An amusing instance of presence of
mind occurred at one of the meetings
Of the national congress of the Daugh-
tiers of the American Revolution in
Washington. In a moment of areat
excitement, when a hundred women
more or less, were shrieking Madam

done 80 had not the republican
leaders watched with Mr.. Allen the re-
handling Of the votes. Out-and-out
democrats charged the Bryan, Sewall
n Williams Club with t%reachery In
cutting the broad-w aisted John II. Sui
Ivan at the polls and casting their
votes for Mr.. Allen; but the charge Is
not true. Mr.. Allen was nominated by
the republicans Of Massachusetts, In or
DER to show their sympathy with the
colored people. and o that they have
elected him they are glad. II is report
ca. too, that the governor and all the
other members of the council are glad,
put the report lacks confidence.
AS soon as the result Of the election
was known friends OF Mr.. Sullivan
asked for q recount. Some say that
Mr.. Sullivan was urged by the republi-
cans to request a recount. but the pro-
mulgators Of this report must be In err
rpr a. Mr.. Sullivan wanted the place.

cant wanted MI. Allen. However, the

dubious, but toward the end he COM
menced to warp up against the cur
rent that had set in against him, and
when the last precinct had been reached
he finished a winner by 62 votes. He
lives In the Fourth district, and there
are fifteen wards In the district. These
figures looked like a good thing to the
friends OF MI. Allen, and the result Of
the recount had hardly been an

In the policy shops. 1t is called the
Allen gig, and the combination is A.
1862. Allen is the first negro In any
northern state to be elected councillor
to a governor. He was born a slave
In Hampton. Va, ilfty-two years ago,
and In early life served in some capa-
city In the navy. About twenty-five
years ago he came to Boston, having
heard somewhere in the south that 1t
was the greatest city on earth for the
coiored man. He opened a dining sa-
loon, and when n busy watching his
silver-plated spoons and taking checks

were accepted, and he did good work.

Mrs. Beerbohm Tree has the honor
to head n Of the three divisions Of
London actresses. 1t has been said
lately that there are only three kinds

Seeing q Rose Grow.

An ingenious Frenchman has sug-
gested a way In which a rose, or other
flower, could be caused to appear grow
Ing and unfolding in the presence of q
roomful OF spectators. He proposes to
employ the kinematoscope, a magic
lantern so arranged as to produce NOV
Ing figures on a screen by means Of
a series Of photographs Of living OBJ
jects, each successive photograph hav-
ing been taken only a small fraction of
a second later than Its immediate pre-
decessor. But for the proposed new ap-
plication Of this instrument the pho
tographs need not be made 80 near to-
gether, since they are to represent,
changes which require several months
their development. Beginning with
the first appearance Of the bud, several
thousand photographs Of a growinE
rose are to be taken, Just near enough
together so the change Of form In flower
is almost imperceptible, until It has
its complete bloom, and then
has faded and fallen to pieces. These
photographs, being passed as trans
p~arencies, in rapid succession, through
the kinematoscope, there would appear
upon the screen the figure Of a rose Wis.,
IDLY budding. growing, opening, spread
ing its petals, and finally shrivelling
and dying, the whole process occupying
but a few minutes. Many other appli-
of this principle to the repre-
of growing objects are sug.

SENTINEL.

Successful Test OF u New Apparatus In
France.
The Submarine sentinel" Is the
name Of a new apparatus which has
quite recently been experimental with
by the French navy. The final tests
were made in San Juan bay by a special
commission, consisting of Capt. Fort,
commander of the French armorclad
Magenta; Lieut.. Series, the adjutant
OF Admiral Gervais. and a number OF
officers from the French Mediterranean
squadron. The apparatus which was OPP
Grated from the torpedo boat Sarrizin,
succeeded in exploding two automatic
torpedoes which had previously been
placed In the channel of navigation,
but without the knowledge Of the com-
mander of the Sarrizin. The successful
of this official test has been SUBJ
mitted to the French minister of ma
rine and the adoption of the submarine
sentinel by the French navy was
strongly recommended by the commits
sion to the higher authorities. In the
report Capt. Fort stated that 1t was
the only apparatus so far known offer
Ing the advantage of being able TO
clean the bottom of channels Of hostile
waters from explosive distractions
placed therein by the enemy. Details
OF the construction of the new appar-
atus are carefully withheld from the

