PLEASED WITH BUrTERwoRrH.
Patent Attorneys Everywhere De-
lighted With the Appointment.

Patent Attorneys Everywhere De-
lighted With the Appointment.
John Wedderburn, patent lawyer OF
this city. was in Philadelphia last night.
Mr. Wedderhurn, when seen by a reporter
expressed great salts faction over the
nomination OF Benjamin Butterworth as
Commissioner of Patents He said:
The nomination OF Gen. Butterworth
as Commissioner OF Patents will be good
news to the patent attorneys and inventors
throughout the country. l am somewhat
surprised, however, that it has been made,
because had felt that Gen. ButterworthS
long services to the Republican party en-
titled him to a more important Office
He has already horne the burden and the
heat of the day and it seemed to me the
President would have done credit to him
self had he appointed Gen. BntterWorth
to comfortable foreign mission, or made
him United States Solicitor General. The
latter position is one for which Gen. hut
terworth is eminently qualified and L
have understood that his friends have
suggested to the President that he would
like it.
From my own standpoint, am de-
lighted with the appointment IL Is
splendid thing for patent attorneys, espe-
ciaIly those living In Washington ana
doing business exclusively in the Capital
City, to have a Washington man chosen
as Commissioner. feel that l can call
Gen. Butterworth a washington man, be-
cause he has been among us so long IN
prominent official positions that his IN
terests have become identified with our
city AS a Washington man ne mas
wide acquaintance among the patent at
torneys, all of whom will feel that In Gen.
Butterworth they have a cordial friend,
who has many interests in common win
them.
II think / share with many Washington
attorneys a feeling of satisfaction that no
outside man has been appointed. Itwould
have been unfortunate TO have placed the
great patent office in the charge of an at
torney wto was not in close touch with
the profession in Washington, where the
| abiest and most reliable patent solicitors
all have their headquarters.
Il think we are all TO be congratulated
| also upon the fact that Gen ButterWorUn
has already served term as Commissioner
| of Patents The record he made While In
office served as a model for all MS success
| sors. When he entered upon the duties OF
| his office he determinedItO famiiiarize him
| self with every branch os the work, and not
| leave the management of the bureau TO his
subordinates, as some of his predecessors
| had done. With the splendid executive abil-
| ity which Gen. Butter worth has shown
under all circumstances, he reorganlzed
| the office on business basis. and In a
| short time work in arrears was brought up
! to date and an air Of energy pervaded the
entire bureau. Gen. Butter worth viii find,
upon going back to- his old office, that he
has some w whatliglfter sas before himthan
| when he first entered 1t as Commissioner.
Many of the ideas which he originated have
been carried into effect by Commissioner
Seymour, and the office today is in an
| excellent condition.

1T CAN'T BE DONE.
No One Can Remain Well, No Chronic
Disease Can Be Cured Unless the
Stomach Is First Made
Strong and Vigorous.

This is plain because every organ ia the
body depends ON the stomach for its nour-
ishment Nerve, bone, sinew. blood, are
made from the food which the stomach
converts to our use.
How useless to treat disease with this,
that aud the other remedy, and neglect
the most important OF all, the stomach.
The earliest symptoms of indigestion
are sour Tisings, had taste in the mouth,
gas n stomach and bowels, palpitation, all
gone feeling, faintness. headaches, consti-
nation: later comes loss OF flesh, Consump-
tioa liver and heart troubles. kidney dis
eases nervous prostTatiOn, all of which
are the indirect result of poor nutrition
ANY person suffering from indigestion

JUST ANOTHER CANARD.
No Cipher Code Used in Correspond
ence With Gen. Lee.

A report In circulation that Spanish off
cials have discovered the key TO the state
Department cipher code, enabling them
to become familiar with all telegraphic
messages between Consul General Lee and
the department, is Invested of any inn
portance by the weil-known fact that
Gen Lees teleeraphit correspondence with
the State Department is sent in plain
English and there is no occasion to use
the code.
Some time ago a resort to secret mes
sages was necessary in a few instances,
but, as il is well known TO those familiar
with codes, it is utterly impossible for
anyone having deciphered a portion OF
one message to apply that information
to another of later date.
The State Department. cipher is used TO
save tolls to such distant points as Peking,
China, or Lima, Peru, and for important
dispatches TO diplorfiatie officers abroad.
but the character ofits Dnmerous communi-
cations with It's represent ative in Havana
makes the use of the code almost wholly
supeTflUous.

MADGE FISHER NOT HELD
Judge Miller Decides to Send Her
to Her Mother.
incidentally He Refers to the made
quacy of Girls Reform School
Accommodations.

