Clark of the Carbon Conl company, has made application for a patent to protect a simple but ingenius devise that will be likely to revolution- ize the horse shoeing business, It is a little machine for sharpening the too and heel calks of horse shoes without removing the shoe from the foot. The machine clamps upon the shoe and the calks are quickly sharpened by a rapidly revolving milling mandril. The toe and heel calks on a sets of shoes given sharp points in a fow minutes, and it will not be necessury to remove the shoes until they are worn out. The ma- chine has been submitted to many hovse- men and practical mechanics, and they not only declure it to be something en- tirely new, but enthusinstically pro- nounce it the greatest aid to horsemen and shoe Mr. Clark received advices from the patent office yesterday an- nouncing that his patent would soon be issued, and he will make arrangements to put the machine on the market at once.

Itis stated that the church is about equally di- vided on the question whetber Rev. L. A. Hall shall continue to bo the pastor or not and the question will be decided on next Satarday night. A ballot is to be taken, the members stepping to the front of the church and gepositing their votes in a La' as their nawes are called out by the church clerk. An interesting question, and one which may bring the matter into the courts, is likely to spring at that time. The four mem- bers whose expulsion was the cause of the recent flare up, and whose readmission al- most caused a freo-for-all fight in the church a week azo last Wednesday evening, are to Do present and will attempt to vote. The procecdings of the meeting held at that time, however, have not boen entered upon the church records by the clerk, L. R. Joseph, who 1s oue of Rev. Hall's supporters, so that their names will not be read, It is thought by some of the opposition that the two sides will be so evenly divided that it will be nec- essary to decide whether the four members wero legally expelled in order to decide whother Mr. Hall is to stay or nor, In tis sermon Sunday Rev. Hall made a number of rather uncomplimentary refer- ences to the members of the opposition party, in one of which he Jikened them to so many dogs and announced that he would not stay 1n the sume kennel with them; either they must get out or he would. He then said that if he got out he would open up shop close at hand. Itis understood that his supporters have promised him that if he is dropped by the church his sympathizers will go with him to the number of seventy-tive or 100 and organize a church 'o run in owmnmou to the other one. On the othor hand the opposition have given 1t out cold that if they bave a majority at the meeting Saturday evening Rev. Hall will not occupy the pulpit Sunday mornic that it is evident that some very decided change will take place in the affairs of the church in the near future, e Vocal Musie, Prof. T. W.

Specifications must be drawn 1o fully dis the invention, to dis- tinguish between what is new and what is old. The employment of counsel skilled in patent law is therefore usually a prevequi- site to the proper prosecution of a case and a graut of a valuable patent. Many inventors suffer the loss of benefits that should be derived from valuable inven tions owing to nsufficient protection by patents procured through incompetent or careless agent or What Grantoed, Under tho laws of the United States let- ters patent are grauted toany person who has invented or discovered any new and use. ful art machine, manufucture ox composition of matter, or has invented any new or useful improvement thereon. FEBRUARY 24, MOW CAN T SECURE A DATENT | 1er Term of Patent, A patent is granted for seventeen years, during wnich time tho owner nas sole and exclusive right to make, use and sell the putented invention ow to Pru N For economic reasons, before making ap- plication to the patent office for a patent, the novelty and patentability of the invention should be ascertained, because, if the inven- tion is nob new or not patentable, uu unneces- sary expense is incurred by filing an ap- plication on which & patent can never be granted, ‘The first thing to be doue is to find out whether or uot the invention is new and patentable. For advice on this point it is necessary to sond to Tik Bee Burcau a rough ov complete sketch or a photograph of the invention, to- gether with a brief description therecof, set- ting forth the object of the improvements, the arraugement of the parts and the aa vantages attained. While a_model is very seldom necessary, yet it is offen of great as- sistance. Tue latter can be made of any cheap material, and will bo returned if a re- quest is made 1o that effect. Upon receipt of the data mentioned suffi- cient to epable the invention 10 be under- stood, our counsel will at oncgexamine there- 1uto, and will advise without charge what 1s the best courss to pursuc, and will express an opinion, from their knowledge of the arts and patents already grantes, 83 to the pat- entubility of the invention. clal Sear In this connection it is recommended that the best and safest coursc is to have a special sourch made in the patent office to uscertain whether or not the invention has been here- tofore patented. The advantage of such a search is that if no anticipating patent is discovered tho application can be filed with a greater degree of certainty, whereas if the invention is found to be old all further expense is