RIGHT TO CONTROL
 PATENTED ARTICLE
MT. Hill Disapproves Decision in
 Favor of Patentee.

Washington, April g. Connecticut Congressmen say they are hearing nothing from their constituents re- garding the recent Supreme court de- cision to the effect that patentee can control the use Of his patented ar ticle after it has been sold. This proposition was denounced as revo- lutionary by Chief Justice White in a dissenting opinion. The effect of the decision might be to require the owner of a piano player to use only music manufactured by the maker of the instrument, and so on. It is even said that the owner Of a patented ar ticle could not destroy it, sell or give 1t away without the patentee's per- mission in case the patentee chose to exercise his alleged rights to the full est extent
 MT. Hill does not approve of the de- cision. MT. Henry, a member of/the patent committee, says that body has not taken up the matter and will not do so for some time. He expects no action at this session on legislation suggested by the chief justice to rem edy conditions that may arise under the decision.

MYSTERIOUS FLUID
 DRAWN FROM BRAIN
Johns Hopkins University Surgeon
 Performs Rare Operation in Hospital.

Baltimore, Md, April s-An opera ton never excelled either in delicacy or skill, it is said, was performed by Dr. Harvey Cushing, brain specialist of the Johns Hopkins Hospital last week. During the operation a DOT tion of the minor brain known>as the pituitary, was showed aside and re- placed after a quantity of foreign fluid had been removed. ..
 The patient is on the road to re- covery after having suffered many months with an affliction seldom brought to scientific notice. He is Harry Edmondson, young business man of Columbus, Ohio. An X-ray photograph revealed the fact that a strange fluid had formed in the cav ity at the base of the brain. To this failing eyesight and drowsy per- iods were attributed.
 The fluid had to be drained off, but this could not be done without first drilling a tiny hole just behind the left ear. Then before the fluid could be drained off the pituitary itself had to be either removed or showed to one side, for this tiny sphere block ed the exit of the fluid.
 To sever the little ball would be fatal to the patient, but at last the nerves were moved to one side, draw ing the small body after them and leaving an opening for the liquid. Af- ter the last drop had been removed the pituitary was replaced and the hole in the skull was packed.

IMPERSONATOR OF NOTE
 TO APPEAR AT LIBRARY.

On Saturday evening April 13, Vest port is to be treated to an enter tainment by an artist of rare abil- ity, when Miss Marion Wilson will give a series of impersonations. She is brought to this town by the Sem for class of Staples High school, and the proceeds will go toward defray- ing the graduation expenses of the class. Miss Wilson was seen here a year ago under the auspices of the Knights of Pythias, but this time she will present an entirely new program, and those who have already seen her will be glad of the opportunity again. It is probable that the entertainment will be finished in time to allow those who wish to go to the dance of the Vigilant Hose company to do so and reach there in time to enjoy the dancing. This date was set before the dance was made public and it was found impossible to change it.

THE GAME OF KNAPPAN.
A Murderous, Skull Cracking Sport
 That Gave UA Football.

That Gave Us Football.
 George Owen, lord of Kemes. a Welsh gentleman who lived in Penn brokeshire 300 years ago. has left a description of the extraordinary game of 'knappan." which seems to have been the forefather of Rugby football
 Two thousand foot, besides horse men. he tells us. were frequently en- gagged. and. as for the ground. it was a stretch of open country at least two miles long and often much more The umpires who watched the goals were mounted on swift horses.
 There appear to have been no side boundaries and no rules in particular. except that it was not etiquette to commit murder. The game was start ed at 2 in the afternoon and lasted until one side got a goal or until darkness fell.
 The game began as follows:
 "The combatants having come to- gether. a crye is made. when all pro- ceed to divest themselves of their clothing, save only a thin pair of brooches. If the player have but a shirt on his back. in the fury of the game it is torn to4pieces."
 The ball was small and made of wood. but the game resembIed Rugby in that the players ran with the bali and when collared passed to another of their own side.
 The man with the ball ran till tack led; then. if he could not pass, he was summoned three times to deliver the ball. If he refused his head was punched until he gave in. Our chron- i~ler hints that. instead of the mere fist. stones were sometimes used h the player proved obstinate.
 At times." says the writer. ''the times you shall see five or six hundred naked men beating in cluster togeth- CT as fast as fists can zoe. soc that you shall see two brothers. the one beating the other, the man the master, the friend against friend"
 Spectators had to be uncommonly careful. for if one got meshed in the titanic combat he was at once made a player by lending him half dozen cuffes.''
 Most extraordinary scenes occurred at times. On one occasion a mounted player got away with the ball and won the match for his side and so much honor and glory that he was anxious to repeat the performance.
 But at the next match. much to his chagrin, no one would or could pass the ball to him. so presently he resoIv- ed oD a stratagem. He suddenly broke from the crowd and began gaIIopfng away as fast as he could. pretending that he had the knappan in his grasp
 A score or so of the opposing cava- Hers. deceived by his trick, followed him. and apparently he was not so well mounted as on the previous occasion. for they caught him and demanded the ball. They fatly refused to believe his protests that he had not got it and beat him sorely. He was struck to the ground and every stitch of clothes torn from his bruised body. and he was left to lament the entire failure of his smart scheme.
 All the horsemen in the game of knappan carried heavy cudgels. and blows were exchanged which would have killed men less hard than the players of that wonderful age.-Pear. sons Weekly.
