1t is said that more patents were
granted to West Virginians in 1898
than in any one year in the past de-
cade. All were useful devices and
their originality was creditable to
the states brains; and, as many of
them were for marking lumber and
other things characteristic of the
states chief resources, which include
timber, coal, oil and gas, the old
adage that necessity is the mother
of invention was strikingly exem-
plified. Proof positive of the states
stride in this direction is shown in
the fact that Wheeling boasts of a
Patent Attorney, II. Z. Dunlap,
whose business has grown marvel
ously, and whose clientage is con
fined chiefly to West Virginia invent
ors, who previous to the opening of
an office in this state were forced to
deal with Washington attorneys.

Stoddard'S Joke.
(Philadelphia Post.O

In his library the other day, Richard
Henry Stoddard was talking with some
friends about men and days that are
gone.
Il met John,G. SAKE one morning about
nfty years ago" said the poet. 1t was in
Broadway. and 1 was on my way 20 the
custom house, where L was employed.
SAKE was a big man. a giant OF a man,
bluff and hearty. He was in a particular
" happy mood this day, and before We
had gone far he gave me the reason.
My son., he said, is doing better
than l expected. He is making a great
success
How l asked.
a. He has started lumber yard up in
Albany.
All out of his own head?' 1 inquired.
Il don't believe that SAKE altogether
liked my question, but L meant no
HARM"
Speaking of SAKE suggested other poets,
and Mr.. Stoddard asked whether anyone
could recall the conundrum once pro-
pounded concerning Fitz James O'Brien.
o Brien, by the way, was a thorough boz
hemian. He lived up to his last cent. and
seldom occupied the same rooms for any
length Of time. No one remembered the
riddle.
IN tell you, then" continued the poet.
Il think it was Marshal who propounded
il. 1t was. Why is o Brien like the AL
mighty The answer was, Because he
moves in a mysterious way"

GhOulish Strife to Witness Distress
of Nine. Dreyfus.
STARE HER in THE FACE
CROWD ABOUT HER WHEN SHE
LEAVES THE PRISON.
Camera Fiends Who Have Been TAX
ing Snap Shots of the Interior of
Dreyfus' Cell Are Suppressed
Prisoners Wife Visits Him and
Came Away Weeping.

Rennes, July 5.-For Captain Dreyfus
the day passed off much as yesterday
Madame Dreyfus. Matthew Dreyfus
his brother, and Maitre Labori, his
counsel, visited the prisoner, but 9TH
erwlse no special incident occurred AS
an illustration of the indifference of the
population, it is worthy of note that the
words ''Vive Dreyfus," chalked upon a
wall IN corner of the town, remains
/ absolutely undisturbed.
! Many, however, predict trouble on the
national fete day, when a review OF the
| garrison viii be held. The anti-Drey-
fusftes, it is feared, Will attempt to
draw the troops into a demonstration.
Madame DreyfuS, accompanied by her
parents, drove to the prison In a car
rage this afternoon. Her parents were
not admitted, but she remained with
her husband an hour On leaving she
showed, for the first time, signs of dis
tress. Her eyes were swollen and red,
as though she had been weeping bit
terly. She is stiIl in deep mourning,
and is determined TO remain so until
her husband regains his liberty.
Rude to Nine. Dreyfus.
A somewhat larger crowd than usual
watched her arrival and departure and
again displayed utter lack of manners
and consideration for her terrible po-
sltion, gathering around her, rudely
staring her in the face and pressing one
another aside in their eagerness. not to
lose single detail of her inward agony
which might be reflected in her coun-
tenance.
Her visible distress today was a feast
for those ghouls. who, however, were
speedily dispersed by a squad of gen
d'armes. The latter finally barred the
two streets leading to the portal of the
prison.
Just opposite the prison and overlook
ing the window of the cell of Captain
Dreyfus and the court yard. is a tan
merry. This has been a favorite place of
vantage for number of photographers
who have taken snap shots of every
arrival and departure, and as often as
possible of the incidents occurring in
side the prison yard. Today the police
affixed notice over the tannery en-
trance prohibiting the entry there of
any one except on business connected
with the tannery. This measure has
aroused considerable comment. but the
owner of the tannery will probably find
II prudent not to ignore the notice.
Maitre Labor, Matthew Dreyfus and
Madame Dreyfus returned to Paris this |
evening.

TRIED TO KILL HIS MOTHER.
Fearful Crime of Drunken Man In
San Francisco.

San Francisco, July 5.-While in a
drunken frenzy, Cornelius Manning
tried to kill his mother by throwing a
lighted lamp at her. The efforts of
Mrs. Mary Kennedy, who was visiting
Mrs. Manning, to save the life OF her
hostess, resulted in frightful burns,
which will probably end fatally for the
unfortunate woman. Paul Kennedy,
the husband, is also painfully burned
about the hands and face, and his little
5-year-old niece, Maude Kennedy, is SO
seriously injured from the flaming oil
that, though she will recover, she may
be marked for life.
The tragedy took place at the house
of Mrs. Manning, on Jones and Green
witch streets. Young Manning came
home with a friend named Taylor. A
quarrel ensued, and when Mrs. Man
ming attempted TO quiet her son he
dashed small lamp on the floor, where
it exploded. He then threw a larger
lamp at his mother. 1t struck Mrs.
Kennedy, who attempted to interfere,
and fell at he feet of the little girl. All
were dreadfully injured, and Mr.. Ken
nedy was badly burned in trying to
extinglIish the flames. Young Manning
at once fed, and has not been captured.

MR. HYDE PAYS NO WATER TAX
CITIZEN WHO ENJOYED SPECIAL
PRIVILEGES.
Alleged Verbal Agreement With
Mayor Jennings Set Up-Council
Refuses Him Water Now.

Ever since the sluggish canal has
amptied into the aqueduct on North
Temple street, just east of Main street,
Frank II. Hyde has enjoyed the special
privilege of having the city water
served TO him without charge, but now
The favor appears to be approaching an
end. Until their claims were eXtin-
guished a few years since, neighbOrs of
Mr.. Hyde on North Temple street en-
joyed the same. privilege on the
strength of an alleged verbal agree
ment with William Jennings, when he
was mayor twenty years ago.
Last week City Treasurer Morris had
Mr.. Hyde's water service cut off be-
cause the council committee had re-
fused TO make the customary abate-
lnent of his water rates and he refused
10 pay. In his request to the city
council last night, Mr.. Hyde alleged
that in consideration of himself and
neighbors pledgirS not to enjoin the
city from polluting their water supply
from the open ditch by discharging the
canal flow into the aqueduct above, it
was verbally agreed by TIE then mayor
that the pipe service would be given
them without charge.
When a motion was made to refer
the question TO the mayor, Mayor
Clark gained the floor TO state that he
failed 10 see that he had any juris-
diction 10 grant an abatement of last
years water rates against Mr.. Hyde
Before taking his seat the mayor said
that when he was a member of the
council the claims of T. II. and a. +.
Hyde and Aurelius Miner We're recog-
nized and adjusted.
Councilman Patrick had recollec-
ton OF the matter as stated by the
mayor. and Councilman Diehf, who was
formerly assessor of water rates, re-
cited a more recent chapter in the his
tory of the case. He told. how MIR.
Hyde induced Mayor Scott and Mayor
Baskin TO remit his annual water rates
on the strength of the verbal ar
rangement with Mayor Jennings
Finally a motion prevailed 10 refer
the controversy to the committee on
waterworks. with the city attorney as
ISOLATED. The council was. unanimous
in the sentiment that if Mr.. Hyde has
any legal claim il will be respected. but
il the attorneys advice is to the con-
trary he viii be given an opportunity
to fight the city in the courts

Knew How to Play Ball.
CWashington Post.l


a trolley party composed almost ex-
clusively of young women passed along
the Chevy Chase line a few evenings
ago.
A bunch Of small boys were playing
ball close to the car tracks.
The batsman soaked the yarn and
leather ball just as the car stopped,
and it sailed in the direction OF the car.
A pretty girl with snappy black eyes
holding down the outside seat saw the
ball coming, and she reached out a
pretty right hand and gathered IL in
with all the grace and GOODNESS in life
tossing it back to the nearest boy when
he came up for it.
Sign her. exclaimed all the other
girls in the car, and the few men who
were reading their papers in the back
seats rubbed their eyes as if they fan
cied they might still be on the bleach
