HIS MONOPOLY GONE.


N'hJ, the Resent Decision Regarding
the Edison Lamp Means,
New York, April pa morning pa
per says that the claims Of the Edison
Electric company to the exclusive right
to manufacture iucandcScont lamps
received something of a set back in
st. Louis last Friday, when Judge
Hallet, in the United States circuit
court, refused to issue an injunction
to restrain the Columbia Incandes-
cent Lamp company from making
them
AT least seven lamp factories have
been restrained by injunctons from
making lamps The Edison compa-
mics were prepared to wipe out the
three or four establishments remaining
when the court refused to sustain
them in the Columbia case by render
ns decision that there was prima
facie evidence that Henry Goebel Of
New York invented the incandeScent
lamp and not Thomas A. Edison. Tn
til the case is passed upon by the SUI
preme court of the United States, the
Columbia company, having given bond
Of $4,000, can go on making the lamps.
None of the CONS anies which were
already under injunction when the de
ciSion was rendered can resume bust
ness unless the courts that issued them
reverse the injunctions The claim
that Goebel invented the lamp is prac-
tically q new one in the litigation 1t
was first introduced in a case before
Judge Colt in Boston, where the Bea
con company was restrained from max
ing the lamps but the facts had been
imperfecty collected, It is claimed.
Since then, however. 232 witnesses
have been found who support Goebel's
claim and it was on their testimony
that Judge Hallet rendered lis de-
cision II Is now likely that al the
cases win be re-opened upon this ties

TO SIMPLIFY FUNERALS.
Association to Encourage the Burial of
Rich aud Poor Alike.

New York, April pa meeting in
the interests of the Burial Reform as
ISOLATION was held in Grace hall this
evening The members of the aSso-
citation, in view of the possible invasion
of cholera, have decided to meet and
discuss the simple and safe mode of
burial which the society advocates
with a view of attracting public atten-
ton to it.
The principal objects Of the associ-
alton are TO promote inexpensive funer-
ais for the rich and poor alike. to en-
courage burials in perishdble collins,
to prohibit the use of vaults and &C.
mcDtcd graves, to discourage any dis
play Of flowers and the use of crepe,
especially crepe wells The first propo-
Sition, the association thinks, should
recommend itself to all sensible people,
and the aim of the second is to secure
an earth-to-earth burial.
70 secure this result it is proposed to
use collins made only of pine, white
wood or poplar and to place them in
the grave without inclosing them in a
box. The coffin win thus more quickly
decay. and the innocuouS decompo-
sidon OF the body will be accomplished,

There is a strong probability that the
worlds fair will not close in October
according to the present program
and that it may not close during the
present year 1t is learned that an
energetic move has already been put
on foot by the leading representatives
Of the fair aided most heartily by the
people Of Chicago who have financially
backed the enterprise, TO continue it
for nearly a year, retaining all the
attractions possible.
1t is figured that a fine show can be
run through the fall and at least por-
ton of the winter and in that way q
large amount of money can be made to
help along the running expenses, The
effort to arrange a continuance, either
by general consent or as a private
speculation, is said to be quietly under
way, with a bright prospect Of success,

rns Bankers cosvEsrlox.

Logan County Review.
AT the bankers convention in Chi
cago on the 23d ult., they. said:
"Grave symptoms are now apparent
to warn us that the financial affairs
OF the country are anything but
healthful.
The legal tender quality Of silver
coin should be limited to 800. The
tax should DO removed from ma
tional bank notes and the issue there
of increased to the par Of bonds
pledged for their redemption"
The bankers are not satisfied with
the degradation Of silver, the sstab-
lishment of the single gold standard,
the enhancement OF the value Of the
money they handle, consequent
thereon, but they want the govern.
ment to issue them the full amount Of
circulation for which they deposit
bonds and take the little tax that ex-
lists, Of that circulation. As bonds
are untaxed that would leave this
class Of the community, who realize
more, with less risk and labor, than
any other class OF business men, from
their Investments, absolutely free
from the burden of taxation, to sup
port government which Comptroller
Eckles says has granted them special
and unusual privileges.
Human avarice is Unsuitable. Fa-
vored as no other class has ever been
favored, given special privileges,
granted monopoly of that which the
government never should have let
pass from its own management to the
control of individuals or corporations,
it would seem that their grasping
greed would have been satisfied, but
not SO. They want new concessions.
The list OF failures of national banks,
daily reported in the dispatches,
should be a warning to the people to
abolish them and let the government
do its own banking, as it always
should have done. Had it done SO
the telegraph wires would not, to-
day, be burdened with the reports OF
bankruptcies throughout the United
States.

