Tue Bell telephone people win their
spit, Theopinion by Mr.. Justice Blatcll'
6rl, one Of the ablest and purest of the
Supreme Bench, declares that there was
no fraud in obtaining the patent and no
reasonable ground to suspect fraud. In
ihe opinion Of the court, Bell is only
raping the reward OF his genius and in
dustry.
The Bell Company is profiting enor-
nously by its telephone, but il it have
aclcar title to its patents, there is moth
inc to be done aboutit. The dissenting
opinion shows that there was ground for
@ntesting the patent, but it does not
hold that there was fraud. Nothing re-
mains but for some genius to supplant
tbe Bell contrivance with a cheaper
method Of easy communication. The
rast gains to be reaped will stimulate
tbe inventive talent OF the world.

In considering the question OF the al
legged anticipation Of Bells invention by
the telephone of Refs, in Germany, the
court holds that Reis discovered a meanq
of transmitting musical tones and moth
ine more. Bells patent, being for the
process or art Of transmitting speech,
would have been Just rs valid even il he
had used the apparatus Of Reis IN Dc
velopinC it. The court holds that the
apparatus OF Refs was not successful
IN transmitting speech and that his In
yention was not in any respect an Nntic'
ipation OF the discoverywhich was made
Justice Blatchiord then reviewed the
Drawbaugh case. The court holds that
the force Of the testimony in showing
that Drawbaugh had telephones in use
before theinyention Of Bell Is complete

Indifference which he manifested with
regard to his alleged inYcntion years al
ter Bells telephones were known 70 the

Field for Literary Beginners.

''What field is there in literary work
for a young man or young woman who
has some ability and yet has no knowledge
of how to begin?' was asked of Richard
Watson Glider, editor of The Century.
''The only way for beginner to do is
to begin. To become professional writer
practice is necessary" -Ht
81 want to know what field there Is to-
day for magazine writing"
"For people without literary reputa-
tions?''
"Yes, people who want to make O repu-
tation-who want to rise in the profess
sion; it is fast becoming profession In it
self.'
"Well, the most constant demand is for
fiction. A beginner always has the oppor-
tunity for practice in the field of short
stories, and out of this he can graduate
into a serial writer, a novelist, publishing
either in the magazines or in book form,
or both. In this way the writer of stories
has an advantage over the dramatic
writer, in that he can las Mr.. Brander
Matthews says make his brief essays and
try them on the editors and on the public,
whereas in the dramatic art in this country
he does not get the chance that he does
abroad, where they take one act plays
from beginners. That is one reason why
there are so many good writer's of fiction
coming up all over the country and why
there are so few dramatists, because the
former have chance to practice-to try
their experiments upon the public-and
the latter have small chance" .-..
''Has not that been the case with almost
all of our fiction writers Of the present
generation; they began with short stories
and then blossomed out as the rose?'
s'That has been the rule. Some of them
have never got fairly beyond the short
story stage, but if they write good short
stories they have gained the rewards Of
fame. New York Mail and Express

Partisan pudes in Doubt.

Partisan handles are greatly exercised
in their minds just now as to what style
of stick they ought to adopt during the
season. They are tired of the gold
knobbed canes, the crutch canes and the
canes with ducks beaks, which were once
the rage. An energetic inventor has there
fore started thick stick which almost
aspires to the dignity and dimensions of
cudgel, and the pomme, or pommel, OF
which is the claw of crayfsh. The
article is already in the hands Of many Of
the gandens, and promises to be fashion
able success. While the members Of
metropolitan 'tmasherdom" are thus busy
about the ''nice conduct of o crayfsh
cane their female counterparts are puzzled
as to the style of walking which they
worn at this period Of the year the car
riage prescribed is that Of short steps
with the ''waggle" Of the little bird
known as the bergeronnette, or water
wagtail. This ''waggle'' should, Of
course, be as graceful as possible, the
undulating sweep of the hips being well
accumulated. The Parisienne looks, as q
rule, adorable in furs, but she is some
times tempted to put in too much "wag-
gle." The best dancing masters and pro-
fessors of calisthenics in converts, board
ing schools, lyceums for sweet girl gradu-
ates and similar establishments, are, there
fore, engaged at the present moment in
instructing their pupils in what may be
called the art of ''waggling. Paris Cor.

The Poor Boy at Harvard.

