reading aloud extracts from the Bible. She
told the matron that she was coming TO
New York to attend the Dewey celebration
She also said she had thought to commit
suicide in Boston, but had changed her
mind. because she could kill herself better
in New York, as they did not think so much
of suicide in this city.
She was taken ito the Hudson Street Hos
pital, where q surgeon said she was suffer
ing from mental arrangement, due. prob
ably to grief and worry. Magistrate Hogan
in the Centre Street police court induced
the woman to tell her name, which she had
steadily refused to give. She said she was
Helen Flanders and that she resided in
Boston. She objected 10 giving her street
address there Magistrate Hogan thought
herself and instructed a policeman to es-
cort her to an Institution conducted by the
Young Women's Christian Association. A
bottle of laudanum was found in the wo-
mans possession. This she allowed the po-
lice to keep, saying she had changed her

PATENT OFFICE RUSHED
Busiest Summer in the History Of
the Institution.
The Weekly Issues Have Averaged
Nearly 50O-SpecihcatiOn Branch of
the Public Printery Unusually Ac-
tiye-The Efforts of Mechanical
Geniuses Show No DiminutiOn.

The Patent Office business has been
heavier for the three months ended August
81 than for any summer in the history of
the office. The officials say that the week
ly issues OF patents have averaged nearly
500-a great excess over the issues of last
summer, when the war with Spain seemed
to somewhat disturb the genius Of inven-
tors for perfecting and turning out work.
To large extent their attentions were di-
rected toward the inventions of guns and
other devices for the army and navy, and
the applications for patents of this nature
were unusually large. There are fashions
in inventions as well as in other things,
and this year rubber tires and gaseous fuel
apparatus seem to have the call in the
minds of inventors.
The activity in the Patent Office is not
only sign of activity in the mechanical
work, but it supplies work which affords
employment to large number of people
in the District not directly connected with
the Patent Office, such at patent attorneys,
their clerks, stenographers and typewrit-
ers. draughtsmen and model makers.
An Indication of the greater output o,
the inventors and the Patent Office is
given in a recent report from the specif-
cation branch of the Government Printin :
Office All the work of this branch. which
is located in the Union Building on G
Street, is supplied by the Patent Office.
The report says: This has been the
busiest summer in the history Of this
branch. A very large force has been en-
ployed all summer. an average OF 2GO type
settlers being on the rolls, and there being
at present 212 compositors on the list In
addition, there is a large force o. proof
readers, copyholders, make-ups, stone
hands, and laborers. making total o, 1

About one-half of the floor space is occu-

Patent Office officials are not looking for
any diminution in applications from me-
chanical geniuses for the right to control
the manufacture of their devices. In fact,
the introduction of horseless vehicles and
other machines promises to encourage
many inventors to turn their attention 10
perfecting devices for attachments to these
products and as the bicycle opened up al
most unlimited field for the invention OF
necessary improvements and sundries, the
automobile is expected to follow suit.
The Patent Office promises to be buster
institution than ever before, for the num-
Der of ambitious inventors shows no sign
of becoming less, but rather evidences a
prospective increase.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-. Sept. 11-Tams
Bixby, of the Dawes Commission, who is

a great rush of white men to obtain Choc-
taw brides in the last few days, in conse-
quence of a ruling by the Commission that
intermarriages after September 10 would
not entitle intermarried whites to partici-
pate in the allotment. The price for a
Choctaw license for an intermarriage is
500. but the thrifty whites who wed Choc-
taws will receive $50 acres of land apiece
as dividends upon their investments 1t is
estimated that every one of the 10000 In
dams of that tribe will get that amount
of land also that impecunious whites have
no trouble in borrowing the price of mar
riage license by pledging their prospective
allotments.

WAS 1T SATISFACTORY?

Progressive Latter-day Saints" if
we understand our Republican contem-
porary's definition of the term, are
those who endorse what it says about
the church and it's leaders: those who
subscribe to its platform and support
its ticket
Three days ago the Republican organ
said that leading officials of the domi-
nant church in this state have broken
the faith and are trying to re-establish
the old rule to make the masses of the
people mere slaves politically to the
heads of an ecclesiastical organization,
the same as the men of Israel were in
the days of Solomon--they are trying
to again restore that rule
Two days ago it declared that no
Mormon majority was worthy of trust
because all members of that creed
will, if elected, be faithful slaves of
that same crowd of reactionists in all
business relating to the city govern
ment"
Since that News editorial was printed
we have seen no repetition of these ex-
pressions, which have filed the edi-
torial columns of our morning contem-
porary for several weeks
1t seems that the News editorial was
satisfactory.

TWILL WE DO lT?"

"wiIl we do it?" Will we remember
our vows to the world. our covenants
with civilization, our promises to the
Cubans, our obligations to the eman-
cipated colonists of Spain?
We went to war in the name of hui
mainly; we demanded of Spain to take
her mailed hand from the throat of
starving Cuba; but the circumstances
and the pledges should be kept in mind,
lest We forget lest we forget
I'VE have disavowed by a solemn
declaration of the peoples representa-
tives," said Governor Wells, in 1895,
ANY intention to exercise control over
and when that is accomplished we are
to leave the government and control of
the island to its people. Will We do it?
Then there will be Porto Rico. Condi-
tons there are very similar to those in
Cuba. The same burdensome taxation
without representation; the same disso-
lutte, thieving revenue collector; the
den despotism curses Porto Rico that
has cursed Cuba The only reason there
is no revolution there is because the
people are too timid and too weak to
make an uprising successful In honor
we are bound if we take Cuba to take
Porto Rico-if we free Cuba, to free
Porto Rico. Will we do it? Then
there are the Philippines. Surely if
Dewey could sink the Spanish fleet be-
fore breakfast we ought to be prepared
to hold the Philippines at any cost.
But when the war is over, the same
case of Cuba and Porto Rico, to pacify
the islands, to give them a stable gov
ernment-a government of themselves
appeal with equal force 10 the Philip
pines. Will we do it?"
The war referred TO by the governor
ended in August, 1898. The question he
asked was answered in the negative.
An assurance was given the Cubans;
none was asked or received by the
Porto -Ricans, and the Filipinos were
ignored. Then the trouble began in
February, 1899, after President McKin-
ley announced that he had purchased
the Filipinos from Spain at $3.50 per
head and proposed to enforce his title
TO their lands.
In view of this, other words of Gov
ernor Wells force themselves upon the
memory:

conquest and tran1ple upon the hall
