Assistant Chief Alexander Scott OF
tho division Of drafting of the Patent
Office has On interesting list of the
patents granted to women inventors of
the United States, compiled from 1870
to January /, 1895. Up to that period
there had been issued 531 ,6l8 patents
to all persons, the number of women
included being surprisingly large. The
articles on which tho patents have
been granted comprise everything in
the pntentable line, from curling iron
to O cooking stove, aud from war
vessel to handsaw. While many of
the patents are no objects of peculiar
interest to women, many of them are
ON scientific machines, objects of war
fare, miners utensils and things which
would DO only useful to the male por-
ton of humanity. OF course, the baby
has not been forgotten, and the articles
patented to make the mothers JOY"
moro comfortable and contonted form
department all to themselves. Col
lar buttons have been invented by
wives, mothers and sweethearts. Evil
IDENTITY this was done to ease the mas
culine mind or prevent the accustomed,
or, at least, accredited, profanity
which is supposed to flow when one of
the buttons becomes detached from a
garment and rolls somewhere out Of
reach or ''cannot possibly be found. !"
eve have found" said Mr. Scott to
tho Star reporter, "that the objects
patented by women are of just as prac-
ticablc nature as those gotten out by
the men. Very often it happens that
men invent On object which is of in
terest exclusively to womankind, as a
new style of hair tixer, but the reverse
is often the case. 1t frequently hap
pens that woman will suggest some
thing to her husband, or some male
member of the family, who acts upon
it, taking out the patent aud getting
credit for it, Of course, fully with the
consent OF the one suggesting the idea
ANY one who thinks that woman is
incapable of inventing anything really
useful is making great mistake, as {
look over the list OF the thousands o.
objects will testify. Some of the mos
important things in use nowaday'
have been invented by women an(
brought into general use by them"

Assassinations Follow Ono Another In
Swift Succession.
A special from Selma, Ala, says:
lawlessness runs rampant near Rich
mond, in the southern end of this
county. Several months since West
Ethridge rode up behind Allie Cole
man, wealthy farmer, and blew the
top of his head off with double-barrel
shot gun. He has managed to elude
arrest.
Later Barrett Duckworth, Coleman's
body servant, was hssassinated in his
house, and public opinion laid the
crime at Ethridge's hands.
A month ago Shelley Sumner, o
nephew of Ethridge, was killed by
Charles Nelson, a relative OF Duck
worth.
Last Wednesday night Frank Banks,
a cousin of Nelson, was shot down from
the darkness. while standing in the
door of his home.
All of the murders are thought TIC
have grown out of the Ethridge-Cole-
man killing. Not an arrest has so far
been made, although officers have
made repeated raids.

declare in every case coming before
me for decision the conclusion which
my deliberate convictions compelled
me to arrive at, by the conscientious
exercise of such abilities and require

DISPUTE OYER BOUNDARY.
Maryland and virginia Have Difhcuify
On Their Hands.

A Richmond dispatch says: Cover
nor Lowndes, of Maryland has inform
ed Governor O'Ferrall that in his
opinion it is necessary to have the
boundary line between Maryland and
Virginia in the Pocomoke sound and
river established and that he himself
will have the matter attended to.
The matter referred to has been re-
peatedly investigated by both the
states concerned and Virginia has al
ways taken the ground that the pres
eut boundary line is the one laid down
by the Black and Jenkins award. Four
years ago the legislature of both states
appointed special commissioners, who
went over the ground very carefully
and the Virginia committee afterward
reported in favor of retaining the ex-
listing boundary line,
The Maryland people declined to
accept this line.
