THEATERS BEGIN
NEXT WEEK.

All of the arrangements for the
opening of the Theater season Of 1902
? will be completed this week. Man
ager Seeskind will arrive Friday from
Virginia, where he has been spending
the summer with Mrs. Seeskind and
the announcements for the season will
be made upon his arrival. The repairs
week. There will be no changes in
the staff of employees and the same
force will be at the Theater this year
that has been there for several years.
Mr. Sammie Brown of this city, who
has been spending his three weeks va
cation at home with his parents, Mr..
street, west, will leave tomorrow on
the Kansas City for New York, where
his company is rehearsing a new play,
Lost in the Desert" The first per-
Torrance will be given in Waterbury.
Conn.,. Sept. g. after which the COM
pany will return to New York and play
a week at the Grand Opera House. 1t
will then make tour of Boston, Phil
adelphia and other. large cities.
Mr.. Sammie Brown is we'll known as
an actor of juvenile parts, and in Lost
in the Desert" plays Hank Pretty, a
sailor boy in which he does his spe-
cialties in dancing and singing. His
many friends in Savannah wish his
every success, and he deserves sue
cess, as he is painstaking actor and
clever in his profession and in social
life.
1t appears that the use of theatrical
Autographs will shortly be thing of the
past as far as high-classed attractions
are concerned. An attempt was lately
made by Frank j. and Claxton Will
stach, managers of Miss Adelaide
Thurston, who appears here later in
the season in "At Cozy Corners" to
bring about the cooperation of the
atrical managers looking toward the
abolition of Autographs. All the lead
ing managers are in complete accord
on this subject, they having come to
the conclusion that this feature of the
atrical advertising has become an I'M
necessary burden. The trouble seems
to lie in getting someone sufficiently
courageous to make the first "break
away" Less poster paper is being
used from year to year, and instead
of the wild profusion" of cheap pa
per, such managers as George C. Ty-
Ter of Liebler & Co.. Frank ]. and
Claxton Wilstach, managers of AIDE
laide Thurston, Kirke LaShelle and
George S. McFadden, manager of S.
Miller Kent in 1.-THE Cowboy and the
Lady" have cut down their orders
and increased the artistic quality. The
idea is to do away with Autographs
almost entirely, and depend upon news
papers as a means of advertising.
Among the more important events
on the local stage this season will be
the joint appearance of Louis James
and Frederick Warde in the early part

Boston, Aug. ia series of expert
ments with so-called fireproof woods
that was made in the heat laboratory
of the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology a few days ago was the
first practical work of the new school
of insurance engineering, the estab
lishment of which has excited so much
interest throughout the country. The
tests were conducted by Prof. Charles
L. Norton of the Institute and several
assistants, the insurance engineering
school being especially represented by
Mr.. Edward Atkinson, who is it's d.
rector.
To begin with, samples of different
kinds of wood in their natural state
and after treatment by various fire
proofing processes were held in the
flame of a Bunsen burner which gave
a heat approximating $500 degrees
Fahrenheit In a general way the
prepared wood burned less freely while
it was in the blaze and glowed a shor-
ter time after it was taken out of 1t,
but in the end both kinds showed
about equal consumption. Fireproofed
pine suffered less percentage of con-
sumption than plain pine-a proper
tionately greater difference than was
shown by oak. The best of the pre-
pared samples lost all trace of flame
within from l to 10 seconds after being
removed from above the burner, while
those in their natural state continued
10 blaze, and afterwards to glow, for
some minutes.
A test to determine the comparative
length of time In which two gftclea

other non-hreproof. would burn
through showed that. IN general, the
treated wood lasted about a minute
longer. When subjected 10 heat In a

INTEREST ON DEPOSITS.
The Bank Of Wayne Inaugurates
the Payment Of Interest on
Time Deposits

An advertisement appears in the
ARGUS to-day that is of great mo-
ment to the people of Goldeboro and
this section, and we hail it with
deep gratifica ton, for we realize all
it signifies of present prosperity and
greater growth for our community.
We refer to the announcement by
the Bank of Wayne that on and after
this date it will, by special, contract,
pay interest on time deposits.
The ARGUS has long claimed that
if the idle capital held III large or
small amounts by individual citizens
in this city and section could be
pooled and utilized in the aggregate
greater things than we have yet
plished for GOldsboro; and now the
Bank of Wayne, that is ever gener-
GUS in fostering the progress of our
people, by its offer of interest on in
dividual deposits, under time con-
tract, brings this possibility within
the radius Of realization; and at the
same time the Individual knows that
his money is absolutely safe, while
adding its momentum to the ma
terial development and general pros
perity of the community.
This offer by the Bank of Wayne
means, too, not only the bringing to-
gether and the putting into circula-
ton the individual capital of the
frugal citizens of our community and
section who have hitherto held their
savings at home, but it means also
the bringing back to G0!dsborO much
money that has gone elsewhere on
deposit for the very interest paid
there that the Bank Of Wayne has
now inaugurated.
About thirty years ago, when the
editor ofthe ARGUS was buta boy, the
banking business was begun in
Goldsboro by Mr.. E. b. Bor-
den, the president of the Bank
of Wayne. Goldsboro was little
more than q hamlet then; but
with the intervening years that bank
has gone right along growing strong
er and stronger each year, and
at the same time assisting
large numbers of farmers with
loans, as needed in their crops,
helping the merchants in stringent
times of trade, throwing its protect
ing arms around and encouraging
every factory ever built in Colds
boro, until they are all today pros
porous, and far-reaching in their
trade. These are facts known of all
men who ale acquainted with the
history Of Goldsboro; hence, natur-
ally, every citizen in our home city
is proud of the Bank of Wayne.
Always alive to the welfare of
Goldsboro, ever energetic and pro-
gressive, and ever conscious of the
fact that the general welfare and
prosperity Of its community are the
mud sills of all permanent prosper
ity to both individuals and institu-
tions, thoroughly embedded in the
confidence of the general public and
the business world, this old bank,
with more than half million dol
lars, needs only to make the an
nouncement herein referred to for
results to follow quickly. What it
means for 'sGreater GOIdsboro'' cam
not be recounted here. It will be
better realized in seeing.
We go forward.

IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.

In noticing that 1.-The Belgian hare

ism have ALI passed off the stage OF &C

the greatest delusion''

| Referring to the insignificant sum OF

Clinton Herald suggests that When
compared with the other appropria-

like Joke than paragraph of a gov

in suggestions worthy the serious con-
sideration of the legislature"

shooting contests" remarks the Rock

"Other states may be afraid of their
legislatures, but Iowa elects the right
kind of senators and representatives
and then goes about it's daily business
without apprehension according to the
Burlington Hawkeye's observation.
The Cedar Rapids Republican OBJ
serves that There was never time in
the history of the state when more APP

Money in the bank is always signal
for expenditures to commence. The
people collectively are much like the

drawn from it is not TO accumulate a
surplus, but to make the tax levies con-

Richard lips Coronation Robe.
ILondon Chronicle. ]


While mems minds, as well as wom-
ems are turned coronation robes and
kindred splendors, 1t is interesting to
compare the old with the new fash
ions. The description of the costume
Worn by Richard III. at his GROWING
and ordered by himself was, according
to list still extant, composed of "a
doublet made of two yards and quar-
ter and a half of blue clothe OF gold,
wrought with netts and pyne apples,
with a stomacher of the same, lined DON
ell of Holland clothe. and con ell Of
Dusk instede of green cloth of gold, and
a longe gown for to ryde in, made of
eight yerds of p'pul velvet furred with
tymbres and half and thirteen banks
of ermyn, and four tym'bres, seventeen
GOODIES of ermyns powdered with $500
of powderings made of Doggy shanks,
and the exacting meaning of the old
wording would make a pretty task for
scholars the day before King Edward
Wis amounting. But the long gown

day.

WIRELESS 1eLseaApHY SUCCESSFUL.

The usefulness of the Marconi system
of wireless telegraphy has been so iuiis
demonstrated recently by the big ocean
steamers as to show even the most
skentical that 1t ia of practical value.
That is the test to which all utiiitarians
subject anything new under the sun.
Tn nroof OF 1t. communications or mes
sares we're sent and constantly kept up
from ship to ship fifty or more miles
apart. and voyagers made a practicai
test of 1t by sending messages ahead to
friends of their coming, TO be trans
mitted to their homes by telegraph
from the shore.
In recent banquet givenby the Amer
lean Institute of Electrical Engineer
ing in New York, at which Guglieimo
Marconi, the inventor of this new form
of telegraphy was a guest OF homer, ne
made some important statements of
what has already been accomplished.
Reference to 1t may be found elsewhere
in the T.-R.. Five years ago the Mar
conf system was working over dis
lance of two miles, but it's range has
been rapidly increased. About two
months ago 1t was possible to commun-
icate over distance of 600 miles. A re-
cent attempt to transmit messages a
greater distance, across the Atlantic,
was not successful, chiefly as Marconi
forts were Interfered with by an ocean
cable company which claimed to have
the right of way for all kinds of mes
sages ever the ocean, and which threat
ened him with injunction suits. A GER
tain commercial application of the sys-
tenn has already been reached, chiefly in
England, which is the home of the in
ventor.
Marconi claims that he has perfected
plan to prevent the stealing of mes
sages BY notifications of the original
system it has been found possible 30 to
ADJUST one tranSHltteF 10 one receiver
as to make it practically impossible or
at least very difficult for any one not
acquainted with the particular tone of
the wave to decipher the message.
Complaint has been made of the in
reference of these wave tones, as
against the system, but Marconi inEhis
address did not refer to this feature of
1t. Many electricians who nave investi-
gated the system feel confident that it
will come into practical use. One great
advantage in its favor, as stated by the
inventor, is its inexpensiveness as COM
pared with cable messages, feature

render its conclusions more just and GER
tain. He is in hearty accord with the
proposal to make railroad assessments
in July instead of March, when the exec

also believes the executive council
