The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1902-01-22

THERE is i possibility that if the
Republicans capture the next Leg
islature there will be numerous
bills passed aiming at reform in
nearly every department. ia the
State. One OF these reforms it Ia
said, will be the creating o. pub
lie printer to be named by the Gov.
ernor The Journal speaking OF
the matter says:
"At present almost all State work
10 given out as matter OF favor,
and often offices poorly equipped
and unused to the work. turn out
botches. Occasionally there is a
bluff at making bids, when the
successful party is known in adj
vance. The State, for instance,
paid for printing the Senate Jour
nal of the last session, several han
dred dollars more than the bid OF
a competent party. A proper reg
ulation OF this matter would save
the State money and secur: proper
work.

TRADE is INCREASING.
United States Doing More Business
in Southern Countries.

Washington. April 20-Frederic En-
DRY. chief of the bureau Of foreign
commerce, made public today an in
teresting extract from that portion Of
Commercial Relations of the United
States" now in press, which deals with
our trade with Mexico, Central Amer
lea and the West Indies.
United States goods are favorably
known in Mexico, it is stated but in
certain lines, such as dry goods, hats,
shoes. notions and mems and women $
furnishings. our exporters seem to have
made practically no attempt 20 gain
the Mexican trade Americans are
more fully realizing that they must
accommodate themselves to the wants
and peculiarities OF the Mexicans, and
as a result trade is growing.
In the Danish West Indies the i'm
ports from the United States are ad-
vancing yearly, in spite of trade de
preston. In Guatemala, United States
machinery is highly appreciated,
though its delicacy Will not admit of
the ignorant handling of the Indian Ia
borer universal to the country. Three
fourths Of the imports Of Honduras
come from the United States.
In Jamaica the United States has
supplanted England in many lines Of
sale. An increasing quantity of Ameri-
can goods is being consumed in the
Dutch West Indies. The trade is good
in Hayti, though it would be improved.
it is stated. if United States merchants

granted by Europeans Three years
ago it was hardly possible to find a
shoe or hat of American make in Santo
Domingo. Now these articles are han

in other lines is increasing.

FORTUNES IN INVENTIONS.
Enormous Incomes Enjoyed by Some
Successful Patentees.

Some Of the largest fortunes appear
to have been derived from the invention
of trivialities and novelties, such as the
once popular toy known as Dancing
Jincrow." which. for several years, is
said 10 have yielded its patentee an an
nual income of upward of $4,000, The
sale Of another toy-"JOhn Gilpin''
enriched its lucky inventor TO the eX-
tent of $780, 900 a year as long as it con-
tinued to enjoy the unexpected popular
ity that greeted il when first placed
upon the market. Mr.. PlimDtOn. the
inventor Of the roller skate, made 81
OO0,O00 out of his idea, and the gentle
man who first thought of placing
rubber tip at the end of lead pencils
made quite 100000 a year by means
of his simple improvement.
When Harvey Kennedy introduced
the shoe lace he made $500, 0OO. and
the ordinary umbrella benefited six
people by as much as $4,000, 000. The
Howard patent for boiling sugar in
vacuo proved a lucrs i've investment
for the capitalists who were able to
remunerate the inventor on a colossal
scale. 1t is estimated that his income
averaged between 100000 and S250.000
per annum.
Sir Joshua Mason. the inventor of the
improved steel pen. made an enormous
fortune. and on his death English char
tiles benefited by many millions Of dol
lars. The patentee Of the pen for shad-
ing in different colors derived q yearly
income of about 5000, 600 from this in
gerioas contrivance It is stated that
the wooden bali with an elastic. at
tached yielded over So, 900 a year Many
readers viii remember a legal action
which took place some years ago, when,
in the course of the evidence. it trans
pired that the inventor Of the metal
plates used for protecting the soles and
heels of shoes from wear sold 12.00G,000
plates in 1879. and in 1881 the mum her
reached a total of Jas, 600 600. which
realized profits of Sl,150,ee0 for the year.
The lady who invented the modern
baby carriage enriched herself to the
extent of $4,000, and a young lady liV-
ing at Port Elizabeth, South Africa,
devised the simple toilet requisite
known as the Mary Anderson curling
iron. from which she derives royalties
amounting to $500 a year. 1t was the
wife OF a clergyman who designed an
improvement for the corset and made a
fortune oct Of it, The gimlet-pointed

many millions Of dollars to the clever
inventor. Miss knight. a young lady

FIREBUGS ARE ACTIVE
Many CONGREGATIONS Are Started
in Dallas About the
Same Time.

Dallas, Tex. April 20.-Two persons
were fatally injured and a property loss
of S350,000 caused by several fires
which occurred here shortly after 3
O'Clock this morning. At that hour an
alarm was turned in from the Dorsey
printing establishment and several
other alarms from different parts Of
the city were turned in in quick sue
cession. After fighting the fire for two
hours Chief Magee was Frustrated and
the command was turned over TO an
assistant. The chief was rescued from
the flames by the police and was un-
conscious for several hours, but was
later reported out OF danger. Fireman
VIII Spur was struck in the face with
a brick and fatally injured. a young
son of Chief Magee was found on the
floor Of the engine room at the central
station with d fractured skull. 1t is
supposed that the lad attempted to
slide from the bunk room to the engine
room on one of the iron poles used By
the firemen and fell TO the floor below.
He probably will die
The Dorsey Printing cOmpany's plant
was totally destroyed, the loss being
about $500, 600.
While the Dorsey FIRE Was in prog
ress d fire broke out on Lamar street
and twenty buildings were destroyed.
Half of them were business houses and
the remainder boarding houses and
dwellings. The Griffith Lumber COM
pany is one Of the principal losers in
that section of the city. where il is es-
timated the loss will aggregate $4,000,
OF which Griffith & Co. sustain $50. 600.
The loss of the Heating Implement
company is not accurately known.
About a dozen smaller mercantile and
manufacturing establishments were de-
strOyed.
While the two big fires were raging
a third one broke out in the residence
district of Fisher Lane, in South Dali
las, two miles distant, which destroyed
four cottages, worth 5000
Insurance men are positive that the
fire on Fisher Lane was incendiary and
the police and fire departments are
strongly inclined TO believe that all
were due to incendiaries.

DISASTROUS EARTHQUAKE.
Six Hundred People Reported Killed
in Guatemala.

New York, April 2L-The three

city Of importance ia Guatemala, and

these towns were capitals of the de
paTtments Of the same name each
bears
It is reported that 500 persons were
killed in QuesaltenangO, but the rumor
lacks confirmation. The exact loss Of
life cannot now be ascertained- News
of the destruction which extended 100
miles along the western part of the
republic. is coming in slowly, because
all Of the telegraph wires are down
1t is known that Amatitlan exists no
more as a town, the seismic disturb
ance having been so great. The inhab-
itants-that is, those of the 10000 resi-
dents who escaped death in the eata-
clysm-are camping in the open air for
safety, not daring 10 return to the
ruined confines of the town. Some of
the inhabitants are building temporary

More news has been obtained about
the condition Of affairs at Amatitlan
than at Quesaltenango, as the former
is only fifteen miles south OF this city,
while the latter is more than 100 miles
to the northwest

During the remaining days of the
