To the Inventor the nil Important question
presents Itself , "How MU 1 socuron pniontl'1
and to this Tin : UEK Bureau oftcw the fol
lowing oxplanatiou :
Inventors as n class are not familiar with
the laws under which lottcri patent are
granted , the forms nnd praotlco In the patent
onica nt U'mhlneton and the lochulcal
methods nf casting specifications and claims
to properly protect their Invention ! against
Infrmgors , yet Iho value of the patent and
even Us validity depend largely upon the
careful and export preparation of the caso.
Specifications must bo drawn to fully dls-
nloso tbo Invention , to distinguish between
what U now and what Is old , and claims ,
upon which the vuluo and validity of the
patent depend , must bo cast to fully cover
the Invention yet not to encroach upon pat
ents already granted , Failure In either of
those rospouls often renders tha patent value
less or void , The employment of counsel
skilled In patent law u therefore usually a
prercqulslto to the proper prosecution of a
case and a grant of a valuable patent.
Many Inventors suffer the loss of benefits
that should bb dorlvod from valuable Inven
tions owing to Insufllolonl protection by pat-
cls procured through Incompetent or care

tors patent nro granted to any porsou who
has Invented or dUeovoroJ any now and us'o

Improvement thoroon.
Term ill Patent.
A patent is granted for seventeen yours ,
during which time the owner has solo and
exclusive right to make , tno and soil thb
patcnlcd invention.
How tu I'roccril.
For economic reasons before matting ap
plication to the patent ofllco for a ualont ,
the novelty and patentability of the inven
tion should bo ascertained , because , If tbo
Invention is not now or not patontablo an
uuucce.ssary expense is incurred by tiling an
application on whica a pit tent can never bo
granted , etc.
The first tlilug to bo drao U to find out
whether or not tbo Invention is now and
palcntablo.
For advice on the point it is necessary to
send to the bureau a rouirh or complete
sketch or a photograph of the invention , to
gether with a brief description thereof ,
setting lorth the object o ? the improve
ments , the arrangement of the parts and
the advantages attained. While n model is
very seldom neceisnry , yet it is often of
great assistance. The latter can bn made of
any cheap material , at.d will bo roturiibd if n
request i i muilu to that pfect. ! _
Upon receipt of the 'daia mentioned suffic
ient to unnblo the invention to UQ understood
our counsel will at once examine thereinto ,
and will advise- without charge what is the
best course to pursue andVill express un
opinion , from their knowledge ; , of the arts
and patents already gcantod , asTo the patent
ability of lhoIiivenlion. .
In this co iiQctionJitlsreconiinondod that
tbo best und safest course is to have a
special search made In the patent olllco to
ascertain whether or not tb9.lnycn'10n has
been hcretuforo patented. ' Tfio oiivant'a'gd of
such n search is that If no anticipating patent
is discovered llm application can bo Hied with
n greater decree of co tainty. whereas 'if the
invention is found to bo old all further ex
pense is avoided. Tbo cost of a search of
this nature Is $5 , and with the report of the
result thereof the inventor will bo furnished
with copies of such patents , If any , ns cm-
hrnco IIH ideas. It is much better to have
this search tnado in the outset before inc ur
ring any oxpcnsu whatever regarding the an
plication for patent. .
If it is louiid that , ho Invention u n ow acd
palcntablo the client is ud vised to proceed
with thoflliuKof tyi application for patent ,
and will then bo requested to romtt $15
to cover tbo lirst government leo and
fo in payment of cost of drawing , when ono
is necessary. As soon as posiiblo after the
receipt , of this icmittanco Iho specification of
Hie invention will bo carefully prepared
mid forwarded lolho Inventor , together with
forms for application for patent ready for
execution. Upon return of tha latter the case
will On promptly ( lied at the patent ofllco and
notice will bo sent when action is had.tbero-
on , und also of the nature ofsuch action.
The examining corps of tho1 patent ofllco is
divided into thirty-two divisions , among
which the applications are. divided according
to the odlciul classification. , .The condition of ,
the work in the various divisions varies Irom
ono to live months in arrears. -

A patent for a design is granted to any
person who has invented or procured , any

such cases Is usually $ ' " > .
Itolxunrt.
A patent can bo reissued whenever iho
same Is inoperative or invalid by reason of a
defective or Insufficient specification , or by
reason of the patentee's claiming more than
ho hail a right to claim as new , providing the
crier has arisen by accident , mistake , or in-
advcrtuuco , ana without fraudulent intent.
The government fco for a reissue Is f.JO. The
cost of drawing is $ . > , and the bureau charge
is usually fJJ. Great care must bo oxciclsed
in reissuing u patent , because very often
what llttlo validity thorn may bo in a defec
tive patent is entirely lost by procuring a ro-
bsuo which is totally invalid.
Iti'Jri-lfd t'luiM.
Tlioro are In Uio patent ofllco u gre.it' many

ington , to make the examiner see tbo inven
tion In Iu true light ; and then , again , as
often occurs , cases are rejected on improper
or insufficient grounds. When so requested
wo will bavo our counsel examine into any
such CUSP free of charge and advise as to the
prospects for suecoss by further prosecution ,
1'ho client will also ba then Informed of the
probable cost of completion ,

