Two Cases Developed on
Washington Street.
Led to An Inquiry by Super
intendent of Health.
He Found That the Brett Family
Had Been Decidedly Lax.

On Oct. ], case of scarlet fever was re,
ported at 497 Washington street, and
last Monday morning another case was
reported at 502 Washington street. This
led Superintendent of Health Chaplin 10
believe that there must be some common
cause for the two cases. On investiga-
tion he found that on Sept. 13, Ethel
Brett, who lives at 300 Washington
street, had been sick with what was sup
posed to te scarlet fever. The physician
who was called said that he would re-
port the case to the proper authorities.
The father W. V. Brett, told the doctor
that IL ne would not report the case, he
would send the child to Its grsndfather's
home on Chestnut avenue, South
Auburn. As the physician was not called
q gain to see the child, he supposed che
had been sent away. Dr. Cpapin and hig
assistant, DIR. king have since heard that
an older daughter, Grace, had been sick
with the scarlet fever, and hao, with
Ethel, played with the children at the
upper end of Washington street while
they were "p ceiling"
. Dr. King called at the home OF the
Bretts last Tuesday and saw Grace. lie
found she was "peeling," bot her par
ents said she was suffering with eczema.
The parents were asked as to the where
abouts of Ethel, and said she was with
her grandparents at South Auburn, but
her hands were as smooth as could be.
DR.. Chaplin drove to the home of the
grandparents and found that Ethel was
"peeling." DIR. Chaplin says the most
alarming feature of the affair is, that the
Bretts, who are cloak makers, have car
ried on their business during the entiro
time of.the sickness of the children. ana
further that some of the best families In
town are among the patrons OF theBretts.
DIR. Chaplin will use his utmost efforts
to punish those who are to blame In the
matter. There are several charges that
can be brought against the family under
the health regulations.

ALL OVER A NAME.
One Firm of Cigar Dealers Wants
Another Enjoined.
The Appellate Court Holds the Matter
Under Adyisemeni.

The bill in equity filed by the Row.
land Rose Company against Jesse r.
EDDY, Cooke q Company, was before
Chief Justice Matteson In the appellate
court today on a motion for preliminary
injunction. The complainants claim
that they have for several years been put
ting up cigars with the name of "Gilt
Edge" on the package, and that now and
for some time.past the defendants have
been putting up cigars In similar pack
ages with the same name upon them.
Attorney X. b. Comstock showed how
much similar the packages were and did
ii so well that Attorney Walter +. Angel
remarked "Yes, the revenue stamps are
also very similar"
Mr.. Angel, counsel for the defendant.
claimed that the cigars made by his
clients were the genuine Gilt Edge cigars
and showed that the manufacture Of the
Rose Company's Gilt Edge cigars had
been changed from one company to an
other and that the original company now
made his clients cigars. MIR. Lonsdale
argued that the defendants had been guilty
OF a colorado imitation OF the complain
ants package. Mr.. Angel argued that his
clients had the right to tell the truth In
whatever color of ink and style OF type
they saw fit.
The chief justice held tho matter of
granting the Injunction for advisement.

eulogy:
May 1t Please Your Honors:
Immediately following the death of
the late Judge Carpenter of this honor
able court the members of the Rhode
Island bar assembled and appointed a
committee to draft a suitable expression
of their respect for his memory to be
presented TO this honora bic court. Repre-
senting that committee l now come and
ask the leave of this honorable court to
have the minute prepared by them
placed upon the files ano spread upon
the records OF the courts of which he was
q member.
The mere formal performance of this
sad duty would seem Inadequate TO me
should / refrain from accompanying
their presentation with at least a brief ex-
preston of the impression Judge Car
penter during his life made upon me, as
a lawyer, judge and as man. during
an acquaintance al times intimate and al
ways friendly. which extended over the
whole OF his professional and Judicial
career, as also TO give prominence 10
some of his qualities and services, which

which he Yves held.

from the shock there remains for the

that which are pleased TO contemplate

The best materials for such portrait
