A Broken -Hearted Inventor Whose Ideas Had Been Anticipated. “May I engage you in conversation a min- ute, sir? It will be to your advantage and enlightenment. The speaker was a man about sixty-five years of age, well but cheaply clad, with a furtive glance and a face that bespoke care and privation. He was standing in the model room at the patent office and was addressing a stranger. Under his left arm he carried a bundle from the ends of which protruded cog Wheels and shafting. He was an inventor—that was plain; a dis- appointed one—that was evident. From Kansas he came to get a patent on a de- vice that would revolutionize agriculture. His story differed only in minor details from hundreds of others which never reach the public, but rankle in the breasts of the disappointed one until he dies. Labor-sav- ing devices were practically unknown to him. He came from the backwoods, and when he thought of how much better a machine could plant corn than a human being he proceeded to devise such a ma- chine. At length success crowned his ef- forts. The wooden model gave way to a real machine, which did the work so well that the old inventor forgot his past trou- bles and looked out upon a future bright with prospects. Most zealously did he guard his secret, and came to Washington at the expense of great privation. But he was behind time. Two years ago a similar device was patented and is now in universal use. The old inventor was brokenhearted over the discovery that his invention had been anticipated so long ago. “How could it be?” he exclaimed. “That was before I thought of it. Ah, originality in these days is a sunbeam,” he sighed. “You bask in its beauty and plead for it to remain, but it leaves you; leaves you watching and waiting. My idea was work- ed out before it was conceived by me. I have been subjected to the torture of hope, keen enough for a young man—heartbreak- ing for an old one. I am going back to the prairies. My old brain is sluggish My ambition is dead.” —_+-o+_______ Title Given John Brisben Walker. The Secretary of the Interior has ren- dered a decision in favor of John Brisben Walker in his suit against the Union Pa- cific railroad for the possession of fourteen acres of land in the suburbs of Denver. Originally the property belonged to the Denver Pacific railroad, which the Union Pacific succeeded. The property passed eventually to Mr. Walker. It was after- ward discovered that the railroad had no right to sell it, and the suit was for a patent under the act of Congress providing for the issuance of patents to bona fide purchasers of land from railroad compa- nies. —_—____eo.—___ Increased Past Office Receipts, The increased receipts of the Post Office Department for November are taken’ as a further indication of increasing prosperity.

Daniel Corbin, a well-known negro char- acter, who keeps an “eating” house on North St. Asaph street, was before Mayor Simpson this morning charged with keep- ing a speak easy. Some time ago Officer Knight received information that Dan was selling whisky without a license. He went to work on the case and yesterday suc- ceeded in obtaining evidence to that effect. Six witnesses testified to the fact that they had purchased whisky in Dan's place, each cn more than one occasion. After hearing the evidence the mayor fined Corbin $10, with the alternative of serving thirty days navy yard. The point at issue rel: the official treatment of reports conc repairs to vessels at the New York yard. Admiral Sieard requires such reports to be made to him for refe ce to the D y De- partment. On the other hand, Commodore Bunce insists that the reports should be made to him and forwarded by him to the a iment. To support his position, he quotes article 1640 of the val regulations, providing that “ships in mmission at a navy yard for any purpe s| i, from ar. ri 1 until departur the com- mand of the comman Friends of the comme Admiral & dant contend saat ship of his fleet is he regulations pro- on the gang.

The election of officers of Potomac Lodge, No. 38, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, will take place in the lodge rooms at the lodge meeting Friday night. ———— Defense of Seaports. A board of engineer officers, with Col. Robert as chairman, has been ordered to report a project for the defense of seaports not included in the general scheme of coast defenses now in course of .construction. Their report for the better protection of de- fenseless points will undoubtedly call for additional appropriations from Congress. ‘The work of the board is entirely independ- ent of that of the army board considering the question of garrisons for the fortifica- tions now under construction. Countries of the Greater Republic of Central Americ Official information has been received here that the countries of the Greater Re- public of Central America ure about to ex- tend their union so as to give it all th: at- tributes of a sovereign nation. At present the three countries forming the union— Nicaragua, Salvador and Honduras—have a diet which conducts diplomatic relations with the outer world, while each country maintains its own separate government of internal affairs. This has created the im- pression that the Greater Republic Was merely an alliance of three republics, but not a republic in itself. It has been the chief cause of trouble in sending ministers from the United States to Central America. In view of this feeling, Senor Corea, the representative in Washington of the Great- er Republic, wrote to the secretary of the diet asking for authority to state tuat the government was to be more than an alli- ance. In reply, the secretary, Mr. Mendoza, writes to Mr. Corea that a complete union is about to be formed. It will be no longer a union for diplomatic intercourse only, open to the criticism of being an alliance. but will be a fusion of all the interests of the several governments into one sovereign state. Mr. Corea has not been informed as to the details of this com; union, but he says he believes it will accomplished by February, if not earlier.
