FIVE YEARS LAWSUIT.
Decision Affecting Patent Process of
 Making an Alloy.

New York, June 13.-A decision of far reaching importance involv- ing the question as to whether or not the combination of metals in the production of alloys lies within the scope of patent laws has just been entered in the United States district court for New Jersey after five years of litigation. The yalidits of a patent on a process of making an alloy capable of holding up with in itself a given quantity of lead previously impossible without the use of nickel was the subject of con- tention. This alloy Is used princi- paHy for journal bearings and en- zine castings. The owners of tse patent began suit in 1903 alleging an infringement of the patent right. The contention of the plain tlf was upheld by the United States district court of New Jersey but tlit decision later was reversed on ap- peal by the Brady Brass company and the claim Of the plaintiff de- clared to be invalid by the United States circuit court of appeals on the ground that its claims for nov city of invention were all known and we'll understood by the trade long before the application for patent. An appeal to the United States su- preme court 10 review the decision of the court Of appeals has just been denied by the higher court.

OWNED VICIOUS DOG
Man in Court To-Day on Com
 pIaint of Horse Owners.

Dogs have broken loose again and horses in all parts of the city have been the sufferers. Dog Warden Trask is kept on the jump putting suspicious cases out of commission whenever the owner of the dogs agree to surrender them. Domenic Roman iello was in the city court to-day charged with harboring n vicious dog. Dog Warden Trask testified that this mans dog is mongrel St Bernard, the size of a young calf, and with d peculiar propensity for biting horses. Five horses were bitten by it during the past few days, one belonging to the Shades in Oakville, one owned by the Boston Furniture company, one the property of MT Mattoon of Watertown, one owned by the Public Market and one owned by Edward Rylance an expressman.
 MT Slade testified that the dog made six perforations in his horses under lip and for two days it was very sick, and was in the care of veterinarian. Mir Rylance stated that his horse was attacked twice. by the same dog on Bank street the other day, and a driver for the Boston Furniture com pany said his horse was bitten also by the same dog and the marks of it's teeth were plainly evident on the horses nose.
 Mir Trask said these were not the only instances of horses being bitten by vicious dogs, but in the other cases he could not find the dogs. The ac- cused in this case put up defense that his brother Tony owned the dog. He was fined $10 and costs which amounted to $1S.50 and the dog was ordered into the custody of MT Trasll who will watch it for some days to see if it has rabies.

THE POLICE COURT.
Men Paid sfO Each for Theft of
 Lumber.


 While Daniel Lawlor spent the greater part of his wages drinking his wife worked or rather did work in a shop until she got one of her fingers cut. This was the only way she was able to support herself and her two small children. The Law Tors do not live together for Lawlor will not keep sober, his wife said. Three weeks ago he got work on the city streets and he kept the greater part of his wages. Two weeks ago he went to a barber shop, he said, and lost his wages, sS. He has not worked since. He was com mitted td jail for 30 days.
 The cases against Jacob and Jo- seph Rosenbaum for buying funk from minors were again continued
 Jonas AlesandrovieZ and Stanis- law Mortize. employees of the Bene- dict & Burnham company, paid sIO each in settlement of two cases of theft of lumber. A large quantity of pine blanks, planed and ready for use. was found in their cellars and yards on Railroad Hill street yester- day. Employees of the Benedict & Burnham company. who made the discovery were of the opinion that enough lumber was removed from the shop to build two story house. The accused men. il was said. used to wade the river. creep along the coal pocket that was recently added to the plant and would thus come upon the lumber piles quite easily. and al their leasure they would help themselves. All of the stolen lum- Der was taken from the cellars and yards.

OPTIMIST CLUB.
Said to Re No Other Than the Re-
 publican Machine.


 The fact that unusually large numbers of men and women gre out of work with no immediate prospect of finding employment, is source Of much concern to the republican r1a- chine operators, not because they are specially interested in the welfare of humanity but on account of the dan ger lest there should be stampede to the democratic camp at the na- tional election this fall, and thus up- set the ship of state and dump it into the deep. Just how to allay the fears of the man who is on the verge of starvation and keep him in line until after the election is something that it was found wise to take up many moons ago, and after lot or hard thinking by the master minds it was decided to organize the ODti- mistic club of America aId get as many as possible to put their names on the roll. The thing was set in motion at Utah and has since worked its way into different towns and cities all over the country. Dr Good enough is in front of the club in Va tcrbury and he reports everybody in happy frame of mind. notwtth- standing that half the town is idle and the others not working over half time. Mir Robinson, the general head of the institution, was Tn Waterbury yesterday and expressed much pleas ure at what he heard and saw. He reported everybody bubbling over with laughter all over the state and was delighted to know that the situ- ation was substantially the sane here. The object is to give the un- wary good game of jolly, make them believe that life is something of joke and that nobody should take it seriously. Teach men to look at the bright side of things come what may, abjure pcssimism, be an optlmist on all occasions, vote the straight republican ticket, and all will be we'll in the end regardless of apparently gloomy skies and doubtful prospects, The scheme IS bearing some fruit, but the party managers see breakers ahead and are frank enough to admit that it Is out of the question to keep hungcy nor tals in good humor and that nothing short of better times can restore sun shine and mirth in the home of the intelligent American citizen. He re- fuses to reconcile himself 10 2 con dition that threatens to reduce him to the level of the pauper and thinks 1t about time he took time by the forelock and made an effcrt 10 save the little that Is left of his inceren- dence. In other words, ne believes 1t time to call halt on the rapubli- can politician and has made up his mind not to discard his long face until he sees something better than crumbs for himself and his fam fly relegated to the grave of oblivion from which they never should lave emerged. After this has been accom- plished he will join the Optimistic club and make merry with the rest of the boys.
