The annual dead letter sale is a sort of grab bag institution, in which the odds and erds of the whole universe scem to be gathered together. The one to take place, beginning the 18th instant, is no exception three schedules. The first,under the head of “miscellaneous articles,” comprises 6,228 separate articles or parcels. Under the head of books are scheduled 1,001 separate lots, and the third scheduie, “jewelry cludes 302 lots. Among the miscellaneous articles are such things as coffin plate: handke-chiefs, slippers and kinds of wearing apparel, music: instruments, playing cards, razors, cigar cases, electric belts, tobacco pipes, steels, hair curlers, autograph albums, scientific instruments, false hair, Catholic rosaries, pocket books, needles and thread, pillow shams, pen knives, dolls, photo- graphic views and pictures of all kinds, toys, poker outiits, fishing tackle, fans, valentines, trusses, tooth brushes, suspen- ders, pressed flowers, artists’ supplies, table Minen, Testaments, hair brushes, cartridges, shells and gun wads, typewriter ribbon, table ware and kitchen utensils, reticules, pin cushions, fine tooth combs, rubber type, tidies, cigars, shoes, caps, bonnet wire, fascinators, sachets, baskets, tea bells, dress trimmings, spy glasses, clock spring: pistols, shoe buttoners, collar buttons, min- eral specimens, coins and a great variety of other things, covering the range of articles which anyone could conceive it possible that postmaster, under the most liberal con- Struction of the postal regulations, would accept as mailable matter. ‘There are a thousand and one literary works offered, but it !s doubtful whether anyone would consider the list of value in helping one to make a selection of “a hun- dred best books.” There are more than a thousand and one books in the list, as many of the numbers represent lots.

Comments of the Papers on the Pres- ident’s Message. VIEWS OF REPRESENTATIVE JOURNALS Drift of the Views From the At- lantic to the Pacific —7—-—. PUBLISHED THIS MORNING. From the New York Press: Shorn of the usual cant about economy, of the author's scruples about “a generous and confiding people,” his barren solicitudes for “many of our people engaged in a hard struggle for the necessities of life,” and his egotistical assurances of “my willing support” for the advancement of “our be- loved country,” the document before us is as unusually interesting as it is ingeniously unsatisfactory. The country is plainly and bluntly informed that British free trade is directly before us, and that nothing so im- portant claims our attention. The New York Times commends Mr. Cleveland’s utterance on Hawaii a8 an “honorable purpose,” declares the pension reform, as outlined, “obviously true and sound,” and concludes: No message that Mr. Cleveland has sent to the national leg- islature has been more characteristic. or more sure to confirm the people's confi- dence in his soundness of judgment than this. We profoundly hope that before an- other message is required the country will be well advanced on the lines of right principle and sound policy which are here laid down. From the New York Herald. The dominant note of the President's message, sent to Congress yesterday, is prompt tariff revision. All the other mat- ters suberdinated to this. It is plain to see that Mr. Cleveland considers the suc- cess of this measure essential not only to the welfare of the ccuntry, but also the salvation of the democratic party, and that nothing can jeopardize its success more than the failure of democrats to rise above local considerations and unite in its sup- | port. From the New York Sun, | “Cleveland devotes ‘more space to what | he regards as an excessive purchase of seeds by the Department of Agriculture | than to the momentous enterprise of throne- building which he has undertaken in Ha- | wali, He devotes almost as many words to the condition of the North American In-| dian tribes as to the tariff, which occupied all of bis thoughts in ssi, and which has become, in 1803, an affair not merely of promises, but of performance. For thes Teasons, the message submitted yesterday | may fairly be criticised as unsatisfactory | in its range, if not actually evasive in its intention.” From the New York ‘Tribune. | “The first snow storm and the message | appropriately came together to warn peopie | that a hard winter was coming. In its | treatment of nearly ali domestic ques tions the message is creditable in charac ter, not more verbose than is usual for Mr. | Cleveland, and in the main reasonable in | fis suggestions. But the country will judge this message, and the President him- ly by the position he has taken | the question which most vitally affects the industries and the earnings of American workingmen.” the New York Recorder. The first annual message of President | Cleveland's second administration is the weakest and most difappointing state paper | that has come from his pen. ‘The message | is an insult to American common sense. | it is a menace to American labor and capital.” From the Philadelphia North American, After reading Mr. Cleveland's remarks upon finance and tariff retorm, candor com- pels us to say that the President h.