A regular blizzard has been raging for several days in Nebraska, New York's annual horse show is low on. . A delegation of negro clergymen have asked Mayor Gilroy to appoint a colored man to a vacancy on the New York school board, but the mayor intimated that the request would nut be granted. Great activity in Mexican military circles leads to the iuipressiuu thut war with Guatemala is sure to come in the near future. Troops are being sent to the frontier. Czar Alexander was bnried Monday at St. Petersburg. Charles Knapp, one of the sect called Carterites at Thorutoa, Mich., went crazy while lis-tening to Carter, the pseodo messiah.

Andover, a little town in New York, is greatly worked up over the blowing np of a building by dynamite and the finding of a charge under auoter build ing.

The Portuguese in Santa Clara valley celebrated the Feast of the Holy Ghost at Sauta Clara the other day.

Ethel Farley, a 15-year-old girL dis appeared from the Horace Maun gram mar school of San Francisco a few days ago and no trace of her can be found. She was reprimanded by her teacher for something she did not do, aud thinking he was disgraced she wrote a note to her mother saying she could not live nnder the disgrace. It was first thought the girl had committed suicide, but as no evidence of such an act on her part has been found it is supposed she has run away. Ethel is a very pretty girL, tall and well formed. Her face is some what round and she has very attractive dark-brown eyes and a fine complexion. Her hair is dark and short and is gener ally curled. When l.vt seen she was dressed as follows: She bad ou a light or grayish plaid skirt of woolen goods, with a little red in it. It was bound with two rows of navy blue trimming, a navy blue waist made with a yoke. Her dress came a little above ber shoe tops. She wore a white sailor hat trimmed with black velvet. A patent case was argued in the su preme court at Washington the other day which involves hundreds of millions of dollars. The case itself is not impor tant, but it involves the construction of law that will affect many invaluable patents. It will also put au end to, or further extend, several grinding monop olies. The case is that of the Bate Re frigerating company of 15 Wall street, New York, against Ferdinand Sulzber ger, a butcher, and the lawyers em ployed are James C. Carter, Wheeler H. Peckham, General Benjamin H. Eris tow, Charles E. Mitchell. ex-PateLt Commissioner and ex-Solicitor General Charles A. Aldricb, and J. J. Starrow, the deeply learned and sagacious attor ney of the Bell Telephone company. This is an amazing display of legal tal ent and the reason for it is this: The Bell Telephone company, nnder the dis guise of a little concern with a refriger ating patent, is fighting desperately be fore the last court for 14 years more of life, for 14 years more of f3.000.000 an nual profits, and, wearing the colors of a butcher, Sulzberger and his lawyers stand for those who are trying to de stroy the monopoly and wrest from it for themselves and in a purely incidental manner for the people part of its enor mous gains. The principle at stake iu this case, that has been almost con cluded without public-attention, is far reaching and involves not only the enor mous interests that aro fighting the bat tle, bnt also scores of immensely profit able patents, millions of dollars of roy alties that will exist or will not exist ac cording as this battle goes. The princi ple is this: Does a pateut right, granted in the United States, expire with expira tion of the foreign patent of shortest term, granted before the United States pateut is applied for, or does it expire with the foreign patent of shortest term granted after the United States patent is granted? If the first proposition is true, the Bell Telephone company pat ents are dead ; if not, then all opposi tion to this monopoly will be crushed. James Sheakley, governor of Alaska, has submitted his annual report to the secretary of the interior of the general conditions of the territory. He says: "Notwithstanding the unfavorable cli matic conditions of the spring and early summer months, many new enterprises were entered upon and old ones com pleted. The fisheries have been useful and the mines havo yielded profitable returns ; the population has been largely augmented by immigration, and the people have enjoyed a season of progress and prosperity. The civil officers have been vigilant and faithful in the dis charge of their duties, mid in view of the extent of the territory over which they exercise authority and the absence of transportation nd other facilities in dispensable for the execution of law, crime is less frequent and law and order quite aa well enforced as in some of the more densely populated and highly civ ilizad communities. The building of sawmills and the manufacturing of lum ber in the territory have revolutionized and improved the manner of construct ing habitations in all of the villages. A Quarter Century Test.

