umbrella manufacturer makes a really
marvellous display.
"Who invents all the new styles Of
handles annually produced? Well,
there are some that, as you might
say, invent themselves, that are sug-
gested by some fad or fashion of the
hour, as in the case of handles in
the form of golf sticks. And then,
of course, umbrella manufacturers
are constantly designing new handles
in the endeavor to produce good sell
ers, as one handle or another may
distinctly be.
'Horn umbrella handles came CHEF
ly from Austria; fine, fancy, orna-
mented handles come from France or
Germany, the finest of them from
Paris; though most artistic and beau
tifully designed umbrella handles Of
silver are now produced in this coun-
try.
"Of all the umbrella handles. used
in this country in the manufacture of
umbrellas, taken together, the greater
number are made here, and the pro-
portion of American handles used is
increasing. On the other hand, the
handles imported preponderate in
value, though the relative value of
the American handles produced is,
like their proportionate number, all
the time increasing" y

UMBRELLA
Thousands of Styles <Ao: in Stock

umbrella handles" said an umbrel-
la man, ARE made nowadays in thou
sands of styles, and great numbers of
new styles are produced annually to
keep stocks fresh, varied and up to
date.
They are made of a very great
variety of materials; of wood in many
sorts, cheap and costly; of gold, sill
yer, ivory, rubber, paper, celluloid,
bone, horn, porcelain, and of many
fine and beautiful mineral substances,
such as agates. Handles are made
also in these days of v%ariously named
compositions, in imitation of precious
and semi-preious stones.
There have been made handles of
papier mache in imitation OF wood,
and remarkably good limitations of
buck-horn handles are made OF paper
pulp, pressed in moulds, such han
dies costing much less, of course,
than those Of genuine buck-horn.
"Any two or more of these various
materials may be used in combina-
ton; such a handle in it's most sim
pie form, for instance, being of wood
with a silver mounting. You might
have a handle of onyx and gold; and
so on Indefinitely.
"The stock of handles seen in any
large manufacturing establishment
would be found almost bewildering in
it's extent and variety, and it would
be found also to contain a great many
objects of beauty. The fact is that

IMPORTANT PRINCIPLE OF LAW
is ESTABLISHED.
COURT MAKES APRECEDENT
Western Union Gains Decisive Victory
Over Several Of Its
Competitors.

Chicago, Oct. 2S.-An important
principle of law was established to-
day when Judges Baker, Grosscup
and Bum of the United States court
of appeals, handed down an opinion
to the effect that the Western Union
Telegraph company has a right of
property in the news which it gath
ers and that such right does not cease
when the news is published on the
tickers rented to it's patrons. In lay
ing down this principle the court of
appeals afirms two decisions of the
lower court and forever enjoins the
National Telegraph News company,
the Illinois News company and other
defendants from using the quotations
in question. The court says:
THE business of appellee is that OF
a carrier of information. The gist of
it's service to the patron is that by
such carriage the patron acquires
knowledge of the matter communicate
ed earlier than those not thus served.
The ticker, with its printed tape, is
an implement or means only to this
commercial end, which the patron or
the patrons may utilize to the end in
tended, but may not appropriate to
some other end not intended and ap-
ply it, if such application result in
injury to or total destruction Of the
ro,vioo Tn chDrt tho law hniro o1par.
ly inadequate to that purpose, equity
| should see to it that the enc who is
served and the one who serves each
| Gets what the engagement between
them calls for and that neither to the
injury of the other shall appropriate
more.
THE immediate business of the ap-
pellee brought to our attention can
not arouse any great solicitude. 1t
relates to the gathering and distribut-
ing of news, net looked upon, per-
the public welfare. But the ques-
ton raised are of much wider signi-
ficance. They involve among others
! that modern enterprise-one of the
distinctive achievements of our day
which, combining the genius and the
accommodations of men, with the forces
of electricity, combines the earth's
surface each day for what the day
has brought forth is, that whatever
befalls the son of man shall come,
almost instantaneously, into the con
| seriousness of mankind. By such
agencies as these the world is made
to face itself increasingly in the glass,
and is put to those tests that bring
increasing helpfulness and beauty in
to the heart of II race.
Establish a Precedent.
SIS service like this to be outlaw
ed? Is the enterprise of the great
news agencies or the great telegraph
and cable lines to be denied appeal
to the courts against the inroads of
the pirate for no other reason than
that the law fashioned hitherto to
fit the relations of authors and the
public cannot be made to fit the re-
lations of the public and this dis
similar class CT service? Are we to
fail our plain duty for mere lack of
precedent? We choose rather to
make precedent-one from which is
eliminated as immaterial the law
grown up around authority-and we
see no better way to start this prece-
dent upon a career than by affirming
the order appealed from"