Far different are the circumstances
under which the poverty stricken fresh
man with an allowance Of $500 enters
upon his academic career. He "rooms'
in College house, tumble down, uncom-
Portable barracks across the street from
the yard. His apartment is unheated
| and Ill furnished. The atmosphere,
though cold, is one of hard study. The
young men in whose company he is
thrown have come to the university like
himself, to work. They are not frivolous.
They have no money to frivol upon.
Many Of them-being driven by necessity
to take serious view Of existence-seek
consolation in religion. In this subject
may as well remark parenthetically-
Mr.. Gorgius Midas, Jr., and his friends
exhibit little or no interest. It Is in Col
lege house that the headquarters of the
Evangelical persuasion at Harvard are in
variably round.
Once identified with this laborious ele-
ment the youth becomes known con-
temptuously as "dig" and a ''grind"-in
other words, person whose excessive in
dustry renders him socially ineligible He
'feeds''-no other word will justly express
tat Memorial hall, with 600 others, ut
$3.50 per week. At such price-sup-
posed to be net cost, with no rent to pay
the food, supplied thus by wholesale, ought
to be of superlative quality. AS matter
Of fact, it is wretched. So-half starved
and quite frozen-he goes through four
dreary years Of scholastic training, at the
end of which he receives degree of A. B.,
after delivering, in a shabby coat, before a
large and cultivated audience an grafton
upon the advantages of Liberal Educa-
tion." He would nave less to say did he
know of what small value college di-
ploma really is to the young man who has
to struggle for his bread and butter in an
unsympathetic world.-Boston Cor. Chi

], for one, have always innocently sup
posed that gold table utensils were what
they pretended to be, all gold; but lately
an expert and dealer in old silver has
informed me to the contrary. Even Vic
toria's royal gold plate Is no better than
it should be. For such a thing as s'solid
gold" Is totally unknown, / must say
this knowledge Is vast relief to me.
Burglars may labor under like delusion,
and fancy any piece Of gold plate is better
worth burgling than the best silverware
in the market But we have all made q
mistake. The finest gold service in ex-
istence is but silver, washed with that
precious metal. It seems no less person
than Mr.. James Keene, when he returned
from England with the famous Ascot cup,
won by his horse Foxhall, also believed in
the solid business, for the trophy was
valued at s., 900 by the custom house off,
cials. Mr.. Keene paid the duties on those
figures and his cup was deposited in b
place Of safety. Shortly after came the
financial crash in Mr.. Keene's fortunes,
and he found it necessary to raise money
on the Ascot cup. The first jeweler and
expert in New York was dispatched to the
bank to examine, or rather to assay, its
Intrinsic value. He found, to his own en-
tire satisfaction, that the 1000 guinea cup
was worth precisely $780, including
metals and the price Of artistic workman

toms ever reimbursed Mr.. Keene my in-
formant did not know,-Boston Herald.

To Prevent Railroad Collisions.

A most wonderful invention is reported
from Vienna. An Austrian engineer has,
it is said, designed a truck to run before
every railway train, being maintained al
ways at O fixed but ADJUSTABLE distance
in front by the force of an electric current
transmitted along the metals from dy-
namo on the engine. The current is con-
Quoted through mercury contained in
glass tubes on the pilot truck. If, there
fore, the truck comes into collision the
tubes are broken and the contact conse-
quently destroyed. The interruption of
the current instantly and automatically
applies the breaks on the following train.
1t is claimed by the inventor that two ex-
presses, fitted with this system, might
with impunity be set to run full tilt ct
each other. The collision of their pilot
trucks would arrest the progress of both
trains before they could meet The ele-
ment of human fallibility is accordingly
entirely eliminated, and drivers may dash
through q whole series of danger signals
without risk, being automatically arrest
ed the moment they reach the spot that is
really dangerous.-St James Gazette.

who was with them, and who was wrecked
of Behring's straits, Siberia, in 1881, edo
not hold the ties Of marriage very sacred.
Another thing, they no not punish for
murder. Murder, however, is rare. There
are probably 10, 900 or $4,000 Esquimaux
within radius Of 5000 miles of where I
was wrecked and where Dom and Tommy
are from, and these speak twenty-five or
thirty different dialects. You may be able
to understand one dialect and be COM
pletely knocked out by another. The peo-
pie live in ice houses, 800 or 400 in q vii
lage, back little way from the water.
They are very superstitious people, too.
When the w. F. Marsh went to pieces
and we were cast away, we fell in with
the simple Esquimaux and got a couple
to guide Us to distant ST. Michael's. 1t
was the latter part of August, and we
were beset with such fearful storms that
we could make very little progress. Our
guides thought an evil spirit was among
Us, and went to work to get rid Of it. One
of them lay down on his right side, while
the other fastened q rawhide string round
his neck, with stick attached to it SO 1t
could be twisted tight. Pulling at this
he would raise and lower his head, while
both howled out their weird chants to the
gods. After awhile they changed off, and
the Esquimau who had been down, arose
and became chief bowler. He prayed to
the gods for less wind, and the two then
INDUCED in the most hair raising groans
and chattering and grinding Of teeth.
Finally one Of them piled big stone on
his shoulder, and whirling with it, uttered
the most doleful sounds. Then the other
Indian was thrust up there, the whirling
and moaning and hallooing going on as
before. How either the stone or the Indi-
an staid there don't know, for neither
was held, but just seemed to lay there. 1t
was some sort Of legerdemain. At length,
completely worn out and exhausted, they
quit, and the wind going down about that
time, they thought they had made good
job of it, and we thanked them and moved
on."-San Francisco Examiner.
