BARBED WIRE.

The Washburn & Koen Company Beaten in the Iowa Suits for Alleged Infringement

Another Judicial Declaration that the Glidden and Keller Kclssued Patents Are iBralfd.

Keokuk Dispatch. Judge MoCrary rendered final deoreea in tho two suit brought by the Washburn Moen Company against Walter and J. E. Rhodes Tor the Infringement respectively of tho reissued GUUden and Kelley barbed wire patents. Tho decrees in these two cases apply to eight lown suits In all. In which tho same issues are involved The decree on tbe Oliddcn reissued patent declares it is invalid and of no effcot, because it 18 tho same Invention described in the original patent, and secured because the claim of the reissued patents was unlawfully expanded, and there was undue delay in applying for fa:d reissue. Complainants' bill was thorefoi dismissed and defendants have the right to recovor tlieir costs. In the suit involving the Kelley patent it was bold that tho fourth claim of the reissued (latent was invalid for the same reasons suited in the first ease, and tbe court found for tbe defendants upon tho issue of infringement ruado in tho ploadlugs. Tbe same order was made concrning costs and dismissal of the bill. The Washburn & Moon representatives say the next fight will bo ou the original Glidden patent. Same of tho Iowa cases are likely to bo carried to tho Unilod States Supreme Court. HISTORY or the utioatios. Plain or unearned wire had been in quite general use for fencing throughout the West for soma years before barbed wire began to be made in a small way under patents taken out as early as 1868 by Kelloy and 1874 by Glidden, and others not so well known. Between 1800 and 1876 thcro were fully thirty different patents granted to various parties on lMirbed-wirc fences. Hut the business waj In its infancy. Few realized what it was to become In half-a-dozen years. One of these few was Mr. Washburn, of Worcester, Mass. Ho conceived the idea of huylnc up all the Important pntcnts and making a great monopoly. In February, 1870, Washburn fe Moeu obtained their subsequently famous "n-Issuos" of the Kelley and Glldtlen patent. Tl e reissuing was ingenious. In this new form the patents contained and claimed much more than the or ginals. Under these reissues the Worcester iirfn sot up its so-called "broad claim " It held tbat the patent s gave It control of th. principle of a barbed-wire fence, no matter by what device the wire had been prepared. Having secured tho patents, having bad them reissued with tbese new and sweeping claims, the noitt step was to secure a decision from the courts sustaining them. This was not gained for several years. Meanwhile tbe business had grown enormously. Thriving wire factories had grown np everywhere in tbe Western States, competing with the large Eastern establishments. The business was ent irely free. Makers knew little about the patents, cared less, and were not interfered with. But Washburn 4 Moen were quietly at work. In November. 1880, thev eained their famous case in tun Vnitcd States Cironit Court at Chicago. Judges Drainmond and lilodgett decidlne that the re-issued patents were valid and In full force. Tho barb-wire business was brought to a short halt by this decision. Every man in the country making, selling, or Using barb-wire was liablo to suit for infringement, and manufacturers were liable to pay ruinous back royalties. In this state of affairs Mr. Washburn and his attorneys summoned the principal manufacturers of tho country to meet th m for a grand settlement. Thev came together in Chicago In February, 1881,' three months after tbe decision. Washburn was in a position to dictate terms, and each maker took the best he could get. About forty Arms were licensed to continue the business, each being limited as to the annual tonnage of its output and each being assessed a certain sum, larger or smaller, for back damages. Mr. Washburn and his licensees at this same meeting fixed upon a certain price for wire, no licensee being allowed to undersell. The price of wire to consumers was advanced by the monopoly about $46 above the recent current price (raising the wholesale price from about 6 cents to about 8 cents per pound). Washburn & Hoen's royalty was (Iff per ton. Small makers were not Uccnmd, and were all crushed out. Such, then, was the little monopoly which from February, 1881, to the present time has added somewhat more than f U'.ooo.ooo extra profit to tho price of wire sold farmers in half-a-doien Western and Northwestern States, Iowa, being much tbe largest consumer, felt tbe burden heaviest. The farmers of that State formed a "protective association." They set up an establishment in Dos Moines for making "moonshine" wire, and prepared themselves to fight the matter through the courts. Meanwhile tbe Supreme Court of the United States had inditectly fctruck a blow at the monopoly by its decision on the subject of reissued patents in the celebrated case of "Miller vs. The Bra's Company." In this case a new and valuable doctrine was laid down. There had arisen among a certain class of Eastern capitalists a very corrupt and pernicious practice in thL matter of patents. If this article or commodity began to come into the markets, they bad a practice of rummaging among old and abandoned patents until they found something in some wiso relating to the now popular commodity. Of course this old patent could bo bought up for a song. They would then have It "reissued" and so broadened and strengthened as to make it valuable and to give them a monopolizing power over tbe commodity. It was to check this dangerous practice that the Supreme Court laid down in tho case of "Sillier vs. The Brass Company" a set of new and stringent rules governing ttic reissue of patents. Tho new doctrine threw a cloud over the Glidden and Kelley barbed-wire patents and the Chicago Drnmmond-BIodgctt decision. It gave the Iowa farmers their basis for a case. Under tho countenance of tho Fanners' Association several other "mooushlning" factories arose and grew like mushrooms into large business by their ability to undersell the monopolists. Washburn & Moen entered suits and petitions against alt these moonshiners. Instead of earn ing thesuitsagainst the farmers through the courts tbe monopolists, it was charged, bought up the Dc Moines manufacturer, who wan the agent for the Farmers' Association. Tbe brunt of the fight on the broad claim" was borne by the Grlnnell Wire Company. A decision was made by United States Judges McCrory, Love, and Treat in the Circuit Court for the Southern District of Iowa In May, 1883. that the Keller and Glidden reissued patents w.ro invalid. This decision hs now beon affirmed in the Rhodes cases-J

