Az ALLEGED DISCOVERY nF IHPnRraScE.-

AN ALLEGED DISCOVERY ~ IMPORTANCE
Ehc, sewing machine i1ieI c.s IRE greatly ex-
erciseG over an alleged discovery among the
English patents. IL Is said that patent has
been found, dated July II, 1900, granted by
the British Government to Thomas Paint,
numbered 1,7G4, for sewing-machine hay
ing all the essential features of the American
inventien--a horizontal tabe-supp0rt, per-
pendiclhar oscillating needIe>bar, an eye
pointed straight needle. perfect horizontal
automatic feed, an upper tension for spacing
the, stitches, a "take-up" to tighten them,
and.a spool on The tep'o the ayrh This can
be easily verified, az there are copies of the
English patents at our public libraries. 1t
is supposed to invalidate all the early Ameri-
can patents by priority of invention. If
correctly stated, it passes belief that such
record should have so long remained undis-
covered

4 DEFALCATIOS OF So, 435 IN THE PITTS
BrRGn Posi- OF LETTERS
ROBBED AND TIE FINDS Or THE OFFICE S;TO-
Pihsbu7yh. September 26.-The Pitts
burg post-otlice was taken possession of this
afternoon 10y Major Pcthcrbridge, Chief of
the Special Service Bureau, of the PO>t-O Office
Department. John H. Stewart, the post
master, under orders from Washington, has
been suspended from his position, because
OF grave irregularities in the conduct OF the
affairs of the office, which have eliminated
in Il dcfa!catiOn, so far rs aSccrtalncd, OF
about S33, 900. The first suspicious Of the
Post. Office Department as 10 there being
anythin" wrong in the Pittsburgh office
were awakened by numerous complaints
that reached Washington from business
houses in this city of their failure to receive
letters containing rcmttaHccS.
An inveS! gation WAS ordered about six
weeks ago by the posi-Oilice Department,
under he direction Of Ma or Pethcrbridgc,
assisted by 3. X. Sharraty, of New York.
There was found TO be /. general di>organi-
cation and decentralization in the working
force OF the office. The loss of letters and
delay in the delivery of mails were of fire.
1uent occurrence and complaints were nu-
mcrous from business men rs to the loose
manner i'm which the affairs Of the office
were conducted.
An investigation disclosed the fact that
the accounts Of the office had been impro-
perry kept. and that some of the clerks had
been Systematically deprived Of Il portion of
their pay by being induced TO sign vouchers
for 4 greater amount than they received.
One instance Is given of a clerk who regu-
larIy signed voucher for Sl5 Il mouth more
than hc was paid. OF course, the posllna5-
ter in his accounts was credited with the
face Of the voucher, and pocketcd the diff
ference between that sum and the amount
paid the clerk.
The first evidence the Department had Of
there being detalcation i'll the Office was
hen drafts on the Pittsburgh post-ottlce TO
The amount of Sl60U0 in favor OF the Pan.
handle Railroad Company for mail service
were returned to the Department protested
for non-payment. At that time the post
master according TO his accounts, should
have had ample funds to pay the drafts.
This caused the prompt action i'll taking
possession or the Office and suSpendlnS the
postmaster.
About p. VI. to-day the detectives de-
manded the keys Of the office. This was the
first intimation Stewart had that he was Slls-
pccted, though officers had been at work Tor
six weeks. He was taken before the United
States commissioners and charged with en-
bczzIiny $50, 435.1S. The amount is made
up rs follows: OF the postal revcnuc flnd,
SlG.4lG.35 of the stamp and STAN Jed en-
ycIopc fund, So .55G.5S; Of the money-ordcr
fund, 81 .VS7.23; and of the funds received
from boX-rcnt> and postage collected tue
sum of $3.50. Stewart gave bail III SGo,oVo.
IL is said he u0nteS>cS the enlightenment.

rapidly in every direction. All the stores,
the printing office, United States land Office,
'po>t-of1ice, express office, hotels, and other
business places, with two or three exceptions,

the members of the family to use the
same towel for wiping their hands

how this practice prevails, even among
people of considerable cultivation; !;
frequently, the towel is made of three
yards of good crash, sewed together at
the ends, and hung over a roller.
This seems very generous and nice
when it is clean, but not 50 after it
has hung there three or four days,