avoided. The cost of a search of this nature is $5, and with the report of the result thercof the inventor will be furnished widh copies of such patents, if any, as embrace his idess. Itis much bet- ter to huve this search made in the outset before incurring any expense whstever re- garding the application for patent, If1tis found that the invention is new and patentable the client is advised to proceed with tne filing of an application for patent, and will then ba requested to romit $15 to cover the first government fee and & in pay- ment of cost of drawing, when one is neces- As soon as possible after the of this remittance the speci- of the invention will be carefully prepared and forwarded to the inventor, tozether with forms for appli- cation for patent ready for execution. Upon return of the latter the case will e promptly filed in the patent office, and notice will ba sent when action is had thereon, aad also of the nature of such action. Time Required. The examining corps of the patent oftice is composed of thirty-two divisions, .among which the applications are divided according to the ofticial classification, The condition of the worl in theso various divisions varies from one to five months 1 arrears.

About threc weeiss after the payment of this final fee the patent will issue und be mailed 10 the inventor. The Bureau Charges, Consistent with the spirit in which this Bureau was formed, it is proposed to do the work as near the actual cost us will protect the business from loss. Although counsel are retaimed at heavy vxpense to the Bureau, vet it is the wish to charge in ordinary cases only the minimum foe ot $25. However, in cases requiring extra care, time and labor, the feo will bo proportionately incrensed, but clients will always be advised in ad- vance should such increase of fee be found necessary, Design Patents, A pateut for a design is granted 1o any person who has invented, or proauced 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 pe printed, painted, cast or otherwise pluced on or worked into any article of mauufécture; or any new, useful and original shapo or configuration of any article of manufacturs, the same not having heen known or used by others before his invention or production thereof, or patented or described iu any prioted publica- tion. Pateunts for desigos are granted for the term of three and one-halt years, the goverament fee being 810; gr for seven years, the fee belng 815; or for fourteen years, the fee being §30. Tne chargp of the Bureau in such cases is usually §25. | Rewsuds.

The government fee for u réMsue is $0. The cost of drawicg is 8, and’ the Bureau charee is usually #35. Great care'must be exercised in reissuing o patent, becdfize very often what little validity there may'’bé in a defective vatent s eatirely lost by procuring relssuo which 15 totally invahd, ¢ Rejected Cases., ‘There are in the patent ofice & great many cases which stand rejected, but which should be allowed. This condition of the case may be due either to iucompotency on the part of the attorney employed or his inability, be- cause ot residence olsewhere thao in Wash- ington, to make the examiner see the inven- tion in its true light; anu then, again, as often ocours, cases are rejected on improper or insufficient grounds. When 80 requested we will have our counsel examine ioto any such case free of charge and advise as to the Jrospects for success by further prosecution. The client will also ve then fuformed of the probable cost of completion. Caveats, By means of a caveut an inventor secures record evideuce rezarding his wvention for the purpose of enabliug him to complete or further experiment therewith. The life of a caveat is one year, and it may be renewed at the eud of thut time. The gavernmeut fee is #10 and the bureau chargy is §10. Trade Marks. A trade mark is a favciful or arbitrary de- vice or sywbol used to distinguish the goods 1892, of a particular manufacture. The owner of ' wants & every trade mark is entitled to register tho sainé, no matter how long it bas been in use. The life of the certificate of registration is thirty years and may be rouewed for a like period. The government fee, pavable on filing each application for registration .f trade mark, is §5. The Bureau's churge s ¥ Labels Labels of all kinds, designed to be attached to manvfactured articles or to bottles, boxes, containing them, have heretofore bee received for registration at the patent oftico and a certificate issued accordingly, Under a very®ecent decision of the supréme court of the United States it is hela that there is no authority in law for grauting certiticatss of registration of labels which simply desig nate or aescribo the articles to which they are attached, and which have no value sena- rated therefrom. A label to be entitied to registration must have by itseif some valne as a composition, at least as sorving some purpose other than as a mere designation or advertisement. Many now holding cer tificates of rogistration of labels are totally without any protection whatever. Many regis tered labels comprise subject matter register able as trade marks. Wherever this is so, or where by asiight change it can be made to cone within the purview of the laws govern- ing trade nfirks, registration should be soueht under this head, The government foo ina label cave is #), and the Bureau charge is Copyrights can bo had for books, maps, engravings, photographs, paintings, pictures, ete.