Interesting Items ricked Out from tn Iaily IMnpatflics. The silver men in the senate propose to harraas both Democrats and Repul licans at the coming session. This is ad mitted by Senator Stewart, who does not anticipate being able to do more than to stir np trouble while President Cleveland is in power. It is rumored that Admiral Walker's report on the situation in Hawaii very much displeased the preside, and caused him to ask the secretary of the navy to change the orders assigning the admiral to the position of superintond ent of the naval academy which Walker so much desired. - The bills now on the senate calendar providing for free suar, iron ore and coal are sure to be called up for consid eration in the upier branch of congress the coming session, whether President Cleveland so recommends or not iu his annual message. Senator Harris, who was in charge of the tariff fight on the part of the Democrats of the senate at the la.t session, will call these bills np soon after congress reconvenes. Paymaster General Smith in his an nual report to the secretary of war calls attention to the fact that the soldiers' deposits have increased $70,5b2 during the year, a gratifying increase in view of the fact that the deposits had been falling off in preceding years, and of the further. fact that a soldier with a deposit account rarely leaves the service with out an honorable discharge. The pay master general questions the beneficial effect of the system of withholding a portion of the soldier's pay until he is discharged. Representative Bellamy Storer of the committee on foreign affairs in the bouse intends presenting to congress when it reassembles a resolution of in quiry as to the action of Secretary Gres ham in suggesting to China and" Japan that this country will act as mediator in the settlement of the present war. The resolutions when drawn will ask for in formation as to what departure, if any, from the traditional policy of the gov ernment, as embodied in the Monroe doctrine, is contemplated by the executive- branch in becoming a factor in Asiatic entanglements. Miss Maud Schermerhom, a dining room girl employed in the Patterson house at Harper, Kan., performed an act of bravery during the burning of the hotel which many men would have hesi tated to perform. She was awakened by the smoke and flaines, and though half suffocated she broke a window and threw her roommate oat and jumped out herself. After recovering she broke another window, and bleeding from many cuts and bruises she crawled on her hands and knees through the halls and aroused every guest. As she reached the last room she became unconscious, and the gentleman last awakened stum bled over her body as he rushed from his room. He dragged the brave girl to the air and she was resuscitated. THE FASHION PLATE. English corduroy and bedforxl cor&j are 6till very popular fabrics. There is a great display of flow-red and satin striped moires designed fcr elegant winter gowns. The closely woven but modiuin weight wools are the very best fabrics for utility gowns for the autumn tad winter. Many ermine trimmed capes of vcl-tet- or fine Venetian cloth lined with latin brocade are exhibited by leading city importers. Jet garnitures are used in prof asion both in dress and millinery. They are conspicuous this season ou all sorts of wraps and gown a. It is sail observed that at full dress entertainments the low slippers or Free oh sandals more frequently match the gloves in color than the gown. Braiding in intricate designs is used upon natty coats for youthful wearers, made of Russian green, marine blue, auburn brown and pale tan cloths sev erally. Aided by the numberless models in capes and jackets, the transition from autumn to winter will be stylishly and attractively effected by the new direc toire rcdingoto. Besides being used for entire gowns or parts of the costume, the new per forated cloths are employed for trim ming the bodice and bordering the ukirt hem or overskirt The reps of the now shot and ribbed velvets are softer and richer looking than over, but the chief distinguishing feature is found in tbo exquisite mix ture of color effected in tbo weaving. Beef eater crowns are again fashion able with either flat or rolled brims, and like the long popular English walk ing hats are trimmed with a simplicity which should characterize all hats in tended for -utility purposes.
