INVENTED LEAD PipE.
As Usual, ThaagA IT, Genius Did Not

As Usual. TbAugA IT, Genius Did Not
Profit By EAs Idea.
There waI born in Milton, Pa, in 1909
man OF wonderful genius. it is said.
His name was Robert Se.oell, and he
died in 1S47 Four children survive
him, two of whom still reside there-a
son, jacob Seydell, and daughter,
Mrs. M l.. Gray.
Mr. Seydell was coppersmith and
was almost continuously working out
some device connected with the ma
chinery in his factory. To him, it is re-
lated by some Of the Oldest citizens of
this place, belongs the discovery of the
process of making lead pipe, and like
many other inventors the idea of MAX
ing the same was stolen from him and
further developed to its present form
of manufacture.
1t was in the latter part of the '30s
that the idea suggested itself to him,
and the following is the way it brought
it out: He first took slug, or casting
of lead, placing it on a mandel, or rod
of steel, about 16 feet long and one inch
in diameter; the mandel was highly
polished, and upon this he drew or
rolled out the lead to the full length Of
the rod, thus giving him an inch BORE
and the material was rolled, it is said
to a one-fourth inch, making total
diameter of 1H inches for the pipe.
After completing several sections of the
length of the mandel he soldered them
together, making the pipe of whatever
length he desired.
He put it to practical use by fastening
it to pump-heads and also running it
from springs to connect watering
troughs and spring houses in the coun-
try roundabout here. Being greatly
pleased with his discovery, and receiv-
ing the most fattering of comments
from his friends and neighbors in this
section, he concluded to make his in
vention more widely known, and hence
made visit to Philadelphia, taking his
device with him.
At the Franklin institute in that city
he gave his first exhibition to quite a
number of inventors, artisans and me-
chanics. AS it is now related, every one
of whom witnessed it were more than
delighted, and SO expressed themselves
in his immediate presence.
1t was not long that he was allowed
to remain in a condition of supreme
happiness over his invention, for a
short time after he made disclosure
of his discovery, and while yet in Phila-
delphia, he found out that by the very
persons to whom he had given an ex-
hibitioa of the process of making lead
pipe his idea had been used and i'm
proved upon.
Mr. seydell was man of great piety,
an enthusiastic devotee of the church
the Baptist-with which he was con-
nected.-Philadelphi Press.

FRUITS IN HAMAKUA.

+. NJ Blacow, of Hamakua district
on Hawaii, has obtained fine results
with his citrus fruits. He has about
twelve acres planted to lines, lemons
and oranges. These are all young,
but have returned him an income of
500 IA month for the past year. If
direct steam communication could be
obtained with the Coast, Mr.. Blacow
believes that the raising of citrus
fruits could be gone into on large
scale and with good profit; at pres
ent the market is limited and only a
small area can be cultivated probably.
Mr.. Blacow does not believe in encour-
aging immigration of men with small
capital to go into coffee, but in case
the market could be extended he DE-
lieves that this class could make n
good living in fruit raising for for
eign consumption.

would give his consent should med
al trophy be hung up. He does not
understand why Kimokeo will not
agree to these conditions.
Some one has volunteered the in
formation that it is not Kimokeo him
self who is holding back. but prom
inent young Hawaiian. who wagered
5000 that the native could win over
Renear and who now fears that the
haole is the better of the two.

CHARLESTON OFF TO MANILA.
Big Cruiser Given Tremendous Ovation
as She Leaves American Shores.

San Francisco, May 22.-The Charles
ton left her moorings at the navy yard
this morning and is now started on her
way to the Philippines. Last night she
ran into fog bank and was compelled to
wait in the stream until the morning
breeze made navigation safe. Thousands
went out to the heads to see her pass and
to give her farewell.
Every steamer in the harbor blew her
whistle and there was tremendous loar
of cheers from the soldiers gathered at
the Preside. They are soon to go to the
Philippines, and as the Charleston passed
out they lined the beach for mile and
hurrahed as long as she was within hear
ing. The warships responded with deaf
ening blasts from her huge siren. The
forts did not salute as the Charleston
went out of the harbor.
SIGNIFICANCE OF MoNTEREY's TRIP.
The repor, that the Monterey has been
ordered to Manila has raised good deal
of comment, for she is not by any means
a sea-going craft, and such trip would
be long and hard one for her. She
would have to carry deckload of coal to
bring her to Honolulu, even under slow
speed. The run to Manila from Honolulu
would compel her to coal at sea unless the
awkard expedient of having her towed
were adopted.
She can be made ready in four days
Most Of this time would be taken up i'll
filling her bunkers and slowing deck
load of coal and in the filling of her store
rooms.
1t was announced in Eastern dispatches
some days ago that strong influence was
brought to bear on the Administration to
have the Montery sent to the Philippines,
as it is doubtful if the Government would
ever bring her back, and it would be a
tacit notification to the powers that the
United States had decided to hold the
islands as her own. This view of the case
has taken firm hold here, where the
monitor is known and her capabilities are
familiar to all.
Her longest trip was to Callao, but on
that occasion she carried deckloads of
coal from port to port and she was never
more than few miles from land. Should
she get out there, however, Dewey will
need no more fighting craft, for the Off
GERS of the monitor are confident they
could run the Monterey against anything
that floats.

