AS the name Joseph Melhart appearing ii

liar, Judging from the inquiries, l will say
for the benefit of the crew, that he is more
commonly called Bismark the secoud. 1t i:
: also reported that VERNE Burgess has beer
infringing on one of Mr.. Melhart's patents
making one of his wooden springs and using
it on his machine. Be careful VERNE as the
law is very severe in such cases.
Last Saturday the writer heard a'queel
noise in the room where Mr.. Griffin works
and as he is known to be snare drummer
the first thought was that he was practicine
to play at the Inauguration ceremonies o
President Mckinley. But as / listened I
moment changed my mind and came to tht
. conclusion that it sounded more as if he wa
intending to play at the funeral OF the Free
Silver party on the fourth of March. Any
. one in need of snare drummer would de
well to see O.. Y. Griffin, the short painter.
