Ne,cs; Rev. DIR. Charles A. Stoddard,
Rev. DR.. Cuyler and others. There were

THAT success inspires envy and dishon-
est competitor is well known The force Of
this must have often occurred to the
Charles A. Vogeler Co., of Baltimore.
Last year in London, Eng, an unscrupu-
lous dealer sought to place a So called ''St.
David's" Oil in the market on the strength
of the great popularity Of the Vogeler
Co.'s "St. Jacobs" Oil. Thanks to En-
glish law, the high court of justice prompt
" issued a perpetual injunction against
the defendant and imposed heavy dam
ages. Some years ago the U. S. Court at
Cleveland, O., in a similar case awarded
this Baltimore house 81, 900 damages. The
Charles a. Vogeler Co. has again been
called upon to defend its rights and has
recently instituted suit in the Circuit
Court of Baltimore city for injunction and
damages. No doubt the best evidence of
the marvellous efficacy of EST. Jacobs
Oil' is to be found in the many unsuccess-
full attempts to trade upon its reputation.

Good Havana tobacco is getting
scarcer every year. Not more than ten
per cent. of the tobacco crop of Cuba
can be rated as ''first-classn quality,
and there has been no really fine-hav-
ored, aromatic leaf harvested since
1881. The principal reason for this is
that the soil is getting worn out and
the plantations are suffering from
the collapse that has followed, an ex-
cessive dose of guano.-N y. Tribune.
