The usual bi-weokly tea given by the
ladies OF the Delaware Field Club yester
day afternoon was the most successful Of
the series. The entertainment was 10
charge Of Mrs. J. r Smith and Mrr.
Walter Buah. Refreshments, consisting Of

ilsvors were served to all After the guests
had done iuntice to the eatables, tennis was
INDUCED in, and oil Of the IS or IA courts
were soon In use. The club contains
some expert tennis players and
many OF the ladies esn WELD the
racquet with great skin. The games were
kept up until nearly o'clock. This was
the best attended tea drinking yet held.
In the evening the club held an informal

danger till he was struck by the moving
car, which ran over and severed his arm
near the shoulder end badly mangled his
left hip. A physician was hastily sum
moned, and the injured mao made as COM
forsabls as possible. but the doctor says
there is little hope of his recovery. There
is no suspicion OF criminal intent on the
part of Sackrider, for he professed much
sorrow and showed much detection after
the sad affair. At last accounts the man
was resting somewhat easier.

Tho children who we're so seriously in
jured last night on Front ST., by a pile Of
lumber falling on them are doing as well
this afternoon as can be expected. The
full extent Of the iaJaries cannot be deter
mined for a day Of tWo.
DR.. G. 2 Baird, who attended Harry
Zweifel, considers that his chances for re-
covery are very slim Ia addition to the
fracture Of the thigh bone, be fears the boy
is injured internally. tug cannot yet tell to
what extent. he wil put permanent
dressing on tbs boys Lex this afternoon.
Early this afternoon be was singing and
talking in a wild deiiF,um. It is said that
Harry Zweifel might have escaped unin-
iured had he not eldeavored to save little
Yioletta Hyatt.
DR.. J. Harmer Eile says that Violetts
Hyatt has no bones broken: she is very sore
from the bruises. Il will be day or two
before it can ba told whether she is intern
ally injured or not The wound on her
head is only a scrapa and not serious.
Maud Hazsl is seriously injured and lies
in critical condition. Or. w. f. Quimby
considers the wound on the little girls head
very serious. There is danger OF concus.
sion Of the brain. The child was uncon-
cious until this morning, when she reused
to answer q question. When the doctor
arranged the baudage on her broken collar
bone, however, she lapsad again into IN
consciousness.

sands have ever proved Of profit TO their
owners, and you get some little idea Of
the thoughts which crowd upon one as he
stands here.
This patent Office is a gorgeous mausoleum
Of dead hopes. Such fortunes as it repre-
sents have as a rule not been received by the
men who made the successful inventions, and
these models represent less than one-thou-
sandth part of the numerous mechanical
conceptions of the American mind. And
what wonderful mind it isl The subjects
dealt with affect every branch of human in
dustry and life.
Note how the sifblime in almost every one
Of these cases tramps closely ON the heels of
the ridiculous. By singing out the crazy
contrivances, some Of which exist ia nearly
every case, you could alInoss prove the
Americans an insane nation, and in the case
of the minds of nine-tenths of these inventors
common sense seems to have had no part
Take this case Of tofnbstones, for instance
and the models are Of every shape, character
and color. Here II a glass pyramid topped
with a silver ball and placed on a stone ped
estal In its sides are loolingglass panels,
and faded flowers now dusty from age are
twined about it. The inscription upon it is:
Home Of deceased friend. Peace to his ashes.
Another glass pyramid tombstone is made
to be filed with artificial flowers, and the
tombstones which have places in them for
the exhibition of the picture or photograph
of the corpse beneath are numerous. One Of
these was patented in 1851, and it has a
ghostly daguerreotype in it. The name on
this tombstone is that Of John Smith, and
others near by sacrilegiously bear the names
Of George Washington and Abraham Lin
coin. One Of these pictured tombstones has
imbedded in its side highly colored group
representing mother and child weeping,
and doubt not the intention is to show that
tho father lies below. Some Of these snonu-
ments are made of tin. some are of zinc and

The suspicion has been expressed several
times within the last few days that H. L.
Lichtenstein had not left the country, but
was awaiting 10 some safe spot the devel-
opments Of his case In this city, with the
view Of returning home should the outlook
be favorable to his immunity from arrest.
The EVENING JOURNAL, has learned upon
excellent authority that letter from Mr.
Lichtenstein, having the postmark OF
Queenstown, Ireland, had been re-
csiyed by his family few
days ago. This letter was written on the
voyage across the Atlantic and was mailed
at Queenstown, where bis vessel touched
on its way to Liverpool. The letter stated
that the writer's hsalth was not good, but
that he hoped for better things after he
reached the Continent, to which he was
bound.

The patent Office is one Of tho few depart

expenses. Its receipts amount to over

was given to a Washington man named

patent sewing machine is labeled "a sewing
engine 1t looks as though it might make
wire fence instead OF sew cloth. and it was
patented in the days Of President Tyler. It
was not till a decade later that the practical
sewing machine was invented, and the instru-

their machines may here be seen. They had
years OF trouble before they were able to
introduce them, but they made fortunes out
OF their inventions before they died.
