The New Jersey man who hit upon the iden of attaching a rubber erasing > to the end of lead pencils is worth the Pittsburg Press. ho miner who invented a motal vet or eyelet at each end of the mouth of coat and trousers pockets, to resist the strain caused by the carriage of pieces of ore and heavy tools, has made more money from his letters patent than he would have made had he struck a good vein of gold-bearing quartz. iveryone has seen the metal plates that are used to protect the heels and soles of rough shoes, but everyone doesn’t know that within ten years the man who hit upon the idea $250,000. As large a sum as was ever obtained for any invention was enjoyed by a Yankee who invented the inverted glass bell to hang over gas jets to pro- tect ceilings from being blackened by smoke. The inventor of the roller-skate has made $1,000,000, notwithstanding the fact that his patent had nearly expired before the value of it was ascertained in the craze for roller-skating that spread over the country aféw years ago. The gimlet-pointed screw has pro- duced more wealth than most silver mines and the Connecticut man who first thought of putting copper tips on tho toes of children’s shoes, is as well off ns if he inherited $1,000,000, for that's the amount his idea has realized for him in cold, clammy coin. The common needle-threader, which every one has seen for sale and which every woman owns,was a boon to needle- users. The man who invented it has an income of $10,000 a year from his in- vention. A minister in England made $50,000 h{ inventing an odd toy that danced by winding it with a string, The man who invented the return bail, an ordinary wooden ball with a rubber ltr‘.n&muunchod to pull it back, made $1,000,f from it.

A ROMANCE FROM CALIFORNIA, One Combatant Afterward Became a Clergyman and the Authorof Pop- ular Religious Works — His Death in the Pulpit. Neither Could Win Her. Something like fifty years ago two young men, one a lawyer and the other a doctor, loved the same girl in the town of Grand Gulf, Miss., says the San Francisco Chronicle. Both could not have her, and neither could live with- out her. They decided to fight for her. 1t was to be a duel to death. There was no insult to be avenged by the discharge of firearms, no stain on a reputation to to be wiped out by & faw drops of blood. The death of the one was demanded by the other. The lawyer said it was to be a duel a outrance. The arrange- ments for a massacre were complete, The principals were armed with rifles, revolvers and bowie-knives. They had more confidence in the continuation of their hate than in the accuracy of their aim, The rifles were to be discharged first at twenty paces; if neither com- batant was killed they were to advance, firing their revolvers at will, and if they still lived the battle was to be con- tinued with knives. |4 It was early morniug when the party of four men—principals and seconds— left the little town of Grand Gulf and sought a grove a few miles distant. effort at reconciliation was made time was lost in the preliminaries, men were placed, the word was given (> fire and the riflesechoed the signal, ”he lawyer sfumbled forward and fell, +od stresing from his mouth. He was uncopscious when his second raised him: bnd it was found that: the bullet had! gntered one cheek, torn away a section of the jaw, and had made its exit through the other side of his face. There was no wmore fighting, al- though thé déetor gave his opponent more thah “the time allowed by the Marquis of Queensberry rules, The marksmanship of the physician did not win the young lady. Some talk was made nbout the fight and she was removed to another part of the state. The lawyer'recovered and went to Hol- ly Springs where he became an Epis- copal minister, The physi n came to San Franeisco and three weeks ago, after fifty-three years, appeared in the office of Dr, Vorhies, the well known oculist. Heis Dr. 8. M. Tibbets, who for many years wos one of the best known physicians in the state. He gave up a large and lucrative practice some time ago, as the burden of his years proved too much for him, A cat- aract on his eye repdered him sightiess, and his viait to Dr. Vorhies was that of a patient to a physician. ith the assistance of Drs. Taylor and Lane, Dr. Vorhies removed the opaque substance, and the hero of the duel in Grand Gulf, Miss.,, had his sight completely restored, and although now eighty years of age, sees remarka- bly weil. vhu., in the operating room Dr. Tibbitts was asked how he had lived for many years in Mississippi and retained his self-respect without fight~ ing a duel. Then he said he had en- #aged in a battle, but had forgotten accepted the lawyer’s chatlenge. A few days later S.

