HOsrETrER CO. WINS A CASE.

InfrinEements on Their Bitters Not Toler-
sted by United States Court.
The United States circuit court for
the southern district of New York,
Judge Townsend presiding, handed
down an opinion December %, 1897,
granting injunction and accounting, in
the suit Of The Hostetter Company
against Isaac Sommers and Louis Jo-
seph, for infringement of its trade
mark. The jurist states, in bold and
clear language, the rights accruing to
the Hostetter Company, and the liabil-
ity incurred by all who would rob
them, by fraud or Misrepresentation,
Of the well-earned reputation and
profits of a business built up by the
efforts of half a century. The 1ulge
says, in part:
THE complainant is entitled to pro-
lection against the appropriation of its
trade mark, by any and all unfair and
dishonorable means. and a court of
equity has power to grant such protec-
tion whenever it is satisfied that an
attempt has been made by ingenious
subterfuges, to invade the rights OF an
owner of a trade mark. In
the sharp contest between the individ-
ual manufacturer, who strives to ac-
quire and retain the fruits of indus
try and honesty, and the field Of keen
rivals, seeking to wrest from him the
prize Of the public goodwill. the in
ventive ingenuity of the infringer has
conceived a great variety of devices
for evading the established rules OF
fair dealing. Courts of equity
finding that their ultimate object and
effect were to enable and induce the
retail seller of fraudulent imitation
to palm 1t of on an unsuspecting pub
lie for the genuine article, and thus
to contribute to the infringement upon
the rights of the original owner, have
not hesitated to apply the remedy"

RANGERS WANT A FLAG.
Texans Desire Their Emblem Now in
the Indiana State Capitol

Austin, Tex, June 3.-The Texas
Terry Rangers today opened their an
nuaI session in this city with some IS
members present. In addition to con-
siderable routine business, they took
steps looking to the erection of a mon
ument in the state capitol grounds here
and selected a site for that purpose.
They had a lively discussion over
communication setting forth that the
regimentaI flag, lost in the retreat at
Rome, Ga, in 1868, was in the archives
of the state capitol of Indiana, and
might possibly be secured in case the
legislature were memorialiZed for its
return. The discussion became very
heated at times along this subject, dur
ing which it was holly contended by
many that the flag is not a trophy of
war and ought to be returned without
any ado; that it had been found on
the battlefield by the federals and had
not been captured in battle Some of
the more conservative members stated,
however, that the rangers were in a full
retreat when the flag was lost in the
war, and it was hardly presumable that
the enemy knew whether they had
dropped the flag and did not have time
to stop and pick it up. OF whether they
had lost it.
It was finally decided to appoint
committee to write a history of how the
flag was lost and found, and present
it to the Indiana legislature, in the
hopes that that body would then Volun-
tarily return the flag.

BUILDERS UP IN ARMS.
chicago's New Ordinance Pronounced
a Hardship.

Chicago, June 3-Architects and
builders have declared war on the new
building ordinance. One objection is
the requirement of swinging windows
above the second story in all buildings.
The other is the requirement of the
consent OF all property owners in a res
ddence block to permit the erection of a
building for any other purpose than a
dwelling. Twenty buildings are delay
ed a result of this last provision
and Monday night an effort will be
made to amend the ordinance by re-
curing only the consent of the ma
jority of tie property owners.
As the law stands today any person
desiring to put up a business building
On a block where one-third of the struc-
lures are residences must secure the
consent OF every property owner in the
block II less than One-third of the
buildings in the block are residences,
he may build without consulting any
one.
In many cases one property owner
has seen a chance to secure compensa-
ton from the builder for his consent
and has refused to approve the pro-
9ect- That or some other consideration
has kept property owners from con-
senting to the erection of 20 business
buildings in the city. AS q result the
plans are tied UP in the city building
department and will not be approved
until unanimous consents have been
secured. To begin work on these and
remove future instructions the proper
ty owners interested have prepared an
amendment to the ordinance, which
they Will ask the council to pass, max

So many men have been killed while

was included in the new building ordi-
nance. 1t provides that in all buildings

of every window.

BACK TO HIS OLDHOME.
Family of a San Francisco Million
aire Broken Up by Quarrels.