TRULY DsPRAvEp CAT.
He Killed Duekiings and Used Dead Rats
to Divert Suspiciou

James Grogan, Wortendyck, n.
j., peddler, who is Familiarity known
as "Ginger' Grogan on account Of the
color OF his hair and the heat of his
temper, owns large yellow cat that,
according to its owners story, should
either be deprived OF all its nine lives
as fitting retribution for its stupen-
dous treacher or elevated to the
loftiast pinnacle of honor and emolu-
ment as the reward of hitherto I'M
heard Of feline sagacity.
Ginger" says that some time ago
his house was infested with rats that
not only attacked everything gnaw-
able but established such familiar re-
lations with the yellow cat that they
often ran over her back with i'm
punity. The peddler tried rough on
rats, which killed half hundred OF
the pests, and drove the rest from the
house to the barn. This was doubt
full victory, for the banished rats be-
gan to prey upon a brood of half
grown ducks that Grogan is raising.
They would not touch any more of
the rough on rats, probably because
they liked the flavor of the ducks
better. Recently the Cat took up her
quarters in the barn, and remained
there day and night. One morning
last week Grogan, going to the barn,
found the dead body Of an immense
rat, torn and bloody, with the cat
growing over 1t. She had killed it
but had not breakfasted from it.
Close to where the rodent had been
slaughtered lay the bones and
! feathers of a duckling. Everything
eatable about it had been consumed,
and the cat apparently had pounced
upon the rat just as he had finished
his meal. This was a very praise
worthy thing for the yellow cat to do,
but when she did it on eight success
siye mornings her owners gratifica-
tion was qualified by the loss of just
that number of young ducks He
thought she ought to kill the rats
more expeditiously, and he hid him.
self in the barn to ascertain why she
was so slow in killing them. He
says that he saw his cat kill duck
ling, devour it, and then drag the
bones to a position near rat hole
and wait patiently until the smell
tempted rat to come within reach
of her claws. Then she slaughtered
it, and sat by it's body growing until
her master saw her, hoping thus to
direct suspicion, that might other
wise be leveled against herself, in the
direction of the dead rat.

Railroads within :01 miles Of Chicago,
according TO the Tribune, have but little
snow bucking" to do.
Old engineers on the Northwestern
tell of times, when Chicago was some
what smaller than now, when they had
as hard battles with the drifts as any
road west of the Missouri. One tale is
told of a passenger train that ran into a
snowdrift on @Buckhorn" Hill. few
miles south of Milwaukee, and stuck
there twenty-four hours before it was
shoveled out The engine was buried
completely except a small hole over the
smoke stack melted out by smoke and
gases.
On another occasion the same winter
six engines coupled together made a
run for drift. The snow was packed
so hard that the engine carrying the
pillow left the rails and climbed up on
the snow. When they came to stop
and got down to investigate. the other
engine men found the front engine stick
ing up in the air at an angle of twenty
five degrees, and the engineer and fire.
man lying under the engine between
the firebox and the tank They were
not seriously hurt.
In the good old days that veteran
railroaders tell of snow bucking was
done by means OF "push-plow. which
was fashioned something like the plows
farmers use, except that instead OF
throwing the snow all to one side, as a
big farmers pillow would do it, threw il
equally on each side. In other words
the push-plow consists of two concave
