twelfth century, and we have no reason
to suppose that it was in use in England
until the thirteenth or the beginning of
the fourteenth. 1t is understood to have
been brought westward from Italy where
it was in use earlier; and believe that
our word paper-a corruption, of course,
of, papyrus-is considered to have been
borrowed, with the article itself, from
the French. l saw, years ago i'll Paris
/ believe they belonged to the royal col
lection Git was in the time of Louis Phil
lippe) few of the earliest documents on
paper known, belonging TO Western Eu-
/ rope, in the period since the Romans,
which interested me much. They con-
sisted of receipts, or, rather, bonds, for
money borrowed from the Jews in the
time of Ceur de Lion, given by chiefs
who were starting for his crusade, and,
if 1 remember well the paper resembled
much that of the Fifteenth and Sixteenth
centuries, except that 1t was of a rather
coarse texture. 1t would seem as if, in
the west, its use ut this early
period was known principally among
the Jews. Now l am just
passing through the press an
edition on Il glossary of Latin and
English-or, as we are accustomed to call
it, Anglo-SaXon-wordsO of. | think, not
later than the middle of the tenth CEN
fury. We may safely look upon it as the
English of the days of Athelstan; and in
the part of which l have just received the
proof | find papyrus, paper. The word
paper does not occur III DR.. Bosworth's
or any other AnglO-SaXOn dictionary,
but we have here evidence that it was in
use i'll our language at a very early
period, and there can be no doubt that
we derive it from the Anglo-SaXon
and have not taken it from the French
of the middle ages. But this fact
leads to another, namely, that our
Anglo-SaXon forefathers, to have the
word in an Anglo-SaXOn form in their
own language must have been pretty
well acquainted with paper itself, and no
doubt they found the Roman paper in use
i'll the island when they came. 1t is
fact, indeed which opens to us several
others, equally new, i'll the social history
of our Anglo-SaXOn fOrefathers. l need
hardly add that paper probably never
went entirely out of use i'll Western Eu
rope after the Roman times, and little
research might still throw some curious
light upon its history during the early
Middle Ages. 1t certainly was not sup
posed before that it might be i'll use
among the AnglO-SaXOns. -

4 Fire and Fight.

Special to the Gazette.
MCKINNEY, TEX. g, Dec. 25.-Christmas
fireworks last night fired frame build
ing owned by ]. S. and S. d. Heard ,
and used by Throckmort0n & Wells for
storing hay. The hook and ladder COM
pany cut the building i'll two and saved
half. The north half with its contents
was burned, The loss is $3.50 on the
building and $500 on contents.
During the fire an encounter occurred
between j. 7. Stovall, assistant chief of
the engine and hose company, and Wood
Mcdonald, chief of the hook
and ladder. Stovall was bruised.
This afternoon J. S. Stovall, father of
the young man ,accosted Wood Mcdonald
But few words were exchanged when
fight resulted, StOvall was shot in the
neck and in the left side It is impossi-
able to diagnose his wounds further than to
say they are grave and serious results are
feared, Mcdonald has flesh wound
from Il knockdOwn and bullet wound
but is not dangerously hurt. The affair
is greatly to be dtplored. The young
men are impetuons end high tempered.

BIG MONEY IN LITTLE THINGS.

The rubber tip at the end of lead pen
ellis has yielded f20 900.
Upward of f2O0O Il year was made by
the inventor of the common needle
threader.
The inventor of the roller skates made
over goo 900, notwithstanding the fact
that his patent had nearly expired before
its value was ascertained.
A large fortune has been reaped by g
miner who invented a metal rivet or eye
let at each end of the mouth of coat and
trousers pockets to resist the strain
caused by the carriage of pieces of ore
and heavy tools.
The gimlet-pointed screw has produced
more wealth than most silver mines, and
the American who first thought of put
ting copper tips to children IS shoes is as
well off as if his father had left him
f400 900 in United States bonds.
As large Il sum as was ever obtained
for any invention was enjoyed by the in
ventOr of the inverted glass bell to hang
over gas to protect ceilings from being
blackened, and scarcely less lucrative
patent was that for simply putting emery
powder on cloth.
In recent legal action it transpired in
evidence that the inventor of the metal
plates used to protect soles and heels of
boots from wear sold upward of u ,000,-
600 plates in 1879, and i'll 1887 the num-
Der reached l43 900 900, producing
realized profits of quarter of million of
money.
Few inventions pay better than popular
patented toys. A clergyman realized
E400 a week by the invention of strange
little plaything to be seen for n long time
in every toy shop window, and even in
the streets of London. That favorite
American toy, the "return ball"
"A wooden ball with an elastic
attached-yielded the patentee an
income equal to Gl0 900 year,
and an income of no less than fl5 900
per annum to the inventor of the
''dancing Jim Crow The inventor of
"Pharaoh 5 serpents, a toy much in
vogue some years ago, was the outcome
of come chemical experiments, and
brought the inventor more than fl0 900.
The sale of the little wooden figure 'John
Gilpin, - was incredibly large for many
years, and very ingenious toy known
as the "wheel of life,' is said to have
produced upward of fl0O 600 profit to its
inventor. One of the most successful of
modern toys has been. the "chameleon
top, - the sale of which has been enOr-
nous.