The Madge Fisher imoroglio, with all
its variations, was brought to close in
Judge Miller's police court at noon today,
when the vagranCy charge against her was
dismissed and her personal bonds accepted
in the incouigibility case TO appear for
sentence. This action was taken by Judge
Miller as preliminary to sending the girl
to New York, to be taken in charge there
by her mother and a parish priest, who
has volunteered TO attempt Madge's refor-
nation. The prisoner, pale after her con-
finement in Jail, appeared in court with
her counsel, Albert Sillers.
The finale OF this famous case was not
without its sensational side Lawyer Sill
lcrs arose and declared that he wanted 1t
to go on record that the police had told
falsehoods concerning his connection with
the case.
Judge Miller said the reason he did not
send Madge to the Girls Reform School,
as he had at first intended to, was due
to several reasons He did not think it
would be good policy to send young
woman like the prisoner, who, according
to her own ackno wledginent, had been
an inmate of several bagnios, TO that in
stitution TO mingle with smaller girls
who are as yet innocent.
unfortunately" said his honor, ''some
of our girls are so stepped in vice and
lepravity that they pass beyond the avail
ability of the reform school.
He added that there is room for only
twenty y-seven inmates in the girls re-
formatory sand there is no way OF separat-
ing such as Madge Fisher from uncon-
tanlina ated girls, who have been sent there
to prevent them from entering the life
that Madge has led for some time.
1t is better" continued bis honor, ito
keep the female reform school for the
younger girls who have not gone so far.
say with regret we have not an institution
large enough for the needs of the District.
Madge Fisher is a bright, smart girl and
in such an institution would he able to
do a great deal of harm among the little
ones
Referring to the unlawful houses in the
| Division his honor said they were a
disgrace, and should not be tolerated
The fact that such a girl as Madge Fisher
could find refuge in several of them
was enough to have them broken up.
Calling Madge to the stand, Judge Miller
said, 1mpresslyely;
Girl, you have an experience in the
so-caIled pleasures and evils of such a
| life as you have led. There is nothing in
| it but misery and death. l am going to
send you home to your mother in New
York parish priest has written me that
! he will look after you and assist in your
reformation with your mother Stay al
| home and try to redeem yourself"
Judge Miller then dictated letter to
| the priest and Mrs. McGinn, Madge s
| mother. They were mailed this after
noon Madge will be kept in charge oi
| the matron at Lieut.. Kelly's station until
| tomorrow. when Sanitary Officer Frank
will send her to New York. In the mean
| time Mrs. McGinn and the priest will have
received his honor's letter, and will be
| at the depot to meet the girl.

THE BERMUDA FIRED upon
Alleged Filibustep Chased by Her
Majesty's Cruiser Partridge. !

tive Escaped.

Nassau, N. P, April 2.-The British
cruiser Partridge, Van Ingen, command der,
Sunday morning, while about seven miles
off WatIlngs Island. sighted a steamer close
under the land The officials aboard the
cruiser, thin king 1t to be one OF the
Boston fIuit boats from the West Indies,
paid but little attention TO her until a close
scrutiny of the steamer revealed the fact
that she tailed very closely with the de-
scription Of the famous steamer Ber-
N uda.
The cruiser signaled twice for the steamer
to show her ooiors, tut tile latter, instead of
doing SO, steamed away, with the cruiser
In pursuit. The guns of the Partridge
Were turned on the steamer, but as the
cruiser is slow goeT, she never got
within range, and after short chase the
Bermuda got out OF sight.
Several shots were fired. and two shells
exploded near her, but she refused to stop
and escaped. The Partridge returned TO
Watlings Island to look after schooner
which was in company with the steamer
when first sighted, but nothing was seen
OF her, although the cruiser made circuit
OF the island twice.

But LITTLE HOPE FOR RIVERA.
VIII Probably Be Shot Tomorrow
Unless the Queen Interferes.

wilI Probably Be Shot Tomorrow
Unless the Queen Interferes.
New York, April "a dispatch to the
Sun from Havana saws: Gen. Ruis Rivera
will probably be shot on Saturday if the
queen regent does not interfere by cable
in his behalf 1t is said that today the
court-martial will meet to pass Judgment
upon him, in case Gen. Weyler receives
favorable answer from Madrid to a dis
patch he sent to the government, say ying
that he thinks it necessary to show great
energy in this case.
Ruis Rivera, accordingto the regulations,
will be placed for twentyfour hours en-
caplIa. That is to say, after he has been
informed of the sentence of condemnation,
he win spend a day in q dungeon with
priest as a companion.
The report is generally believed in Ha-
vana that Gen Rivera was betra we'd into
the hands of the Spaniards. 1t is said
that the commissioners, sent to him about
a month ago by the Spanish government to
propose the acceptance OF Canoyas' re
forms, during the three days which they
remained at Rivera's camp, secretly ar
ranged with a spy to inform the Spaniards
Of all the movements OF the Cuban leader

SAYS CUBA Is PACIFIED.
Senor Canovas' Declaration 10 the
Press Finds Few Believers.

