DIFFERENCES STILL UNSETTLED.

Washington. July 26.-In pursuance OF another eff
fort to adjust the open issues between Colombia
and Panama growing out of the separation of the
latter state from Colombia, Senior Cortez. the Co
Iombian Minister. attended by Senior Guzman. his
secretary of legation. called at the State Depart
ment to-day by appointment. TO meet William Mel
son Cromwell who is understood to represent the
government of Panama in this matter.
The State Department. believing that the time is
opportune for a friendly agreement and that delay
Will be fatal to a satisfactory understanding, has
been using its good offices To bring the parties
together and tins conference was the outcome. AS
far as can be gathered, owing to the absence from
Washington of certain officials who interested
in the matter il is doubtful if the arrangement de-
sired can be reached before next fall 1t was stated
that no final conclusions were reached to-day.

Sermon
BY Rev.
Frank De Witt Talmase. ID. d.

Los Angeles, Cal, June 3O.-In this
sermon, appropriate to the nations
birthday, the preacher recalls the
events that have contributed to our
country's greatness and traces the Di-
vine hand guiding its destinies The
text is Psalm lxxvii, II, Surely I will
remember thy wonders of old"
During the coming week we celebrate
our birth as a nation. Our topic this
morning, therefore, should be patriotic.
The text | have chosen invites us to
"Reminiscences, and the "Reminiscences
need not be limited TO our own lives
Like our famous writer, Edward Ever
EFT Hale, our thoughts may we'll in
clude THE Memories Of a Hundred
Years" That book deals, for the
most part, with the youthful history Of
this nation. When think of the Rev
dictionary war and the signing Of the
Declaration of Independence and the
forming of the constitution of the Unit
ed States and the political supremacy
of Washington's government, l always
think OF our government as new
born baby in its swaddlng clothes.
But when think of the government of
Jefferson, Madison and Monroe and
the great causes which led up to our
civil war I think of the boyhood and
young manhood of our country. 1t is
about this Development of our govern
ment that I would like to speak today.
Such n theme should offer us wide
scope for national sermon~
AS read that interesting book the
fact which forced itself upon me was
that in the beginning of the last cen
fury the complete unification of the
United States government had not
been established Or. Hale we'll said:
"On the LIST Of January, 1901 the
United States was n belt on the Allan
tic eaboard Of thirteen poor and weak
communities, occupying territory which
hardly ran back more than 80 miles
from the ocean. They had united
themselves, but they did not know that
they were a nation. Even the states
men Of that day would have written,
The United States are ready or are
prepared while an officer of ours to-
day would say, The United States is
ready or IS prepared In other
words, though the constitutional con-
vention which formed the original
thirteen colonies into fedora ton had
assembled in 1877, yet up to the latter
part Of John Adams administration
the different states still thought the
central government was OF minor i'm
portance and that the state legislatures
had more power than the national con-
gress.

ginning of George Washingtons ad-
ministration. '>ut did not think it was
so clear down through John Adams

PATENTS ON INVENTIONS.
Must he In the Names of the Actual
Inventors.


The law provides for the granting of
patents only to the actual inventor of
the patented invention. and patent
granted in the name of any one else
is invalid. For this reason it is essen
tial that the application for patent be
made in the name of the one whom
the law regards as the inventor. In
some factories it Is the custom to pat
ent every invention in the name Of
the president of the company. This
frequently happens because the COM
pany has been built up on inventions
made by the president or other officer,
and as matter of pride the president
wishes to see all patents issued in his
name.
This is n dangerous thing to do in
the case of inventions which were con-
ceived by the employee independently
of the officer, such as inventions wholly
worked out by employee without sug-
gestion or assistance from the officer.
for If In suit brought under such
patent it were shown that while the
patent was granted in the name of the
officer the invention was actually made
by an employee the patent would be
declared invalid, and usually suit
would not have reached such stage
patent the invention in the name Of
the real inventor Edwin ]. Prindle

THE Hugonots are people in France

Their leader Is man named Jean Val

nots are very good people. A lady
named Evangeline wrote long poem
about them, but it don't rhyme"
