 Attorney David E. Fitzgerald, executor
 of the will of the late John Reilly, was
 settled out of court yesterday after a

 was for a claim for medical services
 against the estate. Reilly was resi- dent of State street and before his death he won $2500 in the Louisiana state lot tery After his death it was found that he had left the money to the St. Fran cis orphan asylum, and David E. Fitz- gerald was appointed executor Many claims were put in to the estate, and among them was one of $391 put in by Dr. SayleS for services in attending Reilly for cancer. On the first trial of the case in August, 1897, evidence was put in on defense to prove that the services were not worth that amount. The jury in the city court brought in verdict for Dr. Sayles to recover $225. The case was appealed to the supreme court, which granted new trial on the ground that Judge Dow had admitted evidence which should not have been admitted

IN AND ABOUT THE COURTS
DECISION RENDERED IN IN IM-
 POR1ANT PATENT CASE
By Judge Townsend in the United States Court--Verdict for the Plaintiff -Oiv0rces Granted Yesterday.


 Judge Townsend yesterday rendered a decision involving points of interest to those who hold patents or pay royalties on them, It was in the case of SprVuU, administrative, with will annexed, ys. the Pratt & Whitney company of Hart ford. The plaintiffs controlled four pat ents under which the plaintiffs manu- factured, and the latter sued to recover royalties thereon. The case was tried in the southern district of New York. Four patents were involved, all on ma chimes and punches used by the Pratt x Whitney company. Of the patents one expired in 1891, one in 1892 and a third will expire in 1905 The fourth was dat ed November 21, 1882, and the question has arisen whether it expired on Feb ruary F, 1885, or November 21, 1S99. Judge Townsend said:
 T do not understand that the com plainant seriously claims that the pat ent did not expire on the earlier date, and I decide accordingly. The defend- ant paid royalties on all these patents up to March 31, 1894. The report of the master as well as the evidence taken before him have satisfied me that the articles made under these various pat ents could be separately used and are ordinarily sold for separate use, and that this fact must have been known to contracting parties, especially in view of the fact that there is a period of fourteen years between the dates of the first and last patents, and that in majority of the cases they were so used after having been bought, and it is ad- mitted that the sales for the period cov- cred by the account, so far as the char acter of the sales and of the articles sold separately or together are concern ed, is fair sample of the sales for the whole period from 1888.
 "Since the expiration of the punch patent in 1895 less than six per cent. of the articles on which royalties are claimed are covered by patents. The presumption must be, in the absence of express language to the contrary, that royalties are intended to expire with the patents" The decision entities the plaintiff to recover all damages proved.

THEIR ONE ARGUMENT

But one argument is advanced by
the Union Republicans in attempted
justification of the candidacy Of j.
Edward Addicks for a United States
Eenatorship II is that he has fought
hard for II and bought hard for it, and
ought to have it. His fitness for posi-
tion Of such high honor has no place
in the controversy so far as these
Union Republicans are concerned.
Fortunately for the people Of Delaware
there IS a strong and incorruptible
Republican constituency which stands
between him and the disgrace which
his incumbency OF the office would en-
tail upon the commonwealth Nothing
can move it from its firm determina-
ton that he shall not profit by his
work of disruption and corruption
covering a period of nearly ten years.
Addiclxs is the creator and the lead
er Of a vicious and pernicious political
organization which would be a dis
grace TO any community. 1t was con-
ceived in political iniquity, born in
disruption and nurtured by corruption.
It's motive power is the strength of
money applied TO the moral weakness
of man. II is a menace to the man
hood Of the State, and all good citizens
should combine to stamp 1t and its
creator out OF existence.
In a few weeks the Legislature will
meet and Addicksism will be subject
ed to its crucial test. We have faith
enough in the men who will compose
that body to predict that a majority
OF them never will cast their votes 81
favor Of sending Addicls or any ser
vile creature of his to represent this
State in the United States Senate. The
canker Of corruption has not eaten
that far into the manhood of the State,
and the people are not ready to have
their Representatives make such
shameful use Of the powers delegated
70 and vested in them.
Addicks processes to have enough
votes to elect him. The people need
not be alarmed by such professions.
He has made them before, and the
lapse OF time has demonstrated that
they were not well-founded. The sim
pie truth OF the matter is that he will
need from six to eight Democratic
votes to obtain an election. He never
can win out on Republican votes. II
the Democratic representation has six
or eight men in it who can be bought
by the Addicksites the gasman may
be elected. but not otherwise.

Republican party: NO consistory is
sufficient to disprove the fact that the
Union Republican party has been COM
posed by the unscrupulous use OF
money by INSCRIPTIONS men, who
preyed upon avarice, passion and igno-
rance. No one can successfully deny
that the whole political tone is falling
lower and lower. until the time has
come when public journals dare open
ly pander to the lowest motives, to
keep the party spirit alive. Let no
man. whatever his sphere, or his party,
rest in peace till he has given the full
measure Of his strength towards the
OF this monster"

DR.. GROVE SPEAKS OF NEW
CENTURY'S OPPORTUNITIES

In a sermon on the subject, THE Op-
pcrtunities of the Twentieth Century,
in Asbury Church last evening, the
Rev James Grove, d. d., said there
never was a time in the history of the
church when there were such great op-
portunities for the work of God as the
closing century brings.
DR.. Grove dwelt on the need Of mis-
slonary work in Africa and China, and
said Christianity would have been es-
tablished there long ago if the nations
Of the world had not watched one an
other spend money in maintaining
armies in heather lands.

If money never were invested IN
projects which did not give positive
assurance of an immediate return with
profit, many OF the greatest enter
prises which exist in the world to-day
never would have been started. Il is
the far-seeing man with brains and
money back Of him and an abiding
faith in the future who keeps the
world moving rapidly in the path of
progress, and not the man who lives
and labors merely in and for the pres
ent The proposition that our city
should invest a reasonable sum OF
money in harbor improvements every
year, supplementing the work done by
the Federal government, is a good one
for commercial prosperity means the
city's enrichment and more than re-
pays the original sums OF money ex-
pended to produce 1t. But, first Of all
let us have a substantial Federal ap.
preparation. and then let the city,
money be applied where the Fedora
work is left off. To obtain the prope,
effect harmony Of action is highly de
sirable.

We desire to warn the people Of
Wilmington against two crooks who
are working business men for money.
They represent themselves to be for
mer employees Of one of the leading
hotels in New York who are out OF
work and sorely in need Of money.
Their plan of operation is as follows:
They get the names OF prominent men
who have registered at the hotel and
then call and pretend to have waited
upon them in the dining room when
they were there. One prominent busi-
ness man of this city gave them a
trife and then wrote on to the hotel
and made inquiries concerning them
The reply received was to the effect
that they never had been employed in
the hotel and were crooks. Should
they approach any other business mar
after this he will confer a favor on tn,
community by having them arrested
for they evidently intend to work thei
game in all the cities. and If Whining
ton can head them of and put an en-
ito their operations it will be goo
thing.

ablo has been written on the Addicks
slate for the legislative organization.
Francis S. Bradley wants to be clerk
OF the House. We have noticed that
Mr.. Bradley always has a want but

erably less Addicksism. We scarcely
