OF this city, auditor Of a big retail
business house, has agreed not to
marry for ten years, the considera-
ton being large block of the cor

tract was signed four years ago,
when Miss Devine was twenty-four
years old, news Of the agreement was
not made public until now. If Miss
Devine is unmarried when she is
th1rty-four, the stock will be turned
over to her. Should she marry be-

Of very simple character and there are not as
many graves to be decorated might be supposed
by the person not conversant with the compare
lively small number of marked graves on Gettys-

when the exercises at Gettysburg focus the eyes
of the entire country. This is the case when the
president of the United States delivers the adj

did a couple Of years as President Roosevelt
did before him. and almost all OF our presidents

It was an accidental lead which Mr..

spread sheet of tin on the table and
on the tin plate he had laid q piece Of

copper wires from his battery trailed
over this sheet of wet paper which
had stuck fast to the plate Of tin.
His experiment originally was to dis
cover a certain electro-metallurgic
action in connection with gold and for
the purpose of the experiment he
reached into his pocket for gold coin.
AS he brought handful Of miscellane.

piece slipped through his fingers, rolf

at the coin, he clamped the sovereign
upon one of the connecting battery
wires and in firm contact with the
moist paper. In the effort at stop

was pushed over until it lay in con-

the accidental discovery.

were used in applying the type to the

moisture was required for the proper

After proving to his satisfaction
that, regardless of the pressure upon

Of the lettering was satisfactory, Mr..
Brembridge sought to discover a
chemical moistener for the paper
which would give the jet black effect

The great trouble was to secure per-
mahency in the electrical imprint.
For ten years Mr.. Bembridge wrest-

Today he announces that everything

in the matter of jet black print with.

GARROS WILL COME BACK
Young French Aviator to Fly In
America in Near Future.

Alfred J. Moisant announced In this city
yesterday that Roland Garros. the French
aviator, who came in second on the Paris
Lsondon-Parls circuit Of about one thou
sand miles, would soon return TO America
70 exhibit under the auspices Of the Mol
SAINT International Aviators. Mr.. Moisant
said tho noteworthy achievements accom-
plished in Europe by Garros on the Paris
Madrid. Paris Rome and now the Paris
London flights had all been performed
while the handsome young Frenchman Was
under contract with the Moisant company
and in accordance with the terms Of their
agreement
He added that Garros and Edmund Au-
demars, another Moisant flyer, would now
give their time to the construction of the
Moisant metal monoplane In Paris, and
that when they appeared in New York in
the near future IL would be to ny that type
Of machine.
There are number of persons who look
with mlsgving upon the practicabiity Of
the metal monoplane persistently advocated
by lIr. Moisant, and If the machine is
brought TO America the increased fame OF
Garros will scarcely be needed TO arouse
interest in its first appearance.
Garros was entered In the International
aviation tournament at Belmont Park last
October as the aeronautic clown. He was
successful in causing mirth among the
spectators every time he attempted to give
an imitation of a man III flight In his tiny
Demoiselle monoplane. In the last two
months he has proved himself IN Europe
10 be among the worlds greatest aviators.
/. IS needless to say he forsook the Demoi-
selle machine before his reputation as 2
