A PRACTICAL DEVICE.
Mrs. II. II. Spencer Its Inventor
New STYLE of WindoW.

Mrs. H. H. Spencer has invented and
secured a patent for a device which
promises TO be of great service to the
house bouilders of the world. 1t is a
window frame doing away with most
of the awkward features of the frame
now in use. A window constructed on
this plan can be cleaned outside and
inside without the use of a step ladder,
the outside being cleaned as easily as
the other, even if it be in a ten-story
building.
The principal advantage of the device
is that it has two sashes. an outer and
an inner sash. The outer sash is prac-
tically the same as is in common use,
and allows the use of weights to slide
it up and down. The inner sash fits
into the outer sash and holds the glass.
1t turns on a pivot, so that the outside
of the pane can be turned inside,
washed or busted and turned back. The
device is so constructed as TO work
without any complicated appliances.
The window can be opened by raising
the outer sash or by revolving the inner
sash on it's pivot. The inner sash is
held in place by a spring that faStens
it securel-r. and at the same time al
WAYS keeps the window water tight, if
not air tight. This spring is of service,
too, in keeping the window perfectly
closed, no matter how much the frame
may swell or shrink. Mrs Spencer has
made a thorough study of the matter
and has a model with each part con-
structed of the most suitable
material to give strength and lightness.
Sheet iron forms part of the outer
frame. which is so constructed with
reference to the inner frame as to pre-
vent the beating in of water under any
circumstances.
The device can be adjusted to any
window, door or screen of any size and
the windows of modern houses can be
cheaply remodeled and fitted with the
new device. Every piece of the new
window can be made by machinery.
Mrs. Spencer told The Herald yester-
day that she had long seen the neces-
sitv for such a labor-saving arrange
ment and the fact was particularly inn
pressed upon her at the house-cleaning
season last fall. In house contain
ing windows by the score as does that
of Mayor Spencer the washing OF VIM
dows was a great task. The idea of
the device appeared so simple that she
thought there must be patents extant
for it but after obtaining copies OF
every device for window frames in the
patent office she found nothing which
would allow the use of weights and
pivots. She soon had the model
ready, her brother. who has a
genius for mechanics, making it under
her direction. The patent was granted
as quickly as the routine of the patent
office would permit-in less than six
months.
The papers and model will not reach
Ogden from Washington for day or
two yet Whether she viii sell patent
rights for each state or have the win
1ows manufactured under her own
are business details which
Mrs. Spencer says she will leave to her
husband, Mayor Spencer, whose con-
nection with the Eccles Lumber COM
pany fits him TO deal with the matter
to the best advantage.

OFFICER IN JEOPARDY.
General Court Martial to Be Held at
Fort Sheridan. ApriI IS.

tCIC Snef1Qan. Apr1l 20.
Chicago, April General John r.
Brooke has issued an order converting
a general court martial at Fort Sheri-
dan, April %. The order is for a full
court of Is members, no member being
less in rank than a captain. and Lieu
tenant-COlonel Cloud, deputy judge adj
vocate general, is named as the judge
advocate of the court. The inference
is that a captain is to be tried.
Yes" said General Brooke, the
court has been ordered, and there is
an officer in jeopardy, but he may make
1t all right, and the order for the court
may be revoked. For this reason.
viii not divulge the name of the officer
to be tried. No member of the court
knows il and may never know it if
the matter is Strengthened OUT
While admitting nothing more, the
inference from General Brooke's talk
is that the officer in question has be-
come involved in debt which he may
liquidate before he is arraigned for
trial, or he may have duplicated his
pay account, which he will be allowed
TO straighten out, if he can, before
April %. The detail for the court ser
vice is as follows: Colonel Robert E
Hall. Fourth infantry; Lieutenant-Col-
onel Henry Carroll, Sixth cavalry; Ma
jor Gilbert Carpenter, Fourth infantry;
Major Eli L. Higgins, Sixth cavalry;
Captain John W. Bubb. Fourth infant
ry; CaDtain John B. Kerr. Sixth cav
airy; Captain Butler D. Price, Fourth
infantry; Captain John b. Rodman,
Twentieth infantry; Captain George S.
Grimes, Second artillery; Captain
Charles B. Hail. Nineteenth infantry;
Captain Robert P. Wainwright, First
cavalry; Lieutenant-Colon John W.
Clous. deputy judge advocate.
AS the majority of the court is from
Fort Leavenworth. the military infer
ence is that the officer in the difficulty
is from that post.

The Gun Inventor Puts Forth New
Weapon.

The Gun Inventor Puts Forth New
Weapon.
The dispatches yesterday announced
the granting Of a patent to j. NJ.
Browning of a new fire-arm. Such an
announcement is quite common, but in
this case the invention is of more than
ordinary interest. The inventor him
self is in Europe, having gone to Bel
GUM at the request of a great manu-
featuring concern in Belgium. whose
officers are interested in the man and
his inventions. He is also attending TO
the patenting of his latest invention in
European countries. The new firearm
is a pistol constructed on a new plan
altogether. II is a repeater, but not a
revolver. A slight pressure of the
finger on the trigger discharges the
weapon. which fires eight times con-
secutively. There is no cylinder and
consequently a bullet is thrown with
much greater force in proportion to the
amount of powder. In most revolvers
gas escaDes between the cylinder and
BARREL which simply means loss of
force. In this new pistol the bullets
come from the breech or rather from
a small magazine extending down
where the trigger plate is usually seen.
The loads are carried in little frames,
eight in each frame. When the eight
shots have been fired it is but the work
of an instant to throw out the used
frame and put a new one in. The weap-
on is much lighter and more adapted in
shape to the pocket than the ordinary
pistol. The arm is to be manufactured
in all countries on the royalty plan.
Incidentally it may be stated that as
Mr.. Browning passed through Hart
ford en- route TO Europe he stopped off
a day or two and sold the Winchester
company another patent on a magazine
gun. This time the consideration was
