NOT so HARD AS IT SEEMS.

A patent strikes most people as an appaI
ingly formidable thing. The idea is that an
inventor must be natural genius, like Edi
son or Bel; that he must devote years to
delving in complicated mechanical problems
and that he must spent fortune on delicate
experiments before he can get new device to
pateutable degree of perfection. This delu-
sion the company desires to dispel. 1t desires
to get into the head of the public clear CON-
prehension of the fact that it is not the great,
complex, and expensive inventions that bring
the best returns to their authors, but the lit
tie, simple. and cheap ones-the things that
seem so absurdy trivial that the average citi-
zen would feel somewhat ashamed of bringing
them to the attention of the Patent Office.
Edison says that the profits he has received
from the patents on all his marvellous inven-
tons have not been sufficient to pay the cost
of his experiments. But the man who con-
ceived the idea of fastning bit of rubber
cord to childs ball, so that II would come
back TO the hand when thrown, made fortune
out of his scheme. The modern sewing-ma-
chine ia a miracle of ngeuuity-the product of
the toll of hundreds Of busy brains through a
hundred aud fiftycyears, but the whole bril-
liant result rests upon the simple device of
putting the eye of the needle at the point in
stead of at the Other and

Tho Little Things the Most Valuable.

Comparatively few people regard them
selves as inventors, but almost everybody
has been struck, at one time or another,
wi tn ideas that seemed calculated to reduce
some of the0itte frictions of life. Usually
such ideas are dismissed without further
thought.
why. don't the railroad company make its
car windows so that they can be slid up and
down without breaking the passengers

running the road would make them in such
a way"

man who is late for breakfast. "If were in
the business I'd make buttons that wouldn't
slip out or break off, or gouge out the back
of my neck"
And then the various sufferers forgot about
their grievar es and begin to think of some
thing else. If they would sit down at the
next convenient opportunity, put their ideas
about car windows, saucepans, and collar
buttons into practical shape, aud then apply
for patents, they might find themselves as In

Driving Park this afternoon and nearly
double the crowd Of yesterday were in at
tendance. The races if anything were more
exciting than they were Wednesday al
though in no class was there large field
Of starters.
The same men ofiiciated as judges and
timers Wednesday, were in the stand today
and the Wateryille Military Band was also
present and rendered fine music for the oc-
easion.
The 2.27 class was the first one called
and five horses came out and scored down.
st. Lawrence drew the pole, nor did he
loose it, but for the three successive heats
was the first to put his nose under the wire.
In the 2.45 class there were four start
ers. The handsome chestnut Fred r. had
the pole, and in the first half showed the
ability for great amount of speed, but
seemed to be almost wholly from under the
control of his driver and being somewhat
unsteady, was shut out in the first heat,
which was won by Nelson Jr. The other
three heats were won by Ben Hur.

Diana was an easy winner, with Geo.
Rolfe sure second, and with the last heat
closed the June meeting at the Fairfield

STABBING ARRAY.
Circus Employee Murderously
Assaulted at Gardiner.
Fred Moore Of Lynn, Mass, Given
Eight Stabs BY Unknown Man.


GARDINER, June Is. - Especial. AT
about s 40 O'Clock Thufsdxy night people
crossing the Gardiner Randolph bridge were
startled by hearing frantic shrieks of ..mur-
der from the Randolph side Of that struc-
tufe.
Bridge Tender Morang, who is also
= special on the Randolph police force and
several men rushed ia the direction of the
of the Randolph end Of the bridge three
men were running. Morang persued them
hoily but they eluded him BY dodging be-
hind buildings in the dark.
The man who had fallen proved to be the
victim Of a murderous assault, for blood
was pouring from several bad wounds
He was Immediately carried to the Gar
diner police station and Drs. Friend and
Jewett called. Their examination showed
that he had eight wounds inflicted BY 4
knife and four bruises on his head. He
had lost large quantity Of blood, but the
physicians did not consider his injuries
fatal.
The most serious cut was one just under
the left shoulder. three inches long and
over an inch deep. The bios had evidently
been aimed at the heart which be had missed
by but a couple Of inches on account of the
glancing nature of the blow.
The victim, who gave his name as Fred
Moore, Lynn. Mass, Is a canvas man with
Scribner & Sons circus, which has been
showing here today.
From his story and that Of eye witnesses,
il appears that he was walking over the
bridge on the north or Travelled side Near
the Randolph side three men called to him
from the other side of the other side of the
bridge, asking for piece of chewing to-
bacco.
He crossed over, complied with their re-
quest, and turned to walk away when one
of them kicked him.
Moore Immediately struck his assailaut
over the right eye and turned off again.
The three strangers followed him and rap
idly overlook him. Then one of them,
noticeably tall man, stabbed him several
times, and when he cried out they ran.
Moore says that he Joined the circus in
Bath recently and that he knows nothing of
the men who stabbed him. never having
seen them before.
He said that they did not belong to the
show and that they were drunk. He also
says that the tall man who did the stabbing
was about 5ft. l0in. high and wore dark
clothes and a slouch hat. His right eye
was slightly swelled.
The cause of the assault is rot known
but if Moores story is true, it is case Of
utter wantoness. Many think, however,
that it may be a legacy of somewhat
similar row two years ago and that the men
had a grudge against Moore or mistook him
for someone else against whom they bore
emnity.
The police are somewhat nonplussed and
at a late hour tonight had found no definite
clew, although they have made several ar
rests.
The people here are much excited over
the matter and the assault is being eagerly
discussed.

STRIKE NOT SETTLED.
Biddeford Mill Operatives Advised to
Stay Out.
waoss sait b - lsu-Aesat says Mills NJ
oisrspssssaisd.

BIppEfoRD, June l5.--Thc expected
settlement Of the Pepperell and Laconis
mill operatives strike will not come to-
morrow. Everything today looked like the
ending of the trouble, but new complica-
tons arose this afternoon, and tonight the
strikers were advised TO remain out longer.
Lawyer N. l.. Lixotte, member of the
strikers committee, went to ride today
with ex-City Marshal Tarbox, who ID
employed by the corporations to do detec-
tive work during the strike, and while they
were away the story Was started that Lii
xotte had been brihed.
He denied and resented the charge at q
mass meeting of the strikers in the Opera
house tonight. Then he advised them to
continue the strike, because at the confer
ence with Agent Macarthur this afternoon
he ~ould not make any definite concession
to the strikers committee, hut simply told
hem that if the strikers would return to
work he would see what could be done for
them.
Lixotte cautioned the strikers to be or
derly and keep away from the mill gates.
He also made the claim that the wages paid
by the Pepperell and Laconia mills are
lower than those paid by four of the five
manufacturing cities of Massachusetts. New
Hampshire and Maine. visited by the spec
ial committee sent out by the strikers. He
read table of comparative wages COM
piled by the committee.
Other members of the committee ad-
dressed the strikers in the same line. The
probability is that the strikers will nearly
all remain out tomorrow. A few more en-
ployes were working at the mills today than
yesterday. Agent Macarthur denies the
claim that the cuts have been heightened.
lie says the parties who showed two cuts
of Lsconia sheetings at the strikers meeting
last night, misrepresented the company.
One contained 5,i S-4 yards, and the other
10 S-4, and the speaker who showed them
said the cloth was woven on IS yard
standard.
The agent says the standard of goods
shown is 80 yards and that cuts vary, there
being As many short ones as long cuts in
every bale, and that no bale exceeds the
standard.
