Doorplates Que of Fashlon.

How completely the doorplate has
gone out of fashion. When j came to
New York to work for living, door
plate was as essential an insignia of gen
tility as bank account, and shops
where they We're sold were to be found
everywhere. On the residence streets
of the better class, at a certain hour
every morning, you would see servant
ON every stoop, polishing the plate up
before its owner had his breakfast. The
doorplate was with us what the marble
front step is to Philadelphian. Phila-
delphia's front steps are there yet.
Our doorplates have become things
of the past, found only on old fashioned
houses without pretensions to style.
Their places have probably been taken
by the coats of arms which fashionable

PRICE ONE CENT



Senator Carlisle's fee Of &e5, 200, which
be is TO receive in the Preston Beal case,
decided in the court of appeals al
Frankfort, KY. the other day, aecalls
some of the large fees that have\been
paid to attorneys. Judge Brown, OF
Membhis, also in a Kentucky case. re.
ceived fee of $4,000. The case in
which Senator Carlisle won his big fee
made the heirs Of Robert Wickliffe
richer TO the extent Of SEQ, 900. General
Draper of New Jersey, is married to
one of these heirs, and it was as the rep
resentative Of Mrs. Draper that Senator
Carlisle came into the case, and his fee
comes entirely out Of her portion of the
estate. am told that the senator did
not even make an exhaustive study of
the case, but made his argument at
Frankfort from briefs filed by the attor-
neys for other heirs.
To do this required his presence in
Frankfort five days, and this is said to
have been all the time he had TO devote
to the case, so that his big earnings were
as much per day as a member of con
gress receives for year of heavy brain
flag for his country and the old flag not
counting perquisites.
The decision of the United States
court was handed down something over
year ago in the Fisxe will case against
the Cornell university. In this case the
university lost 81, ,750,0 900, and the law
firm of Hill 81 Bacon is said to have re
ceived $400,000 as their honorarium
from the successful heirs The Mr.. Hill
in this firm is none other than Senator
David Bennett Hill.
The fee which John +. Parsons, the
New York lawyer, received for organic
ing the Sugar trust is believed 10 be the
largest ever paid to one New York at
torney. The amount was $500, 900, the
same sum received by Messrs. Hill q
Bacon in the Fiske case. And yet, not
withstanding this large fee. it did not
take the courts long, once they got at it,
to destroy the apparently invincible
legal structure which the able and high
priced lawyer had reared.--John A.

An UnIuekr LocomotlYs.

Engineer Knowblow, of the Erie, has
finally agreed to preside at the throttle
of engine No. 670 of that road. This is
the machine that passed through the
two terrible wrecks ON that road at Ra-

80. When it came out of the Meadville
shops recently none Of the boys wanted
to sit at the right hand side of the cab

after considerable persuasion that Engi-

Douglas Tilden, the deaf and dumb
California sculptor, has completed in
clay at his Paris studio group of heroic
size which he proposes to cast in bronze
and send TO the Worlds fair. One OF
this sculptor's works is now 10 be seen
in Golden Gate park, at San Francisco.
The subject of the last is a struggle be-
tween two Indians and she bear (griz-
zly), whose cubs the Indians are trying
to make off with. A Partisan critic
says of the group: lit is broad in treat
ment and daring in execution without
exaggeration. The figure modelling of
the two Indians is of high power, strong
and harmonious at the same time He
has succeeded in showing not the mutt
lation of the two Indians by ferocious
brute, but fine realization of struggle
for mastery and life which thrills with
interest" This sculptor has been work

The Chicago Anarchist VIII Be a Free
Man on Thanksgiving Day.
CHICAGO. Nov. 15.-The Herald says:
From source absolutely authoritative
the statement comes that Governor
Fifer will place in the hands of Warden
Dement,, of Joliet prison, on the morn
ing of Nov. "a next, Thanksgiving day,
pardon for Oscar Neebe, the anarchist,
who was convicted of completely in the
Haymarket riot in 1886 and sentenced to
fifteen years imprisonment. The par
don has already been prepared. Three
days ago Louis Neebe, of this city, was
told that his brothers long imprison-
ment was almost over and to be pre-
pared to accompany him home Thanks
giving day. The welcome news was
authentic, coming directly from the ex-
ecutive chamber at Springfield. During
the past two months tremendous press
ure has been brought to bear on the
governor in which old and valued
friends, both political and personal,
have been prominent. In addition to
this were numberless petitions signed by
nearly every prominent citizen in Chi
cage. The fact that the testimony on
which Neebe was convicted was very
weak is also said to have influenced the
governor in his action.

which miner named Veistina was
killed and another miner named Els
ticker was fatally injured. Knives,
stones and clubs were used as weapons
in the melee and several of the partic-

TWO CIVIL SUITS.

