Last night's concert in the Y. M. C. A. lecture course was by the Royal Handbell Ringers The hall was packed to the doors, although the sale of single admission tickets was stopped Monday morning:. The programme was long and varied and the players well demonstrated how much can be made of their unusual musical instruments, for It was shown that in the hands of artists bells express the full range of musical emotions. Every number was received with rounds of applause by the large audience present, and especially at the rendition of the old and familiar melodies of England and Scotland. The performance on the Russian slelghbells by Duncan S. Miller was unique as well as very musical, and the selection on the resonating dulciphonluni by Mr. Ison was unusuxlly interesting. The bell. ringer will remain in the city until late this afternoon, and will give a matinee at 4:1S for the special benefit of school children. The company is Composed of Duncan S. Miller, conductor, and Messrs. Henry and Walter Havart, Arthur Berrldge and Arthur Ison. Crnne In "Governor of Kentucky." . NEW YORK, Jan. 21. A new play by an American author won success on Its initial representation at the Fifth-avenue Theater . to-n!ght. William II. Crane and his company presented "The Governor , of Ken'tucky." by FrankllaFyles, the all-around newspaper man, art critic and part author of "The Girl I Left Behind Me." The theater was densely crowded, the applause was quick, hearty and well nigh continuous. 'The Governor of Kentucky" Is distinctly an American play. The scenes are in Kentucky's capital. The staging is carefully consistent. The orchestration deals only music tones of the North and South. The play fits Crane. There was not a weak spot in the cast. The Daniel Blngley of Burr Mcintosh as the moonshiner was a hit. and the Mason Hix of Edwin Arden is cleancut diabolism. The Col. Henry Clay Blnglcy of William Boas wa that of the old school, with its Southern accent, and with a delightful ease and strength that marks this younjr man's success here. Anne O'Neill's Jewel Esbrooke presented no flaw, and the other women of the company were well chosen. Mr. . Crane made a speech, accepting the warm reception as a tribute to earnest effort in a pure, bright American Play. Mian Ya ' Aliened Sorerii. NEW YORK, Jan. 21. Miss Ellen Beach Yaw, the soprano, from California, appeared to-night In the first of a series of concerts to be given at Carnegie Music Hall, and scored a metropolitan success. Her first song was "Ah Fors e Lul," from Traviata." This gave her opportunity to exercise the marvelous range of her voice, and from the time the first few bars were mini? Miss Yaw hud the large auilenco completely won.' Her execution was fault less, tae nignest notes Deing iaa uu treat ease. Her enunciation is notably free and distinct. De Fesch's 'Tu ial la Superbetta" was renuered with beautiful expression, as were two encores which were enthusiastically demanded. Miss Yaw s voice Is exceedingly clear and she executes vocal pyrotechnics with, unttsual precision, without sacrificing expression or rhythm. , Lord Douglass Assaulted. ORVILLE, Cal., Jan. 2L Lord Sholto Douglass, son of the Marquis of Queensberry, Is not having an easy time as the manager of a theatrical troupe. Ills company played here last evening. When iLady Douglass, nee Mooney, gave her song-and-danco 'act Lord Douglass rushed upon the stage, crying: "My wife cannot sing to such, music as that." The audi ence hissed, and to-day the leader of the orchestra, meeting Douglass on tho street, asked lf he wanted trouble. Lord Douglass answered in the negative, whereupon the musician attacked Douglass, striking him as he was entering a carriage. Lady Douglass made a great outcry, and both Douglass and the musician were arrested. Douglass was subsequently released and the orchestra leader held for trial. Notes of the Stase. ' With a matinee presentation of "Faust" at the Grand this afternoon and "Yorick's Love" to-night Lewis Morrison's engagement will end. Ho has never befgre appeared here In "Yorick's Love." The story in brief Is this: Yoxick, a friend of Shakspeare, married late in life a beautiful young woman, and both aro on . the stage together. Yorick's foster son is also a member of the company, and prior to the opening of this story has fallen in love with his father's young wife. . Ills passion was reciprocated, and. while it w-s a pure affection, they became very , unhappy in the thought that they were deceiving good Yorick. The latter had up to this time been a comedian; but now a tragedy is accepted by the manager, and Yorick Insists on playing the leading tragic role. And here comes a play within a f lay. The villain of the company, like ago. Inflames the jealousy of his Othtllo, and the latter, getting possession of a letter which is proof positive of his son's guilt, kills him on the stage during a duel 'sene, and directly after takes his own life. - A very fanny story la told of Mrs. De Wolf Hopper. She