4 Mans Right TO Boil Dow1
His Name.

There are a great many curious
things that come to the attention Of
the State authorities and some puz-
zling questions are often asked Of the
officials, and this is especially toe
case with The Attorney Generals
cfice. There came the other day
request for q decision as to whether
man who had too many initials
could dispose of several Of them. The
young man, for he evidently had
been named after the war, had sew
eral Confederate generals names
given bim, and he thought two Of
these would be sufficient for his
uses. He asked whether it would
be illegal for him to do so, and
whether it would interfere with his
legal rights. Assistant Attorney
Townsend took the matter up, and
in friendly way wrote him that so
far as he could find there was no law
against the dropping of some of the
initials. He could not of his own ac-
cord change his surname or his given
name. In a word, he thought that
he could drop the ''P" from his own
initials if he so wished, but that he
had to keep the names Charles and
Townsend. The young man in ques-
ton had three long given names and
he wishes to abridge it by leaving
out one Of the initials.

Catarrh IN the Head

Is due to impure blood and can
not be cured with local applications.
Hoods Sarsaparilla has cured hun
dreds Of cases of catarrh because it
purifes the blood and in this way
removes the cause of the disease. It
also builds up the system and pre-
vents attacks of pneumonia, diphthe-
ria and typhoid fever.

A h.sIiING BUSINESS
Carried on by Syndicate Engaged In
Smuggling Chinese.

MONTREAL, April 6.-Recent arrests by
United States customs officials at Canaan,
VT, of several Cinnamon who had been
smuggled over the border have put the
United States officers on n track that has
yielded overwhelming evidence that this
kind of smuggling is Of "a most extensive
and far.rcaching character. Investigation
which followed these arrests have revealed
the existence of IA large syndicate that have
been engaged in the wholesale smuggling
OF Chinese for more than three years past.
Every available route has been used by
the smuRglers at one time or another, but
Just now the center Of operations is in tho
eastern townships Tho close proximity
of the eastern township counties OF tho
United States, and the many routes and
roads crossing the border, make OF these
counties n voritable smugglers' paradise.
In conversation with reporter this
morning, n United States detective, who
has been investigating this end of the
business for some months past, said: "The
general public have no idea OF the exten-
siveness Of this kind OF smuggling. Tho
business Is in the hands Of "a company
who control and do most OF the Chinese
pany Is located In Montreal. with branch
offices and nctive representatives in China,
Victoria, y. c., st. John, n. b., and Bos
ton and New York
The agents of the company in China
are regular drummers, who travel through.
out the Celestial empire drumming up
trade for their employers
1.-The Gilman en- are sent from Montreal
to different points of the townships, Sher'
brooke, Magoga, Coaticook, Stanstead,
etc, and never more than two or three nj
the same time and at the same place. AT
any one of these places there are Chinese
taundrios in the pay of the syndicate,
where the immigrants are given lodgings.
''In the meantime the Caucasian agents
OF the syndicate are keeping close watch
on the borders, and ut tho first oppor-
tunity call for their human goods, bundle
them into vehicle of some kind, rush
them TO the border and slip them across,
after having been paid the compensation
fee, which is usually 500.
"The expeditions are generally made at
night, and scarcely week passes but ono
ar two successful ones are reported. Un.
less the two sides of the line are watched,
this contraband OF human merchandise
can never be stopped"
