NOT A SOUL SAVED.
The Steamer Portland Went Down With
All on Board.

The Steamer Portland Went Down With
All on Board.
PRov1NcETowN, Mass, Dec. 1.-The
steamship Portland, plying between
Boston and Portland, was swallowed
up by the sea in the recent storm off
High Head. OF all the ships COM
pany of over 100 souls, not one sur
vived, and the story OF the disaster
will never be told. Sixteen bodies
have come ashore, and it is not likely
that many more will be recovered.
The exact number of persons who
were carried away from Boston by the
Portland will probat ly never be known,
as no list of passengers was retained
on shore when the vessel left. c. T.
Williams, Boston agent of the Port
land Steamship Company, places the
total number Of persons on the steamer
at 100, or possibly los. This estimate,
however, is generally regarded as
rather small It has been stated that
the number was as high as 1856, but
Mr.. Williams denies that SO many
sailed on the Portland. It is proba BILE
that 100, including passengers and
crew, is near the correct number.

AS TRUE AS GOSPEL

Speak we'll Of your friend. Of your

He who says what he likes will hear

A mans manners are the mirror IN

Life Is no idle dream, but a solemn

stand to it; the night cometh when n

All brave men are brave in initia-

them to succeed where others dare not

when 1t leads to entire, .self-forgetful-

May Revive the Force BIli.

Washington, Dec. 1T is reported
that Senator Pritchard of North Caro-
lima will ask for the appointment of a
special committee to investigate the
riots in his state and recommend such
legislation as may tend to prevent a
recurrence. President Mckinley, while
a member Of the house, voted for the
force bill, which gives ground for the
belief that he would favor the enact
ment Of measure drafted on similar
lines. Some discussion is going on
among the presidents friends as to
whether he will in his message to con-
gress refer to the recent election riots
in North and South Carolina, and per-
haps make some recommendation in
the matter.

Washington, Dec. If congress-

vision for the increase of the regular
army it is quite probable that none Of

in Cuba. The troops first to be sent to
Cuba will be composed largely Of reg

able. Plans are maturing for the mus

THE HosTETTER co. WINS ANOTHER
CASE.
InfrinEements ON Their Bitters NOT

heterogeneous ON Their Bitters Not
Tolerated by United States Court.
The United States Circuit Court for the
Southern District of New York, Judge
Townsend presiding, handed down an opin'
ion December 23d, 1897, granting injunction
and accounting, in the suit of The Hostetter
Company against Isaac Sommers and Louis
Joseph, for Infringement OF its Trade Mark.
The lurist states, in bold and clear language,
the rights accruing TO the Hostetter Com
pany, and the liability incurred by all who
would rob them, by fraud or misrepresenta::
ton, of the well-earned reputation and
profits of business built up by the efforts
Of half century. The judge says, in part:
"The complainant is entitled to protec-
ton against the appropriation of It's, trade
mark, by any and all unfair and dishonor-
able means, and court of equity has pow
er to grant such protection 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 individual
manufacturer, who strives to acquire and
retain the fruits of industry and hon.
esty, and the field of keen rivals, seeking
to wrest from him the prize of the public
| goodwill, the inventive ingenuity of the
| infringer has conceived a great variety OF
devices for evading the established rules of
fair dealing. Courts of equity find
| ing that their ultimate object and effect
were to enable and induce the retail seller of
a fraudulent imitation to palm it off on an
dnsuspecting public for the genuine article,
md thus to contribute to the infringement
upon the rights of the original owner, have
| not hesitated to apply the remedy"