Is known by all now as "being small In stature, but the dainty costumes she wears In "Dr. Syntax" exaggerates her emallness and general youthful appearance, so much so that she really looks like a child of twelve or fourteen years. During a dress rehearsal at the Broadway Theatef, New York city, Mr. T. Henry French, ths proprietor and manager of that theater, stent back on the stage on a tour of Inspection. and. seeing what so thought was a strange little girl thtrc, took the stage doorkeeper severely to task for allowing tho child in the building. Mr. French was a warm personal friend of Mrs. Hopper, but In the wonderful metamorpohse she made of herself he dJd not recognize her, and In his wrath at the breach of discipline which his stage doorkeeper was apparently guilty of he would have discharged the offender tut that Mrs. Hopr?r laughingly disclosed her identity. DeWclf Hopper and his company arrive from Louisville to-morrow morning for their naif week's engagement at English's in "Dr. Syntax." Harry Morris's "Twentieth Century Maids" conclude their, engagement at the the Park th!s afternoon and to-night. The theater was packed last evening. Tomorrow afternoon Jessie Mae Hall and her company, come for three days in the new comeJy, The Princess of Patches." , Ths Empire was packed again last nljtht. TT "City Sports" .seem destined to do a good buslneis this week. The feature of the show is the appearance of ire four Nelson sisters, in acrobatic; feats, and the Turkish dancers. Superintendent Gould Slightly-Defter. A dispatch from Peru last night says: "Superintendent E. A. Gould, of the Eastern division of the Wabash railway, who has been critically ill the past three days. Id pronounced better to-night though fears are tuiertained for his recovery. Peritonitis in an aggravated form is the cause. Dr. Morehou.-. chief rurgeoa of tae , Wabash railway, anj physicians from thlf city are in attendance.

RILEY AT GREENFIELD

Tim poct givhs ins first re cital AT HIS OLD HOME. Old Saxhorn Hand" Tnrned OutReads Ills Verses at Ills Old Schoolhouse. James Whitcomb Riley appeared before his old friends and neighbors at Greenfield last night, reciting to them verses with which they are almost as familiar as the poet himself. It was the first time Mr. Riley has appeared on tho platform In Greenfield since that season when the laurels began to settle firmly on his brow, and what the proffered checks of numerous lyceum bureaus have failed to obtain in many months the appeal of old friends secured a recital by the poet. It has been fully a dozen years since the renowned verse writer confronted an audience at the little town" which he has made famous by his pen, and then it was in the role of a story teller, when he put forth his ingenious little yarn about the small boy that "onct" met a bear. Not that Mr. Riley has lacked solicitations to appear since that bear story for they have come so often it has almost pained him to . decline them but, as his friends say, Mr. Riley has somewhat lacked the temerity to reclto his verses in the presence ' of men and women who knew him as a lad about the old haunts of "green fields and running brooks." A brilliant audience, such as he has often faced, so the friends further add, have had none of the fancied terrors which he pictured in addressing home folks. In his younger days, when he aspired to histrionic honors, Mr. Riley had little apparent trepidation, and come of the town folks remember his debut at a tender age in "The Child of Waterloo," a drama written by his old schoolmaster, Capt. Lee O. Harris. Capt. Harris recalled last night the local hit "Jim" made as Troubled Tom, the comedy character in the urama. Mr. Riley has dropped a part of the term describing Capt. Harris; no more is the lovable man who guided the poet's youthful steps called "schoolmaster," for now the poet himself speaks of him as "master." And it was not until Capt. Harris consented to be on the programme with hl3 pupil would the poet lend a willing ear to the request of the church women who managed the entertainment last night. The receipts were to be used in repairing the Presbyterian Church, which, no doubt, can now well afford mar.y improvements, so great was the sale of tickets. It was the largest audience ever gathered In the town. Greenfield had a warm, old-fashioned welcome for Mr. Riley and the "old band" was there to head the procession from the depot. Of course it wasn't Just exactly the old band with all the saxhorn fellers, but it played the same old tunes, and there was Ike Davis, one of the originals, etlll tooting the cornet, pouring his soul through the brass Into the rigid rythm and sentiment of "Lily Dale," just as Riley heard him the long seasons ago. I'erhaps the music of this favorite didn't sound quite the same yesterday afternoon, for the chill winter atmosphere was not conducive to the greatest appreciation of outdoor band playing, yet the spirit was there. Anyhow, It was a gala day in summer time when Riley's heart was attuned to the fond music. As he says: "And when the boys u'd saranade, I've laid so still in bed I've even heard the locus'-blossoms dropping on the shed. When. 