WASHINGTON. D. c.. May 16, 1S93.-For
culation In the Interior Department,
which have brought into serious question
the official conduct of w. E. Simonds,
late Commissioner Of Patents,
Several days ago one of the most promi-
nent firms of patent attorneys in this city
wrote letter to Commissioner Seymour,
stating that they had received informa-
ton from source believed to be trust
worthy, that certain applications in the
celebrated telephone case of Daniel Draw
baugh in the secret archives of the Pat
cut Otace, had been copied under the au-
thority of Mr.. Simonds, while Commits
sioner, by parties outsiue of the Patent
Office. all OF which was contrary to the
law. They asked that an official invests
gaIion be had, and that they De informed
OF the facts in order that they might take
such action as the interests OF their
clients might seek to warrant.
Upon the matter coming TO the atten-
tion of Secretary Smith, he Immediately
ordered an Investigation which, it is un-
derstooa, is practically completed. 1t is
stated. that the forthcoming report OF the
investigation will contain facts of a
character not easily explainable. It is

plications pending In the Patent Office

proximately 55 010 words, is said to have

The message of Secretary Gresham to

matter OF the reception and entertain

movements, AS originally prepared, car

and suite from Havana for New York.
This happy issue. out OF what was a
most EN- barasfing situation, was OF great
relief to both the state Department. and
the Spanish Legation. The Duke OF

courtesy and consideration due TO the
rauk and station of the Princess would
be observed by the government OF
the United States. This it
will be seen, does not defln-

Henry Gebhardt on Broadway yesterday
and then committed suicide, was resi-

and two children on the third floor of the
tenement house No. 25S Third street.
Wanner was always looked upon by the
neighbors as an industrious. sober man.
Saturday night he told his wife he had
lost his position. He seemed very de-
spondent Sunday he seemed more de-
spondent. Sunday afternoon he left home,
not saying where he was going, but his
wife thinking he was only going out for
a walk. He did not return Sunday night,
and the first his wife heard oil him was
when word was brought to her of her
husbands act She was grief stricken.

fed. State Detective James Jackson
aud Principal Keeper Connaughton inn
me dfaiely went to the spot and positively
Identified the body as that OF Tnom as

One of the chief beauties of the larger

The almost interminahle vistas of chest
nuts aud acacias stretching along the
broad and well-paved avenues as tar as
the eye can reach, their bending branches
almost touching one another in an ends

lightful perspective for the eye. but serve
to add beauty TO cities already beaueifusp

This, however. is not the result of Ma.
ture's nandiwork alone. for science and
art have lent their aid. The planting, as
we'll as the maintenance of the trees in
French cities, is an item of no little 1m-
portance in tie annual budget prepared
by the municipal council. which does not
look upon their preservation as of less
consequence than the repairing of the

MORE ~SOCIABILITY.

Mr.. EDITORIALS I see so many let
ters from so many of your patrons, on
so many subjects, I dare to put in my
oar" hoping that your commodious
waste basket is full to overlooking and
by that means this may escape it's hor-
rors. am a reader of your valuable
paper, but I see very little in it from
your patrons about our social welfare
as an order. Hence l write this hop
ing others will coincide with me in the
belief that we as Alliancemen and
women should strive to make u Or
der and our meetings more sociable.
The Alliance is largely composed of
farmers, and at best the farmers life
is lonely. The farmer is generally
looked upon rs a social failure. When
the necessary routine business of our
meetings is over why not give all a
chance to talk, and why not occasion
ally have some social question up,
some economical or moral subject in
which our lady members would take
part? 1t would give a zest to our meet
ings that they will never have if we
neglect this part of what 1 believe to
be our duty. Being unsociable we
cannot be a unit. The success of the
Alliance largely depends on the regular
attendance of not only men but
women, therefore let us do all we can
to make our meetings so interesting
that none can stay away. The ques-
ton box, adopted by some, should meet
the hearty approval Of every member
Of the Alliance.
Very truly, MIZ.

BRO. HOOVER GIVES SATIsFAC-
TON.

MARS HILL, n. @.
Mr. EDITOR:-AlloW me to hurriedly
say to you and our brethren that Bro.
Hoover has filled his appointments in
Madison and that to the satisfaction Of
every Allianceman who heard him.
On the 21st at Laurel Fork he spoke
to a good crowd in a section where the
opportunity for good was bepond ques
ton. and I learn that the work was
well done.
On the 22d at Bull Greek again he
addressed an attentive crowd who
we're anxious to hear him talk. At
this place the friends carried out din
ner and had what might be called a
splendid time.
On the 23d he spoke to an attentive
audience at Mars HILL. His speech
here was to a mixed crowd and was set
down by ali, both friend and enemy,
as the finest speech ever made in this
section on the Alliance issues. While
there are many u~nfaltering and IN
compromising Alliancemen here, there
are others who are foes to the Order
straightout. Still no expression was
heard that did not commend the
speech.
At night on the 25th he spoke to a
full court house in Marshall, and as.
before his speech was a telling blow
for the order and reformation.
We feel greatly lifted up by the help
his visit has given us, and noW we see
that by a still further canvass we will
come to the front and come with mate
rial that will wear.
Brother Hoover left US with the
kindest regards of all people.
AS before stated, even those who are
against us could but praise his manly
speeches in this county. We thank
Bro. Worth for sending this brother
among us, for he has builded for US a
sure foundation.
You will hear from old Madison in
the coming days. God bless the Ali
ance. W. P. JERvIs.
