DICK TURPiN IN NEW YORK.
Barring Crime Committed by
R0bber Who EIuGes Pursuit,

HObber " hO EluGes Pursuit.
New YORK, March 20. "A short. stout mae
mounted on dark bay horse rode slowly up
Third avenue The rider scanned the eastern
sidewalk carefully while permitting the rein
to almost hang over the horses neck. As th6
horseman approached Fortyseighth street he
frightened his grip on the rein, rode over to
the curb, and dismountsd. The horse stood
like statue. At the same moment a gentle
man walked past on the sidewalk. When he
had passed two PAGES beyond the horse the
equestrian suddenly ran up behind him, struck
him blow on the back of the neck, knock
ing him down on the pavement. He
bent over the gentleman for a
moment, and then suddenly ran back
to his horse, vaulted into the saddle,
put spurs to his animal, and dashed
up the avenue at bCeak-neck speed. Half a
hundred people saw the attack, and in a mo-
ment wild crowd dashed in pursuit with
the yell Of "Stop thief" The victim, whs
was only stunned, jumped to to his feet and
joined in the chase. By that time the horse
man was quarter of a mile away. At Fifty
fourth street the rider pulled in his right
arm and the horse turned like a flash and
tore down toward the East river, and for q
time was lost to sight. There were crowds
following all along the line until the Ninety
second street ferry was reached, when the
horseman caught boat for Astoria and
eluded his pursuers. The man is supposed tC
he Jack Wright, a noted character Of As
toria. Never in the recent history of New
York has such a commotion been caused by
single man.

PATENT LEGISLATION
The Scientific Americans Comments
on Recent Propositions.

New YORK, March 90 The Scientific
American says with regard to recent legisla-
tion in connection with the issuance of pat
ents: 'House bill 3925, introduced
by the Hon. Mr.. Calkins, of Indiana,
provides substantially that if the inventor OF
owner of patent shall dare to attempt &c
sustain his rights by bringing suit against
infringers he shall recover no COSTS aud shall
pay to the infringer's lawyer a counsel fee Of
$50 Gt'S bill was passed in the house of rep
resen. by an enormous majority or
Janua. Il, and is now before the senate for
concurrence. The members who voted for il
apparently regard it as q very upright pro
ceeding to encourage the inventor to revea
his invention by passing laws to give him q
patent, and then passing other laws to de
prive him of the benefit of said patent. This
is the way congress exemplifies integrity and
fair dealing before the people.
"House bill 1884, introduced by Mr.. Vance
of North Carolina, provides substantially
that any person may use any patented article
he pleases without liability, but shall become
liable after receiving notice that patent ex
lists: and may then require the patentee K
give him the use of the patent for royalty
to be named by the courts, thus robbing the
patentee in the first instance, and then de
priving him of the control Of his patent. The
bill was passed by the house Jan. 22, 1884, by
a vote of Ia yeas to nays.
House bill 3,G17, introduced by Mr. An.
derson of Kansas, reduces the lifetime of 6
patent from seventeen years to five years
Not yet passed, but perhaps soon will be by &
great ma jority, as there is no member in the
house who has so far ventured to say word
in protest, or speak in favor Of inventors OF
the present patent system
"In the senate the bill introduced by Mr..
Voorhees,, of Indiana Is, 1853, provides ii
effect that all patents shall be free to the
public This bill caps the climax; it has MOI
yet been passed, but soon will be if the mem
bers of the senate share in the views of tn,

reports au1 will submit the same to the
house at the first opportunity. Representa-
tive Miller, Chairman of the committee
on militia, is of opinion that the

government, in order that they may
be uniform in kind and calibre stating that
1t Is equally manifest that the annual sum
necessary 10 furnish and arm the seventeen
states as originally allowed under section
LODI Of the revised statues, enacted in 1903,
IS not sufficient to furnish thrty-eight states,
as now required. The bill is very similar to
the bill introduced by Senator Seweil, and

bill. This information comes from source
entitled to credence. The reason for this is
said to be that the president considers
that the executive pardon restoring
Porter to citizenship is as big a boon
as ought to be conferred upon
him He does not think the evi-
dence proves him guiltless by any means,
although it has modified his offense suffici-
entity to show that the original sentence
was excessive in its severity. That Porter
allowed his jealousy and ill-feeliag against
Pope to prevent his hearty cooperation with
the latter, however, the president regards
as too plain to be overcome by the evi-
dence which has been submitted, and his
respect for the original court martial, for the
opinion of Lincoln, and for the large major
ity Of his own party friends in congress who
have so ably, though vainly, opposed the
passage of the bill, will induce him to with
hold his approval. The bill may not reach

