You hear very much about the priceless

maguihceuce OF this delicate fabric that is
placed on alleged splendid trousseaux. About
the splendor OF the other material / cannot
say, but about the value OF the accs ] can
assert that there is much Of rle fliry story
about it, The best known lace buyer in this
town, who has had charge Of the lace depart
mcnt for years in one Of the largest dry goods
houses, told me the other day that they had
not one yard Of real lace in their whole store.
This seems a sweeping assertion, but it Is
nevertheless truo one. The particular firm
for which be bought lost Sl2,OO0 a year or so
ago in buying real lace, which had absolutely
no sale in this city; and, for this reason, they
resolved not TO buy any in the future No
one misses it, as there is no call for the genu-
inc article whatever. Like real diamonds,
real lace is seldom now seen on any one, but
it is particularly SO in the latter case Inter

Daniel Gibbons Of the Evening Herald,

it is believed that he will run great

sturdy fight he has made through the
columns Of his paper, for Reform. Mr..
Gibbons is a native of this city
and only moved to Philadelphia
about seven years ago. The late William

The romantic drama of tho "Corsican

mother was a Corsican, told him OF the
mysterious spiritual sympathy existing be-

They were 50 closely allied in tempera-
ment that one had always been able 20
determine, however widely separated, what
had happened TO the other Louis knew, in
England. when Augusta was suddenly taken

ABUSE OF THE TRADEMARK LAWS.
The Pharmaceutical Society's Arguments
before the CONGREGATIONAL Committee.

The Pharmaceutical Society's Arguments
Before the Congressional Committee.
One of the committee of the Delaware
Pharmaceutical Society, which was in
Washington this week, takes exception
to the published reports of the com
mittee's interview with the committee
appointed by Congress to investigate the
application of the United States patent
laws. He says that the eyes of the latter
committee were considerably opened to
the abuse Of the copyright and trade
mark laws by many manufacturers of
patent medicines and proprietary ari-
cles.
The COMMITTEES representing the Della
ware Pharmaceutical Society was as fol-
lows: DR.. f. +. Stewart, Jacob s. Bee
tenn, 2. James Belt and II. X Watsong
To DR.. Stewart belongs the credit of
agitating the matter and bringing it
before Congress.
The committee presented objections to
the ruling of the courts that druggists
had no right to manufacture patent
medicines after the patent had expired,
and sell them under the copyrighted
name or trade mark of the same The
committee claimed that many manufac-
turers of proprietary articles do not get a
patent on them. not caring to take
the risk of making the application,
but register trade mark. or copyright
label or name. Under this they expect,
and in a large measure have succeeded,
in making this copyright cover the
exclusive control of the medicine for an
unlimited time This is privilege, the
patent laws themselves do not grant, but
misconstruction of the laws has per-
mitted it.
The druggists maintain that under the
copyright and trade mark laws, WORD,
words or clause cannot be copyrighted
or used as a trade mark 1t must be a
device. Under this claim any druggist
has right to manufacture a compound
ON which the patent has expired and sell
it under its patented name, but if there
is trade mark in the form Of device,
he cannot use this trade mark
The congressional committee decided
that any druggist had right to manu-
lfacture and sell under its original name
any compound on which there was no
patent OF on which the patent had
expired But the trade mark could not
be altered. The committee were also of
the mind that no name designating a
preparation could be copyrighted as q
trade mark, and the exclusive control of
the article had under the same.
