Shepherd, whose death occurred at his home in the mining camp of Batopilas, Chihuahua, Mexico, left a fortune of about $6,000,000. Most of this is in the shape of dividend-pay- ing mining stocks and in mining prop- erties which he owned individually. He made all his fortune in the 19 years that he had resided in Mexico. Bato- pilas, where he made his home, is sit- uated in the heart of the Sierra Mad- ‘res, more than 200 miles from railway communication. It is a long and diffi- cult trip over a winding burro trail be- tween Chihuahua and Batopilas. Itis over this narrow trail that millions of dollars of bullion have been brought from the mines and a vast tonnage of mining machinery taken into the dis- tant camp, all on the backs of burros. A few years ago “Bess” shepherd had a piano brought from New York, and shipped on the backs of burros in pieces to Batopilas, where the instru- ment was put together and played in his home. He had many exciting ex- periences during his long resdence in the wilds of Mexico. Only a short time ago his life was attempted by a Mexican, who shot at him at close range. A. M.

Philadel, Pa MANY INVENTIONS, Intimations as to How a Patent May Be Secured. “Nearly all of us at some time or oth- er have been fired with inventive zeal,” said a patent official to a Star man this morning, “and letters pour into the office asking all sorts of questions about patents. The additional rules I will give you are known to us and to patent attorneys, but to the general public the details of our business are complex and misty. If the following few suggestions and rules are borne in mind they will be found of invalu- able service as timz savers and pre- ventitives of worry. The one great question which is fired at us is: ‘How may a patent be obtained?’ “A patent may be obtained by any person who has invented or discovered any new and useful art, machine, man- ufacture or composition of matter, or any new and useful improvement there- of not known or used by others in this country before his invention or discov- ery thereof and not patented or de- scribed in any printed publication in this or any foreign country before his invention or discorevy thereof, or more than two years prior to his applica- tion and not in public use or on sale in the United States for more than two years prior to his application, unless the same is proved to have been aban- doned, upon payment of the fees re- quired by law and other due proceed- ings had. “A patent may also be obtained by any person who by his own industry, genius, efforts and expense has invent- ed and produced any new and original design for a manufacture, bust, statue, alto-relievo or bas-relief; any new and original design for the printing of silk, woollen, cotton, or other fabrics; any new and original impression, orna- ment, pattern, print or picture to be printed, painted, cast or otherwise placed on or worked into any article of manufacture; or any new, useful or original shape or configuration of any article of manufacture, the same | not having been known or used by others before his invention or produc- tion thereof, nor patented nor described in any printed publication, upon the payment of the usual fees and upon the usual proceedings. “The receipt of letters patent from a foreign government will not prevent the inventor from obtaining a patent in the United States unless the appli- cation upon which the foreign patent was granted was filed more than seven months prior to the filing of the ap- plication in this country, in which case no patent will be granted in this coun- try. “In case of the death of the inven- tor the application will be made by and the patent will issue to his ex- ecutor or administrator, and where the inventor died during the time inter- vening between the filing of the ap- rlication and the granting of a patent, letters patent will likewise issue to the executor or the administrator. Where an inventor becomes insane the application may be made by and the patent issued to his legally appointed guardian. Joint inventors are entitled to a joint patent and neither of them can obtain a patent for an invention jointly invented by them. Independent inventors of distinct and independent improvements in the same machine cannot obtain a joint patent for their separate inventions. “These are the great fundamental rules upon . which patents are issued and should be passed in the hat for future reference.”—Washington Star. The Passing of Ping-Pong. When at the West End, Elberon and Asbury Park recently I noticed that an air of pathetic.lonliness wrapped the ping-pong tables. The craze for this amusement which seized the Ameri- can public so frantically has abated with marked suddenness, particularly at the summer resorts. Its memory will live for a little while, perhaps, in the world of comic literature. The “summerites’” who are not of an ath- letic turn of mind imbibe sufficient enjoyment from rocking lazily on breezy piazzas and letting their fan- cies take them whither they will as they sip icy ginger ales and dream of good old mint juleps, which only a chosen few can make, while viewing here and there the course dotted with shirtwaists, which this year are tak- ing the place of the scarlet jackets of festive memory.—New York Press. Pretoria’s English Aspect. Pretoria is beginning to take on an English aspect. The bronze figures of the typical Voortrekkers, which were intended for the base of the Kruger statue in Government square, Pretoria, have been presented to Lord Kitchen- er, who has had them shipped to England in order that they may grace, as a war trophy, the Royal Engineers’ quarters at Chatham. On the site of the Kruger statue Samuel Marks, who had given the bronze figures, has of- fered a large sum to place a statue of the king, and it is further stated in a letter to the London Telegraph that this royal British subject is willing to place a statue of the late queen on the opposite side of the square. Al- ready the face of the government buildings displays the royal arms cut in the solid stone. Australian Ostrich Feathers. It is stated that the Australian feath" ers, as a result of better climate and the better food, are superior to those imported from South Africa. No diffi- culty is experienced in obtaining young birds. In South Africa the eggs are hatched in incubators, so as to prevent damage to the wing feathers of the parent birds while sitting, but this expedient is found unnecessary in Sydney. The feathers from Sydney are declared by experts to be among the finest known.—Londor Commer- cial Intelligence, “Milch cows, ea: THE NMiARKETS, PITTSBURG. Grain, Flour and Feed.

Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review Says: Distribution of merchandise shows no diminution and = prospects are bright for continued activity. Dealers in many lines are urging prompt shipments. This indication of reduced stocks is a good sign and tends to sustain quotations. Western reports are especially favorable. Vol- untary advances in wages have been announced in a number of instances, while the labor situation is more sat- isfactory. Transportation facilities have improved in the coke region, where congestion was becoming se- vere, and railway earnings thus far reported for September exceed last year’s by 94 per cent. Pig iron fur- naces are receiving larger consign- ments of coke, and there is less in- terruption because of fuel scarcity. The situation is by no means satis- factory, however, and production of iron and steel would expand consid- erably if facilities were normal. Much of the relief has come from large im- ports, the extent of which is not gen- eraliy appreciated. During August alcne pig iron imports were 79,447 tons, and for eight months 257,210 tons, valued at $4,676,649, while re- ceipts of steel billets were worth still more. Recently the purchases abroad have extended to steel and rails and structural shapes. Quotations are fully sustained on these products, but the inequalities of the market are shown by declines in sheets, wire nails and barb wire. Tin plates are dull and efforts are still being made tc retain business sent abroad by spe- cial wage arrangements. Supplies of cotton goods do not accumulate in first hands, the demand continuing to keep pace with production. Wool averaged slightly higher in sympathy with the London sale, but further declines occurred in hides and leather has become dull. Strictly commercial failures in the United States during the first nine months of 1902 number- ed 8,676, with defaulted liabilities of $85,407,490. Last year there were 8§,- 083 failures of banks and other finan- cial institutions, with liabilities of $28,027,198, against 61 in 1901, involv- ing $17,295,654. Only one other year during the past two decades made as favorable a showing. Business fail- ures in the United States for the week ending October 2 number 164, as against 172 last week, 175 in this week last year, 177 in 1900, 148 in 1899, and 163 in 1898. Bradstreet's says: Wheat, includ- ing flour, exports for the week end- ing October 2 aggregate 6,870,578 bushels, against 5,077,070 bushels last week, 6,195,749 bushels this week last year, and 4,450,167 bushels in 1900.

