A Possibility That the american
Countries May Accord Her BelIigerent
Rights.
NEW YORK. Oct. IA special to the
Herald from Washington says: There is
discussion in political circles here over
the possibility that Pan American
countries in the future act jointly in the
recognition of the belligerency Of Cuban
insurgents.
Pan American republics here have
been anxiously waiting to see what
Secretary Olney will do and the sugges-
ton has been made informally to the
department that it would be a good plan
for the United States aud all southern
and Central American countries to act
in concert in recognition of insurgents
or as to the independence of Cuba
whenever the proper time arrives.
1T is admitted by those concerned,
however, that the insurgents must make
greater Roadway before it will be en-
tirely safe foH the United States or the
other republics TO recognize them The
proposition for joint action is based
upon the possibility of insurgent victory
in engagements which are likely soon
to occur.

INVENTIONS BY WOMEN.
Every thing from Barrel Attachments to
Baby CarrIares

Every thing from Barrel Attachments to
Baby Carriages
The patent Office at Washington was
established in 1890, and the first patent
issued to a woman was in 1909, to Mary
Kies, for method VI weaving straw
with silk or thread Six years later
one was issued to Mary Brush for a
corset. It was not until 1928 that moro
than one patent a year was issued 10
women. In 1862 only fourteen patents
were issued to women, that being the
largest in any year up to that time.
The war, however, developed the in
ventive genius OF women and the an
nual number of patents issued to them
increased rapidly. Many of them were
fer inventions for either fighting or
nursing devices. The annual issue in
creased steadily year by year. IN 1870
it was SO, in 1880 over 90, in 1890 over
200, and in 1898 over 800. From 1869
to 1883 women's inventions averaged
80 year, from 1888 to 1892, 230 a year,
and since 1892, $50 a year. A recently
published pamphlet gives a classified
ton Of womens inventions. This shows
