Several years ago It became known to the public that the American Bell Telephone Company was holding back ln the patent office an application of one Emil Berliner of Hanover, Germa ny, which had been filed in the early days of telephony. It was said, then, by thusa who have knowl->dge of tho ftict, that this was done to the ctid that tlie patent might issue at about time original Bell patents expired, and thereby cpjUnue the telephone monop oly Xof"»evemeou years from the time whea it sflould isaue. The patent was finally granted to the Bell Company Nov. 17, 1891. The original Bell patent expired March 7. 1891, and Che second Bell pat ent in January of the following year. The Blake patent on the transmitter and 'the Dunning patents no tho long distance transmitter, expired before either of the Bell patents because they were limited tn duration, by the expira tion of prior foreign patents. By decis ions In the courts, the Edison patents also expired for the same reason. These, with the Heritor* patent, con stituted the fundamental patents of the Bell telephone monopoly, and hence tho Berliner pafent has reoently been the sole wall of defense of this monopoly against free competition, excepting, of coups', minor details of the machine. In the brief nn which Attoroey-G**n- eral MHler began proceedings for tot annulment of the Berliner patent If Bet forth at length the case against thi monopoly. ' The application' for the patent was filed by Berliner June 4, 1877, In 1878 It became »ttie Property of the Bel Company, aod the prosecution of tin case through the paterit office wai thenceforth in the hands of that com pany. There were many etages in thi history ^of this application, until all o a fiirtRTen it was allowed oy the patenr office, a»B3ut a year and ‘a half befori the original Bell patents were to ex pi re. This delay of fourteen' years was on* of the grounds alleged by the govern meat for Invalidating the Berliner pat ent. It was further claimed by th« government that this great delay had been designedly caused with the intern of prolonging the monopoly. ‘Another ground an which d$i3 govern, mont claimed that tlhe patent tihuuld be tovalldated was ithat thte npplica tion'wus for a patent on Rcnuchhlin-g es sentiatiy differenit from that on which Uhe .patent nvas issued. The olutai was jrnde thoit ©erlihger’s appKcajfio-n, n«s filed to .tihe paltjent office J-une 4, 1877, showed and described a te^dphonfi transmitter which dlcipentieti. in ita ocn- struction on a "make and break" cir oult, While ’Ai Uhe paltcmt as Uioued nc such "make and breuk" tram^i.TJJ;tei •was ehoiwn.

BerUmcr unitil long after ward. The complalnit dujurgeil thal this • was drawn with consummate art, and ivvitih intent, as your oratoz bo3iov’!(» and cWanges, to mislead un-d deceHw the examiner In flhe oaJtent of fice by concerning from hiim that ih<\ amramlment lntrotiJUced into the au.-li- catk>n a new and subsfii.nitlaa Inven tion not found In (the origlinai applica tion." This difference mis not discovered for -two years after *t!he amended a:p- pijcation was made, and then, and for some years aifterwtirds 1 , the delay in rejecting flhe application on flhla ground was used as one anzument why it should nbt be rejected. Berliner at length filed an affidavit in which ho said that the matter described in the substitute was invented by him prior to filing the original and formed part of tho original Invention. The gov ernment held that this statement was un- Jtrue, and that he did not Intend to de scribe a continuous circuit Instrument at the beginning. The filing of this affidavit, tho government held, constituted fraud sufficient for tho repeal of tho patent. Berilner took out a patent November 2, 1880, which. It was held, described the same apparatus as shown in tho patent under consideration. It was then claimed to bo a "receiver." In the 1891 patent, tho same instrument was claimed as a “transmitter." It was, therefore, claimed that In 1880 the commissioner of patents had exhausted his power as regards this invention and had no jurisdiction to issue the 1891 patent. It was further dalmed that long prior to the alleged invention of tho Instrument covered by four claims ln the /atent it was in use by Thomas A. Edison, and that the Bell Company knew that Berliner was not the original Inventor, but con cealed that fact from the commissioner of patents. Many Irregularities, errors and unlaw ful acts on the part of the patent office officials were charged as additional grounds for Invalidating the Berliner pat ent KISSED BY A WIDOW IN PUBLIC. Police Captain James Ennis of the Stag* Street police station ln Brooklyn was hugged and kissed on the street the other day by a woman not his wife. Tha gal lant captain retaliated by swearing out a warrant against the woman and causing her arrest. Tho woman who thus publicly hugged and kissed the captain Is said to be crazy, but the captain’s friends Insist that her course of conduct tn relation to C&pt. En nis was not necessarily a sign of her In sanity. The captain, however. Is gener ally known as a thoroughly domestic man. He has been annoyed for two years by this woman, whoso name is Straltor, and who Is a widow. Capt. Ennis was standing at Graham avenue and Stags street the other morn ing waiting for a car to take him to po lice headquarters, when Mrs. Straltor come at him auddenly and, throwing rer arms around his neck, hugged him tight and then Imprinted several kisses on his blanched cheeks. She made a brave, but ineffectual effort, to reach his mouth. Naturally, & crowd collected, and he sue- ceeded. In getting rid of the woman only by promising to meet her today. C&pt. Ennis went to police headquarters and on his return to the eastern district he visited Judge Watson’s police court and got a warrant for Mrs. Straltor** ar rest under section 675 of the Penal Code. When arrested she declared she waa en gaged to Capt. Ennia. She was committed to Jail for examination as to her sanity.— New York Times. THE OHIOA1GO IDEAL.
