ST. PAUL, Mimi, April 3, 1882. :
HARVESTER AND BINDER PATENTS.
Farmers are liable to be projected against
fringement upon one previously granted. In
1850 patents for Irvine binders were awarded,
after years OF controversy, to Marquis L. Cor
ham, of Rockford, ILL.,, by whom they were
assigned to the Mccormick manufacturing
firm of Chicago. Pending litigation, a num-
Der of other manufacturers made and sold
twine- binding harvesters, and they are now
being called upon by the McCormicks to pay
a royalty of ten dollars upon each machine.
The McCormicks are determined to protect
themselves and their customers and will push
matters vigorously against parties making.
selling or using such machines as infringe
upon their parents.
1t is claimed by the parties who demand the
royalty that they own and control all the
patents relating to the automatic binding of
bundles of grain. The Minneapolis harvester
works, the William Deering company of Chi
eago, the Champion reaper company OF
Springfield, Ohio, the Esterly Harvester com
pany of Whitewater, and all Others that are
using Irvine binders under the Appleby patents
are to be proceeded against by the parties con-
trolling the Gorham patent. The attorneys
who have been engaged by the Mccormick
faction are George Harding of Philadelphia,
E. N Dckerson of New York, M D Leggett
of Cleveland, O., and Parkinson s. Parkinson
of Cincinnati tits very desirable tnat the
farmers should not be entangled in litiga
tion."

We copy from one oil the leading journals. and
most of the Western papers have had similar
paragraphs.
MCCORMICK SAYS:
Farmers are liable to be proceeded against
if they use patent, so-called, that is an in
fringement upon one previously granted
The Appleby binder is now being manufac-
tured by some fourteen different manufacture
les, and until the suit is decided as to the
priority of the Gorham and Appeby patents.
no farmer can buy an Appleby binder of the
Mccormick Machine Co., or any other CON-
pany, without buying an interest in law
suit.
THE ST. PAUL HARVESTER WORKS
DO not use the Appleby patents. but make a
binder which was on the market in advance of
the Appleby binder, and it has proved itself
far superior to all other binders for quality of
work aud durability, and no one claims an In
fringement of patents Farmers look to your
interests. Buy the Pioneer Cord Binder and
avoid an expensive law suit.

The most eminent patent attorney in this
country, has always had charge, and has now,

Boston, April 7.--J. P Morrison, arrested
Wednesday night for obtaining checks to the
value of $40, 900 from Charles Francis Adams,
was arraigned this afternoon on three counts
| for larceny, each count representing check.
Morrison waived examination and was COM
mitted to Jail in default of bond of $4,000, to
| appear in the supreme court, where an indict-
ment will be returned against him by the
grand jury.
The real name of the defendant is James
Fitzgerald alias the "kid," and but little is
known OF him by the Boston officers. except
that he has the reputation of being a profess
sional bunkO player. It has been ascertained
that the check was taken to B. M. Fernald, q
lawyer, having an Office in the Merchants
| bank building by Norton. Fernald is men,
Der of the legislature from Melrose and he
who claimed to be real estate dealer.
When Norton brought the check to him
for collection Fernald saw it had
been drawn in blank and filled in by another
person. He was suspicious and thought at
first he would notify Mr.. Adams. On second
thought, however, he made up his mind that
as it was then the 29th, there would be no
harm in depositing the check to his own
credit and waiting until after the list of the
month before drawing against it, On April
he knew that all checks would be sent to
Mr.. Adama, and if there was anything wrong
about this particular note the fact would at
once appear. The. truth actually did
come out in the way Fernold anticipated and
on Monday he learned the circumstances of
the making of the check. He knew nothing
Of Norton's character and the fact of check
on the National badk, payable to bearer, being
brought to him for collection was what ex-
cited his suspicion.
Money received on the SIT 800 check which
Adams was induced to sign has been refunded
by Fernald. A detective here says: "Fitz-
jerald has always been bunko man and faro
>teerer. He is good conversationalist, of
easy. polished address, andis said to have
been born in New York, where he received
college education. By reason of excuses
there he was obliged to leave for other
parts.''
In connection with the New York career
of Fitzgerald it is said is one of his most init
mate associates was Charley Miller, shot
some time ago in bar-room by Bill Tracy.

AMUsEMENT NOTES
r. Il. Keene. the Traaedta..


The sale of reserved seats yesterday for
the engagement of Mr.. T. R. Keene, in
Shakesperian representations the first
three evenings of next week, was most
encouraging, promising reception to
the talented tragedian every way flatter-
ing to him, and alike creditable to the
intelligence and cultivated taste of our
citizens.
Speaking of Mr.. Keene's Othello, a
character in which he has not before
been seen in this city, the Chicago Inter
Ocean says:
Mr. Kecue presents practicable and we'll
considered conception of Othello, one which
is likely to secure valuable recognition as the
performance becomes more rounded and SYM
metrical. The turgid, heavy and sonorous
style of declaration is reduced to q minimum,
the scenes being treated as conventionally as
possible, which produces singularly happy
effect, enlisting new regard of the character.
The idea is that OF a hasty and passionate ma
ture subdued to the environments of place
and position. the soldier and alien Venitian,
but ready to assert itself on the instant of
prOvocation. There is quiet air of SUI
periorlty about the impersonation, too, that
is becoming, and which gives
weight TO certain scenes IN COM
pensation for the discarded fervor
of speech and violence of action. In this way,
Mr.. Keene succeeds in douby intenslfying the
passionate outbursts of the Moor when the
real awaking of his nature bursts the temper
ate bonds ofjudgment in the whlrl and tumult
of furious jealousy. And this is no artifce,
either. 1t is rational treatment of a reason
able conception, and shows the conclusion of
| intelligence. Following this clearly defined
course, Mr.. Keene introduces some eminently
sound readings and interpretations of the lines
| that are effective in many ways. In the scene
| between Othello and Iago, where the insidious
poison of the treacherOus scheme is insinuated
| to the mind OF the husband there is much
| beauty to the performance of Mr.. Keene. Re-
| lying upon vehemence rather than upon
boisterousness, speaking with fervor but not
in frenzy, the earlier part of the scene is de-
/! fined with skill that shows the slow pro-
gress of the alert mind to the conclusion that
resolves to tear the offender all to pieces. AT
| this point, suddenly assured of Desdemonia's
wanton practice. Othello starts forward to
| Immediately execute his threat, and is only de-
| TERED by the interference of Iago. This is 8
good dramatic incident, 1t is certainly con-
| sistent and impressive. In such little varia-
lions as this MIR. Keene has succeeded il
giving a unique coloring to hia portraiture o.
the Moor, and as they are numerous through
out the play the performance is one of di-
versifed interest.
