The Londonderry sifter. (South Londonderry, Vt.) 1883-19??, 1896-03-06

Excuse our Latin, but if not quite class
ical, it is to the point, as the above return
made by the sheriff on the writ when his
prisoner took refuge in the swamp, ex-
actly expresses the condition of the De
Laval Separator Company, as disclosed
by their latest advertisement.
Nearly one-half of that "ad" is entirely
foreign to the patent matters, and on per-
sonalities with no foundation in fact.
Everybody realizes that when anyone
stoops to personalities to cover up the
main issue, as the De Laval Company
does, they have no valid arguments, and
are cornered.
Notice. Ist. The De Laval Company, in
referring to Hotchkiss and Houston,
whom that company advertise the court
decreed should not use the Hotchkiss
Separator does not deny that they do use
the Improved United States Separator.
Notice. ed. If the claims of the De La
val Company that the United States was
an infringement were true, the court
would have Immediately granted an in
junction against Hotchkiss and the Others
who were using the United States, whom
it had already decreed could not use the
Hotchkiss machine; but the fact that the
De Laval Company did not get an injunc-
tion against the United States is conclu
sive that the United States Separator
does not infringe, and the fact remains
that Hotchkiss and the others are using
them without molestation. This is prima
facie evidence that the claim that the Uni
ted States Separator infringes their pa
tent is false, and is only put out for the
purpose of frightening persons who pre-
fer the United States. The patent that
they claim decree on covers only the
internal construction of the bowl, COM
prising series Of disks or inherited pie
plates or pudding dishes, ,oith hole through
the bottom, numbering from t,renty-seres
to forty.fre Of these plates in each bO,el, ac-
cording to the size of the bowl. The Uni
ted States Separator has nothing of the
kind, and has only three parts to the bo'ol.
The simplicity of the United States and
its perfect work is what is knocking the
De Laval Company silly"
Notice, Sd. The De Laval Company ad-
vertises that two firms of lawyers say
the United States Separator infringes
their patents. Two years ago .hey ad-
vertised, as they do now, for the purpose
of bull-dozing and frightening persons
who prefer the United States, the opin-
ions of four firms of lawyers. They hare
no,o dropped one-half the number, and in
| two years more the other t,co ,riU drop
out, and be ashamed that they ever made
such statement. The court does not so
decree, and it is the decree of the court
that carries authority with it, and not the
opinion of lawyers who are paid large
| fees.
| Notice, 9Th. The De Laval Company has
claimed for more than len years that
every separator wasNan iafiiuseine..t. ye
in all tbs ,iiHe they have &c s,as...ineu
their claims except against Hotchkiss,
who made no defence; and Houston and
all the other users of Hotchkiss' machine
were assured that if they would only al
low docrec to be entered against them,
the De Laval Company would pay all
costs and damages themselves. 1t there

advance of them in the future than it is
, to day. Did anyone eOer hfa, more hild-
isl and aAamiliating 7ohine Than that?
Notice, 10th. The De Laval Company
use considerable space to explain the Ex-
pertinent Station records of tests of sep
arators which show that their separator
was beaten in the tests-and utter anoth-
er whine. 1t is too bad for them that
their Separators are beaten by the United
States at the stations, but fortunate for
the dairy public that the superiority of
| the United States Separators has been so
| clearly demonstrated at these stations.
| Notice, 18th. The DE Laval Company
intimate that the United States Separa-
tors are run at stations under the super
visions of experts. Now let US see what
the facts are. At the Vermont Expert
ment Station creamery course just closed
the United States had one man only to
look after them. The De Laval had their
county agent, the general agent for New
England, an expert from the factory in
New York, and an expert direct from the
main factory in Stockholm, Sweden, to
look after their separators. The De Lavsl
Company always have more men at the
stations to look after their machines than
any other separator company, and yet
they complain that others are allowed
even one representative, and he not an
expert. They whine because the United
States had one man to Their tosr.
Notice, I2th. The De Laval Company,
not being satisfied with having more op-
orators and experts than any other sepa-
rator company to look after their separa-
tors, in addition to this had the impudence
to issue and send to the Experiment Sta
ton circular letter, the burden of which
was that the Stations shonld not make
the mistake of trying new and improved
machines, but should give the De Laval
the preference, with the hope, no doubt,
of having the officials run the Stations in
the interests of the De Laval Company
rather than in the interests of the dairy
public.
In the foregoing we have stated the
case truthfully, and we believe fairly,
and we think every reader will concede
that we commenced our article with a
proper quotation, and agree with us that
if the De Laval Company's slippery hold
upon the stump should give way, they
would go clear out of sight .iu the mire.
We haze been Incorporated and do
ing business for % years, ocning
many raluable patents, and manutact-
u,tng under them. We employ the best
patent experts in the United States and
nerer haze intringed other patents and
necer expect to-; and neither riW we al
low the De Laral Company, nor any
one else, to infringe oar patents nth

