LOST HER MONEY.
A Young Lady's Pocket Book
Disappears.
Had Left il on a Table in a Public Par
Tor of Hotel While She
Ate Dinner.

Miss Davis, a school teacher resid
ing near Madelia. was robbed of 8
purse containing $43 shortly after moor
Monday. She went to the Clifton House
for her dinner and when she went tC
the dining room she left her purse and
gloves lying on the table in the lower OF
public parlor, just across the hall from
the office and with an entrance almost
on to the street. When she returned
from dinner her purse and gloves were
gone The matter was at once reported
to Landlord Klein and the police were
notified and instituted search.
When Miss Davis left the parlor for
dinner there was one lady sitting there
and she considered her property
safe. Any one passing in or out of
the hotel entrance could see the pocket
book lying on the table, and it was an
easy matter for some one to go in and
take it. Hereafter the young lady
will probably not leave her valuables
in so conspicuous and exposed place.
The police up to late this after
noon had not succeeded in locating the
thief. The identity of the lady who
was sitting in the parlor when Miss
Davis left her purse there is not
known, but the police are trying to
find her in hopes of gaining informa-
tion upon which to act. The purse
contained some small change besides

From Miami to Nassau 1--WE had a

rough, was unusually stirred the night
we came over We weighted anchor
at O'Clock Wednesday afternoon and
struck the gulf stream few moments
before six. The boat is top-heavy
affair that plies between, these ports
and she rolled, rocked, tumbled and
turned until nearly every soul ON board
was possessed of that ''tired feeling"
known only to those who have had it.
Six of the hundred passengers on board
responded to the supper call, while
the remainder were looking after mat
tiers of personal interest that required
their immediate presence, and of
course waived the supper question. We
weathered the difficulty and did not
give up any of our possessions, but
must confess that we felt very much
like doing so several times. The bal
ance of our party paid tribute to sea
voyage in royal style and to the extent
of their ability. Next morning, how

PHILOSOPHER CORRECTED.
Benjamin PraEkIin's Experience With c
Wig Maker.

When Benjamin Franklin went to
Paris as the representative of the re-
volted American colonies, he had to be
presented to the king and it was a
matter of some solicitude with him
how he should array himself for that
ceremony.
He was anxious not be considered
lacking in respect for. the French
court, where much formality regarding
dress was observed; but he knew it
would be an affectation for so simple a
republican as he was to initiate the
court dress. He decided, therefore :,
and wisely to appear in a plain suit
Of black velvet, with white silk stock
ings and black shoes.
Nevertheless, he deemed it best to
make one concession to the French
fashion of the time by wearing a wig
something which he had not been
accustomed to do. He ordered of a
wig maker the largest one the man
had, and in season for the presenta-
tion the man himself brought the wig
and set about trying it on.
But do all he could, the man could
not squeeze the wig on the philoso-
piers head He tried and tried, and
also essayed to convince Franklin,
against the evidence of his senses, that
the wig was a fit. Finally Franklin
said:
81 tell you, man, your wig is not
large enough"
Upon this the Frenchman threw the
wig down in a rage.

DR.. KOEHNE'S LECTURES.
An Eloquent Description of The Jewish
Nation and Its Effect on the Worlds
Nations.

DR. Koehne delivered the first of his
C curse of Bible lectures at the Presby-
terrain church Sunday evening to an au-
dience that filled the auditorium. The
doctor is a very fine speaker and as a
word painter is hard to excel. His
lecture dealt with the Jewish nation
and he was thoroughly at home with
it. He stated that there were two
modes of measuring a people one by
it's great men and the other through
the genius of it's people. He preferred
to take the latter The Jewish nation
he said were the only people who had
mission. They lacked in their
national makeup what many other
people had but in other lines which
proved more enduring they led the
nations. He contrasted them with
Greece and Rome in most Interesting
manner, bringing out the most salient
points of each nation. Their pro,
phets, he said, were not of the ordi-
nary type of men, they were rather
statesmen, patriots and in some in
stan ces poets. What they foretold in
regard to the nations then and which
was confirmed by the passing of time,
was true of the nations today. They
studied the causes and effects. They
saw that certain practices led to GER
tain things, and this being true, it
was not difficult to foretell certain re-
suits. But in those primitive times
such man was regarded as something
marvellous. They were strong men,
men who were not afraid to attack the
evils of their day. They condemned
the acts of their kings when those
acts led away from the paths of right
eousness.
The one great central thought to
those Jews back there in the dawn of
history was that the Messiah was to
come to them. They were to have a
king who would overthrow the hated
Caesar and rule the world.
Eloquently he described their pro-
phets, contrasting them and their work
with that of the nations surrounding
them and commenting upon its effect
upon the present time. He has great
descriptive powers, and his picture of
the advent of Christ into the world
and his treatment by the disappointed
and enraged Jewish nation that had
always dreamed of king in his robes
was grand beyond description. If the
lecture last evening is d criterion of
what the course to follow during the
week are to be, the people of Mankato
have treat opened up before them
on Bible topics, which are treated in
a most up to date style by a thorough
student of those subjects, who possesses
unusual power in presenting them to
the pubic

that the current could be made to vary
in the proper proportions. and also in
the same case to claim that Berliner,
in writing his caveat, must, as an in
ventor, have perceived that his project
mental verifcation was not necessary,
is highly inconsistent.
The court concludes the patent in
suit is invalid for these further rea-
sons:
'1-Because the invention described
in the patent is radically different from
the invention described in the applica-
ton; 2, because the invention was pre-
viously patented by Berliner; 3, be-
Edison was the prior inventor"
Claims l and 2 of the Berliner patent
in suit are held to have been antici-
pated by Bells patent and Bells IL
quiG trasmitter. Under this latter ground
the complainant claimed for Berliner a
new electrical mode of operation"
which the court says a in fact,
Bells, and also a new mode of treat
ing the circuit, i. varying without in
~terrupting it, which also was, in fact,
Bells. And these two claims of the
Berliner patent, when read according
to their natural significance, the court
says, undoubtedly include Bells Ii
quid transmitter, and are invalid for
excessive breadth.
The court also holds that these two
claims of the Berliner patent are an
ticipated by Edison, because their ex-
cessive breadth include various devices
Of Edison which, hike Bells liquid
transmitter. employ a battery current
and a variable contract Of electrodes,
and variable pressure These devices of
Edison were of Feb. 9th and April 1st,
1877.
The court holds that "the conception
of Edison of the use of carbon for
speech transmission preceded Berliner's
conception of the use of solid, metallic
electrodes; that from his first concep-
ton Edison diligently proceeded upon
a line of experiments that led to an in
vention of remarkable character, which
borrows nothing from Berliner, has no
substantial resemblance to what is
shown in the Berliner patent and IAN
not be identified with 1t by an ingenious
use of language. The defendants W
