Gently made to the West
We left Everett October 25th,

FRANKLIN MILLS.

Dec 2. 2.-Courtland Van Deusen
when in this locality last summer
organized a Snuaay school Ut
FrSuklin Mills that has exceeded
the expec cations Of the most san
guiue in the matter of attendance
and the interest manifested.
The superintendent, Ira d.
Mellott, and the teachers nave
been punctua. IN their attendance
impartlng instructions along IN
teresting lines.
This has been, in our minds,
one of the great drawbacks to
Sunday schools-the selection of
teachers. Sunday schools should
have live teachers same as ii. our
common sch ols-allve to the
work they are engaged in.
They are arranging a program
for a Christmas. entertainment.
This we think is right, and acts
as an incentive to greater efforts
on the part of the child,
We regret to note the fact that
Miss Jane Gordon, sister of VIM.
p. Gordon, Esq, of Warfords-
burg, is lying in very critical
condition and her recovery is in
doubt. Hon. Jno. Daniels is also
very sick at his home near here.
DR.. Fisher Is attending him.

TELLS PATHETIC STORY.
Aged Man Sent to the Soldiers Tenn
porary Home

pitiful story was told by Frank War
rem when he took the stand in his own be-
half In the Police Court, before Judge KIM
bal, this morning. The old man was ar
raisned on a charge of vagrancy, and by
direction of the court he was turned over
to Agent Massie of the Prisoners Aid So
ciety to be taken to the temporary SOL
diers home.
When the name of Frank Warren was
called an old man with silver-gray hair,
stopping shoulders and lettering steps,
shuffled to the rail at the front of the
dock. He pleaded not guilty to the charge
of vagrancy and expressed desire to
make a statement. Officer Broderick told
of finding the man taking bath at shed
in Ivy City northeast.
Il want to say something said War
rem, in a trembling voice. Judge, 1 left
my home in Franklin county, n. Y, In
1861, to serve in the army. and was cap
tured. I was sent to Andersonvile prison,
and that broke down my health. After the
war l enlisted in the 18th United States In
fantry and served four years. After that
l went to Mobile to live, but when they
found l had been a Union soldier they
picked at me, and 1 left
Have you got papers to show this?'
asked Judge Kimbal.
Yes, sir. But they are at my sisters
home, in Franklin county, N. Y"
IF what you say is true you can get into
the Soldiers Home for the rest of your
life. You can go to the temporary home
until them concluded his honor.

Patent Commissioner Reversed

The District Court of Appeals, in an opin-
lon written by Chief Justice Clabaugh of the
District Supreme Court who sat as a mem
Der of the appellate court at the hearing.
has reversed the decision of the commits
sioner of patents in the case of Alexander
against Blackman. The case. involved the
right to patent for wood flooring Sec
ton, each party claiming the priority of in
vention. Each party claimed that he had
disclosed the invention to the other on Sep
TENDER "a, 1900 Blackman claimed to have
conceived the invention about September 81
1902 and Alexander contended that it was
conceived by him the first part of that
month. 1t was charged that the appellant
and his witnesses were undertaking to per-
petrate fraud.
The Court of Appeals holds that Alexan-
ders witnesses are worthy of credit and
the priority of invention Is adjudicated in
his favor.
In the matter of the application Of John
Weber and Nicholas Barry, jr., the decision
or the commissioner of patents was upheld
In an opinion of the Court of Appeals writ
ten by Justice Clabaugh who also sat at
the hearing. The commissioner of patents
rejected an application by Weber and Barry

Officer Frank of the tenth precinct sta
ton was suddenly called by a screaming
woman yesterday while on his beat He
rapidly came UP to the woman, and soon
learned that she was fleeing from the blows
of a husband who had sworn to protect her.
He was arrested, and he was brought to the
Police Court this morning and arratgnod
before Judge Scott on charge of assault
on his wife.
Julia Wran told on the stand that she
was at home when her husband came
home somewhat under the influence of in
toxicants. He wished his wife to go into
the house with him, but She was afraid
and refused to go into the house. Where
upon, she said, her husband tried to show
her that he was such Jim Jeffries that he
could force her to go into the house and
he knocked her down twice He was max
ing for her again, when she decided to con-
suit an officer, and soon found him.
Bertha Wran, the daughter, corroborated

values In that section. Congress gave the
Commissioners authority to condemn the
necessary land for the street, but as the
first award. made by a condemnation COM

tension offset the damages, and recommend
ed that no one be allowed anything.
The verdict was approved by the court.
