THE decision rendered by the Su-
preme Court ON Monday in the Bell
Telephone case settles a very import
ant point of law--that the Govern
ment can at any time take action in
the courts to annual a patent corrupt

Miller, in delivering the decision,
said it would be a strange anomaly
ifa ntrepresenting 6O,0O0,-
900 people were powerless to inquire
into fraud charged to have been
committed in obtaining patent.

THE cause of the Durham failure is
thought to be due to falling off in
the foreign demand for the cheaper
grades of "hogshead" tobacco. The
European trusts and monopolies who
control the trade have lately taken to
buying a better class of goods than
heretofore, and the consequence is a
decreased demand for the cheaper va.
rieties. And the "falling Off is not
confined to them, either. During
the first nine months of this year
there has been a decrease OF 81 900, geo
pounds in the tobacco export from

THAT ANONYMOUS NOTE.

If the lady who wrote private note of
instruction to the editor of the EAGLE
don't want to wear corsets and bustles, but
prefers Jenness' horrible breeches, it's all
right Maybe she don't have to. But
whether or no she ought not to take US at
the advantage of an anonymous note 1t
is not the duty of an editor to confine him
self to a long statement of facts, as she
suggests. A daily newspaper would be a
dreary waste indeed in the absence of dila-
ton, Imagination and such innocent sug-
gestions as we made in our efforts to save
the fair sensible women of this city from
the cranky scheme of Annie Jenness
Miller, whose advocacy of proposed in
novation is cold-blooded piece of money
making upon her part, Even our fair
critic would have little use for the EAGLE
should we, as she suggests, take the editor
out of it and leave it simple reflex of dry
facts and every day happenings. Now
please, my dear, don't write us any more
anonymous notes. but come and look US
in the eye and tell us what you think and
you will find one OF the most easily per
suaded auditors that you ever wasted your
breath upon.

building had all been broken out Besides
the broken window glasses there were
seen around drops of blood, and these
leading to the home of Mr.. Drier, near by,
it was believed that he was the person
who had committed the wanton destruc-

the fact that the day before some of the

had kicked the ball through a window in
Mr.. Drier's house. He became very angry