From the University of Virginia.

Literature has suffered a real loss in the
death of Professor NJ. Schele de We're,
which recently occurred in Washington.
For halfcentury he was a professor at
the University, and the alumni of the In
stitution will learn of his death with sor-
row. He was helpful as a teacher, of un-
usual literary capacity, and endeared to
all by his kind and genial disposition.
until recent years he was frequent con-
tributor to leading periodicals in this coun-
try and Europe, and the author of many
works of recognized value among educa-
tors.
Mr.. j. NJ. Brodnax, a graduate of
Princeton, and until recently member of
the graduating class Of Princeton Tt.eolog-
ical Seminary, has been engaged as gen.
eral secretary of the Y. NJ. G. A. for the
next session. Mr.. Brodnax has been at
the University forseveral months, and has
commended himself to the students and
professors alike as an earnest, active, busi-
ness-like man, and the work will prosper
in his hands.
The newly appointed committee on Re-
ligious exercises for next session is COM
posed of Professors Perkinson, Lille and
Dunnington. This committee has charge
of all the religious exercises in the chapel.

GLADSTONE BURIAL.
The Great Commoner Will Be Inferred in
Westminster Abbey.

London, May 22.-It was settled yester-
day at conference between Herbert Glad
stone, Arthur j. Balfour, the First Lord
of the Treasury, and the dean of Westmin-
lister, that the body of William Ewart
Gladstone should be buried in Statesman s
Corner, in Westminster Abbey.
The De&n readily acceded to the request
of the Gladstone family, that Mrs. Glad
stone should ultimately find resting place
beside her ilustrious husband.
Statesman's Corner is so crowded that
space remains sufficient for only two mon
uments, and the place now set apart for
Gladstone's tomb, your correspondent was
informed by Dean Bradley today, was vir-
tually consecrated TO that purpose by his
predecessor, Dean Stanley, a quarter of a
century since. The date of the public fu-
neral is still unsettled, but it is believed
that the necessary preparation for what
must assume the dimensions of great na-
llOQdl ueLlOuSGIdIlOu CdllllOG DC OOlhplSISu
for fortnight at least In the meantime
the body of the great commoner will lie in
Hawarden church.
Herbert Gladstone, expressing the views
of the family, is anxious that the burial
should take place about Thursday next at
the latest, and that the ceremonial should
be modified to meet that arr angement AS
the ministers naturally are desirous to de-
fer to the wishes of the family in every
way, probably this proposal will be adopted.
The family are also averse to having pub
lie procession from.the Euston Railway Sta
ton to the Abbey, and desire that the
body be taken through the streets without
the ceremony being reserved
for the interior of Westminster Abbey.
This scheme, if carried out, will cause
intense popular disappointment.

FRANCE CLEAR OF SPAIN.
The Government Aroused by the Feel
ina in America.

Paris, May 22.-Clear evidence is now
being of, red of ministerial desire to re-
move the bad impression created in the
United States icy the offensive hostilities
manifested by certain Paris journals over
the Spanish war.
NJ. uanotaux Is resolved to maintain
rigid neutrality and will participate in no
intervention without first ascertaining
Whether the proposed conditions are ac-
ceptable at Washington. Further testi-
mony of French official feeling sfurnished
bv an editorial in to-night's Temps en-
phaticaly protesting against the alleged
misunderstanding between France and
America, attributing the hostility shown
here to few boulevard journals whose
sympathy for Spain as the weaker party is
doubtless felt, but Frenchmen would be
glad to see Cuba free; and the French
Government has done and will do every
thing to safeguard its entente cordiale with
the great republic over the sea.
The French-American friendship, Temps
says, dates from the never tobe-forgotten
days of Washington and Lafayette, and
the historic past of both countries in a
measure determines their relations in the
future.
