The Advantages of Compressed Air for
Street Car Propulsion.
In view of tho objections to the
overhead electric system for
of cars on surface roads in
cities, the annoyance from tearing
up streets and the cost of plant and
maintenance of the cable lines, the
expense of horsepower with the
sanitary evils resulting from the lo-
cation of stables in populous cities,
tho fact that pneumatic motors
after a successful demonstration of
their superiority have been largely
overlooked seems inexplicable. These
motors not only are entirely free
from tho objectionable features of
the systems, but they furnish
a mode of propulsion which is more
safe and more economical than any
other with equal velocity of transit
These assertions are advised-
and are based on actual demon-
In and 1879 five
motors were run for several
months on the Second avenue rail-
road New York with perfect
The position taken by tho
officers of horse railroad companies,
both in New York and Philadelphia,
was that any car running along city
streets without horses in front
would frighten horses, cause run-
away accidents and subject com-
to suits for damages. This
objection of course applies with
much greater force to the cable and
trolley systems, which are
by a loud, humming noise,
while the pneumatic motor can have
a noiseless exhaust. But no
or explanation availed in the
face of this senseless objection.
One railroad president declared
that if the motor were adopted by
his company it world necessary to
kill some of his old horses, stuff the
skins and mount a pair of thorn on a
low truck front of each car. Con-
existing now seem favorable
for the introduction of a motor
which, free from tho objections to
all other systems, with no new de-
of its own, may be considered
perfect. No fears are now enter-
that a ear running without
horses in front will make
of till on the streets
and this in 1879 was the only
reason urged in opposition to tho in-
of the pneumatic motor.
The system would particularly

on the same by the Raleigh
News Observer-
It is generally conceded that Mr.
Cleveland will recognize the South
in his cabinet appointments. He
selected two from this section
eight years ago and it is not
that the number will be
smaller this time in making up
his advisers- The South gave him
before her entire electoral vote.
She has don the same and
it is not a question ax to whether
she have a cabinet position or
positions. It is only a question as to
what men will be I bus favored with
the appointment It is generally
believed in North Carolina that
Mr Cleveland will make a
from this State. It then be-
comes a matter of to know
who shall receive the appointment.
It is pretty certain that North
Carolina will get only one place.
It is positively true only one man
can fill this place. It is almost
certain that the State will have to
unite on one man to get this
at all- It then becomes

would devolve upon a cabinet

painstaking, thoughtful, consider-
ate and patriotic. His experience
in public affairs the wisdom
of his political acts as
by his private and
official record murk him as one
of the foremost statesman of the
State.
That lie is the most available
man in North we think
will be readily conceded. He and
his record are well known even
now to Mr. Cleveland. He filled
an honorable and important
under President
administration eight years ago.
Gov. services in this
were acceptable to Mr. Cleve-
land and had he not resigned he
could have I the position until
the close of his torn of office as
President. Gov. Jarvis has pres-
of been recommended
for a cabinet position by the Leg-
of North Carolina eight
years ago- His services to the
State since then- we believe, will
insure this recommendation
at the approaching session of our
Legislature. No man is so
and favorably known in
portion of North and the
believes that his
would give more gen-
satisfaction than that of
other man in our borders.
I was published in full in all the
Boston and in many other New
papers, and was highly
commended. This led to
from the management of the
New Agricultural Society
and from other organizations to
deliver addresses, several of which
be accepted. They gave equal
satisfaction and gave to Gov. Jarvis
a widespread reputation for
and patriotism. Be-
fore returning to North Carolina
he came to the city and spent a
week here as the guest of the late
Governor Bigelow, between whom
and himself a warm friendship had
been formed while they were at-
tending the Yorktown celebration.
Here ho met many of our leading
citizens and won their esteem.
Soon after President Cleveland
was inaugurated he appointed
Gov. Jarvis American minister to
Brazil. The duties of this office
were discharged with a wisdom
and good judgment that was highly
approved by the administration.

Republicans to charge when the

Harrison must have felt ashamed
of the figures himself for he took
care to qualify them by several

that deficit is avoided it will be by

A Notable Float in our Trades Parade.
One of the most notable floats in
trades parade last Wednesday
night was that of Dr. D. Harmon, the
public spirited and able optician, so well
known to the people of Wilmington and
to all North Carolina. It was fourteen
feet in length and twelve feet in height
and was tastefully decorated with Nation-
Hags and red, white and blue buntings.
On a in large letters was the
legend, D. S. Optician
and the float was
fully lighted lanterns and Japanese
lights at the top and sides.
So far as real value goes, there was
doubtless no float in the parade that
could equal it. as the dais was an
of wonderful and valuable in-
were both rare and at-
tractive as well. On the front of the
dais operating chairs in which
sat two of the doctor's and next
to them was an invented in
Paris in 1880. It was on a beautiful oak
table with an elevating that
lated the top of the table to suit the
height of the person. This table was
invented by Dr. Harmon since his
in and was built by
Messrs. Bailey. The next was a
line plated instrument four and a
half feet high, with a large wheel on top.
used for examining rays of light. This
was invented by Dr. Harmon
and it required twelve years in which to
perfect it. II was built in North Caro-
and is used for the eye.
There was still another instrument on
the float, one invented by Dr. Harmon
at San Francisco in 1883. and to which he
gave the name of It is a
very wonderful instrument and is used
for each eye separate or
together as desired.
There was even another instrument
which was invented by Dr. Harmon in
Wilmington late as September 12th,
to be used for examining or
weakness of the sight. There was also
on the float a very little but important
instrument, invented in Paris, and used
for examining Its companion
was an oculist trial case, imported, and
used in examining the eye. On the rear
of the dais were two more operating
chairs in which sat another patient and
an attendant.
Thus was made up the float of Dr.
Harmon and it was quite creditable to
this eminent specialist. He is a new-
comer in our midst but he is public
liberal and progressive, and we
are glad to know that he is meeting up
with the success he so richly deserves.
He is a conscientious and painstaking
professional and his work in his
line is almost universally satisfactory.

try it for everything, on man and

Ventilating;.
For mom than twenty years tho
inventor of a new system for cool-
heating and ventilating has been
developing tho methods which

His system consists of circulating
fresh air through interior zigzag par-
heating drums and coils
ranged in a return zigzag ex-
tending for a suitable distance up
the chimney, around which the es-
gases; and smoke arc made to
pass. Tho heat that usually passes
to waste the chimney is thus
absorbed.
This heat is then turned into a
stream of fresh, clean air, driven
through heating apparatus and con-
with great velocity through a
circulating pipe into as many differ-
buildings and apartments as may
be desired. In this way a saving of
from to per cent in tho cost of
fuel is effected, and pure, wholesome
air, which can cooled if desired,
can lie obtained all over the
