ANOTHER
THE CLOTHING TRADE

ANOTHER
DODGE IN
THE CLOTHING TRADE
EXPOSED.
About a year ago we cautioned the people about
buying from the bogus
BANKRUPT SALES
which are yet being held in numbers Of towns,
where the store Is kept open for few days, and
before the victims OF their wilcs have time to
realize they "jump the town.
All over the North aud West there have been
started a number OF
PRIvATE-HOusB STORES,
where, because the usual accessories of business
houses are dispensed wIth they lead an Ignorant
class Of buyers to believe that they buy to better
advantage.
Another dodge OF more recent date Is the
MIsFIT
dodge That Is. TO advertise goods as being misfts
of leading taIlors-but few of them in the stock
and then unload lots of trash under the name OF
misa,s.
Recently one Of the leading New York tailor
discovered that western house, under the name OF
"msfts." was disposing OF large quantities OF
clothes with his label on them that he had never
made, and proceedings now being instituted to
stop the sale, and suit for damages win follow
Where there Is one genuine sale there are ffty
bogus ones, 50 keep your eye open when you travel
about
Richmond people have so far escaped many OF
these inGictions They are In the possession OF
several first-class houses from which they buy
with perfect confidence, and We humbly submit
our claims as worthy of your patronage.

The whitrock.smith injunction Gas,

In the Chance.y Court yesterday Judge
Addison l.. Holiday gave his decision in
the Injunction case OF Whitlock, trustee,
against Smith. Mr.. j. G. Smith was IN
debted to the Richmond Banking and In
surance Company in the sum OF $4,000, to
secure the payment OF which Mr.. Smith
gave two deeds OF trust on his Junk ana
paper-warehouse buildings, fixtures, and
stock. The first note OF 800, 900 is now held
by the Planters Bank. The second and
more recent obligation Is held by Mr..
Whit ock rs trustee for the Rich
mond Banking and Insurance Com
pany. Mr.. Whitlock, fearing that Mr.
Smiths sales OF stock were greater
than his purchases, and for the protection
OF the second obligation, obtained an in
junction from Judge Fitzhugh prohibiting
him from further disposing Of any OF said
stock. Mr.. Smith, upon Judge Holladay
coming into Office. applied to him for
dissolution of the Injunction, alleging that
he was only transacting his regular busi-
ness, and was not improperly disposing OF
the stock. and also that the real property
was more than sufficient to pay the debt.
Having previously heard the case fully al
gued, Judge Holiday yesterday gave the
following opinion:
Whitlock, Trustee, rs. Sm,th: On motion
TO diSSolue an injunction.
The plaintiff Whitlock has assumed to
act ms trustee OF the Richmond Banking
and Insurance Company, and its creditors
have a right to expect OF him care and dill
gence in the protection and collection OF Its
assets.
II he had reasonable ground for believing
the property embraced in the trust-deed
from the defendant Smith inadequate secu-
rity for the payment Of the debts thereby
secured he acted strictly within the line OF
his duty rs trustee in procuring the iniunc-
ton, and, while am by no means prepared
to say that the injunction should be dis
solved if the evidence proved the real pro-
pertv to be more than sufficient TO paw the
debts, am clearly Of opinion that, in the
absence OF this proof, the motion to dissolve
the injunction should be denied.
THE MARQUIS OF LORNE AND THE PRIN-

Poisoning Destructive Insects.

There is no question that Paris greer,
properly used, may DO employed to kill
nearly all noxious insects which take their
food in solid form. The precautions to be
observed are, not to poison the wrong ami
mails or human beings; not to iDjure the
crop to which the poison is applied to give
enough to kill the depredatOrs, and to allow
time for the rains to wash it off One great
advantage is that as the quantity of poison
is nearly in proportion to the bulk Of the
animal, the minute portion which is fatal
to small insects has 10 effect whatever on
4 man, who weighs hundred thousand
times as much. Yet We would not advise
any ono to swallow this minutest portion,
and it is not indeed necessary in any case.
The smallest dose Of arsenic safely ad
ministered by Il physician. would bo in
stantly fatal to 4 multitude of small beet
les. \ statement has been. published in
some of the papers, that I cultivatOr pro-
tected his grapevines from the rose bug by
applying the same mixture of Paris green
in water that lie usel Tor potatoes. A
second application WAS made after
the rain washed Off the first It cOm-
Pletely cleared the vines Of the rose bug
and the vines We're unhurt. The same
water mixture may be used for tho squash
and cucumber bugs, Only about half IS
strong, or else it will injure the young
plants. For insects which suck juices in
stead of eating solids. it is of little or No
account

Hot W Ater tor insects.

Application Of ho water 10 k ill iestiuc.
tive insects has tho important advantage
that it does not cover edible plants with
any foreign Or poisonous matter, as may
take place when other remedies are
used. We have successfully used
heated water for many years to de-
stroy the cabbage worm, if applied after
the head has formed. tho hot water Only
affecting the auter leaves, and not even
injuring these if properly applied. There
are two essential requisites to be observed,
namely, to have the water at the right
degree Of heat, and to continue the show
ering just long enough. AS a general
rule we find it best to apply the water
rather hot, and but for a moment. Some
experience AMI judgment are required to
make these two requisites meet, and by
not doing SO many persons fall in the use
and pronounce the remedy of no value.
What We want is a series Of experiments,
in connection with the use of The ther-
mometer, to determine what temperatures,
