PORT IN ROBBINss FAVOR.
Washington March 9.--It is expected that the
contested election OF W. F. Aldrich (Repub-
llcan) against CASTOR A. Robbins (Democrat. Of
the IVtn District Of Alabama. will be taken up
and onsdered IN the House OF Representatives
Wednesday The Views o. the minority OF Elections
Committee No. l. which tried the case. were laid
before the members OF the House to-day In printed
form. The members OF the minority are Messrs.
Dlnsmore (Ark). Bartlett ((ia) and Turner Va-)-al
Democrats. The document submitted by them 10
defence of the title of the sitting member shows
that despite the strength of the partisan bias which
generally controls the action OF Southern Democratic
Representatives where the title 10 seat In the
House occupied by Southern Democrat is attacked
by "A Republican. they were in sore straits to make
even n plausible plea in behalf OF Mr.. Robbins.

OF $50 for Robbins-3l less than that given to him
by the official returns.
There was no better ground, so far as the testi-
mony in the case discloses for accepting the re-
turns from the three precincts referred to than
there for accepting the returns from other con-
tested precincts, and the members OF the minority
will find themselves upon exceedingly DOGGY and
safe ground when they attempt to explain and de-
fend their action. According to the most liberal
claim that can be made the record as It stands
not than twenty votes should be counted for
Robbins In the three precincts. whereas the minority
allow him TIC votes

Pixies on Patents.
How to get $IOO and Perhaps
Make a Fortune.

We secure patents and to induce people to
keep track of their bright ideas we offer
nrize of one hundred dollars to be paid on
the first of every month to the person who
submits to US the most meritorious invention
during the preceding month. We will also
advertise the invention free of charge in the
National Recorders weekly newspaper, pub
lished in Washington, d. c., which has an
extensive circulation throughout the United
States ana is devoted to the interests of in.
ventors.
Nor so HARD AS 1T SEEMS.
The idea of being able to invent something
trkes most people as being very difficult
this deuson the Company wishes to dispel.
1t is the simple things and small inventions
that make the greatest amount OF moncy,and
the complex ones are seldom profitable. AL
most everybody, at some time or another,
conceiyes an idea, which, if patented, would
probably be worth to HIM fortune. Untor,
tunately such ideas are usually dismissed
without thought. The simple invention like
the car window which could be easily slid up
and down without breaking the passengers
back, the sauce pan, the collar button, the
nut lock, the bottle stopper, the snow shovel
are things that almost everyone sees some
way of improving upon, and it is these kind
of inventions that bring the greatest returns
to the author.
The prize we offer at the end ofcach month
will be paid, whether the application has
been acted upon by the Patent Office or note
Every competitor must apply for n patent on
his invention through us, and whether he Sc
cures the prize or not, the inventor will haV
q valuable patent,

may be judged from the fact that its stock is
