"HANDS OFF"
Will Be the Policy of Chairman Jones
in the New York and Other Num-
cipal Contests.

Washington, October S.-Senator j.
K. Jones, chairman Of the Democratic
RIs>+inr,e-l- cA-=.,,Aittna-- aaue- he will take
no part in the municipal campaign in
New York. He disclalms any respon-
sibility for the action of Secretary
Walsh in indorsing the candidacy OF
Henry George, merely remarking that
as an individual Walsh had a perfect
right to take whatever action he con-
sidered proper.
When asked as to what course had
been pursued regarding the situation
in New York, Senator Jones said: Il
do not think it within my duty to as
sumo any authority in this matter for
the national committee. AS the chair
man of the national committee l do
not propose to be drawn into it, for l
have no authority to speak for the
committee and it would be impossible
to act as an individual and divorce my
own personality from my position as
chairman.
There is no occasion for me to in
dOrse or disapprove the nomination of
either Judge Van Wyck or Henry
George"
In regard to the letter said to have
been written by Senator Jones to Sen
ator Murphy, in which he is reported
as advising against reaffirmation of
the Chicago platform by the New York
State convention, the chairman said
the communication sounded very much
like what either he had written or said
to some one in New York, but ne
said that if it was written, it was not
his intention of having it used as it
was used in the New York meeting.
Chairman Jones said he took the
general ground that the Chicago plat
form was binding upon every Demo-
crat, and that nothing any State or
municipal convention might do could
add to or take away from that plat
form; it could neither be strengthened
nor weakened.
Il believe" said the Senator. "as
firmly in bimetallism and the Chicago
platform as l did the day that platform
was adopted, and the battle of 1900 is
to be fought on the same line"

ply; that it be judged by it's
fruits, and the sterile be counted
vain; and the more so if, III
place of fruits Of the grape and olive,
it produces but thistles and thorns of
GisputatiOns and strife"
We have been led to these reflections
by considering the great opportunities
of disseminating useful knowledge and
Of promoting truth and morality which
are possessed by our religious teachers,
and which unfortunately are systemat-
ically neglected The thousands of
stately piles that have been erected IL
this country at immense cost by the
liberality Of pious benefactors are, as
rule, closed to the public, except on
Sundays. Amy day in the week we pass
a hundred Protestant, Churches and
find them empty, with locked doors.
The deyout cannot even, as in Roman
Catholic edifices, walk in to pass few
minut@ in private devotion.
On the other hand, on every evening
in the week hundreds of thousands OF
young people OF both sexes, after their
work is over, DO not know where to 90
or what to DO with themselves. Their
homes, perhaps, offer no inducements
for them to pass their leisure time
there. So they get out into the streets,
the lanes, and parks, and are subject to
great temptations. II the churches are
closed to recreation, there are other
places which specially provide it. The
theatres, music halls, and low dancing
and concert rooms, have always an
ample bill of fare,e too often coarse and
sensual, and the fashy glitter of their
surroundings is calculated to captivate
the young and inexperienced. The pGb-
lie houses and billiard rooms are also in
full swing. Everything that appeals to
our lower nature is placed before them
without stint. But the means Of in
telligent and elevating recreation are
comparatively rare. 1t is true there
are many public libraries and reading
rooms in parts, and the usefulness OF
these can scarcely be realized, but after
all, young people 90 not always want
TO read or sit in a room where they
must be still as mice. They like TO
gather together where they can see and
commune with each other. And We
ask, what places would be more fitting
for this than our chapels and churches?
There was a time when the church
was the sole, or almost the sole. edu-
Gator of the people, and when her edi-
fees were always open to all corners.
These buildings were not then regarded
as the privileged property OF few. but
the heritage of all. Nor were they in
vested with any extrayagant notions Of
sanctity. Public meetings were held in
them, the vestries sat there, schools
were taught there, and on rainy and
cold days the children played at mar
bles in their aisles and on their smooth
flag-stones. In the dawn Of tie dr4ma
ii was almost confined to these conse-
Grated buildings. Passion plays held
| the people in awe and taught them
scriptural incidents. As these degen-
Grated in character they were succeeded
! by 'm0ralities' or moral plays in which
the passions OF mankind. good and evil.
were personified, and played their parts
upon the church stage. All these taught

