WASHINGTON, D, O., May l6.-For
some weeks past rumors have been in
circulation in the interior department
which have brought into serious ques'
ton the official conduct of W. L.
Simonds, late commissioner Of patents,
Several days ago one Of the most promi,
nent firms OF patent attorneys in this
city wrote u letter 10 Commissioner Sew.
mour stating that they had received
information from O source believed to
be trustworthy that certain applica,
tions in the celebrated telephone case OF
Daniel Drawbaugh in the secret service
OF the patent Office had been copied,
under the authority OF Mr.. Slmonds,
while commissioner, by parties outside
Of the patent office, all Of which was
contrary to the law, They asked that
an official investigation be had and that
they be informed OF the facts in order
that they might take such action as
their interests might seem to warrant
Upon the matter coming to the at
tention OF Secretary Smith he immedi,
Rtely ordered an investigation, which,
it ia understood, ia practically complet.
ed, 1t Is stated, however, that the
Forthcoming report OF the inyestiga-
ton will contain facts OF character
not Immediately expIainNble. II is ru'
nored that other applications pending
in the patent office have also been
copied in violation Of the law. 1t is
further stated that during the latter
part OF Mr.. simond's administration Of
the patent office. he compiled pamph.
let containing ninety.six pages Of close.
" printed matter, entitled CONDENSED
Treatise on the Law Of Patents" This
pamphlet, which contains approxim.
ately 5000 words, is said to have been
typewriter by government clerks dur.
ing office hours. Other allegations OF
an equally serious character are made
by persons who claim to be in q posi-
ton to know the facts.

There is only one way to cure Deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an intlamed con-
dition OF tho mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have a rumbIing sound or
imperfect hearing, and whenft is en-
tirely closed Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can DO taken
out and this tube restored to It's normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out OF ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in

SALT LAKE UTAH, May l6.-Delegate
Rawlins, in an interview to-day, said that
he had asked Governor West to return
him his resignation as delegate, and
that the legal effect is the same as II tho
resignation had never been rendered.
In reply to a question US to whether he
would renew the resignation, he said:
"That matter il still under considera-
ton. When left Washington II was
with the conviction that l did not
possess the confidence OF my party and
the people OF Utah. Since arriving here
/ am confident that was in degree
mistaken in that conviction"
He also denied any ''sCene" with Pres.
ident Cleveland, though he admitted
that "the President was in a bad humor
and made u few remarks to which ! did
not reply, but nothing approaching q
scene transpired."
Governor West says that the resigna-
ton mailed to him in Washington May
has not yet been received.

Killed Gtoehl and Then Shot Himself.
SING SING, N, Y, May 18,-A body
was found in the Hudson river, of Sing
Sing, this morning, by two fishermen,
and hasbeen identified by State Dete CT
i've Jackson and Keeper Connaughton,
Of the prison, as that OF Pallistor, the
murderer OF policeman Kane. The body
was very much decomposed. A bunch
otkeys found in the clothes were iden-
titled by Mr.. Connaughton as those
taken from the guards by Pallister and
Roehl at tho time Of their escape from
tho death house OF the prison. The
body was taken out OF the water and
placed in the death house. Here q
thorough investigation was made aud a
bullet hole was found under the left
eye. The supposition is that Roehl
shot Pallister and then committed sui
eide.

bvpI,e..e whist For Lent.

Duplicate whist is fashionable Lent
en- recreation. Clubs are organized with
patronesses like the dancing and sewing
classes. These clubs are not large as a
rule, 20 members being good number,
but they are very Jolly, many OF them
meeting in the mornings. There are
mixed clubs for evening play Of the (for
the momentl fascinating phase Of the fa-
nous game. For the benefit Of those
who may not yet have been initiated in
ITS mysteries it may be explained that
this form of whist differs from the usual
game only IN its manner Of deciding the
winner. Every quartet is provided with
stiff, black pasteboards. about 10 inches
square, on which are fitted four rubber
bands.
sAs hand is played It is retained and
slipped under the band IN front of the
player. Then the board is laid aside and
another is taken until the number Of
boards provided, which may be from six
to dozen or even more. is exhausted.
Then the same sets Of players begin
again with their first board, playing the
hands first played by their opponents,
the scoring pair being that which makes
the most from the same hand. II is a
pretty and interesting variation of the
plain game, and the blackboards litter
many an uptown drawing room during
the penitential mornings.-New York
Times
