THE PATENT OFFICE.
Frederick I. Allen Placed at Its
 Head by the President
New Commissioner Comes from New York and Is Reputed to He an Able Lawyer and q Tine
 Scientific Student.

Frederick Innes Allen, the new commissioner of patents, was born in Auburn, N. Y., January 19, 1859. He comes from New England stock, being a direct descendant of George Allen, who landed with the Wey- mouth party from England in 1886, and settled at Weymouth, Mass. The head of the branch of the family from which the commissioner is de- scended was one of the founders of the town of Sandwich, Mass, the first town of the Plymouth colony upon Cape Cod.
 MT. Aliens father was William AL len, who for many years was prom inently and actively engaged in the practice of patent law. He was a contemporary of and associated with such great patent practitioners as Blatchford, Clifford, Harding and other authorities upon patent law of a generation ago. He was the man. aging attorney of the combination of reaper patent owners who controlled the manufacture of harvesters in the United States 40 years ago, and which was the largest combination of the time.
 Commissioner Allen was educated at the Auburn high school and Phil lips academy, Andover, and graduated from the Sheffield scientific school of Yale with the class of '79.
 He then took up the study of law and was admitted to practice in 1882. His natural inclination was to, patent law, and he: at once began the study of this special branch of his profes- sion. He has been eminently success fu1 in hisspractice.
 While he has always been a diligent student of the law, Mir. Allen has found time to acquaint himself with a wide range of topics, and few men have more general information upoE

Mountain Moved by Science.

Faith may not moyea mountain, but science can, as some engineersin in Costa Rica have just shown. The railway from San Joseto the Pacific coast runs along a ledge on the siGe of a mountain above the river Reventa. The soil is, a bluish clay, which turns into mud during the rainy season, and the track was washed away so often that gangs of men had to be constant ly at work repairing the road. To remedy the trouble the engineers de- termined to remove that part of the mountain over which the track rap, and this they have done by the use of the hydraulic giant, machine that throws a stream of water with trc- mendous force. The same machine is used in mining operations out west, and the impact of the stream of water is as powerful as that of heavy ar tillery, and more effective, for it is con tinlouS

greater variety of subjects. He has been special student upon naval and ordnance construction, and he has given number of entertaining and instructive addresses upon these subjects. Mr. Allen also excels as g mineralogist. While at Yale he took the class prize for geological and mineralogical study. He has never lost interest in the subjects and his collection of specimens is large and complete.
 MT. Allen, says the Scientific Amer ican, is a man of dignified appearance and pleasant manners. He gives one the impression of being man of strength and firmness coupled with that breadth of view which is so ab- solutely essential in anyone holding a position requiring as diversified tall ents as a commissioner of patents. He has, by education and experience, a thorough knowledge ofsthe patent practice, and there is no reason why he should not soon acquire a thor ough understanding of the inner workings and special needs of the patent office.

the order expelling him from Arizona was, at best, a military precaution, and certainly could never have been regarded as military necessity. Capt. Wotherspoon, commandant at Mount Vernon barracks, was also a sympathizer with the impris oned chief Vincent Colyer stated to the authorities that Es-kim-in-zin was the first Indian chief who came into the military post at old Camp Grant, Ariz., in the spring of 1871, and asked to be allowed to live in peace. It is asserted that while there under the protection of the American flag, and assured by the army officers that he and his people could sleep in their camp in as perfect security as the soldiers could in theirs, they were, in the early dawn, set upon by. a band of assassins, under the leadership of Americans, and 12s of his tribe, his family, relatives and friends. old men,
 women and children, were brutally murdered and their bodies mutilated.
 Es-kim-in-zin saved only one mem- Der of his family from the slaughter, and this was little girl, two and a half years old, whom he caught in his arms as he fled. Es-kim-in-zin, the day after the massacre, returned to Camp Grant, where the commanding
 officer assured him that no soldier had any part in or sympathy with this brutal butchery. With this as- surance he returned with the suryiv- ars of his band. and once more placed

