The suit against the De!! telephone
patent, which President Cleveland has
authorized in the name of the United
States was begun on 22d at Columbus
Ohio. The charges are that Philip Reis
invented the telephone in Germany
many years ago, and that accordingly it
is not patentable; that Alexander Beli
did not invent the telephone at all, but
an improvement in telegraphing in
which the telephone was a lucky by-
blow, for which he ought not havga pat-

NM wderate Counsel Preessiing,
t. Lonis, Mo., March 206 —General}
Master Workman Powderly Las issued a
secret circalar to the “Noble Order
the Knights of Laborof America,” which |
Lias just been made public. Mr, Powder-
ly instructs the Secretary of each Assem-
bly to call a full meeting and read before
them the sentiments which follow. The
address opens with an order to the As-
sembly to cease initiating new members
until the relations of capital and labor
shall become less strained than af the
present time, and continnes :
“To attempt to win concessions or]
gains with our present raw, andisciplined
membership would be like hurling an un-
organized wob againet a well drilled
regular army. IY is not fair to the older
Assemblies to bring in new members,
pick up their quarrels as soon as organ.
ized, apd have them expect pecuniary
aid from those who helped build the or-
der up for a noble purpose.”
Continuing, he deprecates strikes and
advises arbitration. He also warns the
order against politicians who, he says,
arescheming to nse it for selfish ends
and adds, that to nse the name or the
order in a political contest is criminal
and must not occur again.
Referring to the eight-hour movement
the circular says: “Assemblies of the
the Knights of Labor must not strike for
the eight-hour system on May 1 under
the impression that they are obeying or

der waa not and will not be given.”

The “Old Falerian Wine" of Rome.

written by poets, ancient and modern, about
“the old Falerian wine” This wine was
boiled, perfumed by the addition of herbs,
and treated perhaps with gypsum and salt
water, The Romans bad singular and what

wines are still made, but it is only by giving

wines that they bave any success whatever.
Those who make the false Bordeaux wines

have been made by the nataral process of
fermentation and manipulation

Saber-Rilades of German Make.
The German iron industry has gained a
rather flattering victory over the English,
and that on English soll, and the most ro
markable fart about it is, that it is the Eng-
lish war office itseil that acknowledges offi-
cially the German superiority. It publishes
the following communication: “The saber.
biades manufactured in Germany stood the
hardest tests in the most superb manner;
You, the English manufacturer who had
taken the contract for the biades asked for
to furnish German blades, as it
was nearly impossible to get blades made in
England which would stand the official tests.
Besides, the German blades are cheaper.”
This official confession must have deeply
wounded English pride, but the war office
could not help itself, as it was lately bitterly
attacked on noount of the miserable condi