~ missed the opportunity and lamentably failed in the discharge of his duty. From the Philadelphia Press, President Cleveland's message will com- pletely disappoint the country. Not in what it says, but in what it does not say, for a more tame, empty, inane message could not well be framed. Congress has rarely met with graver or more momentous qu tions demanding high statesmanship, com- prehensive grasp and sure dectsion. The country expected a virile and illuminating discussion of these transcendant subjects, which, whether approved or not, would at least ‘command respect by its vigor and | strength. Instead of such a positive and | robust treatment, we have nothing but a rapid summary of department re- ports, such as any chief clerk might have made. From the Philadelphia Times. e President Is very apt to do something else than what is generally expected, Six years ago he startled the country by an abrupt departure from established custom in confining his annual message to a single dominant topic, leaving the routine state- | ment of public business to the reports of the several departments. This year, when | it has been that his message would ntain some unusual political detiv rev tot custom. His me is a led statement of the operations of the government and the condition of pub- > business as he finds it. | the Philadelphia Record. ‘The message of the President to Congress is disappointing. It is a budget of interest- | i recapitulations of matt mainly | within the public kno but it is ex ceedingly barren -ecommenda- | tions.

The Bible and the Testa- ment are represented in this motley lterary gathering: medical books and law books, Phonographic hand-books, guide books and city directories are in considerable num- bers, but the great majority seem to come under the head of fiction.

Iford; officer of the | in Weidemam, M. J, Deacon |? to consult the department reports From the Philadcipaia Ingulrer, “The message, as a whole, is one of the weakest papers chat ever issued from the White House. It is totally devoid of cour- age or of a 3 nd the theory of tariff reform, and even on this topic, where so much was anticipated, the President talks as if he feared to speak his convic- tions. All through the document the im- pression is given that the President is try-) ing to hide behind the skirts of some one else—to threw all the responsibility upon Songress.”" From the Philadelphia Ledger. President Cleveland's first annual message to the fifty-third Congress is especially not- able for its compzehensiveness, and, in respect to those more important questions which in greater degree affect the whole) being of the nation, for the earnestnes sincerity and ability with which they presented and discussed. It was reasonably expected that Mr. Cleveland would have something interesting to say on the subject of Chinese registra- tion and deportation. On the contrary he dismisses it in a few brief paragraphs. Even more unsatisfactory is his treatment of the Hawaiian matter. What he has to say is an absolute withholding of infor- mation. The offense in thix message is the ignoring of the right of Congress to have any voice in the settlement of our foreign relations, including practically is- suing of a declaration of war upon and subverting a recognized government. The San Francisco Post is disappointed because the President has failed to enunci- ate a clear financial policy by offering a substitute for the law that was abrogated also because the Hawelian matter has had no new light cast upon it. The San Francisco Daily Report charges the President with ignoring the fact that the Hawaiian queen was removed by her own people for violating the constitution she has sworn to obey. Other points in the message which will also give rise to very opposite expressions of opinion, the Report says, are his suggestions that the strength of the United States army be de- creased, that ‘he time has come when ap- propriations for the building of new ships for the navy may be cut down; that the United States should not meddle’ in a%airs of Samoa, and that the Chinese are sincere in their expressed intention to obey the registration laws. From the Ch eo Tri ne. “An unusual amount of space is devoted by the President in his message to a state- ment of the information contained in the department reports, and particularly to the relations of the government with foreign powers. Though some of these relations have been of a perplexing nature, the Pres- ident is of the opinion that they ‘are not so embarrassing that they cannot be settled upon the basis of right and justice. There 1s one subject of diplomatic negotiation for information upon whtch the public will look anxiously, but, alas, in vain. Beyond ad- mitting that our relations with Hawail are embarrassed seriously, the President sheds no light upon the situation. He does not have as much to say on the subject of the tariff in his message as it was supposed he would, and what he does say could have been condensed into a brief recommenda- tion: ‘Please pass the Wilson bill without amendments.’ | intended 2 the LouisvHle Courter-Journal. The criticism to which President Cleve- jand’s message is open ts that it is too long, dealing too elaborately with the details of the department reports. Aside from this, it is a state paper with all the merits of earn- estness, directness and clearness which dis- Uinguish the public utterances of Mr. Cleveland. “Upon the three questions which are now of foremost interest—the questions of tariff reform, finance and our foreign relations— the President is explicit as to his attitude. From the Buffalo Conri President Cleveland’s views on the re- formation of the customs taxation are so well known that it was unnecessary for bim to elaborate them in his annual mes- sage, especially in view of the preparation and publication of the Wilson bill. The message belongs to a high rank of state papers. It is statesmanlike, conservative, patriotic. It will strengthen the confidence of thinking men in the prudence and wis- dom of the administration in dealing with our domestic affairs and our foreign re- lations, From the Buffalo Express. In general, the President’s message is merely formal and very uninteresting. It will disappoint greatly those who, remem- bering the famous message of 1887, expect- ed something of a similarly vigorous and sensational tone. The President has an- nounced no new policy. He has not even told his plans about the old policies. The greater part of his message is made up of statistics and extracts from the depart- mental reports, which had already been published. From the Chicago Herald. “The message sent yesterday by Presi- dent Cleveland to Congress is a simple and straightforward document. It is singularly free from rhetorical passages or platitudes. Each paragraph is a compact treatment of a theme or an aspect of one. The message is, in fact, a courteous business letter, con- veying a large mass of well arranged in- formation on practical concerns in whose discussion and dispossal the legislature must co-operate with the executive.” From the Boston Herald. President Cleveland’s message is of rea- sonable length, and it is concisely worded. It is clear and frank In statement, and when we say this we say what is equiva- lent to declaring it to be characteristic of its author. The message {s well writtén, which is likely to insure its general reading. It will increase the already strong confi- dence of the country in the man who is its author. From the Roston Globe. There is no mistaking the President's staynchness to his conviction. He stands firmly, as always, for the right as he sees it. There is no aid or comfort in the mes- sage for faint-heartedness or timidity in tartff legislation. Party considerations and the welfare of the multitudinous business interests of the country alike demand that the line of action indicated by Mr. Cleve- pene shall be carried out firmly and faith- ally. ‘The Boston Journal devotes its editorial comments to the tariff portions of the mes- | sage, and says after quoting the President's words as to the tariff reform pledges of the democratic party: “Here we have the fa- miliar wobbling and balancing from which almost any meaning might be inferred were it not that in this instance the Wilson bill furnishes a concrete and definite expression of the President's policy.” From the Balt e Sun. The true principles of tariff revision are succinctly stated and the President's hearty indorsement given to the bill which has been prepared by the ‘ways and means commitiee. Its treatment of foreign af. fairs is especially to be commended and asain recalls by way of contrast the ig- norant jingoism and blustering tone of some of the messages that have been sent to Congress since Mr. Cleveland last occu- pied the White House. Fi the Baltim American, President Cleveland’s message will be dis- appointing as well to his friends and ad- mirers as to his political opponents. Its construction is faulty, its tone carping and queruious and its diction will not give it rank with the majority of state papers which have come from the White House, nor with those heretofore written by Mr. Cleveland himself, His style, though some. what stilted, has generally been clear and pointed. From the Baltimore Herald. “Taken as a whole the document fs an abie state paper, and while {t covers a very ‘de field it is replete with suggestions which, if carried out, would place our national affairs on a firm and enduring basis.” cee LONDON PAPERS’ VIEWS. They Express Their Pleasare at the President's Views. The London Times says of the President’ message: “The message exhibits clear and well-seasoned views of policy as well as much force of character. The portions bear- Ing upon foreign affairs are conceived in a highly creditable spirit and adequate sense of the national dignity, combined with a sincere desire of peace and a careful regard | for the rights and susceptibilities of other countries. The friendly expressions em- ployed in mentioning the Questions pending between the United States and the United | Kingdom repeat the dominant feeling as well as the paramount interests in both.” The Times commends with special warmth the President’s policy toward Hawaii. The Standard says: “Mr. Cleveland has stood for reform Ike a rock. No words arer in dealing with the thorny ion and no attitude could be American standpoint. his cabinet