Hotel Mews. "Where will wo stop in St. lionis, Charley ?" asked n brido of her brandnow hubby as thoy were speeding westward on their bridal tour, via the Wabash railroad. "Tho Hotel Belvedere." "Hush, Charley; don't call me 'dear' in public, or every one will know we are newly married." The Hooxier. The Way Mother DM. "I wish," remarked Mr. Blinks, in a a querulous tone, "that you would learn to do things the way my mother did. Now, these tea cakes are not sweet enough, they have a littlo too much spice, and, beside, are a little mite heavy. Now, my mother always " "Mr.' Blinks," asked Mrs. B., with a dangerous light in her eyes, "what did your mother do when you used to come homo from school aud grumble at everything, after she had slaved herself nearly to death all day trying to get things in some sort of shape for supper?" "She she bos ed my ears," murmured Mr. B." "I shall endeavor to do things as your mothor did," said Mrs. B., quietly. Mr. B. concluded that the cakes were pretty good. Beauty in the Hand. Two charming young ladies wore discussing one day what it is which constitutes beauty in the hand. They dif-

jered in opinion as much as in the shape

of the beautiful member whose merits they were discussing. A young gentleman presented himself) aud by common consent the matter was referred to him. It was a delicate matter. He thought of Paris and the three goddesses. Glancing from one to the other of tho beautiful white hands presented to him, which, by the way, he had the cunning to hold for some' time in his own, for the nurpose of examination, ho replied,

at lost: "I give it up; the question is

too hard for me; but ask tne poor, ana they will tell you that the most beautiful hand in the world is tho hand wfiich

gives.

Women Fencers. A man with a waxed mustache, mild blue eyes, and a bald head stood in a martial attitude in his fencing academy and twirled a stick in his hand. It tho stick was about three feot long, half on inch in diameter, and had a basket hilt, which effectually protected the hand of the man using it. "This is the implement that ladies bandlo in fencing," said the professor,

balancing it deftly on one finger.

