Arguments I'm the Case Listened to by
the Court of Appeals. "nWBt

The Court of Appeals today heard argi-
ments in what Is known as the Palmetto
trade mark case. which involves the ques-
ton of the right of the commissioner of
patents to refuse an application for the
registration of a trade mark made on the
part of the governor of the state of South
Carolina on behalf of that commonwealth.
This trade mark was designed to be used
as a brand for liquors, which, under the
dispensary law, are now sold by the state
The application was rejected by the corn
missioner of patents on the ground that the
state has no authorized trade in liquors
outside of it's limits. is not the owner Of
any trade mark, and has not at this time
the right to the use Of the trade marx
sought to be registered. John A. johnson
and James E. Smith appeared for the state
and John l. Hall and Levin H. Campbell
for the commissioner of patents.

Chicago Has Over S3,OOO,OOO Surplus

Controller Wetherelrs final report, made
to the city council of Chicago yesterday,
included a statement of the exact condition
of the city finances prepared by Bookkeeper
Hayes, which bears little resemblance to
the report recently made by Mr.. Kingwell,
the expert accountant, who was employed
by Mayor Swift to make an examination of
the amount Of cash remaining to the credit
of the different funds. Mr.. Kingwell re-
ported an alarming deficit. Mr.. Hayes, on
the contrary. says the surplus resources of
the city over all actual liabilities amount
to nearly 100000.

Smuggled Marriages.

From the Lewiston Evening Journal.
Struggled marriages are the newest things
on Names eastern border. 1t appears
there is a queer situation in New Bruins
wick since the recent death of the lieuten-
ant governor. Certificates issued by the
government of the province are necessary
for a valid marriage, and all these blanks
in the hands of the municipal clerk are
countersigned by the dead man, and law
yers say they are not legal. Hence there
is a standstill in the matrimonial line ex-
cept as the anxious ones slip across into
Maine and get tied up Yankee fashion.

MIANTONOMOH'S CRUISE.
Her Trip to Brazil to Be Watched With
Great Interest.
The Coal She Can Carry and the Dis
tance Ii VIII Take Her-The
Proposed Route.

Owing to her limited coal capacity the
proposed cruise of the big monitor Mianto-
nomoh from Norfolk to Trinidad and, pos
sibly. to Rio, will be watched with interest
by naval officers and other persons inter
ested in naval construction. 1t is said at
the Navy Department that the monitor can
carry I'm her bunkers 30 tons of coal and
that she can in addition take a hundred
tons more on her deck. Her most econom-
icai steaming is at the rate of eight knots
an hour, but, under favorable conditions,
she can be pushed to ten knots. Steaming
at eight knots, she would consume thirty
tons OF coal a day. This would enable her
to go nine days without coaling, during
which time she would travel about lisa
knots. st. Thomas is about l. 40 miles from
New York and is likely to be the Mianto-
nomoh's first stopping place. especially as
the government has coal there. In case of
high winds or unfavorable weather, the ves-
sci might select some more northern port

"Have you some work there-may

eating the covered easel by an inclina-
tion of his head.
Claude arose from his chair and
walked over to the easel. Then he
paused and faced the Colonel with a
peculiar look in his face.
"This is not painted from life but
from memory, Colonel" he said, sad
ly. at is picture which you and
once saw together, two years ago next

With deft move of his hand Claude
Remington pulled aside the brown
silk curtain and Colonel Bland stood
spellbound before the portrait. The
artist watched him while his eyes
drank in every detail from the can
vas No word was spoken save a
suppressed whisper Of establishment
from the Colonel. That whisper was
the name Constance. His gaze was

view of affairs, and wisely decided not
to remain near the girl who, he knew,
loved him as fervently as he did her.
This difference of opinion as to what
he ought to do led to some words be-
tween the two friends and Claude, who
was of an impetuous nature, left Men
tone abruptly and without bidding
anyone goodbye.
And now his friend had followed
him across the Atlantic for the ex-
press purpose Of taking him back to
his lady-love and never was a messen-
ger more happy in the fulfllment of
his mission. But still the Thought of
Constance's poor condition of health
worried the Colonel considerably,
though he strove to conceal his fears
from Claude.
On Good Friday evening the Ameri-
can liner "Paris" glided slowly into
her dock at Southampton and two Of
the first passengers to walk down the
gang plank were Colonel Bland and
Claude Remington. They took the
night express for London at once and
the next morning started for Paris Uia
Dover.
Scarcely resting in the French capt.

