TO INVENTORS.

If you have made an invention you want q
patent. And you want a good one. There are
various kinds of patents. Some of them are
not worth keeping around the house. They
don't protect. 1t is as unsafe to trust to them
as to a lightning rod without ground con-
nectiOn. That is the kind an inventor is like
ly to get when he draws up his own specitica-
tions. or trusts the work to an irresponsible
attorney. 1t is not the kind dealt in by the
Press Claims Company.

Mr.. Wilson's Defeat In West Virginia.

Mr.. William l.. Wilson, of West Vir
ginia. who framed the tariff hill. the
emasculation of which in the Senate
by the majority under the leadership
of Senators German and Brice has
brought such disaster upon the Demo
cratic party. has himself been defeated
for re election. The men who have
framed tariff bills in recent years have
usually had hard time in their imme
date future. Mr.. Morrison of Illinois,
after passing his bill through the
House. was defeated before his constit-
uents; Mr.. Mills of Texas, with his bill,
stirred up SO much enmity within his
party that he failed to secure the
Speakership Of the House; Mr.. McKin
ley of Ohio passed his bill through both
Houses of Congress, and was then de
feated for reelection at the polls by
Mr.. Warwick. The mai who defeated
Mr.. Wilson is known scarcely at all
outside of his own neighborhood His
name is Ashton G. Dayton, and he
lives at Philippi. He is about forty
years old, and is by profession a law
yer. On the stump, and in personal
canvass among the people with whom
he has always lived, he squite formid
able. He knows what to say to each
people, and how to say 1t. For in
stance, when Mr.. Wilson was travel

was entertained in London, Mr.. Day
ton was busily at work among the PEG

Wilson was, he replied He is dining

n is ACTION UPHELD
Believed That Captain Thomas Will Be
Sustained
Giving Refuge to the Ezeta Fugftives
in San SalvadOr-NO Recognized
Government at the Time.

Although not officially admitted. there
Herbert has sent a dispatch to Capt
Thomas. commanding the Bennington. at
La Libertad. practically sustaining his
course in arrording temporary asylum to
the Ezeta refugees and refusing to honor
the demand of the revolutionists for their
surrender. This action Is said to be based
on the theory that there was no actual and
recognized government in Salvador at the
time the fugitives were received and that
Capt. Thomas could not very well have
acted Inherently under the circumstances.
Otherwise the fugitives would have fallen
victims to the fury of disorganized mob
OF the opposite political party. The matter
was considered at today's cabinet meet
ing.
A dispatch was received from Capt
Thomas by Secretary Herbert last night.
1t was brief. but to the point. He said he
had refused to surrender the refugees. and
had arranged to transfer them today to a
Pacific mail steamer sailing for Panama.
No reference was made to the situation in
Salvador. SO it Is inferred that rioting Is
at an end for the present. There are
rumors that the Salvadorans are highly
incensed at Capt. Thomas for having re-
fused to accede to their demands. and that
they may undertake to make his stay at
La Libertad exceedingly unpleasant, IL not
dangerous: Confidence is freely expressed
in Capt. Thomas ability to take care of
himself, but steps will be taken to rein
force him at once in case Of necessity.
Carelessness On his part in allowing his
men too much freedom while the present
excitement prevails might result in a repe-
tition Of the Baltimore AFFAIR at Valparaiso
He will be expected to take every precau-
ton to avoid such a catastrophe.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, June 1.-THE dIssat-

Judge Taft WAS very emphatic in his
orders to Marshal BOIL to suppress all viola
tons of the order of the court and stated
that If the marshal could not secure enough
deputies for that purpose the court would
Immediately call on President Cleveland for
government troops.
1t is stated that the commandants of Fort
Thomas and Columbus garrison are advised
to be in readiness.
Marshal Bohl swore in fifty deputies at
once and expects to have several hundred
before he leaves at o'clock for Column
bus. He will get recruits along the way
stopping at Columbus from $3.50 until mid
night. where recruits are to rendezvous

indignant over the situation today.

B R Ut ALLY ASSAULTED
A Young Colored Girl Attacked by -Four
Men.
Her Clothes Torn From Her Body-A
Cavalier Who Ran Away
Rescued In Time.

