A Pennsylvania lawyer has inven
ted an apparatus which may prove a
boon to suffering .humanity. It is
an automatic speech-blocking device,
designed tv) cut off afte-dinner speak
ers, political debaters and others
when they have spoken to the limit,
of the time allowed them. Ihns, if
.Dr. Chauiicey M. Depew were on the
card for a five-minutes’ talk, the bell
would ring when his time was up,
ami keep ringing until he had taken
bis seat. The beneficent possibilities
ul the invention can, therefore, be
appreciated at a glance. Between
tunes, when “there were no dinner
speeches and legislative debates for
the uistr intent to .keep tab on, it
might be employed in timing prize
lights.—Ex.

All who have visited the Beau
mont district in Texas and seen the
flowing oil wells are amased. One
well is flowing at the rate ol 72,000
parrels a day, and there are ten otb
ers which are making w< mlerful rec
ords. It looks as if the Beaumont
wells, the number of which is in
creasing all the time, would have a
very marked effect upon manufactur
ing in the South, particularly in
Texas.
If, as believed, oil will become the
fuel of industries and also of rail
ways in tlie near future, and can he
had in almost unlimited quantities
at a price that will make it attract
ive to manufacturers and railway
mauageis, the South is going to he
greatly bent fitted by the Beaumont
discovery.
We publish some figures showing
that the oil can be sold in Pittsburg
so as th compete with coal in that
city. That being the case, it is evi
dent that it can tie sold anywhere in
the South, except in territory imme
diately around coal mines, hi compe
tition with coal. No doubt it will be
possible to sell it at a profit at pri
ces so low that it will be cheaper to
use it than coal.
The building of factories is going
on now at a rapid rate. It is proba
ble that in each new factory provis
ion will be made for both coal and
oil as (uel. With cheap fuel and
labor less costly, all tilings consid
ered, than labor at the North, the
progress ol the South in manufactur
mg will be such as to astonish the
World.
It is not known yet j ;st what can
be done with tin! Beaumont oil. Ex
periments are being made, however,
by able chemists, and in a short lime
all of its properties will lie fully ap
parent. It is safe to say that it will
turn out that the oil is far more val
liable than it was Lho.ghl to be
when discovered.
There does not seem to be any
fear that the Beaumont will give out
in the near future. In fact, the big
gest of tiie wells there are yielding
more oil a day than when they were
opened. It is estimated that the
yield is now almost sufficient now to
satisfy the world's demand, at the
present rate of consumption, but if
the oil comes into more general use
as a fuel it is believed that the oil
field will be developed so that its
product will meet any demand that
may be made upon it.—Savannah

The New York World says:
“In some Washington book stores
can stiil be bought the school history
of the United 8ta’es written by Alex-
1 under H. Ltephens for southern cliil-
dien eight years after war.”
j Stephen's School History of the
United States is still used largely,
| though not as much as it once was.
It is remarkably impartial, consid-
' ering the fact that it was written bv
I the vice president of the Confederacy
and very soon after the' war. There
is another class of school histories on
sale in the south which is rapidly
disappearing. We refer to those pre
tended histories which have been
worked off in localities where teach*
ers and school boards have tailed t<>
perform their duty intelligently and
taitlifiiilv. They are grossly parti
san, recklessly false aud bitterly sec
tional.
During the past year many of
these frauds have been kicked out of
southern schools and we trust that
their complete and final extermina
tion in the south will soon be accom
plished.
The south does not ask for school
histories which shall be partisan in
her favor, but she does ask, nay, she
demands, that the histories taught in
her schools shall not contain lies
about the causes or the conduct of
the civil war.
The Wash’ngtonj D. C., board of
education set a fine example a few
days ago when, on motion ol General
Boynton, a gallunt Union veteran, it
ordered that all teaching of history
relating to American history be sus
pended in the Washington schools
until tiie publishers of the histories
now used should correct the many
errors they contain relative to tiie
civil war period or until truthful and
accurate histories could be obtained.
It is our duty both to those who
made the history of that stormy
period and to those who are to come
after us to protect and preseVve the
truth of history.—Atlanta Journal.
.VOW AM) THICK.
The Chicago Chronicle neatly ex
poses the hypocrisy of those organs
sectional hate m ti e north w hose
chief aim is to misrepresent evei>-
thiug that occurs in the south and to
pervert its significance. The Chron
icle sa\s:
“A few- years ago, when a Demo
cratic president was greeted at the
south by ex-Coufederate soldiers car
rying tiie battle fiat's of. the lost
cause most of the Republican organs
saw nothing in tiie circumstances but
the undying disloyalty of the men
who had once been in t arms against
the Federal government. Now that
Mr. McKinley receives similar w'ei-
oomes and even refers sentimentally
to tiie tattered emblems oh revolt we
are informed that it is all highly sig
nificant of a leuuiied coimtrv . Tin re
w ere just as many evidences of re-
j union and good fellowship in .Mr.
. Cleveland’s day as there are at this
j mue. The only change is in the
i spirit of the par.isuu Republican
! commentators at tee north.’*

Although it is less than three
years since the w»ar with Spain be
gan, there have been already almost
41,01)0 applications for pensions filed
on account of it, aud this exclusive
of service in the Philippines. It is
estimated that the total number of
men in the war on the American
side was 274,717, though of this
I number only about 60,000 were'act-
. ually engaged. It will be seen there-
| fore, on this basis, that, for every six
men who actualy saw service there
have been four applications for pen
sions.
In tiie light of these figures it is
j not at all surprising that the pension
! agents are extremely anxious that
j Commissioner Evans be removed
j from the pension office, where he
j now stands as at least a partial bul-
! wark against the granting of dishon-
, est claims.
I Commissioner Evans recently
slated thai lie did not think that the
suldiers themselves were as much to
blame for this flood of applications
as were the pension agents. As soon
! as a man came home from the army
he was pounced upon by these solici
tors, who argued to the soldiers that
1 as long as the money was in the
treasury the might as well have it as
anybody else. This, lie claims, ac
counts for the large number of ap
plications, manv ot which were in
duplicate, coming from different
agents, the second agent probably
arguing wit.i the soldiers that lie
had a better pull at \V ashiugtou,
than had the first. —Boston Herald.
