GOOD NEWS FOR POOR WOMEN.
The Sewing Machine Patent.

There is joyful news for the hundreds OF
thousands of poor women who sit, with
eyelids heavy and red and fingers weary and
worn, in unwomanly rags all over the land,
singing the song of the shirt. The applica.
ton tor an extension of the Wilson patent
feed motion for sewing machines will be
reported adversely by the Senate Committee
on Patents. The importance of this consists
in the fact that this feed motion is used
in all sewing machines, and if theYfree use
of it is given manufacturers, it is said that
the very best sewing machines will be sold
for twenty dollars. The evidence before the
committee is that they cost now about twelve
dollars each to the manufacturers, the smaller
factories paying royalty of forty each to the
which owns this patent. As
practical evidence that the cost of manufac-
ture is correctly stated, it was shown that
Wheeler Wilson machines made in Europe,
where there is no patent and consequently no
royalty to pay, are imported into this coun-
try and sold with the duty added for about
one-half the price asked for our homemade
The application was for an ex-
,ension for seven years.-Special Dispatch st.

MEETING OF THE LITTLE GEORGE

The Little George Society of this city is so
called because it is composed of newspaper
men, lawyers and other professionals, who
like George w., 'cannot tell a lie.
The return of some absent wanderers in
Mexico was made the occasion by it for al
elegant spread at Fritz Huppenbauer's res
taurant, on Sunday last. The doors of Fritz's
best dining-room were opened in honor of
the occasion, and turtle an gratin and nayon-
aise were expedited on their way with half
a-dozen tinted, unlimited and sparkling wines.
The Society that gave the dinner admits no
one as member who did not chaw bacon or
craunch bareback during the war. The only
object for which its peculiar Constitution al
lows any meeting to be held, is to decide
about the dishes and sauces for the next din
ner. 1t need only be added that under Fritz's
hospitable mahogany the strict letter of the
Constitution was carried out.
