Editor Corners, of Buffalo, is attracting
a good deal of attention in newspaper cir
cles nowadays by his recent coup in con-
solidating the Buffalo Courier and Buffalo
Enquirer, thereby obtaining a right to the
privileges of the Associated Press. Mr..
Corners is Familiarity known as ''Fingy''
Corners, from the fact that he has lost his
't'umb," as he calls it. We do not under
stand that Mr.. Corners is a gentleman of
fine literary attachments. Certainly he
never graduated from any institution of
learning, and at a time when most young
men are at school or college he was SCOOP
ing grain at the elevators. But he has
considerable education of a practical sort.
with the result that he is now a millionaire
with more irons in the fire than an ordinary
man of college education could attend to
in twenty lives. Not ceptent with handling
ners took to himself a brewery as a sort
of side amusement. and finding thai he
still had some hours out of the twenty-four
unoccupied and a few thousand dollars
more than he could spend he bought a
newspaper and became an editor of dis
|tinction. if not of perfect qualification. As
an editor it did not take Mr.. Corners many
months to learn the limitations and ramif-
cations of journalism. and we are Indebted
TO him for one of the greatest truiSmS ever
uttered concerning our noble profession.
one day after an examination of his books
Mr.. Corners sat down and dictated this
sentiment in a letter to an interested
friend: They are more glory in running
they are more money in handling freight
than in running Il newspaper The La
contains themselves could not AVE put it

THE BERLINER DECISION.
The Bell Company Apparently Takes
hut Little Interest in 1t.

New York Letter.
Two or three years ago the decision of
the Supreme Court in the much-litigated
Berliner telephone case would have caused
more excitement in commercial electrical
circles than was, the case yesterday. when
the decision of the Supreme Court was re-
ported.
1t must be said that the opinion of the
Supreme Court has caused some surprise,
especially i'm view of its recent opinion in
the Transmissouri case. Under this Ber-
liner opinion 1T seems not to be impossible
for those who desire to obtain patents to
secure without apparent fault prolonged
delays at the Patent Office which will vir-
tually double the life Of the patent, as was
the case with the Berliner patent.
Expert patent lawyers say that the deci-
sion amounts to a virtual assertion hat the
Patent Office may without legal fault wait
eleven or twelve years before granting a
patent, and that this delay cannot of itself
be held to vitiate the patent or to shorten
Its life after it has been granted.
However,, this is comparatively immater-
ial In view OF the fact that the Berliner
patent is not regarded as of the Importance
now which was attached TO it when the liti-
cation began in Boston six or seven years
ago. The telegraph company, whose rela-
tons with the telephone company have ter
minated, Is already experimenting with
other. patents and other apparatus which
the directors seem to think may give them
perIect protectlon and abundant compete
tive resources as against the telephone
The expiration OF some of the Edison pat
ents makes house to house telephoning
practically free. and the enormous expense
attendant upon the establishing of long dis
lance telephone plants probably insures the
telephone company pre-eminence in IT'S field
as thoroughly as the possession of the Ber~
liner patent.
The company itself seems 10 care less
about the outcome of this suit than if did
when the litigation was begun.
An expensive plant, 4 high degree of eff
cheney, legislative faYors and other infiu-
ences seem more likely to protect the mo-
nopoly than the possession OF any one of its
more valuable patents. In other words, the
D "a - fptf that aver thnfFD1 a. 80.
was decided against il, and it lost the Ber-
liner patent. yet IL was abundantly protect
ed I'm other ways so that ii had no reason
to fear serious competition.

Cnoper and BnId.

It now looks certain that Tommy" Coop
or will force Bald to ride him a match, as
the former is on a still hunt for the scalp
of the bison. 1t will be remembered that
about a week ago Cooper Travelled from Sa-
vannah to Louisville, where Bald was
training at the Fountain Ferry track, with
the declaration that he would beard him in
his den in order to bring about a race that
would settle the question OF supremacy be-
tween the two. Then came the announce
meat that Bald would ride at the race meet
of the Quill Club Wheelmen, 10 be held at
Manhattan Beach, May -, and as soon as
word reached Cooper he Immediately wrote
for entry blanks for the same meet. II
Cooper cares to take the journey from
Louisville to New York in order TO get on a
match IL is possible that the clashing OF the
two will take place at the track which is
swept by ocean breezes.' II is a question.
however, whether Cooper would be willing
TO mix up with Raid without a large sum
being offered, as they We're matched a few
weeks ago TO ride for a $1,000 purse. Bald.
however. wanted the winner to take all.

A young man riding ANEW Outing wheel
along Massachusetts avenue yesterday aft
ernoon was run down by the driver of an
express wagon and his wheel was complete
ly demolished. The wheelman was on the
right side of the street and the driven
forced him out upon the street-car tracks.
The wheel slipped on, the track and the
rider was thrown. The driver of the wagon
whipped up his team and drove over the
bicycle. a number of persons who saw the
accident gave their names to a representa-
tive of the League of American Wheel
men and the driver will be prosecuted
criminally and will be made to pay for the
wheel if there is any law to reach him.
The league is strong and if those in power
are convinced that the rider of the wheel
was right and has a just grievance it will
exhaust its treasury if necessary to punish
the driver of the wagon and compel him
TO make restitution 10 the wheelman. The
driver is Bert Johnson. The name of the
Mheelman could not be learned.
