THE NEW SAFE DEPOSIT.
Supplying Greatly Needed convenienc,
In the Lower Part OF the City.

Supplying n Greatly Needed Convenience
I'm the Lower Part OF the City.
The formal opening of the Washington Safe
Deposit company, No. 916 Pennsylvania ave.
nue., commenced yesterday. At the entrance
Of the building is the main Office. This Is
separated from the rest of the ground floor
by high aud strong iron railing, which is
passed through ut gate, secured by strong
lock. Next to the railing, along both walls,
are compartments for the purpose of mr.
ranging privately articles which arc to be
deposited. The vaults--two in number, one
Immediately over the other--are nine feet
high, twenty-six feet long, and eleven feot
wide. The walls arc of brick, twenty
inches thick, with an additional steel
plate II inches thick. There are two i'm
mense doors to each vault. The inner doors
weigh FIVE tons each and the outer ones six
tons each. The inner are fastened by time
locks and the outer by combination of largo
size. These vaults are furnished with iron
drawers in which deposits are made. Tho
locks of these require two KEYS to open them.
One key is given to the proprietor of tho
drawer and the other is kept at the office. 1t is
therefore necessary to have the help of one of
the employees to get into the drawers, though
no one at the vault can open the drawer in
the absence Of the depositor. These drawers
arc of various sizes, and will rent at prices
ranging from SO to 800 per annum. The
upper floors are to be used for general storage
purposes
The establishment of this safe deposit at
this point is u great convenience to the lower
part Of the city, and it will unquestonably
meet with large patronage at once. II sup
plies want which was greatly felt. Tho
company is thoroughly energetic, and the
superintendent is gentleman thoroughly
conversant with all the details of the BUSH
ness and alive to the requirements of his
position. Filling the need so long felt in tho
lower part of tho city it commends itself
at once to the attention of the community.

Messrs. Munsen aud Phillip, as attorneys,

ard N. Hoe, Robert Hoe, Peter s. Hoe,
Stephen d. Tucker, R. Hoe, jr., Theodore Ii.
Mead and S. s. Hoe, under the firm name of
r. Hoe & Co., and S. c. Gill yesterday filed a
petition for writ of mandamus on Commits
sioner of Patents Butterworth to compel the
latter to receive the fee of $50 and cause
letters patent to be presented to the secre-
tary of the interior for his signature. 1t is
stated that on March IL, 1881, Mr.. Gill made
application for letters patent for a new and
useful improvement in printing machines,
filing drawings, specifications, &C. The COM
missioner decided that the application would
interfere with an uneXpred patent
to Walter Scott, and the case was determined
in favor of Scott by the examiner. Mr.. Gill
appealed to the examiner in chief, who do
cided adversely to him, and further appeal
was taken to the commissioner of patents,
who rendered decision in his favor. Mr..
Gill then assigned his right and title in the
patent to Il. Hoe & Co., who claim that they
are now entitled to it, although the commits
sioner gives as his reason for refusing that
Scott has appealed from the last decision to
the secretary of tho interior, who has decided
in Scott's favor. They contend that the Sec
rotary can entertain no appeals.

FAELToN's PIANO RECITALs.
Classical Music Intcl1igcntly and Artls-
ticalIy Rendered.

Classical Music Intc11igontly and Artis-
ticaiiy Rendered.
A large audience greeted Prof. Carl Fael-
ten OF Marini's hall last night. The pro-
gramme comprised mostly classical selections.
Bach, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Schumann,
Chopin, Rubinstein, Raft, Wagner, and Liszt
were the principal authors, and we're all very
finely rendered. In the sonata by Beethoven
it was noticeable that in slight degree he
sacrificed the sweetness of the music for the
sake of speed. Mendelssohn's "Roudo Ca.
priccioso" was finely rendered. The selec-
tions from Chopin were the weakest
part of the evenings performance. The
Love Song" from "The Valkyra;" the
Spinning Song' from the "Flying Dutch
man." by Wagner, and the Hungarian
Rhapsody by Liszt were rendered with a
force and accuracy that were simply superb
OF tho other selections the same criticism
may be applied. Prof Faelten showed that
no was equally at home in expressing alike
the music of Chopin, of Shumann, and the
majestic measures of Beethoven or Rubin
stein. His execution is nearly perfect With
an accurate rendering of the music is blended
Il delicacy of touch simply wonderful. His
conception of the music shows him TO be
an intelligent artist His audience was
fairly carried away, many good musicians be-
ing present who admired and appreciated the
performance. He was enthusiastically APP
plauded after every selection. What is re-
markable about these entertainments is the
memory of Prof. Faclten. This is the third
performance which he has given, ut each of
which an entirely different programme has
been arranged. Yet each has been rendered
without the use of single notes
