RECORD AGAIN BROKEN.
Largest Issue Of Patents Recorded at
Any One Time

Any One Time
The largest issue of patents ever record
ed at any one time in the history of the
United States patent office was granted yes
terday. the total number of patents and de-
signs issued being 1885, Of which number 844
were to citizens of the United States and
90 to citizens of foreign countries. OF this
issue citizens of Pennsylvania received S.
larger number than was granted to citi-
zens of any other state. New York, how
ever. is a close second with 81. The in
VentOrs OF California are maintaining their
largely increased record of the past few
months, "a patents being granted to citi-
zens of that state in the last issue.
Three patents were granted to residents
Henry Borgmann. extension table; Joseph
w. Graeme. condiment holder: Harmon 8.
Palmer machine for molding hollow con-
crete building blocks.
Germany maintains her stand at the head
of the list of patents issued to citizens of
foreign countries. with % as her share of
the last issue, while England follows in Sec
ond place. with %. These two countries
have retained about these relative positions
in regard to the securing of United States
patents for the past few months, and the
close competition of the two countries has
been a subject of interest to those in the
patent office who pay attention to such de-
tails of the work.
Officials of the patent Office state that
the issue thus far for 1903 has been con-
siderably larger than for the corresponding
months of 1902. In April of last year there
were 2,71S patents granted by the office,
while the records Of the Office for the
month Just past show that 3, 1A patents
were granted. In the allowed files of the
office for the month Of April with the elm
ination of cases granted and 1873 cases
which were forfeited because Of non-pay-
ment OF final fees. the number of cases
awaiting final payment of fees increased
1883.
The notable increase in applications for
patents and also in the number issued is
ascribed by the officials of the Office to the
increased industry and thrift OF the in
Ventors. and to the encouragement received
by them from manufacturers for the in
ventIon of labor-saving devices. According
to those who should be conversant with
the matter. the average inventor is usually
lacking In worldly goods, and he expert
ences considerable difficulty in obtaining the
funds with which to procure patent for
the product of his hands and BRAIN 1t Is
thought from the large increase noted dur
ing both last year and this that the manu-
facturers are backing the inventors to a
considerable extent in their efforts to Sc
cure patents on their devices. Shrewd bust
ness men are ever on the alert for ma
chine that will save labor and time, and
they are usually willing, especially in pros
of a new machine which promises we'll to
secure the protection provided by the gov
eminent for his device.
The patent Office is said to be an indicator
Of the business condition of the country and
as such there seems sufficient evidence Of
the general prosperity and healthy business
condition of the United States.

SEWERAGE FAULTY.
conditions at Industrial Home School
Called to Attention.

called to Attention.
captain Z. M. Chester, superintendent of
the United States naval observatory, has
written to the District Commissioners call
ing attention to the sewerage arrangements
at the Industrial Home School, and asking
that steps be taken to better the condi-
lions there. Captain Chester says the sew
age disposal bed is supplemented by the
damming of stream of water which runs
through the school grounds and thence
through the naval observatory grounds
into Rock creek, the overflow of which in
combination with the sewerage plant makes
large area of polluted water from which
malaria arises and mosquitoes breed
with the prevailing southwest winds of
the summer months, - he adds, these in
sects are driven directly toward the OBJ
servatory, and the ability with which mos
quitoes are known to distribute disease
causes me to fear serious trouble unless
something is done right away to protect
the people living in this vicinity from con-
taS1on. The stencil alone is something al
most unpearanle, and would not be toler-
ated In our distant island possessions in
this advanced age of sanitary science. It
was understood that pumping system for
the discharge of sewerage matter was to
be inaugurated at the school. but appar-
emily 1t is not in working order yet. and
may not be, for some time to come"
Captain Chester calls attention to the
tact that the government spent a large
amount OF money to- remove the obsei'va-
tory from the banks of the Potomac river
to its present site, primarily to better its
sanitary conditions. Yet, he says. 1t is
not infinitely better today than the sur
roundings of the new location with the
conditions rrevailin9. II11s asks tat seWe-
thing ha done at once.

Senator Lodges Fake Tariff Bill.

The demand for free hides has be-
come so strong in New England that
Senator Lodge has apparently broken
loose from the stand patters' and has
introduced bill to put hides on the
free list. Nobody knows better than
does Senator Lodge that all bills af-
-fecting the revenue must have their
origin in the house. This fact is suft1-
cient 10 establish the fakiness of the
bin. even if Senator Lodge did not
know that the fat of the stand patters
is to hold fast and to touch no tariff
schedule until after the presidential
election Under these conditions the
willy senator considered it perfectly
safe TO introduce his little bill at the
wrong end of the capitol.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1903-11-27

Senator Plat is beginning To see
unmistakabe signs that he is no
longer autocrat of the republican
party in New York state. He arrived
in New York last Thursday and went
to his usual quarters in the Fifth Az
enue hotel. but there was far from
the same rush of leaders TO consult
him as of yore. As matter of fact,
most of them were over at the re-
publican club dancing attendance on
Gov. Odell. who is putting up there.
1t j. evident that the venerable sena-
tor is not now regarded as the party
leader. though he is not yet without
influential following. But it is clear
that those who have an eye on the
loaves and fishes now look more to
the governor than TO the Tioga states
man.

A Trust Buster Needed.

The beef combine has turned the
screw another notch higher by discon-
tinuing the delivery of their products
to the local butchers. This will save a
large outlay for horses, wagons and
drivers TO the trusts, but will entail "A
corresponding expense TO the retail
butchers. The consumer. as usual, will
pay the bills, and the Elizabeth (N. j.
Times says the butchers will raise the
price of meat. Whether this action of
the trust is general or confined TO New
Jersey is not yet apparent. but if the
beef trust can saddle its expenses on
the retail butchers in New Jersey it can
and probably will make this same saw
ing everywhere. The much belauded
injunction against the beef combine
that comprises the only effort of the
administration against an Industrial
trust does not appear to have any effect
upon it's eXtOrtions. While cattle and
hogs have declined in price, the COM
bine still charges the same rate for
their products. and in New Jersey, at
least, the retail price of meat is adj
vancing.
Instead of broncho buster we need
a trust buster.
