The! \‘Vhlstlo and Whittle, , The inventiveness of Connecticut Yam kees is unparalleled. Every year they grow more inventive. A good proportion of the population of the State are inven- tors and patentees. ' Their business in life is to invent things and take out patents for them. Lots of the women of the State are patent hold-p ers, and the patents are for their own in- ventions, too. In looking over last year’s report of the Commissioner of Patents we have noticed that Connecticut yet stands the first among the inventive States of the Union. Why, the patents taken out in that year by the inventors of. the Nutmeg State numbered one for evory 903 of the State’s inhabitants. This was for a. single year, mind you; and so, if we add to the paten- tees of that year those of the previous 20 or 30 years we shall~be brought to the conclusion that most of the adult Yan- kees of Connecticut must be patentees. But the number of inventors is, far greater than that of patentees; for many a Connecticut inventor could not get a patent last year. The Commissioner of Patents at \Vashingtou ascertained by inspection of the inventions sent him from Connecticut that plenty of them were not, in his opinion, deserving of a patent. Some of them were worthless or unim- portant or not brand new, or infringed upon patent rights already in existence. Let us, however, count all these unsuc- cessful applicants for patents as actual inventors, or, at least, men and women of inventive mind, and we shall see that there cannot be room in the State for. many inhabitants other than them and the patentees. There is no other State of which tliis’can be said. It seems that there are cases in Con- necticut in which a man patentee is mar- ried to a woman patentee. \Vc have heard of a case in which not only the husband and the wife but also two of their children were patentees. They are both aged and youthful patentees in the State. If an inventor be black his or her color is no bar to an American patcnt.‘ It is a curious fact that the proportion of patentees in Connecticut is far greater than that in either of the two populous States by which it is bounded. \Vhy is it that Connecticut stands away ahead of New York and Maesachusetts at the Patent Office? ‘ ~ u... -% “ it’s worth it’s weight in gold," in every case of Piles.

Majority Leaders Said in Be Troubled by the Ice. Scandal at Albany.‘ ALBANY, May 16.—Muoh disgust is felt- by the leaders of the majority in the legis- lature at the latest scandal. ‘Just who are ’, touched by the four sealed indictments of ‘ the Albany grand jury Was not definitely Settled today beyond the fact that Assem- blyman Eugene Vacheron of Ozone Park. Queens county, was inquired for in Al- bany. The police were said to have sent word to New York and Brooklyn authorl‘ ties to arrest him. The bill in question, for the defeat of which the bribery occurred, was first in‘ troduced by Assemblyman Campbell of Brooklyn, and it was in the committee on internal affairs that the business amend- ing the bill was perfected. It was report- ed to second reading. Vacheron was a member of the committee. The other members were Cutler o'f Rockland, Snyder « of. Schuyler, Van Keuren of Ulster, Rider . [of Otsego, Brown of Yates, Clark of On. tario, Keenholtz of Albany, McNaughton of Saratoga, Staley of Schoharie and Nor- ten of Rensselaer. The bill, after its amendment, did not affect ice cutting south of Albany. but it worried the icemen, as there was another bill introduced by Senator Collins of Troy which covered all the Hudson river. This bill had been vigorously pushed by Sena- tor Smelzer of the Twenty-seventh dis. trict, even to the extent of irregularly re- porting lt out of the senate committee on public health, of which he is chairman. As yet there is no information to show that the grand jury indictments aflect' anything but the Campbell bill in the house, and the story is that two and possi- bly three assemblymen are among the in- dicted ones. Three thousand dollars is. said to be the amount of mono involved, and a bank in the village of stleton is said to be the source of the information. Inasmuch as the Campbell bill does not now affect the ice dealers in Castleton who are said to have been interested in the bank where the alleged payment was made, it is suspected that the senate or Collins bill may have had a share in the transaction. The sudden kicking back into commit- tee of the Collins bill on motion of Senator Rice of Ulster during the very last mo~ ments of the senate session ls-commentcd upon. ' As the matter stood today the Albany police and detectives wore industriousiy looking fer assemblymen, but District At- torney Burlingame would not admit that the members of the lower house were alto- gether the persons sought. The action of the grand jury is said to have been based on testimony given by an ice dealer of Cedar Hill. England Will Watch Bering Sea. WASHINGTON, May 16. ——It can be stated authoritatively that British sliips will be sent to Bering sea to patrol against poaché ers and to use every efiective means of carrying out the Paris award and the British law based thereon.