San Francisco, June 3.-Yesterday
afternoon, through her attorneys, Bish-
op and Wheeler, Clara Sutro filed a pc
titicn In the superior court, asking that
she be allowed to withdraw from the
bond of her sister, Emma Laura Mer-
rift, who is at present guardian OF the
person and estate of her father
The sympathy of the people Is with
the brother and sister, who would have
their father restored to his old home
Considerable comment was occaSioned
when the old man was removed from
what was thought would be his death
bed to the home of Mrs. DR.. Merritt de-
spite the protestationS of other chill
nren. Years ago the suffering man
built the home from which he was re-
moved and daily watched his garden
ers as they worked among the flowers
and on the emerald lawns that sur
rounded It. The home was his pride
and strolling down its shaded walks he
spent the happiest days of his life. This
his son and daughter, who now wish
him back there, know, and they think
1t cruel, indeed when his mind cIouded
with age and the end that must come
to all, approached, that he should be
taken away to a home he loved not.
His removal caused the children who
would see him remain in the house on
the heights much sorrow. and they will
continue to grieve until the law re-
stores him to his home or time has eff
faced his memory.

GOLDEN JUBILEE.
Wisconsin Will Celebrate Her Semi
Centennial Anniversary.

Madison, Wis, June 3.-Wisconsin as
a state will be fifty years old next Tues
day and the anniversary of it's admis-
sion to statehood will be appropriately
celebrated on June z, and 8.
The ceremonies are being arranged
on a scale BETTING the interesting oc-
casion, and invited to participate are
the governors of all the states which
at one time with Wisconsin formed
the great northwest territory.
The celebration has been contem-
plated for some time by the citizens OF
Madison, and Governor Edward Scofield
has by proclamation declared Tuesday,
June z, the day on which the first ad-
ministration Officers were sworn in, a
legal holiday for the year 1898. The
next move was to secure funds neces-
sary to make suitable demonstration,
and this was easily accomplished The
legislature appropriated $1,000 ana the
citizens raised by private subscription
this sum to $40 900.
One of the historic points in Madison
and which at this time excites consid-
cradle interest is Camp Randall 1t
is proposed to have all the veterans or
the civil war rendezvous here during
the semi-centennial exercises. AT this
camp Wisconsin's quota sent to queu
the rebellion mustered In 1861. Ninety
thousand men at this historic point
swelled the ranks of the boys in blue,
and the remnant who survived the con-
f1ict and the after years will renew
their associations on the familiar spot.
During the celebration twenty reg1-
mentS of the old soldiers will appear on
dress parade, the procession passing
under the arches around the town
Another procession will be that of the
faculty and students of the university,
which will be attended by the college
band and six battalionS of cadets.
The committee has advices from
nearly 200 ex-members of the state
legislature in which they promise to
assemble in a body.
There will be several features under
the auspices of the Wisconsin State
Historical society. A reunion of all the
living residents who came into the
state before it's admission to the union
will be had. The several county his
torical societies of the state will meet
in a convention. A congress will be
held of the municipal and county Of
ficers of the state, and a wOman's con-
gress under the auspices of the State
Federation of Women's clubs will take
place.
Pioneer organizations of all sections
of the state have been invited. Current
events have inspired a war concert, and
that his been arranged. and Paine of
Chicago will entertain the Badgers at
night with an appropriate display of
fireworks. A boat race on Lake Men
dota between the university freshmen
and the cadets of ST. Johns military
academy has been placed on the pro-
gramme. The press and bar aSsocia-
tions of Wisconsin will also have
meeting during the semi-centenniaL

FISH LAW VOID.
Colorado's Game Law Declared To Be
Unconstitutional

Colorado Springs, June 3.-Judge Har-
ris has rendered a decision in which he
held that the game and fish law of 1897
is unconstitutional. The law provides
that any person having game of certain
kinds on sale or serving it at hotels and
restaurants is liable to a fine. Under
this law a number of restaurant keep
ers at Cripple Creek, who had shipped
in game from Utah, were arrested for
serving it.
The case which came up before the
court, and upon which the decision was
J. Waldman. The court ordered the
suit dismissed on the grounds of uncon-
stitutionality. Judge Harris held that
game, fish and forestry are the names
used in the title of the bill. and in the
subject matter of law, and that they
are three separate matters. while the
constitution plainly holds that only one
subject can be treated in a statute.

TOOK OUT THE WINDOWS
And the Doors to Force Tenants to Va
cate.

ST. Louis, June 3-Charles venzlaff,
saloonkeeper at PAS Manchester ave-
nue., resorted to a peculiar process to
compel his tenants, Alexander Mcguire
and wife, to move from the third floor
of the house at 2745 Manchester ave-
nue..
After several disputes, Venzlaff and his
wife, armed with the necessary tools,
went up to the third floor and proceed
ed to remove the doors and windows
Mcguire, who is a paralytic, protested,
but the saloon man was bent on clear
ing the premises, and continued the
work until all the doors and windows
were down.
That night there was a terrific rain
hail and electric storm, and another fol-
lowed the next night. Water did con-
siderable damage to Maguire's furni-
ture. Assistant City Attorney Meigs