have cho u tr position with remarkable shrewdness. ir policy divides and demoralizes the y at the beginning of the battle. It is tself to the Morning Post says: ‘There is no In- om in it of party exultation. Mr. c and leaves his countrymen to draw th al- inferences from the facts detailed, nearly every paragraph would be ading If printed in parallel ome of Mr. Harrison's high- though instr columns with sounding oratio | ‘The Daily News say The message is well worthy of the great national crisis in which it is delivered. The inference from the President's facts and figures, whether r not, is that Ic is the true policy of the United States to cultivate close re- lations with the eld home and extend and strengthen the commercial {ntercourse ot the two nations.” The Daily sistency. A TROPHY FOR BILLIARD EXPERTS. A Handsome Prize to Be Competed for by All the Experts. In order to bring about an international billiard mateh for the championship of the world between Piot, Garnier and Vignaux, the famous Freach experts, and Frank Ives, Jacob Schaefer and George Slosson, the proprietor of a New York sporting newspaper has decided to offer a valuable billiard trophy to represent the billiard championship of the world. The trophy will be open to every billiard player in the world to compete for, provid- ing he complies with the rules, After the trophy has been competed for and won the successful competitor will be compelled to defend the trophy against all challengers and accept all bona-fide challenges and either accept or fcrfeit the title of cham- pion and the trophy. ‘The trophy will become the personal prop- erty of any billiard player who shall win it three times in succession or hold it three years against all comers. CRAZED BY FOOT BALL. After an Exciting Discussion of the Game Dennis Dean's Reason Fled. Dennis Dean, a well-known hotel keeper at Atlantic City, has become insane over football. He has been a wild enthusiast over the game, and recently his friends ob- served that he acted queerly. Saturday afternoon his mind gave way entirely just after a heated discussion over football. He rushed into the Good ‘Will Hook and Ladder Company’s house and seized an ax from the truck. He flourished the weapon threateningly and tried to strike the fire- men. He was -disarmed after a struggle and allowed to depart. Dean then secured a pistol, and, going into the saloon of Thomas Kilcourse, at- tempted to blow out his brains. He’ was taken into custody by a police officer and put under lock and k City Phy n Ulm examined him and gave it as his opinion that the man’s reason ad entirely fled. In his ravings Dean talks ontinually of “touch-downs,” “punts” and other football feature soe Princeton's Next Year Team. A Princeton, N. J., special says: The elec- tion of a captain for next year is now the subject of interest in Princeton foot bail circles, That Trenchard will be re-elected there is little doubt. He has proved to be an able captain and deserves to be re-elect- ed. All the team, with the exception of Blake, King and Balliet, are under-class men, and will return next year. King and Balliet will be back. If they do not play they will return to coach. Blake may re- turn to take a postgraduate course. phic compliments Mr.Cleve- | |tand upon his continued firmness and con- LIGHT HOUSE BOARD. Recommendations Made in its An- nual Report. MATTERS THAT ARE OF LOCAL INTEREST. Lights and Buoys in the Chesa- apeake Bay. NTERESTING FACTS. The report of the light house board for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1893, was to- day made public. A detailed statement of the work done in each of the sixteen light house districts shows that the board has brought the numerous and varied aids to ravigation under its charge up to the proper standard, and has done all that was possible with the funds’ provided to meet the requirements of commerce and naviga- tion, The board renews its recommendation that steps be taken to prohibit the estab- lishment and maintenance of private lights and buoys in navigable waters of the United States, except in such cases as the consent of the board is given. The board again recommends the appro- priation of $15,000 for the erection of oil houses, hopes for an increase in light sta- tions this year, and asks that the appro- priation for that purpose be increased to $410,000. In speaking of the salaries of light house keepers the report says that the present force is too small; the men are overworked and cannot put the complicated fog signal- ing and lighting mechanism at work in proper time. A higher grade of skill is re- quired to care for and operate the delicate mechanism, and that involves higher sala- ries. But even to employ a sufficient num- ber of men of the present grade of ability will require an appropriation of $680,000, an increase of $10,000, to be divided among 1,200 Keepers. ‘An appropriation of $300,000 is requested for the maintenance of light vessels, and $300,000 is asked for expenses of buoyage. ‘Three hundred and fifty thousand dollars, it is estimated, will be required to properly light the rivers of the country this year. The bourd urgently recommends the pas- sage of the bill now before Congress