AN AIGIERS PATENTEE.

c. w. Nichols, one of our well-known
Algiers citizens, has just obtained a
patent on what he terms an aXleless
wheel Mr.. Nichols claims for this in
vention that when an ordinary wheel
is placed on a wheelbarrOw it requires
a fair-sized man to push along two hun
dred pounds with ordinary eXertion,
but with the axleless wheel a boy OF
fourteen or sixteen can readily wheel
from six hundred to eight hundred
pounds with the same amount of en-
.ergy. The principle involved is that
the leverage of the wheel to the bar
row is so changed as TO increase the
leverage to such an extent that it will
make it possible for much larger loads
to be conveyed than before. The wheel
is also applicable for large vehicles
drawn by horses.
A corporation is now being organized
which is to be known as the AXleless
Wheel Company, with c. w. Nichols
as president and general manager;
Henry P. Meyers, yice-president, and
Victor Robin, secretary-treasurer. The
members of the board of directors are
composed of the three officers above
mentioned, with P. F. Chenute and DR.
| G. V. Kraft.
Models of the wheel are now on ex
hibition and one especially attached t
wheelbarrow may be seen at the Inn
in Carondelet street The Inn wa
formerly the old Denechaud Hotel
The patent will be controlled by thu
new corporation and will be exploitet
as soon as the details are completed.

perty in Patterson street now known

and the news comes to us in rounda-
bout way. The information is contain

Charity Hospital of Louisiana
New Orleans, July %, 1913.
Rev. w. S. Slack,
Algiers, La.
My Dear Mr.. Slack
The board of administrators of the
Charity Hospital, at their regular meet
ing held Monday, July 21st, at o'clock
d. m, instructed me to write you, and
through you to convey the thanks OF
the board to the boys of the Junior
Brotherhood of st. Andrew, Algiers,
who made and donated to patients OF
this institution the crutches recently
sent us. The idea conveyed to me was
that the crutches should be given the
unfortunate people who are too poor to
purchase them and by reason of the
loss of, or inability to use their limb
will need a crutch or crutches; further
more that the boys of the Junior
Brotherhood of ST. Andrew will be glad
to furnish this institution with another
supply whenever needed.
The gift is in itself decided act Of
lthoughtfulness and feeling; the Offer
to send more adds to the sincerity and
genuineness of purpose to help the un
fortunate and shows in those boys &
kindly feeling of others in this great
world besides themselves and their sur
roundings. Such inspirations may
continue as a part of their lives, and a:
they grow older will add to their hap
piness and pleasure in life, which
sincerely hope may be.
l have the honor to be.
Very respectfully yours,
Fred. w. Matthews,
Secretary.

BARES STORY
OF FA|THLESS WIFE
Admits His Prayers Failed, and
Gets Divorce Decree From
Court in Chicago.

CHICAGO, May 2S.-In a voice broken
with emotion. the Rev. Edward c.
Crawford. of the Moody Bible Institute.
today admitted the futility of his pra.-
ers in combating temptations of The
flesh that assailed his wife.
The minister was granted a decree of
divorce from his wife. Mabel. as he
had produced in court sheaf of let
ters in which she admitted her unfaith-
fulness. He had forgiven her for IN
discretions. he said. In accordance with
the Biblical precept but a three-years'
trial proved to him that prayer and
forgiveness were no antidotes.
OIly one correspondent John Rey-
nUids, plumbing contractor was
named by the minister, but his wife's
letters indicated that there were
others

Emperor's Illness
Will Have Small
Effect on Land Law

There will be no suspension in the ne
gotiations in the acknowledgements
situation as a result of the serious Ill
ness of the Emperor of Japan, as Am
bassador Chinda Is preparing the re-
joinder under instructions from the for
eign office at Tokyo. with a view to
expediting the exchange of representa-
tions.
As exclusively stated yesterday, the
Japanese government intends to hold
the United States down to the defined
issues in the controversy, particularly
the claim that the commercial treaty
of 1871 has been contravened by the
discriminatory intention OF the. Can
fornia anti-alien land act. This is con-
clusively confirmed by the advices from
Tokyo, which clearly show that the
foreign office is not satisfied with the
uncertain discussion of Seneralities and
expressions for friendly feeling in the
formal reply handed to Viscount Chinda
by Secretary Bryan on Monday.
II is apparent that the Japanese gov
ernment is not concerned over the man
ner in which the Administration blocks
the Objectionable legislation, but Is in
sistent on prompt and effective action.
The foreign office frowns on Secretary
Bryan's hint for the invocation Of the
referendum plan, and Is equally averse
to the idea Of having japanese in Cali
fornia initiate judicial action TO test the
law. =
Japan's apparent program is to afford
the Administration every reasonable
opportunity to adjust the dispute by
ordinary diplomatic means. and IL diplo-
macy fails. to demand arbitration under
the 1908 convention, which provides that
disputes arising over the Interpretation
or construction of a treaty shall be
taken to The Hague for adjustment
when diplomacy fails.
Secretary OF State Bryan Is reticent
as to probable steps but the well-ir-
formed realize that the State Depart
ment, by its defense of the California
law. has placed itself in n delicate po-
sition, where Mr.. Bryan's peace and ar
bitration ideas will be open 10 a TEST
and II is known that he is not anxious
to subject the worth of his arbitration
conventions. which he hopes TO renew.
to trial SO.
Tire japanese are not long on con-
versation or argument when. they be-
lieve the issue is clear, SO Ambassador
Chinda, pressed by the foreign ofrics
for tangible results, Is expected to be-
come more emphatic in his demands II
Secretary Bryan does not respond more
specifically to the formal protest
A preliminary reply is expected at the
State Department within Few days.
