A WOBBLY WITNESS.

There are circumstances connected
with Mr.. 4. +. Wilbcrs various atIi-
davits in the Telephone business
which, Notwithstanding the very com.
plete diagram which accompanies the
last one, will prevent them from Great
ing n great sensation or being in
corporated into the system without a
generous quantity of chloride of
sodium.
According to Mr.. WILDER, he, while
suffering from alcoholism, made afll.
davits to show that the Bell patents
were regularly obtained, and that there
was not suspicion of fraud about
their obtainment. For making those
affldavits he got the sum of 800. Mr..
Wilber now comes forward and says
that 1t was through him as an Exam.
iner of Interferences in the Patent
Office that the Bell patents were ir-
regularly and fraudulently obtained.
ISW"aerate him for his favoritism
he was allowed to borrow several small
sums Of money, the largest amount be-
ing 800, from one Of the attorneys for
the Bell interest. The attorney also
presented his wife with gold watch
and Professor Bell presented him with
n hundred.dollar bill.
This last affidavit is supposed to help
the opponents of the Bell people as the
first affidavit was supposed to injure
them. From what Mr., WILDER has told
us we know what he made out of the
Bell people, and under the circum
stances it must be admitted that he did
not come high. People will now be
likely TO inquire what he has received
from the Bell opponents. but even il
we had the figures they would not be
of much interest, for without them
of course presuming from precedcnts
that he got something--we can make
up our minds that but little value is to
be attached TO anything that he may
say. How the anti-Bell people expect
to help their cause by the use of
Mr.. WILDER it would be difficult to say,
unless they simply want to show that
Mr., Wilber is not to be believed under
oath, on oath, alongside of an oath or
any other way. If such is the case
they will, without much doubt, be
entirely successful.
THE recent hearing upon the gas

transpired at the Capitol since Congress

that the people of Washington gen.

and price of the gas they consume.
The fact OF II is they are satisfied with
neither, and In view of the showing

ground for complaint. Nor. whatever

victoria Favors opal.


Queen Victoria has made the opal
fashionable again. All the gifts Of ieweiry
that she has bestowed among her friends
for the past year have been opals. Some
times they have been set alone, sometimes
set with diamonds, but in every instance
they have been there. The queen has
always had a penchant for these alleged
unlucky stones. She has insisted that
they brought no more bad luck 10 those
wearing them than any other jewels, and
she has long tried to allay that superstl.
ton. Her rather profuse distribution Of
these stones among her friends, IL is said,
had for its object the doing away with
the superstition altogether.
The queens own Jeweler naturally
took the hint, and the other jewelers. who
we're not the queens own, but VINO were
more than willing 10 be, were not slow IN
perceIying that there was ready sale toi

knocked Larne down and covered him

to stop the difficulty came up behind Cox.
Officer Rounds rushed in, seeing Kemp
approaching Cox, and told the latter to
