I'm HAS BEEN PATENTED BY J

I'm HAS BEEN PATENTED BY j..
FRANK CURRY, or THIS CITY.
For some time back private demon
strations have been taking place
with new and wonderful
invention. which has long since passed
the experimental stage. and in which
the parties interested have been max
ing tests to find out in a mechanical,
electrical and technical way the eff
cheney as a motive power of an inven-
tion of which J. Frank Curry. of this
city, is the inventor and patentee,
United States patent papers having
been issued to him in March of this
year. The object of the above inven-
tion is TO furnish motive power from
an ordinary service or water pipe, and
at the same time saving 70 per cent. OF
the water in given time. thus Civ
ing actually one-horse power of energy
by merely placing this invention on an
Ordinary service pipe, such as every
house in the city has. By merely turn
ing on the faucet the user gets the
benefit of the water and at the same
time with the saving of 72 per cent,
derives enough power to run small
mechanism of any sort, generate elec-
trio light or run fans. and. it may be
possible in the near future, to hea,
dwellings from the ordinary use Of
water daily consumed by the occupants
of dwelling houses. The services and
professional knowledge of experts, botf
mechanical and electrical, have beer
Engaged for some time back, and theii
opinions are that the invention is 9
wonder as an economical and money
Saving device.
Mr.. Curry has several well-knowr
and thoroughly capable parties, finan
cial and otherwise, interested with hin
and will now proceed to put on tn,
market this invention. AT a privat
demonstration given last night befor
competent engineers he produced elec
J trio lights, or sufficient power, in othe
words, from an ordinary faucet to gen
crate one-horse power of energy, o
seven sixteen-candle electric lights, o
fourteen eight-candle lights. He is no
limited to any particular use, and cal
apply his invention to almost an,
mechanism where power is required.

the stories published in the Sunday pa

people to take views in the jail, espe-
cially of the whipping post and pillory.
The picture "Delawre Justice" as it is
to be called, has now been seen nearly
all over the country, and that if it is
shown in the biograph, it will be only
what has been seen before. In fact,
Chief Dolan. Of the Wilmington po-
lice, took photographs of it to the
convention of police chief in Tennessee
and distributed them to the attending
chiefs. Mr.. Alderman paid the man
to stand in the pillory, and the war
den saw no harm in letting a prisoner
earn little money in that way. The
pictures have already been published
in the leading papers Of the United

there is anything going on in the hall
the people of that neighborhood bid
goodbye to sleep till the wee small
hours of morn, for it is impossible to

TIE ECONOMIC LEE.

Where is that report of the Eco
nomic Insurance Company?
The insurance company is said to
have recently filed report" with In
surance Commissioner Fowler, yet so
far as any statistics of the Insurance
Department are concerned, there is no
such Insurance company as the Eco
nomic In existence.
A couple of weeks ago there were
printed several letters over the sigma
ture OF Insurance Commissioner Fow-
Ter, of Laurel, to the efIect that he had
made repeated demands upon the Eco
nomic Insurance Company that they
comply with the laws of the state pro-
vidod for the purpose Of securing pol
Icy holders against loss, but that he
could get no satisfaction.
Dr. Fowler said that the attorney 6i
the insurance company decided that
the company was DOING INSUR-
ANCE THAT WOULD BRING THEM
UNDER THE CONTROL OR SUPER
VISION of the Insurance Department
but that THE SECRETARY AC-
KNOWLEDGED THAT THEY WERE
DOING AN INDUSTRIAL BUSINESS
ETC" Wherefore these conflicting
statements?
The insurance commissioner further
said; Il HAVE HEARD NOTHING
/ FURTHER FROM THEM AND CON
SlDER THEIR PROCEEDINGS LILLE
GITIMATE."
The question which many OF the poor
policy holders in this company are now
asking themselves is: III this insurance
company is all right why doesn't II
show up It's assets and liabilities
Meanwhile many other people are
holding of, or insuring in other com
panies, which have compiled with the

MAYOR FAHEY's DUTY.

When Governor Tunnel exercised
his constitutional right to veto the
pyle water bill his chief reason as
signed was that the people Of VIII
mington should keep such affairs at
home for settlement and not take them
TO Dover. He made no mention OF
the fact that it was at Dover that the
Board OF Water Commissioners was
created; neither did he discuss the un-
reasonableness of the water commits
eioners and the iniquity Of the finan-
cial system of the department. He ig-
nored the thirteen of the seventeen
senators who voted for the Pyle water
bill: he ignored the twenty-six Of the
thirty-fve members of the House who
supported it; he ignored the will Of the
duly elected representatives of the peo-
pie Of Wilmington, and listened to no
one but delegation of water surplus
benenciaries and their lobbyists. some
OF whom were very close to his ex-
cellency's person. He vetoed the bill
after the General Assembly had ad-
journed. Had It been in session 1t
would have oyerridden his veto.
In selecting Washington Hastings
successor on the Board Of Water Com
missioners Mayor-elect Fahey must not
lose sight Of this issue. He should ap-
point a man who is In sympathy with
the water consumers; not one who ex-
torts money from them TO be used to
pay the general taxes OF non-consum-
ers and owners Of vacant lots. This
fight for lower water rates is just clev-
erly begun Il viii be renewed at the
next General Assembly and fought 10 a
conclusion. An auspicious beginning
would be for the mayor-elect to ap-
point TO the board a man who is op-
posed 20 the maintenance OF rates
which not only maintain the depart
ment but also give $4,000 in free water
and park maintenance. and a surplus OF
$4,000 to be used Tor general purposes
after the water consumers have az
ready contributed their fair share Of
taxes under the general levy.
