"A Judges Suggestion Patented.

"
1t appears, from statements made at the
city hall, that not slong ago Chief-justi
Cartier was engaged in looking over some
tables and desks at furniture store, and the
dealer, in the interview, noted that there was
room for an improved mode OF covering ia
bles. The Chief-justice, by the way, has
considerable mechanical ingenuity and after
studying moment called for some pieces of
board and piece of cloth, and explained to
the dealer how he would cover the tables,
and thought nothing more of it. 1t has
since been ascertained that the suggestion of
the Chief-iustice was followed, and that he
now finds that there is pending in the Patent
Office an application for patent based on
his ideas.

Cincinnati, ST. Louis. Louisville. Indianapo-

always opposed denominationalism and de-

other religious bodies do, 1t is therefore,
probable that they will adopt the only name

motion stricken Out, leaving the salary to be
paid from the general treasury.
Mr.. Evans moved to insert In the bill q
provision that no appropriation made by II
should be paid out OF the State school fund

said, was only to carry out the provision OF
