NO BLANKS IN THIS COMPETITION.

This is competition of rather an unusua
nature. 1t is common to offer prizes for the
best story, or picture, or architectural plan,
ali the con petitors risking the loss of their
labor and the successful one merely selling
his for the amount of the prize. But the
Press Claims Company's offer is something
entirely different, Each person is asked
merely to help himself, and the one who
helps himself to the best advantage is to be
rewarded for doing it. The prize 10 only q
STIMULUS to do something that would be
well worth doing without 1t. The architect
whose competitive plan for club house on Q
certain corner is not accepted has not spent
his labor on something of very little use TO
him. But the person who patent simple and
useful device in the Press Claims Company 8
competition, need not worry If he fail TO Sc
cure the prize. He has a substautial result TO
show for his work-one that Will command It's
value in the market at any time.
The plain man who uses any article In MS
daily work ought to know better how TO I'M
prove 1t than the mechanical expert VINO
studies it only from the theoretical point OF
view. Get rid of the idea that an improve
ment can be too simple to be worth patentng
The simpler the better. The person who DesI
succeeds In combining simplicity and popu'
larity, will get the Press Claims Company 8
TWENTY-FIVE hundred dollars.
The responsibility of this company may be
decd from the fact that it's stock is held by
bout three hundred of the leading news
apers of the United States.

fortunate, as General Ezeta speaks

Tho Little Things The Most Valuable.

Comparatively few fpeople regard them.
sell yes as inventors, but almost everybody
has been struck, ate one time or another,
wi tn ideas that seemed calculat ed to reduce
some of theGlitte fIictions of life. Usually
such ideas are dismissed with out further
thought.
"Why don't the railroad company make its
car windows so that they.csn be slid up and
down without breaking the passengers
backs?' ex claims the traveller. IF l were
running the road would make the I'M in such
way"
"What was the man that made this sauce
pan thinking off" grumbles the cook. HE
never had to work over q stove or he would
have known how it ought to have been fixed"
Hang such a collar button!" grows the
man who is late for breakfast. "If were in
the business I'd make buttons that would'nt
slip out, or break off, or gouge out the back
of my neck"
And then the various sufferers forgot about
Stheir grievar es and beginito 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 In
dependently wealthy as the man who invent
ed the iron umbrella ring, or the one who
patented the fifteen puzzle.

interesting to she Irish catholics,
who were anxious to demonstrate
their loyalty to the ancient

their excelleAt bishop, and
the fact that they require a parish
of their own, so they tnrned oOt in
great numbers and proceeded to
the bishops residence, headed by
the United States baEd and the
local division of the Ancient Order
Of Hibernians and escorted the
bishop tn the chapel, two mountod
Hibernians, in full regalia, being
on either side of the Episcopal car
riage. On arrival there the bishop
passed through two files of the An-
ciegrt Order of Hiberniams to the
altar and was respectfully saluted.

SENATE.


The Senate bill to authorize the Mont
gomery Bridge Company to construct 8
bridge across the Alabama river neal
Montgomery, Ala, was passed, Mr.
Vest making special request to that
effect.
Notices were given that the Senate
would be asked to suspend business il
order that fitting tributes be paid to-
day at 4:30 p. m. to the memory of the
late Representative f. B. Spinola, oil
New York, and, on Wednesday at p
m, to the memory Of the late Senator
Gibson, of Louisiana.
The legislative appropriation bill was
taken up and an amendment was
agreed to appropriating S75, 900 for the
purchase of George Bancroft's library
of historical manuscripts and printed
books and pamphlets.
Mr.. German moved TO strike out OF
the bill the reference to Investigation
of the "slums of Cities" and his motion
was agreed 10.
HOUSE.
One of the few remaining hours of
the present Congress was consumed in
the House to-day with practically no
result. Private bills were called, the
reports upon them were read and then
objection was made.
Mr.. McRae submitted the conference
report on the bill for the transfer of a
portion of the Fort Randall military
reservation to the State of Nebraska
for school purposes.
After half an hour was consumed in
roll call the conference report was re-
.jected.
Notwithstanding Mr.. Hatch's oppo-
sition, Mr.. Holman's motion was agreed
to.
The sundry civil hill was taken up,
but the silver men filibustered from the
start, Mr.. Price saying "We will take
advantage of every amendment on the
sundry civil appropriation bill to delay
action from now until nextDecember un-
less agreement can be arrived at.
We have made a proposition that the
Sherman amendment should be non
concurred in at the close of debate, but
our opponents, while agreeing that that
action should be taken in committee of
the whole, desire that it shall be acted
upon in the House. We are not to be
cajoled in that manner"
Though the prediction has not been
made in open House the feeling is gen
cral among members that the bill will
fail of passage and that this failure will
lead to an extra session.
At half-past O'Clock eulogies on the
late Senator Barbour of Virginia were
commenced and Messrs. Meredith, Wise
Tucker and Jones, ofVirginia, Millken,
of Maine, and Kendall, of Kentucky,
have already spoken.
