THE PUBLIC WARNED.
A Man Who IL Said to BE Not All
Right.

Right.
A circular signed by ]. W. Gaines, who
gives his residence as 1910 oath street has
been circulated during the past few days.
The circular states that Gaines Is in charge
Of the Sturgeon Mission. Dingman place.
and alley mission work generally. The
names Of many alleged sick and destitute
colored persons appear in the circular as
being In need of assistance and mention Is
made Of a note from DR.. Sunderland and
Rev. E. d. Bailey. Prof. Cleveland Able
and Rev. 8. G. Lampkins are mentioned as
references. The circular says:
mo doubt the Associated Charities re-
lieve these who call. but there are many
who cannot find this association. as they
are too poor to buy newspapers or too old
or sick to look for them. and the associa-
ton certainly do not hunt up the needy
and deserving. If it had not been for the
assistance Of q few business men who
gave me some food and q little money at
least twenty families would have gone alb
solutely hungry on Thanksgiving day, not
Associated Charities Much is trusted to
the police and they. as general rule. do
not do Justice to the negro; besides. the
public contributes to all. but many worthy
cases are overlooked on account Of their
color"
Recently the secretary Of the Associated
Charities, Mr.. L. 9. Emery sent q note to
the newspapers warning the public against
Mr.. Gaines.
Sergeant Keefe Of the third precinct was
given one Of the circulars and after an
Investigation he reported to Lieut.. Boyle
that many OF the persons mentioned in the
circular were not in need and some of
them did not even live at the places where
the circular stated they did. He further
attended Thanksgiving dinner given by
the man Gaines who Is known as the
Rev" Gaines. and concludes by saying
while the Rev. Gaines was engaged in
mission work, he was arrested in this pre-
cinct. charged with keeping an unlicensed
bar. He was convicted in the Police Court
and fined $105 At that time he lived on
was warned at that time that II there were
any more complaints about his house his
place would be raided. He moved from
that locality shortly afterward."

THE SENATE RULES.
A Growing Impression That There
VIII he NO Change in Them.

There Is a growing impression among
Senators on both sides Of the Senate cham
Der that there will be no attempt made to
change the rules during this Congress at
least. During the silver debate of the ex-
traordinary session. when the silver men
carried debate to a point where repeal men
called ''deliberation" filibustering, many
attempts were made to force the adoption
of a cloture rule. These propositions were
finally referred to the committee on rules
along with numerous rules relating to quo
runs, and the counting Of members pres
ent and not voting. &c. When the Senate
adjourned it was the understanding that
during the recess the committee would get
together and agree upon some policy that
that were enacted during that debate.

No More CobbIers.

There is no sense in calling a shoe
maker of modern times a cobbler. The
nearest thing to a cobbler today is the
custom made man who confines his at
tention exclusively to that one branch.
Machinery for making shoes in great
quantities and in sections is of compare
lively recent date, and prior to its adop-
ton the shoemaker, or cobbler, did the
entire business, from taking the measure
to collecting the money. In small towns
and villages he literally performed the
entire process himself, having insufficient
trade to justify the employment of an
assistant, and in larger cities he superin-
tended the work from beginning to end
himself. The labor saving wonders of
the times have practically swept this
mar out Of the field, and there are very
few members of the trade who are really
cObblers.-St. Louis Globe-DemOcrat.

Patents and What They Protect.

A business man in this city who is up
to his ears in the work necessary to
gather capital to float an enterprise, and
at the anne time to keep information Of
the nature of it away from busy rivals,
found time last week to say: "Did you
yer think that a patent does not patent
in this country? Well, it's a fact. All
that the patent Office does is to give you
a paper with OH writing on it, but if
another mar steals your idea and goes
t manufacturing your invention the
patent Office will not lift a finger to pro-
tect you or to stand by its w decision.
The fact that you've got a patent is a
point in your favor, but you've got to
hire lawyers and fight the thief in the
courts, and if he can stand it to hire
lawyers longer than you can that settles
you, and you might as we'll make him a
present of your invention. There are lots
Of men in the country who are getting
rich on the discoveries of other people.
All they had to do was to take EN- and
fight the real discoveries into poverty.
The patent Office, to be respected and to
be of any use, ought to have the power
to cause the stealer of a patent to be sent
to prison. New York Sun.
