THE TOOTH TRUST.
A Decision of Lucal Interest to Dem
lists.

Dentists locally are considerably inter
ested in decision rendered by Judge
Townsend of the United States Circuit
court, sitting Ia New York. who has de-
eided a suit for damages for infringement
of patent against Dr. James o. Kyle in
favor of the International Tooth Crown
company. DIR. Kyle has been supported
by the Dental Protective association, and
great proportion of the 20, 600 dentists
in this country were really she defendants
in the case.
The International Tooth Crown CON-
pany of which DIR. L. L. Sheffield OF New
York is the president, holds patents on
operations known as bridge work and
tooth crowns. According to the story of
the plaintiffs the first dentist who made
q success Of his kind of work was Dr.
James Low, in 1877 and he took out pa
tents upon his invention In 1881. Sheffield
had keen making experiments In the
same line and purchased Lows patents.
Then he formed the s'toosh trust" and
charged every dentist who used his
patents sab year for license, and a big
| percentage
There were infringements by the hun.
dreds, and the company began test case
| In 1896 against Drs. Richmond and Gay.
lor. The dentists OF the country imme.
aiately formed the Dental Protective as
sociation and backed up the defendants
The patents were sustained, but the liti.
cation went on, and later q suit agains.
a dentist named Bennett was decided
against the Tooth Grown company. Fol
the past four years nothing has been
heard Of any new move ON the part OF
Sheffield. SO 1t was supposed that he had
given up the idea.
The court does not award an injunction
as the patents expired several years ago,
1t holds that DR.. Sheffield may collect
what Is due him for licenses and commits
sions all the time that his methods have
bean used.
DeptistF generally are not worrying
about thesde0ision, feeling sure that ths
Dental PEotecsise association will loeh
out Tor It's lnembsre.

FOR STEALING POSTAGE STAMPS

A man who says his name is Moran
was taken into the police station yester-
day afternoon baing suspectod of stealing
postage stamps,
1t appears that he was on Fore street
and offered for sale. some eight cent
stamps. rather an uncommon stamp and
not easily to be found except In post
office. The appearance Of tha man was
that Of a tramp. and the people who had
teea approached by him, reported him
t., the police. Officer Young soon sent
MIN in. he had no money they found at
tina station.
The suspicion of courIe Is that some
country post Office has LOST its stock.
The robbsries of post Offices have been
exctedingiy numerous in eastern New
England, for two or three years.

Since Then Has Not
Been Heard Of.
Left Clothes and Money at
Home In Worcester.

What has hscnme of Seska Thayer, a
pretty young Finn girl, who came to
Portland last Ocsoberf
II someone can answer this question
they will greatly please Mrs. Jay of Wor-
cester, Mass, who was here yesterday
looking for the girl. Seska Tbayer had
worked contentedIy for Mrs. Jay at her
pleasant home in Worcester UP to last
October and tho fnmily bad come to think
q great deal of the pleasant and good ma
tured servant girl Some time last ooto-
ber the girl became impressed with the
idea that 1t was her duty to become q
Red Cross nurse and 90 to Cuba to aid In
the work of that Organization on the Is
land. Accordingly she left Worcester one
day, saying that she was to come to
Portland to seek a position as a nurse in
this socisty. Frcm that day up TO this
time Mrs. Jay has heard never a word
from Seska Thayer and though she has
written the Red Cross Eeople In Cuba,
the police OF all the large cities In this
part OF the country and sought every
where for the girl no trace OF her has
been found. The strangest part of the
whole affair Is that Ssska Thayer was
very much attached to Mrs. j ay and
when she left Worcester took with her
only few Of her clothes leaving big
trunk full OF her belongings and so me
money which was due her. Mrs. jay
came here yesterday to see II she could
find any trace of tha missing girl but
the police have been unable to help her
much. 1t is feared tnat as Seska was
young and pretty and not experienced In
the wars of the world that che
may have fallen into the hands Of un-
sorupulous persons and have been pre-
vented from communicating with her
friends in Worcester.

A CURIOUS COINCIDENCE.
The Age Of the Late Captain johnson at
His Death Was Exactly the Age At
tained by Has Father.

There was curious coincidence about
the death OF the ,aue Captain EDWARD
johnson, of the lighthouse steamer Lilac.
He was aged 40 years, II months and
10 days when he died. His father died at
exactly the same age, 60 q day; and Cap
tain Johnson's brother David. who was
an engineer In thu lighthouse service and
ON harbor steamers, died at the age of 80
years, Il months, and either 2 or Ia days.
The family do not remember whether
his age was three days greater or less than
that of his brother.

StOre-HOuSe EXDlOSIOn.

The store building of John 7. and
Theodore Ravenscroft. at Sand Patch
a few miles east of Meyersdale, Pa,
was almost wholly wrecked Saturday
night, last, by an explosion of gun.
powder, supposed to have been ignited
by matches deposited in the kegs by
mice. The roof was blown a distance
from the building, all the window
panes broken and but for the prompt
assistance of citizens the building
would have been consumed by fire
No one was seriously injured, though
several in the store at the time of the
explosion narrowly escaped.
The Messrs. Ravenscroft are the
proprietors of "A wellknown and popu-
lar Frostburg opera house.
