Show An Inventor's Predicament. Mr. Eugene Fitch, of Iowa, invented a typewriter some time ago and he is now in London introducing it. He sent the Priuce of Wales one of the machines and his royal highness took it into his head to learn the art. He has become so fascinated fascin-ated with the fad that lie has ordered a dorm of the machines for use by bis secretaries. This has. of course, set the nobility all agog, for the prince is a sort of bell wether, leading the way whither thousands are ready to follow. Our friend Fitch is in a terrible pickle, for he has more orders than he can fill in a year, and he is so pestered by visitors who want to see tbe machine which " 'is royal 'ighness 'as condescended to patronize" that he is going over to the continent for rest.
