Professor Sargent of Harvard says re- garding athletics in the North American Review: Many young men scem to think that because the practice of athletics is favcrable to health, the more they can get of this practice the better. This is an er- roneous ircprecsion, for it 1s as possible to overwork in athletics as it is in business, and & great many young people do them- selves injury by their excessive zeal in the practice of competitive exercise. In this line of physical activity, as in any other, there Is a mit to human capability, and it is possible to develop the muscular and nervous systems to the detriment of the heart and lungs or of the digestive sys- tem. But the conditions under which ath- letics are usually practiced are so favorable to the maintenance of health and vigor that few persons who were sound at the time of commencing their athletic efforts have injured themselves hy the practice of these vigorous exercises. It is true that a certain number of young men who were athletic events have died young. But the number of young men who are now prac- ticing athletic exercises in this country and appearing in public contests is very large, as mary as 600 or 700 entries being record- ed in some of the great city meetings.

CHARGES..OF FRAUD Allegations Mad) “Against a Well Known:Patent Attorney. aida as JOHN WEDDERBURN 10 SHOW CAUSE Some of the Statements in Mr. Nae Buttérworth’s Order. THE OTHER SIDE Commissioner of Patents Butterworth has ordered the patent firm of Wedderburn & Co. of this city to show cause why they should not be disbarred from practice be- fore the paient office because of fraud. The commissioner of patents recites the statements contained in a circular, entitled “New Departure,” distributed by Wedder- burn & Co., and that it has come to the knowiedge of the commissioner of patents that the firm in the prosecution. of its busi- ness is often employed by Clients to make searches of the records of the office. and that it Is the practice of the corporation not to make bona fide, conscientious, prop- er or complete searches as are contcm- plated by the clients and as are ordinarily made by attorneys or solicitors of pat- ents. It is further recited’ that it ts the practice of the corporation, either willfully or by reason of gross or inexcusable negligence, to make false, fraduient, deceptive, im- proper or incomplete searches or examina- tions as to the patent ability of various in- ventions or designs with intent to defraud to the scandal and reproach of the patent office. The company is charged with ad- vising clients that inventions are patena- ble, when it is in many cases “evident that no examination was made or that the ex- amination, {f made, was not thorough, but willfuliy, or by reason of gross or inex- cusable negligence and in violation of the agreement made, incomplete, false and de- ceptive and not such as was contemplated by the sald persons or clients.” It is also charged that the company has circulated advertisements “intended to in- cite the persons ty whom they are sent to imagine and beicve that ciany of the minor arts of cormmon civilized life are untried fields for invento: hereas you, the said corporation, welt know, or should well know, that such arts are common and familiar fields of invention, and° furt ver that the said persons to whom such circu- lars are sent are aus led to conceive and inventions relative to such arts and for patents fur such inventions, in fact, others have obtained previous patents for the same inventions; and the ssid persons are also induced by promises and offers of medals and prizes circulars, advertise- ‘0 make unpatentable s and to apply far such invention the said John Wedderburn nany, cr you, the said John Wecder- S$ agents or agent.” also charged that the company has advised inventors that their inventious have been very valuable anc that good money could be mude out of the same if properly handled. When, jn fact, they have been without Salud, and were | kno or should have been Ithown, by the corpor: nto be so.