To Take Gold from the Missouri River.
The Helena Herald Is authority for
the statement that a company COM
posed Of Great Falls, Mont, people is
going to try the experiment Of washing
gravel from the bottom of the Missouri
river between Townsend and Canyon
Ferry, with the view OF saving some Of
the gold known to exist therein. The
company Is styled the Great Falls Min
ing company, and is composed OF sew
eral well-known mining and smelling
men. who Just at present do not care to
h1Ye their names made public. They
have expended a couple OF thousand
dollars or more building a large fat
boat and equipping the same with some
specially designed machinery invented
by a citizen Of the Cataract City. The
boat Is propelled by steam, which will
also furnish the power needed for treat
ing the gravel and sand from the river
bottom. BY a system of cups or ele-
vators, running In an endless chain, the
material Is scooped up and run over or
through sluice-boxes carried upon the
boat. BY a special arrangement OF the
latter, in connection with some inge-
niously devised and specially invented
machinery, 1t is hoped that enough of
the gold can be saved to make the un,
~dertaking pay.

Story About Mansfield.

Here is another new story about
Richard Mansfield. A good many
years ago he engaged a private secre-
tary on the recommendation OF one Of
his friends. He soon discovered that
the young mans knowledge of the Eng
fish language, to say nothing Of other
qualifications, was distinctly rudi-
mentary. Finally, one day. after the
'cretary had made some terrible blum
ders in the wording Of a letter, Mr..
Mansfield lost patience.
Really, you know" said he, II can't
stand this. I have got to have some
one who's had a decent education"

The refusal Of the Boston public

Of course, repeat the parts In which she
Is already familiar, and in each Of
which she is the ideal Of the present
race Of opera-goers.
A young actress Of some versatility and
a fair amount OF p%rettiness Is Virginia
Earle. She created the leading role In
that Kaleidoscope production, the
Lady Slavey," did a bit of creditable
work In the Gold Bug" and blossomed
out recently In Japanese character
which seems to suit her style better
than anything she has yet attempted.
Miss Earle's is a talent which appeals
more forcibly to lovers Of the lighter
form Of stage work than to the serious
minded devotee OF the drama. 1t is
said by those who know her, that Miss
Earle harbors an ambition for the
higher forms Of histrionics, which am
billion 1t is to be hoped she may soon
realize.

Independence.

1t is truly wonderful how Amer
cans talk and boast of independence.
Sometimes you will hear a husband,
who has five miles between him and
his wife, Boosting of his indepen
dence, but when he is in his wife's
sight, he hasn't enough independence
to kindle a fire in the cook stove,
hardly enough independence to flavor
soup for sick grasshopp~1. You
will sometimes hear II politician
Boosting of his independence, and
most of the time he has not enough
independence to say smoked dried
coon skins are not tit to eat
We have worked this independence
racket so much and so long that it
needs patching. 1t has holes in it.
Some can be amused ut the young
man who cackles over his indepen-
dence, whenif he saw an ugl y girl
looking at him he would run home
and tell his mother. Where does the
amusement come in: You say that
girl is the most independent girl you
ever saw, but half the time she has
not enough independence to get up
before her mother! Take down your
sails.
There are some Independent PEG
pie, and some of them in the Harbor-
ton Baptist Church, and on Monday,
July j-day after Independence day
they are going to give an excursion

er, Eastern Shore.
This boat will leave Harborton
Monday morning, July 9TH, at i:5O Il.

only one dollar. You will be at Old
Point by $50 and stay there until

as something to eat, you want. Have
you enough independence to go? il