WEALTH IN CORNCoBs.
A Mysterious Mill In Indiana Makes
Much Money.

a my8teT1OU0 WIFI In 1n010M0 Makes
Much Money.
Greentown's corncob mill is doing a
rushing business now, says an Indian
apolis dispatch, and this fact has re-
newed interest in the puzzling ques-
ton Of what this big industry really
is. 1t has become the corncob center
of the Hoosier State; but little more is
known Of what becomes of the product
from the cobs than when the business
started up three years ago.
1t is said the corncobs are ground
into meal. This explanation is by no
means sure, for the greatest secrecy is
maintained about the factory, and up
to date none but employees has
gained access to the buildings. and all
they know is that they grind up the
corncobs. draw their pay and ask no
questions.
That the company has found some
thing rich in corncobs is certain, for the
mills are kept running to their full
capacity. The I'M is that the corn
cobs are ground up into three grades
of meal. The finest is said to go into
some kind of shredded biscuit. the Sec
ond or red grade to the eastern brew
cries for the coloring of beer, and the
third or mixed grade into a mixture
of ground feed composed of corn and
oats.
Much secrecy attends the shipment

come to call it. The ground corncobs
are sacked up and carried aboard
waiting cars with as great p%recaution
as marks the carrying of currency
from The treasury at Washington.

AN APPEAL ISSUED TO LEGISLA.
TIVE CANDIDATES.
REQUEST ISA HUMANE ONE
Prospective Legislators Asked to Sup
port Bill for Law Protecting
Children and Animals.
From Wednesdays Daily Gazette.

cIOlu Wednesday 3 LHdlly udAoLIS.
Legislative candidates throughout
the state are receiving letters from
various sources and persons asking,
in case of their election, to render as
:sistance to measures that will be in.
troduced at the next session of the
legislature. Among the latest to thus
make appeal is Mrs. Irene Rood, ma
tional organizer of the American HUI
name society, who is e~ndeavoring to
enlist the services of prospective leg
islators in behalf of a bill for a law
to prevent wrongs to children and an
finals and to establish a state bureau
of child and animal protection. In
her effort she is seconded by R. Ros-
enZweig, president, and R. Orr, Sec
rotary of the Montana State Humane
society. The following letter, sign
ed by Mrs. Rood and the two gentle
men named, has been sent to each
candidate for the legislature:
"a bill for an act to prevent wrongs
to children and animals and to estab-
lish a state bureau of child and ami
NAL protection will be presented at
the next session Of the Montana leg
islature.
"A similar bill has been passed in
a number of other states recently
that cannot claim a greater love of
justice and mercy than can Montana,
and when we appeal to you in the
name of those two great Christian
principles, we know it will not be in
vain.
'Helpless children and helpless an
imals as well are in a large sense the
wards of the state and anything to
better their condition should receive
the aid of the state as we'll as Of in
dividuals.
What has tended more to the ele-
walton of the people in the past 80
years than the work of the Humane
societies all over the world? The
abuse of children and animals before
this was something appalling.
Our advancement toward a higher
civilization depends largely or the at
titude of our legislators who made
the laws that may develop the noblest
type of humanity, or retard our spir-
itual growth 1t is the personal duty
of every humanitarian to support this
bill and the fact that Montana passed
such a measure would speak volumes
for the refinement and humanity of
her citizens
We plead for helpless children and
for these dumb mouths that have no
speech and these sentiments are in
dorsed by the most distinguished men
in our. cCuntry-such as the veteran
statesman, George + Hoar, Congress
man Shafroth, your own Honorable
Paris Gibson and an army of other
humanitarians.

port this bill when it m up.
