PATENT OFFICE ARLAzE.
Three Persons Were Injured by an Expl

Shree Persons Were Injured by an Expls-
 sion of Ether.
 WASHINGTON, April 2S.-The United States patent office was for the third time visited by fire. The scene of the blaze was in the southwest corner of tho basement in the photographic blue print room, close to crowded public thoroughfareL Mir. Flint. chief of this room, was pouring ether into five gallon jugs, when the liq- uid exploded, and running down the floor came in contact with the stove and ig- nited.
 Mir. Flint was caught in the flames and severely burned about tho face. arms and shoulders. He was removed to a drug store across the street, where his wounds were dressed, and he was then taken to the Emergency hospital.
 Watohman Parkins, who ran in to see what the trouble was, was also caught in the flames and received painful burns Miss Nevins. in charge of tho telephone lines in the building, whose office Is To- cated in tho adjoining room, was over como by smoke and fainted. but was car ried out uninjured by one of tho employ ees. The room was filled with chemicals and explosives. which burned flercely and emitted vast volumes of smoke. which caused nasty stampede of the numerous clerks employed in other portions of tho building.
 After half an hours hard work the fire men extinguished the flames before they could spread to the adjoining offices. The loss was about q, 500, principally in pho tographic apparatus. Most of tho original drawings were saved, and of those de- stroyed O good many can be replaced Along the halls in the vicinity were stored @ number of files which contained records of the office and other papers and @ great number of these were damaged by water.

 His great crowning feat of pedestrian ism was accomplished on Jan. ., lS20, when he walked GEO miles without break, the distance being covered in log hours and 70 minutes. This feat was witnessed by over 1000 spectators and took place on the road between DumbartOn and Glas- gow.

THE sudden rise in the price of petro leum during the past few days may be caused by an actuel decrease in the supply, but it is more probable to be some stock jobbing scheme of the Standard Oil com- pany. If it be true, however, that the Pennsylvania oil wells are approaching exhaustion the matter of a cheap illumi. nant to take its place will be an important question. The people of this country are progressive. They will not go back to the tallow dip.

CHARLES NJ. BETTS ward for military service by act of congress, approved July 12, 1862. The medal is a five point ed star tipped with trefoil. Each point contains crown of laurel and oak, and various stars and emblematic designs are on the body of the trophy. It is to the army of tho United States what the Victoria cross is in England. the cross of the Legion of Honor in France and the iron cross ill Germany. It is badge of personal heroism and is conferred ir- respective of rank.
 That great care is exercised in the award of the medal of honor is shown by the fact that up to 1891 but 500 out of the 2.11S, 304 patriotic men who vol unteered to defend tho Union had re- ceived the coveted decoration. As the records of the war department arc re- vised many men are found who arc en- titled to wear tho modal, but who have been overlooked, and from time to time some hero who performed deeds of valor over so yedrs ago receives "franked" package from the war department con- taining his long delayed medal of honor. Abroad the soldier who wears the Vic toAAN SA"SS OA tho SAosS O1 tHo LcSloH Ol Honor is conspicuous hero, but there is little lionizing in this country for the medal of honor wearer. The decoration is presented with no ceremony. and as a usual thing the existence of tho hcro's trophy is known only to his intimate friends.
 Lieutenant Colonel Betts, tho new commander of the Medal of Honor Le- zion, enlisted as private in Company E, Fifth Pennsylvania cavalry in 1869, and il 1865 was made lieutenant colo nel of tho regiment and placed in com mand. He received tho medal of honor for gallant conduct in charging and cap turing a South Carolina battalion of cavalry at Greensboro, N. C., April II, 1865.

A PLAY CENSOR.
The ,IRn Who Must Approve All Dramas
 For Production In England.

In this country, if q man writes play and can find a manager with sufficient capital to produce ii, the public hears it, whether it bc good ur bad. Sometimes this arran}cvmCnt iS a very desirable one, and again it iS not, for frequently so called mclodramas aro exploited which have nothing except SalaciOusncSS and low sen satiunalsm tO r,COmmcnd them.
 In England this k different. Tho author thcro must first fo'; tho approval of the play censor heforc he can think of protluc- ing his work. Very frequently that gen tlcnan wiihh"lds his consent, and the fruitiOn of th" writcrs ambition is thereby delayed sometimes for long period This was tho case with n play which Oscar Wilde wrote q few years ago. The censor snid that it was imI"oral, and Oscar was obliged to content hin.sclf with a proluc tion in Paris, with Sara Bernhartlt in the principal role.

LION AGAINST BULL.
Terrific Encounter In Which the Lion Cam.
 Out Second Best.


 Out Second Best.
 LAREDO. Tex, April 23.-Advices have just been received here from Monterey, Mexico, of furious fight in bull ring there between @ Mexican bull and an Af- rioan lion. Three thousand spectators were present. Both animals were badly disabled at the finish, but the bull had the better of it.
 For 45 minutes the lion held a grip with his powerful jaws upon tho neck, chest and face of the bull while being dragged around the ring and mercilessly stamped and bounced upon by his huge antagonist For over 20 minutes tho lion held its position on tho bulls jaw, lacer- ating it in an awful manner.
 The bull finally succeeded in breaking this hold and tossed the lion threo times in the air on his horns The lion was in sporting parlance, first to "holler enough. " He was injured internally and was barely able to drag himself to his cage. The bull was terribly torn about tho throat, nose and chest, but after the lion had retired proudly ran about the ring as victor.
