PATENTS THAT HAVE BEEN
TAKEN ©UT BY COLORED
v RMEN.
Several years ago a Southern
paper in one of its perodical at
tacks on the colored people of the
United States made a statement to
the effect that the colored people
had no mechanical ingeanity, and
offered as a proof of it that on the
records of the patent office there
were no colored inventors. The
newspaper article having been
called to the attention of the com
missioner of patents, says the Few
York Sun, an investigation was
made of the files of the patent of
fice. = Many colored men have ob
tained patents, but it was a diffi
cult matter to trace them, for there
was mnothing to go by but the
names of the inventers and the rec
ollection of the «erent examin-
ers of patents before whom the in
ventors had gppeargd in prosecut
ing their _oIaBBES BAE R stematic
search,, . i- at the
tine, and REH e again re
cently ab e eof ex-Con
oressinan CHEOREe W ashington Mur
ray, of Sowfl#®arolina, to the end
that a list has been made which
comprises most of the more im
portant inventions by colored men
since 1867, Pricr to 1867, it ap
pears that but one inveution had
been patented by a colored man
This was a patent gridiron by Jos
eph Hawkins, since 1867, however
and more particularly with n the
last fifteen years, many patents
have been granted to colored men,
some of which have proved valu
able and are in general use in some
parts of the United States.
Mr. Murray has had this list of
inventions made as complete as
possible, an 1 a description of the
best known of the inventions, to
gether with a number of models,
has been sent fo the Atlanta Expo
sition with the other color.d peo
ple’s exhibits. The patent office
detailed a special agent for the es
pecial duty of having these models
presented in the proper way, and
collection consists of about twenty
five models of the most remarkable
and most useful inventions by col
ored men. o
""“e H. H. Reynolds ventilator |
the r wllman carsis perhaps the‘_
invention mu.i widely used of|
those exhibited at Ailanta. Rey
nolds was a porter on one uf the
Pullman cars. Opening and shut
ting the windows as he did so often
for his passengers, he devised a
screen to keep the cinders out.
Pullman heard of it and Re_ynolds‘
wassent for. He explained his
invention to the car magfate, and
the interview resulted s%g;arflf after
ward in the adoption of this venti
lator on ‘all the . cars. Rey- 1
. {d e . i
nolds claimed th#’ invention, but
Pullman did mot recognize the
claim. He got out of the service of
the Pullmans, sued them, and got
a verdiet for ten thousand dollars.
- Granville T. Woods, a colored
man in the employ of an electric
company in Cincinnati, recentlyd
transferred his patents on some
electrical appliances to the Ameri
can Bell Telephene company of
Boston for ten thousand dollars.
W. A. Lavalette invented some
printing press eppliances which
are in use in the government print
ing office. Moses Payne, a jockey
on the Latonia-race track, invented
a springy horseshoe intended to
better the time in running and
trotting races.
- Congressman Mwurray has made
a good deal of money out of his
patents, of which there are eight
on file. These are all agricultural
impliments: most of them are de
voted to cotton planting. These
different agricultural appliances
will form an important part of the
Atlanta exhibit of the colored men.

~ Only one colored woman has ob
tained a patent. She is Miss Mir
iam Senjamin, a t.acher in the pub
lic schools here. She
calls her invention “a gong and a
signil chair for hotels.” Through
the intercession of Mr. Murray she
hopes to have this appliance adop
ted for use in the Unit:d States
house of representatives. Instead of
the waste of Congressional energy
at present involv:d in the clapping
of hands for the pages around the
speakers chair, the member, by
pushing an electric button on his
own chair, can call the page to him
by means of an index which at
tracts his attention. The object of
the invention is mainly, however,
to reduce expenses by decreasing
the number of attendants usnally
required for the convemence of
guests at hotels. Where now a
waiter attends the wants of three
or four guests, it is claimed that

HOW - AFRC-AMERICANS

At the Atlanta Exposition.
There have been so many will

Exposition. 1 have to tran.mit to
you a copy of a letter received on
this subject from our General

““As there seems to be an impres

not expected to visit the other ex
hibit buildings of the exposition
company and the Midway attract

for them especially, I hereby auth
orize you to post in prominent
places in your building placards to
the effect that the colored people
are welcome to visit all the exhib

As w. go forth into the master’s
vineyard to do another years work
for him who taught us to say “Our
Father,” we want to impress one
important fact uvon every member
of the Baptist cause, and reiterate
what has so often been said, that
no good can be achieved satis fac
tory results can mnot be attained
unless we work together. We de
sire, end earnestly seek for the co
operation of baptist manand woman
The work is ours. We must work
while it is day, we must do better
work this year than we have even
done in the past, then we can ex
pect greater results. The harvest
is great. The reapers are few. Good
seed must be sown, so that the
harvest will te aitndant, and

said: <At the close of the war the
negro went along quietly and or
ganized their churches in sheds
and carriage houszs and built Sun

every day. Wher. I hear one of
these colored ministers preach a
better sermon than I can, 1 feel
like going outand kicking m yself”
The Doctor also paid a glowing
complim nt to the colored christian
people of the south for their integ

cause of christianity.

of 'the Republican organizations

men for every oftice to be filled.
The Republican party in making
nominations was taxed tc bring
forward its best material, business
men of undoubted integrity were
appealed to and for the sake of
general prosperity of the State,
have consented to forsake their
great interests to serve the people
against the ring. Nowhere is this
more exemplified than in the nom
ination of tte Hon Gustavus A.
Dobler, by the Republican conven
tion for State Senater for the Ist
Legislative District of Baltimore
city. Mr. Dobler is the senior mem
ber of the well-known firm of I*ob
ler, Mudge & co., paper manufac
turers and agents, ~ With this firm
Mr. Dobler began his commercial
career as a trusted employee of the
firm of Wheelwright, Mudge com
pany, and by a strict application to
duties small and great, he has won
the senior proprietorship of the
leading firm in its line South of
New York. Mr. Dobler altho a re
publican is not a partisan, serupo
lous and jealous of his repu ation,
he approaches all public duties. As
Senator he will serve the entire
people, yielding to no demand save
their redemption from the over
burden of Ring Rule.

The Republican Nominating
Convention was fortunate in being
able to meet its duty in the solu

had before it. that of avoiding a
