SHE WANTS A HUSBAND.
Jerry Simpsons Clerk Ran Away From

Jerry Simpsons Clerk Ran Away From
Widow Marshall.
Washington, September 16.-Mrs.
Tillie Marshall, buxom, busting bru-
nette from the Pacific slope, 80 years
old, with $4,000 to her credit, is in
Washington on a peculiar mission: she
is hunting a husband. AS the man
she came here to meet cannot be found
she considers a bird in the hand worth
two in the bush and is willing to take
up another.
Mrs. Marshall was introduced in San
Francisco year ago to a man who
gave his name Gs L. o. Oliver, of
Washington. They made eyes at each
other in true lovers fashion, and. when
it came time for him to return to the
East they agreed to correspond. Pho
tographs were exchanged and then
VOWS of undying love were registered
by each other and thrown into the
mails. At length Oliver requested his
sweetheart to cross the continent that
they might be married in Washington
on her arrival
Last Thursday the blushing widow
arrived in the city, and though disap-
pointed because Oliver did not meet
her at the station, she concluded he
must be busy and went to the hotel to
await his coming at a more convenient
time. She waited in vain Calling a
reporter to her aid, she took a pho
tograph of her lover to the offices of
the Geological Survey The photo
graph was recognized as that of |. J..
Martell, who during sessions of Con-
gress is clerk of Representative Jerry
Simpson, Of Kansas, and during the
dull season Is a messenger in the sur
vey. But Martell was not to be found.
and it was alleged that he had gone
to Kansas to see a sick aunt.
Widow Marshall is not wasting away
In grief. She is as buxom and cheer
ful as the day before she made the dis
covery that her Oliver was a gay de-
ceiver, and moreover she is lust as
willing to marry the first good-looking
young man who happens to turn up.
as she was to divide her fortune with
the clerk OF "Sockless Jerry"

PATENTS AND COPYRIGHTS.
This Country Will Ask Further Privilege
for American Inventors In Foreign Ma

This Country Will Ask Further PrivlIegsA
for American Inventors In Foreign Ma
tions
Washington, September 16.-Com-
missioner Butterworth and Assistant
Commissioner Greeley, of the patent
Office, are engaged in putting in shape
amendments to be offered to the treaty
existing among the leading nations OF
the world for the protection of indus
trial property. A meeting of the rep
resentatives Of these nations has been
called to convene in Brussels next De-
cember, and it is the purpose of this
country to secure, if possible, certain
notifications Of the present agreement.
The convention was entered upon for
the purpose of protecting patents, trade
marks, and other similar interests.
Article of the treaty is one which
this country will seek to have changed.
AS the article stands 1t provides that
the citizens of each of the contracting
States shall enjoy in all the other
States the same advantages that are
given to the citizens of those States
1t has been found that this provision
works hardship upon our patentees
taking out patents abroad entirely
out of proportion to the tax upon for
eigners taking out patents in this
country. In some countries to be-
come the owner of patent right costs
an American as well as a citizen from
$500 to $500, while the uniform rate
in this country is s35. The effort will
be to amend the treaty making our
rates to them equal to their to us.
There will also be an effort to re-
strict the articles which are patentable
IN this country so that the subject of
another country cannot patent an ar
ticle in the United States which he
cannot secure patent in his own
country. This modification has been
suggested by the attitude of Germany.
In that country patent may be OBJ
tanned for chemical process, but not
on the product 1t is claimed that this
results very disastrously to our inter-
ests, enabling German manufacturers
in some instances to control our mar
kets.
An amendment will also be suggest
ed on behalf of this country to article
4, so as to define more clearly the right
OF priority, and put inventors of this
country on the same footing as those
of other countries where patents are
granted, without the preliminary ex-
animation, which our laws require.

TIE Use OF SILVER.
Tie Bank of England Has Not Been
Buying the White Metal.
All It Has Done is to Agree, Under
Certain Conditions, to Hold in
Silver One-Fifth Of the Bullion
Held Against It's Note Issue.

London, September 16.-At the semi
annual meeting of the Bank of Eng
land directors this morning the govern
or, George Sandman, said:
"You are probably aware Of the pro-
posals laid before the government in
the summer by the United States and
France, whereby this country might
increase it's use of silver as a contribu-
ton to an International agreement,
which, not affecting our gold standard,
might enable the minis Of France and
America to resume free coinage.
Among the proposals was one asking
the bank to hold the amount of silver
permissible under the act of 1874 as
against it's notes."
The governor then read a letter,
dated July 20, addressed to the chan
cellor of the exchequer, Sir Michael
Hicks-Beach. 1t was as follows:
Referring to our conversation, we
beg to say the bank is prepared to
Missile in the bank charter, namely:
to held one-fifth of the bullion held
against it's note issue in silver, pro-
vided always that the French mint is
again open to the free coinage of sill
yer, and the price at which silver is
procurable and sa!able is satisfactory"
Replying to the questions, the gov
ernor said the bank had no negotia-
tons with the United States monetary
commissioners, adding: "We have
bought no silver. All we have done
is to agree, under certain circun~
stances, to carry out what is permissible
under the act Of 1874"
Berlin, September 16.-The National
Zeitung, referring to the intimation in
the Times of September II that the
Bank Of England was prepared to hold
in silver one-fifth Of the bullion held
against it's note issue, says: 1.-THE I'M
favorable reception the announcement
has met with from all the organs of
British trade leaves no room for doubt
as to the opinion of the British COM
nlercial bodies and as to the ultimate
fate Of the latest American attempt to
secure for the silver mine owners, with
the aid of Europe rise in silver as
a reward for their support OF the Nc
Kinley tariff policy and to keep the
silverites in good humor."

place to give them some pointers, but
he failed to show up and then they
went after him. After long search
