before the time that Senator Wiley

States that brilliant orator aud incom

dicted on the same floor that the time
would come when there would be a
partition OF Virginia, aud most likely
through the splitting OF blood, but In
any event it would be accomplished,

Col. Lang then reCounta the trials and
difficulties that had TO DO surmounted
before the state was finally admitted

This was on Friday afternoon. On

These reflections are inspired by
glancing over tho pages Of remarkable
volume written by Theodore F. Lang,
major Of the Sixth West Virginia cav
airy, and brOVst colonel, entitled Loyal
West Virginia from 1861 to 1860" Its
work that no man, especially tue
young man, eau afford 10 be ignorant Of.
While 1t is mainly military in it's scope
it has enough OF civic history within
its pages 10 impress the reader with
the importance OF actions Of those men
who we're, for all they knew at that
time, but running the same risk that
stood la the shadows OF the sigReFs OF
tho Declaration Of Independence. It's
book that very nearly approaches tho
character OF textbook. The opening
chapters treat OF the passage OF the
ordinance OF secession by the Virginia
legislature, and the return OF the dOle'
gates from the counties now comprising
WeSt Virginia, to be received by their
constituents with open arms. As Col.
onsl Lang SAYS, "thO treason at Rich.
mond furnished an abundant incentive
to the west to assert its dignity aud in.
dependence. The triumph Of secession
upon the James naturally led to tue
triumph Of loyalty among the noun.
tame" The echo OF tho guns OF Sumter
had not yet died away among the Ale
rhcniGS until tho patriots OF western
Virginia had made preparations to stick
to the Union. In those days it took
more courage to spouse that cause in
this section than can DO properly re.
allied a. this day. While that sonti-
mont was strong in Wheeling there was
u large elomons that was against it, and
another element secretly sympathizlng
with tho ConicdoraCy while showing no
enmtty towards tho Unionists. They
wero really the moro dangerous, and

RIGHTS To LABELS.
Substance of the Decision by Judge
LacOmbe.

NEW YORK, May 23-Proprietary right
in the style of label or package adopted by
d manufacturer is in a measure affirmed in
a decision which was handed down by
Judge Lacombe in the United States cir
cult court today.
The case in question is that of c. Garcia
CUervo against a cigar company. The plain
tiff some time ago procured temporary
injunction against the defendant because
the cigar company put up its cigars in box
es ornamented with labels closely re-
sembling the trademark which designated
the compartments goods that it was diff
cult to find any variance between them.
After being enjoined the defendants search
ed the stock of certain photographers, who
get up designs, and' Selected labels with
many points of differences, but resembling
them in the general make up.
Judge Lacomoe says that in spite of afIi-
davts to the contrary it is his opinion that
the defendants still sought to deceive. He
adds: 1T is apparently so easy for one who
honestly wishes to sell his own goods, as
his own, to dress them in such a way that
they may be recognized his own, that
when he offers them to the public in a
dress sufficiently like his neighbours as to
deceive the average consumer, courts
naturally suspect his notions to be what
his actions Indicate"

Instruction Given New York's Prcsby-
terry Regarding Divinity Students.
PITTSBURG, Pa, May 23.-The devo-
tional services of the Presbyterian general
assembly, at the opening of the seventh
day of its session, We're conducted by Rev.
Irwin NJ. Mudrow, a colored minister from
Cheraw, S. c.
The question of the relation of the stu
dents of Uniol: Seminary to the presbytery
of New York came up on an overture from
that body. A long opinion was read, and
it was recommended that the presbytery
of New York be instructed and enjoned
not to receive students who are pursuing
or who propose to pursue their studies in
seminaries not approved by the general
assembly.
This motion was carried by large vote,
and in announcing the result. Moderator
Booth said that New York presbytery
would note the instructions given by its
superior authority, and would obey it's or
ders. The opposition to this action was de-
cided. but insufficient to affect the vote of
the assembly.
The day of prayer for colleges was fixed
for the second Sunday in January.
Judge William H. Jessup then took the
floor and read the report on systematic
beneficence. summarizing the gifts of the
church during the year to the various
benevolent purposes of its missionary and
other boards. He was followed by DR..
Rufus S. Green of Elmira. N. Y, secretary
OF the committee.

