The official who can please every
body having business with his Office
hasn't been born yet, but United States
Commissioner Of Patents, Du.ll, comes
very near doing it, to judge by the talk
of those who practice before the Patent
Office. G. A.. Snow g. Co., Washinton's
leading firm Of patent lawyers, who
have been getting patents for twenty
FIVE years for clients in all parts of the
country-more than 10000 patents
have been secured by this firm say
that Commissioners Duell has so i'm
proved the working machinery of the
Office that applications fo- patents re-
ceive more intelligent consideration and
are more promptly acted upon than at
any time in their knowledge, patents
being granted in from four to ten weeks
from date of application. This will be
good news to the inventors, who have
in the past often had to worry over the
hardness of the Patent Office.

There are lS5 republicans in the next
House, which makes SO votes in the
Caucus necessary to nominate the next
Speaker. The friends of Representa-
tive Henderson claim that he is air eady
assured of the support of that many
members and that he is sure to be the
next Speaker, and disinterested obser-
vers regard the claim as valid. 1t has
been stated that the administration had
no choice between Col. Henderson, and
Mr.. Sherman, of N. Y, and that either
would be perfectly satisfactory to it as
Speaker. This was regarded as prac.
tical elimination of the other candi-
dates. 1t was so taken by Mr.. Hop
kins, of ILL.,, who withdrew in favor of
Col. Henderson. How Mr.. Payne, of
N. Y, intends taking it cannot be posi-.
lively SAID. although he passed through
Washington within the last forty eight
hours. The New Workers are to decide
this week, whether they are to support
Sherman or Payne, and as Payne has
gone on a pleasure trip to Alaska, he
considers himself out of it.
There is little interest in official Cir
cles over the sale to Germany of SPANS
possessions in the Pacific, for
S5,000000. Speaking Of the matter,
an official said: VT is not at all sur
prising. With its principal colonies
gone, Spain will be better off without
the little islands. We didn't want
hose islands, rive should have gotten
them along with the Philippines. This
government has no interest, whateve,
in who owns them, although we should
nave preferred that England take them.

MISTAKEN PoLICY-Tme was when this
and other towns in this section of the county
displayed some enterprise in the matter of
entertaining the public, but in recent years
the custom has wholly fallen into dlsuse and
no pretense is made of amusing the public.
1t has in this regard come to be case of
"all work and no play" we know what the
ancient aphorism declares what this will do
tor Jack" Now it is useless to dispute the
statement that in the matter of pleasure,
people, older and younger, are glad once in
while to be "boys' again: they enjoy "a day
off," and what is more, in way, are willing
TO pay for the privilege. To illustrate this
we call attention to the large concourse of
people that was drawn to our town on Sat-
urday afternoon last: there the motive was
to pay respect to Memorial Day and its sub
lime object there are other motives, wholly
laudable and entirely innocent, that lead our
people to set aside day, or q portion thereof,
for recreation and amusement and the oppor-
tunity should be afforded them. 1t may not
be considered very praiseworthy motive,
yet nearly every one OF us will consider it,
but 1t aoiR pay. You cannot fill your streets
with people and not realize any benefit
therefrom; you cannot advertise your town
in any more thorough and attractive fashion
than by agreeably entertaining your neigh
bors: you cannot impress people in any more
effective way than ill giving them pleasure,
in entertaining AID amusing them. What
then is in the way of having a modest yet
entertaining program for the afternoon and
evening of Tuesday, July 4th? limo more, a
parade of the Orders and Sunday Schools;
a game Of baseball; wheelbarrow match;
addresses and music in Town Hall and fire
works at night. There will be no moon and
for a very few dollars, very entertaining
pyrotechnic display may De had.

Mr.. Frank Wagaman, who carries the mail
from Lantz, via Euclid and Foxyille, to
Garfield, found on Thursday last, just beyond
Foxville, a pocketbook containing between
$50 and $50. He was not long, however, in
finding the owner, for upon entering the
Garfield postoflice and inquiring If anybody
had lost anything, Mr.. w. F. McCarty, who
is operating copper mine near Blue Ridge
Summit, and who had stopped in to post
some mail, not having yet missed the money
dived down into his pockets and quickly
announced that he had lost his pocketbook
with $50 or $50. He gave Mr. Wagaman a
crisp one dollar bill for his honesty.