THE PRETTY GIRLS OFKIOTO.

Dark blue, unrelieved by any variety, is
the ordinary walking dress OF the ladies,
and women in lower stations adopt the
custom. The southern blood OF the Kioto
ladies revels IN colors OF brighter hue. A
peacock Is nothing to Kioto girl out for
the day. A paroquet Is more closely imi-
tatea in respect OF plumage. Bright reds,
violets, greens, and yellows are frequently
seen adjoining the same little person.
Where matronhood suggests greater sobri-
ETY., the average is struck with the assist
ance OF the baby. Children are dressed in
the most fantastic style, looking like little
cardinals as they play about the streets in
long, wadded robes OF many coIors. 1t is
notable that while in the North women
and children carrying infants on their back
wrap them closely up within their dress.
so that nothing but a little round head is
visible, the Kioto women, while obliged to
inclose the babe within their garment,
are careful to leave hanging loosely
outside in full view the child's
cloak. A purple cloak picked out with
red and lavishly turned up with yell
low at the sleeves is too precious gift to
bc withheld from the enjoyment OF the
public. There mo some pretty girls in
TOXIC ana 1okonama, ana tnere are some
ugly ones in Kioto. Eight out OF every
ten girls met in the streets OF kiOto
are good-looking, and five are de-
cldedly pretty. They wear their hair
differently from their sisters In the
north, who, for the most part, are con-
tent to observe the general local Gus
tom Of arranging it in a chlgnon at the
back. In Kioto a young lady takes the
chignon pad, and, instead Of laying it flat
to her head, fixes it at right angles, after
which all kinds OF arrangements are posi-
BILE. Artificial flowers are largely used to
complete the adornment OF the KIotO
bellies hair. In the north, except on high
festive occasions, this is very rare; girls
there are content with thrusting a pin
through the chignon. The Kioto girl has
several pins, in addition to gayly-colored
flower, wired so that it may stand an inch
or two above the topmost flight OF her hair.

I Notes and Queries

One Of the most curious of the many sto-
ries connected with the more modern phase
OF the Noce di Beneyento is that OF 4 man
Of some note and property living in the
little commune OF Canemorto, near Rieti,
to whom 1t was reported that his wife at
tended these mysterious night gatherings,
notwithstanding the distance at which they
resided from Benevento. The wife sue
eeeded for long time in evading all the
INQUIRIES he directed to the point,
but one day when. instead OF me-
nacing her, he treated the matter as
though it interested him, and be de-
sired to be initiated into the mysteries
she not only took HIM INTO confidence, but
excited his imagination so much with the
tale OF the joys OF the swift ride through
the air, the sumptuous banquets, and en-
chanting dances at the journeys end, that,
in part because she had raised his desires,
nd in part because he felt unable to credit
her story without personal experience,
he consented TO accompany her on the &C.
casiOn OF her next attendance at the weird
entertainment. When the day came round
he found she had not overstated the
case. The dance Of the witches was
astounding; nothing could be more appe-
out in abundance upon the soil. One only
thing which marred the feast was the abb
sence Of salt; at his wife's instance, how
ever, even this was procured. When it
arrived he at sight happened to exclaim :
" Ha, the salt is come at last, thank God J"
At sound OF the holy name the whole
scene, witches. broom-torches, and yiands
disappeared in the twinkling OF an eye,
and nothing remained for the unluckv
husband but to pass the remainder Of the
night in blacklist darkness on the cold
ground. In the morning, falling in with
some country people, who wore costume
and spoke dialect to which he was unac-
customed, he learned that he was indeed
at Benevento, though he had gone to bed
at CanemortO. All these facts he declared
on his oath before the Judges of Reiti, nor
could they by any means shake his deposit

TIE DEAD PAST.
Prehistoric Man in Egypt and Syria.


