Copyrights.

Some confusion exists in the minds
Of advertisers on the subject Of copy
rights. The Librarian OF Congress
says that no copyright will be isued
to protect coined names, names Of
manufactured articles; Of games or
puzzles; of substances, products or
medicines. The name Of a series Of
books or pictures cannot be copyright
ed except In connection with some spe-
cific work in the series. The name Of
newspaper cannot be copyrighted,
but each individual issue Of 1t can be.
Probably much Of the confusion is
caused by a failure to distinguish be-
tween copyrights and trademarks.
Catch lines and phrases will not be
copyrighted. In establishing the prin-
ciple of copyright it was the purpose of
the Government to encourage original
works of art and Of literature. Moth
ing in the shape of an advertisement,
pure and simple, is recognized as be-
longing to these classes.-Natlonal Ad-

feet; at one of the entrances the mine
is only about 200 feet deep.
Ten shafts lead to the bottom Of the
mine, only two Of them having their
mouths in the town above. In one OF
these a spiral stairway with 47O steps
leads down to the mine. The other
and shorter shaft has an elevator, and
this is usually employed in carrying
visitors up and down.
In the mine, where over 1000 work
men are constantly employed, there is
a perfect labyrinth Of passages. The
streets and alleys now have a total
length Of fifty-five miles. Most Of the
alleys are only wide enough for the
passage of a man, and are preliminary
to digging out the salt on either side.
On the lowest parts of the floor are
sixteen ponds, canoes being provided
to carry the workmen across some Of
them. AS mining progresses immense
halls are formed. In the older parts
of the works the roof is supported by
woodwork, and as the air is very dry
the timbers have been admirably pre-
served; in the later excavations, how
ever, massive pillars of salt are left
here and there to support the ceiling.
The most spacious Of the rooms
made by the incessant work Of exca-
vation, are used for storage purposes
Ten of these apartments are wide and
long and about $50 feet in height The
miners have been permitted to exercise
their skill and fancy in adOrning their
underground city with carvings in the
salt The walls OF some Of the rooms,
polished till they glisten like marble,
are adorned with sculptured figures
and emblems which have a rather ar
tistic effect. There is a profusion Of
columns, statues and lamp posts, all
made of the same abundant material.
Two chapels, with a full equipment of
affairs, statues of saints and other
sacred adornments, have been fash
ioned out of the salt. Mass is occasion
ally celebrated in one of them. Abund-
ant illumination gives a fairy-like as
pect to the gray city and the re-
splendent reflection from the walls of
salt is a feature that always impresses
visitors.
About 10000 tons of salt are raised
from this mine every year. The salt
is not white like that of the bed in
which the Kansas miners are now
working, but is grayish in color, con-
tanning impurities that must be ex-
tracted before the product is market
able.-New York Sun.

A street sweeper, occupying a garnet
in the Rue des Saints PeFes, returned
to find that he had been burned out.
His lamentations regarding the loss Of
his savings seemed exaggerated to his
neighbors, who were accustomed to
regard him as living from hand to

among the suggestions offered to pre-

as suggested in The Times last week.
One OF the objections suggested to the
plan is that 1t would place such vast
responsibility in the hands Of the Sec
retary. Another Is the difficulty of dis
of security that would be offered.
Another objection suggested is that II
other securities could be used as a ba-
sis of bank circulation, Government
bonds would decline in value. Any ac-
ton looking to this would. Of course, be
strongly opposed by present Govern
ment bondholders.
On the other hand 1t Is recognized
that under the present system the sub
treasures absorb an enormous amount
of money, which Is taken directly away
from circulation, and which cannot be
restored to the circulation until paid
out for the current obligations OF the

