competent draughtsman; one other
clerk, a machinist and a messenger. It
provided also seal for the Office, and
required that the patent should issue
under that seal, and be signed by the
secretary of state and countersigned
by the commissioner.
The first patent issued under this
law was to Hon. John. Ruggles, for To-
connective engines on inclined planes.
Henry L. Ellsworth was appointed
the first commissioner under this law
and Charles NJ. Keller examining clerk.
and thereupon the present system OF
examinations began. Later the Office
was transferred from the department
of state to the interior department.
Every man has more or less inventive
instinct, and there are thousands OF
attorneys throughout the land who
devote their time and attention to the
study of patent law, and to the inter
ests of their inventive clients.
And right here, to be practical rath-
err than historical and discursive, let it
be known that no man, be he attorney
or claim agent, can secure a patent for
anybody by the use of money to inf1u-
ence a decision. No man should allow
himself to be deceived on that score.
Any attorney or claim agent who in
Inmates anything of that character
should be set down as fraud. The
commissioners and the assistant com
missioners are always men of high
character, standing well in their home
communities and in this community.
The examiners and clerks are honor
able men. Eeach case receives as care
full considerations as any case in a court
of Justice. Each case is decided upon
its merits. Because of the careful con-
sideration given to each case there are
necessary delays which are often ex-
asperating to the inventors who be-
lieve that their fortunes are being
withheld from them, because each in
ventor looks upon his model and be-
lieves, as Col. Sellers believed, that
There's millions in it."
But there's not. The inventor usu-
aSy gets some fame for his name; but
the capitalist gets the cash-paying
game. Poor men constitute vast ma
jority of inventors, probably because
necessity is the mother of inventions.
but very few of them die any richer
than they were born. SMITH D. FRY.

GENERAL MANAGER BUSY
MT. Gilbert Hard at Work Arrang- ing Details of the Fall
 Festival.

The time for the opening of the Fall Festival. to be held under the auspices of the Montgomery Street Fair Association, is fast approaching
 General Manager Gilbert and his splen- did corps of assistants have not. been idle but have been working like beavers to get the preliminaries for one of the most unique and original undertakings in all the history of the Association The Gen. eral Manager has arranged his various committees like a general manages his men in battle array, each at his post, and each and all are ready individually and collectively to do his and their full duty towards making the Festival a great suc- cess.
 Mir. Gilbert has prepared and sent yes terday a circular letter to the different committee chairmen urging them to keep the local newspapers advised of the Work in their various departments. In this way, with the cooperation of the chair men of the various committees, who are of necessity better acquainted with the work of their respective departments than any other person, the reporters of the local newspapers can present each day an attractive and comprehensive article on the Fair and keep 1t continually be- fore the public.
 Besides the attractions that have all ready been arranged for, many special attractions are being negotiated with and most of them will certainly be engaged and the whole will far surpass anything of the kind ever seen here at any time in the past.

CHARLIE RAY ESCAPED
WELL KNOWN MONTGOMERY
 CRIMINAL LEFT MINES.
Has Figured in Local Courts Many Times and Was Serving Three Year Sentence for Grand
 Larceny.

Charlie Ray. of Montgomery. convict who has been serving sentence in the mines at Coalburg for grand larceny made his escape early yesterday morn ing. Ray had been sent up from this county for three years and had nearly two years to serve. Some months ago Ray and several other convicts made an attempt for their liberty, but the guards caught them just as they were about to succeed. Ray is considered bad man. He has killed one negro in Montgomery and has figured In many shooting scrapes.
 The news of the escape of Ray reached Montgomery in a telegram to Captain A. Gerald. Chief of the Montgomery Police Department.
 At the October term of the City Court of Montgomery, in 1899. Ray was tried and convicted of grand larceny. The ev- idence showed that he entered the sta ble of S, B. Marks and stole a set of harness. On December 9. 1899. Ray was sentenced to three years in the peniten- tiary His attorneys took an appeal to the Supreme Court, and on June ', lsOO that court affirmed the decision of the City Court of Montgomery, and Ray was sent off to serve out his time. His sentence started from the date of the af- firmance by the Supreme Court. hence he had nearly two years to serve.
 About two years ago Ray and J. G. Reasonover had a duel on South Court Street. Reasonover was shot in the leg the neck, which came near proving fatal An indictment charging him with an affray is still pending against him.
 Ray had a wife in this city who se- cured a divorce from him several months ago.

NEW CIRCUS COMING.
First Visit to Montgomery of Wal
 lace Show.

For the first time in its history, the Great Wallace Show will visit Moptgom- cry this season. The date isI Monday. October 2S. This is about the only sprom- inent city in the country that the Wal lace circus has not visited during its seventeen annual tours of the country. For some reason Montgomery has not been on Wallace's map,
 The Great Wallace Show is in the very front rank of tented shows, and its splendor and magnitude upon its coming visit will be an agreeable revelation to those citizens who are not versed in the show business The Wallace circus is a fine show, a big one. and 1t is almost safe to say it is the most DC cpular and up-to-date circus on the road today. It has a large menagerie and museum, in- cluding some unusual features, and in its circus proper there are from five to eight acts at one time on the stage and in the three rings.
 After the Great Wallace Shows exhibi- ton here on Monday, October 2S, when citizens will bccome well acquainted with the Wallace aggregation and it with the city, 1t is safe to say that each will be- come popular with the other and that the Wallace circus will always be sure of large crowds whenever 1t visits here.

While Trying on Shoes. New York Telegram to the Chicago
 Because Mrs. Nellie Van slingerland alleges that a saieswoman of Alfred Cammeyer "carelessly. negligently ana improperly handled her feot'' !n trying on a pair of shoes, she has brought suit to recoV.r $10,000 from the shoeman. Mrs. Van Slingerland, according to her own story went to Cammeyer's last May to buy some shoes.
 The young woman who waited upon her, she says, caught hold of her foot roughly and clumsily. not once, but twice 7 he feet of Mrs. Van Slingerland are, she ayers, most delicate, and she has always to be exceedingly careful how they are handled-especially her toes.
 She says she cried out when the sales girl hurt her and protested. to which the girl responded that she knew her busi- ness, and thereupon pinched her right foot so severely that the great toe caus- ed her great mental and physical pain and anguish.
 She claims that she was obliged to walk on crutches a part of the summer. The plaintiff Is the divorced wife or a man named Lynde, at one time one or the American officials in the Costa Rica Government. Mrs. Van Slingerl2nd has a suit agair st him for S.5OO She Is best known, however, because of her promi- nence a year ago in New Orleans af- fair. involving Postmaster Pitkin, which caused his removal from office.

way about the Exposition and about Charleston. Among other things he said that the Exposition would be a failure because nothing that Charleston had ever undertaken had succeeded. and it was not possible for anything to suc- ceed here. The report caused a great deal of animated comment, and the opinion generally expressed was that such talk came with very bad grace from one who had himself succeeded in making a good thing out of his business in this city. It has been the habit of many of our people to accept whatever might be said to the disadvantage of Charleston without protest, but the style Is changing, and 1t Is now the proper thing for Charlestonians to stand up for Charleston.
