DETAILS OF THE EXPIRING PATENT The Trunk of Ilio . < jitein Public Property , but All Hrnnclif * .Secure from Trct- ] i.i Tlio Jiuriillnn mill tlio Inventor , The second of the telephone patents granted Alexander Graham Hell expires on Tuesday , the IWtli lust. The patent is oulrlally de scribed as follows : " 'i'no combination , with nn electro-magnet , of a plato ot Iron or steel or other material canablo of Inductive action , which can bo thrown into vibration by the movement of Biirroumllnt'air or by the at traction of a magnet. The formation In an electric telephone of a magnet with a cell L upon the end or ends of the magnet nearest the plato. In combination witli an electric telephone tlio cmploylnp of a speaking or hearing tube for conveying sound , to or from the telephone. " Numerous Important Improvements on the orlplnal telephone are protected by subse quent patents , so that no Immediate relief from the telephone monopoly Is rxpectcil. The Hell company Is reasonably secure for many years to mine , and expectations of re duced tolls hare llttlo foundation to rest on. In one wny the expiration of the Hull pat ents will prove nn advantage to the people. They can buy the Instruments then , a thing which they have never been nblo to do In the past. They can establish llttlo circuits of their own. A man may have a telephone line from his house to his ofllco , o1.1 from his place of business to the place of business of that man with whom he most frequently trailcs. Towns and small cities may even have telephone exchanges in a small way , with from two to 100 subscribers , and all at the smallest expense. Uut they will not bo nolo to connect with any gcncr.il city sys tem without coming In under exactly the t > amo rules which obtain now , and paying tribute us they have In the past. SUCCOSH Attending ill" Hell. It Is an Interesting story this story of the telephone monopoly. In the tirst place Prof. Hell secured March 7. 1870 , a patent on his tclouhono appliancecalled the magneto sys tem , which , while providing specifically for iv transmitter , broadly covered any method whatever by which articulate sounds could bo conveyed by means of clectticily. No one at that time fancied how extensive the competition among Inventors would become. So rare a thing as Prof. Hell's device seemed deserving of all ho had asked. Perhaps ten years later a patent so extensive In its clauses would not have been granted to any investor. Hut that was the beginning of the great battle of Inventors , and thu first man in the Held secured almost anything ho n lrnil. H was not tlio beginning of tlio work of transmitting sound over wire. Harmonious sounds were easily managed before that Hut. to Jiml just tnut delicate instrument which would respond to the challenge of each articulate sound , take it up anil carry it unchniiged over miles of uistanco ; to se cure that adjustment which would not only convey a scries of words audibly from the speaker to the hearer , but would over trans mit that quality which enabled you to recog nise the very voice Of your friend that wns n different matter. Yet when the inventors learned the way alone * which harmonious sounds'could ' travel they hail the key to the gates of articulate speech. Of course there was never a dispute as to the Hell origin of the transmitter. And the patent under which it wns granted wns so broad that they might almost have relied on that to protect them from any rivals in the future. But the magneto transmitter was not n success. Words could bo sent even over miles of wire if nil conditions were favorablo. But words anil wind and count less troubles jarred on the lines at any small provocation and the magneto was not found all that was desired in commercial work. Qiflclc on tlio heels of that first patent came a troop of other inventors. And while their cases were pending the Bull company' , recognizing tlio inefllcieney of its receiving devices , asked for patents on structural plans , which would make the magneto all they hoped for it. It will bo observed this application for subsidiary patents In njnan- ncr confessed their absence In the original blanket patent. And when the rare wns nearly even and other inventors w jro secur ing rights on devices , the Bell attacked them in the courts , relyinp not on us orig inal generous charter , but alleging an in fringement of later acquired rtphts. To this the rival inventors replied tnat the Bell wns unduly protected ; that Its first patent cov ered all its later appliances : that it had no right to claim under both the original and subsequent patents on the same device. Wliy Hellion Wns D re tcil. And these suits hung on for years. The Edison application was lir'.t encountered in the patent ofllco by the Bell , and the latter company instituted what are called Inter ference proceedings to determine which of the two had prior rictus. The Edison was backed up by the Western Union Telegraph company. After n few years the courts sustained the Hell patents and Edison then allowed a decree to bo entered ivithout op position in favor of nn Instrument called the Uerliner , owned and made by the Boll. This controversy had progressed so long that when the dccroo was finally cntoicil the Berliner patents took a lito which v ns valuable. But if the Edison patents