PRIZES ON PATENTS,
How to Get Twentv-five Hundred
Dollars for Nothing,
The Winner has a clear Gift of a Small
Fortune, and the Loser Have Patents
that may Bring them In Still More.
Would you like to make twenty-five hundred
dollars? If you would, read carefully what
follows and you may see a way to do It.
The Press Claims Company devotes much
attention to patents. It has haudled thousands
of applications for Inventions, but it would
like to handle thousands more. There is plenty
of inventive tallent at large"In this country
needingnothlng but encouragement to produce
practical results. That encouragement the Press
Claims Company propose to give.
NOT SO HAItO AS IT SEEMS.
A patent strikes most people as an appalling
ly formidable thing. The idea is that an in
ventor must be a natural genius, like Edison or
Bell; that he muBt devote ycarB to delving in
complicated mechautcal problems and that he
must spend a fortune on delicate experiments
before he can get a new device to a patentable
degree of perfection. This delusion the com
pany desires to dispel. It desires to get into
the head of the public a cieur comprehension
of the fact that it is not the great, complex, and
expensive inventions that bring the best returns
to their authors, but the little, simple, and
cheap oues the things that seem so absurdly
trivial that the average citizen would feel
somewhat ashamed of bringing them to the
attention of the Pit tent Oflice.
Edison says that the profits he has received
trom the patents on all his marvelous inven
tions ave not been sufficient to pay ine cost
of his experiments. But the man who con
ceived the Idea of fastening a bit of rubber
cord to a child's ball, so that it would come
back to the hand when thrown, made a fortune
out of his scheme. The modern sewing-machine
is a miracle of ingenuity the product
a hundred and fifty years, but the whole bril
liant result rests upon the simple device of
putting the eye of the needle at the point In
stead of at the other end.
of the toil of hundreds of busy brains through
THEUTTLETHlNiiS THE MOST
VALUABLE.
Comparatively few people regard themselves
as inventors, but almost every body has been
truck, atone time or another, with ideas that
seem calculated to reduce some of the little
frictions of life. Usually such ideas are dis
missed without further thought.
Why don't the railroad company make its car
windows so that they can be slid up and down
with DUt breaking the passengers' back?" ex
claims the traveler, "If I were running the
road I would make them in such a way."
"What was the man who made the saucepan
thinking of?" grumbles the cook,. "He never
had to work over a stow, or he would have
known how it ought to have been fixed."
"Hang such a collar button !' growls a man
who Is late;for breakfast. "If I were in the
business I'd make buttons that wouldn't slip
out, or break off, or gouge out the back of my
neck
And tbe various sufferers forgot about their
grievances and began to think of something
else. If they would Bet down the next con-
windows, saucepans and collar buttons into
practical shape, and then apply for patents
they might find themselves as independently
wealthy as the man who invented the iron
umbrella ring, or the one who patented
he fifteen puzzle.
A TEMPTING OITtK.
To Induce the people to keen trackjof their
bright Ideas and see what there iu them, the
Press Claims Company has resolved to offer a
I rize .
To the person who submits to it
the simplest and most promising
invention, from a. commercial
point of view the company will
give twenty-five hundred dollar 4
iu cash, In addition to refunding:
the fees for securing a patent
t will also advertise the inven.
tion freeof charge
This offer is subject to the following condi
tions:
Every competitor must obtain a patent for
his invention through the company. He must
first apply for a preliminary search, the coBt of
which will be five dollars. Should this
seach show his invention to be unpatentable,
he cau withdraw without further expense.
Otherwise he will be expected to complete his
application and take out a patent in the regu
lar way. The total expense, including the
Government and Bureau fees, will be seveuty
dollars. For this, whether he secures a prize
or uot, the inventor will have a patent that
ought to be a valuable property to him. The
prize will be awarded by a Jury consisting of
three reputable patent attorneys of Washing
ton. Intended competitors should fill out the
following blank, and forward It with their
application:
I submit the within described invention in
competition for the Twenty-five hundred Dollar
Prize offered by the Press Claims Company."
0 BLANKS IN THIS TOIVI PETION.
This is a competition of rather an unusul na
ture. . It is common to offer prizes for the best
story, or picture, or architectural plan, all the
competitors risking the loss of their labor and
the successful one merely selling his for the
amoun of the prize. ' But the Press Claims
Company's) offer is something entirely differ
ent. Each person Is asked merely to help him
self, and f he one who helps him self to the
be a advantage is to be rewarded by doing it.
The prize is only a stimulus to do something
that would be well worth doing without it.
The architect whose competitive plan fur a
club bouse on a certain corner is not occupi
ed has spent his labor on something of very
tttle use to him. But the person who patents a
simple and useful device In the Press Claims
Company's competition, need not worry if he
fail to secure a prue. He has a substantial
result to show ior nis worn one that wil
command Its value m the marke at any
time.
The man who uses any article In It Ik dwlly
work ought to know better now to improve it
than the mechanical expert who htudies it
OUlv from the tht-ornticiil nnint of view. (,t

