They Will Be in Charge of Mr. Ed- ward Rruce Moore, Who Will Sail Next Thursday. The patent office exhibit at the Paris ex- position in thirty big boxes and embracing in all 208 models has left the United States. On the 20th of March Principal Examiner E. B. Moore, who has been placed in charge of the exhibit, Will sail on the Teuraine and immediately upon his arrival set up the contribution of the patent office to the great educational exposition. The exhibit of the United States patent office will not be time given, the striven to make a credits showing. Every one is satisfied the United States £dward Bruce Moore. Photograph by Parker. will not be ashamed of the patent office, which, through its display of models, will reflect the inventive genius of America, ac- knowledged the peer of the world. It was decided after consideration to install a new character of exhibit at Paris. Heretofore when the patent office has been called upon to contribute something Interesting to expo- sitions, it has invariably sent the time-hon- ored models of the early inventors. They have already been seen by our foreign friends at Paris, and this year it was de- cided to give them something different. American electrical genius is recognized the world over, and it was deemed wise and novel to confine this year’s exhibit to models representing the basic principles of @ectricity as applied to the arts and com- Merce. The plans of the office were seri- ously interfered with by the Attorney Gen- eral, who decided, in an opinion called forth by a query from the commissioner of pat- ents, that the law forbids the deportation of models outside the country. It was con- sidered a wise decision, since many of the models are frequently’ called for by the court In considering legal causes. The pro- jectors of the plan, nothing daunted, hur- ried to Congress, and by special act se- cured permission to remove the models nec: ary to make the exhibit. The bill passed too late to permit the of- fice to make any extensive exhibit, and for that reason the display of models was nec- essarily curtailed. But the exhibit prom- ises to be one of the most interesting in the building devoted to mechanics and electricity, which has a favored place on the court of honor. The early patents of “Wizard Edison and his first models of electrical devices which have revolutionized the mechanical ill be exhibited, as well as the first models of such other famous inventors in electricity as Brush, Thompson-Houston, Maxim, &c. The first’ electric motor filed in the patent office, the conception of the late Joseph Henry of the Smithsonian Institute, will be among the interesting exhibits. This was made in 1834. Then there will be shown the early electrical propelling ma- chinery of T. Davenport, dated in 1837, when such thoughts were considered va- garies of an unbalanced mind. The first invent . will be display locomotive of Ri 5 later achieved wealth and fame in the e of the Czar of Rus The famous first of Its whi empi old John Bull locomotive class, will be taken by the National Mu- the seum. This was formerly a part patent office catalogue, but was transferred to the museum several years a The early telephone models of Bell will be shown, as well as all the late improvements of the “wonderful talking hine.” Mr. Moore does not know how long he will remain abroad, but expects to be gone at least four months. His selection ag the official representative of a branch of the government with which the commercial in- terests of foreign nations is so closely al- Med is a compliment to and a recognition of his ability. —_—__+«+____ MUSICAL MENTION. of the The friends of Miss Eva Mills have planned a benefit for her, to relieve her immediate necessities, and Mrs. Gilson, proprietor of the Everett House, is the principal in the movement. Miss Mills, who is remembered by older Washingtonians as the foremost local soprano of her time, has been seriously 111 for many months and the ittle she had saved has been swept away by unfortunate investments, so that now she fs really in need. It is believed that those who remember how willing she was in the day of her prosperity to sing for charity will readily re pond to the appeal new made in her beha It 1s not known exactly where the benefit will take place, but it will be within ten days, and it is ex- pected there will be a generous host of vol- unteers. Mr. Angelo C. Fronani went to Richmond last Saturday to play at a musicale at the residence of Mrs. George W. Stevens, wife of the president of the C. and O. railroad, who gav> a musicale which was attended by the best people of that city. Mr. Fro- nani played Schumann’s ‘Fantasie and Ru- binstein’s “Staccato Etude,” and as en- cores he gave Brahms’ “Berceuse’ and Sauer’s ‘Couplet Sans Parole.” His playing was excesdingly well received, especially the “Berceuse” by Brahms, and he was profusely complimented for his touch and technique. The others who participated in the program were a Mr. Oppenheim of Phil- adelphia, an artist on the ‘cello, and Miss Florence Dillard of Richmond, an accom- plished violiniste, whose playing is smooth and evinces considerable poetic tempera- ment. The Euterpe Musical Club, Angelo C. Fro- nant director, was entertained Tuesday evening at the residence of Mrs. Frank Byram, E street sputhwest.

These are shown in a yast variety of new colorings and effects.

Monday, There Will Also Be Shown Additional Importations in Woven and Printed Cotton Fabrics From the British Isles and the Continent, Comprising the productions of the best artist designers, most skillful spin- ners and most accomplished weavers.