An interference is a judicial proceeding in- stituted under the direction of the commis- sioner of patents to enable him to determine tae question of priority of invention between nval claimants. T | BUiteAU, TeCOg- nizing the fact that extraordinary care and skill are requisite on the part of an attorney in charge of a case in iuterference, has at its command vounsel prepared to conduct such procecdings from the very inception down to a final determination of the merits of the cause. Testimouy will also bo taken under our direction in any part of tho United States. While no specitic sum can be set down as appiicable to all interfereuce cases alike, yet the charge will always be as rea sonable as possible. Infringements. The question whether or not one patent infringes another is the very soul of all patent litigation. The questions involved are many, and.of the most intricate nature. 1t is ulways o matter of such great import aunce that no one should ever claim that an- other is infringing on bis rights, or, likewise, no attention should be paid to the claims of infringement by others, until the questions involved are carefully passed upon by reli- avle counsel. For such services the charges are atways fair and reasonable, Forelgn Patents. In addition to the Bureau’s facili: attending to the interests of its inventor- patrons before the United States patent oftice and courts, it is also enabled to procure patents for inventions in all countries of the world. In many of the foreign countries, notably Canada, Eogland and Germany, patents for inventions previously patented in this country are looked upon with great favor ana 1aventors arc there very frequently more likely to realize profits from their in- ventions than they are even in this country. The cost of foreign puteuts varies with differ- ent cases, but as a general rule the expense of procuring paterts, covering all charges, is about as follow: Caoadu, 0 gland, £00; Germany, $00; France, $35; Spain, §0; Belgium, $60. Ad- ditional information regarding the cost, etc., in any foreign country will be furnishéd by letter on application. Important Warning. It seems remarkable that in this enlight- ened age it becomes the auty of everv reli- able and trustwortny attorney in patent mat- ters to advise his clients to beware of the many sharks who set out with the apparent intention of defrauding inventors immedi- ately after theissue of their patents. Wken a patent appears in the Patent Oficial Ga- zewte patentees are beset with iunumerable offers, solicitations, requests, otc., some pre- tending to want to purchase their patents, while others offer to take an interest therein under promise of procuring foreign patents ‘The sole object of theso people is to obtain money from Inventors, and they never maxe the slightest cuaeavor to carry out their groundless and worthless promises. One of the schemes often resortea to by theso sharks is o invite patentees to join a tictitious association, under the pretoxt that by paying the mombership fee the patented invention will be widely published in a paper which does not exist, and that a salesman will travel over the country until the sale of the patent is effected, and this, 1tis needless to add, is never accomplished. Regarding Charges, The charges made by TuE F Bureav or Craivs for services in patent cases und those of an analogous nature have been fixed at the lowest possible rata consiStent with the degreo of skill and talent we © Lo employ in the prosecution of these cases. Some attorneys might profess to secure pat- ents at somewhat lower rates than ours, but we iusist that the work cannot be done prop- erly for less than we charge. It is one thing to procure a patent, but it is quite another to obtain one which will embrace all the claims which the state of the art will permit. Tnis latter requires a high dexree of skill, long experienco, technical knowleage and special qualifications, which must be apparent to overy intelligent inventor. It is our constant alm to procure a patent which will include every claim to which an inventor is entitled and also ono that will stand & test in courts, as far as it is possible to do so. Inventors who once intrust a case to the Bureau's care realize the force of these remarxs. Models, As hbereinbofore mentioned, models are not required in the patent office except in in- tricate or complicated cases. But at the same time, when an invention can be better explained by a model it is well to sena the same to us, ~ A model should always be of a 81z not larger than one square foot, and in sending the same by express the charges should be prepaid. Anyinformation not herein contained will ba cheerfully furnished upon application, 1reo of charge.

