J. c. H. Naught of this city has been
granted a patent on an improved JOINT
in rim OF fellow for vehicle wheels
The improvement over the present
method of joining the fellow is in the
oblique joint which is made near the
spoke instead of straight joint half way
between spokes, as is the present Gus
tom. This new method prevents the
battering down Of the joint in light
wheels and also prevents wedge-shaped
pieces from splitting off or sawed fel-
lows Of heavy wheels. The patent for
the United States was issued on the 18th
of October and applications for patents
are now pending in Canada, England
and France

The Lehigh University.

The Register of Lehigh Univer-
sity, recently issued, shows an atten-
dance of 1868 students, divided
among courses as follows: Mechan-
ical Engineering lO6, Civil Engi-
neering S4, Electrical Engineering
66, Mining Engineering 46, Ana
lytical Chemistry 2S, Architecture
10, Literary and Classical Courses
2S. The teaching force comprises
AZ Instructors of all grades, which
is in the proportion of oneinstructor
to less than nine students. A care
ful study of the register shows that
while the University is largely de-
voted to technical branches, the cul-
ture studies, such as English, litera-
ture, history, modern language, po-
litical economy, and philosophy form
quite large part Of thecurriculum.
Abundant opportunity for practical
work is afforded in the physical,
electrical, and chemical laboratories,
and in the summer schools in Civil
and Mechanical Engineering. The
literary and classical courses arc also
well equipped.

Teach County History.

From Phia Inquirer, March, -.
The Lebanon Daily News COM
mends The Inquirer's efforts to in
duce the school authorities through
out the State to teach more State
and county history that is now taught
in the public schools of even the
most progressive counties. "rhose,' u
it says, "who are at the head of ed
ucational affairs in this city and
county cannot begin too soon pre-
pairing a course Of study having this
object in view. In no other way
can the boys and girlsofour country
become familiar with its history and
its geography as we'll"
This is true, not alone of Leban-
on county bat of every county in
the State. 1t is a singular fact that
in many of the interior counties not
q line of local history is taught.
The daily and weekly newspapers
far in advance of the authorities
whose duty it is to insure useful et.>
ucation to the young-print from
time to time chapters of the politi-
cal, military and social past OF their
localities, but the schools, the os-
tensible teachers, DO nothing! The
Historical Societies are doinga good
work in many places among the
adult population, but it isnaturally
confined almost wholly to adults.
Every public school in the State
ought to have a county history as
q daily text book.

ANNOUNCEMENT

The Fireside Publishing Com
pany, of Philadelphia, has issued
booklet by the Honorable Thomas
V. Cooper, Ex-Collector ofthe Port
of Philadelphia, and self-nominated
candidate for the Governorship of
Pennsylvania. The Publication is
styled "The New Equality" 1t is
an arraignment of theexisting trusts,
syndicates, and other monopolies.
1t demonstrates how hollow is the
pretence that these corporate mon
opolies are created with any view of
cheapening the price of commodities
to the people; and outlines the only
possible method of effectually as
sailing and eventually overcoming
these giant Octopuses that have u
tentacle in everybody's pocket. In
order to bring it within the reach OF
every voter in the country, the price
has been fixed at the astonishingly
low figure often cents. Itdeserves,
and is certain to have very exten-
sive circulation. It will be warmly
welcomed and appreciated, as agood,
solid work, we'll worth possessing.

Moses Fry Hangs Himself.
Sunday Morning lie Has Found
Dead IN HIS Barn Suspended
to q Ladder.

70 u LuUdef.
The first news ON Sunday morn
ing that reached the ears of our
people was "Mose Fry hung HIM
self" The news proved to be only
too true. He did not reach home
Saturday evening, but Mrs. Fry felt
no concern about that as he frequent
ly was calledawayto attend sick hor-
ses adwould stay all night. When
Mr.. Fry failed to appear Sunday
morning, Mrs. Fry made search
and, imagine her horror, when she
toundhim hangingin thebarn stitfand
cold in death. He hung his hat on
the ladders of Il wagon where he lett
a note saying, "My troubles endeth
my lite, to my friends Good bye to
you ALL" He then used a line and
fastened it to wrung of a ladder
and the other end about his neck.
His struggle was probably brief.
Upon learning the fate Of her hus-
band. Mrs. Fry gave the word to
the neighbors, who gathered in and
took charge of the body. Nj. Il.
Steinlnger, Justice of the Peace, em-
paneled jury consisting of b. w.
Yoder, foreman, Daniel Bolender,
H. ID. Stahlnecker, Henry Bachman
Howard Folk and Harry Specht.
The jury rendered a verdict in ac-
cordance with the facts above given
Moses Fry was born Apr. 2, 1884
and followed the profession of horse
doctering and farming. Hc was a
soldier in the late war and was try
ing to get pension and it is said
that on Saturday he received word
his claim had been rejected. This
is evidently false as no papers are
found on his person. There was no
hay, no oats, no corn and nothing
else to feed his stock and it is supp
osed that this is the realsource of his
trouble. He would have been Ga
years on the day he was buried Tu-
esday. Rev. Hertz oilcatcd at the
funeral. The deceased is survived
by Il widow and an only daughter,
married to George Bickhart, son OF
II. Il. Bickhart and wife of thi,
place. The farm of Mrs. Fry will
soon be sold as she is not able to
oversee the farming of it.

Southern writers and economists
continue to urge diversiiication of
industries in that section under the
stimulus given by the new protec-
tive tariff. The Charleston News
and Courier in Il recent issue calls
attention to the fact that although
the South produced mole than H.
100000 bales OF cotton last year,
it did not raise enough foods and
provision crops to support its own
population six months, and has been
buying corn, hay and wheat in the
West, and concludes that the pro-
duccrs of that section ought to fol-
low the example Of those now en-
gagged in the enterprise of diversity
ing industries which have been 50
greatly encouraged in that section
since the enactment of the Dinglcy
law.
