Took Her Own Life.

Miss Minnie Bush, a 16-year.o old daughter
of Henry Bush, one of Jamestown's Oldest
settlers, committed suicide Wednesday
afternoon by shooting herself through the
heart. In describing the sorrowful event
the Alert says: "rhere is a rumor, gener.
ally credited, that this is a repetition of the
same old sad story. In some unguarded
moment when the girl, sinless and unde.
filed, was more under the influence of ma
ture than the cruel, arbitrary laws of Gus
tom, she yielded to mans entreaties. The
natural result followed. The girl knew
that the church and state had both
placed their blightlng touch upon this,
and unless a representative of one or the

Thirty Additional Rooms Necessary

and Yet the Inventors Mecca Has
Cramped Quarters.
Patent Office Commissioner G. II.
Mitchell Is following in the footsteps Of
his predecessors. lie wants additional
room, an increase in the force of en-.
ployes and q new laboratory. Com.
missioner Marble asked for sub
stantially the same thing as long ago
Ns 1882 Commissioner Butterworth
wanted it in 1884, and likewise Com
missioner Montgomery in 1885.
Commissio Mitchell claims that
from the consideration of the fact that
inventors and persons interested in
inventions have, during the past year,
paid into the Treasury of the
United States more than 1928, 900 over
and above the current expenses of the
Patent Office. He thinks that this
sum, instead of being allowed TO re.
main idle, should be appropriated for
the pressing needs of the Department
Commissioner Mitchell stated to-day
TO a CRITIC man that the present situa-
ton of the Patent Office is most deplor.
able. Instead Of its being crowded into
corner of the big building which bears
its name, he said, it should be possessed
with as ample facilities as any Depart
ment in Washington. This subject"
said the Commissioner, (which l have
directed the attention OF Congress to, is
i,,, wi, tal, s,,N l. fa1I
by inventors and by large portion of
the American people who are directly
and indirectly interested in inventions.
There is a widespread feeling that the
large excess of fees over expenses
should be devoted to affording facilities
for the conduct of the business of the
office. To make the Department one
for the people to feel proud of, at least
thirty additional rooms are necessary.
''Not only is the space available for
the general business of the Office in.
sufficient. but in some directions its
functions are practically suspended for
want of room and facilities whereby to
conduct them. A laboratory in con.
nection with the office is absolutely es.
sential to insure the best results. An
inconsiderable sum would secure the
necessary apparatus and appliances for
the chemical, electrical and other eX.
periments and investigations that are
being continually urged by applicants
for patents, and that under the present
position of things cannot be dispensed
with any degree of facility
''As to the working force in the De
partment, while it is not to any alarm
ing extent inadequate, ii is insufficient
TO carry on the business in proper
way. The comparatively satisfactory
condition of the work has been brought
about by the almost heroic efforts on
the part of the examining corps Con
gress has been asked to grant these de-
mands and feel assured that, since the
matter has been laid before that honor
able body just as it stands, the requests
will be granted"

ordered by the Senate and the committee

witnesses as they choose, neither Captain
Folger nor Mr.. Herbert being allowed to

charge of work in the Navy-Yard. Some
were competent, Others were not. Some
were the personihcation of intelligence and
gentlemanly bearing when thrown in con-
tact with the workmen.
My experiences teaches me that any
workman who faithfully performs his duty
will receive word of praise from Captain
Fslger to the lowest ensign. The trouble
is this; Many workmen come here from the
States pufTed up with their imaginary po-
litical influence, not expecting to work, but
TO have an easy time, and when they find
no flow of milk and honey, but stern re-
buke from Captain Folger, then they ex-
claim in accents most horrible: "Oh, that
my Congressman were here,n or "that my
Senator would listen to my woe, that |
might pour into his ear the sad tale of a
McGinty.n For the mechanic who comes
here to work there is room, with good pay
and good treatment, but for the laggard or
the political hummer there is no place.
Captain Folger is a strict disciplnarian at
the head of a business concern, running the
establishment on the same plan as if IL
were a private one willing to compete
against all comers. If Mr.. Herbert had at

ALL IN A SINGLE ROOM.
A North Carolina Family of Twenty
Eight Who Live in One Apartment.


In the western part of North Caro-
lima, about seven miles west of Hot
Springs, ST. Louis Globe Democrat
correspondent has discovered family
by the name of Brooks. 1t is very in
teresting one, and many a visitor to the
quiet little town of Hot Springs has had
his curiosity so aroused by stories of
this family that they have hired teams
and driven seven miles to the Brooks
residence. This consists of little, low
log cabin in an unsettled district, and is
occupied by father, mother and twenty
exceptionally handsome children.
Every one is a blonde, with golden
yellow hair and peachy complexion,
and all as ignorant, wild and untutored
as they are beautiful. In addition to
the above family proper the two older
girls are married. One is widow with
two children, and the other has three
children and husband. Both these
little families are living with the old
folks at home, making in all a family
of twenty eight when none are missing.
The house, or log cabin, consists of but
one room, and that very small one.
On two sides of this are built seven
berths. one above another, against the
wall, and they were evidently built
with the cabin.
In these "boXes" the parents. chill
dren and grandchildren lay themselves
away when night comes on. Three
times day this interesting family may
be seen at meals The older members
seat themselves about on the ground
in front of the house, Indian fashion, 4"
and are favored with tin plates and
iron spoons. while the younger ones
stand around rough home made
table inside the cabin, eating beans
with relish that is good to look upon.
This is the principal diet; now and
then they have a change, but 1t is of
the same plain cheap order They are
all healthy and robust, knowing moth.

