drinking, and as liquor went quickly to, his
head, was much excited. He went into
the saloon and asked Wepler to lend him four
dollars. He was Wepler' lawyer and regard

but finally gave him two dollars. Clay in
sisted on the four dollars, and took the re-
fusal as insult He went home, got his
revolver and coming back threatened the

: Solving An Important Point.

) NEW York, Sept. %. There was an im-
posing array of counsel and scientific eX-
perts in the United States Circuit Court
yesterday, when the final hearing on the
great infringement suit of the Bell
Telephone Company against the Peo-
ple's Telephone Company was begun
before Judge Wallace. The Bell
Company was represented by Ros-
coe Conkling and others, the Peoples
Company by Senator Edmunds and half a
dozen others. The question at issue is
whether A. Graham Bell or Daniel Draw
baugh is the first inventor of the speaking
telephone. The interests involved amount
to over 100000, 1000. J. j. Storrow, for
the Bell Company, occupied the whole day
in outlining the nature OF the telephone,
and giving history of its invention. He
will continue his argument to-day. The
proceedings are expected to occupy the
time of the court for the next three weeks.

The schco, was well attended. many
young children especially being sent
there by their parents, who were chiefly

and money brought in by his students
until he was recompensed for his serv-
ices. -Foreign Letter.

CLOSING DooRs.--Doors are what we have
to do with all our lives, and yet nineteen
people out of every twenty make noise
closing every door they go through. Ply
sicians have not yet learned that they dis
turb the patient they are striving to quiet
by closing the door noisily when they enter
or leave the house Or room. 1t is perfectly
easy to close door quietly, yet few people
make it a practice to do so until some one
is i'll, and then it is often forgotten. The
patient that for days and nights has had no
rest is finally relieved from pain, and is
quietly sleeping. If there is nothing to dis
turb him some hours Of refreshing sleep may
be expected giving the rest and. strength
so much needed. But some one, forgettul Of
the needed caretulness, closes door with
slam, and the patient starts with every
nerve quivering, not only losing the much
needed sleep, but having to suffer from a
sudden awakening, so hard for weak
person 10 bear. If people would practice
and teach care in closing doors until 1t be-
came their habit to do so no one need suffer
from this one of the unnecessary noises