ap- propriating $150,000 to provide and main- tain communication by telegraph or tele- | phone between light ships, light houses and life saving stations on the coast. The gas buoys experimented with, the report says, proved satisfactory, and an appropriation of $30,000 is recommended for ten gas buoys of large size. In Local Waters. In regard to the service at points along the Chesapeake bay and the coast in the district which includes this board has the foliowing to say _ Some difficulty and much delay were ex- perienced in acquiring title to the land need- Hog Island. The deed was not executed un- finally passed upon by the United States attorney up to the date of his resignation in April. His successor is now engaged upon a review of the papers, and it is ex- pected that a decision will soon be had. Meanwhile plans for the proposed wharf have been prepared, so that there may be no unnecessary delay after the site shall have been secured. The plans for a struct- ure of the same class as that at Cape “harles, Va., to be built of iron, had al- ready been completed. Contracts were made for both these structures, and the construc- tion of the ironwork was commenced. Ne- gotiations are progressing for the acquisi- tion of a new site for the Hog Island light station. The owner of the needed land of- fers to exchange it for the present light house tract, although it is inferior in value. It is recommended that Congress be asked to grant the necessary legislation to au- thorize the exchange, as the government will be benefited thereby. By act approved March %, 1883, Congress appropriated $80,000 for replacing bya first-order light the fourth-order light now at Hog Island, and authorized contract therefor to the amount , of $125,000. The board now recommends | | of the $125,000—that is, for $95,000—that Hog Islana light house may be duly com- pleted. Lambert Point Ught, Elizabeth river, Vir- ginia, was of little or no value because of its obstruction by the coal piers of the Nor- folk and Western railroad, and of its being overpowered by the electric lights. The light was discontinued, therefore, on De- cember ‘31, NZ. The recommendation is renewed that | proper measures be taken for establishing | range lights at Dollers Point to guide ves- | | sels through the narrow and shallow chan- | j nels known as Goose Hill slough, between Hog Island and Jamestown Isiand; also for | the establishmeni of an inexpensive Nght jon the whart at Hog Island, to lead the way | through another diiticult channel from Deep Water shoals light to the north point of | Hog Island, where an abrupt turn is made | to enter Goose Hill stough.

Several Rendered Yesterday on Im- portant Topics of General Interest. The Supreme Court yesterday handed down a number of important decisions. Justice Brewer rendered the opinion of the court in the case of the United States against John S. and Joseph Lees, who were fined $1,000 in Pennsylvania for violation of the alien contract labor law. The justice held that the Supreme Court had found the law to be constitutional, but the court be- low had erred in compelling the defendants to give testimony in favor of the govern- ment in a criminal charge against them. A new trial was ordered. Chief Justice Fuller announced that the court pipheld the contention of the United States that the invention of Philip McAleer of a perforating paper device,while he was an | employe of the bureau of engraving and printing, is the property of the government and that he has no claim for royalties on its use. Justice Jackson read the decision of the | court in the case of the Columbia Mil! Com- pany of Minnesota against W. W. Alcorn & Co., involving the law of trade marks. The court held that the decisions of the court | Show the following fundamental proposi- tions to be valid: 1. That to acquire the right to the ex- clusive use of a trade mark it must appear that it was adopted for the purpose of iden- tifying the origin or ownership of the article to which it was attached, or that such trade mark must point distinctively to the origin, manufacture, or ownership of the article on which it is stamped. It must be designed, as its primary object and purpose, to indi- cate the owner or producer -of the com- modity, and to distinguish it from lke articles manufactured by others. 2. That if the device was adopted for the purpose of identifying the grade of the article, or for any purpose other than a reference to or indication of its ownership, it cannot be sustained as a valid trade mark. 3. That the exclusive right to the use of the device is founded upon the priority of appropriation. 4. Such trade mark cannot consist of words in common use as designating local- ity, section, or region of country. The court held that there was no valid trade mark in the word “Columbia,” and | the judgment of the court below was there- fore affirmed. . The Chief Justice announced that the jcourt could not entertain the appeal of | Powell and others of Virginia, who sued in the lower court to enjoin the supervisors | of Rrunswick county and the officers of the Richmond and Danville Railroad ‘Company from selling certain bonds of the company. ———_-2.—______ AN ELECTRIC LIGHT PLANT.