Special to the Gazette,
SAN ANTONIO, TEX, Dec. 25.-Gen-
eral d. S. Stanley, commander of the
department of Texas, and First Lieuten-
ant d. j. Rumbough, his son-in- law
and aide-de-camp, who were arrested at
Austin yesterday, particulars of which
have been furnished the press from that
city, returned to their headquarters at
the post here at a late hour last night.
General Stanley was beSieged by report
ers all day, but was not inclined to talk
much about the Austin affair, which he
laughingly refers to as q joke. He
says he went to Austin ut the direction of
the secretary of war with instructions to
order Snyder, the squatter, off the prop
erty. He further declares that he will
take no other action i'll the matter until
he again hears from Secretary EndicOtt
and then if directed so to do, as he antic-
ipates, he will eject the obstreperous
sQuatter by force of arms. He is of opin-
ion, however, that the mayor of Austin
is the proper official to remove SNYDER, as
the property in dispute has been decided

partner ut the time of the failure and
was i'll no way liable legally. His en-
dOrsement, it is understood, is made on
purely "moral grounds. - To cover the
remaining so per cent. of the creditors
accounts Kershaw will turn over

Aa Ocean Steamer Burned.

SEATTLE, W. T., Dec. 25.-The
steamer Left Erickson was burned to the
waters edge at O'Clock yesterday
morning off Alki Point, five miles west
of this city. Five lives were lost per-
haps seven. The Left Erickson was pro-
peller of twenty-four tons burden and
piled between Seattle and Sidney, and
was ell route to Sidney when the
accident occurred. The fire broke
out in the pilot house and it is believed to
have been caused by lamp explosion.
Another theory is that demijohn in the
pilot house was broken and the whisky
ran through to the boiler and ignited.
There were thirty-siX people aboard at
the time. The fire spread instantly
throughout the interior of the cabin. The
boat was about two miles from shore.
Captain John Nieuben, owner of the
boat, was i'll command He left
the wheel-house for the purpose
of launching the life raft, but found the
passengers trying to put the raft over
board. In the struggle to rescue the
raft from the passengers Captain Nieu-s
ben fell overheard with the raft. Mean
time passengers, putting on life-presery-
ers and SEEING firewood or anything that
would float,
JUMPED OVERHEARD.
Captain Nieuben saw his niece, Miss
Annie Tolltmer, daughter of Mrs. TOllt-
mer of Sidney, struggling i'll the water
about fifty feet from him. lie did his
utmost to push the raft toward her, but
she was drowned less than one hundred
feet away from him. He was hampered
with gum boots and was almost helplesss
The steamer Skagit Chief to Tacoma saw
the fire and crowded on steam to give as
sistance. She rescued seven people. The
steamer MOuntaineer saw the burning
vessel four miles away, and the captain
headed straight for her. When within
half Il mile of her they found people
struggling i'll the water, lowered
small boats and rescued nineteen per-
sons. One man was taken from
the water and died a few minutes after.
His name is unknown. He said just be-
fore dying that his wife was lost from the
steamer. The list of lost is as follows:
MISS ANNIE TOLLTIIER of Sidney.
J H. NoREsUs, Sidney.
JACK SIMMONS, half-breed fisherman.
7. SMITH of Smith, Taylor s. Co.,
Colby.
And the man and wife whose names
could not be learned. -
The survivors report another woman
lost. The steamer burned to the waters
edge and has no doubt sank. The
MOuutaineer with the survivors arrived
here last evening. :,

Bleached Mustaehes in Vogue.

hair and lip full of white bristles at.
tracted the attention of a dealer in wigs
yesterday: He said: "That is the
latest fad. The man has bleached his
mustache. The bleach is not applied by
hairdressers, but is sold in bottles and
applied at home. One application CT the
bleach will turn q fierce red lnustache

now as were worn six months ago, for
the bleach is becoming popular. Boards
are treated in the same way, and men
with dark hair and light mustaches are
increasing every day. The bleach is in

restore the original color is to shave the
mustache off and let it grow out again

ABOUT PAPER.
Some Interesting Facts Concerning Its Origin.
When Was Linen Paper First Made?
The Paper Mill.

When Was Linen Paper First Made?
The Paper Mill.
This query is an ever recurring one in
the literature of the day and has come to
be regarded by many in the light of a
"Who struck Billy Patterson?' ques-
ton. Nevertheless there is peculiar
charm attaching to the subject, and the
Paper Mill can never find it i'll its heart
TO deal curtly with the eternal question:
ers. We have raked up the following
facts from few musty tones, which,
we trust, will please numerous CORE
spOndents, and prove as interesting to
them as it has been labOrious for us to
unearth them. 1t is not known when
paper was first made from linen rags
nor to whom we owe the invention
DR.. PrideauX is of the opinion that
linen paper was brought from the east,
because many of the Oriental manuscripts
are written upon it. Mabilon is of the
opinion that the invention belongs to the
twelfth century. One of the earliest
specimens of paper from linen rags yet
discovered is a document with the seal
preserved bearing date A. d. 1888,
signed by AdOlphus, count of Schaum-
burg Casiri, however, asserts that
there are in the EScurial a number of
manuscripts both upon cotton and linen
paper, which were written prior to the
thirteenth century. The invention was
early introduced into England, for some
acts in existence of John Crandon,
prior of Ely, made on linen paper
bear date in the fourteenth year of
the reign of King Edward II. A. D.
1920; and in the Cottonian Library are
said to be several writings on this kind of
paper as early as the year 1885. Some
twenty years ago Mr.. Thomas Wright, in
a note to the London Atheneum, wrote:
