A NEW BOOK.


"McLaughlin and Old Oregon,
Chronicle: by Eva Emery Dye. Nc
Clurg's 19O0." This is rather an exas-
perating work. One who should take it
up for story would be perplexed by it's
lack of continuity one who buys it in
search of new historical material is
irritated by an absence of dates or any
kind of exact statements. 1t reminds
one of the Highland preacher in one of
McLaren's stories who so skipped about,
from the seven trumpets to the devil
and his works, that his audience became
dizzy and fell into despair.
1t is book of the better class, fair to
look at and of irreproachable morals as
to grammar and that sort of thing. But
a book about DR.. Mclaughlin really
ought to tell something about him. Half
way through we learn when he was born {:
presently we are told whom he married,
but nothing about when it happened {:
and thorough ransacking of the pages
in search of the date of his going to
Oregon reveals no clew that will locate
it within six years. Some of the chap
ters bear date at their head, but such
chapter may contain accounts of wide
ly separated events. The chapter en-
titled 1.-The death of DR.. Mclaughlin"
is headed 1S49 81; lingering death, one
would think. 1t is thus described: "He
answered, A Dieu. 1t was his last word.
So he died. Peace be with him. Men
paused when they heard his funeral
knell, and women wept." "This was
good man." they said, and so forth.
Good reading, but meagre data for a
biography of the doctor.
Many famous figures in early north
western history appear, but they are
jerked in and out of the pages in so
galvanic fashion that the reader is
kept wondering at their sudden disap.
pearances. Frequent mention is made,
as is natural, of Marcus Whitman the
man who, they say, made Oregon and
Washington United States territory.
Whitman was killed by Indians, whom
he was trying to educate; pilgrimages
are made to his grave to this day. A
chapter in this book is headed "The
Whitman Massacre, 1847." The affair
itself is thus described: What is the
news?" he asked. "Dr Whitman is
dead" answered the priest Mrs.
Whitman?" dead also. Killed by

thanks to the skill, energy and perse-
versnce with which Mormon colonizers
are noted, Batipito will be a place of

Frankfort, KY, March 23.-State
troops recognizing the democratic gov
ernor, Beckham, are in possession of
the county courthouse and JAIL and
will do military duty here under orders
from Gov. Beckham during the exam
ining trials of republican Secretary OF
State Caleb Powers, Capt. John w.
Davis and w. II. Culton, which are set
for hearing before Judge Moore to-
day. The military is also reinforced
by IS special deputy sheriffs, who
were sworn in by the civil authorities
Thursday afternoon. The Lexington
company of 10 men, under Capt. Long.
mire, arrived here at 6:I5 o'clock. The
men were drawn up in regular march
ing order at the station, and marched
to the courthouse. The sidewalks
along the way were well filed with peo-
pie, and the troops were cheered by
Beckham adherents at various points.
The line of march did not pass the
statehouse square, where Gov. Taylor's
soldiers are quartered, and the dual
militia did not come face to face.
Lorgmire marched at the head of his
company. carrying a revolver, while
each of the men carried two guns. 1t
is understood practically the entire
contents of the Lexington armory are
brought here. The commonwealth
will demand that the defendants be ar
raigned separately. County Judge
Moore has issued an order to Sheriff
Suter directing him to exclude every
body from the courthouse to-day ex-
cept attorneys, witnesses nnd members
OF the press. There has been no con-
firmation here of rumors that armed
bodies of citizens from the mountain
section are coming to Frankfort. and
the rumor is not generally credited.

CONNECTICUT LEADS

Country In Its Long List of
Patents.

The annual report OF the commits
sioner OF patents for the year ending
December 81. 1890, shows that the
total receipts of the Office amounted
TO $f.325.457 After deducting the ex-
penditures for the year there was a
surplus Of $il3.s73. The patent otiiee
has now paid into the treasury
$5,0s6,640 more than IL has drawn out.
The number of patents issued, in
cluding designs and reissues. was rs
527--a number but once exceeded. The
number OF patents expiring during the
year were 1s.l35.
In proportion to the population
more patents were issued to citizens
of Connecticut than TO those Of any
other state-one To every 045 iihab-
itants. The report deals largely with
the work OF classification divisions
and sets forth at length the system
adopted. The object Of classification
is 90 reduce the immense number OF
inventions into classcs and subclasses
OF convenient size. capable OF clear
separation and definition and based
upon system sufficiently elastic to
provide for future growth.
Attention is called 20 the lack of
room and to the great less that would
occur II the records of the office were
destroyed by fire. The commissioner

providing for the construction of
fircproof building for the use OF the

ed limiting the number Of appeals In
"merlt" and "lnterference" cases. and
the practice OF keeping applications
for patents in the Office for an in
definite number of years is objected
10 as tending TO stine the progress
of invention. The issuance OF patents.

podited by legislation limiting the

under directions of Quartermaster

which resulted in the sale of the states
clothing to the illinois Supply com
pany" for $I0,500. Smith acknowl-
edged that White had told him that
this company had been organized TO
buy the goods; that its bid was to be
accepted, and that he (White) had a
scheme afoot to buy the goods back
again. The $l0.5O0 received from the
sale was turned into the state treasury
as received for secondhand military

testified that he afterward advertised
for bids for furnishing the state with
similar military supplies, and that by
direction of Gen. White he opened the
bids received. and gave them to the
agent of the Henderson-Ames com

New York, March 23.-D. Appleton
4 Co, one of the oldest and best
known publishing houses in the coun-
try, has failed. The company an
nounced on Thursday that it could
not meet its immediate pressing obli-
cations and had gone into the hands
of a receiver, with liabilities of over
50 .0O0, GOO and no assets available for
ready mon. This announcement
created profound sensation through
out the city..It is the general belief
that the failure is direct aud i'm
mediate consequence of the recent
collapse of the Harpers, though the
two firms had little connection save
in friendly way.-The Appletons
had been in the habit for years of
borrowing sums varying from $780,
600 70 100000 at a time from fnan-
ciers in Wall street in order to tide
over short periods in which their own
capital was locked up in the publica-
tion of books. After the Harpers
failure the financiers were no longer
so ready to advance money to the

a house that had never failed in a
single obligation.
BY a curious chance, one of the
things that affected the credit of the
firm was it's own statement, issued
February /. This statement gave its
assets and liabilities at that time.
While this statement showed an actual
excess of assets over liabilities of some
thing like 81, 2,446, coo, it also showed, in
the opinion of fnanciers, no source
from which the Appletons could draw
for meeting immediate obligations.