Mr. John Wedderburn was seen by a Star reporter in refdfendée to the charges made against him, and sald that they were the outcome of jealousy.on the part of patent attorneys whose business had been seriou: ly diminished by the immense growth of the company of which he is the president. He said that he had in preparation an answer to all the charges which would ccempletély refute them. He sald that some of the foremost patent attorneys are con- nected with his company at large salaries and that thelr work is done in a most thorough manner. He remarked that 1 order to protect themselves and their busi ness, the patent attorneys of this city had combined to break down his company in every way possible merely because his en- terprise was taking their business from them. Last year he said the business of his company amounted to $327,000, having grown from $58,000, which was the amount of business done in the previous year. He said that last year he had built an ex- ve addition in the rear of his office building, on F street between Gth and 7th streets, to accommodate employes of his company, but that when it was completed he was still so crowded for room as to make it necessary to rent the whele or parts of three neighboring buildings. burn remarked that he is now employing 300 people in the patent bus: . The suc- cess Indicated by this growth, he said, was the bone of contention among patent attor- neys in this city. He-had expended in the last year $125,000 in advertising his business in every newspaper in the United States, and he thought that the proper thing for other patent attorneys to do was to adopt enterprising methods to build up their own businesses, instead of trying to pull his down. In regard to the Sulzer letter, Mr. Wedderburn said that he had that letter in his possession, and that the only way he could account for Mr. Sulzer’s statement that he had not written it was that Mr. Sulzer had forgotten having written it. Mr. Wedderburn concluded by saying that by the time the patent office got through with his case it would discover that it had launched upon an investigation of the pat- ent office rather than an investigation into his affairs. ments, or pamphlets inventi through yt & Cox ioner should to recognize the said agents in accordance if’ such case made and Mr. Wedder- ——.__ MAKING AN INSPECTION. Improvements Authorized by B. and 0. Receivers Being Reviewed. Mr. 8. M. Felton, president and receiver of the Queen and Crescent route, which is one of the lines closely affiliated with the Southern Railway Company, is now making a thorough inspection of the im- provements perfected on the Baltimore and Ohio line, as ordered by the receivers, since they tcok charge of the property, and the incident has given rise to a good deal of talk among railroad men. It is impossible to ascertain in just what interest the inspection is being made, whether that of the Baltimore reorganiza- tion committee of the Baltimore and Ohio or the New York committee, and by some it is asserted that the house of J. P. Mor- gan & Co. of New York has become asso- ciated with the Baltimore stockholders in their desire to reach the bottom facts re- garding the financial condition of the Bal- timore and Ohid, and to form plans of re- organization aceordingly. It is pretty well known, it is sata, among bankers who age jaterested in Baltimore and Ohio stocks that Mr. Morgan's house is dissatisfied with ;the way the road has been managed «for a long time past, and some time since the Morgan financiers de- clined to aid the rged in any manner, un- less several gentlgmen yery prominently connected with the sompany’s affairs would withdraw therefrom. This step has ~20t,yet been taken by the gentlemen refqrred ;to, and the apparent renewal of interest In the matter by Mr. Morgan cannot_as yet be clearly explain- ed. It is reported, however, that serious misunderstand: yas arisen among the members of thé Nt York reorganization committee of the B. and O. in regard to the policy of the eivers in expending such great surfs have been authorized to develop the property. It is generally believed that no steps will be taken to reorganize the property for at least two years, and the fact that bonds of the Winchester and Potomac Company, for which the B. and O. is guar- antor, and which are due July 1, have been extended for two years is taken to mean that it is not deemed advisable to calculate upon a reorganization of the B. and O. during that period. ‘The question of the {ssuance of more re- celver’s certificates, for which application was made by Measrs. Cowen and Murray to the United States court at Baltimore recently, has been referred to a master to take testimony on the subject, and he is expected to report favorably in the course of a few days, a& several of the general officers of the company have made affidavit that the improvements proposed to be paid for by the tes are necessary. C. T YERKES’ LATEST DEAL| The Busy Corner, Will Manufacture Street Railway Equip- Siemens-Haskell Electric Company Consolidated With Pennsylvania Iron Works for the Purpose. CHICAGO, June 24.—The Times-Herald says: The long-cherished plan of Charles T. Yerkes, the street railway magnate, to manufacture all machinery needed by street railroads in Chicago, New York, Philadel- phia and Pittsburg has at last been real- ized. The Siemens-Haskell Electric Company, with its big factory in Chicago, ts now be- ing consolidated with the Pennsylvania Iron Works of Philadelphia. A majority of the stock of the Chicago company has al- ready been exchanged for the stock of the Pennsylvania. The minority stockholders have been given sixty days in which to accept the offer af the eastern concern. With a combined capital of $3,250,000, the two companies will manufacture street railway machinery for the four big cities. ‘The first move of the projected consolida- tion of the two companies was gleaned from. the results of the annual meeting of the Chicago concern. The directors elected at that meeting wero as follows: Charies T. Yerkes, Chicago; W. L. El- kins, jr., Philadelphia; R. Suydam Grant, New York; Charles E. Yerkes, Chicago; B. W. Grist, Philadelphia; F. W. Whit- ridge, New York; W. T. Butler, New York; E. T. Rice, jr., New York; Martin Maloney, Philadelphia. The new directors are C. T. Yerkes, W. L. Elkins, jr., and B. W. Grist. Mr. Elkins is the son of W. L. Elkins, sr., of Philadeiphia. The directors then select- ed a set of officers, headed by Charles E. Yerkes, a son of Charles T. Yerkes of Chi- cago. Whether the name of the Chicago con- cern will be dropped or changed has not yet been decided. The entrance of the big street raflroad combinations of New York, Fhiladelpnia and Pittsburg into the field of street railroad manufacture will cut a tre- mendous figure with the electric companies, it is said, that have practically had-a mo- nopoly of supplying machinery for the rail- ways. By the consolidation of the com- panies Mr. Yerkes and his colleagues will be able to manufacture electric machinery at the lowest cost, and will have the con- tracts from all the big street car companies in the country filled in Chicago. ——— MEET AN OXFORD ELEV Gentlemen of Philadelphia Begin a Cricket. Match on London Oval. LONDON, June 24.—At the oval today the gentlemen of Philadelphia began a cricket match against an eleven repre- senting Oxford, past and present.