Interferences.
An Interference Is a Judicial proceeding In
stituted under the direction of the commis
sioner of patents to enable him to do-
termlno the question of priority of
Invention between rival claimants. The
bureau , recognizing- fact that extraor
dinary care and skill are requisite on the
part of nu attorney in charge of acasa , In interference -
torforonco , has nt Its command cotlnsol nro-
pared to conduct. a case in Interference from
the very Inception down to n final determina
tion of the merits of the cause. Testimony
will also bo talton under our direction iu any
part of the United States. While no specific
sum can bn sot down ns applicable to nil In
terference cases alike , yet the charge } will
nhvaj.s bo as reasonable us possible.
Infringements.
The question whether or uot ono patent In
fringes another is the very soul of all patent
lltlgnlion. Tha questions involved nro many ,
and of the most intricalo nature. It is al
ways n matter of such great Importance ! that
'no ono should over claim that another Is liv-
friniring on his rlebus , or , likewise , no atten
tion should bo paid to the claims of infringe
ment by others until the questions Involved
nro carefully passed upon by n reliable at-
toruoy. Tor such services the charges are
nw ays fair and reasonable.

LONDONFob. . 12. Until Mr. Balfour In-
traduces the Irish local government bill on
Thursday next the proceedings in Parlia
ment will bo moro party skirmishing. Many
members will not appear until the leader In
the House of Commons explains the nnluro
of the measure in wbtcb the govornracnt U
expected to appeal to the country. Though
tbo ministers decline to .satisfy politicians
who crave to know the gist of the Irish pro
posals the draft of tha bill , which is now In
typo , ts known to contain a host of clauses
VlvnlluB In complexity Mr. Baltour's land
aot.
aot.A
A high Informant describes It as , Iu sub
stance , an application of the English county
council net without adhering strictly to ex
isting county areas , with a view lo protect
iho minority , that Is the conservative
strength. In districts where the national
vote is too strong , arbitrary doctoral bound
aries are created. As in England , throo-
fourths of the members of each council are to
booloctod by the ratepayers , a portion of "tho
rest by tbo councilors and a certain
number by the Irish executive.
The councils ura to have control
of the local police , oxreptlng the appoint
ment of the chief constables , tbo control of
licensing , administration of the poor law ,
asylUms , Industrial schools and prisons , ex
cepting state government prisons nnd roads
and publlo works. The Imperial pollco are to
bo maintained In n loss force.
To Dc'prlvo the Prlrsls of I'mvor.
As an appendix to the bill is another measure
uro transferring Irish private laud business ,
now heard nt Westmlnslor , to the local
councils. A conference of Irish landlords re-
'rcnlly sent to Mr. Balfour. through the duke
ofAborcorn , a demand that clergymen bo
excluded from county boards , the aim being
lo doprlvn tire priests of their infiunnco.
Mr. Gladstone tonight wired that ho would
reappear iu the House of Commons on the
2'Jiul lust , iu time for the debute ou iho sec-
dad reading : of ibo measure. The Irish load
ers of both groups declare their voadinoss to
adopt what they ran of Mr. Botfonr's pro
posals , but they also concur that the bill will
bo found in the main impossible of accept
ance.
ance.A'n early result of the combined attack of
this bill will bo the reunion of tha Irish party ,
when both groups will co-operulo for.a com
mon end , and factions will disappear.
'iho decision of the Parnolllto section not
lo appoint a recognized lender shows that
they fuel that 'ho ' tlmo for reunion Is near.

