extent BY mechanics and artisans, the ne
ceSSitleS OF business still require that the
articles be furnished. The soap, however,
is of the cheapest quality, the towels coarse
and uninYiting ana the combs and brushes,
in keeping with their surroundings. OF the
cOmmonest description.
Notwithstanding the cheap character of
the articles enumerated here, all except the
soap are secured by some simple device to
prevent their being carried Otf-the towels
being hung on rollers and brush and comb
attached to the mirror by brass chains OF
sufficient length to permit their proper use.
The soap alone has thus far been uDpro-
tected, but at last the inventive faculty of
man has devised means of saving 1t from
waste and petty pilfering. The invention is
a simple and practical one, and is fully ex-
planned by the accompanying cut.
On the right Is a complete view OF
the fixture as it is attached to the
toilet-stand and on the left sec
tional view of the device, reduced to a
third of the actual size. The bracket OF the
apparatus is fastened by the side of the
basin and the chain attached to this is m de
long enough 10 allow the soap to swing at a
proper and convenient height. This keeps
the soap clean and dry, allows it to be used
economically and prevents 1t from being
carried off.
Whenever fresh piece of soap is needed
the box screw shown in the cut is removed
by means of a little key, which comes with
every apparatus. The lower porcelain plate
is then taken off, together with porcelain
tube, which slips through the cylinder in
the center of the soap, it being cast ex-
pressly for this apparatus, SO that another
cake of soap can be inserted with the great
est ease. In order to keep the spiral screw
taut rubber ring is inserted between the
tube and the lower plate. The captive
soap" can be had in ail sizes suitable for
offices, hotels, waiting-rooms, toilet-roOms,
in sleeping-carS. etc.

A TOILET NOVELTY.
Practical Soap Guard for Pre-.
venting Waste.
The Necessity Which Called for the Inven-
tion-How the Public Toilet-Rooms
Are Plundered.

There are few more annoying incidents in
hotel management than the frequency with
which soap, towels, combs and other aeees-
series of the toilet disappear from the rooms
and layatories, no matter how frequently
the supplies are renewed or how watchtul
the attendants. Human nature is especially
perverse in appropriating the first-named
article on the list and the career of cake OF
soap possessing any OF the attractions of the
high grade article, either in perfume, shape
or color, is exceedingly short lived
The time once was when no public toilet
in the country was considered complete I'M
less fully equipped with all of the neces-
saries for comfortable wash. But the van
dalSm OF these times changed all that and
even in some of the boosted first-class
hotels in this city the management has
grown so tired Of this ceaseless raid upon
them that the articles are no longer fur
nished outside of the guests private rooms.
In the public bathing establishments and in
the lavatories attached to second and third
class hotels, which are patronized to large

NO RELIEF GRANTED.
Five Hundred and Ten Pages of
Testimony Not Enough.

Patrick J. Land and Hannah Land were
married in this city in March. 1S59-the exact
day they have forgotten TheY are still man
and wife, though both have tried hard to
sever the bonds. The husband first filed a
complaint for divorce, claiming that she
is an habitual drunkard; that for more than
wo years she had been unable to attend to
her household duties because of her great
love for strong drink; that she treated him
and the children in a cruel and inhuman
manner, threatened to kill him, and drove
him from the house on various occasions.
When Hannah Land filed her answer and
cross-bll she went her lord and master
several degrees better. She said he had
been drnnEard for the last five years that
he gave the children money for abusing their
mother; that he had treated her cruelty, and
had Gale her vile names. She further ac-
cused HIM of transferring the title to
their home at 100 Fifteenth street to his en-
piOyer, Mr.. Perine, in order to defraud her
of her interest therein.

Commissioner, who returned a report of $40
pages, including all the testimony in the
case. After Judge Hunt had waded through
the report, his judicial mind was In sad
state of perpexity, and he finally came TO
the conclusion that from the conflicting tes-
timony adduced neither is entitled to d.
vorce.

ton, where the Delaware payment was 60
ing on, but was arrested before he reached

he is well acquainted with the Daltons, says
he saw them few days ago eighteen miles

peddling whisky all the time. They are in
company with Billy Brant who is wanted
in Texas for murder, and Six-Shooter Jack
who is charged with the murder of the
agent at Wharton station on the Santa t'e
eleven months ago. He says they are
heavily armed, travel the big road and don't
get out of it for anybody. When they meet
any one they draw their guns and pass them
by with little ceremony. Smith acknowl-
edges that the horses he was caught with
were stolen, but he is not the man who
committed the theft although he got them
from the man who did. He rode sixty-five
miles on Tuesday and was captured on
ferry boat after dark.
