The Sun says: 1.-THE Wilmington
Traction Company, by the associa-
tion oil six men. and the approval OF
their articles of association by the
resident Judge, does not constitute
a corporation; does not give the
prospective corpor ators" any of
the rights, powers or privileges Of
"a corporation. Following the
president Judges" approval, the ar
ticles of association must be pre-
scented to the Secretary of State.
Then follows the naming Of section
los (chapter 275) etc. Having
avoided the above section the Sun
says Mr.. Mitchell's Company has
no legal right even to the name it
has adopted and has no legal stand
ing in court or elsewhere. 1t is
simply an association of individuals
avoiding the responsible require
ments OF the law, seeking the pos
session of franchises which the law
designs shall be held and enjoyed
by companies organized under and
IN accord with the provisions OF the
law; an association of individuals
masquerading as corporation,
That such an association should
have any standing before, or be
granted any privilege by the Street
and Sewer Directors, is absurd or
worse.
\
The law provides, intends and
declares that railway franchises
shall be granted only to corpora
tons.
The Wilmington Traction Com
pany is not corporation, as con-
templated in the law. and the Street
and Sewer Directors have no right
to accord it corporate privileges, or
grant it any corpor ate franchise.

INVENTORS do not always reap
the advantage they should from their
patents. Take the inventor of the
type setting machine, Mergenthaler,
who has completely revolutionized
the printing business. He received
but $50 roy atty on each machine,
which cost from $4,000 to $500 each.
The men who got hold OF his patent
are the ones who have reaped the
reward of his genius. The inven-
tor, before his death, which took
place recently, had to fight to have
his name retained on the machines.
His heirs will receive the same roy
atty on each machine manufactured
by the company.

mother and little brothers; but as years
rolled on these faded from his memory, and
he became thoroughly identified with the
kindly blacks.
His account of his life among the
blacks is necessarily meagre, partly be-
cause he had some difficulty in expressing
his ideas in French, and partly, possibly,
because there was too much to tell. His
life, like that of the men of the tribe, ap-
peared to have been principally passed in
fishing and hunting, the monotony being
occasionally varied by fight with a neigh
boring tribe
What became of Narcisse after his arri-
val in France is not known. IL l am not
very much mistaken, there was on board
the Brisbane, when Narcisse appeared,
Lord Stanmore (then Sir Arthur Gordon),
who was on his way to Fiji as its first
governor, and the incident would be famil-
lar to him.
1t is a somewhat curious coincidence that
one James Murrell an English sailor,
whose story was told last year in the
Pail Mall Gazette" should have been cast
away on the coast of North Queensland in
1S49-nine years previously-and have lfv-
ed with the blacks for seventeen years be-
fore he was discovered. Murrell was an
A. B. on the bark Peruvian, bound from
Sydney to China, which ran ashore on the
Barrier Reef, and he was captured by a
tribe of blacks in the vicinity of Cape Mar
lowe. He was very kindly treated, and
after his return TO civilization a narrative
Of his adventures was published by THE
Brisbane Courier in 1865. Thus while
Pellatier was living among the blacks in
habiting the coastal region of Cape Sid
mouth, Murrell was living with the Cape
Marlowe tribe, 500 miles TO the southwark,
and near the present city Townsville. Pei
latter after his arrival in France Dub-
lished a narrative of his adventures, and
the two authentic tales, there is no doubt.

TO fabricate his tale of thirty years among

the other mans are fictitious The official

MUTILATED MONEY STOLEN.
A Clever Thief Robs Bank at BaI-
timOre of 1913.

BALTIMORE, Oct 3.-The sum of $318
in mutilated currency was stolen from the
desk of Mr. B. F. Zimmerman, assistant
paying teller at the Merchants National
Bank, South and Water Streets. yesterday.
The notes were partly torn In places and
in bad condition, and had been separated
from notes in good condition. OF the
amount $500 were in s. notes and the bal
ance in 81 and 81 notes.
The scheme by which the money was Sc
cured was so cleverly executed that Mr..
Zimmerman did not even catch a glimpse
of it when il occurred. A man called at
the window, purchased some revenue
stamps for checks and left
After he had gone Mr.. Zimmerman miss
ed the money from his desk, which was
just inside the iron-ba window where
customers are waited upon. The loss was
promptly reported to the police authorities
short time after the money was stolen
man visited the United States Subtreas-
ury, in the custom house, and laid down
a roll of mutilated notes, asking that he
be given new ones in exchange for them
but being unknown the man was question
ed rather closely. This seemed to fright
en- him and he seized the mutilated notes
and hurriedly left the building. In his
hurry he missed $50 of the money, which
he laid down on the counter but he never
returned for il.

TOLEDO, Oct. 3.-Count" William
Rehberg one Of the wealthiest owners of
Lake Erie Islands, died at his home on Mid

berg his intimate friend, called on him AT
the State Capitol. He was on his way tc
Europe and his trip WAS 20 be a princely
one In the conversation with Gov. Foster
Mr. Rehberg stated that the only thing he
lacked to make his trip an enjoyable one
was title, as that was a passport 10 any
thing in Europe.
Governor Foster volunteered 10 confer the
title of count" on him. The offer was ac-
nepted. The governors secretary made out
ihe commission and the paper was taken
% the secretary OF state. Here the great
seal of the State was put on it, and MIR
Rehberg left the Office a full -fiedged count.
He admitted on his return that the title
was perfectly satisfactory, and he had al
says borne the honor with dignity. Count

prominent in the financial and social circles
Of the State
