WOMEN As INVENTORS.
Steps Taken to Secure an Exhibition for the
Words Fair.

Words Fair.
Mrs Potter Palmer. the president Of the
board Of lady managers Of the worlds fair. in
company with Mr.. Potter Potter and Mrs.
Russell Harrison, called today upon Mr.
Simonds, the commissioner Of patents. The
object Of the visit was to ascertain what could
be done in the way of exhibiting the
inventive genius Of women as shown BY the
patents on file. The commissioner suggested
that the best plan would be 10 select from the
5000 patents issued to women the ones that in
the opinion OF the fair committee seemed to
be the most notable and worthy of exhibition
In cases where the pate Mt Office had models
OF these inventions such models would be
placed at the disposal OF the committee. Where
the models were wanting they could be sup
piled from the drawings at a small expense on
The part of the committee.
Mrs Palmer did not indicate what plan she
would adopt. and the commissioner. after her
departure, caused to be collected the drawings
OF all the patents and had them sent To Mrs.
Palmer at her hotel in this city, where she can
examine them at her leisure
The commissioner expressed his willingness
20 do anything in his power to make the ex-
hiblt q eredi;able ose. both to the department
and TO tie inventors. He explained. however.
that owing 10 the fact that the
Office would make all exhibit at the
fair II would be impossible to expend
any part OF the fund devoted to such a pur-
pose in aid of the special exhibit proposed by
4rA Palmer

Mr. COLE ATTENTIVE.
There were FIVE shots fired, and the
the witness. The other man ran after him a
little and then fell in the street on his face.
The other lady went on a little before the
shooting and then stopped. Was looking right
at them when the shooting took place.
Cross-exsmined: There were several people
on the street at the time of the shooting. The
man who did the shooting came over to the
south side of the street after the firing and he
had pistol in his hand. Just then the lady in
the light coat cried out, I'm shot-Im shot"
The man that came over said, I'm shot, TOO. "
THE FIRST REAL SENSATION.
This statement of the witness was undoubt-
eddy not expecte by either the defense or by the
government. and it created the FIRST real sensa-
ton Of the trial. That it was regarded as a
most valuable point for the defense could we'll
be seen.
The next witness, Julia Slater. small, light
colored woman, merely corroborated the testi-
mony of the two preceding witnesses. She was
sure there were at least four shots. but would
not swear that there were not more.
The feature Of the proceedings in the court
this morning was the large number of ladies in
attendance, they numbering nearly half Of the
audience.
ALECK DABNER.
The first witness called today was Aleck Dab
ner. a young colored man. He saw the four
persons. two ladies and two gentlemen. and
saw the firing. There were not more than five
or six shots. Saw the flashes and saw the ex-
tended arm of the man with the light overcoat
who fired. The flashes were all from one di.
rection, toward the north side of the street
After the firing ceased the man who did the
shooting first started toward 18th street and
then turned and went over to the south
side OF Q street and finally ran of past the
