There are many rejected inventions

If properly prosecuted, patents can be
obtained for most of them. Last year
we procured 243 patents in cases that
had been rejected. Those having
cases rejected or delayed, should

Close of the Entertainment Course.


The last number of the entertain
ment course furnished kinsley by
citizens committee was given at
Flohr's opera house Monday evening
by the Katharine Ridgeway Concert
Co. No entertainment ever given in
Kinsley gave people any more pleas
ure than the one given by this talented
company of artists. They are charm
ing people as well as artists in all
their work.
Mr.. Lamberson, the pianist, gave a
number from Rubenstein and another
frum Schubert. Miss Brewster has
pleasing. well-trained soprano voice,
and while suffering from a severe sore
throat, responded to the hearty en-
cores she received. Miss Ridgeway
is one of the best readers ON the plat
form. Her power is shown in the
more serious heavy work; her gift of
pleasing is equally great in the humor-
Gus selections. Mr.. Kerr, the bassO,
has n voice of wonderful sweetness:
it is clear and full of vibrant quail
ty unusual in a mans voice. His
rendition of the RomanZa by Verdi,
was enthusia stically encored. Like
the other members of the concert com
pany he was kindly in responding to
the encOres, by which the audience
manifested its pleasure.
The Graphic hopes the Katharine
Ridyeway Concert Co. may visit
Kinsley next year
The gentlemen of the lecture COM
mlttee, Messrs. II. p. ketelsOn, f. S.
MacCartney. F. p. Strong, d. a.
Baugher and f. B. Hine, are entitled
to the thanks of our people for their
continuation of the lecture course.
Packard, the first number, was fine in
his line. The committee was some
what disappointed in the Boston TEN
pie Quartette, as they were most high
ly recommended. DR.. Green, who
gave the third number, is one of the
6nes5 lecturers ON the platform in the
United States, and his lecture here
was fully appreciated by thoughtful
people It is to be hoped the commit
tee will devote some effort to obtain
ing a course for us next year.
The music lovers at the concert
Monday night suffered from the usual
number of "theater pests" who show
their appreciation of fine things by
commenting in Il whisper or audibly,
during the rendition OF Il number. to
the excessive annoyance of those who
wish to devote their attention to the
platform.
During short ,intermissiOn the
ushers handed slips to the audience
on which were printed three questions:
lD Shall we have another lecture
course? (2) How many tickets Will
you take? (3) Shall we have one or
two lectures in The course? Seventy
two votes were cast in favor of hav-
inc another course and six against.
One hundred and twenty-five tickets
were pledged. Thirty-two voted for
one lecture and thirty-siX for two
lectures in the course. Forty blanks
we're cast. indicating no preference.

Club Notes.

An unusually interesting session OF
the Woman's Club was held at the
home of Mrs. F. c. Blanchard We'd
nesday afternoon. Mrs. J. F. Marsh
had the program and her paper on
Napoleon Bonaparte was a carefully
prepared and interesting analysis OF
the character. power and personality
of this great man. She used Miss
Tarbell and Lord Rosenberg as her
authorities.
The hardest sand storm in the his
tory of Kinsley came up at the close
of the program. The friends of the
dignifed danes who compose this
staid organization would hardly have
recognized them could they have seen
the undue haste" with which they de-
parted from the Blanchard home. The
writer has vivid picture of the pres
ident and a few members tripping
quickly ~ south in company with the
high wind and the real estate and
debris from the North Pole.
A called session of the club was
held at the residence of Mrs. F. B.
Hine last Saturday to discuss the
library question. The public library
law was carefully considered and a
committee was appointed to see what
can be done in the way of getting
money from the building and loan as
sociation.

WHOLESALERS REPORT
BEEF TO Be PLENTIFUL
Many Cattle Have Arrived
and Are Being Farmed
or Slaughtered

There's more beef in this town to-
day than there has been in twenty
years." was the reply to a query made
of a local butcher as to the stock Of
meat on hand.
Cattle have come I'm freely in the
past twenty-four hours but so dull is
the market that the demand for them
is small and many are being placed in
farms. The abbatoir people received
five carloads OF Western beeves yester-
day and are killing them off as rapidly
as possible in expectation of the de-
mand for market day. Whether they
will be disposed of by local butchers.
however. is another question, as the
meat market continues duh and retail
men are not buying in large quanti-
ties. Just what the outcome of the
trouble will be is uncertain but it seems
to be generally admitted that when the
break comes someone win find a large
quantity OF live and dressed beef on
hand that viii either have to be fed
at a loss or almost given away TO