had been then upheld they would tir\u run to HKJS. Good patent lawyers believe ono roa- tou the Edison was defeated at that time was because nubile policy would bo best sub served thereby. The Berliner method , which the Edison attacked , could only run to 181U. The Edison success would have in flicted a monopoly half a generation beyond that time. The Brown Telephone company , which of late yours has been the Boll's most vigorous nntaconist , took up the old magneto device , i which tins been free since the expiration of the Bell patent in March last , and supplied it with a device which makes It successful for all manner of long distance uses. It his been tried and found successful over 700 miles of an actual line in New Yorlc , But It tlons not Infringe the battery rights acquired under the later patents. Tlicso rights are now in litigation in a Massachusetts court. Judge H. S. Taylor of Fort Wayne , 1ml. , government counsel In the ease , was seen yesterday , and ho talked freely about the telephone cases. The claim under which thr Berliner method is at tacked In Massacli isotts is that the patent was secured bv fi id. If the covcrnmcnt Is bucccssful , and the patent Is decided void , then any man or companv may build and sell any sort of telephone Instrument which embraces the battery principle employed In the Berliner method. But If thu Bell com pany , which owns the Berliner patents , is successful no now Instruments of n similar nature can bo put In usn for many years , because the Berliner Is the tlrst invention of the b.tttcry telephone , and the claims of tils patent are broad enough to cover any do- vlco of this diameter , though the Issuance of the patent was so long delayed through the contests of other inventors. \VIII Continue to Knlc. There are about eight other patents on auxiliary devices. These are for switches , calling circuits , signals and all that , which uro broadly claimed by the Bell company or the subsidiary companies In which the Bell holds u controlling Interest. And these natonts muat bo declared Invalid or avoided by different devices In order to successfully operate oven private wires. For cscapo in tins dliection the public must inevitably turn to the Brown patents , which utilize the old magneto , uith receiving facilities of their own. But In n largo way the reign of the tele phone monopoly is by no moans affected ami will not bo for ycara. The hold the Hell rompauy has la almost as Etronc now as bo- foio the expiration of the two fundamental patents that tor transmission and Hint for receiving. In the llrsv olaco , to oporuton uront exchange , the Immense switch board is n positive necessity. It Is the ability to bring MX ) or 1,000 subscribers together , so that any ono may Instantly bo put Into com munication vithnuy other one , which makes the Hell so powerful. And lu the perfection of this switch board system so many patented details enter that It will bo Impos sible to avoid them. In the past whrn nn Inventor found enough valuable patents to make profitable the formation of a company It was forced to lllit tlio almost omnipotent UcllorRointo the Boll combination. To do the former meant expensive mid prolonged litigation , with ircsults uncertain. To do the latter meant nt once n surrender to the Bell of 50 per cent of the capital stock nndthr-usoof thu Boll telephones , which Involved n ronUl fee of f 100 n year In small cities , SlfX ) In Chicago , $210 in New York and as much In othsr localities as could be squeezed out of the subscribers. Add this fee In largo cities the places preferred by the Bell- will not bo materially lowered. Of course a man can buy n telephone , nor- Imps for f 10 , and may establish communica tion between his homo and his oflico , or else where. IIo and his friends may even organ- 1 70 n small exchange , where n simple switch board will bo available , and the cost will bo llitht. But It will not be reasonable to ex pect a decided lowering of the rentals In the large exchanges. Perhaps as private lines multiply and as the burden of the telephone monopoly Is shown dally to bo cruelly mid unnecessarily heavy , the rate may bo forced down within n fewyirirs , Perhaps in throe to live i ears tho. Bell may bo compelled , by a growing nmall competition , to reduce its rates to one-half of what they are now. And If to these causes be added the proved success of the Brown s.sstem the re duction may come even quicker. Hut the great Bell monopoly is not yet dead. There nro fortunes still In sight for its stock holders , and no expiration of two or three patents can bo expected to end it. Besides , even If ( ivery patent In its possession were free to the publls tomorrow , and there wcio no legal reason * , why now manufacturers could not mauoand rentorsell switchboards. signals mid all other appliances , the fact re mains thr.t the Bell plant is established. Its machinery Is in .successful and approved operation. No company with twice its capi tal and nil its appliances could hope to com pete with It successfully until in the passage of time Individual succession from Its pat- lonagc would gradually weaken and warn It. Wo could not improve the quality If we paid double the price. DoWitt's Witch Iliuol Salve Is the best saivo that experience can produce , or lliixt money can buy.