'Lily Dale er 'Hazel Dell had sobbed and died away I want to hear the old band play." The old band met the poet at the railroad station, vhere several hundred people had gathered, and as soon as the dull rumble of the retreating train died away beyond the curve, the strains of "Lily Dale" (a new air even to some of the grown folks, let alone the numerous children in the. crowd) sounded the first tones of welcome. "The Camels Is a-Comin'," which has more of the welcoming tenor, as a musician might say, came next in order, and then the rest or the tunes all sava "Number Mne ' and "Number VLeven," which, no doubt, have long since been forgotten, -whatever they might have been. A Stylish carriage, driven by a coachman who had burnished gilt buttons up and down his long cassock robe, whirled through the mud to the station clatform and the carriage door was swung open for the poet. Perhaps he might just as lief have walked; It would have been like him, but Greenfield has picked up some metropolitan ways, and it proposed to give its favorite son the best it had. Mr. Riley and his sister, Mra. Eitel, were entertained at dinner at the residence of Mr. Edward Thayer. Years ago, when Mr. Riley was a lad, he went to scnooi to captain Harris In tho very same building where the entertainment was held last night. What a chanee In scene within these walls! In the long June afternoons the lad had locked fiom the windows of that building and wished he was out among the droning bees and waving fields of clover or down at the "Old Swimmin Hole," instead of por.n over aun sums and subtractions tnat v. ere absolutely meaningless to him. Little careJ tne townspeople then Tor the small boy, for they dldn c know that he differed par ticularly from any other sv:ih Vjv. There was a strong suspicion, however, in the mrnd of Captain Harri3 tnr.t "Jim" Riley's noggin contained a field for better cultivation than with nard sum? and fl? ures. "I never tried to crowd him." rmarked Captain Harris last night in a reminiscent mood "f saw he didn't have ability for nfttnematt?., and vet tlicto were signs or genius in the boy." The whirligig of tlr.io r. a!e a scene to different last night at the ferstwhUo sthn. house. wMsh has ieve rp.-.l into a fullneagea opera nouse, with real footlights and movable scenes and a drop curtain. The former schoolboy was the principal actor, coming from artistic triumphs hardly bounded by two great oceans a prince in the realm of literature. All the lights that could be crowded on were In full blaze, and the beauty, and the brain and the brawn of the town were lammed in the hall. Around the scrambled In vain for admission a half hour before the entertainment was to begin. While bigger places in the country have uciu iar uisger auuiences to near the Inimitable reciter of his own verse, never was there an audience that gladdened the heart of Itiley like tne one last nigat. He was glad to be with the home folks again, glad to tell them of the verv thincr uhrmt them which they had not seen until his verse made countless thousan is see these very things. As Mr. Riley an J Captain Harris threaded their way through the people a ripple of applause grew Into a loui patter and the people jumped up to get n better view of the master and the pupil who had outstripped the master. It was a home-llko auilence. where people rh.ntir.i ad libitum, one woman, who might have been 'Llz'buth Ann for all the writer knows, even going so far a to say out loud: "Rless his old soul. I'll bet he's scares, lie or whom she spoke was ju3t a triflo white. It would make fijgetv anv man to be the admired center of five or six nunured of his dear friends. Rehlnd the scenes the fidgetiness, if there really was any of it, passed away. When the gentleman who acted as stage manager Jumped over the footlights to dlstribJte some nrogrammes. It seemed the last vestige of stiff rormanty was banished. Singular how a little action of thU sort can add to the comfortable feeling of an audience. Mr. Riley chatted with the friends who had gathered behind the scenes as If it were the haopiest occasion of his life. 3.nl mavb it was. A precocious lad who had spent fifteen minutes in a barber shop across the way getting his hair smoothed that he mignx appear in the entertainment "me anl Rllev." SO he told the hnrhfr In an innocent way was far more nervous than ine aisunguisned man that looked kindly Presently the orchestra came on the jtag ana tn9 ani r was un.ier waw nm-onxii Hough preceded the poet, to whom he rererrei as "our illustrious fellow-townsman, who is no longer the Hoosler poet, but a iVw"Ll ,po l w"m tne wnoie world loves." uhats the use of telling bow that audience received Rilev? You who hav ha-.i Riley elsewhere know what greeting is Kncii mm. ann now an vou suppose it would be at the place