng served his
apprenticeship at the Novelty iron
works of New York.
Mr.. Sic5les came to Wilmington in
1851, three years after the invention of
the cut-olf. Steamboat men Of New
York were at that time interested in
what was known as the Stevens cutoff.
Baltimore steamboat men were in the
same relation with SiclSles. His inven-
ton was half-stroke cutoff, which was
applied to the old steamboats, Georgia
and Constitution. These boats then
formed the connection between French
town and Baltimore.
Tho next step In the progress OF ms
| invention was making the whole cutoff.
| This was done at the Harlan & Hullings-
worth Co. S shops. 1t was first applied
to the Chesapeake steamer Planter. The
steamer Whilden, one of the first iron
side-wheelers built in this country, was
tho next to use ii. The third steamboat
to be equipped with the Sickles cutoff
was the Pioneer, which ran between
this city and Philadelphia, alternating
with the Whilden.
While in this city Mr.. Sickles also
| invented his steam-stecring gear. The
first OF the machines was built here.
During the progress of this invention he
realized that it was premature, and, in
conversation with James Carmichael
about it, said: at is all right, but just
twenty years ahead of the times. u
Another remark rejecting upon the
engineers of that time is still within tho
recollections of some of the employees al
the Harlan & Hollipgsworth Co.'s place
A suggestion had been made to him
about his cutoff. 1t was in the nature
OF an Improvement. In answer to it he
said: mo, it won't do. These machine:
must be made SO that an OK can manage
them"
| Mi. Sickles name was also connected
with the construction Of the Uniot
Pacific railroad.

It's members together for their own intel

restricted 10 any enjoyment OF those

5of a measure which Is calculated TO PC

Why are We women interested IN the

,swer first, for tho child's sake; second,
for the States sake. For the child's sake
because at present we are providing
neither chart, compass nor guide DOOR,
but thousands Of children, who 'stand-

and river meet, are soon to have re-
sponsibilties thrust upon them Tor
which they will be totally unprepared.
For the States sake, because the child
will be the future citizen; he will make
and enforce the laws under which we

affairs of our nation, and his influence
will be for the veal or WOO OF tho state.
Is it not, therefore, eminently fitting,

A senator indeed.

DVblDH htIhlus
II Delaware shall be denied the repre-.
sentation of a second Senator in the
next Congress, she may have the conso-
lation of knowing that the Senator re-
naming to her is as we'll fitted to make
the place of two Senators good as any
man in that body. George Gray is a
man who would have essentially to
the ability and the characterof our public
life in any era of the nations history.
He is as industrious and as conscientious
as he is able. lie has cast no vote in all
the difficult crisis through which the
late Congress has passed to which ex-
ception will be taken by intelligent and
patriotic citizens, and he has discussed
measures of Importance with capacity
aud comprehension that has not been
exceeded by any of his colleagues.
Delaware is clearly to be congratulated
on the Senator she has left, and tie
little State has every reason to be proud
of him.

pn poNr SCHOOL CHOICE.
The Teachers Favored Arbutns But th'
Pupils Want the Violet.

Pupils Want the Violet.
The following very interesting com.
munication on the topic of flower
choice has been received from school
teacher, who evidently has given great
deal Of attention to the question;
Editor Gazette Dc JonrnuS. Yesterday
our school voted on the flower question.
The vote was as follows: Peach bios
som, IS; laurel, 2; arbutus, II; violet,
1913. Several of the smaller scholars
could not make q choice, while the
teachers unanimously favored the
arbutus. The children know the violet
and love to pluck its blossoms from the
fields in the spring, consequently the
large vote in its favor. They do not
know the arbutus.
do not consider the peach blossom
very good choice for State flower.
The peach tree. when in bloom, lacks
one of the essentials of perfect beauty,
and that is foliage. 1t is the anticipa.
ton OF the delicious fruit, and not the
beauty of its blossom, that gains for the
peach tree our admiration. The short
period Of the trees life also makes the
selection of Its flower objectionable.
An evergreen is far more preferable.
Then why not make a choice Of the
kalmia, Or laurel, as it is generally
called? In the first place IL has received
in some localities a bad name and is
called "sheep's prison." In the secont
place its flowers are devoid of any sweet
ness, and In fact they become repulslyt
ii allowed to remain in closed room
over night, for they give off an odo
very much akin to that of tobacco. Tht
flower, however, is exquisitely beautiful
and | know of no other flower who's
mechanism is so unique. For decora
ton the laurel answers fairly well.
But of all flowers the arbutus il
among the sweetest. In the Virginias i
is locally known as the May flower ant
tho Wild Easter flower. When til,
Easter flowers in the gardens begin t.
