TIE INK is FADING AWAY.

In These Degenerate Days legal pocu-
ments Arc Not Written to List Long.
Some of the earlier niucty-n;nc-
year leases made in this city were writ
ten in inks that arc in great dancer of,
fading out long before the lease ex-
pir>s, said Il microscopic and expert

on the market but will fade scr;o:~ly
in thirty years. My business reg: res
me to be informed, and I pjir.,.ase
GarnIIc3 Of every ink l hear Of and ..,lb-
init them, to microscopic and chcr,:eal
examination. l base what have said
on the results reached in those exam
inations. The inks made thirty or forty
years ago were not so good as those
of the preceding three centuries, Cor
many documents written in the latte;
are cXtant, the lines in which are clear
and bright. The inks of the present
day arc poorer than those of q genera
tion back, because in this age of adul-
tcration nothing escapes the adultcr-
ator. The same ingredients are used,
but in Il weakened form Iron and
aniline dyes are the basis of most inks.
Where iron is used, time produces IL
process of corrosion and oxidation
gradually fades to pale brown. The
lockwood disappears. If documents
written in these inks are kept in vaults
where ventilation is bad, certain
gases that are developed by the condi-
lions act directly on the inks and
hasten their disappearance. If in the
middle of the next century future
biographer wants to examine the cor
respondcncc of anyone living to-day, it
isn't unlikely he will find in it pieces OF
paper that once was covered with writ
ing which has passed away, leaving
only pale faint lines. AS to leases,
probably there is some understanding
of these facts, for instruments that
have long time to run are how

There are various things that con-

end was developed at the farewell re-
ceptiOn given by Representative White,

dent that the attendance was to be I'M

three people in Washington occupying
high official positions who bore the
name of White and recipients of the
cards had gotten the names very much
mixed. Some, hastily glancing at

COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER.
The British Hold Corinto.

MANAGUA, Nicaragua, via Calves
tom, April 29.-The commander of
the Nicaraguan troops on the main
land of Nicaragua reported this morn
ing that the British flag was still
floating over the public buildings at
Corinto and the port remained i'll pos
session of the British warships.
Among the Nicaraguan troops and
the populace the greatest excitement
'prevails, and the feeling against
Great Britain is increasing every
hour. The Nicaraguan troops are
still massed along Passo Caballo, and
it is believed they may open fire on
the British should the latter make
any attempt to cross the Corinto to
the mainland.
Steps have been taken to destroy
the means of communication with the
interior should action be found neces-
sary by the British. The British
consulate III this city remains under
guard, in view of riotmg and stone
throwing which has already occurred,
and in the anticipation OF further
trouble.
Some of the European consuls are
using their good Offices with the gov
eminent to persuade it to submit to
Great Britain, pleading in support of
their arguments the fact that the
United States has determined to re-
main neutral and Nicaragua is help
less when opposed by such a power as
Great Britain.
Although the Nicaraguan forces OPP
posite COrinto are in communication
with the capital. actual telegraphic
communication with Eorinto remains
interrupted, and it is thought likely
that there will be no attempt to re-
pair the telegraph lines as long as the
British remain in possession OF the
port.
In spite Of reports to the contrary.
the people of Nicaragua generally
sustain the government i'll the stand
it has taken against Great Britain,
and, though in all probability Nicar.
aqua may eventually be compelled TO
pay the indemnity demanded, it is
believed the trade of Great Britain
with Nicaragua and other Central
American republics will suffer. In
consequence of the action OF the Brit
ish fleet mt COrinto the British gov
ernor in command at Corinto has
charge OF the custom house, but as the
Nicaraguan government has declared
the port closed, it is difficult to sec
how ne will be able to collect customs
due there.
WASHINGTON, April 29.-It was
stated here to-day that Great Britain
will now probably require Nicaragua
to pay not only the original cash de-
mand, but all the expenses that Great
Britain is put to in occupying and
holding Corinto and the expenses of
other steps she will take.
Neither Minister Guzman nor Sec
rotary Gresham have received any
news from Nicaragua to-day.