Two wickets for 43 runs. The third wicket of the home team went down for #4 runs, when Eccles was bowled by Bates for 24 rurs. At lunchtime the Oxford score was 133 runs for three wickets.

PROMPT ATTENTION. S. Kann,Sons & Co.., bth and Market Space, A NEW WHIST LEAGUE Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington Represented. It Will Be Known as the Atlantic As- sociation—Preparing for Pat-in- Bay—Local Club Gossip. The representatives of the clubs from Baltimere. Wilmington, Washington, Eas- ton, with those “of the Philadelphia clubs, met at Philadelphia recently and organized the Atlantic Whist Association as an aux- ililary to the American Whist League. Dr. Joseph Neff of Philadelphia was chosen president; Thormas A. Whelan of Balti- more, Ist vice president. ‘The directors chose: were Jules T. Wooten. Capt. Prince of Weshington, Beverly Smith of the Wal- brook ciub and several members of the Philadelphia club. This association pro- pores to compete fer the auxiliary prize at Put-in-Bay, and have already notified all teams to report for play Monday after- | neon, July 5. The overcrowding of the National Whist ' League has made it necessary to form auxiliaries. New England, New Jersey and New York have already formed leagues, and have Lad considerable practice among themselves. The Atlantic Association will be cf the greatest benefit to Washington and Baltimore, and already the designs for handsome prizes have been selected for competition between the clubs of these cities. It is to be regretted that Richmond was not included, as new clubs are form- ing, and whist wevld receive a great stim- ulus at Virginia’s capital. The whist committee of the Capital Bi. Club have notified the players selected to represent the club et Put-in-Bay. This club has two tears, and either team would do the club justice, as they are both strong. If the clubs-of Washington will put up such whist as they did against the Baltimore and Walbrock in their last con- test, tney will be in the finals with a good prospect of winning out. These two clubs rely on no conventional rules. They play the hands as they find them, and will not be robbed of their individuality by rules fermulated by writers whom they would not select as pertners where much was at stake. Their intelligent aandling of trumps is their ambition, as they consider it the strongest play of an expert. The judicious throwing of the lead will be quite a factor of their game, and the play of ace or king second-hand with three or four guards when trumps are out against them, and an established suit also, will be care- fully considered. To say the clans were gathering would give little idea of the excitement in club Circles ovex this annual event.. Many of the stay-at-homes will pick up their rules and study out hands and register a vow they will be in the next contest, and the experts will have te be on the alert or they will be laid aside to make room for abier The play of Capt. Prince has years of the highest order, and his love 0’ the game (which is all-cssential to a good player), card sense and his ability to team with any other players make him eligible for championsh‘p whist. “Uncle Nick” Young has been playing strong whist of late, and his showing in the last Baltimore and Washington contest with Capt. Prince as a partner was highly credit able, making a higher score than many of the cracks. Austin is apother player of merit and is a partner who can always be relied upon for straight whist. He was on the winning four of the team match at the club last Wed- ynesday. Parker is giving close attention to the game and played strong whist throughout the eighteen boards last Wednesday night. The score of the three teams was as fol- lows: Low & Kerr. Fogg & Parker, Daceeose saoesr qos ‘ cm +3 4 Br 1 Coit” Selden is another strong player, a good locater of the cards, an expert at double dummy, a good whist and chest analyist, and though knowing the rules does his own thinking when he faces his partner in a contest. Mr. Rines of the Elsmcre is one of the strongest players in the club, a close read- er of the cards and a dangerous opponent on your right, leading through strengtn with great judgment. He has had more op- portunities for diversified playing than has fallen to the lot of most club men, and is a good mixer and wili strengthen any team m_the city. There will be many chances for the younger pleyers in the Atlantic auxiliary contests, as teams of twelve, sixteen, twen- ty and twenty-four will be lined up against each other, and tournament playing brings out the strong points, such as steady nerves and an ability to cope with whist strategists. Every afternoon and night from now on until the 3d of July will find the experts mapping out a line of play that will prove most successful, and only the oracle can tell who will be the victors. The west until last year has been to the front at the finish and has carried off most of the trophies, though its strongest team, Minneapolis, went down before Albany for the Hamil- ton trophy last winter. _—— Both Are Still at Large.
