WHAT IT MEANS ?

Possibly the reader is be-
coming impatient and wants to
know what it is all about, any
way. 1t seems that one Of our
retail merchants secured a
large invoice of silver goods;
as he is not in the .jewelry bus
mess, but is only interested in
dry goods, he concluded to
give his customers the benefit
of his stock Of silver. To be
plain, he proposes to furnish
Christmas presents in a novel
way that should be very TAX
ing. Those who purchase goods
to the amount Of $3.50 are
entitled to a present Of some
article Of silverware. For cash
$3.50 expended, a present can
be had without further cost.

TEMPTING SCHEME!
The Question OF Christmas
aud Unexpected Way.

In the United States the
friends Of free silver made a
brave fight at the last election;
they demand that the govern
ment should coin silver in the
minis, and make it a legal ten
der for the amounts. This
demand Of the silver men was
taken up by either Of the two
great parties, and it is not
likely that the United States
will ever adopt a double
standard. But down in Ha-
wall things are different.
There is a scheme on foot to
furnish free silver for general
use In these hard times, this
will be welcome news, indeed,
and doubtless a large number
will avail themselves of the
opportunity.

He thought neither had the power to act.

in Mr.. Norris election, and was very sorry for
it. Mr.. Norris forgot that he was the servant
OF the party here. He was q man of wealth and
means and imagined that he could buy people
here.

no invitation, and when he saw fit to speak he
would do SO.

Career of simmons, the Bank wrecker

Jas. A. Simmons, who was yesterday par
trio who achieved fame and almost made them
selves Napoleons Of finance by the operation Of
banking without capital in New York city in the
winter Of 1899 and 1890
When the exposure came in January, 1890, it
was the most stupendous sensation of the hour,
for it was found that the trio. Jas. A. Simmons
old Gen. Peter j. Claassen and Geo. II. Pell
bad bought three banks with practically no
money at all and had established themselve s
among the money kings of the metropolis.
Simmons and Pell were the schemers, while
Gen. Claassen furnished the very little capital
needed for the daring enterprise. In the fall of
1889 the trio purchased Q controlling interest in
the Equitable Bank. small concern. In this
purchase some cash and many kite checks
were used
Then came the purchase Of the Lenox Hill,
another state bank, with kite" checks and the
checks were met with funds and securities
found in the vaults Of the Sixth National Bank
after the ''kiters' had got inside.
Then they reached out for bigger game.
They wanted national bank. They found it
In the Sixth National at Broadway and SD
street.
Simmons bought it from President Leland,
the principal owner, for an immense sum of
money-much more than it worth, and
paid for it with kite checks on the Equitable
and Lenox Hill banks. OF course these checks

A CABLE ROAD PATENT.
The Inventor Neglected 10 Apply Within
the Specified Time.

The Inventor Neglected 10 Apply Within
the Specified Time.
Henry Root, q New York engineer, doubtless
now regrets that he neglected. for more than two
years to apply for q patent for his invention of
arrangement Of track for the operation Of cable
cars and thereby lost his right to exclusive
control Of this invention under the patent law
which says that no patent shall be given where
the invention has been in public use for
more than two years preceding application for
patent.
The arrangement devised BY Root is the one
now in general use. By decision rendered
today by Justice Blatchford in the
United States Supreme Court in the
case of Henry Root against the Third Ave-
nue. Hallway Company o. New York Root by
his delay has lost right to royalty for it or to
recover damages from railway companies using
1t. When the cable railway was projected In
San Francisco along about 1878 Root had reason
TO believe he would be called on to superintend
its construction and operation.
He set about devising some means which
would be adapted to keeping the cable in place
under the wear and tear of heavy cable traffic.
The scheme devised was q rib or yoke
with connections to the two rails or slot irons,
such yoke to be Embedded in and supported by
a solid mass of concrete a foundation and
protection for it, this being for the purpose Of
holding the cable in place.
This form or arrangement has been substsn-
TALLY adopted in all cable roads and was the
one, as Justice Blatchford said, laid down in
Washington abont year ago. Root was the en-
gineer and superintendent Of the San Fran
cisco line and put his device in operation, but
did not apply for a patent until 1sa1-more
than two years after the San Francisco line was
first constructed.
When the Sd avenue line in New York made
use Of his invention Root sued them. The
company set up the defense that Roots patent
was invalid because of his delay in applying
for patent. The circuit court for southern
New York gave Judgment in favor of the COM
pany, and en- appeal was then taken to the
United States Supreme Court.
Root. in his suit. held that his invention did
not come within the two yea.a' limitation Of
the patent laws for the reason that the Use of
the device in San Francisco was for an expert
ment.
The court holds that this contention is rot
supported By the facts and that the device was
put in public and not in simply experimental
use. Root claimed that he did not want a
patent If his device were too weak to sustain
cable car track and that be was not certain
until he applied for patent that it would not
prove too weak.
Tho court says that it does not appear that
in the two years be expressed any doubts
about its success to the company's officers,
and it is of opinion that sufficient
time elapsed to test the durability
to apply for patent within the two years.
Root, 1t says. did nothing to keep the patent
under his control and lost his rights The
court, therefore, affirmed the Judgment of the
lower court dismissing his bill against the
Third Avenue Railroad COMPANY

CLEVELAND TO ROUGH 1T.
He Expects to Go South in Company with
Young Jefferson.


Unless President elect Cleveland changes
plans nearly perfected, he will soon be on bis
way south to some retreat which it is hoped no
office seeker can penetrate. To one of bis
callers yesterday Mr.. Cleveland said he might
60 to North Carolina. There are those in his
confidence who expect to hear Of him as far
south as Louisiana.
Mr.. Cleveland is said to have expressed q
preference for what he termed a "roughing ii
tour" Though trip Of only ten days is con-
templated. it need occasion no surprise if Mr..
Cleveland drops down to Georgia, where just
out of Brunswick is thousand-acre island.
1t is one of the loveliest spots in the SOUTH and
is owned by syndicate, of which William r.
Grace and other New Workers are members.
Young Mr.. Jefferson, son of the actor, who
is expected 10 accompany Mr.. Cleveland on
the trip. said this evening: I'VE are going to
rough it in old clothes and have as good time
as possible Mr.. Cleveland is very DESTROYS
that the AFFAIR be kept quiet, and really am
not at liberty to discuss the trip at all, much
less give you our destination"