"Billy" ' Hurt , the noted poker slmrlc , drifted into u reminiscent mood tlio other cveninpr In San Francisco when some one told him that in a local card- room a straight llunh was * hold in cauh of two games simultaneously In progress. Mr. Hurt proceeded to toll of some ox- tnumlinnry hands and wonderful draw * that ho hid : soon in his experience , which reached from the rudest mining camps of the west to the most luxurious clubs ul London. "When I speak about great draws and big hands I refer , of course , to square prumca , " ho remarked. "Nothing is strange in a crooked game. Kvory man around a table would hold llvo aces if you dciilt thoiu to him , and thure would bo nothing remarkable- about that , but , speaking ot live aces , L know of live aces being held in a square gamo. "In Now Orleans , you know , there is big poker going on every night and there are only gentlemen in thegamo. At the beginning of the game each one takes $500 worth of chips ) . No money overpasses at the table. The game is unlimited. Well , it has a Hmlt-'i,000 , but S"i,000 is about the same as no limit. They always play with two decks of cards , and while one is dealt the other is shnflled ready for the next deal. About two years ago four gentlemen wore playing in the game. One had a straightllusli pat and another hold tlireo aces before the draw. They soon oxlmtiitud their little ? . )00 worth of chips and then hot their thousands. Finally the man with tlireo aces called for the draw. In the draw ho got two more aces making live aces in his hand. Ho showed his hand right away , saying there was evidently a mistake in the deck. Tlio man with the straight llnsh claimed the money. Then the two loft the decision to the other gentlemen about the table , and the referees de cided the bets olT. By a mistake the extra ace had been shifted frompno deck into the other. Now , perhaps it wasn't very remarkable that one card should got into the wrong deck , but think of that ace baing next another ace , and that thcbc two aces should be dealt to a man who already had thrco aces in his hand. All over the south that hand is famous. Snmo r.onci Manila Ileuton. "Once I was playing in a game in the Russ IIOIHO in this city. " continued Mr. Hurt. "I borrowed $500 to get into the game , by the way. One time when I w as dealing a man across the table had aces up and I held a king full on queens. I know what lie had and 1 know there was another ace right at the bottom of the pack. ' ' "L thought yon wore telling us only about sqna"o games , Hilly1 interrupted an Examiner reporter. ' Well , the draw was i-qunre , ' ' answered HUi-t. " 1 know what ho had before the draw and I knew uhere a third ace lay in t he deck. 1 did not know what card I gave him when ho called for one. Now you know a man might play 100 years and not hand out that lonesome fourth ace right from the top of the pack. Well , that was where the fourth ace lay , and the follow with his ace full of course broke mo with my king full. That was as remarkable a draw as ever occurred. I know the position of three of the aces and the card ho drew was the fourth , to which I had paid no attention , because the chance that he would not got it was sufliciont for mo to hot against. Do yon know , the man who loaned mo that 8300 thought 1 purposely played away his money and then divided with the other follow. I guess ho thinks so to this day , but I toll yon , boys , I was a good deal more surprised than ho was when I saw that ace full spread out on the table. "I hold four tons pat in a game I was j > laying in at Sioux City , " continued Mr. Hurt , as some one asked him his high est hand that over was beaten. "One of the men playing was very drunk. Ho had been pluiniing all the time , hotting high whether ho had anything or not. I was waiting for a big _ hand , because I know that as soon as it came I eonld break him. My four tens came just at the right timo. There was a jackpot and I had the first say. 1 opened it gently , say for $25 , because I know the drunken follow would coma back nt me. Ho did with a big raise. I just called him , because I wanted moro play after the draw , and ho was Hiiro to bet every thing ho had. I looked over my hand slowly , as though in deep thought , and then called for one card. 'I'll draw to the strength of my hand ; gi mo tlireo , ' said the other follow. Then 1 made a heavy bet and he came at mo harder. Wo kept at each other back and forth until all his money was on the table. I showed down my four tons. Ho skinned out four queens !

"I saw a sqnaro hand win in a crooked game in a club house in LJutto City , Morjt. , if yon insist upon something about crooked games when I wont to tell you about square games. There were live men playing. Two of them wore in together to do up another two , but they did not want to take anything from the fifth fellow , who was a kind of friend of theirs , though ho did not know there was anything wrong about the game. Ono of the two who were doing tlio crooked work rung in a cold dc-ek and ho dealt great hands to the two fol lows who were to bo skinned. Ono was four nines , I think , and the other a jack full. IIo was careful to glvo no pair to the man ho wanted to befriend and ho dealt his partner the winning hand. IIo thought it was the winning hand. Well , to the surpribo of the men who hud put up the cold deck , the fifth follow with no pair stayed right in and saw every raise. They didn't ' dare kick him or wink at him , bo ho piled his inonev in with the rest. In the draw ho took a card and then ho was raising moro than anybody else around the table. There was $ : tiiOO in the pot at the show-down and the fellow that had no pair won it all. The man that flxod the deck had paid no attention to suits ; ho was lookIng - Ing out only for pairs and threes and fours. He dealt the fifth man a four straight of clubs and the ono card ho drew made a straight Hush. "Tho l osi , draw I over BUW was in Olympia during a ecsiiion of the Wash ington legislature.

Ho wai going to throw away the bunch and call lor five cards when ho noticed tlmritP hold tlio nine and ten of clulw. 'I'll draw to a straight Hush ; glvo me tlireo , ' said he , and , do you know , the thrco cards that came to him were all nines. Of courio he then had four nines and ho drew in the pot.