"why don t they use tne ion "Thev are afraid of it. Besides, they

don't like to wear masks, which rumple

the hair." "Have you many women pupils V "Nine come here, and I have two families whom I visit twice a week. My outside pupils have gymnasiums of their own, and two of them are quite expert with the sticks. I don't aim to teach them fencing simply the shortstick exercises. They do not thrust at each other with intent to strike, but merely for the side arm movements used in parrying. It is all very nico and gentle." "Then they do not learn to fence as men do?" "Oh, no. Thoy scream if yon attempt anything aggressive. What they want is tho exercise of the thing. It gives them good co'.or, makes their arms full, their wrists strong, and rapidly increases their strength. It is particularly good for girls who lack an erect and shall I say jaunty?" "Yes, if you choose." Yes, jaunty carriage,' said the professor, stepping about on his toes, and toying carelessly with his waxed mustache. "How do women dress when indulging in small-stick practice ?" "In the blooming I mean bloomercostume commonly used for gymnasium exercise, kuee breeches, long stockings, full waist, no belt, and long skirt. Usually girls are satisfied to go through the simpler movements of the exorcise, and stop there, but once in a while a girl eoiues along who becomes ambitious for the real art of fencing. A littlo practical experience usually disheartens her. There are, however, half a dozen women in New York who are reasonably expert. "Women cannot compete with men, then?" "Oh, no. Thev have not the build or ednurance. Tho exercise tires them out. The sticks satisfy them usually."

Social Shams. "Society is a sham," says the soge, and the truth of tho remark is daily being proven. The devices adopted by society belles to outshino each other are many and numerous, the latest that has como to light being the hiring of costly jewels for some swell party or reception. While most of the ladies who liave an entree to the high social circle in this city are very wealthy, there are some who aro comparatively poor, but, owing to family connections, belong to tho upper tenilom, and are to bo seen at most of the high-toned parties and receptions, dressed elegantly and weasng jewels that cost fabulous prices. A Chronicle reporter noted this circumstance, and long sought a solution of it without buccos, until a few days ago, when tho mystery was solved accidentally. The reporter was talking to the proprietor of ono of the largest jewelry establishments in this city, when a young lady, who was recognized as a society belio without a dowry, entered and asked if her diamonds were ready. "Yes," replied the proprietor, aj he produced a case containiug a necklace and a pair of ear-riugs, composed of large solitaires, and handed them to tho young lady, who, after examining them for a moment, departed with tho jewels. "Has your customer marriod some rich old man, who supplies her with e.uch costly jewels?" queried tho reporter. "No," replied tho jeweler, "she is still single, These dia,mon48 belong to

me, and she has only hired them to wear at Mrs. Blank's reception this evening. You look astonished," continued tho jeweler, and, in answer to further questions, he said : "The hiring of costly jewels for an evening is not by any moans a new thing in this city, and I do quite an extensive business in that Hue, You Would be surprised' if I named some of my customers who hire jewelry. Tho set that young lady just took away from tero is the most expensive I have in tho store. I charge nor $10 for the use of the diamonds this evening, and she will excite the envy and tho jealousy of her friends. It's singular that you newspaper men have nover heard it before," continued the jeweler. "It's as common almost as tho hiring of drcst suits by gentlemen. Wo change the se. tings of the jewels frequently, so as to enable different peoplo to wear tho same set without exciting suspicion. Occasionally 1 have rented sets for a season to ladies who summer at Santa Cruz, Monterey, or othor resorts. In the case of strangers, I, of course, reiuire a deposit of the full valuo of the jewels; but the most of my patrons are well kuown, and never fail to return the jewelry on time. If they were ever tempted to retain them, the fear of an exposure and social disgrace would deter them. "Then, in addition to hiring out jewels, there is another branch of my business which is also novel, it being nothing more or less than tho renting of silver sorvices. Antique designs are most in favor, and many a resident has exhibited my services to his guests as highly treasured heirlooms. This branch of the business is handsomely paid for. Then, again, we are frequently called on to supply bric-a-bac for weddings and to rent fine silver services, jewels, etc., to swell the list of bridal presents and make, a fine display, San Francteco Chronicle.

