The Man Whom the President has Placed
NJ tho Head of the Patent once.
VIM. Edgar Simonds. who was on yester-
day appointed commissioner Of patents, has
for years conducted one Of the most successful
patent practices in the country as the senior
member Of the firm Of Simonds 4 Burdette at
Hartford, Conn.
He has filed the lectureship on patent Law in
the Yale law school since 1884: he is counsel in
many cases on the docket Of the United States
supreme Court, and is author Of several works
on patent law and practice, all standard with
the profession, among which may be mentioned
a Digest of Patent Cases, embracing all the
patent cases decided by the federal and state
courts since the foundation Of our govern
ment
On August l9, 1862, Mr.. Simonds, then nine
teen years old, enlisted private in company
OF the twenty-hfth Connecticut volunteers,
and was promoted to lieutenant at the battle OF
Irish Bend, La, April IA, 1863, for gallantry on
the field. The next day after he was mustered
out OF the service he entered as q student in
the Yale law school, from which he graduated
at the 1865 commencement
Mr.. Simonds first appearance in public life
was as member of the Connecticut house OF
1888. Of which he became Immediately one OF
the leaders as chairman of the railroad COM
mittee.
He was reelected to the house in 1885 and
was unanimously nominated for speaker thereof
and elected, his administration Of that Office
being eminently successful
Mr.. Slmonds represented the first district OF
Connecticut in the last Congress and his
familiarity with the patent law and practice
placed him second on the committee on
patents, where he rendered valuable service.
he took deep interest in the copyright Law
Vanf into .axfa L.
and was largely instrumental in securing Its
passage.
MIR. Simonds was renominated for the Fifty
second Congress. but failed of election by
reason of the tidal wave" which swept the
country last fall. His friends predict that his
administration Of the affairs of the patent
Office will demonstrate the eminent fitness OF
President Harrisons selection.

CITY SCHOOL BOARD.


The city school board met last night at the
Peabody building. In the absence of the presi-
dent Mr. John I. Sweeney was called to the
chair and quorum found present bill of
Henry Wiedt for mending clock was ordered
to be paid. A communication was read from
MIR. c. W. Howell calling the attention of the
board to the fact that the notes for payment of
Washington School lot had, at the death of his
mother, become payable within sixty days. Mr..
Strauss said that $500 had been paid at the
time the lot was purchased, and only 50. 400
remained due. and that there had already been
an offer to loan that sum to the board. The
clerk said that notice had been given of the
assignments OF rights of some of these heirs.
On motion the matter was referred to the
finance committee to make proper arrange
ments in the matter and report at the next
meeting of the board No other business was
transacted,
THE GUNToN DEBT.
The city of Alexandria was at the time of the
settlement of its debt indebted to the Gunton
estate of Washington in s54, $50. 1t has been
paying the debt by installments, and has in ten
years paid S59.730 on principal and interest
The eighth payment was made by the auditor
yesterday and there still remains due S5,46O
which will be paid within II few years.
OUTSIDERS MUST PAY SCHOOL FEES
The narrow margin for school expenditure
allowed by the present circumstances of the
city requires the school authorities to keep
within straitened limits. No new schools can
be opened and the seats in the present schools
will all be needed for Alexandria pupils. I'm
der these circumstances the board has directed
a special committee to consider and report a
method by which the children of city property
holders who reside outside of the city may OBJ
tain admission to the schools under the code
The committee has fixed $50 per annum as the
fee to be paid the clerk for the issue of a school
permit to any child not residing within the
limits of the corporation of Alexandria, and
will report to the board at its next meeting.

THE OHIO CAMPAIGN,
Both Republicans and Demsrrats Uncertain
as to the Extent Of the Third Party.

Both Republicans and Demorrats Uncertain
Is to the Extent Of the Third Party
The Ohio campaign is getting interesting at
a remarkably early hou-. Though the opposi-
ton candidate has not yet been nominated
there are evidences here at Washington Of
great activity among the republican politicians
of that state and indications of anxiety to get
early into the field. The embarrassment Of the
Secretary Of the Treasury in dealing with
the plate printers is due to the anxiety Of some
of the political leaders, who are urgent
in their appeals to have nothing done
in this matter that will by any possibility in
jure Maj. Mckinley. There have been no less
than half dozen OHIO politicians here within
the past twenty-four hours and they have all
been comforting with erther Secretary Foster
or the President with relation to matters more
or less directly connected with the situation Of
the party in the state this fall The visit of
State Officials Ryan, Watson and Poe TO New
York was on business relating to their canal
bonds, but that was not the object of their
visit to Washington nor of their conferences
with Mr.. Foster, nor yet did this last confer
ence yesterday relate entirely to the plate
printers trouble. 1t was to advise and consult
with the Secretary as to the campaign and to
| arrange certain matters in that connection
that took them to the department and gave i'm
portance to their conference. Representative
the city some days. and ex-Representatives
keifer and Wickham arrived here yesterday
and went at once to see the President
All the managers of McKinley's campaign are
considerably annoyed and perplexed by the
uncertainty Of the third party movement. and
it is understood that some of them who are
here have devoted little time trying to get at
an understanding of its character and extent
They seem to be unable to get any light on
the subject and it still remains q sort Of
bugaboo, with grave uncertainty as to how
much real and how much imaginary danger
there is in it. One Of the Farmers Alliance
leaders said to STAR reporter today that his
information indicated great activity and an
earnest determination on the part Of the farm
ers. 1t Is no matter Of doubt with us, he
said, ''the fight is on Sherman, and it will be a
duplication of the fight on ingalls,"
Reports from democratic sources indicate
that just now all their time is being taken up
In making efforts to come to an agreement
There seems to be no longer any doubt about
Campbell having everything his own way as
far as the convention goes, but slow progress
is being made toward uniting all elements of
the party, SO as to present a solid front 1t
looks as if Mr.. Campbell would have to give
up all hope of bringing in all the '-kickers, :"
and would be forced to rely on accessions out
side of the party to make mp for their loss.
