ing marriage of King Alfonso of Spain with the
Archduchess Christine OF Austria has been taken
advantage OF by the Societies for the Prevention

benign and patriotic spirit which should animate
the sovereign OF a great nation than an effort to
instincts of cruelty, by the substitution of the
blessed principles of mercy and beneYOlence.n

A LOTTERY DEALER SUES POSTMASTER JAMES
Max Berger, a New York lottery dealer, has
brought suit against Postmaster James, in the
state supreme court, for alleged illegal deten-
tiOn of his letters, for which he claims s. 500
damages. The case will probably be trans
ferred to the Federal court. The letters were
detained under orders from the Postmaster
General. based on the law authorizing him to
detain letters concerning lotteries, sc. 1t is
claimed by counsel that the law is unconstitu-
tfCnal, as it makes the Postmaster General sole
and exclusive judge, jury, and sheriff, and de-
pIiyes the plaintiffs of their property without
due process of law, and in violation of the Con-
Stitution.

of the protection of foreign trade vessels
under the decision of the Supreme Court, just
rendered, declaring the law for their protection
invalid, was discussed. The United States has
treaties with a number OF foreign powers guar
anteeing trademark protection in this country
to their subjects In view of this fact it was de-
cided that the enactment of a law that will
come under the provisions Of the Constitution,
and yet afford protection to foreign trademarks,
be recommended to Congress.
