SAYS EDISON CO. INFRINGED.
Suit for $4,000 Brought Against To-
peka Concern for Using Patent.

The Electric Storage Battery COM
pany of Philadelphia today filed a suit
in the United States circuit court
against the Edison Electric Illumina-
ton company of Topeka for $4,000
damages alleging that the Topeka con-
Germ had infringed on a patent owned
by the plaintiff. An injunction is also
asked for to restrain the Topeka COM
pany from using the device any longer.
The invention in question is named
in the petition as a Regulation Rail-
way and Electrical Power Circuit and
was constructed by Cyprien o. Mall
loux for the Electric Storage and Bat
terry company of Philadelphia, in
June, 1890.
The suit filed today states that the
Topeka company has been putting out
a similar device under its own patent
and claims that this has actually dam
aged the plaintiff to a sum of $50, 900.
R.Wheeler represents the Phil
adelphia company.
c. r. MaunSell, manager of the Edi-
son company, when asked in regard to
the matter, said: Sometime ago the
Gould Battery and Storage company of
New York, with which we cooperate,
and the Electric Battery and Storage
company of Philadelphia bid on a $780,
BOO job in Topeka and the Gould COM
papy won out. That made the Phila-
delphia people mad. They are trying to
scare US now but they can't. The Gould
people are back of US. 1t is nothing but

but none have been. seen in Topeka so
far.
Cross saddle riding for women orig
mated in the western mountain resorts
where it is often the only possible
means of sticking on a horses back.
Women who had always used side sad
dies or who had never learned to ride
on account of the difficulties of the side
mount became accustomed to the cross
saddle and were delighted with the
ease, safety and comfort which it af-
fords They took 1t up by degrees and
although it has required a good many
years to establish the custom the most
conservative western women have now
adopted it and the equestrienne astride
town west of the Mississippi.
The first Topeka girl to ride cross
saddle exclusively was Miss Hazel
Mulvane, daughter of DIR. and Mrs. G..

two years ago and is generally reccg-

fails to attract admiring attention by
her poiSe and bearing. She wears,
when riding, tan covert divided skirt
with coat to match when the wealth er
is cool and a plain shirt waist or
sweater for different temperatures.
Her hat is a wide sombrero also of tan

with this set of girls, who, while they
have no organized equestrian club, take
their canters together as a general
thing and find their mutual delight in
the sport a strong bond of caroSraderie.

Probably the fact that the women
have taken it UP mas nothing to do
with it, but the fact remains that more
men than usual are riding this summer.

Saints Signed Brown From Northern

But one game will be played Sat
urday afternoon, and not a double

morning. Captain Cope of the Pirates
called the negotiations off at noon to-
day, saying that his team is badly
crippled and that he is short on pitch
ers. Marshall's band will play, how
ever. as previously announced.
Pitcher McCarty was released this
morning from the team at his own
request He is out of condition, not
having pitched a game for 20 days
since his suspension from Omaha. He
says that he will join the American
association team at Toledo and get in
shape to pitch at least a few more
games this season. This does not jibe
very well with his story that Man
ager O'Rourke of the Omahogs will
not allow him to play Glass B base
ball any more this year.
A new third baseman by the name
of Brown from the northern league
has been signed and is expected to
report almost any time. He is rated
