The Little Things The Most Valuable.

Comparatively few people regard them
sci yes as inventors, but almost everybody
has been struck, at one time or another.
wi tn ideas that seemed calculated to reduce
some of thellittle f~rictions OF life. Usually
such ideas are dismissed without further
thought.
why don't the railroad company make it's
car windows so that they can be slid up and
down without breaking the passengers
backs?" exclsims the traveller. "If were
running the road l would make them in such
a way"
what was the man that made this sauce
pan thinking OFF, grumbles the cook. H
never had 80 work over a stove or he would
nave kno wn how it ought to have been fixed"
Hang such a collar b~utton!" growls the
man who Is late for breakfast. "IrI were in
the business I'd make buttons that wouldn't
slip out, or break off, or gouge out the back
of my neck"
And then the various sufferers forgot about
their grievarc es ami begin to think of some
thing else. If they would sit down at the
next convenient opportunity, put their ideas
about car windows, saucepans, and collar
buttons into practical shape, and then apply
for patents, they might find themselves as
de oendeutly wealthy as the mau who invent

NOT so HARD AS IT SEEMS.

A patent strikes most people as an appall
ingly formidable thing. The idea is that an
inventor must be a natural genius, like Edi
son or Bel; that he must devote years to
delving in complicated mechanical problems
and that he must spent a fortune on delicate
experiments before he can get a new device to
a pateutable degree of perfection. This delu-
sion the company desires to dispel. 1t desires
to get into the head of the public a clear CON-
prehension of the fact that it is not the great,
complex, aud expensive inventions that bring
the best returns to their authors, out the lit
tie, simple, and cheap ones-the things that
seem so absurdly trivial thst the average citi-
zen would feel somewhat ashamed of bringing
themto the attention of the Patent Office.
Edison says that the profits he has received
from the'patents on all his marvellous inven-
ions nave not been sufficient to pay the cost
OF his experiments. But the man who con-
ceived the idea of ~fastning q bit of rubber
cord to a cnild's ball, so that it would come
back TO the hand when thrown, made a fortune
out of his scheme. The modern sewing-ma-
chine is amiracle of ngenuity-the product of
the toll of hundreds of busy brains through q
hundred aud tiftyuyears, but the whole bril-
liant result rests upon the simple device of
putting the eye of the needle at the point in
stead of at the other and

IN NEW YORK STATE

prospaets Seem Good for . Demo-
cratic victory in spite of Opposition
60 Maynard
NEW YORK, November 6.-In New
York State both the Democrats ana
Republicans have confidence In the sue
cess of their respective parties.
In the State generally public interest
has been centered principally on the
election OF Associate Judge Of the Court
OF Appeals. The fight against the Demo-
cratic candidate, Isaac II. Maynard,
has been one of the most aggressive char
actar. but despite the severe criticisms
To which he has been subjected, the
Democrats express the belief that he
will carry the State Gy from 10000 70
so. 900 majority. Betting men are lay
ing odds,in favor of Judge Maynard
but not so confident as they did few
days ago.
The Republicans say that they have
an excellent chance 20 win. They count
upon the support Of a great many lnde-
uepdeut Democrats against Judge May
nard. They say that the opposition ol
I the Bar Association and Of some OF tue
lending Democratic papers OF the me-
tropols means defeat. They claim 70
have returns from various parts OF the
! State showing that the revolt against
Judge Maynard's candidacy Is general.
In New York county Tammany Is
making its customary vigorous cam

THERE ARE BUT TWO OPINIONS
ConCerning the Result in Massaohusetts.
Which VIII Prove Correct ~ Doubt

Concerning the Result in Massachusetts.
Which VIII Prove Correct Is Doubt
ful
Boston, MASS, November 6.-There
are only two opinions upon the result
OF t0-morrow's election in MaSsa-
Chusetts, but a great many thinking
men are far from being certain to-
night which is the right one. The
strictly independent and unprejudiced
opinion is hard TO find, but a careful
canvass among the politicians discloses
that the scale is apparently tipping
toward Republican success. The main
fight is over the election Of a Governor.
and as the candidates are about equally
popular, the fight is largely on party
lines.
Outside, some talk has been made of
Acknowledgement by the State Commit
tee, but no formal charges of neglect
have been brought forward. Boston
has been the field upon which the party
has pinned its hopes and by
its vote tomorrow they will
stand or fall. The Populsts
have been saving wood but not saying
much, and everyone who has given them
thought, admits they will make a sub
stantisl gain from the ranks of both
parties. The ProhibitioniSts are not
seriously taken, even as an eventual
UOSsi bility.

New YORK. November 6.-Mr. Car
Isle, Secretary Of the Treasury, arrived
here this morning. To reporter OF
the Evening Post Mr.. Carlisle said that
here on official business.
Mr.. Carlisle declined to say anything
relating to the financial and business
situation or express any opinion as 10
the outlook. As TO the condition OF
the treasury he said nothing, as be ala

act the business OF the governments

Through the misunderstanding OF
treasury order, or an erroneous de-
spatch from Washington, the impress
sion has become general that Secretary
Carlisle has ordered the mints to coin

in the treasury, that is the proportion
Of any given quantity Of silver bullion
that would become seignorage OF the
whole OF that quantity were coined.
In reply TO the question OF reporter
of the Evening Post Mr.. Carlisle said
that he had not issued any order direct
ing the mints TO coin the silver bullion
now In the treasury, nor any part OF IL.

same thickness as the dollar. To do
that would take some weeks; so you see
we could not begin coming at once,
even II we wanted to do so. 1t would
take more than five years to coin all the

The Chicago Council Meets and Elects
swift Mayor Pro Tenn.

CHICAGO, November 6.-The Wrangle
| over the election OF a Mayor pro tenn
was settled tonight by the choice Of
| Alderman George B. Swift, he receiv-
ing 60 votes TO for Alderman McGil-
| Democratic Aldermen remained
in the Council Chamber until
7:3O the time set for the regular meet
ing. This was to keep McGilen in the
chair on the plea that the original
meeting of which he had been
Chairman, had not been adjourned.
The Republican Aldermen were locked
in a room half square from the city hall
to keep away from the sergeant-at-arms,
who had been instructed by the Demo-
Gratis to bring them over to the meeting.
At 7;2O tonight the Republican alder
men, followed by small army Of their
adherents, marched in a column of twos
to the council chamber, where
they were greeted with loud
cheers and laughter by wait
ing Democrats. Leaders of both
factions got together and 1t was de-
cided to avoid any possible repetition OF
last Saturday, Everything was wiped
of the slate. A new vote was taken.
McGillen having, on motion Of Re
publican alderman, been chosen chair
man, appointed as telers the four alder
men who acted in that capacity at Sat-
urday's election.
There were 6S Aldermen present, two
from each of the "a wards. When the
vote was over 60 votes had been cast,
one Alderman having thrown in a vote
for both Swift and McGiileD. The vote
stood Swift so, McGillen 49, After some
discussion it was decided 70 call another
vote which gave Swift 60, McGllen 5,
one blank ballot being cast. Alderman
Swift at once presented his bond, which
was made out after Saturdays election,
and he was sworn in ss Mayor pro tenn.
The special election for Mayor will be
held next month.
