HULL APT TO DIE.

The Roof OF the Orbit OF His Left
Eye Broken by the Tough.
CHICAGO, Dec. Paul Hull, the re-
porter of the Daily News, who wrote up
the debauch in Wasserman's beer cellar,
and was assaulted Tuesday by
"Buck" Mccarthy, of the stock yards,
was unconscious nearly all Of yesterday,
and his condition last night was so alarm
ing that his relatives were sent for. The
shock resulting from the blows, his ply
sicIans say, was alone sufficient to cause
him serious injury, but in addition the
roof of the orbit of his left eye is frac-
tured, and the resulting internal hemor-

The arrival at the Joliet Peniten-
tiary of two Indians convicted of
killing beef when they were suffer-
ing for food indicates that there is
law enough out west for common Of
tenders, however deficient the sup
ply may be when the big thieves are
to be dealt with. AS rule the
starving Indian who kills beef is
killed as soon as the retalners of the
cattle barons can catch up with him,
but in this case there seems to have
been a miscarriage of that kind of
justice. Ordinarily the thief should
be sternly dealt with. The Indians
who steal must be made an example
of, even though he may be starving
And yet, in country where it is no
crime to steal from the savage and
where the grab-all principle seems
to have been adopted by the whites
as the supreme law of the land, it
looks like a small business to send
a couple of barbarians several thou
thousand miles to suffer imprison-
ment for an offencel committed III
obedience to the instinct of self-pres
ervation which is inherent in every
creature.

The speculative character Of the
average American makes him very
good subject for the missionary la
bors of men who wish to interest
him in the division of some imagin-
airy estate in England of which he
may think he is an heir. Of the
dozens of such cases that have come
to public notice in the last fifty years
few, if any, have ever resulted in the
distribution of property in this coun-
try, but some sharp lawyers and
claim agents have managed to make
a comfortable living out of their
assessments.
How persistent the American is in
the pursuit of wealth under these
circumstances is shown by the fact
that the so-called "Lawrencc-T Town
ley heirs" have held national con-
vention at Detroit, and subscribed
$4,000 for prosecuting the investiga-
ton of their claims still further.
Less than a month ago United States
Minister Phelps reported that there
was no such estate in England, anc
that the heirs to one OF two Lawrence
estates were already in possession
In spite of this, however, the inter
est in the Internationally delu
sion continues undated. Americans
with level heads will put their trus
in their American uncles, and /
they go back on them, they will g
to work and earn something TO
themselves.

ton, which proved to be very disa-
greeabie episode.
There was an interesting confer
ence this week in the room of the
senate committee on patents, the
Hawley bill on international copy
right being argued at length. There
was notable assemblage in the
room, authors, publishers, and print
ers being present, and all parties in
terested were heard but the printer
and the book buying public. Mr..
Clemens MARX Twain,) George
Ticknor Curtis, and James Russell
Lowell, exhibited States minister to
England, were among those who dis
cussed the merits of the question be-
fore the committee. The latter made
an extensive argument for the bill,
telling what proprietary interest in
ideas meant, etc. He said there was
a feeling that books, like umbrellas,
were Fere nature. Nobody sup
posed there could be property in an
idea, but there was property in the
fashion given to an idea. The con-
stitution had already recognized that
in comforting the power to grant
patents. Patents were ideas fash
toned in certain way. For instance
the Bell telephone was case pre-.
cisely parallel with books, and there
were a great many people in this
country interested in the Bell tele-
phone.
The first evening reception of the
season at the white house was given
to the general public, and the parlors
were as deliberately decorated as if
prepared for a state dinner. The
hours named were from nine to
eleven, but long before that hour the
crowd began to assemble on the por-
tico and soon extended to the west
ern gate. The stream of callers was
continuous for hours and without
incident. 1t was strictly a peoples
reception. Neither diplomats, con-
gressmen nor society people were
there. They prefer attending card
receptions, which are never SO
crowded. There were very few
evening toilets among the visitors,
almost all of them being in street
costume. AS usual, the president
was cordial, and seemed to enjoy
seeing the folks, and shook hands
solicitously with every man, woman
and child.
