A RALEIGH LADY HAS PATENTED
AN IMPORTANT APPLIANCE.

gines Will Soon be Submitted TO
Railroad Companies for
Experiment.

A Raleigh woman is achieving repu-
tation and success i'm the field of in
vention and what is more unusual in
the department of mechanics.
The latest invention which she has
patented is a smoke and clnder con-
veyer, and the patent was issued July
21st.
Mrs. Mary J. Wyatt is the inventor
She is the wife of Mr.. W. f. Wyatt, the
we'll known merchant, and was Miss
Foscue. of the well-known Craven
county family.
Her attorney in Washington is Chas.
E. Barbee, Esq.
The patent promises to add much
to the comfort and convenience of
railroad travel, and will no doubt
prove exceedingly profitable.
The service is said to be practicable,
and will soon be submitted to a num-
her of leading railroad companies
for experiment. If these experiments
are successful the applian e will doubt
less be put into immediate use ON the
different lines.
It's adoption would remove one of the
most disagreeable features IF railroad
travelling.
Mrs. Wyatt has another invention
on which a patent will sooa DE applied
for. This will not be made public I'M
til the Patent Office acts on the appli-
cation, but it promises to De quite
success. She consulted the master me-
chanic of the Atlantic and North Caro-
lima shops at NeWbern, and he pro-

PLEASANT EVENING CONCERT.

Another one of those delightful
evening concerts was given at Pullen
Park last night 1t was beautiful
moonlight night, just warm enough
to make the open cars a delight, and
several hundred people embraced the
opportunity for a pleasant ride, and a
stroll in The Park and a programme of
excellent music. The cars were well
crowded from $3.50 o'clock until the
band played the last number, and the
crowd took the cars for the city.
Manager Johnson, of the Street Car
Company, is giving the people of the
city a number Of novelties. 1T is to be
hoped that these pleasant evening con
certs will be continued. If 1T is under
stood that they are to be regular fea-
ture of the summer season he attend
ance will be largely increased and the
cars will overflow vita the crowd The
coQcerts would add much to THE en-
ioyment Of the heated term.

ANDREW CARNEGIE COMING.
The Great Magnate and PniIanthropist
to Visit the A. and M. College.

Andrew Carnegie, the noted philan-
thropist and multi-millionaire will
visit Raleigh next winter.
President Holiday, of the Agricul-
tural and Mechanical College, yester-
day received a letter from Mr.. Carne-
gie's private secretary, in which he said
that Mr.. Carnegie was coming South
next winter and had expressed a de-
sire to visit Raleigh and the Agricul-
tural and Mechanical College, and
would, if invited address the students
Of the college. Mr.. Carnegie expresses
the opinion that no State in the Union
has brighter future than North Car
DINA, and says that the A. and NJ. col
lege can contribute more to that flu
ture than almost any other agency. He
writes that he has heard from outside
sources of the fine work being done
by the college, and he desires to in
spect the institution in person.
Mr.. Carnegie is the author of num-
Der of works on economics. He is a
Scotchman, and is the largest steel and
iron magnate in the world.
Such words from him are appre-
ciated. "Praise from Sir Hubert is
praise indeed"

His successor win be chosen at an
early meeting of the Board of Trus-
tees. Prof, Edwin A. Alderman, of

THE cURRENoY CONFERENCE.

It is rather amusing to read in that
portion of the public press which OPP
poses free silver that the election set
tied the financial question, and then to
read about that currency conference
which has Just been held in Indianap
oils. The chairman of the conference
stated, practically, that such was the
view of the Indianapolis board of trade,
by whom the conference had first been
called. The chairman himself said that
the result of the election must not be
taken as an overwhelming expression
of the people in favor of the present
monetary system. The more than six
million votes for Mr.. Bryan and free
silver make this statement reasonable.
Speaking of the government paper
currency system, Chairman Adams
said the burden is too heavy to be
safely borne and no individual, cor
poration or government can conduct
business on a safe and sound basis
who has demand notes calling for mil
lions of dollars in existence and circu-
lation. which notes are liable in a
period of stringency and panic to be
brought to the counter for redemption,
and when so redeemed are re-issued.
thus acting as standing menace to
the government reserve and a con-
tinual threat to the trade and business
Of the country, causing disturbance and
unsettled values of every character"
There is a great deal of truth in that
There is also much truth in the remark
of Mr. John R. Wilson that congress
each year exhibits an increasing in
ability to legislate efficiently concern
ing financial matters
The result OF the conference was the
adoption of resolutions favoring the
calling of national convention to con-
slider the currency question and the