herds escaped before the Lieutenant and
his men were n hundred miles out of
their native bills.
A few months ago while Schwatka
and his aids were descending u steep
hill the mules took fright and the entire
outfit was thrown distance of several
yards. Six mules and two Mexicans
were killed and the Lieutenant sustained
q fracture Of a leg and was otherwise
injured. He bears big, ragged scar
on the left side of his head.
"In appearance the Tarahumari are
little above the average height of the
North American Indians" said the
Lieutenant "and are well built. Their
skin is Of very dark hue, being al
most mixture Of the darkest Guinea
negro with the average copper colored
aborigine of the Western States Their
clothing consists merely of q breeeh-
clout, and if 1t be little chilly zarape
of sheep or goats skin is thrown over

The stock market this morning was ex-
tremely dull, and prices, as a rule, fluctu-
ated within very narrow range.
In the first hour prices were generally
strong and advanced with but little inter
ruption throughout the hour. Prices at II
o'clock were to II per cent. higher
than they closed last night the
latte rim sugar trusts. Rock Island,
Colorado Coal and few others were the
most active stocks.
After II o'clock the market was not 80
active and there was less strength to prices,
which gradually declined till noon.
AT that hour values had lost all of the
early improvement. At this writing the
market is dull at the bottom figures.

A Little Joke.

The other evening two young men
dropped in at Tom Newman's place on
Dearborn street, says the Chicago Herdid.
The hour was late and trade was dull. A
game of hearts was proposed and Tom was
invited to take hand. He agreed They
began to play and Tom was called out of
the back room several times TO attend to the
wants of struggling customers. Once he
had to go out just as one of his young
friends had started TO deal. The cards
were thrown around and the two young
men patiently awaited his return. Sud-
denly one Of them said: "Say, let's play Il
joke on Tom-let's give him all the hearts
in the deck" The two hurriedly inspected
the pasteboards and put the thirteen hearts
in Toms hand. When he finally returned
he picked up his hand and the game was re-
sumed. He threw off all of the hearts,
because he could not take a trick and he
could not very well follow suit. The two
young joters scratched their heads and
looked at one another. One had seven
hearts and the other six. Show did he do
it?" asked the dealer, 'Give it up" re-
piled his co-conspirator. Then they made
the round wine instead of beer.

CAPTURED CLIFF JEWELLERS.
Lieutenant schwatka's Band See
Strange Sights in Chicago.

Strange Sights in Chicago.
CHICAGO, Feb 1.-THE band of
cliff dwellers whom Lieutenant
Schwatka brought from Mexico are
quartered on the twelfth floor of the
Owings block in this city. They are
the special charges of Lieutenant
Frederick Schwatka, who made an ex.
pedition to Mexico last October to study
the habits and customs of the dwellers
of cliffs and caves in that country.
Schwatka was the first white man TO
make captives of those queer people,
and he little thought when he went
among them that he would be sue
cessful in bringing consignment to
this country. During the winter spent
in the region of the north pole the
Lieutenant studied the uncivilized
EsquimauX, whom he THOUGHT the
shyest of savages, but he now admits
that the natives of the far North are
creased lightning, as compared with
the specimens from Old Mexco's wilds.
There are eleven in the party. OF
the eleven three are women and one Is
girl baby, with lungs like boiler iron
and skin with an outer covering of dirt
fully an inch thick. In fact, the entire
eleven exhibit about the same amount of
cleanliness. Describing the outfit is out
of the question, unless It can be done in
the language they speak.
The peaks and canyons of the Sierra
Madres Mountains are not in the habit
of furnishing clothing for the barbarians
who inhabit them, and nothing can in
duce Schwatka's pets to wear anything
more than tattered blankets to hide
their bodies and chunks of rough
leather to protect their feet from the
nails and cobblestones of civilization.
Just what use they have for foot.gear Is
not known, for their feet do not fall far
short of petritied mud, CRIME and
slivers, compared with which the feet
of an elephant is pink and satin.
The Lieutenant is assisted in the man
agement of his cliif-dwellers by
young American who talks to Mesa in
Spanish. Mesa is about one-eighth
Mexican and was "sub-governor" OF
Alderman of the First Ward In his ma.
tive diggings. Mrs Mesa is with him.
How many of her were left behind is
not bulletined. (which are the men
and which are the women" is ques-
ton which troubled those who were
permitted TO see them on the long ride
from the mountains.
There are many funny stories told of
their trip through the white mems
country. The first scare the iwellers
got was mile or two back of the town
of Chihuahua, Mexico A rest had
been ordered at the foot of the hill,
and while squatted there the electric
lights of the town were turned on. So
was the fright of Schwatka's heathens,
who turned tail and lit out over the
hills. Smart action was taken and the
frightened Tunaways were caught and
hitched to stakes. They had worshiped
the sun, but were "agin" the electric
deviltTy,
At Fort Bliss the natives were taken
10 target-practice. A Gatling gun was
brought forth and its mouth turned
toward cold Sol" Several charges
were let loose at him, and the poor
exiles Immediately fell flat on their
bellies. This was a new deal, A Cat,

Schwatka had much trouble in keeping
the band together, Three separate