'sthis was Q very unfortunate blunder." It appeared to Es-kim-in- zin like trickery and he became en- ragged. He was stirred to revenge, and later, either he, or one of his friends, killed white man.
 His friends maintain that it was wonderful that he stopped at the death of only one of a race with which he had formerly maintained relations of perpetual war, and who, since a truce was declared, had exercised, as he believed, and had reason to believe, so much trsachsry and cruelty toward him and his people
 The enemies of EE-kim-in-zin empha- sized his alleged crime by saying that the man who was killed had befriended him. His friends said that these peo- pie lost sight of the fact that all this treachery, cruelty and murder toward the Apaehss was enacted after the most solemn assurances of friendship and protection had been made to the Indians by the commissioned officers of the American government.
 One of the papers filed in behalf of Es-kim- -in-zin contains the follwing paragraph: "Is it not strange that we can pass lightly over the 12s treacher- ous and cowardly murders instigated by white men, while we carefully treas ure the memory of single killing by an Indian, and after the lapse of 23 years point to him and say: This man murdered his friend, without even giv- ing him the benefit of the circun- stances which instigated the crime"
 Within the two years which followed the massacre of old Camp Grant, Spe- cial Commissioners Colyer and Gen. 9. o. Howard visited Arizona. Post Office Inspector Clum says that these off, csrs did net find ES-kim-in-zin streaohorous, cruel and bad" but that, sn the contrary, they had great confidence in him, and that Gen. How ard believed in the old chief MT. Cum states that when he went to Arizona in 1874 as the Indian agent at San Carlos he found Es-kim-in-zin a prisoner of war at new Camp Grant in irons, engaged in making adobes for the soldiers, and that then, as now, there were mo specific charges against him. MT. Cum said that the officers at the post told him the In- dian was confined because "a certain major of the United States army did not like him. apd regarded him as bad Indian. h 4

Kills Lion with pitchforls.

Grant McQueary, a ranchman living two miles above Urmston, Col, on the toll road, killed mountain lion with a pitchfork. McQueary heard a com motion in his corral, where he was housing some calves, and, armed with only pitchfork and accompanied by his dog, he started to investigate Ar irving at the corral, he found large mountain lion making his supper off one of his choice calves. The brute, so near famished, was unwilling to give up his repast and gave battle. Me Queary, with the assistance of his large shepherd dog, succeeded in s1ay- ing the infuriated animal, stabbing the lion several times about the head and i'll the vicinity of the heart with the pitchfork.

The officer whoa' committed that outrage was not in danger of being s'suspected' of being a bad man; for he was a bad man, and a disgrace to the uniform which he wore. He was as infamous as thosel villains who not only suspected, butt by perjured testimony convicted Capt.l Dreyfus and condemned him to living death in torture and torment.

Es-lxim-in-zin was released, and up toi the time of the departure of Agent Cum from that agency the old Indian was faithful, and never found wanting in action or advice. When the agent'si life was sometimes in danger, he re- lied upon Es-km-in-zin, and the old chief always did his duty we'll. It was in 1877, after Agent Cum went else- where, that the undeservcd outrages were heaped upon the old Indian, who. had done nothing wrong, but had dona everything to deserve betetr fate.

4 DISGRACE TO THE JUDICIARY.

The Republican assumes that Mr. A.
IT Atkinson is the writer of certain ed
itorials in the Star and harshly criti
cises him for discussing public questions
and officials while holding an executive
office under the Territorial Government.
The dividing line between the proper
exercise of the privileges of citizen
and "pernicious political activity on
the part of an executive ice-holder,
is somewhat shadowy and open to de-
BATE but there is no question as to the
attitude which propriety and decency
requires of a man holding high judi
cial position.
The Advertiser has no knowledge of
who writes the Star editorials, but 1t
does know that A. S. Humphreys, Cir
cult Judge of the First Circuit Court,
is the controlling owner of the Repub-
lican, a violently partisan, political pa
per; that he is directing and carrying
on both in and out of his paper an ac-
tive campaign of personal denunciation
against Governor Dole and all his po-
litical supporters; that in exchange for
legislative printing for his paper and
a promise of political support for his
personal ambitions, he is editorially
supporting the Home Rule, and oppos-
ing the Republican party in the Legis-
lature, and is the active confidential
adviser of the Home Rule party.
In fact ne is the most active, violent
and. vindictive politician in Hawaii to-
day.
No man can devote his days to po
litical and partisan scheming and his
nights ito personal journalism and de-
editorials and between
times dispense even handed and impair
tial justice between men, many of
whom are his political opponents and
objects of denunciation in his paper on
the verys day that their cases are
before him for adjudication.
Never in the history Of Hawaii has
there been such degradation of judicial
dignity and propriety as the shameless
exhibition now being presented by the
triple character Circuit Judge, Home
Rule leader and partisan newspaper
proprietor.