of his nativity? Of course. Just so. The verv. verv hAirMt of welcomes, even If one Hnes have to pi't superlatives where they don't belong grammatically, however appropriately. O"io might have thought, after Rilev'a mod.. speech in reply to the greeting, that he had come over to show how dearly he loved Captain Harris and how glad and nroud he was to appear on the same platform with him. "After a long absence and most devious wanderings' began the poet. "I am . fer vently rejoiced and touched by this welcome to my old home, 'the dearest snat on earth to me. and made so not onlv by scred reason of its being the place St my nativity, but especially because it haa ever rem tne nrst. the beat and the mcst for''Mnn? friendf I ever knew or ever needed. I feel. too. with tenderest emotions of both heart and mind, belnir associated on the programme with mv old friend and master. Captain Harris, tho inspirations of my

earliest literary dreams and the steadfast

help and furtherance of my lire enort. uut how to Justly thank vou and thank him as I thank my stars Is a proposition which reminds me of the old rorty-niner back In his native village after some years sojourn In the mines, In identically tne same state of poverty he had known and enjoyed priorly. He had, however, accumulated an unlimited fund of curious experience and information, and, being a truthful man, his honest home-keeping leiiow-ciu-zens gravely listened to him. In one of his experiences in iar-orr California ne toia them or now ne naa once oeen onerea a quarter section of land for an old pair of boots. " 'And you didn't take it 7 asked an awed listener. " 'Well. I didn't," was the emphatic an swer. " Tore land, I s'pose?' said the questioner. " 'So. sir said the old man. 'It was as good land as ever a crow flew over grass waist hlch all over It. a stream o' warter clear as clover honey runnln' through It an a ondeveloped gold mine clean inside the boundary line.' " 'Well, why the Sam Hill didn't you make the trade?" . " 'Because said the old man, regretruny,. 'I didn't have the boots.' "It is even so with my thanks I haven't got them at command, for language wholly falls to express either my vast gratitude or my limitless affection for my old home friends and neighbors, one and all, in country and in town." Mr. Riley said he did not know a better nnem to first irive his audience than the one describing the old Saxhorn Band, the identical band which the older residents remembered. It was the poem in which the man who returns to his native home after many years dwells upon the sweet music of the village band he once knew. This is one of the best known verses of the poet. Spontaneous laughter bubbled in the audience during the recital. Scarcely a dozen lines had been given before the poet was in thorough touch with his audi tors and those who have neara mm on manv other nlatforms Eav he never ap peared to such an advantage as last night. In his second number, "uut to uia Auni Mary's," his voice had such a touch of pathos in concluding the poem as has rarely been heard from any man. He threw a vast tenderness into his words as he told of the Joys of his boyhood thus: Whv. I see her now in the open door, Where the little gourd grew up the sides and o'er The clapboard roof! and her face ah, me! Wasn't It good for a boy to see And wasn't it good for a boy to seeOut to Old Aunt MarysSeldom can a man so well put himself in the place of a boy. Some of his old neighbors must have thought it was "Jim" Riley of years gone by that was speaking to them. Following this touching poem he gave his famous story of the soldier who carried his friend off the field of battle. It is hardly fair to the story to attempt an outline of it In the newspaper. Mr. Riley has been heard in it a number of times. After the applause following these three numbers had died away, Capt Lee O. Harris was introduced, and he was also warmly greeted. "John and I" was his selection. This is the poem of Captain Harris's which tells of the two brothers that owned an estate jointly, one of whom found great Joy in the contemplation of the natural beauties of he estate and tne oiner saw only in the waving wheat the "gain of cent per cent." 'Captain Harris also holds a very dear spot In the hearts of Greenfield people. The other numbers given by Mr. Riley Included. "Old Sweetheart of Mine." "Goodbye Jim." "The Professor," "The Quarrel," and child sketches. Mr. Harris's other number was "The Rose Tree." Professor Mack, the leader. of the orchestra, had arranged the airs described by Riley In "The Old Band." The poet, with a smile on his face, stood in the wines and listened. The other numbers on the programme Included a comic song by Master John F. Mitchell. Jr.. and a quartet num ber bv Mr. and Mrs. W. it. cjiasscocK, Airs. Will 'Huston and Samuel Millikan. After the entertainment, the ladies of the Presbyterian Church gave an informal reception to Mr. Riley at the residence of Dr. C. K. Bruner. ' THE CHECKER PLAYERS.

