PATENTS.
Notice TO Inventors.

There was never a time in the history
Of our country when the demand for in
ventions and improvements in the arts
and sciences generally was so great as
now. The conveniences Of mankind in
the factory and work shop, the household,
on the farm, and in official life require
continual accessions to appurtenances
and implements Of each in order to save
labor, time and expense The political
change In the administration of govern
ment does not affect the progress of the
American inventor, who, being on the
alert, and ready to perceive the existing
deficiencies, does not permit the at
fairs Of government to deter him from
quickly conceivlng the remedy to over
come existing discrepancies. Too great
care can not be exercised in choosing a
competent and skillful attorney to pre-
pare and prosecute an application for
patent. Valuable interests have been
lost and destroyed in innumerable in
stances by the employment Of incompe-
tent counsel, and especially is this ad-
vice applicable to those who adopt the
"No patent, no pay" system. Inventors
who entrust their business to this class
of attorneys do so at imminent risk. as
the breadth and strength II the patent
is never considered In view Of quick
endeavor to get an allowance and obtain
the fee then due. THE PRESS CLAIMS

He Caused His Family Considerable
Anxiety, But Has Been Heard From.
Lewis Hammell, an agreeable young
man, whose home is 1928 Linden street,
a collector for II. D. Walter, until re-
Gently real estate broker on Market
street. caused his family and friends
much anxiety week before last by dis
appearing from town aud leaving
no trace Of his subsequent movements
He was in the Peoples Theatre seeing
"Sde Tracked Between the acts he
asked an usher to call a cab. The tele-
phone soon brought one to the door and
young Hammell stepped in aud was
whirled away, no one knowing his des-
tination.
His mother waited anxiously for his
return home, sitting up until the early
hours of the morning. As day after day
went by and there was no news of him
she grew almost frantic and would not
be treasured by her relatives, who were
also much worried. He had taken no
clothing with him other than the suit be
wore, and had left his overcoat in
the Office of his employer. This made
bis disappearance all the more suspicious.
The anxiety concerning him was un-
broken until Friday when his mother
was overjoyed TO get telegram stating
that he had arrived safe and well in
Dal as, Texas, and was the guest OF his
married sister.
He had no cause for leaving town so
unceremoniously, but, il is understood,
that for some months he has been want
ing to go out into the world His mother
strenuously objected, and this probably
led him to adopt the summary method
of overcoming the parental objection

IT'S SETTLED. THE INCOME TAX THEORY HAS BEEN DECIDED UPON.
THE PLAN ADOPTED.
It Will be Presented to the Full Comnait- tee To- Dsy--This Relieves All Elm barrassment and Insures
 Tariff Reductions.

WASHINGTON, D. O., Nov. 1S.- An income tax is to be favorably recommended to the committee on ways and means by the sub-commit- tee having the matter in charge. This has at last been definitely de- cided, and the subcommittee on in- ternal revenue will make such re- port at the first meeting of the full Democratic membership, which is expected to take place to-day. A stage has been reached and frankly conceded where the whole policy of the committee depends on the question of an in- come tax. If the plan fer an in come tax, which has been so strongly urged by Messrs. Bryan, Tarsney and Whiting in the conn mittee, and number of Democratic congressman in public, shall prevail, the committee will have no further difficulty in making such radical reductions in the tariff as will fully satisfy the national Democratic platform. So far the great difficulty of the committee has been to reduce the tariff without creating a deficit in the treasury, and this embarrass- ing condition as has been the chief hope of the income tax mem. The protests that have come up from every industry, as contemplate l tariff reductions have been an nounced, and open threats of South ern Democrats who lodged such vigorous objections to removing the bounty on sugar and adding coal, iron, ore and rice to the free list, has finally caused the income tax iheory to be given the serious con sideration which indicates it's final adoption. The plan will come to the committee with the unanimous recommendation of the Democratic members of the sub committee hay ing it in charge, and it is stated the theory is commended by every Dem- ocratic member of the main commit tee except Mr. Cochran, of New York, and possibly Chairman Will son.

BLouNTs REPORT.
1t Was Stolen from tho Government Print
 ing Onice Saturday Night.


 ing Onice Saturday Night.
 WASHINGTON, D. O., Nov. 20 = The publication of the Blount re- port this morning does not seem to have disconcerted the state depart ment particularly. It proves to contain little not summarized and indicated in the Gresham letter to the president. Secretary Gresham still declares that he has nothing to say upon the subject and noth- ing is to be given out. It is intinated the Blount report was stolen from the govern ment printing office, where it was put into type Saturday night. No confirmation or denial of the accu- racy of the published report can be had from the secretary of states office beyond the assertion that Secretary Gresham's letter on the subject contained the substance.
 The Hawaiian minister, Mir. Thurston, was in conversation with the secretary of state this morning. It was not the intention at the Hawaiian legation after the arrival of the Australia Saturday to seek the state department for light on the course of events proposed to Hawaii. It is conjectured tho Hawaiian minister's call was by in- vitation.
