Bell "Peeved" Uncle Sans Young Men

tioneer on a charge of disorderly con-
duct. While the warrant was being
sworn out in police court, however,
Assistant Corporation Counsel Gus A.
Schuldt considered the case and rem
dered decision to the effect that the
auctioneer was not liable to prosecu-
ton for the ringing of the bell.
The warrant was not sworn out, but
Capt. Michael Byrnes, of the Sixth
precinct, visited the auctioneer and
explained to him how he was uncon-
sciously interfering with the work of
Uncle Sam and slowly demoralizing
the patent Office. Tears came to the
eyes of the auctioneer at the thought
of having caused Uncle Sam mo-
ment's trouble, and in broken words
notified the captain that it would be
unnecessary to arrest him, for he
would discontinue the ringing of the
obnoxious bell at once.
So the bell will ring no more. That
is, during patent Office hours. But up
to one minute of nine in the morning,
and after 4:31 o'clock In the after
noon, the bow-legged wielder of the
massive bell will jangle it in a man
ner never before heard Of In order to
make up for lost time.

with a rounded bit and long handle
was placed in his hands, and If they
had not stopped him he would have

ture. Until this spring only two trees

Lost Hats at the Executive Office

NOW we intend to make it an issue
IN For some years we have openly
lamented that at the executive Office
of the president of the United States
there are no hat racks. The time is
at hand when the great issue must be
met Congressman G. B. Slemp of
Virginia, who Is generally as punctil-
ious as an ordinary mortal can be, fin
ished a rapid-fire conference with the
president and came out to find his hat,
which he had left upon one Of the
seats in the outer room. Hastily
and then carefully he loSKed, but his
hat was not there. Someone had
changed hats. Now Congressman
Slemp's hat was of fairly normal size,
and all he could find was a little hat
that would cover only the rear end of
his head. And that was discovered
only after the process of elimination
had been applied and the little hat
was the only one left.
1t is humiliating to think that the
statesmen of the country should have
to roam about the executive office
hunting for stray hats. OF course ev.
erybody joked Congressman Slemp,
but it was far from a joking matter
to walk down Executive and Pennsyl-
vania avenues to a distant hat store.
1t did not comport with statesmanlike
dignity; to say nothing of the embar-

AYO longer will the minds of the en-
IN ployes of the patent Office be dis
tracted by the jangling of the
auctioneer's bell.
For some time past numerous COM
plants have been made to Clement s.
Ucker, chief clerk of the department
Of the interior, by employees of the
patent Office, to the effect that their
work was interfereo with by the in
cessant ringing of bell at an auc-
tioneer's establishment, in Seventh
street Northwest, between E and F
streets, opposite the patent Office.
They complained that the bell COM
menced ringing promptly at 8 o'clock
in the morning and that it continued
until 1880 o'clock

the matter to the police and an at

along a road Astounding in pitfalls, with black
miles separating one warm, yellow cabin hgnt

rode onward?- Not of the pain Of the cancer,

his vitality; not of the risk he ran, solitary

ing only Of the fact that his vote would turn the
day for Delaware; Delaware, though little state,
might influence Pennsylvania, and SO the vote OF
the colonies would be unanimous for declara-
ton that would immortalize the men who made
and signed 1t, and enfranchise the people of the
thirteen colonies and their descendants.

it saved and moved when it was

gathering of American statesmen. He
told the following anecdote character

Congress, there were two or three I'M

offense to some members. The words

excited the ire of gentleman or two

the conduct of the British king, in

the law which permitted the importa-

some southern gentlemen. Although