purchaser of orr manufactures has
erer had to pay one cent Of costs or
damages for any claimed infringement.
We hare aivays protected or patrons

patrons.

Go see Dame Crockett,

Tuesday, town meeting day, was
very disagreeabe day to be out be-
sides the going was bad, owing to the
thaw that had just closed. In cen
sequence the attendance at the an
nual meeting was light. Harmony
prevailed, most of the officers being
chosen by hand vote. The following
is list of those chosen:
Moderator, F. Winchester; clerk,
Miss Minnie A. Tyler; Treasurer,
Fl. d. Tyler; selectmen, j. W. Mel
endy, f. NJ Leonard, A. c. Gibson /;
road commissioner, M. G. Huntley !;

H A. Dudley; town grand juror, F.
Winchester; town agent, II. A. Dud-
ley; auditors, G. M. Eames, NJ. G.
Vaile, B. F. Millington.
Tax voted 135 cents to be paid to
the treasurer on or before Dec 1st.
Fred Vaile declined reelection
as selectman.
Dame Crockett is coming.
The new school director is a Young
man but few years past his MAORI
ty. He has had considerable expe
rience In teaching and has business,
practical mind that will insure him
success.
The town did the handsome thing
Tuesday in electing Miss Minnie
Tyler town clerk. Heretofore the
honor has been given to her father
with the full knowledge that the work
of the office would be done by her.
1t was, then, entirely fitting, as long
AS this fact was likely to continue,
that she should be given the honors
as well as the labor. Miss Tyler is
very capable and efficient in this po-
sition
Those interested in dairying will
read the ad of The Vermont Farm
Machine Co. in this issue. This ad
is an answer to one published in
many Vermont papers last week by
the De Laval company. The same
was sent to the SITTER but was de-
clined on account of its abusive char
acter. A fight is going on between
these firms, and while our advertising
columns are open to all, our sympa-
thies are with Vermontels and the in
dustries they represent, so when the
outsider gets scurilous we kick him
out. This is a practical application
of the doctrine of protection.

THE REGIMENTS RETURN.
Col. LavtOn Says II Was the hest
Trip II Has Ever Had.

Col. LawtOn Says II Was the BEST
Trip IL Has Ever Had.
The First Regiment and the Savannah
Naval Reserve returned from Atlanta
yesterday morning at o'clock, ana
marched to their armories in a pouring
rain.
The men were in good spirits and were
evidently well pleased with their trip.
Col. Lawton and all the officers and men
who were seen unanimously voted the trip
the best the regiment has ever taken
First and foremost, was the knowledge
of the fact that they had been the most
marked command in line and had thor
oughly illustrated Savannah. This fact
was made known to them by the com
mendation which they received on all
sides, not only from the crowds along the
line of the parade. but from the officers
OF other commands, who agreed In say.
ing that the First Regiment presented the
most soldierly appearance Of any com.
mand in line. The members of the regt.
ment could see that for themselves mn
they preferred to hear II from others.
With the single exception Of the acct
dent to Lieut.. Col. Reilly on the return
trip there was not single break or hitch
OF any kind from the time the regiment
left the armory in Savannah until its
return to the same place. Everything
moved like clockwork The men were

FOUND IN THE RIVER.
Body of An Unknown White Man
Picked Up Mt the Market Dock.