Calvin A. Fleming and Leslie E
flemlng have commenced suit
against Ephriam Masters, Gaylord
Lamb and D. M. Osborne & Co., to re
cover title to the WI of the nw4 Of sec
tlon 30, 1O7-2S. The property is worth
about $500, and both parties claim tC
own it. G. l.. Benedict appears fol
the defense.
Geo. A. Eaton has sued Geo. Lang
OF Mapleton, to recover $215 aud inter.
est, the value of a promissory note
which was given by T. L. Taylor to
Lang and by the latter sold to Eaton.
Lang guaranteed it in these words:
For value received 1 hereby guaran-
tee the payment of the within note at
maturity or at any time thereafter,
with interest at nine per cent. per an
mum until paid, waving demand, no.
tlce ofpayment or protest" The note
became due Oct. 18th, 1889, and .on
Dec. 18th of that year the holder,
Eaton, made an endorsement on the
note, as follows: "IntereSt paid to
date. Extended to Oct. 1st, $780,"
The note has never been paid. The
defense takes the ground that Eaton
had no right to extend the note with
out Lang's consent. This involves an
interesting question. w. N. Plymat
appears for the plaintiff and G. L.
Benedict for the defense.

READING, Pa, Nov. Philadelphia
and Reading Engine No. 563, drawing a
train of empty coal cars which passed
through this city at midnight, blew up
at Connors Crossing, near Schuyikill
Haven, killing five men, tearing up the
tracks, dismantling the locomotive,
hurting the machinery for several
squares around and scattering death and
destruction all around. A large crowd
gathered from the surrounding country
and assisted in getting together the re-
mains of the railroaders, whose bodies
were horribly disfgured. The killed
are: Henry G. Allison, William
Mackey, William Cowhey, William
Kendrick, William Meyer. Beside the
above, Michael Dobbins. of Mount Car

crew, was badly scalded and will prob
ably die.

crews into the air in all directions and
to eternity. The boiler and fire box
were blown clean off the trucks and
the tracks were SO badly damaged that
traffic was considerably delayed. The
north and south bound midnight Buff
falo trains were compelled to run via

New Lease of Life.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-The supreme
court has given new lease of life to q
border ruffiian named Clyde Mattox,
under sentence of death passed by the
United States district court of Kansas
for a murder committed in the Indian
Territory. 1t appeared that on the trial
the bailiff in charge of the jury in
formed them that ''this was the third
man Mattox had killed" and further al
lowed them to have access to a news
paper which published full account of
the desperado's previous crimes. Fur
Their the Kansas court refused to admit
evidence that the murdered man said
before his death that he knew it was
not Mattox who had shot him. For
these reasons Chief Justice Fuller
granted a new trial.

AN eastern Inventor has invented
an incandescentlamp that is an i'm
portant improvement upon the Edison
lamp now in use. The incandeScent
lamp as at present made is wholly of
glass fused at all points. There are
necessary in it two pieces of platinum
wire. When these are burned out the
lamp is useless as they cannot be re-
placed without breaking the globe.
The new invention makes the globe
in two parts so that it can be repeat
edly be used. These new globes will
be oturned out by machinery at the
rate of 10000 to 10000 per day. 1t is
required that the two parts of the
globe be accurately fitted together
and this will also be done by machine
~. In the place of the platinum
wire now used an iron wire will be
used. and it is thought the cost of the
lamp will be reduced from 80 to SO
per cent. There are now upwards of
100000 of incandescent lamps in use
in this country, and they have to be
renewed at the rate of about 80, 900
per day, so it will be seen that the
new lamp possesses advantages that
will be felt at once, as the annual
saving will amount to thousands of
dollars, and it also means that cleo
tricity will be more widely used than
at present.
