prevent any action being taken by the

PRIMITIVE WOMAN WAS NEW.
Lndian Relics Prove That Ehe First Pct
AE ter Was q Woman.


I! The discovery near Maurice river, in
the neighborin.g state of New Jersey,
of large numbers Of stone implements
used by Indian or other tribes in the
long>gone centuries brings into notice
the primitive woman, says the New
York Tribune.
In New Jersey, as everywhere else in
the world, she appears to have been
industrious and energetic and inger-
2ous. Among the implements discoy-
cred which she employed in prehistoric
New Jersey were flint knives, with
which she cut meat and prob9bly ves
etables; flint scrapers, with which she
cleaned the skins of deer and bear, wild
cat and other animals, preliminary to
drying ana smoking them for use as
wearing apparel; clay pots and pans,
pipkins and dishes, which she made in
prilncFal pottcriek, at first the sun dry
ing them and thereafter burning them
ia Lot wood fires. The pottery shows
here and there artistic yearnings On the
part Of the unknown makers, more un-
couth and rudimentnry than those OF
the ancient cliff-dwellers, but never
theless they disclose the artistic senti-
ments ana confirm the long list Of ex-
amples collected by Prof, Mason, OF
Washington, showing that the first pot.

Welcome It.

It is claimed that notwithstanding
Iii Hurg Chang has shown some liberal.
ity of views toward modern improve
ment and education. he is at heart
hater of foreigners and has an abid-
ing faith in Chinese institutions and
methods of government, says Cen
tury. He is, it is true. great admirer
of Confucian philosophy. and remem-
bering the enduring history Of his pee~
lple we can hardly wonder at his devo-
ton to the institutions which have
made that history possible.
| When we call to mind the experience
lChina has had with certain western
inations, it might not be considered
Istrange if his attachment to foreigners
was not very ardent; but in all his pub
lie. life his conduct shows that he feels
the need of foreign aid and is disposed
to give it proper welcome, and of all
IChinese statesmen he is the most liber.
lal-minded and free from prejudice.
He is far from claiming that the pres
ent system of government is perfect.
He has, in fact, urged upon the author
tiles at Peking two important changes
which look to reform of the most
serious defects in the system, to-wit,
the withdrawal from the viceroys OF
provinces of powers which should be
exercised only by the imperial govern
ment and such change in the method
Of admission to the public service as
will iberalize the examinations and
make fitness rather than scholarship

which be would gladly bring about If

antiquated customs which prevent do

On the site of some Of the old build

copper coins have been found. One of
the tattered newspapers bears date Of
July 5, 1900, and the word "Telegraphe'

date of August II, 1900, and the word
"Constitution" or Unconstitutional" at
the top Of the first page. The papers
are badly discolored from age and ex-
posure.
Some believe that the paper bearing
the word Telegraphe was an early issue
Of the Boston Daily Telegraph, which

BECAUSE SIZE WAS A WOMAN.
Young Irish Woman becomes Citizen

o
Though Not Twenty One
A conflict of opinion, arose the other
day between the civil service commits
sion at Washington and the district SUI
prene court over the naturalization of
q young lady who desires to take a civil
service examination. Seven years ago
Miss Della A. Mealy arrived in this
country from Ireland. She was but
l3y years of age, and two years ago took
out her first papers.
| Several days ago she applied to Judge
Cox for her final papers. They were
granted, although she. was not 21 years
of age. She filed the papers with the
civil service commission to prove her
citizenship, but they were refused and
indorsed on the back that the law pro-
hibited any foreigner not 21 years of
age from receiving citizenship papers
She returned to court with the in
dorsement and Clerk Young, after con-
sultation with several lawyers, wrote
on the back that Judge Cox had de-
cided to admit her.
| The law in the case puts an age quail
ification on o man, but makes no pro-
vision for a woman. The civil service
commission has accepted the papers.

