WASHINGTON LETTER.


From our Regular Correspondent.
WARRINGTON, ID. c., Nov, Is. 1885.
The new civil service commission
has been organized here by the election
OF Mr.. Edgert0n as its president.
That its administration under the new
board will be the deadest kind of a dead
failure there can be no manner of
doubt, inasmuch as Eaton the tender
footed and weak -kneed New York end
Of it will be the be-all and end all of the
whole outfit. And even if Eaton were
out of the way. as everybody hoped he
would be, there is no board of three, or
any other number, who can satisfactOr-
NV administer s law which was never
intended to be satisfactorily admins
terd. Indeed the provisions of the
civil service act are nothing but a series
OF incongrnities and downright stupidi-
ties, which the coming Congress, if it
means to be sincere in tho adoption of a
reform, must Internationally and abSo-
lutely wipe out and substitute a new
act based upon something like common
sense.
There has neyer been an important
invention introduced to the public in
this country whose discoverer has not
been compelled at some time or other
to fight off some or anky pretendef who
away back In some long forgotten
period had evol ved the same identical
thing, but had not sufficient faith in
his discovery to apply for a patent.
Here is Bell Of the telephone, whose
discovery and application OF the trans
mission OF sounds through the human
veice, has sci the whole world at talk
ing and whose Invention is scarcely less
OF = benefaction to the human race
than the telegraph itself, is now for
about the hundredth time drawn into
court to confront another fraudulent
pretender by name of Rogers who has
invoked the aid OF one of the Cabinet
to secure foothold against Bell in the
courts, by giving the said Cabinet
member a million and half sdollars in
the stock of the company which shall
have established by legal decision the
priority of the discovery Of the teIe.
phone. There is no doubt tha. the
principle OF transmission of sounds
over wires by the means of electricity
was discovered long before Professor
Bell was bern, but the writer of this
correspondence knows the fact that
Bell was giving his exhibitions i'm pub
lie halls in all the large cities of the

Alcohol and tobacco produce

great energy which in most cases
was crowned with the best results.
His proclamation to thecattle rangers

Famous Medicine Men.

Messrs. Root & Tinker, of New York
City, who have published from time to
time handsome lithograph portraits OF
the prominent journalists OF the United
States and Great Britain have just is
sued a very attractive engraving, % by
28 inches, of the leading Proprietary
Medicine Manufacturers of the United
States, including DR.. j. q. Aver, T.. l.
Hood, DR.. Hostetter of "HostetteI s
Bitters. John Hodge of merchants
Gargling OIL" Mr.Scott of "Scott's f.
mulsion," DR.. J. III. Schenck, H. E.
Bucklen of Electric Bitters," MIR.
Po we'll of Iron Bitters," DR.. Tut,
DR.. Brandreth of "Brandreth's Pills, ="
and ii. II. Warner of Warmers Safe
Cure" and "Tippecanoe" fame. We
doubt If a more attractive looking
groupe of eleven men could be got to-
gether from any one walk of life. AS
is quite appropriate, the central figure
is H. III. Warner, the background of
whose vignette is his trade mark of an
iron safe, inscribed with the name OF
the famous Warmers Safe Remedies.
Mr.. Warner is the most prominent as
well as the most successful proprietary
medicine manufacturer this country
has yet produced, and his zeal in the
prosecution of his business grew out OF
the fact, in large measure, that he him +.
self, when given up to die as incurable
of an extreme kidney disorder, in 1879,
was cured by the remedy to which he
has given worldwide fame-''Warner 8
Safe Cure" The sale of the "War-
ner's Safe Remedies" has been so wide
ly extended that warehouses and labor
atories for their manufacture have been
established in all quarters of the globe,
not the least prosperous being one in
far distance Australia. People have
erroneous notions, both Of the motives
and character of proprietary medicine
men. AS rule they are solid, SubStan.
tlal, trustworthy citizens, who win the
success that comes to them purely on
the merit Of the goods they produce
and of the work they perform. This is
especially true of the central figure of
this group. This picture hanging side
by side with prominent journalists, re-
ligious, political and foreign, will prob
ably attract more attention than those
famous editorial writer's, because there
is hardly a person who walks the street,
who has not either used some Of the
remedies manufactured Dy these men /,
or had their interest stimulated in the
gentlemen themselves by the record
made by their remedies among personal
friends. This picture is sent out with
the compliments of Mr.. IL. FL. Warner,
who. besides having won such distin-
guished fame as the manufacturer of
"Warner's Safe Cure" is we'll known
as the founder of the "Warner Astron-
omical Observatory" o Rochester, N Y,
and the Warner Astronomical Pri
zes," for cometary discovery, so eagerly
sought for by astronomers all over the
world. Mr.. Warner is a self made
man. and those who know him best say
that the success which he has won thus
early in life (he being at present not
over As years of age, is in all respects
eminently deserved, for he is man of
very broad views and wlde-extended
liberality.