New York, April "A dispatch to the
Sun from Havana says Senior CanoVas
has made this declaration to the press OF
Spain: I'VE may consider the revolution
conquered in Cuba. We may say that
only small bands of in nsurgents are left in
the six provinces OF the island The
same thing happened in Spain when the
Carlists were yanquished, but their leader,
Cabrera. maintained small bands of his
men during three years after the peace
of Vergara Was made
These words OF Senor Canovas have been
approved only by the conservatives. All
the other parties in Spain reject with
scorn the affirmation that the revolution
in Cuba has been conquered, and consider,
on the contrary, that the situation in the
island is as grave as ever.
After the capture of Ruiz Rivera the
SPANISH press here which favors the
government proclaimed that the Cuban
hrigadier. Miro, is dead; that the Cuban
colonel. Bermudez, is wounded, and that
nearly all the insurgents in Pinar del Rio
are ready to surrender.

MARRIED MANY FOR Cash
Mrs. Ganzfried Wooed Eleven Hus-
bands to Get Their Money.
She Then Found 1t Easy to Get Rid
Of Them and Seek for Pas
lures New.

New York, April 2.-The application OF
Moritz Ganzfried for an injunction re-
straining a savings institution from pay
ing out money TO his wife, Elkah, has
brought 10 light remarkable story of a
woman's wiles and matrimonial ventures.
Ganzfried asserts that he is one OF at
least eleven victims who have been deceived,
betrayed aud wronged by woman who
has taken advantage of their trusting ma
lures and married them, one q fter the other.
for the mhallowed purpose of obtaining
what money they happened to have. Hav-
ing once ensnared her victims in the tolls
of matrimony. he says, she persuaded them
to intrust their savings to her keeping, and
then ruthlessly deserted them.
1t was stated to the court that in No

EIkab Schwartz, who claimed to be
widow. About four months after marriage
she induced him to draw out $3.50 he had
in a bank under the pretext that they

the venture and he placed the money in
his trunk for safe keeping. The money
soon afterward disappeared. together with
deeds to two lots IN Westcbester county,
worth $500. Afterward, the lawyers al
Iege Mrs. Ganzfried acknowledged that she
had taken the money and the deeds and
deposited them in the bank for safe keep

what they had heard of her marital ex-
periences they estimated that their de

In proof at least Of portion Of this
claim, Samue Pariser, a laundry man,
was introduced as husband No. g. He

1895. PraiseT, however, had not s0f-

when the widow found this out she straight

veIoped later. PariseT says there is one
living in Cleveland, Ohio. He thinks there

Smith felled to the ground. At this
time Deputy Sheriff Harry Basil arrived,

Peru Must Pay Up.

The administration has determined tina,
Peru shall pay a claim for $500, 900 growing
out of the outrage committed in 1885 upon
v. II. McCord, a consul of the United
States. A cable dispatch has been sent to
Mr.. Mckenzie, United States minister

the Peruvian government that the case

The cruiser Philadelphia is now on its

STATE OF NEBRASKA
NEWS OF THE WEEK IN A CON-
DENSED FORM.
Retiring State Treasurer Required
to Furnish all the State Funds in
Cessor. in Office.
Nebraska

The state treasurer Of Nebraska is a very
busy man at present. He is receiving the
SO, 900 900 from the retiring treasurer. The
larger part of this is in cash in the city of
Lincoln, out several hundred thousand
dollars is scattered around among the state
banks according to the state depository
law. The law of the state requires that
incoming treasurers shall receive the
money Of the state from the retiring Off
cial. In the past it has always been held
sufficient to turn over evidences OF
cash, such as certificates of deposit.
This year it seems that the treas
ure thinks the letter of the law
calls for the actual cash and it will
be called in for settlement and then re-
turned to the state banks. This innova-
ton is not due to any unusual condition,
but merely a different Interpretation of the
law. All the banks are ready to respond
with the actual cash. No trouble ever
grew out of the old rule except in the case
of the Capital National Bank of Lincoln
Treasurer Hill received certificates of de-
post from his predecessor amounting to
100000. This was in 1891. The bank
failed. When retiring from office he in
sisted on his successor receiving the depos-
its and so much cash. Suit followed and
neither Hill nor his bondsmen have ever
been forced to pay the.mOney, though the
real issue was avoided by %quibbling. Ne
braska state finances are in excellent con-
dit1on at present.
