Until the present time none of those

MORE THAN GOLD RESERVE
over 500, 900 Annually Earned by Oper-
ators of the TypewrIter-A Modern
Invention of Utility.

The last quarter of the nineteenth
century will claim unprecedented dis
tinction for the many Inventions which
it produced. During this time we have
seen advancements in the art of pr0duc
ing light through various stages; from
the tallOw candle, oil and gas, TO elec
tric.ty. In the art of writing, wonder
fdl advancements have been made; first
the quill, then the steel pen,-now the
typewriter. The latter when first plac-
ed on the market, hardly gave promise
of the wonderful developments of the
past few years, and grave doubts were
entertained as to it's practicability; but
time has demonstrated that the writing
machine is not only an indispensable ar
ticIe in the transaction of business and
in commercial offices. but the lawyer
would feel as though bis tasks were be-
ing increased if he had to prepare his
briefs by pen.
Some idea of the extent to which the
typewriter has been used can be drawn
from statistics recently prepared, show
ing that over Sl00, ,O00,0 (mOre than
the present gold reserve of the United
States) is being earned annually by oper-
ators on the Remington Machine. The
typewriter has also advanced. 50 that it
is not only used by lawyers and business
men, but it is being adopted by leading
educational institutions as an important
factor in education. We are in receipt

THE CALHOUN MURDER.
Reported Confession Of Dying Man

On the morning of August 26th, 1891 (.
as Mr.. Charles +. Taylor, and a coloTed
man named Duvall were coming to An
napolis they saw in the light of the morn
ing, the form of a man lying along the
roadside near the railroad track, near
Camp Parole. Upon Investigation 1t
proved to be w. III. Calhoun, a we'll
known and much respected eolored man
employed at the Naval Academy. He
was terribly cut about the head and face
and I'm an unconscious condition. Rich
ard II. Neale, principal of Stanton col
ored school was, of Annapolis, and a
c0lored man named CAN'T were arrested
on suspicion -Neale having called at
Calhoun 5 home the evening before to
take him in his buggy to col0red camp
meeting then in progress at CampParOle
and that was the last time Calhoun was
seen until he was found the next morn
ing in bleeding and unconscious con-
dition. He fingered in this condition
until tae S0th of August when he died.
The affair was shrouded in great mys-
try, and suspicion pointed strongly TO
Neale who was arrested, charged with
the crime, and held for Court. The trial
attracted much attention Neale was
finally acquitted. Neale lived at that
time on West River, and had been charg-
ed with enticing Calhoun's daughter
from her home, and there was consider
able scandal about the affair.
1t was reported this morning that
Thomas Bryan, an intimate friend of
Nealsmd a frequent visitor TO his house
who is now in the last stages of con-
sumption, and on his dying bed, made a
confession of the whole affair." charging
Neale with the awful crime. 1t is said
that Neale confessed TO him all about IL.
A CAPITAL reporter called at Bryan S
house this morning on Northwest street,
to learn the particulars, but could get
no information of the confession. He
was not permitted to see Bryan, but his
wife who LET the reporter IN, upon ques-
tioning her rs to the report, denied all
knowledge Of it, and said it was reported
by some mischevous person and there
was not word of truth in it. But not.
withstanding, it is said that Bryan has
made a confession of the affair to some
one but it will not be given to the pusllc.
Neale is still teaching school in the
county, having been removed from the
Stanton scheol of this city after repeated
charges made to the school board of his
unfilness, by the patrons of the school.
Neal is considered somewhat of poll
tician among the colored people.

THE BAY SHORE ROAD.
An Important Adjunct to Annapolis.

An Important Adjunct to Annapolis.
MIR. EDITOR II saw ON our streets
the other day two gentlemen from
"Arundel on the Bay soliciting sub
scriptions for the purpose or making a
good road from Annapolis 10 Arundel.
The County Commissioners have offered
to appropriate $500 if these gentlemen
would raise $500 more. So their object
was to get our citizens TO help them out
with the $500, they have raised nearly
half of this amount among themselves.
Now, Mr.. Editor, whild the building
of this road is good thing and 1 have
given my mite toward it, don't see why
the county commissioners could not put
this road i'm repair without calling for
private subscription. "Arundel on the
Bay is destined to be quite a resort for
the Washington people and every cent
of improvements put on it is that much
added toour taxable, basis andc0nse-
qnently pays the county in taxes. Now
everybody knows that the best way to
encourage improvements is to give them
good reads and in very few years the tax
es derived will pay largely on theinvesU-
ment. This Will not only give a good
road to Arundel but also to Bay Ridge
al d people from all parts of the county
will use it in summer. 1t is not an un-
III ual thing, in summer to see team after
team passing through our city on the way
to Bay Ridge prefeting this road to the
others, simply because it is better and
shorter
These people now get most of their
provisions and material from Washing
ton, simply because they cannot get to
and from Annapolis on account OF the
roads. With good road they will do
all their dealing in our city, which is
quite an object to us. Now, Mr.. Edi
tor, think it would pay the county to
build this road without any help from
private subscriptions, as in few years
the taxes from Arundel and theimproVe.
ments along the line, would amply repay
the expense, but let us have it any way,
for our own good, by helping these gen
tlemen along.
Don't YOU think the merchants and
citizens generally should take some ac-
tion beside giving the amount necessary.
to see it through You have always
been wide awake on these matters. Can t
YOU suggest some mode of actiOn. IL is
time we were getting ouL of this shat
out poli.y and adoptinga policy to bring
people and m oney to us, instead OF try
ing to freeze out everybody coming along
when we should take them by the hand
and give them a welcome, not only by
words but deeds. ,.