The Victoria Institute held a meeting
worthy OF the occasion on Tuesday. when
its members crowded the large theatre OF
the Society OF Arts kindly lent for
the occaslon) to overlooking, many being
obliged TO imprOyiSe seats or stand ut the
entrance. Such was the welcome it ac-
corded to one OF its old members, Vice
Chancellor Dawson, NJ. A., OF McGill Uni
yersity, Montreal, at whose instance the
British Association visits Canada this year.
The chair was taken by Sir III. Barkly, o..
{. VI. e., X. &. b., +. Il. s., and after Cap
tain Frank Petrie, the honorable secretary,
had read the minutes OF the previous meet
ing, he called upon DR.. Dawson to read his
paper on Prehistoric Man in Egypt and
SYRIA" The paper was illustrated by
large diagrams and many Anticipates,
knives, and bones OF extinct animals,
which had been examined by Professor
BOYD Dawkins, +. X. :. In dealing with
his subject, DR.. Dawson remarked that
great interest attaches to any remains
which. in countries historically so old, may
indicate the residence OF man before the
dawn OF history. In Egypt nodules Of
flint are very abundant in the Eocene
limestones, and, where these have been
wasted away, remain on the sur
face. In many places there is good
evidence that the flint thus to be
found everywhere has been used for the
manufacture OF flakes, knives, and other
implements. These, as is well known,
were used for many purposes by the an
cient Egyptians, and in modern times gun
llints and strike.Iights still continue TO be
made. The debris OF worked fllnts found
on the surface is thus OF little value as an
indication OF any flint-folk preceding the
old Egvptians. 1t would be otherwise IL
flint indictments could be found in the
older erayels OF the country. Some OF these
belong TO period OF partial submergence
OF the Nile Valley. Flint implements
had been alleged TO be found IN these
grayels, but there seemed to be no
good evidence 10 prove that they
are other than the chips broken by
mechanical violence in the removal
OF the gavel by torrential action.
In the Lebanon numerous cayerns exist.
These were divided into two classes, with
reference 10 their origin; some being wa
ter-cayes or tunnels OF subterranean rivers,
others sea-cayes, eXcavated by the waves
when the country was at flower level than
at present. Both kinds have been occupied
by man. and some OF them undoubtedly at
n time anterior TO the Ph9nician occupa-
ton OF the country, and even at
a time when the animal inhabitants
and geographical features OF the re-
zion were different from those OF the
present day. They were thus OF various
ages, ranging from the post-glacial or ante
dIluyian period to the time OF the Pheni.
elan occupation. DR.. Dawson remarked
that biologists In these days had an aver.

TARS DRINKING TODDY.
An Oflcer en- the Dale Raises the Cry Of
Nfutiny.

The cry OF "mutiny on the United
States vessel Dale" startled the marine
guard OF the Naval Academy at Annapolis
Wednesday night, and squad OF six ma.
rines hurried TO the ship lying in the
Severn to arrest the mutineers.
The officer Of the ship ordered the
matches battened and the yards braced 10
meet an expected blow. when the hatcnes
went over their broatbing-holes the sailors
down below, who, II appears, had broken
in the Iiquof-chest and pantry, and with
alcohol and sugar had made toddy, rushed
for the upper deck. This demonstration
the officer in charge construed TO be mutt
nous, and the marine guard was sent FOR
10 arrest them. A number OF the sailors
were found by the guard half-seas over "
lying quiet in their nammocks, and were
not disturbed. but two others were arrest
ed and placed in confinement.
The ships carpenter coming aboard Just
AZ the arrests were made and making an in
quiry to know whether or not he had been
marked for over.stayiDg his time, was
taken to be drunk and arrested as a mutt
neer. He was subsequently released.
Boatswain Mat Murray and Seaman Lewis
were also released this afternoon.