Several times during tho past month or two the columns of the secular and religi ous press of the; country have contained thrilling accounts of the heroism of fron tier priests. The details of Father Uegley's rldo or seventy miles over tne open prairie to 'the bedsldfr ot a dying woman are still fresh in the public mini, and honest men and women cf every creed are still singing the praise of this nineteenth century hero. But Father Regley. is one among many, as is clearly evidenced by the simple, affectinir storv told in a letter received several days ago .by a prominent Philadelphia Daitor. ' . The writer Is an humble priest, of foreign birth who is fulfilling the. duty of his sa cred ministry in a sparsely-settled district of far-off ,Orepon. His Knowledge or English is limited, but hi3 narrative, written only for the eves of a fellow-priest. Is made more simnle and touching lay its lack of dre and polish. Though the name of this humble servant ot,,uoa is wortny piace beside any In the. land, consideration tor his known humility and abhorrence of no toriety . leads the Catholic standard ami Times to omit mention or nis name, f ollowing is the text of the letter: "January 4. "Very Rev. and Dear Father: I have re ceived. I afsuro you with grtat gratitude. the kind gift you sent me the overcoat. It is something I had never so nice ana good since I am here oh this mission, over six teen years. I offer , you all tho gratitude of my heart and pray uoa to rewara you for your generous gift. "I would have answered sooner, but Christmas week I had to go eighty miles for a marriage. When there. I found out tho man had one wife living. I could not marrv. them. They had come with a wagon for me. When I refused to perform the ceremony they refused to take me home. I had to. walk forty miles in the snow and in the woods, the coyotes howling after me. I came to a Chinaman who has a ho ranch. He took me home in his wagon for five dollars. I had to pay. I was more dead than alive since I returned. Ever since I have remained ill. All I could do was to say Mass and preach once last rsew Ywir Dav. Now I am pretty well for to morrow. Cut. father. I had a hard trip. You mav see. that everywhere there are bad people.

The cabin was brilliantly lighted with candles, and one of the best fiddlers in the county was present to furnish music for the dance to fol low the weddlnsr ceremony. Nothing . oc curred to mar the. proceedings until th minister came to the point where he In vited any one who had anything to pay why the couple should not enter the bonds or matrimony to sreaK or therarter hold his peace, when a rough-looking moun taineer arose and said: "'Anything ter'eay. parson?

SCIIOOLMA'AMS IX BLOOMERS. Two Xewark Teachers Cause a Sen sation hy Wearing Vp-to-Dutc Garb. New York Tribune. The bloomer habit has extended to the teachers in the public schools in Newark, and in one section of the city there Is con siderable excitement over the fact, and a great deal or curiosity Is btlng wasted In endeavors to find out what the authorities are going to do about it. The authorities themselves are Just as badly slumped as the people, for they are working in the dark, because as yet no ono has informed them who .the offenders are. But as the house wlvea say, "It will all come out in the wash. Commissioner Puder, of the Filth ward, will do -the "washing," and he de clares that he proposes to make a thorough Jab of It. As the report goes, there are In the Fifth ward school two pretty young laJies teach lng who some time ago startled their staid companions by announcing that they pro posed to buy whec-is. tmn a thing was never dreamt of by the pedagogues, tut the young ladles carried out their threat. and soon the people living? near the nonoolmarms had plenty of amusement watching tnem learning 10 master their wheels. Eventually they succeeded, and then they fell into the habit ol taking a spin after school hours, and finally they matle their appearance at the Rchoolhouse ait ride of their steel steeds, l ne pupils were amarM and the teachers were snocked, but that cut CO figuro with the yonns wheel women.

