Important typewriter Decision.

Judge Lacombe, sitting in the United
States Circuit Court here, has, on the
motion of the Remington Typewriter
Company, granted an injunction against
the agents of the Franklin, restraining
the sale of that machine on account OF
infringement OF Remington patents.
The decision is an important one as it
proves the control of the fundamental
patents, and Inay affect other makers
of typewriters. The Remington people
have heretofore been quite passive, but
it is stated on good authority that they
are now likely to proceed against all
other typewriter manufacturing COM
panies.
'In some cases purchasers of ma
chimes which infringe Remington pat
ents may also be proceeded against for
infringement, Until these cases are
definitely settled this action will deter
many people from purchasing type
writers which are colorado limitations
of the Remington. To save few dol

cially when the other machine is the

AN ADEPT AT RESIGNING.
The Accountants Novel Method of TAX
ing Vacation.

Living in fashionable town within
committing distance of New York is u
gentleman who invariably attracts at
teution by his long hair. Strangers
always conclude that he is nothing
less than great lawyer or bank presi-
dent When the more curious ask his
fellow-townsmen about him they are
told the following story:
One day the gentleman, who is one of
the best accountants in the metropolis,
stepped up to the president of the bank
by which he is employed and said he
had decided to resign and that the
resignation must go into effect immedi-
ately.
The president was 10th to lose so
valuable man and urged him to recon-
slider the matter. He talked with him
for an hour but to no purpose. The
employe, whose skill as a mathema-
tician was beyond anything ever met
with by the officials of the bank, was
bound to leave the institution but
absolutely refused to give any reason
| for his doings.
The accountant left that day and the
| bank was obliged to get along as best
it could without him. ...,
Ten days later the cashier was.
astonished on entering the bank to
| find the accountant hard at work at
his old desk. The mathematician said
good morning, just as he had done
every day for years before he resigned,
but offered no explanation.
The president and cashier decided to
| let their stranpe-actinp employe keep
at his work and ask no questions.
Three months later the accountant
went into the presidents Office again
and rendered his resignation. 1t was
accepted. and the man was absent for
week or more. Then he suddenly re-
| turned. 3p
The same thing was repeated again
and again. Now it is a standing joke
in that bank that the accountant has
resigned. 1t is his way of taking a
vacation. He never stays away more
than two weeks.-N. Y. Commercial

A German agent in the southwest Af-
rican possessions of Germany writes to
headquarters in Berlin that confidence
men and scamps have invaded even
that sparsely settled and half-savage
region. He says that ayear ago white
man went wandering through the coun-
try carrying on his back bag filed
with medical nostrums. Little atten-
tion was paid to him, but it was found
later that he knew nothing whatever of
medicine, and that his little plasters,
waters and drugs were worth no more
than so much fetish. He heralded his
coming everywhere, just as the quacls
doctors do in this country, and the sim
ple-minded natives flocked to him from
far and near to secure the benefits of
his wonderful treatment. He remained
only two or three weeks in place, and
then would seek other fields. He took
payment in cattle, and from place to
place he drove his herd, which cost him
nothing for food and kept rapidly in
creasing in size.
Finally he reappeared on the coast
with herd of about one thousand six
| hundred cattle out of which he had
| bunkoed the natives. AS he had no
medical skill and the contents of the
mysterious bag probably were not
worth ten dollars, he found the business
paying one The natives, after he
had swindled them, made up their
minds as to his true character, and the
German agent writes that it probably
would not be safe now for any itinerate
dealerin medicine and cures to travel
through the country; however honest
and competent he might be. a --,
The agent says, however, that there
is fine opening in southwest Africa
for some young practitioner who is hav-
ing hard work building up a practice in
Germany. He names the town where
the young mar SHOULD settle, and says
he is confident that few years prac-
tice among the natives there would en-
able him to return to Germany with a
snug little fortune. The agent will eX-
ercise great care to prevent any more
quacks and humbugs from getting into
the country and giving the natives an
unfavorable impression of all white
men.-Chicago Times.
