whole train a shnnt and displaced the

The bulk of the children were in the front

IL Hostetter 6e0taach Bitter People
Score Another Point
In the United States Circuit Court for the
Southern Districtof New York, Judge Ship
man handed down IN opinion Q few days
ago in the suit Of the owners Of the trade
marks covering Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
against Arnold Theller and Cornell Theller,
the compounders located on Vesey street,
New York City, in which II was decided
that, although the defendants made use of
their own names on the labels affixed to the
bottles containing bitters prepared by them,
yet as they were evidently designed to imi-
tate the Hostetter labels, they were IN
fringers, and q perpetual injunction was
granted and an accounting Of damages Or
dered, together with the costs of the suit.
It is the evident intention of the Hostetter
people to protect their valuable trade mark
against all infringers.
