WHEN ALL THINGS IN NATURE
START AFRESH.
Some other Things in Which the Ancients
Have Given Us Points.

The ancients began then year with the
advent Of spring. How much more ap-
propriate thus to begin the New Year
with.t the new life Of nature in the
awak ening spring. AT this season all
processes throughout the natural world
start afresh.
The ancients also showed their sagacity
and appreciation of the great changes and
active processes of the spring-time, by
realizing that this is also the time for re-
newed life and energy in the human sys-
tenn. They well knew that the blood
should be oleansed from impurities and
the nerves re-invigorateu at this season.
Hence the establishment of the custom
Of taking good spring n edicine.
This nest sensible and healthy custom
is followed by almost everybody at the
present day, few PEOPLE Of intelligence
venturing to go through this trying
time Of change from winter to summer
without taking spring medicine.

In the United States Court yesterday
afternoon before Judge Webb, the hearing
was beg IN on the preliminary injunc-
tian whereby the E. 7. Burrowes Com
pany seeks to restrain the Davis Car
Shade Company from the use of pinch
handles in the manufacture of their car
shades, claiming that it is an infringe
ment of their patent.
This case is more or less familiar to
the public, it having bean the subject
of litigation for several years.
L. S. Bacon, ESQ.,, of Washington, D.
O., appeared for the e. T. Burrowes Com
pany, together with Daniel W. Snow
ESQ.,, representing Symonds. Snow &
Cook, the company's attorneys.
s. W. Bates, ESQ.,. appeared for the
Davis Car Shade Company.
MT. Bacon opened by reading the aft
davits. Mr.. Bates followed with his
argument for the defence, which was in
progress when the court adjourned at G
O'Clock.
A brief outline of the case is as fol-
lows; The Il, Z, Burrowes Company pur-
CHASED the original patent of the hollow
curtain stick with rubber tips holding
the curtain in position by pressing
against the castings. The inventor was
q man named Hall. Mr.. Geo. FL. Davis
was employed by Mr.. Burrowes at that
time in the manufacture of these cur
tains. Soon after Mr.. Davis invented
a hollow stick curtain that was in no
way an Infringement upon the Hall
patent, but of course similar in idea.
He lett Mr.. Burrowes's employ and be-
gan the manufacture of these curtains.
He used at first the button handle to
turn the devise in the hollow curtain
stick so as to relieve the pressure on
the castings and allow the curtain to
move.
Later he used pinch handles. The E.
L. Hurrowes Company claims that the
use of these pinch handles in such a
connection is an infringement of their
patent,
The defendant claims that the use of a
pl neh handle is free to anybody and
th at whether applied to a hollow curtain
or not its use is not an INFRINGEMENT

MEMORIAL LIBRARY.

The Memorial Library has already be-
come powerful auxiliary to our public
schools. The value of the work it is
doing among our young people is meal
oulable. 1t deserves and undoubtedly re-
oeives the favor of ali the citizens of
Westbrook. Everyone, recognizes he fact
that the money appropriated for It's sup
port clearly carries with it as great an
influence for good as any of the city ap-
preparations. 1t is an expenditure for
the prom otion of intelligence and good
citizenship and will come back to this
municipality by more than four fold
return in many ways.
Our citizens should appreciate the fact
that this library offers advantages that
are obtainable only in cities much larger
than Westbrook. Its method of manage
ment by which the library with it's spec
ial reading room supplied with the daily
and weekly papers and monthly maga-
zines, is open to the public for 10 hours
of each secular day of the year, is some
thing unusual in city the size of ours.
The library contains 521S volumes and is
yearly increasing. The average daily.
circulation Of books for the past year was
1888 The amount of the appropriation
for the library last yenr was $500, and
this is the sum recommended by he
Regents for the coming year
OTHER APPROPRIATED
AS the different needs of the almshouse
and farm, the out door poor, street lights
and other matters connected with our
CITY are brought to your attention, l
trust you will treat them in spirit of
business like fairness and judge each ap-
wholly upon its merits.
