MANUFACTURING ENTERPRISE.

MANUFACTURING ENTERPRISE.
F. s4lSeymour has made partial
canvas of the city in the interest of
his automatic coal feeder factory
project. The business and other men,
| and some of the women take to it
| kindly and are helping the enter
prise along 1t has been thought adj
visable by the business men on the
list (who, by the way, are held
down to one dollar subscriptions that
we need and must have a working
commercial sample. To that end
some money has been collected in
and the working drawings prepared
and sent in by Mr.. Seymour with a
remittance forwarded to a firm in
Cincinnati, which is noted the world
over for fine work They will@put
it in shape to sell and when finish
ed will send it here for an 0. X. By
this move the enterprise is cinched
for Manchester which will control the
output west of the Mississippi river.
AS soon as the sample and pattern
necessary are finished they will be-
long to the company and each sub
scriber to the enterprise will share
pro-rata, with Mr.. Seymour in the
profits derived in this territory be-
fore and after a factory is ready for
their manufacture. This sample will
make it, easy to sell the necessary
stock, as it will convince those who
are from Missouri and many Of the
signers desire to take more stock
when they "can be shown. Two
styles of this devise are fully pro-
tected by two patents in the United
States, one already granted and the
other to be issued April goth OF this
year.

Philadelphia, Pa, Sept. s.-Marjorie

TRIBUTE TO EDUCATOR.
Career of Anna Tolman Smith Is
Praised by Reader.

To The Editor Washington Herald !:
In the death of Anna Tolman
Smith, the world has lost a woman of
remarkable influence, one who devot-
ed her long and active life to the
cause Of education. both by practi-
cal teaching and by her pen, and
who arrested the attention OF the
best educators in both Europe and
America.
Miss Smith was trained in the
schools Of the last generation, with
its ideals and its rigorous discip-
line. She exempIifed in a remarkable
degree. the results of an education
that - have in this day come 10
regard lightly as a waste of time
because it did not directly lead to
material success.
She received her early training in
the Boston Normal School under the
tuition of Dr. Seavey. one of the
foremost educators Of the period i'm
mediately preceding the Cival war
No greater testimony to the effiCi-
ency of the training of that time can
be given than the life OF this wo-
man who has contributed so richly
to educational ideals through all the
years of her life, who made for her
self an international reputation for
thOroughness of method. grasp Of
educational problems, comprehensive
thought. moral conception and. above
all, intelligent and helpful inspira-
ton to every one who was fortunate
enough to come under her influence
and acquaintance.
First she was a teacher Of young
women both in public and private
schools and afterwards a special
ist on foreign systems OF education
in the United States Bureau of Edu-
cation. A keen student OF human ma
ture, she invariably found in every pu-
pill whatever latent abilities the pu-
pill possessed and never failed to de-
yelop them to the utmost.
In the year 1900, she represented
the United States as a member of
the Jury of Awards in the Educa-
tional Department of the great Paris
Exposition. A woman on such a jury
was somewhat Of an anomaly in
Europe and because it was rare, it
was rather resented by other jurors.
The French were not used to it and
other foreign powers feared that
here was "one of those aggressive
American women who always try to
dominate every situation" Under
these circumstances almost any other
woman would have failed in the work
assigned to her, but Miss Smith
with fun knowledge OF her ability,
took the most inconspicuous seat In
the hall when her jury was organ
lied.
Five years later when the writer
was delegated to a similar work in
Belgium, she found that to be a
friend of Miss Smith was an open
sesame to the councils of every edu-
cational gathering in Europe. Today
there is not an American educator,
man or woman, who holds a higher
place in the esteem and affection of
the noted educators abroad than the
subject Of this sketch.

BROTHER
MET foul PLAY
Edward c. Pemberton, o.
North Carolina, Asks
Police to Aid Search.

Fearing that his brother, Claude
Pemberton. 25. of Norman. N. c., who
came to Washington, August 81. may
have met with foul play at the hands
of mysterious stranger. Edward C..
Pemberton last night asked the po-
lice to aid him in a city-wide search
The missing man came to this city to
enter the Marine Corps as a druggist
and soon afterward disappeared from
his room in the Raleigh Hotel. The
younger brother, who also came here
to enlist in the United States navy,
was compelled to take the matter up
at headquarters because the elder
Pemberton took with him all OF their
funds.
According to Pemberton, he and his
brother met a man from Alexandria,
Va, last Tuesday and had seen him
every night since then. Friday night
this man had taken dinner with the
younger Pemberton who said he left
his brother in their room. After din
ner they separated and Pemberton
went to the National Theater. On re-
turning, he said, his brother had dis
appeared.
A few minutes later the man from
Alexandria entered the room in COM
pany with three ether men and in
quired about Claude. The man then
borrowed a dollar and the four left.
According to Pemberton, this dollar
was the only money he had and he is
now stranded" with no funds for his
hotel bill and trip home. Pemberton
said his brother had been drinking
the night OF his disappearance and
that the man from Alexandria, with
his three companions, might. during
his absence. have CoaNed his brother
from the hotel and robbed him OF the
so in his possession. Pemberton says
that he has not seen the four men
since that night.
The missing man is described as
being . feet inches tall and weighing
lis pounds. II is said he wore. when
last seen, a blue suit. dark gray hat
and black slippers.