it was in a charge to recapture them
that he was killed, being shot through
the bowels. He only lived several hours
and his remains were brought Here and
buried with all the honors of war. Col.
Webster's death was severe loss, as he
was brave as a lion and fine disci-
plinarian. He was over six feet in
height and presented magnificent ap-
pearance on horseback: and he was uni
versally liked by the soldiers under
him. Had he lived he would have
quit the army in one of the highest
positions in a military sense. He was
born at Middleton, Butler county,
Ohio, December "a, 1924. In 1S41 he

Courts Office at Hamilton. He studied
law with Thomas Milliken, and in 1916

Clerk of Courts, the first under the new
Constitution, and he was reelected in
1854 He was a Democrat in politics.

PROTECTION ASSURED.
a Decision of the United States Cir
cult 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 Manufacturing compa-
ny, for infringing by imitation on their
Gold Dust Washing Powder package,
not only assures the N. K. Fairbank
company of protection, but also the
housekeeperS of the land. Hereafter
they will not be annoyed with the spur
iouS article sailing under the colorS of
Gold Dust Washing Powder.
Judge Lacombe in handing down his
decision sounded a warning to imita-
tors in tersely stated facts which have
equal interest for the housed keepers,
manufacturers and business men gen
orally. He said:
The judge who heard the case in the
circuit court was strong in the convic-
ton that there was not a similarity
calculated to deceive any buyer of or
binary prudence; that there was no
between the packages We are unable
70 reach the same conclusion. =
When it is borne in mind that articles
OF this Kind, when once they are gen.
orally known, become associated in the
pubic mind with the general appear
aEce of the package which contains
them, it is quite conceivable that a dis
honest retail dealer who kept complain
ants and defendants packages ming
led together on the same shelves, might
easily palm off the one for the other
upon an unsuspecting purchaser.
Business men of ordinary acuteness
who wish to establish a distinctive rep
utation for their goods with the general
public, certainly do not begin by as
Stimulating 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 a distinctive
dress, but in one reSem bling their COM
petitOr'S- And when it appears that
such competitor has expended upwards
of 100000 in advertising his packages,
that reason is not hard to find.
we have then the case of a manu-
facturer who is careful always to sell
its goods as its own, but who puts them
up in a style of packages so similar to
that used by one of its competitors, ear
Her in the market, that INSCRIPTIONS
dealers who purchase from the manu-
facturer in order to sell at retail to con-
sumers are enabled to delude a large
number of such retail purchasers by
palming off upon them the goods of the
manufacturer as those of its Compel
itor. That this is unfair competition
seems apparent, both on reason and au-
thority."
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. Fairbank company to
protect themselves and their patrons
from numerous fraudulent limitations
and though imitation is the tribute paid
to success, in this case the housekeep-
ers would be the sufferers if the tribute
were not disdained. The Fairbank

QUEEN VICTORIA SUED.
Halifax Undertaken Wants Big Blu
rial Bill.

st. Johns, N. B., Feb. S.-Proceedings
IN a peculiar legal case have been insti-
tuted, the issue at stake being bill for
undertakers' services at the funeral of
the late Right Hon. Sir John Thompson,
premier of Canada.
The original bill was for $12, 694, and
was presented to the federal govern
ment by Gordon & Keith of Halifax
soon after the funeral in December, 1894
The government refused to pay the full
amount on the ground that the charges
were excessive, and RENTED 81, 233 to
the firm. Messrs. Gordon & Keith de-
manded the full amount of the bill, and
later brought suit against her majesty
the queen in the exchequer court of
Canada.
The case will be brought to trial after
a commission, which is now securing
evidence has reported. The commission
IS visiting many of the leading cities
for the purpose of having the bill sub
mitted to undertakers for their esri-
mate on the cost of articles furnished
for the funeral and value of services
rendered.
The commission is now in this city.
and, according to Undertalzers who have
examined the bill, it is about so per cent
in excess of what it should be-
