Talk about the "wind blowing
through his whiskers." Why, had he
been on our streets Friday night il
would have blowed through his
bald head. The gale reached us
about 1890 and came from the
south east. 1t was the severest
wind storm that Laporte has ex-
perienced for a number of years. A
heavy downpour ofrain accompanied
it, flooding our streets.
The dome on the Meylert Mansion
occupied by Sheriff Mahafiey, was
blown off, the pointed end of which
struck the roof OF the house and
ran in the same some Is or 20 inches
where it remains. The large apple
tree in the centre of the John H.
Smyth lot was uprooted and the
large spruce shade tree in front oi
the James Walsh residence, was
toppled over, necessitating the cut.
ting down of the same. Two apple
trees OF L. j. Keeler, were blown flat
on the ground. The weather gauge
OH W. G. Mason's residence, was
made useless and two of Clayton {
apple trees rendered likewise. Sew
eral window sashes of the Mountain
House were sent hurling over the
floor and the panes OF glass smashed
in thousands of pieces.
When f. NJ. Durham returns from
the Worlds Fair he will be remind
ed of the storm by the loss of O
choice pear tree. We are not pre-
pared to say whether it is the one
that he recently fell from and
bruised his face and body. II il is
we do not imagine he will give the
loss very much thought, as he was
angry because that tree grew so high,

BEATEN AND CHOKED.
An Old Woman Brutally Treated BY Her
Husband and Son.

WORCESTER, Mass, Dec. 19-Calvin S,
Chaplin, a shiftless old fellow, 65 years of
age, and his eldest son, John, of Holden,
were arrested yesterday for assaulting
Mary Chaplin, the elder Chapin's wife.
The old woman owns the house in which
they live and repeated requests for her to
sell it have caused numerous family rows.
Friday the elder Chaplin asked his wife
for money, but she refused and called him
lazy and shiftless. A row ensued, in which
the old woman was beaten and choked by
her husband and son.
She finally escaped from them and ran
a mile in her stockings through the snow
and ice to a neighbours house, where she
fell exhausted. Her feet were lacerated
and bleeding. She is in critical condi-
ton from the shock of the assault and the
exposure. She refused to make a COM
plant against her husband, but the town
authorities took the matter in hand and
State Detective Murray arrested the men.

Fred Grant on Diplomacy.

Colonel Fred d. Grant, in his address
at the dinner in the Brooklyn Union
League club, spoke of diplomacy and
concluded by giving his ideas of the
qualifications diplomat should possess.
First" he said, "a diplomat should be
absolutely loyal to his own government,
for no foreign statesman will respect or
trust man who has not always been
loyal to the country he represents. He
must be sufficiently educated in his pro-
fession to be able to intelligently discuss
the intercourse between nations and pro-
pose honorable and fair dealings for the
future, and he should be able to do this
in the French, which is the diplomatic
language, in the language Of the country
to which he is accredited, as well as in
his own tongue. Second, diplomat
should, upon every possible occasion,
show most cordial feelings for the gov
eminent, customs and Institutions of
the nation to which he is accredited and
make every one with whom he comes in
contact feel that he is their friend.
Without these qualifications diplomat
can be of little use to his country, and
his record will be either inglorious or
utterly devoid of Importance. "-Phila-
delphia Ledger.

Girtv Miles of L.ncnsts.

The African Steamship company's
steamer Winnebah, which recently ar
rived from West Africa at Liverpool,
had a most unusal experience when
steaming between the ATTITUDES of Cape
Verde and st. Louis, Senegal. For 60
miles thevessel steamed through locusts,
which were so thickly packed together
on the top of the water that they COM
pletely covered the surface for miles
around; indeed, they appeared to be ly-
ing on the sea as far as the eye could
reach. The locusts had, no doubt, been
blown from the Morocco coast into the
sea. They resembled gigantic grasshop-
pers, and one which was secured was o

Why "Annie Laurie" Was Played.

The following was one of the most
striking incidents of the day on which
all that was mortal of the late mayor OF
Chicago was laid at rest:
One of the bands that had marched in
the funeral procession when passing the
Auditorium building south on Michigan
avenue on its homeward march in the
evening struck up the tune of "Annie
Laurie" The music was cheerful and
stirring. A large crowd naturally gath
cred in front of the hotel to see and hear
the band and view the regiment of sol
diers that followed in its wake. Those
who at first failed to recognize the ia
miliar air, and even many of those who
did, wondered at the lively strains from
a band which had but few hours pre-
viously been playing solemn funeral
dirges in the procession from which they
were returning.
Gradually the meaning of it all dawn
ed upon the minds of the people, and the
words, "For my bonnie Annie Laurie L
would lay me down and dee" doubtless
were silently spoken by those who re-
called the last word that fell from the
dying lips of Carter H. Harrison-"An-
ME. "-Chicago Correspondent.

PATENTS.
NOTICE TO INVENTORS.

There was never time in the history of
our country when the demand for inven-
tiOns and improvements in the arts and sci
ences generally was so great as now. The
cOnvenienceS of mankind in the factory
and workshop, the household, on the farm,
and in official life, require continual acceS-
sions to the appurtenanceS and implements
of each in order to save labor, time aud eX-
pense The political change in the admin
istratiOn of government does not affect the
progress of the American inventor, who be-
ing on the alert, and ready TO perceive the
existing deficiencies does not permit the at
fairs of government to deter HIM from
quickly cOnceiving the remedy to overcome
existing discrepancies. Too great care can
not be exercised in choosing competent
and skillful attorney to prepare and prose-
cute an application for patent. valuable
interests have been lost and destroyed in
innumcrable instances by the employment
of incompetent counsel, and especially Is

the "NO patent, no pay" system. Invent

of attorneys do so at imminent risk, as the
