St. Louis Detectives Chased Murder er
Who Had Never Left His Home
The chiefs of police Of the United
States have a good joke on Larry
Harrigan, the vve1l-known chief Of
the St Louis police. The chiefs about
fifty of them, met in invention in St
Louis and the first day that they were
in session, a man murdered his wife
IN a room just across the street from
the Four Courts, where the chiefs
were assembled. The murderer
was a well-known character, and
Major Harrigau is said to
have made a little boast to the visit
ing chiefs that he would have the ux-
oricide in custody before the night.
So he ordered out special detail of
fifty of his best detectives and patrol
men, in citizens clothes, and told
them the man had to be caught They
went to work with a will, guarded
depots, searched trains, hid in dark
alleys, and all that. but got no trace
of the man wanted. Next day re-
volver shot rang out from the house
where the woman had been killed A
policeman rushed in and found that
the murderer had committed suicide
in the very room in which he had cut
his wife's throat On the floor was
this note:
''sWhat is the matter with st. Louis
detective and police force? 1 haven't
been outside of this house
investigation showed that after
killing the woman the husband had
gone up stairs. After her body had
been carried out he returned to the
room and tried to cut an artery in his
wrist Failing in this he sat down
and waited for the detectives to come
and get him. After waiting twelve or
fourteen hours he became tired, and,
searching his wife's trunk, found a
pistol and shot himself. Major Har-
rigan certainly has a great reputation
as a capturer of train robbers, but he
missed when he undertook to show
the visiting chiefs of police how to
catch red-handed murderer.

DISCOVERIES In CONSUMPTION
What Dyspepsia has to do with it.

1t is, to say the least, peculiar, that all
consumptives suffer from dyspepsia. Dys-
peptics are not always consumptives, but

Dyspepsia is more like consumption than
any other disease known. 1t is, III fact,
one of the most fruitful causes Of consump-
ton. The dyspepsia in consumption is as
dangerous as the lung trouble.
There are no drugs known that will cure
the dyspepsia of consumption or enable
patients to properly digest their food, and
thus gain flesh except Pascola. which is a

Sparrows Fired the Building.

A pair of English sparrows who built
their untidy nest in a cornice of the
Girls high. school were the indirect
causes of some excitement and of a fire,
about which the bright faced pupils will
outchatter the sparrows for days to
come. The damage was small, but that
was not because of the good intentions
of the feathered interlopers. For aught
any one knows, they may have wished
to burn down the whole building, the
housekeeping season being over with
them and they little better than feath-
cred Migrants.
How they managed to fire the build
ing is not very clear. Professor Barthol-
omew thinks they carried match in the
nest just as they pick up all sorts of 9TH
-ef rfiifhfes; that il got very dry and was
ignited in some mysterious way. The
woodwork of the cornice was easily set
in flames, but it never got much of
start. The fire was discovered by Miss
Olive Catlin, one of the teachers. She
informed Professor Bartholomew, who
at once ran up stairs and threw bucket
of water on the blaze.-Louisville Cou-

Invention of the Fan.

Thepoets of the Celestial empire at
tribute the invention of the fan to one
of their emperors-Wu Wang-who
reigned IL centuries before the Chris
tian era The first fans were made of
bamboo only, but in time feathers and
silk We're used with good effect, and old
writers pompously describe the imperial
chariots decorated with these emblems
of power ON all state occasions. 1t was
only at the beginning of our era, how
ever, that a Chinese fanmaker beat
plates of gold until they were as thin
as locust wings" and applied them ON
both surfaces of screen fans, which he
further decorated with paintings of
birds, beasts and fabulous monsters,
wherein he set glittering bits of mica.
The folded fan, long unknown in China,
is said to have been imported from
Japan in the tenth century, when it be-
gan to replace screen fans. York

PATENTS.
NOTICE TO INVENTORS.

There was never time in the history of
our country when the demand for inven-
lions 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 acces-
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 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 an o 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 endeayor to
get an allowance and obtain the fee then
due. THE PRESS CLAIMS COMPANY,

A Studio Trick.

In the corner of an artists studio in
this city is an ingenious arrangement of
screens, upon one of which, over an aper-
ture about tho size of face, is an in
scription, "Likenesses taken instanta-
neously." The innocent visitor peeks
through the hole and is astonished to be-
hold an exact likeness of himself as a
humpbacked jailer in a scarlet coat,
opening a prison door. The secret of
this effect is simple. The jailer is a life
size painting strongly rendered. The
place for the face is cut out and mir
TOR inserted, rejecting the features of
the spectator. The conception of this
amusing fantasy is not entirely original.
