German Patent Office Faults.

The German patent Office comes in
for much censure. One would suppose
such an institution to exact no more
Of inventors than is needed to pay
current expenses. but in reality the
charges are so high that the state
pockets half the income as profit. II
Is pointed out that for poor inventors
matters are almost as bad as they
we're when Gutenberg, after inyentlng
the art of printing lived in poverty
and finally had to pawn his apparatus

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory II the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness. it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and flneness of the fabric is
hidden behind q paste Of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
Ing quality Of the goods. This trouble
can be entirely overcome by using De-
fiance Starch, as It can be applied
much more thinly because of Its great
err strength than other makes.

In one OF the Sunday schools In
Maiden. Mass, recently the teacher
Of a class Of small boys inquired OF
each one II he thought he had been
a better boy during the year. Each
answer was In tho Affirmative except
one little fellow about eight years
old, who was conspicuous for his ST.
lence. The teacher put the question
to him a second time, when with con-
siderable earnestness he replied: 81

Tho extraordinary popularity Of fine
white goods this summer makes the
choice of Starch n matter Of great i'm
portance. Defiance Starch, being free
from all injurious chemicals, is the
only one which Is safe to use on fine
fabrics. Its great strength as stiff
ener makes half the usual quantity OF
Starch necessary, with the result of
perfect finish, equal to that when the
goods were new.

9. W Westlake Of Hailey, has been
here several days, with a couple OF
miners employed driving the adit sGn-
mel on the Ruth mine, on the west side
of the Poorman, belonging to him and
Jack Lewis. The vein, though mar
row one, has shown a streak of very
rich ore in the tunuel, almost from the
grass roots. but is now widening, and
the face of the tunnel is now in copper
stained ore and within a few feet OF
wider shoot of ore of the same charac-
ter which is shown in drift higher up
the mountain, and it is for this they
have been running. Jack Lewis, Mr.
Westlake's partner, has been quite i'll
for several DAYS past.
Mr.. NJ. NJ. Johnson, representative of
Samuel Newhouse, has been at the
Commoner mine now being developed
by the Security Mining Company, since
Tuesday. The miners are still sinking
the shaft, and the vein is getting wider
as they 20 down and is still maintain
ing the same character Of very high
grade ore. Mr.. johnson has given or
ders for the construction of an Office
and assay building at the mine, and an
order is now out for lumber for this
purpose. Other improvements will be
made also.

mine. ten miles from Sumpter, where
he is now superintendent for the COM
pany. 1t is big niue, running mill

a fne mechanic and miner with pro-
gressive inclinations, and his many
friends here will be pleased to learn

now doing. While here Norton made
what was virtually cash offer for a
prominent War Eagle mining property
at the figure understood to be asked
for it. The offer was made by him
upon instructions from his company i.
But the owners could not be gotten to-
gether, and the deal is still hanging up.
1t would be fiue thing for the camp
to have it go through.

In the Vanderbilt Allen Suit in Bridge
port Yesterday.

In the Vanderbilt Allen Suit in Bridge
port Yesterday.
Bridgeport, May PA hard-luck
story was told this morning in the SUI
perior court by Vanderbilt Allen. the
grandson of Commodore Vanderbilt.
Allen, formerly pet in Newport society
and wealthy artist, now is reported to
have an income of $40 a week. He is
suing DIR. Rutland, proprietor of the
Westport sanitarium, for $25, 900 dam
ages, alleging that he was wrongfuly
detained in the institution for six years.
Mr.. Allen said:
My character is destroyed. I write
to my relatives, but they don't answer
my letters. My friends turn their
backs to me and walk the other way
when they see me on the street. have
gone to each of my relatives and asked
them to give me an order for a pic
ture, but they have Systematically re-
fused"
The defense is trying to prove that
Allen was insane when he was placed
in the sanitarium, and was not fit to be
at large. A section Of the plaster from
the wall of the room which Allen occu-
pied in the sanitarlum was brought into
court and introduced as evidence. On
the plaster was written, It's damn
mean to force poisonous drugs upon me.
Frame what I say, don't know any

mitted that he had written the above
rambling discourse. He didn't know
what he meant by it.
The artist also told of his plan to
start an art weekly in New York. He
admitted that he had not secured a
dollar toward the project, but had
many promises.
DR. Charles l.. Dana, the celebrated
alenist of New York city, was called
by the defense. He testified that he
had been called to examine Allen to
December, 1896, just before the artist
was sent to the sanitarium, The artist
thought DIR. Dana and his associate,
DR.. Collins were detectives. He talked
freely to them about secret societies
which were bounding him, of strange
voices in the air and rough men who
were pursuing him. Dr. Dana said AL
lens condition was described as homi-
cldal fnonomania. The artist was dam
gerously insane at that time and might
have killed somebody.
! A motion for a non-suit to-day fol-
lowed the introduction of a document,
alleged to have been signed by w. s.
/ Vanderbilt Allen in 1904, in which the
signer releases from all liability his
sister, Mrs. James H, Ward, and her
husband for sending him to the West
port sanitariuR. This document, which
/ it is said was not discovered until
I shortly after the trial started a week
ago, and which Allen admitted signing,
was the occasion of long arguments by
counsel at the morning session, but
was finally allowed Following this
Attorney Judson made a motion that
Judge eager should direct the jury to
bring in a verdict for the defense, His
reason for the motion, he stated, was
that, by law, the release of one de-
PENDANT releases all. In consequence
he contended that Mr.. Allen had vol
unfairly signed the release, and that,
under the law, it would act favorably
to the defendants, DR.. rutland and the
Westport Sanitarium association, and
so was bar to the suit. The motion
was argued for about an hour and then
was denied by Judge eager.
Almost the entire morning was taken
up with the arguments concerning the
document.
Mrs. Ward, a sister Of the plaintiff,
was the next witness called.
