The above table shows that the election or a
Republican President in 1904 is practically as
sured. for if all the States put in the doubtful
rolumn should give their electoral votes TO
Democratic candidate the Republicans would
still have ma jority of thirty-eight in the Elec-
1oral College The conservative nature of the
sable is shown however, by the fact that the
Republicans have the better chance in all the
states classed as doubtful, with the possible
exception Of Nevada.

PROCEEDINGS FOR INJUNCTION.
Lieut.. Farrow Alleges Infringement of
Patent by Manufacturing Co,

Proceedings in equity for injunction and
an accounting have been instituted In the
Supreme Court of the District Of Columbia
by Willard NJ. Farrow through Attorneys
John c. Cuttings of this city and Henry M.
Earle of New York against the Eclipse Man
ufacturing Company, which has its plant
at Elmira, N. Y. Lieutenant Farrow. the
complainant. Is inspector of rife practice
Of the 4th Battalion. District National
Guard, and well-known expert in military
target shooting. He claims to be the owner
of certain applications for patents OF a BIZ
cycle brake and coaster, and that in 1897
he sold the applications to the Eclipse BIZ
cycle Company, the latter. he contends,
agreeing to manufacture and sell the inven-
ton and pay him a royalty. This, accord
ing to Lieutenant Farrow. the company
failed to do, so he filed suit and obtained
a decree for an accounting.
1t is maintained by Lieutenant Farrow
that the bicycle company ceased to prose-
cute his applications for patents. but in
stead prosecuted one Incorporating his best
ideas for a Mr.. Morrow. who was superin
tendent of its factory, and sold the brake
under the name of Morrow.
Lieut.. Farrow sets forth that as soon
as the Court of Appeals determined the case
in his favor the bicycle company stopped
Selling the DTdhe, anu oiuSeIS
a company In Delaware called the Eclipse
Manufacturing Company, which has con-
tinued to manufacture and sell the brake.
doing SO, Lieutenant Farrow charges, In
knowledge Of the decree against the BIZ
cycle company and for the sole purpose OF
defrauding him of his rights hereunder.
He says he now sues to compel the manu-
featuring company to recognize the binding
force of his contract with the Eclipse BIZ
cycle Company. and to render an account
ing for the brakes that have been sod.

coal to come to this city unless the carriage
rate was fixed prior to the delivery OF the
COAL or in effect have so acted. am told
that anthracite coal can be transported
profitably by water from storage places
where boats can load for IS cents, as
against $500 by rail, but no cargos can
be delivered here unless the rate is kept

Of dollars out Of the District annually. ana
it appears to me without Justification. A
cooperative coal-distributing company that
would in effect be a consumers trust, ny
from the bank credit standard of test.
but as a mutual means of self help would
be worthy Of encouragement for this rea-
son, il for no other.
But another, perhaps more tangible, rea-
son exists. The local coal combine charge
from $3.50 to 500, when trade Is normal
for their service to the public In distribut-
ing the coal to the consumers. A co-opera-
tive association, properly equipped could
undoubt eddy, distribute to the consumers
for one-half, and perhaps one-th1rd, SUCH a
charge. The actual payment made by some
dealers, when trade is normal, is but 70
cents ton to the owner of the horse, cart
and driver for loading and moving the coal
within one or two miles of the dump
or coalyard. and abundance OF service can
be had at this price.

proprietorship, regulation and distributive

favor that socialistic fellowship of common

Finger Bowl Legend.

From the Detroit Free Press
To be denied the use OF a nnger DOW az
meals is one of the penalties people nave
Ia pay for the privilege of being invited 10
meet English royalty. 1t Is piece OF
antiquarian lore and dates back to the
time of the pretender. Then the Jacopites
used to raise their glasses over the nneer
bowl in order to- drink to the king. Tne
reference was obvious. for they meant to
..the king over the water" although they
did not dare say 30.
Some people have declared that the jacob
ties used to drink from the Anger bowls
themselves 20 Charlie across the water.
but this "a q needless aspersion ON the fol-
lowers OF James III. Good men and true,
they were no more In the habit OF drinking
water than the rest OF the people Of the
time and the drinking vessels In those
DAYS were sufficiently large to cov1ate the
use Of finger bowls as We understand them
today.
