PROTECT USERS OF "ROYAL."
Baking Powder Company Wins Its Case
In United States Court.

The decision Of Judge Showalter in re-
cent case that came up before him sustains
the claims of the Royal Company to the ex-
elusive use of the name "Royal" as trade
mark for its baking powder. The special
importance of this decision consists In the
protection which It assures to the millions Of
Consumers OF Royal Bakinga Powder. The
excellence Of this article has caused 1t to be
highly esteemed and largely used almost the
world over. Its high standard OF quality
having always been maintained, consumers
have come to rely implicitly upon the "Royar'
brand Us most wholesome and efficient. II
other manufacturers could sell under the
name Of a we'll known, reputable brand, in
calcuable damage would be done to the pub
lie by the deception. The determination Of
the Royal Baking Powder Company to pro-
tect the users of the Royal baking powder
against imitators by q rigid prosecution Of
them makes such limitations of its brand ex-
tremsly rare.

THE GENEVA EXPOSITION.

The Swiss National Exposition, which be-

REBEL PLOT FRUSTRATED.
Chinese Lay Clever Conspiracy to Capture
The City Of Canton.

Mail advices received by reliable persons in
Boston from Canton, China, give details OF
an attempt to capture the city Of Canton by
secret organization for the purpose of estab-
fishing an independent government. The
writer says:
''The plot ripened Oct. II, when the atten-
tion OF the United States consul was
called to suspicious telegram from n
Hong Kong firm to its branch In Canton
concerning the shipment OF certain pack
ages. The authorities were notified and
the packages, which proved to be five bar
rels Of pistols and ammunition labeled
"cement,n were seized on their arrival.
On the same steamer from Hong Kong came
400 men, who expected to aid in the revolt.
The officials, however, captured 10 OF them.
The revolutionists had no weapons, but Ii
was learned that they were to be supplied by
friends entirely. This seizure of arms and
the capture of those implicated thwarted the
attempt and the authorities are now making
diligent search for the leader as well as for
more weapons. II IL said that there are
thousands In sympathy with the movement.
The Hong Kong papers speak OF 1t as ''pa-
triotic movement" and worthy OF support
"The plan OF the organization, which Or
ginated In Hong Kong, was first to capture
the city treasury, next to demolish the VIC
eroy's palace. and then storm the city. They
next expected to proclaim an independent
government and to take measures to hold the
city.
"The movement has involved the Christ
ians to considerable extent, and great ex-
citement prevails. especially inside the city
near chapel. which had been used, un-
known to missionaries as sort OF rendezvous
for some of the conspirators.

distributed to consumers stand In the way of
new orders, and competition OF producing
force largely exceeding the present demand,

business yet more. After the holidays men
look for larger demand. Financial infiu-
ences have not hindered, and rarely has the
opening Of session OF Congress affected
business so little.

into the little village, two of them going di-

were stationed on the street to keep guard.
One OF the robbers az the store pointed a
rifle and overawed all those present, telling
them to turn out their pockets, while his

Armenians Fortified in zeitoun Awaiting
Their Enemies-The Sultan Fears
Deposition.

Turkish Officials aic apparently dolrg
everything possible TO suppress news from
the provinces except that which is favorable
to the government. The utmost secrecy is
observed regarding the movements OF the
Turkish troops operating from Mnrash ON
Zeitoun, and as the latter place is now re-
ported TO be garrisoned by quite an army OF
Armenians, the complete silence es to what
IL going on In that district causes much In
terest, us well as considerable anxiety for the
safety Of the Armenans, although the Turk
ish commander has been doing everything
possible to induce the insurgents TO sur
render.
II Armenian reports are to be believed, the
Turks will have to lay siege TO Zeitoun be-
fore they will have any chance Of capturing
the town, which IL said to be well supplied
with provisions and ammunition. On the
other hand. the Turks profess TO believe that
the Armenians OF Zeitoun will surrender on
the appearance OF the sultans troops.
In response to the Sultan's personal ap-
peal, the Gar has waived Russia's claim for
the passage OF second guardship through
the Dardanelles.
Il is learned from a Trustworthy source
that the Sultan Is In hourly fear OF deposit
tion. His courtiers warn him that the powers
have decided upon this action, and that they
want the second guardship admitted to the

population here, and that serious rioting was

THREE LABoRERs WILL DIE.
Remarkable Occurrence in a Sugar Re-
hnery,

Three men will die as the result OF a re-
markable accident In the Mollenhauer sugar

were ordered to begin work IN the under
ground charcoal pits which, when In active
operation, are generally closed.
Five men went into the pits, which are 20x
80 feet In extent, the roofs being Ig feet above
the flooring. As the thick fumis of the char.
coal, which had accumulated for several
days, struck the men, they fell down insensi-

The two men nearest the sunken door
were pulled out and revived after time,
and went to their homes very Ill. Fellow
workmen broke the windows from the out