Miscellaneous News.

The Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany will soon begin drilling for gas at
Kane to light their shops, round house,
offices and yard. IL successful, it is
rumored, the foundry and iron works
at Ronoyo will be removed to the for

A destructive fire at Galveston, Tex
as. swept over large part of the city
on last Friday. Fifty-two blocks, con-
tanning about 400 houses, were burned
and tie loss of property is placed be-
tween 81, SOC. 900 and S2,O0O,OOO. The
city presents frightful picture of des.
olation. A remarkable fact ia however
that no liyes were lost during the terri

The Confusion Of Europe.

BERLIN, Nov. 1.-THE Post says :
Only Austria was able to perform the
task, unpleasant to her, of restraining
Servia. The result of the present
complications will be Ruscian de-
scent upon Bulgaria. and if Turkey
interferes Mr.. Gladstone will raise the
cry of Turkish atrocities and upset
the Conservative Government then
the confusion of Europe will be COM
plete.
The Frankfort Gazette says it will
be a miracle if Austria and Russia
are not drawn into the struggle.
The Cologne Gazette says it is
convinced that the Turk will be driv-
en- from Europe.

SERVIA DECL ARES WAR.
a Formal Announcement Of
Hostilities With Bulgaria
The Sit uation in Roum-
ella.

LONDON, Nov. 14.-Servia has declar-
ed war against Bulgaria.
PHILIPoPPoLIs. Nov. 1S'-Seventy-
FIVE Thousand men have been raised in
Eastern Roumelia. Drilling is going
on continuously. Prince Alexander
and Premier Karaveloff will remain
here until a final decision has been
reached by the Balkan conference.
The government has information
that the bulk OF the Seryian army has
marched to Lescoyic and Vrania and
is facing the Turks. 1t is thought
probably that this movement has been
made because Turkey is arming the
Albanian militia.
A fresh military conscription has
been commenced. The ardor of the
people is unabated.
PARIS, Nov. 13.-It is reported from
Nissa that all the powers, except Eng
land, have suspended relations with
Bulgaria.
RUsTCHUK, Nov. 13.-Persistent re-
ports are current to the effect that Rus
sia intends to withdraw her Consuls
from Bulgaria. Such action, it is be-
lieved would excite the Bulgarians a
gainst Prince Alexander. The reports
create bad impression.
BELGRADE, Nov. 17.-The Serviau
Government has called out the second
and third corps of reserves.
The Servian division marching on
Widdin gave battle to the Bulgarians
near Widdin and inflicted upon them
a crushing defeat. The loss was heavy
on both sides. The Seryians captur-
ed 1000 prisoners.

his application to the public use and no
one i'm this country or any other had
during that long period advanced a
single pretention to question his right
to the discovery. But the success
that has attended the introduction of
Bells great invention has excited the
cupidity of a myriad Of fellows, who,
like Rogers, will doubtless find friends
and money enough to keep up a con-
slant igh. upon him in the courts To
say nothing Of the repeated decisions in
favor of Bell in the Patent Office by its