Money Withdrawn From Circulation.
During 1901, the New York subtreas-
ury thus withdrew from circulation
81 ,321, ,45s, 4S4. While much Of this money
was quickly paid out again. 1t Is never
theless true that the greatest absorp-
tion Of money frequently occurs Just at
the time when commercial conditions,
such as the movement of the crops, etc,
demand an increased circulation.
II the plan now under consideration
were to be adopted today It would re-
lease about $s3. 600. 900. which is now tied
up in the Treasury. That is to say. the
money in circulation could be increased
to that extent without interfering with,
any of the trust funds against which
certificates have been issued.
There is no doubt that the plan will
be the subject of much varied comment,
and the Treasury oficials are waiting
with great interest the verdict of the
business men of the country.
The statement issued by the Treasury
yesterday at the close OF business shows
the following:

SECOND TRIAL OF JOHN
C.. NELSON BEGINS TODAY

torney James E. Clements opened the
case for the prosecution in forceful
and eloquent speech lasting forty-five
minutes. He detailed the line Of battle
which would be followed by the prbse-
cution. To the jury he said:
You have the property and rights Of
the people Of Alexandria county to pro-
tect. You have sworn to render a Just
verdict to the best OF your ability, and
you must not be swayed by any emo
tional plea, but be governed strictly by
the cold law and evidence put before
YOU"
Talks of Line of Defense.
Mr.. Bendheim then addressed the jury
for the defense. 1T is not the policy
of the Defense he said, Ito appeal to
the sympathy Of the jury. We desire to
have the case tried on the evidence and
facts as we'll as do our legal opponents. :"
Mr.. Bendheim spoke briefly and to the
point, his entire speech lasting only
about five minutes. He said that,the de-
fense would put witnesses on the stand
to prove that it was a physical impos-
sibility for Nelson to have set the house
on fire, as the defendant was in Wash
ington at the time, indicating that the
defense would cling to the alibi produced
in the former trial. Mr.. Bendheim con-
cluded by admonishing the jury that it
was bound to consider the prisoner in
nocent until he was proven guilty.
After the attorneys had completed
their presentation of the case it was de-
cided, in view of the fact that the prose-
cution's witnesses were not present, 20

purposes in making the appointments to
the 1sthmian Canal Commission.
Sent for Mr.. Clergue.
The President sent for Mr.. Clergue
and asked him to become guest at
dinner tonight. Mayor Maybury sat at
the Presidents left hand at the din
ner, but he went out early The Presi-
dent asked Mr.. Clergue to occupy the
vacant chair left by the mayor and then
began a talk which lasted for nearly an
hour.
In substance the President told the
engineer that he wanted all the advice
he could get from the right sort of men
as to the qualifications OF the men who
are to be appointed. The President said
that he meant to appoint, II possible,
the most eminent engineer on the Pa
cific Coast and the most eminent on the
Atlantic Coast and the most eminent
along the Gulf, and at the same time to
get men from interior parts of the
country who had been concerned in
great public works.
He reasserted what he has said be-
fore, that he wanted men who could not
be hired by private corporation for
the sum that the United States is pre-
pared to pay, but who would undertake
the work for glory and patriotism.
Asked to Visit Washington.
The President asked Mr.. Clergue to go
to Washington in the fall to have fur
ther conferences with him. Mr..
Clergue's friends think that the Presi-
dent means to put him on the commits
sion.

been predicted. II had been considered
next to impossible to obtain twelve
talesmen in Alexandria county who had
not formed and expressed an opinion on
the subject OF Nelson's guilt or inno-

and discussion of the case during the
former trial. Judge Love, however. ap-
piled the technical legal test of asking
the prospective jurors whether their
opinions would prevent them from being
guided wholly by the evidence and
whether they could give the prisoner an

Nelson's Appearance Better.
Nelson has been at liberty on $4,000

Attorney Clements. as in the former

Brent. OF Alexandria, and Edmund
Burke, of Washington.
When the court opened the prosecution
suggested that the case be postponed
until Thursday. Counsel for the State
said they had gained the impression that
the defense would ask for a postpone
ment that day. and had not summoned
their witnesses to appear. Counsel for
the defense stated that in spite of the
absence of Mr.. Moore they were ready
to proceed After some argument the
prosecution stated its willingness to
proceed, and the work of impaneling
