COL. JOHN 8. MOSBY, FAMOUS
RAIDER, TURNS EER
Inventor of the Phrase "Solid south
Predicts Great Things for the
Southern States.

NEW YORK, March 31.-In it's forthcom-
ing issue Leslie's Weekly will print a paper
by Col. John S. Mosby, the famous Con-
federate raider. on 1.-THE Dawn OF the
Real South, in which ne says:
The real South is just at its birth. The
growth of this child OF the Nation may
be gradual, but in the end the South will
be far richer and more powerful than the
North. In the days to come the South
will become the dominant section of the
country.
Without the war of secession the South
could never have hoped 10 attain the fu-
ture that is now certain. Slavery was a
great incubus, paralyzing natural energy.
BY abolishing this wrong our war benefited
every State south of the Mason and Dixon
line. The negroes are producing more as
free men than they ever aid as slaves.
and the great mass of the people are vast
ly better OF to-day than they were under
the old ante-bellum system.
Socially. as well as industrially, the
i'm its results to the masses, for slavery
was a great wrong and no community
can exist in the highest state of happiness
When its system is based on wrong.
There are the soundest reasons for as
sorting that the negroes status is bound
to improve. While they are not as near
under the system OF slavery, they are GER
tain TO be absorbed by immigration, and
in this engulfment they will disappear.
This is the natural and wisest solution
VI
Richmond is the city most likely to
become in time the banking center and
commercial headquarters of this country
and therefore of the world. The days Of
that famous old city as a political capt.
tai are past. but its career as the CEN
trail point of manufacture for the whole
South, and from there for the world at
large is just beginning.
While great forces have been working
for the change industrially and socially the
| political change is hardly less marked. 1t
is we'll nigh folly to-day to speak of the
solid South That, by the way, was a
phrase of my own invention. When Hayes
became the Republican candidate for Pres
ident L urged Cir a letter Aug. /, 1870, that
il was better for some Southern men to
| support him because, IL he were elected. his
administration must necessarily rest on
whatever supported II. 1t was better for
the Southern people to divide between the
parties, so that no matter which side won,
there would be men friendly to South
ern people who would control its Southern
policy. This contention is fully realized
to-day, and the solid South belongs wholly
| TO the political past"

100000 FOR A PATENT.
Standard Oil Company VIII Purchase
"a G~as-siaking Device.

SALT LAKE. Utah. March 31.-The
standard Oil Company has agreed 10 pay
$5,O0O,ON for a patent controlled by Salt
Lake men. The invention is a device TO
convert petroleum into a gas that produces
intense heat and light at a cost much
smaller than by any other known process.
The invention has been tested publicly
in Salt Lake and has worked satisfactorily.
The light is stronger than the electric arc
or calcium, and the tests are said to show
thai as much heat can be obtained by this
method from a barrel of crude oil as is
ordinarily obtained from a carload of coal.
The deal was closed in New York by ex-
Senator Frank J. Cannon and Judge r.. +.
Colborn. The other local men interested
have received kilograms announcing that
the terms have been agreed on, although
the papers have not all been signed. w. \.
Nelden. a wholesale druggist. one of the
directors in the ompany controlling the
patent. is now on his way TO New York 10
be present at the final transfer. The patent
is controlled by a corporation known as
the New Light, Heat and Power Company.
The principal stockholders are the Walker
brothers, private bankers, and Messrs.
Cannon, Nelden and Colborn.
TIL company acquired from Albert
Hayes the inventor. the control of the in
$4,000 for perfecting the patents in all the
great countries of the world. The patent
I'm the United States was applied for last
year and issued last week.
The Standard Oil Company is said TO con-
template pushing the invention solely as a
heat generator. as the light can be gener-
ated with so little oil that il would cut
down sales. As a heat generator it is ex-
pected to supplant coal largely. as ii is
far superior. The apparatus used for this
purpose costs about $3.50 and forces the
burning gas into sprays OF water which is
itself decomposed in gases, adding TO the
heating mower.

The record OF the Fifty-sixth Congress
is now practically completed. and while ir
has done many things that we, as Demo-
Gratis, believe should have been left un-
done, and failed TO enact those measures
that should have been enacted, IL has. on
the whole. been a successful session and
in many respects is worthy Of emulation.
1t has done things. There has not been
a great waste OF time, debates
and no action. The Republican party
did not hesitate to enact party measures
and assume the responsibility for them. IL
met new questions. took a position and did
what IL could to demonstrate that IL was
right. Then IL acted. IL may have acted
Ia an unwise manner. but IL was far better
than inaction.
In this respect IL should be a lesson 10
Democracy. When the Democrats hal
control OF the government they acted a.
though hey did not know what 10 do with
IL and frittered away the time in useless
auarreling among themselves. The Repub-
hcans don't do this. They force their men
10 get In line or get out OF the party. They
allow no one man or set OF men TO clog
the wheels Of government machinery.
We may sheer at the Republican praC-
tees. but so long as the people are divided
into political parties there must be a unity
OF action within each party or inertia. One

less there be a head 20 the Organization to
direct it's course and prevent the useless

the Democratic party realizes this. and
that when IT next comes into power IL win

THE OUTRAGE AT BREMEN.
investigation of the Cause Not Yet
COnpIeted-TwO Theories.

