PETITION GRANTED.
Interesting Patent Decision Rendered
by Judge Cole.

Interesting Patent Decision Rendered
by Judge Cole.
In the case of United States ex. rel.
Albert B. Nelson vs.. the Commissioner OF
Patents Justice Cole of the Supreme Court
of the District, late yesterday afternoon
granted the petition foc writ of man
damus to compel the commissioner to re-
ste re the application of Nelson to the files
of the office and proceed with its consider
alton under the rules and statutes.
This is considered by attorneys one OF
the most important decisions ever rem
dered effecting the rights. powers and du-
ties of the commissioner. Nelson had filed
an application in due form. which had been
received and examined in regular order by
the appropriate division of the Office. The
invention had been found to be patentable
but certain matters relating to the drawing
were held by the examiner to be objec-
ticnable, and certain notifications were re-
quired. The attorney disputed the correct
ness of the examiners position. and con-
tended that the drawings were in proper
form and sufficient. The examiner insist
ed upon his requirement. and in answer
the attorney filed a drawing which the ex
aminer held was frivolous and trihing
with the dignity of the office. and returned
the drawing. insisting that his require
n:ent be properly complied with. From this
action Of the examiner the applicant. by
his attorney, took petition to the COM
missioner in person. by rule he was
privileged to do, and asked his personal
judgment on the questions involved. The
commissioner. it was contended. instead of
ruling on the questions presented to him
made an order to the effect that the appli-
cation had been prosecuted In a manner
to entitle 1t to no consideration, and or
dered 1t struck from the files Of the Office,
repeating the order after a rehearing of
the petition. Then Nelson filed his peti-
ticn in the Supreme Court for writ of
mandamus
Justice Cole rendered an exhaustive
opinion. holding that the commissioner
had exceeded his authority under the stat
utes and rules, which gave him no such
power as this act assumed, and granted
the writ prayed for, and gave Judgment
against the commissioner for costs
Mr.. E. w. Bradford appeared for Nelson
and Mr.. J. N. McGrath for the commits

More Testimony Introduced In the
Will Trial.
Hearing Of the Van Riswick will case was
resumed today before Judge McComas in
Circuit Court No. 2, large number of
persons testifying in support of the va
lidity of the will. Perhaps the principal
witness was DR.. w. w. Johnston. who at
tended Mrs. Van Riswick during her last
illness. and also at the time she was af-
iicted with the grip. The latter. said DR..
Johnston. was by no means severe, and did
not impair her mental faculties. For a
woman of her age, seventy-seven years,
DR.. Johnston considered Mrs. Van Riswick
in exceptionally good health, she being af-
fected with no organic troubles.
Nellie Quinlan explained that the rela-
tons existing between Mrs. Van Riswick
and Mrs. Lambert were exceedingly pleas
ant. The testimony of Mr.. L. p. Shoe
maker and the others called to the stand
was to the effect that the deceased was a
woman of decidedly Independent views and
opinions.

Union Of Sunday School Teachers. She
spoke at some length Of the pressing need
for a greater interest on the part of pa
rents generally in the work of their chill
dren at school, when away from their di-
rect influence. In the course of her ad-
dress she said:
Parents, particularly mothers. should
put in the list of their solemn obligations
Frequent visitation of the schools attended
by their children, thorough acquaintance
with the teachers OF their children, Coop
Grafton with the school plans. AS mothers
have given science to education. it would
be we'll to give mothers places upon school
boards. as is done in London and other
large cities. What mothers might be able
to accomplish may be shown somewhat by
telling what one mother has been able to
do. Mrs Mary H. Hunt of Boston, through
whose efforts scientific temperance in
struction concerning the effect Of alcohol
and narcotics upon the human system. has
been secured to 16,OOO,OOO of children in the
public schools of forty-two states and all
Of the territories. II one mother could do
SO much. what might not the whole glo-
rious company of mothers do? Surely they
might get the Bible back into our schools
which is one Of the greatest needs of the
hour.
THE Sunday school, as well as the secu-
lar school, needs the cooperation of moth
ers and homes. Let no mother adopt the
laisser faire theory in relation to either
the secular or the Sunday school, on the
ground Of having no time To do so
would lie equivalent to saying: I am SO
busy with temporalities have no time for
eternities.'