Bolivar. Simon Bolivar is the man to whom, abovo any other person, South America owes its freedom from Spanish oppression. A native of Venezuela, after visiting England and the United States in 1809, he determined to liberate his own country from foreign domination. After the insurrection of Caracas, April 10, 1810, be was sent to London to interest the British Government in behalf of the insurgents, or" patriots," but, finding this vain, he entered the army under Gen. Miranda, and fought in many successful engagements. The Spaniards, however, regained possession of Venezuela, and Bolivar fled to Curacoa. Hero, with the aid of the Governor of New Grenada, he raised a new army, with which he entered Caracas as a conqueror on Aug. 4, 1813. Ho was hailed as tho liberator of Venezuela, and appointed dictator for life. Six years later, at Angostura, he received the title of President, with the powers of dictator. He next freed New Grenada from Spanish rule, and attached it to Venezuela as a republic, under the nnmo of Colombia, being rewarded with tho Presidency of the new state. In 1824 the Spanish were finally driven from Pern, and within three years the Bolivian code was adopted by Bolivia and Ecuador. But jealousies and conspiracies arose, and scarcely had the "liberator" of South America been appoiuted President for life, when he was ejected from tho office and bitterly denounced as an ambitious adventurer. Venezuela sepnrated from Colombia immediately. Bolivar retired to Cartagena in failing health, and died at San Padro in 1S-30, but not until tho Government of Bogota, repenting of its ingratitude, had voted him a pension of 30,000 piasters, with the thanks of tho Colombian people. Ho died in tho prime of life, at the age of 47 years Inter Ocean. Medical Value of Music. It is not singular that in a city so justly famed for its love of music as Bo stem is, th e effects which are produced upou tho human organism by the concord of sweet sounds should have attracted the attention of such an intelligent physician as our young friend Dr. Podgers. He, like somo others, had noticed the differences in appearance and action which such and such compositions excito in our concertgoers the aspect of painful but heroic endurance which is caused by a Brahms symphony; the lively wagging of heads, patting of feet, and beating time of hands when a lively march is played; and the peaceful slumber that calms the features and attunes the snore when a piano soloist is struggling through a composition in live movoments and of three-quarters of an hour's duration. He has consequently conceived the idea that, by developing the theory to which his observations in this direction have given birth, a new school of medicine may be founded, where music instead of phvsic shall bo tho remedy for human ills, and already perceives himself as the founder of a system which shall be called the "Podgerian," and set him on the same pedestal with Hahnemann. He is now busily engaged in taking lessons on tho accordion this instrument being easily portable and less difltcult of mastery than most others- and when he gets some patients, as he has expectation of doing before long, he will test his theory in a practical way. An incident which occurred the other day confirms him iu his belief that he has hit upon a great principle. A man came into his office in search of some relief from an overmastering lassitude and lack of desire for exertion, and Podgors brought out the accordion and played "Peek-a-Boo" and "Wait Till the Clouds Boll By" to him. Tho sufferer showed manifest agitation while tho first selection was being performed; when Podgors struck into tho socond he began walking tho floor and swinging his arms, and, as the player crowded all of his powers o'f expression into the concluding strain, he knocked tho physician down with a treatise on osteology, and Hod from the house with remarkable irapidity. In view of the evidont success of the treatment Podgers has made out a bill, but for the life of him doesn't know where to send it Boston Journal. A Little Russian's Bath. The little mouschik is taught to be very clean once a week. Tho Bussian creed requires him to bathe every Saturday, and he docs so religiously, but he does not see much water between times, and sleops by night in the clothes he wears by day. Even the Russians of better families content themselves with 0 dry polish instead of a wash. Little Iwan's both would bo a trying thing for au English child. First ho is steamed till he is hulf suffocated in a hole under the stove or iu one of the vapor baths constructed in rude manner in all Russian villages. Then he crawls out, and mother half drowns him with puilfuls of hot water. Then sho roars ice-cold water over him, 01 sends" him out to have a roll in the snow, after which littlo Iwan dresses, with pride, having had all the cleaning ho will got for a week. Canuy.Poli Etiquette. On the occasion of a candy pull each guest should bo furnished with a pair of greased gloves, a white paper cap, and apron. Each lady is expected to take homo with her a quantity of pulled tally. At a late entertainment of this character, down tho center of the supper-table, laden with all manner of good things, huge taffy balls were placed ou steel sticks. Tho balls wore hollow, and in the interior each person found a pretty little nouvenir. Or dinary street dress is tho title a candy ffull8.2Voy JV-6M.
