Patents
Notice to InvetorS,

There was never time in the history OF
our country when the demand for Inventions
and improvements in the arts and sciences
generally was so great as now. The con-
venences of mankind in the factory and
work shop, the household, on the farm, and
to the appurtenances and implements to each
in order to save labor, time ard expense
The political change in the administration
of government does not affect the progress
OF the American inventor, who beng On the
alert, and ready to perceive the existing
deficiencies, does not permit the affairs of
government to deter him from quickly con.
ceiy,ng the remedy to overcome existing
discrepancies. Too great care cannot be
exercised in choosing competent and skill
full attorney to prepare and prosecute an
application tor patent Valuable interests
haye been lost and destroyed in nnuu,erable
instances by the employment Of incompe-
tent counsel and especially Is &is advice
applicable to those who adopt the NO pat
ent, no pay" system. Inventors who thrust
their business to this class of attorneyA do
so at imminent risk, as the breadth andsp
strength of the patent is never considered in
view of a quick endeavor to get an allowance
and obtain the fee then due. THE PRESS
CLAIMS COMPANY, John Wedderburn.

No Blanks in this Competition

This is a competition Of rather an unusual
nature 1t is common to offer prizes for the
best story, or picture, or architectural plan,
all the competitors rsklng the loss of their
labor and the successful one merely selling
his for the amount of the prize. But the
Press Claims Company's offer is something
entirely different Each person Is asked
merely to help himself and the one who
helps himself to the best advantage is to be
rewarded for doing it The prize Is only q
stimulus to do something that would be well
worth doing it The architect whose COM
petltive plan for a club house on certain
corner is not accepted has spent his labor on
something of very little use to him But the
person who patents SIMPLE and useful de-
vice in the Press Claims Company's Compe.
tition, need not worry if he fail to secure the
prize. He has a substantial result to show
for his work-one that will command its yal-
ue in the market at any time
The PLAIN man who uses any article in his
daily work ought to know better how to i'm
prove 1t than the mechanical expert who
studies it only from the theoretical point of
view Get rid of the idea that an improve.
ment can be too simple to be worth patent
ing. The simpler the better. The person
who best succeeds in combining simplicity
and popularity, will get the Press Claims
Company's twenty five hundred do liars

Judged from the fact that its stock is held BY

THE LITTLE THINGS THE
MOST VALUABLE.

Comparatively few people regard them
selves a. inventors, but almost everybody
has been struck, at one time or another,
with ideas that seemed calculated to reduce
some of the little frictions of life. Usually
such ideas are dismissed without fnrther
thought
"Why don't the railroad company make
its car windows so that they could be slld up
and down without breaking the passengers
backs?' exclaims the traveller. IN were
running the road l would make them IN sach
q way
"What was the man that made this sauce
pan thinking off, grumbles the COOK ne
never had to work oyer stoye, or he would
have known how it ough TO have been fixed
Hang such collar button y growls the
man who is late for breakfast. "lf were In
the business I'd make buttons that wouldn't
slip out or break of, or gougc out the back
Of my neck"
And then the various sufferers forget about
their grievances 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, and then apply
for patents, they might find themselves as
independently wealthy rs the man who in
vented the iron umbrella ring, or the one
who patented the fifteen puzzle.

The Press Claims Company devotes much
attention to patents. 1t has handled thous-
ands of applications for inventions, but IL
would like to handle thousands more. fhere
is plenty of inventive talent in this country,
needing nothing but Q n courag EN- en-
to produce practical results. That encour-
apement the Press Claims Company pro-
poses to give:
NOT SO HARD AS 1T SEEMS,
A patent strikes most people as an appall-
ingly formidable thing. The idea ie that "a an
| inventor must be natural genius, like Ed
son or Bell that he must put years to delving
In complicated mechanical problems and
that he must spend fortune on delicate ex'
perimens before he can get new device 10
a patentable degree of perfection. ms de-
lus,on the company desires to dlspel. 1t de-
sires to get into the head of the public clear
comprehension of the fact that 1t is not the
great, complex, and expensive Inventions
that bring the best returns to their authors
but the little, simple and cheap ones-the
things that seem so absurdly trivial that the
citizen 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 'hVeh-
tions have not been sufficient to pay the cost
of bis experiments. But the man VINO con
ceived the idea of fastening bit OF rubber
cord to childs ball, so that it would come
back to his hand when thrown made a for
tune out of his scheme. The modern sew
ing.machne is a miracle OF ingenuity
product of the toll ofhundIeds busy brains
through hundred and fifty years, but the
whole brilliant result rests upon the simple
device of putting the eye of the needle at the
point instead of the other end.

BOSTON, Jan. 9.-Mary Kennedy. a domestic in the employ of Mrs. Minnie N. Martin of Cambridge, Saturday night plundered burglar who was trying to rob the house of her mistress. After supper Mrs. Martin and her daughter went out and left the house in charge of the servant girl. They had hardly departed when the servant thought she would run out for while.
 When she came back she found the house lighted up and on the way to her apartment she was startled at seeing a satchel lying upon the table in the cen ter of the diningroom. The thought at once flashed through her mind that there might be burglars in the house.
 Entering the diningroom she grabbed
 the bag and made a wild dash for the door The last seen of the man he was jumping from the piazza. The bag was found to contain diamond rings, gold watches and necklaces. The Mar tins estimated their value at over Si500.

 WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.--It will be re- mem bered that some time ago on the indorsenent of AIr. Pendleton of Texas. G R. Mobley of Waco was appointed consul at Baracoa. Cuba. Mir Mobley, however, mixed himself upin the Hogg- Clark factional fight in Texas and incl dentally offended Senator Coke. The senator rejected the nomination of MT. Mobley and caused the senate to do so. Mir. Pendleton has ever since been ac- tive in seeking to bring about a harmo nious settlement of the case and has finally prevailed on Senator Coke to withdraw his heretofore determined opposition to Mobley. MT. Pendleton went to see the president. with this statement of the case. The president, however. very emphatically refused to renominate NIT. Mobley for any position whatsoever. He said that if MT. Mob ley was unable on his first nomination 10 obtain the support of his senators he could not be considered in connection with other places regardless of how the senators might change their minds.
