Lame Estimated Correctlx.

News comes from New York that MT. Neil, the cotton crop specuator, has dropped his estimate down to 6,600,000 bales. He started, it will be remembered, with prediction of 9,000,000 bale crop, and when Commissioner Lane took is- sue with him and told the people that he was faking them in the interests of the European speculators many newspapers and most of the planters ridiculed MT. Lane for taking issue with such high authority. MT. Lane had travelled through most of the south, however, and, his predictions of a crop of less than 7.0O0, 900 bales was not guess work. MT. Lane deserves the thanks and congratu- lations of every cotton planter in the south for his timely warning of the schene of the speculators and his whole some advice to the farmers to hold their cotton off the market,

ening them and it IS perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.

GREEN RACE,
Sentenced by Justice Jerome.

The Carter Medicine Company has been
engaged for the last month in running
down gang in this city who have been
making and selling counterfeit Of its
trademark "Carter's Little Liver Pills.
Notices have appeared OF several arrests
which the company has made. For week
past one OF these cases has been on trial In
the Court OF Special Sessions, before JUS
tices jerome, Jacob and Hayes. The pris-
oner was Thomas B. Hughes,a druggist at
No. 281 Tenth ave. On Wednesday the
prisoner was found guilty and sentenced
to three months In the penitentiary. In
delivering the sentence OF the court, Pre-
siding Justice Jerome said:
Hughes, the court after long and
careful trial, has reluctantly come to the
conclusion that you are guilty man. The
whole value OF many of these articles lies
in the trademark. Thousands and hum
dreds OF thousands of dollars are spent an
nually in placing them before the public.
II the public cannot rely upon these arti-
cles, then fraud is being practiced upon
them and upon the proprietary rights OF
those persons who own trademarks. New
York Is great commercial city and trade
MARKS are as important to this city as in
tegrity is to coiner. This Is class OF
cases which this court does not look upon
with any leniency at all. The sentence OF
the court Is that you be confined in the
penitentiary for term OF three months. y
The Justice also intimated that but for
the prisoners previous record and the fact
that he had been in Jail for some time, the
sentence would have been much heavier.

"Yours For acknowledgements.

AT the close of an editorial com.
pairing the vital statistics of Vermont
and Massachusetts,, the Boston Herald
says:
"The average resident of Massachu.
sets has about 10 chances of marriage
to nine chances he or she would have
in the state of Vermont; while if mar
riage takes place, the chances of its
continuance without divorce are about
twice as good in the state OF Massa-
chusetts as they would be in the state
Of Vermont. On the whole, it may
be said that if one wishes to live a
long and reasonably healthy life, and
has the choice presented to him OF
making his home either in the Bay
state or the Green Mountain state, he
had better choose the latter, ever tho
the risk Of divorce, if he is a married
man, is formidable compared to that
which he has to take OH this side of
the border line"