Mrs. Joseph Chamberlain , duku of Devon
shire , and a host of persons of high rank and
tillo wcro in the gallery of the House of
Commons yesterday evening to hoar Mr.
Chamberlain , who achieved a distinct tri
umph in his brilliant arraignment of the lib
erals. The pungency of" his attacks drew
fro'quent cheers from the conservatives. Ills
allusion lo the alllanco balwcon the McCar-
thyitcs niltt the Gladstonians scorned to delighT -
lighT the llttlo band of Parnellltes.
Hon. Sir William Vernon Harjourt'schargo
that Lord Salisbury's Exeter spoocu was nn
insult lo 'Catholics was most effocltvu. Mr.
Chambqrlnin quoted a passage from Mr.
Gladstono's writings which says ! "To secure -
cure rights is the aim of Christian civllua-
tlon ; to destroy thorn and establish the re
sistless domineering action of a purely
central power , is the aim of tha lioninn
policy. "
Mr. Chamberlain also quoted a similar
passage from Mr , Morley's writings. Then
uo asked , "is it not strange that tbo Glad
stonians may steal a horse when we cannot
look over tbo bodge i"
Mr. Money , In his reply , did not add to his
reputation , ins speech was angry in tone ,
nnd ho wus evidently unprepared for the at
tack. Ho made some good points in the curly
part of Ins speech , "but soon dropped nil and
was confused. Wbllo ho was speaking the
number of members in the h'ouso gradually
dwindled.

HOW SHALL IT BE DIVIDED

An unharmonlous ntul dUcordant mo.
mooting of the Sixth ward citizens was hold
last night at Twenty-sixth and Lake strcots.
The meeting was hold to consider the advis
ability of the division of the Sixth wnrJ.
Three different factions were at the moot-
lug , The northsldors wnnlod the ward di
vided east und west and the wcstsldorj da-
sired the division to the north and south. As
it result of this conflict the factions were
wrangling the entire session.
A committee , composed of Frank Spore , F.
W. Filch mid A. T. Hays , to which the matter -
tor of dividing the ward had bcon referred ,
made a report to Jndeo G. W. Ambrose , the
chairman , nnd the members of the ward club ,
recommending the division bo mi Jo , com
mencing at Twentieth street running weston
V
on Sueneor to Thirty-first , tlionco soulh to
Mnplo , ihotico west on Maple to the city lim
its , dividing the ward by a line miming east
and west.
The reading cf this report created a fac-
lioiial light , and the different sections of the
ward ijol Into n wrangle. Amendments and
substitutes were offered. Some wanted the
line to extend to Thirty-third and others to
Thirty-sixth ntreot , and tharo thov woro.
As to the division , population , improve
ments nnd counellmtuilu representation
were discussed. Tno north end people
plo said It the ward was divided by a lluo
running north and south they would bo In a
hopeless minority and could got no Improve
ments.
Alisnlutoly Xrrossary.
Frank Spore said iho division was not
only necessary , but almost compulsory. At
present the Sixth ward covered too much
territory , nnd by n division moro public Im
provements could bo procured In both the
north and west sections. Each man repre
senting a different portion of the ward hud n
vigorous kick coming on account of his sec
tion not gelling any Improvements.
Leaving the chair , Judge Ambrose said ho
was there In the Intcrosl of no party or fnc
lion , but for the bonoMt of the pcoplo in the
ward. Ho was well aware ot the fact that
tbo ward was too lurso , but when they
talked of a division of the Sixth , ho said ,
they were wasting their breath. The ward
could not bo satisfactorily divided , The
thing to do was to take tbo Fifth , Sixth and
Eighth , and from these three make an addi
tional ward. The Fifth and Eighth were too
small , while the Sixth was too largo. Hy ro-
districtlng the three ono good ward oould ba
created.
"Exerclso a llttlo common sense , " said tlio
Judge , "and then you will bo able to accom
plish something. "
Attorney Fitch thought that in the dlvls
ion of tbo ward politics should not bo consid
ered. Ho believed it was for the best inter
ests of the pcoplo to have wards to make it
convenient for them lo vote without having
to go three or four miles to cast n ballot. All
the ideas about improvements , ho thought ,
were selfish , wbilo on the contrary othur
matters should bo considered.
Tabled iliu K ( < rmrt.
After moro prolonged wrangling and jang
ling some wlso individual made n motion to
table the wuolo matter Indufinltoly , and with
a hurrah it was dono.
Notwithstanding this notion K. J. Burgess
introduced a resolution to the olTcct that tlio
division of Iho ward and improvements
therein bo referred to the councilman of tha
ward , together with a committee of live , wco
would have power to act in Mia mailer. The
chairman tberoforo Appointed the oommlttoo
of live. It consists of Messrs. Burgejs , Mas-
sick , Patrick , Oxford and Ambrose.

Wbon this was disposed of n scurrilous resolution
elution was introduced by ono Wilson cen
suring the city council nnd condemning the
editor of TUB TIER , and others on the
question asicing other proposals to
be made for property suitable for porks.
The resolution was qullo lengthy and referred -
ferrod to a measure adopted recently by tha
city council asking far offers on property
with a view of selecting and purchasing

slst any attempt to foist upon the city for
park purposes property that Is inaccessible
and othoruiso unsuitable. "