who shook their heads defiantly and told the scoffers to "Just wait a while." As the young ladles developed speed and control of their wheels they became mors and more daring, and one day last week tney rolled Into the school yard on their wheels and clad In Idoomer. This tine the pupils were shocked. They crowded around the teachets. and, while & few turned up their noses, a great many Indicated their approval. Most of them re strained their curiosity until the school rooms were reachea, However, ana men such a stretching of necks was never wit nessed in a Newark school since the first log schoolhouse wss erected, over a century ago. Nothing unusual manifested Itself, and the pupils were beginning to think that they were the victims of an optical uiu5ion when a small boy remembered that both the teachers' bicycles carried a small bunJie neitly strapped to the handlebars, io which, he believed, they carried their skirts. When noon recess came a Job was put up on tha teachers, and a clrl of more than usual pru dence was chosen to see how the teachers effected their transformation from bloomer Ites to women of the old school. As tho girl afterwards reported, the teachers "Just slipped their street Fklrts ofr and stood, to all Intents ond purposes, perfect embodiments of the "new woman" of the comio papers. - ihe schoolma'ams apparently enjoyed tha excitement, and every day since they have regularly wheeled Into the school yard clad in their picturesque costumes. Their attiro has not affected their work, and their pupils have learned as much as they did before. while many a boy who formerly ceri-ied them In common with other teachers has learned to admire them for their pluck. Sjch a good thing as a teacher in bloomers could not long be kept a secret, however, and finally one of the girls toll her parents about it The girl's mother happened to bA of a charitable tt:rn of mind, but she dil not approve of bloomers, so she Informed Commissioner Puder that, in her opinion, two of hlrf teachers ehould wear more clothes while going to and returning from their dally work. Mr. Puder has his own Ideas of propriety, and he exercised due vixilance ln endeavoring to ascertain the names of tho teachers, but the lady declined to tell, so be souRht to find out In another way. He has Invited the principal of the school to meet him, and the matter will be probed to ths bottom. r "Bloomers are all right In their place," remarked Mr. Puder to a Tribune reporter yesterday, "and I don't object to them on general principles, but the parent of the children do, ani I'm Inclined ta think they will have to be dispensed with around the schools. If the teachers want to wear them at home after-school hours, It is their business, not mine, and no complaints on that ?core would be entertained. If these teachers, whoever they are, have been wearing bloomers I will bring the matter to the attention of the teacners committee." A pretty teacher, who does not wear bloomers, however, said yesterday: "Pretty soon they will be telling us how to dress our hair, and prescribing what stores we shall not patronize. If 1 wanted to wear bloomers I vhouli do It my?elf, as I consider them not only modest, but hygienla and sensible. If modost women of wealth wear bloomers, why shouldn't hardworking schoolteachers?" And that is. the question Mr. Puler is trying to solve, PATENTS AH VERY KXPEXSIYC. Exclusive Rights for an Intricate In venllon Are Quite Costly. Washington Star. rJ,V The government h'as'recently granted two patents, which cover probably the most Intricate and complex machine ever constructed. It Is claimed that before the first machine was perfected the company, constructing it had expended iUiU,(J0. Tho first application filed contained 204 sheets of drawings, having over one thousand separate views. During the eight years the case wars pending in the office before allowance the number cf sheets was reduced to 1C3. When It is remembered that tho maorlty of patents have but a single sheet of drawings, and that to require as many as ten sheets. is quite an exception, tho magnitude of the invention can be understood. The fees charg,ed by the Patent f Office are uniform for all cases, no matter how complex or how simple $15 for filing the case and $20 additional on allowance of the patent. .' When this case was filed :lt was turned w over for examination to an examiner, who received a salary of J1.S00, and he spent six weeks In studying the case before being able to make the first action. The entire specification was twice rewritten, each time by a different attorney. How much this cot the Inventor Is not known, but It Is rumored that the attorney who nnt prepared ths case received a fee of $10, WJ and an allowance of $2,010 extra to pay for the drawings. While the case was pending the examiner who first had It in charge resigned from the office, and It was turned over to another assistant Of the same rank. This assistant went over the entire around three times, consuming several weeks, and finally he was authorized to gr to Chicago and spend a month In examining a working machine. When the request was first made of the commissioner that the examiner be permitted to make the trip It was promptly refused. For argument the chief of the division then carried In the papers, mak'n? a pile some two feet thick of unfolded drawings and typewritten specifications, and the commissioner said: "He "can go." The machine Is for the setting, JuJrtifylng, and distribution of type. It comprises no less than 18,000 Feparate parts. The patent office Is a money-making Institution. It earns, above expenses, about J2U0.O00 per year, and now has deposited In the treasury a neat little balance of ever it.OOO.Ouo. Upon this Job. however, it lost about $1,000 worth of time of the various patent office official before maturing into a patent, and when Issued the patent rule, had to be followed of preparing copies for sale at the regulation price of ten cents each. The 214 sheets of drawings had to be photographed and the entire body of th specification and claims had to be set up In type, costing for the third edition, as estimated by the ordinary rules, a few certs over ? per copy. These copies aro sold to the public for ten cents each, or twenty cents for the two patents, covering the entire Invention. As soon as one edition Is exhausted another Is ordered. A, great many people order copies of ths patents Just for curiosities. fins Companies Will Fix lit. CHICAGO, Jan. 21.