WORKHOUSE BONDS SOLO
TO DICK & ROBINSON
New York Brokers Take the
Entire Issue of SI75,ooo
at SI.o415

At the meeting Of .ae Levy Court
this morning the entire issue Of the
New Castle county workhouse bonds,
amounting to $4,000. were sold to
Dick and Robinson, Of New York. at
a premium of 4 - per cent. The court
accepted a certified check OF $500 from
the New York brokers. closing the
deal.
The last Legislature authorized the
funding of the bonds so that they could
be reissued at a greater permium.
Bids for the bonds were received year
ago, but the bidders did not offer a
large enough premium at that time.
The brokers were represented by
Watson F.. Fugua. of Philadelphia, and
j. Norris Robinson. Of this city.
Whereas, The Levy Court has re-
ceived from Messrs. Dick and Robinson,
bankers Of New York, an offer Of 104 IL
with accrued interest. for the new issue
Of Sl75,O00 of refunding workhouse
bonds.
Therefore, Be it resolved, that the
offer Of Messrs. Dick and Robinson be
and the same Is hereby accepted, and
that the bond committee be authorized
and directed to take the necessary
steps 70 can IN the present oulsidnu'
ing issue Of workhouse bonds for re-
demption and to transfer and turn

upon satisfactory payment for tn
same.
A resolution was also passed directnl
President Chandler to sign the contrac
with Dick and Robinson.
The bonds shall mature in twent,
years and shall bear interest at the rat
Of four per cent. In the law authoriz
ing the original issue no time for tn
maturity of the bonds was specified
and this made them less desirable thai
usual and was responsible for the Low
premium received.

SURPRISE At
FORD SENTIMENT
Kent County Politician Pro
tests Against Such Nomi-
nation for Governor
CHAPTER OF SECRET HISTORY
Dover, Del. July is. 1904.


To the Editor Of the Evening Journal.
/ am a little bit surprised TO see by
the papers and from the letters of their
various correspondents that it is made
to appear that the Democrats OF Kent
and Sussex are considering the advis-
ability of making Peter ]. Ford their
nominee for Governor; or, failing in
that, that they will put him forward for
Congress.
If there is anything in this talk. /
for one want to protest and I want TO
do so emphatically His nomination
four years ago was a blunder, and GER
tainly it ought not to be repeated.
Strange to say, these assurances of
support come from Gray men. doubtless
under the impression that Mr.. Ford
was an ardent admirer and supporter
of the Judge at St. Louis. That may
have been the case, but Mr.. Ford was
not so insistent i'm his advocacy Of
Judge Gray at the Dover convention.
! A chapter could be written on that
a chapter of secret history which II
seems about time to print l will be
content with the merest outline. am
Informed that going down to Dover the
afternoon before the convention Mr..
Ford was loud I'm his expressions Of
loyalty to Judge Gray. boasting that he
would stand by him even though all
Others should be faithless.
When he arrived on the scene he inn
lmediateiy went into conference with r.
X. Kenney, and the talk must have been
long and serious in the light Of subse-
iquent events.
Certain it is that Mr.. Ford became a
supporter of Mr.. Kenneys position. He
openly declared that the ex- Senator
had a majority of the Kent and Sus-
lsex delegates and that he must be al
llowed to name his delegates and control
the caucuses of the two lower counties
lie also declared with much heat thai
IA resolution to request" the delegation
10 support Judge Gray would be salts
factory. thus backing up Kenney.
1 know for n fact that when Mr.
: Handy decided to make a contest in To
convention. Nlr. Ford urged him t'
} abandon his purpose and threatened
him IL he did not.
, such was AR. Ford's action In th'
convention. When he found next da,
that the Handy people were in contro
he was as good Gray man as any
body. but he had reached an under
standing which tied him to Kenney
nevertheless.
Now then come these suggestions foi
his nomination for Governor, and thel
come either from Kenney people oi
from Gray supporters who are con.
vinced that Mr.. Ford was really AT.
tached to his cause. When the facts
become known the name OF Peter J
Ford on the ticket would mean tbs
loss Of thousands Of votes.
