HE SOLVED THE PROBLEM.


Amerlc Ingenuity Comes to the Front
Again with AN Invention that Has Long
Been Needed,
New YORK, Sept. ga bottle which
cannot be filled after it has been emp
tied, has just been invented and prom
ises to be of great Importance to the
entire bottling industry. The great
bottling houses have for years looked
in vain for such an invention, to render
it impossible for swindlers to refill
their bottles with fraudulent prepara-
tions, a practice which has become a
lucrative business Empty bottles,
branded with the names of popular
drugs, liquors, bitters and chemicals
have been filed with cheap and worth
less substitutes and the original manu-
facturers have suffered in consequence.
Three years ago q large prize was
offered in England for an inven tiou
which would successfully overcome
this kind of fraud and hundreds OF at
tempts in consequence have been made,
but until now without success. 1t has
remained for an American TO fill the
emergency and prevent the refilling Of
bottles. He Is Joshua Van Name, Of
Staten Island, and the principal
feature of his new bottle is a peculiarly
constructed valve, which works on q
substantially new principle. 1t is at
tho end Of sinuously constructed
passage and works automatically. The
moment an attempt Is made to force
any liquid into the bottle the valve
instantly closes. A point of Importance
is the extreme simplicity of the device

TAMMANY's WRATH.

It is Said to HAVo ReGa Aroused by Let
ter to the Catholic Clergy Of the Ma
tion,
New YORK, Sept. 29.-The following
letter addressed to the Catholic clergy
of the United States by, it is said, the
Mckinley and Hobart Business Mems
National Campaign Committee, was
given out yesterday at Tammany Hall:
PHILADELPHIA, Sept 49, 1895
Reverend and Dear Strive are well aware
that the dignity of your sacred oftice forbids
the exercise of your influence on any political
matter involving mere questions OF executive
or legislative policy Nevertheless we are fully
persuaded that the questions before tho coun-
try In the pending presidential campaign are
of an especially serious character because
they involve fundamental moral issues de-
clsiou in the selection OF president that will
commit the executive to policy that in Its
application will forcibly compromise private
financial obligations and will repudiate por-
tion OF the national debt will be violation OF
the basic Christian principle that commands
honesty between man and man. Such decls-
ion, we believe, would be thoroughly immoral
and would precipitate an ethical and material
calamity OF incalculablc magnitude
We nre also Of the opinion that the attack
now being made upon the regularly constituted
legal authorities OF the national government Is
perncous and dangerous TO an extreme de-
gree for it contains rebellion against those
safeguards OF law upon which society, the in
dividual and the several states OF the nation
must depend for security and protection, II
successful the vital principles OF our govern
ment will be undermined. Recalling with
gratitude the patriotism and eminent public
services Of the late Most Rev. Archbishop
Hughes and many others Of the Roman Catho-
lie clergy when the integrity Of our govern
ment was threatened on former OCCASION we
take the liberty TO suggest that the present Is
period of equal danger
The government Is not threatened by physi-
cal force, but insidious and false ideas that
inspire incipient anarchy and contempt for au-
thority are industriously propagated through
out our country. 1t is not our purpose to argue
the foregoing suggestions. We merely desire
to respectfully express the opinion that the
political issues involve vitRl moral questions
that powerfully appeal to the religious instruc-
tors Of the people. We have no personal po-
litical interests to serve being private citizens
associated for patriotic purposes.
Very respectfully,
ROBERT c. OGDEN, chairman publication
committee.
The Tammany chieftans are very
much incensed at this appeal to the
Catholic clergy to support Mckinley
and Hobart, which they think will
proye q boomerang,

CLEVELAND, Sept. 20.--The Clewe-

closed down, throwing 1900 men out
of work. Only enough men have been
retained to keep the machinery in run

Monday that the mills will probably
be reopened after election. A large

SO that few have anything saved to
maintain themselves upon and the
prospects are good that hundreds OF

1t is estimated at headquarters
that the Washington delegation
