THE TELEPHONE CASE

under argument to-day has grown out
of the suit brought by Acting Attorney
General jerks in the Circuit Court OF
the United States for the District of
Massachusetts, to have cancelled two
patents granted Alexander Graham
Bell, as inventor of the telephone, on
the ground that the patents were OBJ.
tanned by fraud. The Bell Company
entered q demurrer to this suit, in
which they maintained, among other
things, that in the absence of
specific statute, the United
States had no power to maintain
q bill in equity 10 cancel the patent for
an invention. The Circuit Court held
that this point was well taken, but fur.
thermore ruled that even were the
court not to go to this extreme. the
demurrer must be sustained, on the
ground that the main question raised
against the validity of Bells patent
could be advanced in an infringement
suit, and that the Attorney General
could not btng suit to cancel patents
on grounds which constitute the de-
Tense in infringement cases.
The case comes to the Supreme
Court on an appeal from this decision.
Judge Thurman, in his argument,
said the Bell Company conceded the
constitutional right of the government
to enact stature giving the Attorney
Gene al power to bring suit to cancel a
patent, but N aintained that in the alb
ssnce of such statute the Attorney Gen

bringing OF the suit, and declared that
Congress could not. even by express
statute, limit this power, for it would
therefore abrogate the Constitution.

to Congress inviting attention to the
necessity of making some appropria-

visions of the Chinese exclusion act.

effected into the United States not only
at the ports upon the Atlantic, Pacific

evident that considerable force must
be eventually employed. 1t is impossi.
bic TO give detailed estimate of the ex-
penditures which might be required for
the purpose, but it is recommended that
an initial appropriation of $50 600 be

THE vESTAL VIRGIN.

Dutios Of thu Patrician Guardians Of
ROme's Sacred Fire.
Of all women the vestals were those
who had the most direct influence in
public life. Their power traversed
that of man. and. themselves under
the law. at times proved stronger than
the law. The Office of these spotless
patrician maidens-'perfect in body
and pure in soul"-was to minister in
the temple Of Vesta. where they kept
aight the sacred fire, guarded the
penates and those holy relics which
formed the '.fatale piynus imperii. :"

awful and mysterious something. that
sacred palladium or sacred substance
inclosed in a sealed jar. was deposited
in the innerinost sanctuary. where no

Prof. Romanes on Women's Brains.


Prof Romancs notes that the brain
OF the average man is slightly heavier
than that of the average woman. and
argues that ''there is 4 general CORE
aatIon between brain weight and men,
aM capacity throughout tn, whole ami
NAL kingdom" But the brain OF an
elephant is three or four times as
heavy as that of a man. yet we do not
find the elephant three or four times
us intelligent us the man. Again, if
tie relative weight of brain to body
bc made the crucial test. the weight of
ahe brain. rs compared with that of the
body, is greater in certain birds than
1t is in the human species. Prof. Ro-
names says that if it could be shown
that the feminine brain differed from
the masculine brain in quality. its
smaller size would not matter. Well.
consider the case of idiots 1t is found
that if the masculine brain is below a
certain weight, the owner is invariably
an idiot; but the feminine brain can
fall several ounces below that weight,
and the owner still be perfectly ra-
tiOnal. If ounces of masculine
brain = idiocy. while (a-2) ounces of
feminine brain = nationality. the infer
ence would seem to be that the quality
is different; or, ut all events. that the
smaller creature may have a smaller
brain without necessarily having in

letter to the president of the Ladies

vile:
II am sorry that can not help you

lack of opportunity and need of the
same kind of work here, and am doing
my best to meet it and create senti-
ment in favor of franchise for women
by lending our leaflets, my Romans

I'VE are in new section just settled
this summer, all of us taking Govern
ment land. The cattle kings have
been accustomed to let their herds
range at will This state OF things
will continue until the settlers are nu-
merous enough to vote them out.
The cattle men ami cowboys on the
one side and the settlers on the other
side. Undoubtedly there are settlers
enough here now who have taken land
to out-yote the cattle men. but think
fully half of the land is entered by
women. We are blessed with a re-
markably intelligent class OF settlers.
In order to succeed. we must cultivate
our land. and the Government requires
it, otherwise we 70: felt our right to the

acres each, or three hundred and
twenty acres. We are just rs much in

selves or our crops. We stand as

ton of our homes and crops, which
means our livelihood.

equal footing with our brothers. If
we fail to have our claims regarded
here we intend to cross the line and

To those of us who have supported our
families. and taken care of them ut the
