yesterday a bill for the shortening of the
terms OF patents in certain cases. ANY
inventor desiring to obtain two or more
stents for an invention under the bill is
entitled to do 30 upon usual proceedings.
whether the inventions be capable Of d.
vision mechanically or on physical lines, or
the applications differ merely in the form or
scope Of claims presented. 1t is provided
that all such patents shall be issued on
the same day, or IL not so issued, each of
the later ones shall be issued only for the
unexpired portion Of the one first granted,
SO as to cause them all to expire together
Purchasers under any such patents shall
not be required to pay royalty under the
others any of them. Two or more pat
ents shall not be issued to the same inVen-
tor containing the same claims.
Where two or more patents have been
heretofore issued to the same inventor, diff
fering in form or scope of claims or other
wise. the patentee or his representa- tive
shall be entitled, on paying the govern
ment 800. to file waiver or disclaimer of
so much of the term Of each of the late
patents as extends beyond the date of ex-
piration Of that first granted so as to cause
all to expire together, in which case of
waiver or disclaimer the validity of the
latter patent is not to be affected by the
prior issuance or existence of the patent
first granted.
Purchasers Of any such patents shall not
be required to pay royalty under patent

trust in the Lord Jesus Christ to save you"
Then Mr.. Moody took up the thread
where DR.. McKim dropped.
There Is a line In the Bible which says
God 10 my salvation use that line more
than anything else. I don't know of any
thing which shows the way clearer than
that. The first step Is to trust Him. Swear
that from this night you will trust Him.
He won't betray your trust
will you trust Him." asked Mr.. Moody
in an earnest tone. "Just say you will"
There was silence for a moment. Then

for ten or fifteen minutes. while Mr.. Moody
exhorted and encouraged them to speak.
came the responses-some low and hesitat-

They Arose for Prayer.
Then Mr.. Moody asked If there were not
people in the. audience who wanted to be
prayed for, some one who needed prayer.
"You may probably never have such an
opportunity in your life again to have the
prayers of so many thousand persons con-
centrated upon you personally. Just rise
and sit down again and We will take that
as an indication that you want 10 be pray
ed for"
instantly a dozen people arose to their
feet and then within the next ten minutes
probably fifty people made the sign OF their
cation. The chorus sang the hymn. My
Faith Looks Up to Thee" and then While
the 6Sth and Goth hymns were sung. one
afteS another. Mr.. Moody 5esought the
people to open their hearts to the word.
At his suggestion Christian people all over
the hall passed from person to person " hom
they might think were open to conviction,
and pleaded with them to give their hearts
to God. Earnestly they labo-ed, with the
converts of the evening especially.
Mr.. Moody asked the converts to hand
in their names that all might receive
books After further singing the meeting
closed with o benediction.

DOle's Point Against LiliuOkalan nj.

A Boston evening newspaper has an in
teresting special from its Honolulu CORE
spondent, dated February 3. consisting of
an interview with President Dole, in which
that gentleman makes several points not
hitherto brought out. He dwells with en-
phasis on the claim that it was the queen
herself who was the insurgent.
'She has rebelled against her own govern
ment. A revolt on her part was equal to
an abdication. There was then no govern
meat at ALL said President Dole
He said that, annexation or not, the pro-
visional government was built to last, and
was SO looked upon from the first. No re-
election of president will ever be allowed.

SHOWING Ar NEW YORK.
Tramc Of All Kinds Impeded - High
Winds Blew.


New York city was last night covered
with a mantle Of snow several inches thick.
Traffic Of all kinds was greatly impeded
and the Inconvenience to pedest TRANS was
so great that none but those who were
compelled TO do so ventured on the street.
The snow began to fall IN the afternoon
and continued steadily for several hours.
Railroad traffic was demoralized. All trains
were behind time and mails were delayed
from all sections. The street railroads were
operated with difficulty. The wind was
high.
The traffic on the river was impeded.
The ferry boats were late and did not make
their accustomed number of trips. The
pilots had to guess their way to the slips,
for the snow was SO thick they could not
see boats length ahead. The weather
bureau predicts that the days experience
was the advance guard of one of the most
severe storms of the winter and would be
followed by very cold wave.
The absence of any reports from the
southwest indicated that the wires had been
blown down. No reports from the south
west Of the Arkansas valley were received.

BOROUGH TOWNS.

The Extraordinary Powers Formerly Pos.
sessed by Them in England.
Borough towns in England had for
| merly extraordinary powers. Each had
it's system of home rule, and was a little
imperium in imperiO. 1t controlled it's
trades, manufactures and professional
occupations, the numbers to be en-
ployed, and fixed the price of wages
and commodities. 1t determined what
were offenses against the order, morals
and well-being of the borough, and its
codes assigned the punishnents. Its
bylaws were u tyranny, and it's mayor
was frequently little despot, as real
as any cadi of the east.
In the court of Hastings book were
recorded the presentments of the jury,
and we know from these what were
the offenses and modes of punishment.
The magistrates at sessions did as much
for county matters and fixed the prices
of all labor. No one could trade from
one county to another without their
license. just as no stranger could follow
an occupation or reside in a borough
without the mayors permit. The
tumbrel, stocks, pillory, branks and
the skimmington were the usual in
struments of punishment for slight of
fenses, but the cuclSing stool was the
favOrite for Scolds and chea ting bakers.
Whipping was constantly resorted to,
and was thought especially good for
women and boys. Anyone willing
might be employed to perform it. and
sometimes a woman undertook it for
the sake of the fee. which varied from
four pence to a shilling. To witness it
formed a part of public amusement. as
in the case of hanging, and men visited
the jails on whipping days to see the
women whipped. Forestalling-buy
ing out of market to sell again above
market price-was very grave ofense,
and was severely punished.
\ Mr.. Rusby. an eminent corn fac
tor. was indicted in the court of kings
bench on July 4. 1900. for having pur-
chased by sample eight months before,
of oats at II shillings per quarter, and
sold SO of them again in the same mar
ket, on the same day. at A shillings.
The jury instantly found him guilty,
and Lord Kenyon, the judge. said to
them: You have conferred by your
verdict. almost the greatest benefit on
your country that was ever conferred
by any jury" A quiet stroll on Sun
day, during the summer evening, was
visited by heavy fine Or the stocks. A
boy, for riding on gate on Sunday
afternoon. was ordered to be whipped.

right now, that the hyena who comes

Yes. sir was the quiet response.
''If you had sent man to notify me

given him the cash at once. but when

''Yes, SIR said the clerk with a nod.
