NOTICE.

Ill consequence OI TIC Sc
curity of the copyright trade
mark and the engagements Of
Mr.. Read with us, we gave
large attention to the Lans-
downe, introduced it freely, and
advertised it prominently. The
beauty Of the fabric and the
choice variety of colors soon
created a large demand, and
many dealers sought in vain to
obtain the goods, but encoun-
tered the difficulties of the stu
alton. Not to be baffled in
their attempt to profit by the
reputation created by us for the
Lansdowne, certain other goods
have been made to serve the
purpose of Lansdowne, and
have been falsely advertised as
such.
Every bieee Of .SlN-and-aoool

BY Wilham +. Reaa, Of PMla-
aeibhia, is a /''ana.
Any dealer attempting to use
the name in connection with
goods Of other makers convicts
himself thereby of ignorance or
fraud. 1t belongs to the owner
Of the trademark to protect his
legal rights, and to us to pro
tect the public from imposition
and our business from injury.
If comparisons were no,

buyers may choose.
The Application.
The Lansdowne fraud is only
one of many constantly prac
ticed upon the public. Such
things thrive because encour
aged. Some impositions or
the public result from ignor
ance, some from design. The
latter distinction is moral, the
former intellectual. But neither
would thrive if the public care
fully sought to know and en-
courage only the merchants
that consistently tell and live
up to the truth. Make hum
bug and falsehood odious and
you'll get honest service, be
cause it will pay best.

THE Mckinley bill places duty of one
fourth Of cent pound upon sulphuric
acid, which has been free. This il q tax

farmer knows how important su!phuric
acid IL In fertilizers. There are millions Of
capital invested in the manu- ufActuro of this
acid and II has not been found necessary TO

THE National Democrat gives an inter-
esting account of the futile efforts of Secre-
tary Rusk to relieve the farmers of the tax
on manure salts. The law made free all
substances used as manures and the secre-
tary of agriculture tried to persuade secre-
taryl Window, Of the treasury, that this
should enable the farmers to get free of its
twenty per cent. duty the crude sulphate
Of potash, wi hich is used In the manufacture
of fertilizers for tobacco. Mr.. Window
replied that as the sulphste of potash was
mentioned by name in the law aud taxed
twenty per cent. he could not admit it free
Through long correspondence the secre-
tary of agriculture, who has just been prais-
ing the tariff, is shown to have struggled
for relief frsm this tax, but although two
United States circuit judges have rendered
decisions supporting his view of the case
the treasury department declined to yield.
The Mex inley bill makes no change in
this tax.

How Mason Explained 1t.

have been told a new story, says New
York Tribune correspondent, illustrative of the
ready wit of Representative Mason of Illinois,
whose personal influence was largely response
BILE for many of Cnicago's votes in the world s
fair contest. The incident occurred when he
was, years ago, lawyer in Des Moines He was
defending man named Spencer in an action
for divorce, brought by his wife After the ev-
ldence had been all taken the opposing lawyer
summed up for the prosecution and handled
Spencers testimony without gloves. The de-
PENDANT, enraged, blurted out suddenly:
You are a liari"
Immediately the court became so quiet that
you could have heard the traditional pin Drop
and the judge, scowling, seemed to to be think
ing OF a suitable punishment for such unprece-
dented contempt. AT any rate it looked as if
Spencer had Irrevocably prejudiced his case
mason was the first man to recover from the
shock, and he began at once in his sweetest
tones
Il presume may it please your honor from
the silence which has fallen upon the court
that my clients language has been miscon-
strued. Know, then, that he is an ardent
admlrer OF music and is strangely affected by
1t. When my learned friend opened his mouth
and heard his first eloquent words | feared
that his musical voice would be too much for
my client. Nor was l mistaken for it made
such an impression upon him that. forgetting
1t was directed against him, he exclaimed in
admiration: You're Tyre Yes, your honor,
he said Tyre but it was merely musical
metaphor His passion for music was too
great He meant Tyre but Tyre with y, may
it please your honor"
In the laughter which followed both Judge
and lawyer forgot and forgave the offense and
as Spencer's astonishment had prevented a
relteration of his statement he escaped punish
ment.

DID He Jumn His Bond2.

In our New York dispatches Thursday
the statement was made that Maj. w. II.
Clark was not present in court when the
case against him was called. He was under
bond to appear and answer the charge of
felonions assault on Wilton Randolph
Maj. Clark and Mr.. Randolph were both
members of the Southern Society of New
York, and last January they had a dispute
about the loan of a book. Hot words passed,
and they were advised to settle their diff
Guilty outside Of the clubhouse. They
stepped into the street and Maj. Clark fred
five shots from revolver at Mr.. Randolph
without, however, hitting him.
Maj. Clark was arrested and ad lifted to
bail on $1,000 bond. He was subsequently
expelled from the Southern Society, an in
vestigation having shown that his conduct
in the shooting affair was inexcusable. He
made every preparation to defend himself
at the trial, and his failure to appear
In court caused a good deal of comment.
His friends said that he had probably been
taken suddenly sick, but his enemies init
mated that he had jumped his bond
Should he be convicted of the crime of
which he is charged he would be sent to the
penitentiary for at least five years. The
case against him is a strong one, and the
probabilities are that he concluded not to
risk trial.