ONLY AFTER \ CHEW

Every one will remember the story of
the early California mining town when
a man, who was somewhat new to live
western ways, came near losing his life
through an inadvertence. 1t was in
the leading saloon of the town where
all the leading citizens were assembled.
There was no personal objection to the
stranger; he neither put on airs nor
sought TO lead his fellow men into bet
ter ways. He was a chewer of tobacco,
which he always carried in his hip
pocket Forgetting for the moment the
social customs of the town he reached
round towards his hip pocket for his
tobacco In an instant a score of guns
were drawn and leveled upon him. He
was more than taken by surprise, but he
did not lose his head. Gentlemen" he
said in a respectful but firm tone of
voice, Il beg your pardon for forgetting
the social usages of your city. l de-
sire a chew of tobacco, which 1 always
carry in my hip pocket Henceforth 1
shall carry my tobacco in the same
pocket you do that no misunderstand-
ing may arise" The apology and ex
PLANTATION were satisfactory
We are reminded of this story by
dispatch from WATERFOWL, Mass, which
says that orders have been received at
the arsenal there to hurry up the work
on the gun carriages in course of con-
struction during the past few months
The dispatch goes on and gravely and
all-wisely states that all this rush at
the arsenal has been the cause of much
speculation among the employees as
well as among the people of WATERFOWL
who have been interested spectators of
the activity. They see in it indications
of fear that the government may yet
have trouble with Spain and the gov
ernment's intention is to be prepared
for it. if it comes" Seeing indications
of fear of war with Spain in all this
shows wonderful foresight in these peo-
ple. The fact is that Uncle Sam can't
even reach for his tobacco pouch but
that a whole lot of silly jingoes imagine
he is going to pull his gun and be-
gin shooting promiscuously. 1t is an
excellent thing for the country that
Uncle Sam has more good hard sense
than some of his hair-brained children.

tories should cease to be benefciaries
under it at the end of that time. That
would be a total of 215 cents a pound
for one year, assuming that the prod
uct of each year was practically the
same. The law of 1890 provided for a
bounty on sugar of cents a pound
and IA cents a pound according to
paloriscopic test. from July l, 1891, to
July 1, 1895, a period of four years. Mr..
Cutters is the better plan, principally
on the theory that between two evils
one should choose the least.
The state legislature viii grant no
bounty on sugar, nor is it at all likely
that congress will at its coming ses-
sion, though it is not at all improbable
that the Fifty-fifth congress may at
tempt it. The sugar industry is well
adapted to Utah and all viii hope to
see more sugar factories erected in the

sHERMAN's Long SERVICE.

In all the gossip about the compost
ton of President-elect McKinley's cab
met the name of Senator John Sher-
man is often heard in connection with
the secretaryship of the treasury. This
is because he once held that position
under President Hayes, and because
he is regarded as the leading financial
authority of the Republican party
Gossip has had it that he would re-
sign his seat in the senate to go into
the treasury and that he would be
succeeded there by Mark Hanna. In
all likelihood this is nothing but gossip
In connection with all this Walter
Wellman, the well known Washington
correspondent, sends some interesting
facts to the Chicago Times Herald re-
garding Senator Sherman's long sena-
torial service. The distinguished Ohio
senator now holds the record for long
service in the senate. MIR. Wellman
gives his record. He entered the sen
ate March p. 1851, and served to March

He re-entered the senate March 4, 1881,

MANAGER CUTLER eN SUGAR FAC
TORIES.
The Lehi Banner says:

The LEM Banner says
Manager Cutler thinks there are good
prospects for a factory to be built IN
Weber county if the sugar question IS
settled. There must be some prctec-
+;o,, against foreign countries that pay
exnort bounty. The present ad valorem
dutv of the United States is only
farce as it permits under valuation
and does not accomplish its end by
about half of the duty levied The
need Of the manufacturer is specific
duty and a state or government bonus
To induce capitalists to invest Mr.
Cutler advocates a bounty on a sliding
scale. say of IL cents a pound the first
year 1 cent the second year and u cent
the third year when it should cease.
No factory can start and jump to sue
cess. under the most favorable eondi-
tions. even with the aid of bounty.
Every one in the state will wish that
a sugar factory may be built in Weber
county. but just what is meant by IF
the sugar question is settled is difficult
10 understand. We were not aware
that there had been any agitation of
the question.
The statement thai the present ad
valorem duty is a farce as it permits
of under valuation is not correct. The
price of very few things is so well
known and easily ascertained as the
price of sugar. An additional duty i'm
posed on sugar, whether specific or ad
valorem, for the purpose of raising
revenue would not be Objectionable to
any portion of the people. AS a source
of revenue sugar was sacrificed by the
Mckinley tariff law of 1890. The sacri-
ficing of this source of revenue has
cost the country between two and three
hundred million dollars.
The Banner states that Mr.. Cutler
advocates a bounty on a sliding scale.
of IL cents a pound the first year, 1
cent the second year, and Y cent the
third year. We take it. that the idea
here is not that n bounty law should