BERLIN, March is the highest
authority for the statement that the in
vestigation into the causes of the attack
upon Emperor William by Dietrich Wei
land. in Bremen. has not yet been con-
cluded, but is still being vigorously pushed.
The imperial court at Leipsic, which alone
can try cases of high treason, has sent
two officials to Bremen TO assist in the in
with a view to clearing up three points not
yet explained, namely, what company
Weiland regularly frequented before the
attempt, whether he received orders from
p~lotters. particularly Anarchists, Social
lists or Anglophobes, TO carry out the at
tempt, having also in view what has be-
come OF the suspicious individuals who
were seen near him just before it was
made, and what weapon was used by
Weland or by some other person. Evil
dence tending to throw light Upon these
points has been accumulated, but Ii is too
slight to warrant indictment.
Inc question whether Weiland actually
threw a piece of iron, as was at first al
legged. or some one fired a shot from an
air rifle is still unanswered to the salts
1actlon or the authorities. Emperor Will
liam inclineS to the air rifle theory. while
his physicians think a piece Of iron was
thrown. The Emperor is also convinced
that Weiland was a tool, and in this con-
viction he is sustained by his encourage.
Immediately after the preliminary investi-
cation is closed the evidence will be sent
10 the imperial court at LeipSic, whose
president will come to Lerlin at Eastertide
10 confer with Herr Won Schoenstedt, Prus-
sian minister OF justice, and with the i'm

He stood on the corner OF State and Row
land streets yesterday afternoon. His gray
hair and wrinkled face showed plainly the
ravages OF time. but as he stood his gaze
seemed TO be fastened on a window In an
adjacent building. For a few seconds he
seemed totally oblivious TO his surround
ings. Then his face broke into a kindly
smile. he took from his pocket a large red
handkerchief. waved il slowly and then
gracefully DOTTED his hat. The newspaper
mar followed the direction Of the old mans
glance. and there In the third story win
dow sat a kindly-faced. ~gray-haired old

dainty blush. which for the second COM
pletely hid the burrows OF time and care.

GOT BACK HIS COLOR.
-.cgro Who Had turned White
Changed to Black Again.

WASHINGTON, March 31.-It is not an
uncommon thing for a negro TO turn white
in spots. but to restore the lost color by
the use Of a tincture made from a sheep is
a new achievement OF science. A case
which has just been treated with mar
velous success in this city was tina Of a
man named William c. Taylor. DR.. j. II.
Metzerott, a ~well-known Washington
physician, had the man in charge. The
disease has hitherto been thought incur
able. and this case is probably the only
one of its kind in the world in which medi-
cines restored a mans natural color.
Taylor is a nan of light brown COM
plexion, and a short while ago he noticed
that his hands had begun to turn pure
white, the color appearing in big blotches.
Consultation with DR.. Metzerott developed
the fact that he was suffering from a
disease of the skin believed 10 be incur
able and known as vitelego, which results
from an unequal distribution of the pig
ment throughout the skin. Diagnosis had
shown in other cases that such a disease
was the result of a deadened or diseased
condition of an organ known as the supra
renal capsule, whose chief function seems
TO be to properly distribute the coloring
matter throughout the system.
DR.. Metzerott concluded that doses OF a
solution made from the supra-renal cap
sule Of a healthy sheep would put the I'M
healthy organ of the man in proper con-
dition so that it would function correctly,
distribute the pigment evenly and the
natural tint be thus restored. The doctors
views proved to be right. Photographs of
TaylOr's hands taken before he began TO
take the sheep solution show the fingers.
upper part of the hand and palm snow
white, the lower area being brown. These
photographs were preserved TO show the
progress of the case and were taken every
short while by DR.. Havell. whose charge
is the electrical laboratory of the office.
At present Taylor's hands are the same
uniform brown tint as they were years
ago, and the restoration is due alone to the
administration of the medicine made from
a sheep. Many white men are troubled
with the skin turning brown in spots, and
| this will be cured In future by administra-
tions of this medicine. for which a new
use has been discovered.