I was his second in a duel once,” was the “With whom did he fight?” he was asked. .The old gentleman studied for a mo- ment and said: “Ingraham—Joe Ingraham afterwards Rev. Joseph H. Ingram, of Holly Springs. He was Joe then, a lawyer, and a good man.” “I know him, well,” exclaimed Dr. Vorheis.” 1saw him die.” “Well, well,” said Mr. Todd, ‘‘had he an affection of the eyes?” T was at Holly Springs in 1862 when Grant had occupied the territory down there.

As he took his seut a re port-was heard, a cry was heard and the minister pitched forward on his face in the pulpit and was dead almost before any one could reach him., He had a revolver in his pocket, and when he sat down it was accidently discharge.” By that discharge darkness fell on the intellect of a bright and brave man. Rev. Mr. Ingraham was a scholar and a writer of note, His religious works have been widely read, and his “*Pillar of Fire,” *“Prince of the House of David” and **The Throne of David” have had as great circulation in Great Britain as here, His other writings in- clude ‘‘Lafitte” and ‘‘Burton, or the Siges.” Tha biographies of famous men have little of the life or death of the author, whose only duel with a citi zen of San Francisco was recalled in the strange manner related. — Gladstone on Dante, Mr. Gladstone’s estimate of Dante,ex- pressed after a paper read by the ishop of Ripon at the duke of West- minster’s house, contained this: *'I wish to bear testimony with the bishop, as far as language can, to the degree of magnitude and the importance of his works, which can hardly be possible to exaggerate upon. Dante has a place absolutely alone in the whole compass of what is called literature, and 1 do not think that there is any writer who can compete with Dante in what I call educated power. In my opinion, the study of Dante is a very serious matter, entailing & serious responsibility. Every thinking person who gives him- self to that study cannot, during the study, but feel profoundly its effects, for many are the lessons which the poems of Dante convey to humanity,” e HE FASTS, BUT STILL WRITES, Citizen Train Drops Into Verse to De- fend His Present Purpose, The eighth dn(y has passed and still the fast of Citizen George Francis Train is unbroken, says the New York World: Aud he looks none the worse for his experiment, As in days of yore Mr. Train wore a boutonunier of choice cut flowers, when the World man saw him yesterday. “Everybody wants me to stop the fast,” sald he. *'But when I am solving advertise the papers; they don’t adver- tise me. “No,” Mr. Train continued joyously, ““being nobody, I'm everybody.

Vice President Morton Still a Banker Our cocky weekly contemporary, the Epoch, says the New York Sun, speaks with the proud consciousness of an in- fallible mugwump: *‘Nothing more indelicate in the whole field of American politics can be imagined than the vice president of the United States remaining a partner in a banking and brokerage house in this city. The moment that he took the oath of office Mr. Morton should have resigned from the firm of Morton, Bliss & Co. This is so plain as to admit of no argument whatever.” _This is nonsense. There is nothing either in the constitution or the laws of the United States to require any such thing. *The only provision that the statuies make in" this direction is that which prohibits the secretary of the treasury,ithe first comptrolier,first audi- . tor, treasurcr, or register to be con- cerned in trade or commerce. By nec! essary implication also this law permits and authorizes the vice president to continue in any trade or comwmerce which he may be engaged in when elected. 4 Neither is there in the statutes of common sence any such provision as our contemporary would enforce upon Mr. Morton. So ‘long as the president tives the vicedn'euhlent'hnu no function, no power, and no duty, except to pres side in the sessions of the senate, and in cases 80 rare as virtually never to oceur, to give a casting vote there; and also to figure as a regent of the Smith- sonian finstitution, Thus there {8 no official or political act of his which can be affected by the circumstance thet he is stockholder or partner in any busi- ness. The proposition of the Epoch is without sense. SILVERW ARE! THIS WEEK At Special Prices! ROGERS' BEST A 1 Tea Spoons, 96c Set.
