WANT GOVERNMENT TO HELP STATE FAIR ASSOCIATIONS. ConnecticLt Manufacturers Protest
 Against Proposed Revision of
 Patent Laws.

Special to The BuIIetin)
 Washington, April 26.-Members of the Connecticut delegation are in re- ceipt of a petition from the Connecti- cut Fair association, signed by its manager, I. H. Butterfeld favoring the passage of house bill No. IS eos, which provides an appropriation of $100000 to aid state fair associations in the erection of proper buildings.
 The manufacturers of the state are writing the members of the delegation protesting against the passage of the proposed revision of tEe patent laws. They say that some of these laws are vicious and will limit the action of the inventive genius of the country. They object to the Prouty bill, which pro- hibits the patentee from maintaining a fixed price on his products, to the Old field bill, which provides for a compul- sOry license to manufacture under the patent and other bills which limit the right of the patente3 to dictate as to the sale CT manufacture of the specific article on which he is granted a patent The manufacturers express the hope that the Connecticut delegation iu congress will use every effort in de- feating any bill which in it's operation would limil the scope of the present control granted by the patent to the patentee.
 Representative Henry,who is a mem Der of the house committee, said yes terday in answer to questions that he did not think any of the bills com plained of would receive favorable con- sider2tior C. the committee: in fact he ] did not think there would be any pat l ent legislation at this session of con | gress

it's a true story, too. The man had
his barn insured for $500, and one day

Dutch farmer, expected to get the
$500 in cold cash, he was disappoint.
ed by the announcement of the agent,
who said that his company would build
new barn, instead OF paying the
money to him.
"Of course, the old man was sore;
he would much rather have had the
money; but he couldn't do anything
and SO he became resigned to his
fate.
Several months after that an am,
bilious life insurance agent came
around to the Dutch farmer and told
him all about the advantages Of hay

proposed that the man insure the life

But our friend, the Dutehman.

INDIAN GIRLS AS SERVANTS
In Arizona They Have Been Found to
Be Fairly sklllfu and Indus
trlous Domestlos.

1.-THE best domestic servants that
we can get In, our isolated region are
Indian girls said Mr.. George A. Hur-
ley OF Flagstaff, Ariz. These girls.
fairly skillful and moderately indus
trious, could scarcely be rated ideal,
but on the whole, they are satisfac-
tory, and In the absence OF other help
we are extremely glad to get them.
Their efficiency is the result Of train
ing in the Indian schools of the Feser-
Yations, and when one stops to con-
slider their native environment and
semi-savage rearing It Is rather extra
ordinary that they should be as clever
and valuable as they are.
by temperament these Indian girls
are inclined to reticence. They do
what is asked OF them uncOmplain-
ingly, but they rarely smile and never
joke and are not demonstratiVe In any
way, with one exception. This is when
the woman in Uncle Sans employ
who was their school superintendent
or teacher, comes around to make her
periodical visits in order to see how
the girls who are at service are get
ting on. Whenever this visitor arrives
the particular Indian maid who greets
her gives her welcome that for an
Indian is exceedingly cordial, and ef-
fusive. The girls, indeed, seem to
cherish real sentiment OF deep graft.