GENERAL MARKET REPORTS

Special Dispatch TO The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, May 23-The success of
I,ondon's settlements being assured, today's
cables from that center brought moderate
supply of commissions to the local repre-
sentatives of foreign houses, and estab-
lished higher range of values for all in
ternational issues. The damage to growing
crops reflected with reliable accuracy in the
steadily advancing tendency of the wheat
market was usedsby traders in rebuttal of
tie more favorable features of the 'specu-
lative situation.
Stocks were sold rather freely by the
room element. under the leadership of
prominent bear operators, but these eff
forts were attended with but small success.
The volume of business was restricted and
all offerings were quickly absorbed. Not
withstanding the plentiful supply of near
ly all classes of securities, the street is
unwilling to engage in any important ope-
rations on the short side of the market.
The market for foreign exchange was
distinctly easier in tone this morning, with
rates fully 1-32 below those prevailing
yesterday. This improvement was attrib-
uted to renewed buying for European ac-
count, as there were no significant changes
in general conditions. The industrial list
attracted the bulk of the days trading,
prices suffering in proportion to the vol
ume of business. Sugar opened strong at
lis, but yielded to liberal and frequent
sales for decline of per cent.
At the low level purchases for both ac-
counts were noted, and the price advanced
during the early afternoon to the opening
level. The destruction of the small-fruit
crop by frosts is said to have been so gen.
eral to materially reduce the anticipated
profits Of this company.
These statements are variously construed.
but what is perhaps the best construction
is that whatever the decrease in revenues
may be, the dividend capacity of the prop
erty will be unimpared.
DiStillerS was weak on early selling, which
eliminated with a IA per cent decline in
the price of the stock. Long stock has been
extensively marketed during the last few
days and on this account sentiment is less
hopeful than heretofore.
Chicago Gas was marked up fractionally
on the announcement that new frontage
bill had been successfully passed in the
lower house of the Illinois assembly.
The new bill is almost identical with the
being provision requiring the consent of
81 per cent of the property holders per
mile instead of per block, as in the pre-
vious bill.
A reaction in the wheat market during
the afternoon had beneficial influence
on the market for the Granger shares
prices being marked up on buying for both
accounts.
The street is inclined to favor the idea
that the short interest in the grain market
is entitled to the bulk of the credit for
the recent advance in wheat and that the
condition of the crops has been exag-
taxable signs of hesitancy, it is probable
that any activity at the present level, ex-
cept for certain specialties, will be in the
direction of Improvement

BREAD A. CENT HIGHER.
The Price IL Put Up by All Dealers
and Retailers.


The price of bread was increased 1 cent
a loaf all over 'towM yesterday, the con-
sumers who had feraIerly, paid 4 cents a
loaf at retail being called on for a nickel
This was brought about by the action of
the wholesale bakers increasing the whole
sale price from 3 to 4 cents a loaf. Con-
siderable Indignation exists among consum-
over the increase in the cost of food
that constitutes the greater portion of the
daily fare of many families and those ac-
qrainted with such matters claim that the
idea that bread cannot be made and dis
posed of at handsome profit at cents a
price. is ridiculous.
A grocer, writing to The Star says:
IF you will take a general view of the
-four question no good reason will appear
for the increase in price of bread. EOr
several years prior to the recent reduction
in price of bread flour was phenomenally
low-so low that many of the propretors
their enormous profits and only reduced in
consequence of the war waged by the friend
of the people-The Evening Star.
Now, the present rise in wheat is caused
by the usual spring boom that occurs every
year, and will subside within forty-tive
in the market, the boss bakers well
know. and. in view of the fact that they
made such large profits unmolested so lcng
l think they can well stand the recent rise
a few days longer. Moreover, does the adj
vance of Seventy-five cents per barrel jus-
tify them in charging the people an adj
vance of $40 per barrel, which the one
cent per loaf will realize? 1 nope The Star
will look into this matter in behalf of the
poor of the District"
