A Dozen Suggestions Giver
to Graduates of Girard
College.

Girard College has turned out some
of the brainest men in the country ,ant
each one of them started to shift foi
himself with dozen suggestions
three suits Of clothing and a situation
Here are the suggestions:
/. Be punctual. Never be a min.
ute late arriving at your place of bus
mess, but often five or ten minutes
early.
2. Make your employers interes
your interest. Aim to do your task
in the best manner possible. Be sure
that you understand your employer
wishes, and then do your best to COM
ply with them.
3. Do your work cheerfully. A
cheerful spirit and agreeable manners
please not only your employer, but all
with whom you have occasion to asso-
ciate.
4. Do your work promptly. Get
through with as much work as posi-
BILE in the early part of the day. AL
ways see that half an hours work is
done in half an hour.
8. Do not be disheartened at diff
culties. 1t is not likely that you will
at first be entirely pleased with any
position. All beginnings are difficult
Give the place trial of one month az
least before you decide against it; and
however much you may dislike your
employment, let not your dislike show
itself in indifference or inattention tc
your duties.
6. Be not given to much talking
Do not discuss your own affairs or
your family affairs with strangers.
Never critlcise your employer or your
associates.
Z. When your own special task for
any day is light and not sufficient to
keep you busy, do not fail to offer
your assistance to others. This will
serve to create a friendly feeling be-
tween you and your associates.
8. This is busy age. Everybody
is hurrying Much is done in a short
time, Therefore move briskly and step
lively If you hope to meet the expecta-
tions and approval of your employer.
8. There will be times when you
will need to remain on duty after
hours. Do not murmur or show any
displeasure on such occasions. Ac-
ceut the situation bsavely, and work
with increased earnestness.
10. Always keen in mind self-im-
provement Learn wherever and what
ever you can. Make yourself worthy
OF promotion by the manner you i'm
prove your work. One way to improve
yourself is to study carefully the
methods and habits of the successful
business men whom you see and met.
IL. Improve your leisure hours by
careful reading. In order to command
respect, a young man must know
something of the world and its daily
life, its public affairs and its public
men. To be able to converse intelll-
gently. you must read not only the
daily papers, but also good literature.
~. Be scrupulously honest in all
Prize a noble character above every
thing else, and let no one ever tempt
you 10 do a mean act.

GOVERNMENT
Proceeding inthe Matter Of the New
Dam at Marietta.

Mr.. W. Fl. Chadbourn. an engineer
in Uncle Sans employ, with head
quarters at Cincinnati, arrived in Ma
rietta yesterday. having come down
from Wheeling.
Mr.. Chadbourn is here to make the
surveys of the lands abutting the site
of the dam, and to make the arrange
ments for passing the lands from the
ownership of private parties to that of
the Government.
1t is expected that on the West Vir-
ginia shore, which is owned by the
Hendersons, the Government will pur-
chase strip of ground quarter of a
mile both above and below the dam,
and from the edge of low water to the
top OF the river bank. On the Ohio
side of the river the Government ex-
poets to buy from Col Moore a strip
extending a quarter of a mile each side
OF the proposed dam. and running
back 400 feet, which will take it across
the county road and the B. & o. S. w.
tracks. The idea of owning this strip
is so that tracks may be laid for the
purpose of aiding construction.
Mr.. Chadbourn expects to proceed
with his work at once and he thinks
he will have completed his task within
two weeks.
When asked about what we might
expect in the realization of active
dam building, Mr.. Chadbourn stated
that he was unable to predict just
when activities might begin, but the
Governments next move would be to
advertise for bids on the work and it
would be reasonable to suppose that
the realization of active work would
follow soon.

A Strange Find.

Last winter the steamer H. X. Bed
ford ran through herself and threw
one of her pitmans, piston and piston
head overheard. She was compelled
to go to the bank for repairs, of course
and no thought was ever given to the
stuff thrown overheard. Last week as
the steamer Keystone State was going
along about Fish Creek, her pilot, Day
ton Randolph, saw something unusual
on the bottom of the river. He stop
ped his boat, and, although the water
was feet deep, he could clearly dis
cern steamboat Ditman, piston and
piston head, Recalling the accident to
the H. X. Bedford, he notified the
owner of that boat, and upon the Bed
ford going to the place indicated, she
found the machinery as described by
Captain Randolph.-Cin. Com. Trib.

Edison,s Patents Expiring

Seven patents OF Thomas A. Edison
expired and became public property
last week. These patents were the re-
suit OF busy days and sleepless nights
for Mr.. Edison away back in 1882, at
MEMO Park. Millions Of dollars have
been made out of them for the various
corporations that have operated upon
the Edison systems, and now the gem
eral public has stepped into its Inherit
ance from the inventor.
Four of the patents which have ex-
pired were in the field of electric
lighting. Mr.. Edison was the first to
devise the system of electric lighting
In which the main circuit carried a
continuous current of high tension
connected with consumption circuit
of low tension and the translating de-
vices in multiple-arc, together with an
intermediate induction apparatus for
reducing the tension of the current.
The three other patents in electric
lighting which have expired were for
the perfecting of the incandescent
lamp.
The three patents of Edison bearing
upon dynamos which expired were the
invention which has the well-known
movable commutator brushes with
hand-operated adjustment devices
therfor; second, that which made con-
nections with the dynamo field magnet
coil, a dynamo regulator.
Mr.. Edison when asked what effect,
if any, the expiration of these patents
would have in a commercial way upon
the electrical world, said:
II guess it is all true enough that
these patents have expired, but as to the
effect it will have | can make no state
ment that would be clear or readily
understood.
81 deny that I have had any monop-
oily with them or with any patents
ever secured. An inventor has ne
show these days. The moment he in
vents something that is an epocf
marker in the world of commerce OF
science there are pirates who spring
up on all sides to contest his right t
his ideas. These pirates can readil.
get millions at their back. They go t.
the Courts and enjoin the invento
from using his own creation.
THE inventor always gets the wors
of it in the courts, even though he ma,
hold in his hand the patent from tn
United States Government.
Take that little incandescent lamp
| fought for that in the courts of thi
country IA years, and my associate
and l spent $1,0O0,000 trying to estab
lish my claims to it which had bee
vouched for by the Patent Office. A
the expiration of the IA years ther
were but three years left for the paten
to live.
II am not saying this in humor O
complaint, for l can make money any
how. But it is a miserable system W
have in this country that cuts tn
poor man out of his invention.