An Ancient llrltmli I'lUnga.
An interesting discovery was recently
made at Glastonbury, Somersetshire, of
the remains of an ancient lake village.
From sixty to seventy low mounds, ris
ing from one to two feet above the sur-'
rounding soil, and from twenty to thirty
feet across wero found on the level moor
which stretches to the liritish channel.
A section of the mounds revealed mor
ticed oak beams, resembling those of
the well-known palisades of the cran
nogs of Scotland, and well-defined stra
ta of clay, charcoal and ashes. The
total thickness of these beds was three
feet six inches, and within them were
detected three separate hearths, super
imposed one above the other. Uronze
objects, four fibulie of the La Tenc type,
and massive spiral nnger rings were
discovered among the relics, with a few
objects of iron too much corroded to
determine what they were intended for.
Numerous objects of bone, an abun
dance of pottery, much broken, and or
ganic remains, including beans, wheat,
rye, nutshells and a large number of
bonis, presumably of domestic animals.
were also discovered. The remains have
been assigned to the "Late Celtic"
period.

Two boys "of respectable parentage"
in western New York have offered to
walk to Chicago and to camp on the ex
position grounds with the purpose of il
lustrating the life of tramps'and of lec
turing on its vicissitudes.
Down on one of the riverside streets
in New York city the other day a "here-y'-are-now"
fakir was croaking th? vir
tues of the balsam that would cure any
cough or cold in an hour. He did a fair
business, too, and the funny part of the
thing was that he was so hoarse himself
that he could hardly bawl.
After a burglar in a San Francisco
clothing store had packed up two va
lises of goods he came face to face with
his reflection in a large mirror, fired
five shots into the image, thinking it
was the watchman, and barely escaped
before the arrival of the policemen,
whom his shots summoned.
A MAN who is never seen without a
cane (unless it is raining, aud then he
carries an umbrella) explained that he
carried a stick because until he adopted
the habit he was always leaving his
umbrella. Now he has become so ac
customed to having something in his
hand that he never forgets his umbrella.

"Tipping" In Europe.
The trouble over "tips" in American
hotels and restaurants would be large
ly obviated if the European system of
percentages prevailed here. No French
man pays extravagantly for the ex
cellent meals he gets in Paris, but as
every Frenchman pays something, the
waiter is satisfied. All over Europe it
is the custom to give the waiter a
gratuity amounting to one-twentieth
of the bill that he presents. lie gets a
five-cent tip for a one-dollar meal.
Here a man is often expected to pay a
twenty-five-eent tip for a seventy-five-
cent meal, particularly when he gets
in a summer hotel. In America the
tips aie large, the returns indifferent.
In Europe a small but hxed gratuity
secures the best service. The European
waiter is not paid by the landlord. He
often pavs for his place.

