INVENTIONS OF MANY KINDS.
Two More Patents Granted to Corae-
Illus Vanderbilt.

Cornelius Vanderbilt has received two
more patents, one for draft gear for
railway rolling stock and another for n
car truck. Mr.. Vanderbilt has secured
other railway patents. the most notable
being for q firebox.
The development of automobiles has
spurred the inventors, and patents are
being taken out for hubs, wheels, tires,
engine protectors wagon bodies, storage
batteries. and many other appliances used
in the construction of automobiles. The
most novel of these is a patent for a
motor which is to take the place of a
horse. 1t is shaped like a box and mount
ed on four wheels. and runs in front of the
wagon or buggy. 1t is designed to be
managed by the use of reins as the horse
is guided.
The Buffalo Exposition and tn organiza-
tion of the Order of the Buffaloes are
responsible for many designs in pins and
other insignia One genius registered a
design for ladies' stocking. plain white

with charging buffaioes.

on an acetylene life-preserver in the form
belt is cast into the sea the belt can te
inflated with gas by admitting little
water to the store of acetylene, which Is
supposed to last for hours.
A man in Lockport. Ill, finding 1t con-
sumed considerable time and energy to
place tacks under a hammer, took out a
patent for a magazine hammer, the tacks
being loaded into the handle of the ham,
| mer like shells into magazine gun.
The movement in certain churches
toward individual communion cups has
brought out patent by John G. Thomas,
of Lima, Ohio, for an Individual COM
munion service consisting of silver cups
! arranged about a silver tray. The patent
is on the tray.
E. A. Green, of Brooklyn. is the pat
entee of that rema rkable gravity railway

the air. The patent was granted last
week. The road starts like the ordinary
| switchback or scenic railroad and then

REJECTED FOR PROMOTION.
Lieutenant Hartrath, Z. s. NJ, De-
cInred Morally Disqualified.

For the first time in many years naval
examining board has reported that an
officer is morally disqualified for promo
ton. The officer in question, Lieut.. Armin
Hartrath. is said to be one of the bright
est men in the service. He was in the
Engineers Corps when Congress provided
for the transfer of its officers to the line,
and the board which examined him for a
line commission expressed the opinion
that he was not qualified for moral rea-
sons to remain in the service.
Secretary Long has approved the board 8
report, and recommended to the President
that Lieutenant Hartrath be dropped
from the naval list with a years pay, as
provided by law.
Lieutenant Hartrath entered the Naval
Academy from Michigan in 1884. Since
April, 1901. he has been attached to the
receiving ship Independence, stationed at
the Mare Island Navy Yard, California.

NEW ORDERS TO MAIL AGENTS.
The Postmaster General Aims to
Improve the Rural Service.

Postmaster General Smith yesterday
issued two orders. the first of which re-
lated to the custom of rural mail agents
acting as agents. statesmen. etc, and
which was as follows:
Hereafter rural letter carriers shall not
act as agents. statesmen. or solicitors for
express companies, letter box manufac-
turers. wholesale houses, corporations. or
firms. nor engage in any business or avo-
cation which would interfere with the
proper performance of their official duties.
They may act as news agents, sell news
papers or periodicals on their own account,
or accept and collect subscriptions Tor the
same. When carriers receive newspapers
or periodicals by express or by other
means outside the mails. to be sold or
delivered on their routes. they. as news
agents. will be required to pay postage on
such matter at the second-class rate of
postage q cent per pound}, except in the
case Of county papers. which are mailed
free to subscribers residing in the county
in which they are published
This order is not intended to prohibit
carriers from performing various private
commissions for the accommodation of
the patrons on their routes, 50 long as ii
does not interfere with the regular and
proIrpt performance of their duties"
Tic second order Is in reference to box
delivery by star route carriers. In
the order Postmaster General Smith says
that box delivery by star route carriers
will not hereafter be permitted over such
portions of star routes as may have in
operation the rural free delivery service:
provided, however that an additional and
supplemental box delivery may be per-
formed by star route carrier when shown
TO be necessary and practicable and not
involving the department in any addi-
tional expenditure
In those States in which the star route
box delivery is now in operation the rural
free delivery service will not hereafter be
established over anyiroad which must
continue to be trayersed as a part of a
star route. except in special and unfav-
orable cases, In which cases the star
rntte bOx delivery will he "a ha ndonef

Lack of Bidders Causes Sale at Less
Than Appraised Value.

The War Department has accepted the
offer of 100000. made by the Merchants
and Miners Steamship Company, OF Bal
timore, for the transport Rawlins. This

COFFEE DOES NOT WANT IT.
Climate Is Not Healthy for Negro
Colony, They Say.

Douglas Ga, April 26.-The negro colo
nization scheme for Coffee county, pur-
porting to be organizing in Waycross, to
locate twelve miles west of Douglas, on
lands of Peter Vickers, wealthy Coffee
county negro, is taken by Coffee county
people with a goodly allowance of salt.
In the first place it is very doubtful if
bellum negroes left, and has made money
and friends by attending to his own bust
ness and keeping out of politics, owns
1900 acres of round timber in one body.
The tax books do not show it. In the
second place, Peter Is too shrewd a
trader to sell his round timbered land for
$50 per acre, when the timber alone, for
turpentine saw mill and crosstie pur-
poses, would yield him that amount with
the land left out. In the third place, COZ
fee county has now a surplus OF import
ed coons, from which our Jail and chain
gang is filed and then the climatic IN
fiuence renders Coffee a very unhealthy
county for a "nigger" colony to locate
in, and should the scheme materiallze'
the corbuers office would be one OF the
best pa ying ones in this section, and there
would be applicants galore for that Of
flee. No, Coffee county is not yet ready
to be Africanized.
Mrs. Frank l.. Sweat Is seriously Ill.
There will be a big railroad meeting in
Douglas next Tuesday. Our merchants
and capitalists are keenly alive to the
great necessity of competitive freight
rates. and that means that the railroad
from Douglas to the river will be built
at an early date.

marched around to the home of Gen. j.

now nearly 80 years old, and being too
feeble to participate, his old comrades
marched around and gave him a welcome
which plainly showed that he still holds
a dear place in their hearts.
