Many of the devices for which letters are issued are trivial or chimerical or so useless that nothing ever comes of them, Patents are issued now on each of several parts of one machine, where formerly one general patent covered the whole thing. This is in part attributed to the influence oi lawyers. Many of the letters now given are for improvements instead of original de vices.a-New York Sun.

yesterday was harmonious gathering. A majority of the delegates were veterans who had seen years of faithful service in the ranks and to whose cheeks the very mention of the presidents name brought a youthful glow of honest satisfaction.
 There was also fair sprinkling of young democrats present, and all were fairly brimming over with enthusiasm for Cleve- land. The Connecticut democracy can well be proud of their days work. It will bear fruit. ... ..,... er-

A NEW and characteristic method of de-
 feating the course of British justice has been introduced in Ireland. When the
 trial of MT O'Brien was resumed yesterday the sitting magistrate announced that bur glars had broken into the court and taken all the dispositions and warrants in the case. This unfeeling behavior of the bur- glars made it necessary to begin the trial again from the beginning. 9 In Dublin a recurrence of this interference with justice may be prevented. Tn the country, how ever, the records of courts, which ordinary thieves have of course no temptation to steal, are doubtless ill defended, and a moderate degree of mischieyous enterprise on the part of the league may operate a stay in half the agrarian cases throughout Ireland. MT Balfour may find it necessary to amend the Crimes act so as to provide that the sitting magistrate need not have any records. A bill providing that he need not take any evidence would be still more convenient, and there, would appar- ently be no difficulty in procuring the pas sage of such a bill through the honse of commons. %t ,s,,-.

THE Mississippi tragedy appears to have been precipitated by Martin, the editor of the prohibition organ, who not only fired the first shot, but was cowardly enough to take refuge behind a tree. But General Adams, who was a brave soldier, if he was sixty-nine years old, coolly circled round the tree compelling his antagonist to keep up his lodging. Without regard to the merits of the previous quarrel the incl dents of the tragedy will incline public sympathy to the side of Adams, though as both men are dead perhaps it. doesn't make much difference. It is we'll to know, however, that southwestern prohibitionists are ready to commit murder as a means of prev enting people from drinking beer. It is an effective remedy, too. No dead man was ever known to apply for 8 licence or order barkeeper to '.set lem up again.,

the annals OF the German police. The robbers

Build the Library.


There seems to be some fear that work on the
building intended for the accommodation OF the
Congressional Library may be suspended. The
debate on the original senate bill to authorize the
purchase Of a site brought out estimates that the
building would cost 100000. These estimates
were not expert or official, and when Congress
decreed that the work should be entered upon It
was with purpose that an ample structure,
worthy OF the governments dignity ana OF the
future, as well as the immediate demands on II,
should be built, whatever IL might cost. There
was general and very proper sense that rich

gressional Library and copyright ONCE.
Now. however, that Secretary Was has frankly
said that the BUILDING Will cost upward OF $lO-
100000, the cheeseparers are alarmed. They talk
OF annulllng the contract already made for laying
the concrete foundation for the entire building
and probably they contemplate Indefinitely post
pOning the work. altering the plans so as to ad-
NIT OF smaller building. There Is no earthly
need OF this. 1t Is much better to build q l4rge
and handsome structure now, such as will give
plenty OF room and be an ornament to Washington
city, than to put up smaller building, which
would require extension In few years, at the
risk OF some such hideous architectural bOtch as
the mansard roof addition to the once beautiful
mint building In Philadelphia.
The Press Is glad to see that the Senate library
committee, regardless OF party, favors going ahead
with the work, using the best material and ar

NEAT BIT OF DETECTIVE WORK By PINKKRr0N's
MEN.
From the Philadelphia Ledger
Assistant Superintendent Dougherty, Of the
Ptnkerton agency, attributes the detection and
capture OF Express Agent Huber, OF Sunbury, Pa,
for the theft of the 500 600 package belonging to
the Adams Express CO. on August 20. 1885, to two
th1ngS-camphor and a wOmans indiscretion. He
said that Mrs. Huber had been boastiny among
her friends OF what she would be able to wear
some day, and threw out hints of big legacy.
Afterward she gave river parties, dinner parties
and other entertainments TO her friends, and had
had her house refurnished and carpeted, and new
heating apparatus put In. 1t was known that her
relatives were not wealthy. Huber also began
wearing better apparel.
Capt. DOugherty said that after suspicion had
been directed toward Huber, a PtnkerIon agent,
who got his confidence, borrowed 81 900 from him.
Capt. Linden and Dougnerty discovered strong
odor OF camphOr on the money. They argued that
IL had not come from bank but had been Secreted
In house. IL was found that Huber had had
handsome mahogany box made with secret COM
partmentS. After while the detective got Huber
interested In mining schemes and obtained another
1000 loan. This time Huber was followed TO his
home where he got the money.
The conclusion was Irresistible that the stolen
funds were secreted there. Huber was decoyed to
Philadelphia under the pretence that he was to be
witness in the case or Rathmal Pratt a clerk In
suspicion OF stealing the money. Captain Linden
started for Sunbury on Tuesday on tine very hour
when Huber TOOK the train for Philadelphia. Cap
tain Linden went straight for the mahogany box
In Huber's house, and In that receptacle found the
camphor and good part OF the money, and be-
envelopes, which had contained the cash, still
held most OF IL, so IL Is alleged.

Two Years Ago.

From the New York World.
A little over two years ago, on May 2, 1885, Gen.
Ben. Harrison attended the banquet OF the Ohio
Society OF New York, and, having been introduced
by Senator Sherman as q possible presidential
candidate, said:
"My canvass as a presidential candidate has
always been subject to this inflrmlty-that It never
had but one supporter at time. Several times
have thought that detected a promising and In
cipient boom when some gentleman who ran q
newspaper would nail his nag 10 the mast and de-
clare for Harrison for President. But before I
could get an adherent for that man he had deserted
me, and the second man became as singular and
lonesome as the nrst.s
Little did John sherman then think that In two
years he would be defeated by Harrison In such a
night for the nomination as that which has tust
closed at Chicago.

The New York Times says: Judge Alton B.
Parker, Of Kingston, who Is holding part II of the
supreme Court, special term, this week, tried q
suit between an ex-Shakeress and the United
Brotherhood Of Shakers Monday. The plaintiff is
neither fat nor fair, but she 10 forty. She tested
that she entered what she called the North
brotherhood OF Shakers, at Lebanon, N. Y, in
lS6, when she was sixteen years old, and staid
Win them until 1852. She told melancholy tale
OF hard work and self-deniaL She said that they
made perfect drudge Of her and vexed her mind
even more than they did her body by telling her
That she would go TO hell II she had rebellious
thoughts 81 had them every day TOR all that, T"
she said, "and then would be frightened almost
to death at what / had DONE" Her suit was to
recover $1,000, which her father sent her from
Time 70 time, ana which the trustees of the
brotherhood appropriated to the common use, in
pursuance with the terms OF covenant which
she signed when she joined 1t before she was OF
age. Bent Yates and another member OF the
6oard OF trustees were present as DEFENDANTS
dressed In strict Shaker garb. Miss May Charlotte
Byrdsal the plaintiff, has cast OF the shaker garb
and Was dressed In youthful and lively manner.
Her testimony satisfied the defendants lawyers
taat they had no case. and a compromise was
enected by which they paid her $500, with which
Miss Byrdsan departed smiling.
