When the train came to o standstill two masked men cntered tno ex- press car and ordered the oceupants to hold up their hands, keeping them covered with revolvers while the train traveled twolve wiles to Lamar. The robvers rvifled tho pockets of the trainmen, taking £i5 from Baggageman Hull, and some from [xpress Messenger Houck and Traveling Passenger Agent Barretr, of the Missonri Pacific, who had gono to the express car to escape annoy- ance by the mob of iynchers in the rear cars.

Directious to Inventors Issned by The Bee Bureau of Claims, METHODS OF THE PATENT OFFICE, The Course Followe ! by the Author of an Tavention t ot His Rights —Costs of Obtaining » Patent, Pr To the Inventor the all important question presents Itself, “How can I securoa patent and to this T e Bureau offers the fol- lowing explanation Inventors as’a class are not familiar with the laws under which lotters phtent are grauted, the forms and practice in the patent office at Washington and tha tochnical mothods of casting specifications and claims to proporly protect their inventions against infringers, yet the value of tho patent and evon its valiaity depend largely upon the caroful and oxport preparation of tho case, ificatious must be drawn to fully dis- close tho invention, to distinguish b etweo what s now and what is old, and claims, upon which the value and validity of the patent depend, must bo cast to fully cover the invention yet not to encronch upon pat- ents already granted. [Pailure in either of these respects often renders the patent valug- less orvoid. The employment of counsel skilled in patent law 1s therefore usually a preroquisita to the proper prosecution of a case and a graut of o valuable patont. Many inventors suffer the loss of benefits that should be dorived from valuable inven- tions owing to insuflicient protection by pat- ets procured through incompetent or eare- less agents, etc. e What Granted, Under the laws of the Uuited States lot- ters patemt are granted toany porson who has invented or discovered any new and use ful ari, machine, manufacture or composition of matter, ot has invented any new ov useful improvement thereon. Term of Patent, A patent is granted for seventeen years, during which time the owner has sole and exclusive right to make, use and sell tho patented invention, How to T For economic reasons befors making ap- plication to the pateut oftice for a patent, the novelty and patentability of the inven- tion should be ascertained, because, if the invention is not new or not patentalle an unnecessory expense is incurred by filing an application on which a patent can never be granted, etc. The first thing to be done is to find out whether or not the invention is new and patentable. For advice on the point it is necessary to send to the burcau a rough or complete oteh or a_photograph of the invention, to- gether with a brief description thereof, setting forth the object of the improve- ments, the arrangement of the parts and the advantages attained. While a modei is very seldom necessary, yet 1t is often of great assistance. The latter can be made ot any cheap material, ard will be returned 1f a request is made to that effect. Upou receipt of the data mentioned suffic- ientto enable the invention to be understood our counsel will at_once examine thereinto, and will advise without charge what is the best course to pursue and will express an opinion, from their kuowledgo of the arts and patents alveady geanted, as to the patent- ability of the invention. In this conuection it is recommended that the best uud safest course is- to have a special search made in the patent office to ascertain whether or not the invention has been heretufore patented, ‘The advantage of such a search is that if noanticipating patent is discovered the application can be tiled with « greater decree of cortainty, wheroas if the nvention is found to be old all further ex- pense is avoided. The costof a scarch of this natuve is &, and with the report of the result thereof the inventor will be furnished with copies of such patents, if any, as em- trace his ideas. It is much better to have this search made in the outset before incur ring any expense whatever regarding the ap plication for patent. 1f1t1s found that he inven tion is new ard patentable the clieat1s advised to procead with the filing of an application for patent, and will then bo requested to remit $15 to cover the first government feo and £ in payment of cost of drawing, when one is necessary, As soon as possible after the receipt of this remittance the specitication of the invention will be carefully prepared and forwarded to the inventor, together with forms for application for patent ready for execution. Upon return of the latter tho case will be promptly filed at the patent oftico and notice will be seut when action is had there- on, and also of the nature of such action. T'he examining corps of the patent ofiice is divided into thirty-two divisions, among which the applications are divided according to the ofticial classitication. The conditioun of the work in the various divisions varies trom one to five months in arrears The Bureau Charges, Consistent with the spirit with which this oureau was formed, it is not intended to conduct any branch of tho business on a money making basis, but it is proposed to do the work as near the actual costas will pro- tect the business from loss. Although counsel are retained at heavy expense to the bureau, yet it is the wish to charge in ordinary cases only the minimum fee of #5, However, in cases requiring extra care, time and labor the fee will be nroportionately increased, but clients will always be advised in advance should such increase of fee be found neces- sary. In directing inquiries please mention the fact that you read these instructious in Tue Bee, oceed. Design Patents, A patent for a design is granted to any person who 1 invented or procured any new and original design for the printing of woolen, silk, cotton or other fabrics; any new and original impression, ornament, pat- tern, print or picture to be printed, painted, cust or otherwise placed on or worked into any articie of manufacture; or any uow, useful and original shape or configuration of any article of manufacture, the same not haviug been known or d by others before his invention or production thereof, or pat- outed or described in any printed publica- tion. Patents for designs aro grantea for the term of three and one-half years, the governmeut fee being $10; or for seven vears, the fee beiug $15; or for fourteen years, the fee being $30, I'ne charge of the bureyu in such cases is usually & Reissues, A patent can be reissued whenever tho samo Is inoperative or 1uvalid by reason of a defective or insuficient specification, or by reason of the patentee's claiming more than be bad a right to claim as new, providing the errvor bas arisen by accident, mistake or in- advertonce, ana without fraudulent intent, ‘The government fee for a reissue is 830, The cost of drawing is #5, and the bureau charge is usually 345, (ireat care must be exercised in reissuing @ patent, because very often what little vahdity there may be in a defec- tive patent is entirely lost by procuring a re- ssue which is totally invalid. Rejected Cases, ‘There are in the patent office a great many cases which stand rejected, but which should be allowed. This condition of the case may be ane either to incompetency 0a the part of the attorney employed or his inability, be- cause of residence elsewhere than in Wash- ington, 1o make the examiuer see the inveu tiou in its true light; and then, again, as often oceurs, vases aro rejected on ' improper or insufticient grounds. beu 80 requested we will bave our counsel examine into any such case free of charge aud adyise as Lo the Jospects for uccons by further prosecution.