Henrietta Storried, a oolored girl, was
violently assaulted on the New Cut road
last evening shortly after o'clock. Four
unknown men were engaged in the brutal
affair. In spite of their efforts. however.
they did not succeed in their purpose Mr..
John Blundon, who was attracted by the
screams of the girl, frustrated them. He
nred at them with a shotgun just as they
were about to succeed in overpowering their
victim. They fled at the report making to-
ward the woods. They left the girl almost
unclothed, bruised, scratched and frighten-
ed. Today she is almost nervously pros
trated. Henrietta is a domestic in the en-
ploy of Mr.. Sherwood of 33d and r streets.
There she was found by a Star reporter to-
day. She was considerably affected with
shattered nerves still. but told her story in
deliberate manner and with no contradic-
tons. While she talked she rubbed her
bruised face with a carbolic wash.
According to Henrietta, just after the
Sherwoods' supper dishes had been placed
away she was called upon by an admirer,
airy, troop X, stationed at Fort Myer, whom
she has known for about year.
They took a walk out the road to gather
daisies" While engaged in this pastime
they were approached by four colored men
clad like laborers and Dickerson was COM
manded to leave the girl. He refused,
whereupon the men began to stone him.
Then he ran. Before he had gone far,
stone caught him on the back of the head
and cut him deeply. AS he made off the
girl yelled for him to get a policeman.
At the time he was probably half a mile
from the regular beat Of the nearest one
He never came across one until he reached
the station. Then he was covered with
blood. In the meantime, the girl claims,
she was being assaulted by the men. They
dragged her in some neighboring bushes
and began a series of beatings to render
her unconscious. One she says, first beat
her in the face and then sat upon her to
smother her outcries. At the same time
she was being beaten on the breast and
stomach and injured in other portions of
her body. She says she was just about to
cease her struggles through the loss of
strength when she heard the gun go off.
and a moment later received the assistance
of Mr.. Blundon and his son. They accom-
panied her to town. The girls clothes were
torn in many places. and the back of
light waist she wore is begrimed with mud.
No clue to the perpetrators Of the assault
has been obtained.
Henrietta Storried is from artinsburg,
Montgomery county, Md, where her par
ents still reside. She is rooming with Mrs.
Barker of 916 18th street. The. victim of
the assault is twenty years of age and in
telligent. 100

DID NOT AGREE
COMMONWEALTH DO Not Like Senate,
Villas.

Messrs. Coxey and Browne. the leaders
Of the army OF the commonwesl. called at
the Senate today and struck another Sc
rious snag. They sent in their cards to
Senator Villas, chairman Of the select COM
mittee on the existing public distress"
which this morning decided to hear all VOL
untary witnesses who might appear before
il. Mr.. Villas responded at once and found
the men in the outer reception room, which
was soon the scene Of an excited discussion
between them. Mr.. Villas told Coxey and
Browne that his committee would be glad
TO listen to their arguments and petition,
but ne said, in answer TO q question. that
the committee had no stenographer and
therefore could not take verbatim report
OF the words OF the commonweal orators.
This was not agreeable informs ton for the
gentlemen VINO have Just emerged from the
seclusion of the District ian. and in hot
terms they protested against such treat
ment.
Mr.. Villas responded tartly that the COM
nlittee was giving to them all that could
be given, and he saw no way out OF n
difficulty. Co%ey and Browne were stfll in
ciined TO complain. and Mr.. Villas losing
patience with them, taike1 TO them very
severely. They got no further satisfaction
from him. and the interview ended most
unpl sanity.
They Immediately sent cards In TO Sem
ator Kyle, who responded and into whose
ears treF poured the4r tale OF Woe They
expressed great dissatisfaction with the
treatment which tney had received from
MIR. Villas and complained that this select
committee had no weight whatever in the
Senate, but had been formed just as they
eNnresse1 IL, TO put them of. ="
They thought that their arguments should
be stenographically reported and they were
very impatient that the Senate had nor
granted them a hearing before the regular
staaading committee. Mr.. Kyle who is
chairman OF the committee on education
and labor, where the good roads bill was
referred. told the visitors that he would
grant them a hearing before that commit
tee next Friday morning il he could pos
sibly arrange an early meeting. The 10

TO impossible to secure meetings Of the reg
ular committees. hut he promised that II
he could not secure a quorum for the reg
ular meeting he would appoint a snbcouf-
mttea to hear their arguments, and would
furnish them with a stenographer.
The c9rnmonwealers were quite delighted
with this prospect and after thanking Mr..
Kyle. withdrew. IL is now the program
that they shall appear on Friday before
subcommittee OF the committee on education
and labor. Ii is not at all certain. after the
breezy interview between them ana Mr..
Villas, that CoXcy and Browne will secure
an audience before the public distress COM

GOV. SIMS ON EDUCATION,
Address of the Assistant Secretary of
the Interior.

JACKSON, Miss. June 1.-THE commence
ment exercises of Millsaps College were held
today The feature was the address on
Education delivered by ex-Gov. Sims.
first assistant secI etary of the interior. He
referred at length to the aims of the insti-
tuition and tho philosophy Of education. and
made an eloquent plea for revision of I'M
migration laws. He said in part: THE
philosophy that controls education is traced
from the early history Of China, which.
2uDO years ago, held competitive examina-
tons for official POSITIONS, and where be-
trayal Of any expression not based on the
authority Of the precepts Of Confucius and
Mercus was fatal to the office seekers.
Education does not merely contemplate
the unfolding of mental powers. but de-
mands that the largest amount of important
mind. So all thought is an educational fac
tor. There are many roads to knowledge,
but only one to education, and that through
the gateway of self-help."
In concluding, Gov. Sims spoke Of the
present agitations of socialists and anar-
chists throughout the world. He said:
Socialists and anarchists cannot perma-
nently harm American Institutions. The
agitation In Europe doubtless will opera te
