Cardinal NTanning,a IIassara

A London correspondent says: When
Cardinal Manning was dying three
years ago, he spoke a few words for
posterity into monograph which was
kept carefully preserved till the other
day by Cardinal Vaughan. A small
company Of distinguished persons, in
Guiding ambassador Bayard, met on
the invitation of the cardinal at the
archbishop's residence to listen to this
revival of voice that is still. The voice
was very distinct and clear. There were
long pauses between the words. The
message was not in itself of great i'm
port beyond showing the predominant
thought in the mind of a man just be-
fore death. 1t follows:
To All Who May Come After Me:
/ hope that no word of mine written or spo-
ken in my life win be found to have done harm
to any one after am dead.

INVENTORS BARRED OUT.
Only Flying Machines That Have Been Pc
fected Win Be Patented.

Only Flying Machines That HavS Been Per-
fcctod win Be Patented.
We hear a great deal from time to
time in regard to new inventions which
are coming out for the purpose of en-
abling O man TO fly, either from efforts
of his own or through the intervention
of steam engines or other motors 1t is
interesting to note the attitude which
the United States patent Office has taken
in regard to such Inventions. They prac-
tically destroy all claims for flying ma
chimes beforehand, and tho following is
an abstract from what is practically
circular letter sent out to all attorneys
who have made application for flying
machine patents. 1t reads as follows:
''On taking up this case for examine
ton it is found that the invention dis
closed thereby is, as whole, incapable
of practical operation, since without the
assistance Of gas, field or equivalent
the device will be incapable of ascen-
sion. In other words it is not. useful
within the meaning Of the law.
mo evidence will be considered suffi-
Gent to demonstrate the operatiyeness
Of the device and warrant the with
drawal of the objection made by the office
except a working model-that is, one
with which it is possible to actually as
cend and direct the course Of fight at
will
Thus it is practically useless for any
inventor to make an application for Q
patent until he has actually succeeded
in flying. 1t it barely possible that such
a stand as this in regard to certain In
ventions would not be anniss, as there
are more impracticabfe ideas patented
than the world at large have any idea
of. While it may be considered as 6
hardship by flying machine inventors
that they are debarred from the protec
ton of the patent Office. yet until they
have actually produced something whicE
will accomplish the results claimed
they certainly have no right to OVERLAP
the claim of protection on the paten

October of last year stranger appeared
in the village and inquired regarding
the Hallberg family residing there,
claiming to be Mr.. Harris and to rep
resent brother of the Hallbergs who
had left his home about 80 years ago to
seek his fortune in California, and of
whom the family had never since heard.
Before leaving the stranger promised to
write soon and send good news. He was
looked upon with suspicion, and no
faith was placed in his promises.
Several weeks later Jens Hallberg re-
ceived a letter containing matters relat-
ing to the long lost brother and bits of
family history only known to the fam
lily. Enclosed was check for $14, 900,
which was to be equally divided among
the sisters and brothers, giving each
$4,000. The check proved to be good
and was cashed at the Manitowoc Saw
ings bank.
The Hallbergs are respectable people
and rank high in the community. They
are as much mystified as all those who
have looked into the matter and cannot
account for the strange action of their
brother, in case he is still among the
living. This week the family received
a gold watch studded with diamonds

We are now qnarantined on Mr.. Mar.

miles from the city, and as we ali feel
well we have good time, nothing to do
but eat, sleep and go fishing. Last Sat
urday when DR.. Kemper came out and
looked at all of us which he does every
day. He thought it would be advisable
to remove "Wabbles" as be thought he
showed symptoms of the disease. In the
afternoon be sent out horse and buggy
and took him away and all felt sorry to
see him 60 for he was a good cook. There
are only SIX of us here, four boarders and
Frank and Charlie Zeman; their parents
thought they would be less exposed to
the disease here than at home. Mr.. Bolen
brings our dinner out from the city every
day and we have to cook our own break
fast and supper. We do not want to
praise, ourselves but we have very good
meals. Ii anybody could come in and look
through our pantry they would undoubt-
edly have to say those boys Will not
starVe. We are very comfortable here
and have good bed to sleep on. We all
feel thankful for the reading matter and
the cakes that were sent out to US. If no
more small pox breaks out among us we
will be free on the 2Sth of this month
We are all anxiously waiting for that
