FIRST TRANSATLANTIC STEAMER.
She Was an American Vessel Using Bot
Sails and Steam.

She Was an American Vessel Using Both
Sails and Steam.
The first steamer to cross the Atlantic
was an American vessel called the Sa-
vanD;.:1, She was a steamship, and used
bot: sails and steam, and was built by
Crociic. (; i'ickett at Corlear's Hook in
New l.s.;s City. The present belief is
that she eya.s built by party of capital
lists who intended to sell her to some
foreign monarch. She was commanded
by Captain Moses Rogers and was a
ship rugged vessel Of nearly 400 tons.
She had horizontal engine, which was
placed between her decks, and her boil
ers were in the lower hold.
1t is generally admitted that the Sa-
vannah sailed from New York in 1919,
going to Savannah, her namesake, in
seven days, four of which she used
steam. There she was chartered by the
city corporation to go to Charleston to
take President Monroe, who was then
travelling through the states on pleas
ure excursion. He failed to accept the
invitation, and the boat returned to Sa-
vannah. After remaining at this port
for some days and taking out parties
Of curiosity as well as pleasure seekers
the Savannah sailed for Liverpool,
reaching it after voyage of 10 days.
seven of which were made under steam.
The arrival of the strange looking ves-
sci, with huge clouds of smoke ascend
ing from her decks and obscuring her rig
ging, caused quite connection when
she entered st. Georges channel off
the city of Cork, and the commander Of
the British man-of-war lying in the
harbor thought she was vessel in dis
tress and sent two cutters to board her.
Everything found all right, however,
the Savannah was allowed to proceed
on her way, and thousands of people
greeted her as she steamed up the Mer-
sey to Liverpool with the American
flag flying at her head. The Savannah
then made trip to Copenhagen, Cron-
stadt and st. Petersburg and then re-
turned to this country, where she was
relieved Of her steam apparatus and
for many years ran as packet between
New York and Savannah, finally going
ashore and breaking up on Long Island.
The Savannah was, of course, a side
wheeler. and as it was impossible to
carry sufficient supply Of fuel in her
to keep up steam on long voyage her
wheels were removed during good sail
ing weather and canvas substituted.
The king of Sweden wanted to buy the
boat when it was abroad, but the deal
went through. Now, those are the facts
about the first steamship that ever cross
ed the Atlantic ocean. Washington

thumb. Inc result Is seen IN the issuance
during 1898 of four new patents for which
applications were fled in 1877, or sixteen
years before. 1t may be remembered that
the Berliner patent, issued to the Bell
company, was detained in the patent Of
flee in similar fashion until it could be
most useful to the Bell company.
Tho Monopoly May BE Continued.
If these patents are to hold good, the
monopoly from which we were about to
escape will be prolonged for sixteen years
more. There is one obstacle in the way Of
the success Of this scheme Section 1887
of the revised statutes of the United States
reads as follows:
mo person shall be debarred from re-
ceiving patent for his invention or dis
covery, nor shall any patent be declared
invalid by reason of its having been first
patented or caused to be patented in for
eign country, unless the same has been In
troduced. in public use in the United
States for more than two years prior to the
application; but every patent granted for
an invention which has been previously
patented in foreign country shall be so
limited es to expire at the same time with
the foreign patent; or, If there be more
than one, at the same time with the one
having the shortest term, and In no case
shall it be in force more than seventeen
years"
The purpose Of this is to place our own
people on as favorable grounds with ref
erence to important inventions as those OF
other countries; SO that if an inventor has
patented his invention abroad, he cannot
exclude the people of the United States
from free use Of it beyond the time when
his foreign patent expires. Now these in

made, and for which patents were obtained

NOTICE TO INVENTORS.

There was never a time in the history of
our country when the demand for inven-
tons and improvements in the arts and sci
enceS generally was so great as now. The
cOnveniences of mankind in the factory
and workshop, the household, on the farm,
and in official life, require continual Access
slonS to the appurtenances and implements
! of each III order TO save labor, time aud eX-
penSe. The pc itical change in the admin
iSratlon of government does not affect the
progress of the American inventor, who be-
ing ON the alert, and ready to perceive the
existing deficiencies, does not permit the af-
fairs of government to deter HIM from
quickly conceiviug the remedy TO overcome
existing discrepancies. Too great care can
not be exercised in choosing a competent
and Skillful attorney to prepare and prose-
cute an application for patent. Valuable
interests have been lost and destroyed in
innum, rable instances by the employment
of incompetent counsel, and especially is
this advice applicable to those who adopt
the ''No patent, no pay" system. Invent
OrS who entruSt their business to this class
of attorneys do so at imminent risk, as the
breadth and strength of the patent is never
considered in view of quick endeavOr to
get an allowance and obtain the fee then
due. THE PRESS CLAIMS COMPANY,

Embarrassing.

There are many little embarrassment
encountered by the professional stroller
for which there seems to be no law, eli
ther of compensation or amelioration.
For instance, take the meeting of the
same person over and over again ON all
afternoons travels. First time you are
overjoyed at the encounter and find
plenty to talk about Fifteen minutes
later you meet again, and the interview
is a trifie less spicy. Still later you
grasp hands for the third time and don't
know what in "Sam Hip to talk about
The next time you meet you bow coldly
and pass ON. but the last time of all
you dash down a side street as though
trying to elude the hand of Providence.

THE DUCHESS AT HOME.
The Popular Irish Author of Many
Clever Love Stories.


