An impressive illustration OF the i'm
security OF investment i'm patents is af-
fordcd by case I'm New York which
is drawing TO close after thirty years
of litigation. A fireman invented de-
vice that was put i'm use i'm the de-
partment i'm 1866 and Is still i'm use. The
city refused to pay for it and suit was
begun IL took ten years for the
courts 10 affirm the legality Of the pat
ent. That was the first step necessary
10 proceeding with the suit. Then Il
master in chancery took charge of the
matter TO decide how much the city
should pay. The chancery proceedings
have occupied nearly twenty years.
Finally report Is made placing dam
ages i'm the sum OF nearly $500 900. in
Guiding interest. one more step is yet
60 be taken however. The court must
confirm the report of the master in
chancery. The city which has already
expended more than $500 900 in fighting
the claim when IL might have bought
the patent outright for 100000 thirty
years ago. will doubtless resist the
confirmation OF the report and appeal
the case so that the end Is even now
only dimly i'm sight. Meanwhile the
inventor has died and the heirs have
had n hard struggle Keeping the case
going. II Is said that all things arc
possible TO the law. even justice. pro
viding you have patience.

The significance OF the stern inquiry
into the matter OF the army ration.

plainly illustrated by the records OF the
mortality Of the Spanish war. More
than FIVE thousand American soldiers

the Cuban and Porto Rican campaigns.
while only 3cs were killed in action and
l25 had died Of wounds. For this ap-

SAYS ACID WAS USED.
Dr. Currie Tells Board Of Inquiry About
Experiments He Made

Washington. April Elm the beef court
OF inquiry yesterday DR.. Samuel A.
Currie. who was lieutenant colonel OF
the Second New Jersey regiment during
the war. expressed the opinion that the
refrigerator beef had been soaked In some
preservative fluid. containing salycilic
acid. The View that acids had been used
was strengthened by the fact that the
meat appeared 10 grow dark upon COM
ing into contact with the iron OF the
butchers Knife Or. Currie said he had
discovered some years ago by actual tests
that Swift g. Co. used salycilic acid TO
preserve their meats. Two months ago
he had made a similar test OF beef fur
nished by Armour * Co. at his own home
IN Englewood. n. j.. and had found that
IL contained salycilic acid. The beef
thus examined looked paler on the sur
face than other beef. He thought beef
could be treated by both injection or inn
mersion in the acid.

Elisha Dyer is elected Governor Sf
Rhode Island for a third term. The
entire Republican general ticket and
n large majority Of the General AS
sembly are Republican. In an election
the quietness OF which was due to the
overwhelming confidence on the part
OF Republicans of course and not to any
lack OF interest i'm the result, Governor
Dyer receives a slightly less vote than
he did last year and a slightly larger
vote than he did in 1897. The total vote
for Governor is about 800 larger than
last year and this increase was cap
tured by the Democrats. Indeed it
seems to have been brought out by
their activity which was especially dis
played of course I'm the home OF their
candidate, i'm Newport and in Paw
tuclxet. The result affords no reason
10 see any immediate change in the
political sentiments Of the people OF the
state, but on the contrary demonstrates
again how staunch is it's Republicans
ism. The new Constitution as pro-
posed by the present Assembly was ap-
proved i'm the election of large ma
-jority- of new Assemhlymen pledged TO
present IL to the people.
