Glass of go.
The following is the address deliver

ing to Salem Female Academy the
granite entrance to the Park on be-
half of the Glass of 90:
1t has been the pleasing custom of
recent years, for each graduating class,
upon bidding farewell to its Alma
Mater, to leave token Of affection,
as memorial within the school.
The beautiful Vance Memorial Win
dow, presented by the Class Of '94. adds
much to the attractiveness Of the
newly frescoed chapel, while the ser
vices are rendered more beautiful and
impressive by the sweet tones OF the
large pipe organ, the gift of the grad
yates of '95.
We, the Glass of '96, trust that ouT
choice of memorial will be as pleas
ing and as much appreciated as those
of the previous years.
We have endeavored to select some
thing useful as well as ornamental
One member of the class, who doubt
less often found the many steps rather
wearisOme, suggested an elevator tC
the Seniors dormitory; another,
pavilion, to be erected in the pleasure
grounds, on the site of the old summer
ouse, but we finally decided that
stone entrance to the park would ado
much to the appearance OF the
grounds. AS our memorial stands In
full view, our friends can judge fol
themselves whether we have made g
wise decision.

THE TOBACCO COMMITTEE.
Mr.. j. w. Hanes Gives Impressions of
the Trip to Washington.

A1r. d. w. HaneS Gives impressions OF
the Trip to Washington.
Mr.. ] W. Hanes, who was Charm IN
Of the North Carolina and Virginia
delegation which went to Washington
increase in the tobacco tax, was seen
at his office by a SENTINEL rep
resentative and asked to give some
impressions of the committees trip
relative to the tax, etc.
Mr.. Hanes said the committee was
cordially received by Senators Pritch-
ard and Butler and the other North
Carolina representatives He said the
committee was also indebted to Con-
gresham Swanson, of Virginia, for
speciai favors and courtesies.
Mr.. HaL es nor any OF the other
members know what the result will
be when the vote is taken.
Senators Butler and Stewart prom
ised to stand by the tobacco men by
working and voting against an in,
crease in the tax The latter stated
that the committee could count on
every Pupulist and silver Republican
heing with it. Mr.. Hanes said the
Democrats are all right.
From the information gathered
while in Washington, the delegation
is convinced that Senators Pritchard
and Dubois can prevent the tax being
increased If they choose so to do. Sew
eral of the Rpresen tatives state d that
Senator Pritchard alone could defeat
the bill if be would do as the Califor-
MIA Senators did when told that the
new tariff bill would admit fruit free.
Their reply to the tariff committee
was that they would defeat the entire
bill when it came up in the Senate IL
the tax on fruit was not allowed to
remain. The stand taken by the Col
ifOrnia Senators means that there will
be duty on fruits-jast like Califol-
MIA wants.
Again Senator Lodge. of Massach-
usetts, kept the committee from put
ting a duty ON hides by saying he
would go against the whole bill If
such was done.
Mr. Dingley, father of what was
once known as the Dingley bill, but
what is now called the Senate bill,
invited the tobacco representatives To
call ON him After hearing their state
ment, be thanked the committee and
said he had been furnished with in
formation he never knew before.
While Mr.. Dingley did not say what
he expected to do, the committee was
| led to believe that he will bght the
| tobacco tax increase He appears to
| be somewhat displeased over the way
| the Senate treated his bill.
Senator Pritchard promised to fight
| the tobacco tax before the committee
but claimed that he could not afford
| to fight it In open Senate-in other
words that the people cannot expect
| him to go against his party caucus

The Modern Slot MACHINE.

The recognition given to the So
called "slot machine" in granting to
an individual the privilege of using it
for supplying drinking water to pc
destrians in the streets of Chicago is
likely to give that appliance the prom
inence it enjoyed centuries ago on the
banks of the Nile. When the slot ma
cline made its appearance few years
since it was described as a wonderful
invention that was destined to do away
with the news5oy, the bootblack and
other vendors of small articles. The
adoption of the device for furnishing
drinking water at the Worlds Fair
was regarded as a wonderful appli-
cnce to meet the necessities or wants
of the people. And yet the slot ma
chine was in common use thousands
Of years ago. In Hiero's "Spiritalia,"
which was published in the seven
tenth century, a description is given
Of closed vessel in use in the tenn
r'es Of Egypt, in which the sacred
water was kept. The machine had a
slot in the top and when five drachmas
were dropped in a valve opened and
small quantity Of the water flowed
cut. Then the valve closed automa.-
ically, to await the arrival Ct the next
1crshiper 1t is probable that the
,odern machines may be more orna-
mental than those in use in the Egyp
tian temples so long ago, but it is not
likely that they do their work any
better than those that caught the
drachmas of worshiping followers of
the sun god in days when cats were
divine and dogs were believed to have
souls.
