The beauty of it is that it is true, and first secured pnblicify through Mr. Miller him pelf He was * n city a short time ago and told it at dinner. It. was while he was a member of the Cabinet unde" President Har rison that the incident occurred. He wanted to pay a visit to his cld boyhood home in Indiana. For y ars the same driver <»f the same back traveled back and fourth be tween the town and depot. He had been there when Mr. Miller was a boy, and he is there yet. The first man Mr. Mil'er met when he steppep on thw platform was the oldtime hack driver. ‘‘Howdy do, Uncle John,” He exclaimed as he got in the vehicle. “Hewdy,” was the response. “I don’t believe you know me Uncle John,” he said as the vehi cle started off “YjUI Bill Mille,r“ the g- -t’j • “I suppose you’ve heard of my promotion Uncle J Jin : I’m At torney General of the United States now." “Yts, I've hearn the people say so." “ A'hat else do say about it, Uncle John? Are myoid friends pleased?” ‘'The don’t say anything,” was the reply that closed the conversa tion, ‘‘They just laugh.” Cathode rays are discussed, now a-davs, at all times and on all oc casions. A certain Western Senator is reponsible for the story which follows. He says he was riding up theCaptol the other day, and op posite him on the car were two school girls, pretty, sweJt and about sixteen. They were talking about th* late scintific discovery of Baiun Roentgen aud others. On.' cf them excitedly said: “Yes, and those X rays can maka a pictuie of your boues right through your clothes.” ‘‘Why! 1 think that is posit vely indecent,” said the other. To thi* day they do not know why the Senator laughed. Even a Justice of the Sup’eme Court is uot'afe fiom the tun — loving B‘<aatorß of tho present day The last a'ory is told ou Jus’l'.e Gray.

It is the pro position to refer to the court of claims the claim of William E. Woodbridge for compensation for the use by the United State-: of his invention relating to projectiles, tor which letters patent were order ed to issue to him March 25, 1852 Woodbridge’s invention was to give the rifle motion to cannon balls. For experimental purposes a six-pound gun was rifled at the Washington Arsenal and some shells of avoid form cast at a foundry’ in th,s city. This was four and a half decades ago. The principles applied in the in vention has been used in. all the projectiles constructed since that time. It consists in the application of a ring or sabot of extensible metal to be applied to the rear of a projectile and to be fired irom a rifle-greovtd gun. The admissn n has always been made that Dr. h'ajdbridge was the first In this Bit the 1 i“.~ t y;ily of claiLHs against the government is illus trated by the fact that the meas ure f t the relief of Woodbridge has been, favorably reported .*jt (our different sessions of the Sen ate, all oi which have betim passed. Eight favorable reports have been made in the House at different ses sion, but have n>t been reached for action. There was a c 'pious fall of rain on a recent evening when Mr. Cleveland, accompanied hy a lady friend an 1 Private Secretary Thurber, . ttended the theater. The carriage containing the par ty’ was driven close to the curb, and Mr. Thurber emerged there from with an umberella iu bis hand. He was closely followed by’ the ladies, who presumably ex pec ed to be alfordsd temporary shelter. Tb° private Secretary tackled the umbre la with alacrity, hut with a -tupboruess usual on sue » occasions. It would not yield to hie blandishments. The rain took advantage of the opportunity and c»me down in sh eets and chunks. Mr. Thurber first became nervous, then exci'ed, and finaly, d sperate. Every few seconds he wfluld pause, shake the umdrella and »heu nersue a fresh hue of at tact. Trie surrounding prevent'd him from expressing his views, hue he doutb ess had them on tap. 1<• the 1 idies grew impatient, ml were starting t > wain the distance between the carriage and the en trance. whdu the driver sprang from the box, took posset-siou of the umbrella, and without the le«st befithtion or di c, ’cilty prought it into a position of us ulneas. He held it over rhe ladies r| he ttheater door while Mr. I'htirber followed wi'b a look o! iucred ilitv upon his face. i i ’ DO NOT DO THIS.