Whon he sees labor wasted he begins to puzzle out vlans for sav- ing it. When be strikes an ingenious ma. chine he sets to calculating how it may be improved. Few Yankees have gone through life without devising some kind of invention, ulthough in most cases the device muy have goue no further thun the mind of the in ventor. The patent ofizo at Washington 1s the out- growth of ttus national quality,” It is such a wonument of multifarious in enuity as is not to be matched in the world. Its stores of plans and mode.s aro beaped up so luy- ishly by the irrepressible genius of the na- tion that the whole establishment might be burned to the ground every five years, and each new building would be overflowing in time for the next fire, Plainly, it can be no light thing to keep all this mass of business in ovder. “As aryas & patent office report” has become a proverb. Jut these reports, extending through bun- dreds of bulky volumes, contain the facts by whose light every new application for & patent must be decided. The person who exnects to be of any assistance in facilitating the progress of a new idea toward govern- ment recognition must know how to thread their dusty byways and uncover all the old ideas to which the new comer may bear a famly resemolance The inventor can baraly ever do this. Even if he havpens to be a resident of Wash- inglon bis familianty with the details of patent office procedureis rotlikely to be sufficient to enavle bim to accomplish any- thing for himself, and if he lives at & distance of course he can 1o nothing. An attorney is always required. Bul nou even the pensioners have suffere- more from the operations of unscrupuious at toriueys thau the luventors. The average in veutor is poor, aud not acoustomed 1o the tecinicalities of law or business, He patent. and he takes that term at its face value. To him a patent is @ patent, neither more nor less. He roads the advertisementof & plausible agent who promises to get patents in quick time at low rates, payable only in ocase of success. He sends on his application and in due time is gladdened by the receipt of an impressive document, earished with gilt seals and_bluo ribbons and announcing 1tself to be a patent. And so it is, bat when the owner uuaer- takes to put his invention on the market he finds that he has nothing to sell. The attorney has saved him self trouble by putting in a claim covering only some one trivial point and the patent granted on that point is worthless as a pro tection to the essential features of the inven. tion. An honest and capable attorney would have made his claim us broad as possible: he would bave argued every point with the examiuers, and when he finally obtained a patent it would have been as valuable as tho merits of the invention would permit, Tue B Jureau of Claims is not afrmd of trouble. Coutrary to its custom in land, Indian depredation and pension cases it does not take patent cases on contigent fees, and no other reputable patent attorneys do. When an apvlication is intrusted to it, it gives the subject careful and intelligent study, and then files an itemizod claim covering as many poiuts as can possibly be found in the invention. [t argues as wany of these as may be denied and in the ona 1t secures a patent comprehonsive enough to hold its own in the courts and in the mouey markot. If any inventor should be inclined to quos - tion tho importancefof broad claims in apply. ing for patents, he may profitably cousider the methods by which Alexandar Graham Bell has been raised within the past fifteen years [rom poverty to a place in the financial world alongside of Jay Gould and Russell Sage. Tne B, Buneav or Crarws, In dealing with the claims avising under the Inman depredations act, has been successtul in pro- tecting a large number of subscribers ana others from extortion and loss, IFrom com- plaiuts that have come to it. however, it ap- pears thut many of the claimants do not un derstand their position under the act. At a time when thore appeared to be little chance that congress would take up the claims or make any appropriation to pay them, they signed contracts with the Washington agents, promising from one-quarter to one-half tho amount to the agent in caso the money should be collected. In view of this oxtortion con- gress insertod a provision in the act annul- ing all contractsand