C. S. Sargent, of Brookline, Mass.
chairman of the United States COM
mission to examine and report on the
timber regions CT the west, the nation
al parks and reservations, arrived in
San Francisco the other day after .
long tour through what. is left of tha
American wilderness.
He is accompanied by Prof. William
Fl. Brewer, of Yale; Gen. w. II. Abbott,
of the engineer corps of the United
States army; Arnold Hague, of the
United States geological survey, and
John Minor, of the commission.
81 do not know that can give you
any startling details regarding our trip
or our purpose" said Mr.. Sargent. "but
what I have is at your disposal. This
commission was appointed by the Ma
tienal academy, at the request OF tho
secn etary of the interior. II is the ma
tional forestry commission as general
ly known.
1--WE have been cut since July and
have travelled nearly 1000 miles by
wagon and made long distances ON
horseback over Elk trails and in all
kinds of country. We have been in the
Yellowstone park, in the wild timber
regions Of northern Montana and
northern Idaho, ascended Mount Hood
and Mount Tacoma, visited Crater lake
and also went to the wild Olympic
mountains in western Washington and
Oregon. Our trip finally ended by .
trip through Del Norte county and 4
portion of Humboldt. !.
at is now our intention to visit the
Sierras, San Jacinto, San Gabriel and
other places. Prof Agassiz. who is ono
Of the commissioners. has not been able
10 be with us. Prof Gofford Pinchot,
Of New York, whose life speciality has
been forestry, is also one of the commits
sioners. He is in the Yosemite now,
where he has been for some time. He
will probably visit Kings river reserva-
tion and join us q little later. v
'When we have finished our fnspec-
tion we win make full report. The
forest fires of the northwest are 80
widespread and the smoke so dense
that there has been but one time when
we could get an extended view Of the
country about us. This was when we
were in the Olympic mountains"
Prof William II. Brewer. Of Yale, said
that the prime objectof the commission
was to devise means to preserve the
forests from fires, thefts and other dep.
relations. He says there are about 19,.
100000 acres of timber in the west.

MEReENTHALE ER PATENTS LOST
w. s. Scudder Has Priority Claim on Es-
sential Parts of Linotype.

W. 5. Scudder Has Priority Claim on Es-
sential Parts of Linotype.
There has been pending III the patent
office for about three years conten-
tion between w. S. Scudder and Ottmar
Mergenthaler, as to priority of inven-
ton in line casting machinery in re-
gard to-first, the matrix bar having
a series of type matrices on its edge
independently usable; second, conpos-
ing mechanism for assembling the type
matrices in line, and a series of stops
to arrest the matrix at its proper place
in the line; third, mechanism for se-
lecting and conducting the matrices to
a place of assemblage and adjusting
chem individually in order into COM
mon line.
The commissioner of patents finds all
these issues, covering also few rninor
points, ia favor Of Seudder. and closes
a long opinion and decision as follows:
"And | fl,id not only that Scrdder
conceived tie Invention as an organized
product Of the intellect as carly as May,
1890, but that lie proceeded thence, un-
der all the circumstances cf the case,
with reasonable diligence to the con
struction Of HIS complicated, costly,
but entirely successful second machine
in Octobor, 1892. and. therefore, prior
ity of invention is awarded to Scudder,
and the decision of the examiners In
chief is reversed"

SUCCESSFUL AIR SHIP TRIAL.
Prof. Chanute's Machine Floats with .
Heavy Weight

Heavy Weight.
Prof. Octave Chanute and his party OF
scientists, who are experimenting with
machines intended to overcome the law
of gravitation, had a most gratifying
experience the other day a. their camp
q few miles south of Miller. Ind, on the
lake shore The flying machine. or,
more scientifically, the aeroplane,
which has been invented by Mr.. Chan
ute, proved itself perfectly capable, not
only of floating in the air, but also car
rying a weight several times as great
as it was designed to support.
For several days the party of scien-
lists has been waiting for a strong
wind. 1t came finally, but was exactly
opposite in direction to that which was
desired. 1t was consequently with q
feeling of surprise that bis attendants
heard Mr.. Chanute order them to pre-
pare his winged machine. Within q
few minutes of noon the unwieldy af-
fair was hanging on tree where the
wind could catch it. Chanute ordered
the rope with which the machine was
secured to the ground to be loosened.
ALI the holds were made by running
slip knots which were easily thrown
. off, but as soon as they were cast off q
most remarkable thing happened.
| Mr. Chanute, who was holding one cor
! ner of the air ship by means of long
rope, was lifted bodily into the air, and
f, Mr.. Ricketts,, Mr.. Herring and Mr.. Paul
seemed likely to accompany him to the
starry regions. All of the quartetts
ware dragged from the ground and
SCARED to height of 100 feet or more as
