PATENTS.
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
cOnvenences of mankind in the factory
and workshop, the household, on the farm,
and in official life, require continual Access
sionS to the appurtenances and implements
of each in order to save labor, time aud ex
pense. The political change in the admin
istration 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 cOnceiving 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
innum1rable 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 a quick endeavOr to
get an allowance and obtain the fee then
due. THE PRESS CLAIMS COMPANY.

Ravages of the Storm.

The extent of the damage caused In
various sections Of the country by the
late storm is serious, but fortunately
there has been comparatively small
loss Of life. The destruction Of prop
erty, however, will aggregate a vast
sum. and must inevitably add to the
prestige Of the financial depression al
ready weighing down upon the
country. But small in proportion is
such a calamity compared to the Johns
town disaster, in which 50 many human
lives were sacrificed.
Still it is not pleasant to contemplate
the ruin wrought thus early in the
season by one of the most dangerous Of
the elements when it breaks beyond
its natural barriers. At present it Is
hard to determine just where the loss
Is greatest. W~illiamsport, much Of
whose prosperity is dependent upon her
saw mills. will feel the effects kecnly.
ne II fortune in logs was swept away.
Great damage to shipping has also re.
suited. The ravages of the food along
the SchuyIkill river are severe, and
many families have been left homeless.
From other sections also come reports
of restitution caused by the flood, but
1t is useless to attempt a computation
of either the suffering or damage that
have resulted from the storm. The
easiest deduction is the moral illus
treting the extreme helpleasness Of
man to resist the forces Of nature
when the dangers menace him.

Senator Hills Futukre.

Although, as a matter OF course, there
have been promps denials. it neverthe.
less remains possible and even plausible
that at the last moment Senator Hill
will introduce a protective tariff bill
with the income tax eliminated, move
its substitution for the economic what
is-it now before the senate, resign his

There are several reasons why this
course is q possibility. In the first
place, New York will otherwise Ger.
tainly elect q Republican governor.
Flower knows this, and it is common
rulnor that only by the strongest party
pressure can he be induced to put IN
the $125. 900 necessary to give his can
didacy for denomination so much as
the ghost Of a show for success.
A second reason, OF equal Importance,
ia that unless by some such bold, adroit
and dramatic surprise, Senator Hill
can rally again TO the Democratic sup
port that peculiar and desperate popu-
lar enthusiasm which has always been
his greatest political resource, it will
be necessary for the magnificent state
political machine which Hill, Murphy
and Croker built up to lay by for re-
pairs, in doing which it takes many
chances Of becoming rusty and out of
date. Already the Trojan senator has
notified his Elmirs colleague of

to resign the state Craftsmanship and

David P. Thomas.

The lrisf announcement OF the
death Of David p. Thomas made in
THE TRIBUNE Of yesterday morning
was received with universal regret by
his many friends about the city. AS
an example of true and earnest man
hood With fixed principles and high
ambitions. the deceased had few equals
in our midst. His open-handed charities
and answering fidelity to friends could
not help but win the respect of
all regardless Of differences OF senti-
ment that might exist upon other mat
tiers, David P. Thomas was numbered
among the ideals OF the sslf-mads man.
Born in Wales AZ years ago, he was
thrown upon his own u when q
mere Lad. and went to sea. After an
experience Of several years on ship
board he drifted to this country and
settled in the anthracite region. Am
bilious aud energetic, he took an active
part in politics and soon became one'of
the recognized leaders.
In the days Of the Labor Reform
party no was one OF the most promi-
men and enthusiastic supporters Of the
cause, and va a stakeholder in the
labor publication known as the Labor
Advocate. Since the collapse of the
labor movement Mr.. Thomas has been
an out aud out Republican and has ao-
compli5hed good work for the organi-
cation whenever his services were
needed. Mr.. Thomas was probably
best known as the proprietor Of tue
Blade. Il paper devoted to the interes is

county aud IA journal that has assisted
materially in ~turtherins Republican
ism in this city,
The deceased was u member Of the
Scranton board of control, represent
ing the Second ward for six years and
also served the board as secretary for
two years in an acceptable manner.
Mr.. Thomas at the time of his death
was national secretary Of the Ivorits
Society Of America. He was intru-
mental in establishing the American
branch Of the society and has been one
Of tho most successful of Ivorite sec
retaries Upon his visit to the old
country last summer Secretary Thomas
was accorded the highest honors that

Thomas also took great interest in
musical matters and was vice-president
of the Cambro. American society and
one of the earnest supporters of all
musical enterprises in the valley of
the Lackawanna.
In daily life the deceased was pleas
ant and companionabls. Generous al
most to a fault, his purse was always
open 70 charity, his heart went out to
the afflicted in every walk of life, and
supplication for relief never failed to
receive q hearty response. Honest and
upright in all dealings; generous,
brave and true, answering in fidelity
to friends, David P. Thomas furnished
an example Of life worth of emulation.