London, Aug. 2O-Mrs. Hungerford
is known to her immense circle of
readers as the authoress of 'Molly
Bawn." Like a good many more
woman authors she did not care to
put forth at first her own name in con-
nection with her literary work. Now,
however, she does not mind acknowl-
edging that the Duchess" real self
is the wife of an Irish gentleman and
that she finds in the Emerald Isle all
the material for her charming and bril-
liant studies of British social life.
The daughter of we'll known county
Cork clergyman, Canon Hamilton, Mrs
Hungerford comes of a clerical and
military stock; her first Irish ancestor
having come over from Scotland in the
reign of James the First Even when
quite a child, she delighted in literary
composition, and by the time she was
eighteen managed to spend good
many hours at story writing.
Phyllis" was completed before she
was twenty, and was accepted by Mr.
James Payn for Smith and Elder. Mr..
Payn, as is his wont with young au-
thors in whom he takes an interest,
was exceedingly kind to the new Irish
novelist and gave her many valuable
hints which she has been able to carry
out in her late works.
'AThe Duchess resides near Bandon,
only an hour from Cork by rail. There
the popular authoress lives remote
from the haunts of men in an old
fashioned Irish house renowned for its
hospitality, and surrounded by hus-
band and six children, who never find
that her literary work interferes in any
way with her duties as house-mother
She does all her writing during the
morning hours in a room which, though
supposed to be her study, is not sacred
from any household intruder. Were it
not that Mrs. Hungerford possesses

long as he or she chooses, and no eff
forts are spared to make the audience
entirely comfortable. Refreshments
are close at hand and as the enter
tainment is of a light, vaudeville order
with the scenes constantly changing,
these play houses have come to be eX-
tremely popular resorts for all classes
But soon after opening one great
drawback was discovered. Mothers
and nurses with infants of all ages and
temperaments fiocked to the theatres
and confusion instantly ensued. In the
midst of the most thrilling scene, when
the prirna donna touched her highest
note, a dozen youngsters from all parts
of the auditorium would set up a shrill
and discordant chorus of walls. Of
course the aspiring infants were quick
ly hustled out by sundry ushers and
supes, followed by Inundated mothers
or maids.
Nevertheless the number of these
habitues seemed to increase, and the
proprietors were confronted with the
necessity of meeting the difficulty.
Extra rooms were fitted up, which
served as Ravens of refuge where the
disgruntled babies could be effectually
soothed a clever arrangement, which,
however. prevented the other persons
concerned from witnessing the perfor-
nance. Accordingly maids were Sc
cured, so that now the mother simply
buys her ticket and deposits the baby
in a ROOM Here. with a goodly am
cunt of tactical fluid and gewgaw or
two, the mutinous youngsters enjoy
life in their own peculiar way while
the mothers take in the vaudeville
in uninterrupted bliss.
In some places where the number is
very large special rooms have been
fitted up in a building adjoining the
theatre Here the infant is deposited
and the mother receives a check: No.

for at $780, This method, as Mr.. Well
man of Proctors theatre in New York
admits, SIS more systematic and pre-
vents all property dispute. But yet"
he remarked, sit has some drawbacks.
For, you know, mother always wants
to be near her child and likes to see it
often Now, in our theatre she can go
back and ask, 'Ooze little baby is oo?'
as often as she pleases and still return
in time to see the next living" picture,
whereas in the other way she may miss

to be entertained at home. AS for
the care of house and the strict econ
omy of expenditure advised by people
who tell girls that this is the way TO get
the right sort of husband, they care
nothing. They want brilliancy.
If you ask these notable women why
they have not married, they will reply
f1ippantly. Press them closer and they
show embarrassment. And then you
get the truth. And 1t is this start
ling though you may think it.
Women of great intellect Invariably
love men of small brains, men whom
they pity at first and then marry be-
cause they cannot help it. When they
remain single it is because they are
ashamed to ally themselves with men
of intellect feebler than their own
men who cannot support themselves
and who could never mould the opin-
ion of the world. And SO in spite of
their fondness they do not mary.
At least this is the opinion of the
philosopher quoted at the beginning
man who has studied the world. But
there will be those who will look fur
'ther for the motives that have kept the
worlds greatest women single-mo-
tives of self-sacrifice and devotion to a
cause dearer than home and family

through all she does. Each story is
the outcome of bundle of notes taken
at all times on odd scraps of paper
the back of a letter, the edge of a
newspaper, or on the address side of
a postcard. She is a conscientious
worker and takes care that all her ref
erences and the bits of verses with
which she embellishes her stories are
correct and opposite. Not content with
being a novelist, Mrs. Hungerford con-
trives to get through certain amount
of journalistic work. Most of her nov

run through a serial form of promin-
ent English society magazine.
Although very popular with her fell

points to them saying, could anyone
do less with these for models?'
TWO POET BACHELORS.
That sweet-faced Jean Ingelow, or
timid Christine Rosetti, will marry
seems out of the question entirely to
those who know them. They are too
retiring to listen to words of admira-
ton and too modest to believe that
such are honestly given. When there
was talk and ardent hope in the wom-
an suffrage quarters that one of these
women might be made Poetess Laur-
cate, during Queen Victoria's rein,
several expressions of admiration too
deep for mere esteem were received by
these ladies of the gliding pen assuring
them of loving assistance, but they
passed them by unheeded.
Robert Browning had long, difficult
task to win Elizabeth Barrel, and so
adverse was she to publicity that she
had not been out of the house in sew
eral years.
Not so fated were the Cary sisters,
who have passed entirely away-and
the Brontes, and the Younges. Late in
life George Eliot, attracted by the mis-
fortunes and the helpless children of
George Henry Lewes, linked her for
tunes to his: and Elizabeth Stuart
Phelps, disappointed in girlhood, mar
ried Herbert Ward after he had adored
her secretly and publicly for years
Just how near these women came to
being permanent women bachelors is
well known. Louisa M. Alcott had
many love affairs, but none strong
enough to tempt her into marrying.
