The world is full of problems, of
which not the least harassing to the
average individual is how to make the
most of money with the least capital.
The sole capital of the majority is
either brains or Drawn at the begin
ming of lifes struggle, and he who
exercises either or both to the best ad-
vantage is the winner in the strife.
In Brooklyn is located financial
institution which has excited the Curl
osity, not to say the establishment, of
financial circles. 1t has been the OBJ
ject of envy, Of bitter denunciation by
rivals, of press criticism, and yet it
keeps on in the even tenor of its way,
and rigid and thorough investigation
has failed to discover one single case
of default in it's promises, although
these promises are so Numerically
opposed to ordinary financial theories
and experience as to seem absolutely
impossible. Herein reference is made
to the Franklin Syndicate, of No. IA
Floyd street, Brooklyn, of which
William F. Miller is the highly eff
cient manager.
At the age of twenty-five, Mr. Miller
developed taste for speculation, and
showed such acumen in that direction
that a number of his friends formed a
pool, placed the money in his hands
and authorized him to use 1t to the
best advantage in Wall street. Not
being a member of any exchange, he
operated through brokers in whom he
had confidence, himself directing the

While conwersing with him the mail

continual click of numerous typewrit-

In fact, during the conversation a
call came for the withdrawal of a $50

TYPEWRITER THAT SPELLS.

OF course, if DR.. Frank A. Traver of
that will write out what is spoken into
a photograph attachment as is report
ed, it naturally follows that the type
writer must know how to spell But
how can it know how to spell? In these
days of wonderful inventions, one
doesn't like to say that anything is i'm
possible, but it certainly would be inter-
esting to learn how typewriter is to
know from the pronunciation whether
an IS" or a soft &C. is required, or
when to use "ph" instead of az" And
if the spelling is entirely phonetic, how
about the different methods Of pronun-
citation? If the infection of the voice
is to decide the spelling, will not peo-
pie in different parts of the country
find themselves INDEPENDENTLY spell
ing words differently? The man who
says II cawn't" into the photograph
attachment surely will not get the same
results as the man who says II cahn't"
This naturally brings one to the sub
ject of dialect. II the machine is guild
ed entirely by sound, why should it not
write dialect better than the best of
dialect story writer's? And if 1t does,
just think what a boon it will be! No
two dialect writer's now use exactly the
same system of spelling in the effort to
reproduce the words of their characters,
and with many words no one can say
positively exactly what letters are
needed to convey the right idea of the
sound. The new machine, of course.
will change all this. 1t will give brogue,
for instance, exactly as spoken, and
thus will provide a key that will en-
able any one to write it in the future.

Join in Celebration.
Boston, Nov. 18.-The students of the
two universities owned every public
place in Boston tonight. They ran
things about as they wanted, and the
attendant results in many instances
were ludicrous in the extreme. The
theatres swarmed with wearers of the
crimson and blue, and there was more
burlesque in the seats than across the
footlights.
The hotels were full of bowling col
leglans and their friends, while the
streets, down town, usually deserted,
were as lively as a night before the
Fourth What would have happened
had either team won, can only be con-
jectured Best of all in the celebra-
ton tonight there was no friction be-
tween Yale and Harvard men. They
fraternized everywhere, and kept the
sport bubbling hot until midnight. AS
usual, Cambridge was deserted, for ev-
cry Harvard man had planned his
nights outing in anticipation Of vic
tory and, although there was no score
to gloat over, they carried out their
program to it's most enjoyable extent.

THE CONFEDERATE REUNION.

Charleston, 5. c., where the first
guns of the great civil war were fired
more than thirty-eight years ago, is
now the Mecca toward which thOus-
ands of Confederate soldiers are
moving to participate in the ninth an
nual reunion ofthe United Confederate
Veterans. For months the people of
Charleston have been earnestly labor
ing to make the reunion a success.
From all accounts the beautiful old
city is ready to receive the thousands
of guests who will flock to her. and
the record of Charleston is sufficient
guarantee that they will be treated
royalty. Many of the distinguished
Confederate commanders have pass
ed over the riycr,' but there are
others remaining who will particle
pate in the proceedings, including
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS John B. Gordon,
Wade Hampton, A. p. Stewart and
Joseph Wheeler. Gen. Fizthugh Lee,
who is always star attraction on
such occasions, will not be present,
as he is now serving his country as
commander of a military district in
Cuba. The rank and file of the Con-
federate army, from Maryland to
Texas and from Missouri to Florida,
will be represented. A spacious and
beautiful auditorium, with seating
capacity of 1000, has been erected
by the citizens of Charleston, and
here the sessions of the convention
will be held, and ample accommodate
tions are provided for all veterans
who NAV attend. The number of
Confederate Veterans camps is in
creasing rapidly. When the re-
union was held in Atlanta, in July
last, there We're 1920 camps; now
there are more than 800, and their
total membership is far greater than
the number of organized Confederate
veterans one year ago. All
will join in the hope that the visit of
| the Confederate veterans to Charles
ton may prove most enjoyable one
in all respects, and that they may
have safe return to their homes

yIcE.PREsIDENT SHERWOOD.

The Baltimore Steam Packet Co.
announces the election of Mr.. John
Z. Sherwood to the Office of vice
president of the company. Mr..
Sherwood is also general manager of
the company, and has been con-
nected with it since 1869. The COM
pany is one Of the Oldest operating
steamers on the inland waters of
this country, and has been one OF
the landmarks of Chesapeake Bay,
il it may be termed such. Mr..
Sherwood's energy and ability have
placed him in his present position,
as he began service in subordinate
capacity. His ideas in marine
architecture have been shown in the
construction of the fine steamers
which comprise the fleet of the Old
Bay Line, for many of them, includ'
ing the well-known Alabama, were
designed almost exclusively after his
plans. He was also instrumental in
designing the extensive docks which
the Old Bay Line will use on Light
Street. Baltimore, in a few months
in addition to its present wharves al
Union Dock. The selection of Mr.
Sherwood as vice-president shows
that the company appreciates his
value as an official, and is a merited
tribute to his long devotion to its
interests.