By a sort of eminent domain billions of small, red ants—hymenopterous; genus Linnaen—have taken possession of New Orleans. The quaint, historic City of the Gulf is overrun with count- less numbers of the pests. Not con- tent with taking up their homes ig the streets and fn public places they have invaded the homes. The citizens seem to be unable to combat the new-com- ers, or, even with most extensive ag- gressive measures, to make any appre- ciable diminution in their numbers. The newspapers of New Orleans have talked volubly this summer of the al- most total disappearance from the city and vicinity of the mosquito. Also they have told that daring experiments have revealed the fact that those that remained are not so strong, hefty, and aggressive as usual, but instead are degenerating into weak, lean, puny creatures that are not at all bother- some. Another unusual thing which the papers discussed at great length was the almost total absence of the pestiferous fly, saying that few of the insects were to be seen 2bout the public market this year. Then came the plague of ants. They came no one knew whence, in great armies. The pavements and sidewalks were made brick-colored by their presence, and the housewife and cook were pestered to desperation by them. But the phil- osophical people are reasoning that the little red ant is less bothersome than the fly-or the mosquito, that he is an excellent and ever-industrious scaven- ger, and that he has never been ac- cused of being the means of spreading contagion. MUST CEASE TO BE COMIC. Royalty in Bulgaria and Servia Re- fuses to Be Laughed at. The King of Servia and Prince Fer- dicand of- Bulgaria have formed a trust to stop ridicule of their royal persons. Whenever a comic paper hereafter alludes to Ferdinand’s tre- mendous nasal organ, or his ambition to become. a King, or when even a misguided editor levels words of dis- respect at King Alexander or his bon- nie wife, Draga, presto, he will be clapped into jail at the instance of joint diplomatic action by Bulgaria and Servia, both countries at the same time, agreeing to prosecute any subject of their own who dares make light of other European royalties. Heat and Sunstrokes. The discovery of a distinction be- tween heatstroke and sunstroke is claimed by Dr. Moussoler, a French naval surgeon, who believes that a con- siderahle saving of life should follow. Heatstgokes, he affirms, results from prolonged exposure of the whole body to moist, or dry heat exceeding 104 de- grees Fahrenheit, and its ill effects are due to the action of the superheated blood. Sunstroke, instead of being caused by high temperature, is induced by chemical rays from intense sunlight falling on the cranium. It can occur only in the tropics, and the immunity of blacks is explained by the fact that a dark skin or other substance almost completely stops the passage of chem- ical rays. By a new lay in Montreal, Que., all bread must be sold by weight, except fancy bread under one pound. The council passed the law after a bitter contest lasting for months past be- tween the races, the English bakers, insisting that it must be enacted as a protection for the poor, who, they claimed, have been frequently defraud- ed. . L sy ll PE-RU-NA NECESSARY TO THE HOME. A Letter From Congressman White, of North Carolina. PE-RU-NA ISA HOUSEHOLD "SAFEGUARD. No Family Should Be Without It. ERUNA is a great family medicine. The women praise it as well as the men; it is just the thing for the many little catarrhal ailments of childhood. The following testimonials from thank- ful men and women tell in direct, sincere language what their success has been in the use of Peruna in their families: Louis J. Scherrinsky, 103 Locust street, Atlantic, Iowa, writes: “T will tell you briefly what Peruna has done for me. I took a severe cold which gave me a hard cough. All doctors’ medi- cines failed to cure it. I took one bottle of Peruna and was well. “Then my two children had bad coughs accompanied by gagging. My wife had stomach trouble for years. She took Pe- runa and now she is well. “I cannot express my thanks in words, but I recommend your remedy at every opportunity, for 1 can conscientiously say that there is no medicine like Peruna. Nearly every que in this town knew about the sickness of myself and family, and they have seen with astonishment what Peruna has done for us. Many followed our example, and the result was health. Thanking you heartily, I am.” — L. J. Scherrinsky. ‘ Irs. Nannie Wallace, Tulare, Cal, President of the Western Baptist Mis- sionary Society, writes: “I consider Peruna an indispensable ar- ticle in ‘my medicine chest. It is twenty medicines in one, and has so far cured every sickness that has been in my home for five years. I consider it of special value to weakly women, as its builds up the general health, drives out disease and keeps you in the best of health.”—Mrs. Nannie Wallace. Peruna protects the family against coughs, colds, catarrh, bronchitis, catarrh of the stomach, liver and kidneys. 1t is just as sure to cure a case of catarrh of fae Jowds as it is a case of catarrh of the ead. c p H. WHITE. VVVWVY YYW HON. GEORGE Congressman George Henry White, of Tarboro, N. C., writes the following let- ter to Dr. Hartman in regard to the mer- its of the great catarrh cure, Peruna: House of Representatives, Washington, Feb. 4, 1899. Gentlemen—‘‘1 am more than satig- lied with Peruna, and findittobean excellent remedy jor the grip and catarrh. I have used itinmy jamily and they all join me in recommend- ing it as an excellent remedy.” Very respectfully, George H. White. The Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, O.: Peruna is an internal, scientific, syste- mic remedy for catarrh. It is no pallia- tive or temporary remedy; it is thorough in its work, and in cleansing the diseased mucous membranes cures the catarrh. If you do not derive prompt and satis- factory results from the use of Peruna write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case, and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis.
