Long before Wordsworth lmmortalized
it by his poem of 1--WE Are Seven it
had played most important part in
history. There were seven champions
of Christendom, seven mortal sins and
seven mortal virtues, seven wise men
of Greece, seven wonders of the world,
seven times Christ spoke upon the cross
seven sorrows had Mary and seven joys.
There are seven great sleepers. And
now the Cleveland Leader comes for
ward and says: Seven is the mystic
number in the history of Chicago an
archy. Seven policemen were killed
in the Haymarket massacre, seven law

fore the jury, and at the end of little
more than seven weeks Of the trial

Another Important Trademark Suit
Won.

LONDON, ENGLAND Aug. 26, 1SS6-1n the
chancery division of the high court of JUS
tice, London, Vice-Chanceller Bacon has
given his decision in favor of The CHARLES
a. VoGELER COMPANY, of Baltimore, Mary
land, in the action brought by that house
against H. CHURCHILL & Co., OF Brisbane,
Queensland. The case which has been in
progress here since September, 1894, grew
out Of an attempt Of Churchill & Company
to register a trademark containing the
words ST. PATRICK OIL in connection with
amedicinal preparation. This was prompt
ly opposed by the Vogeler Company, who,
while admitting that the term and device
which were sought to be registered by the
Australian firm were in no respect indenti-
cal to the well-known ST. JACOBS OIL trade
marks, contended however, that sufficient
similarity existed between the term of st..
Patricks applied by Churchill e. Co. and
st. Jacobs as used by the Vogeler Co. to
cause confusion in the minds of the public
and lead to purchasers being deceived.-In
support of this position they submitted an
overwhelming amount of evidence from
English, American and Australian sources
with the result stated. Under the decision
of the Court, Churchill & Co. cannot regis
ter their mark and must pay costs Of the
case.-This is the second trademark suit
won by the Vogeler Company in England
within three years.