It is probably not known to the gen

A STRANGE MOCK TRIAL.
Conducted by Six Murderer., All of Whom
Were L'nder Sentenoe of Death.
The most singular trial on record
was that held in the Tombs a few years
ago, says the New Y'ork Press. It was
a trial by jury in which the court and
the counsel were composed of men un
der sentence of death and literally liv-
ing In the shadow of the gallows.
After the attempted escape of Danny
Lyons and Danny Driscoll had been
frustrated Warden Osborne conceived
and carried into execution a scheme
which made like attempts out of the
question. Murderers' row in the old
building was vacated and the ground
floor of the left corridor in the new "ten
day" house fitted up for the reception
and safe keeping of those doomed to
death according to law. The war
den's idea was a novel one. He
had a screen of strong wire built from
between each cell's door to tlfe win
dows on the opposite side of the corri
dor. This gave each convict a separate
space to walk in for exercise. The
death-watch occupied chairs between
each screen and the men were con
stantly in their sight. It also allowed
them to see each other and their visit
ing friends and to converse when they
felt in that mood. The first to occupy
the cells were six men convicted of
murder in the first degree and sen
tenced to be hanged in the Tombs.
They were Giblin, l'ackcnham, Caro
lin, Lewis, Nolan and Carleton. They
were all executed except Giblin, who
killed a baker named Getz. His sen
tence was commuted to imprisonment
for life. Carleton, who was known by
the sobriquet of "Handsome Harry,"
who shot and killed Officer Ilrennan,
was the last to be hanged and was the
last one executed in the Tombs.
Sunday is always the dullest day in
the Tombs, for no visitors are admit
ted, and the condemned were left to
their own sad thoughts. Giblin pro
posed that they try one of their num
ber by jury, and Carolin, who chopped
his unfortunate wife to death with a
hatchet, was singled out to be tried,
wife with'a pair of scissors, WKS made
judge; Giblin, district attorney; Carle
ton, counsel for the defense, and Lewis
and Nolan the jury. After the consent
of Deputy Sheriff Caraher was given
the trial proceeded, every part of the
judicial programme being minutely
carried out, even to putting Carolin on
the stand to testify in his own behalf.
Hut despite the argument of Carlnton
that it could only be manslaughter and
not murder, the jury found him guilty
without leaving their seats. The ef
fect on Carolin, the doputy sheriff said,
was painful and pitiful to witness. He
never raised his eyes while "Old man"
Pecltenham sentenced him to die on
the 20th of August, 1889. From that
day he seemed to weaken and the au
thorities were afraid he would break
down completely. Fathers Pendergast
and Galenas, with the sisters, who
were daily in attendance, tried to com
fort and rally him, but without avail.
The verdict of his fellows had almost
killed him. K
FAMILIAR AT WASHINGTON.
Wilson Bihbell is a much larger man
than Grover Cleveland. He weighs
over three hundred pounds, but he is
an able lawyer and a good partner.
President Fillmohe, who was a Uuf-
falonian, took his law partner into his
cabinet as postmaster general. Mr.
Cleveland, another Buffalonian, did
likewise.
Ex-Senatoh William M. Evauts has
just rounded out three-quarters of a
century of life, lie is less active in the
pursuit of his profession than formerly,
and spends much of his time at his Ver
mont farm.
Although ex-President Harrison is
probably the most enthusiastic pedes
trian that has ever occupied the white
house, he is reported to have gained
perceptibly in weight during the last
four years.
Cleveland was the only president to
deliver his inauguration address ex
tempore. Fillmore made no inaugural.
Garfield was the first president to make
any political speeches in a foreign
tongue. German was used.
Mil. Hi. aink's fortune had itsorigin in
tracts of land in western Pennsylvania
which were left him by his father, who
had, in turn, inherited them from the
elder,.Ianies G. Itlaine. A tract of coal
land near the Monongahela river was
the most valuuble of these possessions.
FOREIGN HAPPENINGS.
Numerous valuable coins belonging
to the Macedonian period have been
dug up near Athens..
Packs of wolves have appeared at
Belgrade and other towns in Servia. At
Pozurewatz. a girl was devoured by the
famished brutes, and stories of similar
tragedies have come from various parts
of Europe.
A poor French peasant woman whoso
husband was seriously wounded by a
German forester on the Alsatian fron
tier has refused to accept the indemnity
of 2,500 francs offered her by the Ger
man government.
One of the largest forests in the
world stands on ice. It is situated be
tween Ural and the Okhotsk sea. A
well was recently dug in this region,
when it was found that at a depth of
340 feet the ground was still frozen.