limiting tho agent's commission to 15 or 20 per cent. The claimants ail probably understand that the agent’s comwission has been limited by the law, but many of them, according to their own statements, do not understand that they are free to do as they please about employing the agent they had first chosen. Thoy con sidergthat thoy aro still bouna to employ tho agent with whom thoy signed the exorbitaat contracts whether they are satistied with him or not. It was the inzontion of congress to protect them at ail points and they were left on the passage of the act froe to do as they pleased and employ whom they pleased. Section 9 of the act atated: *‘That all sales, trunsfers or assignraents of any such claims heretofors or hereafter mude, except such as have occurred in the duo administration of decedents’ es tates, and, all contracts herotofore made for fees and allowances to claimants’ attorneys arehereby declared void. There could be no mistake about the mean- s. All claimants had to make new th agents after the passage of the act, and they were at_liberty to emplov any one they pleased. If they were pleased with thezeal and acts of their first acent thev might make their new cont with him. Ifthey were dissatised thoy might choose any other agent that they pleased. hose who have not signed new contracts sincetho passage of the act may profit by this to secure much better terms than thev could otherwise get from the agents. The fact that Tue Ber BUreav is doing the work for the bare expense involved has had a good effect in moderating the charges of all agents 1o those who know how to protect them- selves. For those who distrust their ability to cope with the claim agents on their own ground Tue Bee Bureau is always open. . A AEEDED BUKEAU. The organization of the new court of law claims at Denver last month and the an nouncement that the court will bold itsfina session in that city on the 17th of November tive promise thaths lonz-vexad titles in th western territories and state wiil soon be in afair way to settlement. The disputed titles under the Moxican and Spanish grants have proved especially troublesome in Arizona and Now Mexico. They have delayed settlsment and investinent in some of the fairest lands of the southwest, and nave proved annoying in the districts farther to the north. After much agitation and complant congress was induced at the last session tojprovide a court for thie consideration of this ousiness, and it will soon begin to work. The organization of this court gives Tue BrE BUukeAv or CLAIMS a chance to extend its usefulness. It will take claims under this law and prosecute them for persons who do not know whom to engago for the service. The business entrusted to the bureau st Washington is being prosec.ted with energy. The Indian depredations patent, land mining and other claims before the courts and depurtments are being pushed as rapidly as possible, with no delays on accunt of the large amount of business which has been sont to the bureau, The large amount of claims intrusted toits careis a standing proof of the esteem andjconfidence in which Tne Bre is held by the public whichit serves, It is like- #ise a demonstration. if one was required,of the deed of such an organizatiorn ‘The revelations n regard to the Loomis agency which have been published recently go even furtherin the same direction. When a man sought for by the police for neurly a yoar on a warrant for embezzlement can set up as a claim agent, flood the western coun- try with circulars and receive assignments for several million dollar's worth of claims, it appears that there is little protection for the claimant who sends to.an unknown repre sentative. The men who assigned their claim to Loomis would have had small chance of their seeing any of their money if that schemer had beon given time to collect their claims, When such rtsks aro run and men who are not able to go to Washington and know no one there must hire their attorney at haphazard, the need for & bureau o pr tect the people and do their work at reason- able rates is lYpul'ollL ‘The approval with which Tie Beg entor- prise is received by journalists and public men is as gratifying a8 the response of the public, — The Buresu | Tor Bee-ExamiNer Brreav or CLaimvs bas received testimony of its good work from both sides with which it deals.
