the rich ones. There are hundreds Of Detroit
ladies wearing velvet and silk dresses who

tectives and the tagging walters, and with &C.

Ono lady boasts Of the amount Of goods she
can carry over 1t single trip. The smuggling

has smuggled for her friends, merely to keep

In England they do not recognize the abso-

sumption Of that name by stranger. The right
to the exclusive use Of name in connection
with trade or business is familiar to English
law; and any person using that name, after q
relative right Of this description has been ac-
q,lired by another, is considered to be guilty Of
fraud, or, at least, of ON invasion of anothers
rights, and renders himself liable to an action,
or he may be restrained from the use of the
name by injunction. But the mere assumption