Body of An Unknown White Man
Picked Up Mt the Market Dock.
The body of an unknown white man was
found floating in the river opposite the
Barnard street dock yesterday afternoon
The body was seen by some negro boat
men who tied it to the dock.
Coroner Goette was notified by the po-
lice and made an investigation. 1t was
reported that the body was that of we'll
know character around the city, but this
was not the case. The body had evil
IDENTIFY been in the water three or four
days, and was in a bad condition. 1t was
apparently that of man about 80 years
of age.
The body was neatly dressed in a blue
flannel suit. The only paper found in the
mans pockets was a solicitors book CT
the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company,
showing, apparently, that the deceased
had solicited for that institution. The
names of several negroes were found in
the book who had apparently insured
themselves or their children with the
company. The Metropolitan employs a
number Of agents, in many instances men
who have only been in the city a short
time. Two or three agents of the com
pany who viewed the body
could not identify it. 1t was
taken to the morgue at Laurel Grove. An
effort will be made to Identify it to-day.
A pair of eyeglasses and 25 cents IN
change were all that was found in the
drowned mans pockets, besides the lote

Applicants for Marriage Licenses
Dc Not Always Get Them.

Do Not Always Get Them.
Clerk Keilbach of the court of ordinary
has a great many peculiar cases to deal
with in the way of people who want mar
rage licenses. Some OF the laws with re
gard to issuing licenses in Georgia are
rather stringent, and for that reason
many of the applicants are often closely
questioned. Especially is this the case
when the actions of the party applying
for a license are in any way suspicious
One thing that is always asked Is
whether the lady is IS years old or over,
and another is whether she resides in
Chatham county. There are many appli
cants who fail TO comply with one or the
other of these requirements, and then
they must get the sanction of the
lady's parents, or they must sax
isfy the ordinary that their
case is all right, and that there is not
going to be any disturbance created In
case the license is issued. The ordinary.
under the law, strange to say, is not per-
mitted to issue a marriage license when
the lady lives in another county. In con-
nection with this prohibition, there is u
penalty of $500 put upon him if it is vio-
lated.
The ordinary has many applications of
this kind but in every instance the license
of course, has to be refused. Only re-
Gently a gentleman who was here from
another county, and who expected to meet
the lady he wanted to marry on one of
the incoming steamers, was refused "A
license because she did not live in Chat
ham county. He telegraphed to her home
county, however, and secured a license
from the ordinary there almost as soon
as the steamer arrived.

ON THE EVE OF THE BATTLE.
Rev. C. H. Strong breaches o
Thoughts Inspired by II.

The subject of Rev. c. H. strong's dis
course at St. Johns church last night
was Patriotic Thoughts of Our Country
on the Eve of the Great Battle"
There was nothing political in Mr..
Strongs remarks, though his subject
might Indicate it, He did not advise any
body as to what candidate or what plat
form he should support. His text was
Proverbs 14:34: Justice exalteth nation,
but sin is a reproach to any people"
Mr. Strong expressed the belief that
the United States is the best country in
the world and contrasted it's condition
with other less fortunate countries. The
people of the various sections, the various
classes and the various industries were
all interdependent upon one another, he
said, and any attempt to array one class
against another is wrong. Such attempts,
he said, were distilling subtle poison IN
the minds of the people likely to produce
dangerous results.
Unlimited suffrage. Mr.. Strong said, is
one of the evils with which this country
has 20 contend, and which must De RENE
died sooner or later.
This is an era of consolidation and COM
bination on the one hand, as well as OF
greater individuality on the other, was an
other of Mr. Strong's thoughts. Combna-
ton as a natural result of trade conditions
is not an evil, he said. but trusts and mon
opolies which decrease production and re-
duce wages, while raising prices to con-
sumers, are evils which must be combat
ted.
The settlement of all these antagomstc
differences, he said, was matter or law
and not of anarchy bloodshed or bull
let's The one great idea of the Anglo-Sax-
on race, he said, is its characteristic love
of civil liberty and this with the spiritual
forms of Christianity which was always
permeated this nation, would prove its
safeguards in all public crisis.
In conclusion Mr.. Strong urged the duty
of voting conscientiously for the princi-
pies which one believes to be right, and
not according to the dictates of party.
The singing of Mrs. Mize, who appeared
for the first time at st. Johns, was very
much admired. Her rendition of the Ave
Maria" by w. T. Francis was much en-
joyed.
