PATENT OFFICE
SMOKING ROW
SETTLED
Elevator Operator Shifted.
Men Cautioned to Use
More Tact

Tits between elevator operators
and Officials In the Patent Office
over the no-smoking rule will Ia
avoided In the future.
Captain r.. w. Hoover, deputy sIi
perintendent OF public buildings and
grounds, will instruct operators tt
request passengers to put out their
smokes while riding, and If the re-
quest Is not obeyed to report the In,
cIdent to his office.
Operators win not in the future
refuse to carry passengers because
they are smoking.
This action was taken as q result
OF the quarrel between c. C. Henry
chief clerk Of the Patent Office. and
William II. Ponsyer, colored elevator
operator. Full reports Of the matter
are now in the hands Of Captain
Hoover.
'Our employe was technically
right In refusing to permit Mr..
Henry to ride while smoking" Cap.
tain Hoover said. This office
would have preferred a little more
tact used In the case. The operator
who undoubtedly recognized MIR.
Henry and knew he was chief clerk,
should have permitted the man to
ride and then reported the matter
to u.s.
Ponsver has been transferred 10
the General Land Office.
Mr.. Henry, however, will probably
continue to press his request that
elevators and operators in the Patent
Office be put directly under his
charge. Mr.. Henry desires that his
orders to the operators be-obeyed.
Saturday, Ponsyer refused to obey
Mr.. Henry when he told him to leave
the elevator and he further declined
to permit Mr.. Henry to assign an.
other man to operate the lift.

AMERICAN COLONY IN BRAZIL

Few Americans know that If they
were to go to the city of Sac Paulo
in Brazil and then travel north one
hundred miles they would find there
city with the significant name Of
Villa Americana. Here they would
find a colony of former Americans
that left the southern states after
the close of the Civil War A lit
tie investigation will show that
these voyagers landed at Rio de
Janeiro April %, 1867, and after
some negotiations obtained large
tract of land from the Brazilian
government. On this land they
started town known as Xirica.
Soon, however, they decided to
move to their present location,
| which is better in every way.
The elevation is about three
/ thousand feet above the level of
the sea, and the climate is ideal.
There is really no extremely hot
weather, nor is there any frost. A
blanket is comfortable throughout
the summer nights. The Amer
leans did nor sattempt to cultivate
coffee. which''is the great crop
throughout this district. Instead,
they confined their efforts to such
crops as they had been familiar
with in their former homes. Thus
they specialized in cotton. cane,
rice, and watermelons. This last
mentioned crop is the one that has
given the colony a reputation
throughout this part of Brazil.
When the watermelon harvest Is
on, long lines of wagons laden with
the luscious product are drawn up
near the shipping station. Hun
dreds Of cars are required to
handle the tens of thousands OF
magnificent specimens that are
shipped out to various cities thus
to carry the name and fame of Viii