Inter nees, Aa intorference is a judicial proceeding in- stituted under the direction of the commis- sioner of patents to enable him to de- termine the question of priority of invention botween rival claimants. = The bureau, recognizing the fact that extraor- dinary’ caro and skill are roquisite on the part of an attorney in charge of a case in in- terference, has at its command counsel pre- pared to conduct a case in interferenco from tho very inception down to a final determina- tion of tho merits of the cause. Testimony will also bo taken under our_direction in any part of the United States. While no speeific suin can bo sot down as applicable to all jn- terference cases alike, yot tho charges will always be as reasonablous possible. Iufringements, he question whether or not one patent in- fringes another is the very soul of all patent litigation. The questions involved are many, and of the most intricate uature. It 1s al- ways & matter of such great importance that 0 one should ever claim thav another is in- fringing on his rights, or, likewise, no atten- tion should be paid to'the claims of infringe- ment by others until the questions _involved are carefully passed upon by a veliable at- torney. For such services the charges are aways fair-and reasonablo. Foreign Pa In addition to the bureau’s facilities for attending to the interests of its inventor-pat- rous before the United *States patent oftice and courts, iv_1is also enabled to procure vatonts for inventions in all countries of the world. in many of the foreign coun- tries, notably Canada, England aod Ger- many, vatents for inventions proviously patented in this country are looked upon with great favor, and inventors ara there very frequently move likely to realize profits from their inventions than they ara even in this country. The cost of foreign patents varies with " different ettses? but as a general rule the expenses of focuting patents, cov ering all charges, is about is follows: Canaas, $50; Englai@l, 390; Germany, $00; 'rance, $45; Spain, Bilgium, 360, Ad- ditional mformation régardng the cost, ote., n any foreign country 'will’ be furnished by letter on application. ” “In all such requests mention having read'thesd instructions in Tur BEg. v Important Warning Tt seems remarkable, that in this entight- ened age it becomes the duty of every re- liable and trust'vorthy dttorney in patent matters toadvise his; clients to beware of the many sharks who/set put with the ap- pavent intention of "defrduding inventors immediately after the'rssue’of their patents.

This explanation 1vas offered to- might, as all that conld beofficially given out. Sir R D. Morier some time ago secured a leave of absence. He was in lLondon and left as vigorous as ever. The transference when arranged was not associated with reasons of health. On inquiring into the genuine cause of Lord Salisbury's action, points wers elicitad which indicate that the retention of Sir R. D, Morier at St. Petersburg is duo to the fact that tho government is co-operating with the Gorman and Ttalian governments in trying to pursuade the czar to abandon the French aliiance and join the Kuropoan compact, leaving the I'rench isolated, S R. D. Morier, who 15a parsona grata at the Russian court, being much liked by the czar, is using his influence to arrange aconference between tho cmperors of IRussin and Germany, at which it is hoped the old barmony of re lations may bo re-established.

The prince of Wales returned to Windsor castle this evening to attend the vrivate service in St. George's chapel, at which all of the mombors of his famly and those of tho dukes of Fifo and “Teck wero present. After tho service all proceeded to the memorial chapol. It was the final family gathoring around tho coftin of the duke of Clarence. The duke and duchess of Teck and their sons and daughter, Princoss Mary, immediately afterwards left for Richmond by tho night train. The princess of Wales and family will return to Sandringham hall tomorrow. Did Not Show or Respect, The neglect of the German kmser to ob- serve the respect due to the duke of Clarence is resented inthe court circles hero. The emperor went on a shooting excuision to Buchsburg on the ove of tho duke's death, althoush he had been appraised that his con dition was desperate. Even after receiving the telegram announcing tho duke’s death, he continued to sport, and had anoth day's shootiug, returning to Berlin on Fri day evening. And instead of :immediately hastesing to express his condolence the em- peror did not call on the British ambassador until Sunday afternoon, inally the near- ness of relationship justified the court hero in oxpecting that the emperor would order mourning for three weeks, instead of for only ten days. The ex-empress is Lelioved to have ~written to a per- sonage in the Knglish court that she had been pained by her son's want of consideration, and that she had also nad cuuse to complain, as the emperor did not call upon her as custom and duty dictated uutil the third day after the duke of Clar- ence's death. The best interpretation put on the behavior of the emperor s that he had a fit of eccentric humor, such as now and then frequently oceurs, and that he allowed his ill will toward the prince of Wales to dis- play itseif. Researches for precedents enabling Prince Georga to marry Princess Mary havo dis- closed the fact that itis a rule that in tho event of the death of ker betrothed a royal princess must wait five years before becom- ing again betrothed.
