Some Pec1liaritics Which Crop Out u

It has for many years been the GUS
tom of the patent Office to give an ap-
plicant an interval Of two years be-
tween the filing of an application and
final action upon it. If, at the end OF
two years, nothing was done about it,
the claim was looked upon as aban-
doned, and was thrown out.
Recently newlruling was made, linn
iting the time to six months. It-might
have been published in many of the.
newspapers--it certainly was in some
but it did not become generally un-
derstood throughout the country.
In consequence of this state of thincs
great many inventors have, without
notice, found their claims thrown out of
the patent Office, and are thus compelled
to make a new application in order to
sustain said claims. ..-
While it is necessary to have time
limit, and while ignorance of the law
excuses no man, it would be no NOR,
than justice to The inventor to print
upon every letter acknowledging tire
fling OF a claim and upon all forms re-
lating to correspondence on applica-
tlons and claims the statement that
the six-months limit had been made,
and that cases not considered within
that time would be barred from further
action. Within the last few months
several persons who have been in the
habit of taking out patents, and who are
tolerably familiar with patent office
business, have had claims thrown out
because they did not happen to be
aware of this new ruling. They made
their applications, supposing that the
two-year limit existed, and now find
themselves compelled to make another
or throw up their case al
together. This is not only unjust, but
and extortionate. 1t looks
like an utter disregard of the applicants
interest and an arbitrary inclination to
take advantage of his ignorance.
AS rule, patentees are people of ex-
tremely small means, and the filing of d
second application, with fees, etc., is
no trifling item to them.
The attention of the patent Office, as
well as the congressional committee on
patents, is to be called to this, and ef-
rorts are to be made to have the clause
the six-months limit print
ed on every form that is used in corre-
spondcnce between the patent Office and
The applicant.-N. Y. Ledger.

The civil war ended more than thirty.
one years ago Yet there are $40 67S
names on the pension rolls, and it will
take l70, 900 .000s OF the peoples money
to pay their pensions during the next
year. The total amount of pensions thus
far paid is 2,034 .8l7 1895, or nearly as
much as the greatest public debt the ma
ton ever owed. These facts are scan.
dalons Of course They can only mean
that hundreds of thousands Of names are
on tine pension rolls that ought not to be
there; that for political reasons lave,
general and special, have been passed
with shameful Indifference 10 justice and
to the rights OF the great BODY Of indus
trious people who must pay. The su
pre,ne cour, holds that pension once
granted is vested right and cannot be
withdrawn. But surely congress can
now refrain from adding to the pension
charge faster than natural causes reduce

MONEY SHARKS OUTDONE
Postal Employees Cannot in the
Future Give an Order for
Their Money.
The Local Federal Force Has Hith.
erto Been a Profitable Field
for Note -Shavers.

Local shavers and money brokers
are much disturbed over an order just is
sued by the Postmaster-General concern
ing the loaning of money to carriers, postal
clerks and other Government employees.
There are several hundred Federal en-
ployes in San Francisco, there being no
less than 207 letter-carriers. The money
sharks have had an easy thing of ii, CASH
ing thirty, sixty and ninety-day notes and
accepting an order on the Postmaster, a u
thorizing the amount to be withheld from
the clerk or carriers salary.
The following order, however, is intended
to dampen the ardor of those who have
for so many years successfully carried on
their cent per cent game:
Ny attention having been called to the fact
that certain money-lending concerns are adj
vertising to loan money to railway postal
clerks, letter-carriers and other Government
EN- ployes, taking note therefor and an order
amount to be withheld from the clerks salary
in the event of his failure to pay the note at
maturity, / desire to state on behalf of the
PGstoffice Department that such agreenf
are disapproved; that paying pOstmasters are
forbidden to recognize the orders guarantee
yiduais or companies loaning money to en-
ployes of this department under any such
guarantee will receive no aid or assistance in
the collection of their accounts.
WILLIAM J.. WILSON, Postmaster General.
The local authorities are pleased over
the stand taken by the department at

ST. GEORGES CLUB OF SAN FRANCISCO.

IL,
3l7 Mason street, June 10, 1885,
Citp Editor San Francisco Catl-DEAR SIR: /
have lust read the article in your issue OF this
morning on the above club, and while thank
ing Won for your many kind and generally cor
rect notices | would like to correct the impress
sion conveyed in the one OF this morning to
the effect that the prominent members are fig
uring upon holding professional athletic con-
tests as such an impression might work US
some injury among our friends.
am in full sympathy with the sentiments
EXPRESSED by William Greer Harrison as re-
ported this morning, and l am sure that fully
two-thiras of our members would also lndorse
Mr.. Harrison's opinions that the club should
stick to its original plan, the principles of
which are sociabiity, goodlellowship and the
announcement of healthy amateur athletics.
1t is true that the club is arranging an ath-
letic tournament in the Mechanics Pavilion
that is intended to help swell its building fund,
and a couple of days ago, at the request OF the
committee having the matter in hand, tele-
graphed Frank S,avin, asking If he would meet
Choynski in ten-round contest; but the idea
that the club. has decided TO go in for series
of professional tournaments is a mistake.
received an answer from SlavIn yesterday to
the effect that he was willing to meet Choynski,
hnt ms Slayin has since been knocked out in
short order by Maher the San Francisco public
might not be SO anxious to see hiE or Mr..
Choynski to meet him.
Although Mr.. William Greer Harrison &C.
cepted the presidency OF the ST. Georges Club
on the understanding that he should not be
called upon for active service, we shall expect
occasionally to nave the benefit of his advice
and valuable experience, which at all times
will receive the attention 1t SO well deserves.
Yours very sincerely
EDWARD OLIVER, Secretary
