Justice Van Wyck will accept the
Democratic gubernatorial nomination-
This decision was reached Sunday
after the Judge and his brother had
had a two hour's consultation. Tbe
candidate will make a vigorous cam
paign in all tbe most important cities
of the slate. Quite a number of tbe
prominent Democrats of New York
and Brooklyn called npon Judge Van
Wyck during tbe day. Some of them,
al least, went away happy that the
doubt that has surrounded tbe Demo
cratic candidate’s intention bad been
removed.
Judge Van Wyck’s nomination by
tbe demand of his party placed him
in a bad dilemma On the one baud
was the certainty of bis re election to
the Supreme bench for fourteen years,
at a salary of $ 1'3,000 per annum, and
on the other hand the possibility of a
governorship for two years at SIO,OOO
a year. In other words, be has been
asked to let go of a sure $182,000 for a
$20,000 worth.

The Oldest Patent.
The question as to the holder of the
oldest patent in this country has brought
out from the heirs of Joseph Jencks
some additional facts which tend to
show that he was the first inventor in
this country. Patents granted from the
sovereign power of England for land,
water and other privileges were not un
common in early colonial times. Joseph
Jencks of Lynn, Mass., a number of
years previous to receiving a patent for
an invention of a scythe had been
granted one for ‘ ‘an application of wa
ter power to mills. ” Biographical notes
state that Mr. Jencks introduced to the
Massachusetts colony the idea of patent
ing inventions, and that he might pro
tect and introduce his ideas seems to
have been a reason for coming to the
new country. The grass scythe patented
in 1652 was perhaps the most valuable
of his inventions. The improvement
over the old English scythe, with its
short, thick blade, like a bush scythe,
consisted in lengthening the blade,
making it thinner and welding a square
bar at the back and strengthening it
Today this scythe, practically unchang
ed, is used in Europe and America. The
patent was withheld from Mr. Jencks
for nine years, as it was thought to be
too valuable to be monopolized.—Hart
ford Courant.
