MYSTERY OF MRS. ROSE SLATE.

BUFFALO, Dec. 3, tS94.-Mrs. Rose
Slate, the shoplifter, who stole $4,000
worth of diamonds from Agent Ketchan
in Dicknson's jewelry store Saturday,
and a $275 sealskin from Barnes, Hene
rerer & Co.'S store continues to battle
the police on the subject of her identity.
Detective Connors and McDonough of
the Pinkerton agency reached Buffalo
yesterday in response to telegram Sat
urday night from the jewellers Alli-
ance through Agent Ketcham.
They could not place Rose as a pro-
fessional thief whom they had ever
seen. The detectives returned to New
York last night. The woman put up at
the Brosel House Saturday morning,
where Ketcham was staying, and it is
quite probable she learned there that he
was a jewelry agent and planned the
robbery
Had she left liquor alone she would
undoubtedly have escaped, and the loss
of the jewelry would have remained a
profound mystery. Her trunk contains, a
number of costly dresses. which, she
says, she bought and paid for, though
the police think they were stolen. She
came here from Springfield, Mass, and
had ticket for Chicago when arrested.

DID NOT OWN THE PROPERTY.

Lawrence O'Connor applied to Vice
Chancellor Van Fleet this morning for
an injunction to restrain James Tyrell
from prosecuting a suit against him for
ejectment from premises in Bayonne.
O'Connor contracted with Tyrell to pur-
chase the property paying $3.50 to bind
the contract. He was given possession
on June g. and after moving into the
house he expended $1,000 in repairs. When
he went to make his first payment of
$1,000 under the contract TyrelPs repre-
sentative refused to accept it and said
the contract would not be carried out.
The Tyrells then began the suit for
ejectment, which Mr.. O'Connor wanted
stopped. In reply Mr.. Gilbert Collins,
for the Tyrells, claimed, that James
Tyrell had no right to make the contract,
as he was only one of several heirs who
owned the property. The Vice Chancel-
lor reserved his decision,

The Territorial Legislation Has no
Right to Pass The Law.

CANNOT LEASE SCHOOL LANDS.
The Court held in the case of w, l..
BnrroNs ct al W.. Oliver q. Kimball Ct
al, appellants, that the Territorial Leg.
islature had no right to pass law Civ
ing authority to County Courts to lease
school lands, and also held in this par
ticular case that the lease mabe by
Emery county was invalid, even il tho
statute referred to had been valid.
The plaintiffs in the court below, hay.
ing leased from the County Court of
Emery county section OF school land
adjoining the town OF Schoiield, brought
suit against the defendants for free
pass, and judgment was rendered in
their favor.
1t appears from the record that plain
tiffs and defendants had been in the
occupancy of the land prior to the exc
eution OF the lease, and both had made
applications to the County Court for
such lease. 1t further appears that the
plaintiffs had deposited with the Cle:k
the $2C Zee required to accompany APP
plications, and the defendants had not,
and the PLAINTIFF application was
granted by the court without notice to
the defendants.
The appellants hold upon then appeal
that the Territorial Legislature had no
right to pass the law giving TO County
Courts ths authority TO lease school
lands, and that the lease made to plain
tilIs In the present instance was invalid
because the law az to the leasing OF
school lands was not followed.

ion OF the court reversing the judgment
OF the court below, and Chief Justi ,e

PATENTS.
Notice to Inventors.

There was never O time in the history
Of our country when the demands for
Inventions and improvements in the arts
and sciences generally was so great NJ
now. The convenences OF mankind in
the factory and workshop, the household,
on the farm, and in official life, require
continual nccessions TO the apperten-
ances and implements Of each in order TO
save labor, time and expense. The
political change in the administration Of
government does not effect the progress
Of the American inventor, who being on
the alert. and ready to perceive the ex-
isting deficiencies, does not permit the
afnil OF government TO deter him from
quickly conceiYing the remedy TO over
come discrepancies. Too great care can
not he exer .sed in choosing acompetent
aud skillful attorney TO prepare and
prosecute an application for patent.
Valuable interests have been lost and
destroyed in innumerable instances by
the employment ofincompetent council,
and especially is this ADVICE applicable
TO those who adopt the mo patent, no

their business TO this class OF attorneys
do 80 at imment risk, as the breadth and
strength Of the patent is never consider
ed in view Of quick endeavor TO get an
allowance and obtain the fee then due.