took train for the southeast and
towards noon on Easter Sunday were

Claude's spirits rose as he gradually
approached the place where Constance
was Everything was familiar to him
in Nice. The very hackmen recog-
nized him and touched their hats re-
spectfully. Many pour boire had they
received from the young artist during
his long sojourn in the fashionable re-
sort
On arrival at the Hotel Royale the
Colonel and his companion went
straight to their rooms, which had
been engaged by telegraph. Colonel
Bland then sent messenger to Mrs.
Blythe with note to the effect that
Remington was with him and awaited
the pleasure of an interview. A reply
was not long in coming and the bearer
Of it was Sir William Jowitt the ply
stefan in attendance on Constance.
The young lady, he said, was seri-
ously i'll, 80 much so that he would
have to deny Claude an interview un-
til she had been prepared to undergo
the ordeal They had extreme doubts
Of her recovery-her nervous system
was completely shattered. Mrs Blythe
was at her daughters bedside, scarcely
ever left her, in fact, except while the
sick girl slept AS soon as Constance
fell asleep she would be pleased to see

the lines of the mouth had look OF

1t was with deep drawn sigh that
he took from the mantel a long Ger

Europe. He filed the meerschaum

Turkish tobacco and leisurely applied
a match to the weed. Almost with
affection he handled that pipe, and a
more satisfied look crept into his eyes
as he watched the blue smoke curl in
circles from the bowl and ascend Ia

said that when you left our party so
abruptly in Mentone, you practically

Claude, nodding his head.
"And it also said that you lost heav-

keen eyes upon the young artist.

would not do that for gambling pur-

Claude laughed outright, for the
first time during the interview.

tent that her strength gave way. At
first Mrs. Blythe called it sentiment

from thoughts of her disappointment
by providing extra gaieties, recep-
tions, concerts and so forth, but it
was to no purpose. At Christmas the
poor girl had to take to her bed. Doc
tors prescribed for her in vain, until
Sir William Jowitt, the fashionable
English physician, learned the true
particulars of her case, and frankly
told Mrs. Blythe that the only sure
way to save her daughters life was to
permit her to conduct her own matri-
monial affairs. Constance is now at

emotions struggling within him.

Remington saw his friend to the
outer room and then returned to the
easel, before which he stood for sever
al minutes in deep silence. But there
was an added brightness in his eye,
and a warmer glow upon his cheek,
and when, a little later, he COM
menced humming an old italian bal
lad it was evident that the heart Of
the artist was more at ease than 1t
was prior to the Colonel's visit.
Colonel Bland was q Baltimorean
who resided three parts Of the year
In Europe. He was very wealthy and
a widower without children. When
Claude went abroad to study, the Col
onel was one of the first Americans
whom he met in Paris. Their ac-
quaintance ripened into warm
friendship and the elder gentleman
took lively interest in young Rem
ington's successes A lover of art,
though not himself an artist, he be-
came an enthusiast In Claude's work,
and accompanied him on many ram
bling tour in search of the beautiful
and picturesque bits of scenery that
abound in France, Italy and Switzer-
land. For year and a half they were
constantly together and when Claude
met his fate in Constance Blythe the
Colonel was his young friends confld-
ant and did his best to bring about q
match. But the pride of Mrs. Blythe,
who came from an old Bostonian fam
lily, proved an unsurmountable barrier
to union, and the Colonel was bitter
