Florida boys have one kind of excit-

consists of catching the huge sea turtles

possible that Mr.. Glass may resign his

very likely be pushed by his friends for

Court Of Vital Interest to HOusekeepers.
The action Of the United States Cir
cult Court Of Appeals in reversing the
decision of the Circuit Court Of the
Northern District Of New York in the
case of the N. K. Fairbank Company vs..
The r, W. Bell Mfg. Company, for in

only assures The N. X. Fairbank Com
pany of protection, but also the house
keepers Of the land. Hereafter they will
not be annoyed with the spurious article
sailing under the colors of "Gold Dust"
Washing Powder.
Judge Lscombe in handing down his
decision sounded warning to imitatOrs
in tersely stated facts which have equal
interest for the hOusekeepers, manufac-
turers and business men generally. He
said:
"The Judge who heard the case in the
Circuit court was strong in the convic-
tion that there was not q similarity
calculated to deceive any buyer Of ordi-
nary prudence; that there was no danger
Of imposition by any similarity between
the packages. We are unable to reach
the same conclusion. When it
is borne in mind that articles of this
kind, when once they are generally
known, become associated in the public
mind with the general appearance OF the
package which contains them, it is quite
conceivable that dishonest retail dealer
who kept compliments and defendants
packages mingled together on the same
shelves, might easily palm off the one
for the other upon an unsupecting pur-
chaser.
"BusiLess men'of ordinary scuteness
who wish TO establish a distinctive
reputation for their goods with the
general public, certainly do not begin by
assimilating the elements Of their design
to those Of some one competing manu-
faCturer. When they are found doing
this it must be assumed that for some
reason or other they prefer to have their
goods arrayed not in distinctive dress
but in one resembling their competitors.
And when it appears that such competi-
tor has expended upwards of $500, 900 in
advertising his packages, that reason is
not hard to find.
ave have then the case Of manu-
facturer who is careful always to sell its
goods as it's own, but who puts them up
in style of package similar to that used
by one of its competitors, earlier in the
market, that unscrupuious dealers who
purchase from the manufacturer in order
60 sell at retail to consumers are enabled
to delude q large number OF such retail
purchasers by pslming off upon them
the goods of the manufacturer as those
of it's competitor. That this is unfair
competition seems apparent, both on
reason and authority"
Since "Gold Dust" Washing Powder
has held it's own IN every market as the
best cleansing compound made for all
purposes, there has been the necessity
for the N. K. Fsirbank Company to pro-
tect themselves and their patrons from
numerous fraudulent limitations, and
though imitation il the tribute paid to
success, in this case the housekeepers

would be the sufferers if the tribute
were not disdained. The Fairbank
"Darky Twins" on the "GoId Dust"
package are as familiar to the average
housewife as the face of the family clock.

Puts the House on Notice.
Washington. Jan. 29.-War between the
state of Massachusetts and Vermont ragged
for "a brief period on the floor Of the House
to-day, over allegations of railroad wreck
ing in those commonwealth. The com
batants were Messrs. Powers of Vermont
and Barrett of Massachusetts, and the oc-
casion of the strife was the consideration
of the report of the conferees upon the bill
providing for the incorporation of the pur-
chasers of the Atlantic and Pacific rail-
road. The provisions of the bill were an
tagonized by Mr.. Barrett who charged
that they concealed a gigantic scheme of
stock jobbery.
MT. Powers denied that there was any
thing of the sort in the bill and added
that If there had been any wrecking of The
road, as suggested by the gentleman from
Massachusetts,, it had been done by peo
pie in and around Boston. In this con-
nection he sarcastically referred to Mr..
Barretts congressional experience. which
he compared to that of a rose which
withered and wasted it's sweetness on a
desert air.
In reply Mr. Barrett gave the House the
history of the receivership of the Cen.
trail Vermont railroad, conducted by the
supreme court of that state, and extend
ing over period of thirty years. which,
he said was the most fragrant case of rail-
road wrecking the country had ever seen.
The report of the conferees was re,
jected by vote of rs to 1iS, and the con,
terees were instructed to insist upon The
retention in the bill of the House amend
ments, the principal one of which forbade
| the issue of stock, except for par value
received.
