face and flashing eyes she passed the

mr. HaRTM N SPEAKS ON PATENTS
BEFORE THE FRANKLIN SOCIETY.

Prof. Frederic II. Gorham OF Brown
University. who was To have lectured
before the Providence Franklin society
last evening, on mosquitoes and mala-
ra, was i'll, and his place was taken
by Mr.. +. /. Hartman OF this city, who
spoke on Patents" He said in sub
stance that patents should be issued
free TO any person regardless OF age.
race, condition or citizenship. Then the
inventor, with his idea and the means
OF free exper mentation, could readily
lind n purchaser for his idea Instead of
as now, having TO sign off his idea To
some one with money able to exploit
IL.
In the last fiscal year .23 600 patents
were issued and 1900 were declared for
feited, the final fees not having been
paid. probably through inability he de-
clared. The government should do the
work now done by patent attorneys in
placing patent applications in proper
form. He claimed that foreigners
should be permitted to file applications
for patents i'm their own language. the
translat on TO be made for them free
OF charge at the patent Office. Persons
making out their own cases should re-
ceive a reward perhaps $50. In Great
Britain the patent office issues patents
To the applicant, who Is not required
to be the inventor. The government
presupposes all patents to be new. and
issues patents on everything without
examination. leaving the determina-
tion Of ownership TO the courts. thus
causing much needless litigation.
Mr.. Hartman argued i'm favor OF
changes In the present patent laws, and
declared that patents are not a monop-
oily Of ideas. and invention being ex-
ceedingly hard, should be, berally re-
warded. He suggested that when n
man makes an invention OF world
utility and great worth. he should be
relieved from further labors and should

Great 0IIlos He He'd.

Princeton, ". j., April LEX -Presi-
dent Grover Cleveland delivered his
second and last lecture in Alexander
hall last night before a large number OF
students, members OF the faculty, their
families. and many others.
When President Patton and Mr..
Cleveland appeared on the stage, they
were greeted with prolonged applause.
President Patton in brief speech, ex-
pressed the qualification OF the univer-
sity that Hon. Stafford Little "A, of
Trenton. founder of the lectureship was
in the audience. Applause again fol-
lowed.
Mr.. Cleveland then delivered his lec-
ture. The ex-president was frauuently
interrupted by applause. and at the
close the hall rang with applause.
DIR. Patton expressed the thanks OF
the university to Mr.. Cleveland for de-
livering the lectures, and announced
that Mr.. Cleveland would deliver the
Stafford Little lectures again next year.
and he hoped for as many more years
as the ex-2resident would have
strength TO deliver them.
Mrs. Cleveland Was at the lecture and
sat beside the venerable Stafford Little.
He began by speaking of the pressure
for the removal of public officeholders
Immediately after the cnange of ad-
min stration in 1885 and the supstitu-
ton Of Democrats in their places,

people, who. without the least appre-
citation OF the meaning OF Jarty work
and service, superciliously affect to de-
spise all those who apply For office as
they would those guilty of "A ilagrant
mlsdemeanor."
Mr.. Cleveland then passed to dis
cussion of his controversy Win the
senate over the question of transmit
ting the reasons for suspensions from
office, and the papers relating thereto.
Il could not avoid the conviction" he
said. that a compliance with such re-
quests would be to that extent fall

John B. Taft on the motion of plaintiff
that execution issue against the body of

defendants counsel made the point that
section OF chapter 299 of public laws,
passed Janr39. 1896, which authorizes an
execution against the body In certain
cases is UNCONSTITUTIONAL because il
makes no provision for "A jury trial on
a question of fraud, i'm an application
for execution against the body. Judge
Tillinghast is of the opinion that the
constitutionahty OF a statute cannot be
raised on proceeding OF this sort. The
case having gone to Judgment nothing
remains but to issue execution thereon
and the onl" way IL any the constitu-
tionality can be tested I'm the present
case is by habeas corpus.
