No man is better known or more gen.
orally beloved in the city in which he lives
than Prof. Adam Hendershott. Hisconversa'
ton is quite devoid of bitterness. Only once
was he ever known to say anything indicat-
ing even the slightest trace Of ill.temper.
Travelling downward on a suburban trolley
line to call upon a friend, he asked the con
ductor to transfer him to the city street
cars at a certain point.
Soon afterward the car stopped, and he
was surprised to see outside the very friend
he was seeking. lie started to leave the
car, but the conductor accosted him.
you can't change for your car here" he
said %brusqucly. go back"
The professor passed him, taking no no.
tice.
Cant change cars here, tell you,"
snapped the conductor again.
Prof. Hendershott, deep in conversation
whit his friend, merely waved his hand to
signify that the car might 60 on without
him.
"Here, you old jay!" cried the man with
the brass buttons angrily, don't | tell you
that you cant change cars at this station?"
The good old professor answered with Sc

ceipt A Suspension OF the Long and
short Haul CLAUSE.
CHICAGO, Jan, ll.-All the votes oil
the interested roads have been recorded
in favor of the agreement regarding
humeseekers' excursions reached last
week by the Western roads. Hereafter
during the months of January and
February none of these excursions
will be run into the territory OF the
Western Passenger association west o1
the Mississippi river nor north OF the
line of the Missouri. BY many of the
roads this agreement is looked upon as
the entering wedge that is to finally
enable them to DO away with these ex-
cursions altogether.
A joint meeting of the eastern II
western roads will be held to-day for
the purpose of discussing divisions OF
commission payments on east-bound
Canadian excursion business. The
competition of the 500 line has made 1t
necessary III VIC tOdttS w huNS va ~
derstanding regarding the matter.
The gross receipts of the Illinois
Central traffic for the month Of Decem-
Der were re, sos, 1893, an estimated in
crease of S4tS, SIT over the same month
of last year. For the five months
ended November SO the excess of re-
ceiptS from traffic over operating eX-
penses and taxes were IS, 597, 91S, an
increase over the excess of the CORE
spending months of last year of $780,
324.
The interstate commerce commission
has notified Chairman Caldwell, Of the
Western Passenger association, of the
suspension for one year of the long
and .short-haul clause of the law re-
garding rates into the kootenay dis
trict of British Columbia. The west
ern roads asked the suspension of the
clause on this business in order that
they might meet the reduced rates
made by the Canadian Pacific into the
territory.
Passenger rates between Chicago and
and st. Paul are now in q
better condition than they have been
for Il long time. A careful test Of the
market has been made by the chair
man of the Western Passenger associa-
ton, and it has resulted in the finding
in the offices of the brokers but two
issued at cut rates, and both of
these We're over the same road. THIS
is the best showing that the Chicago
st. Paul roads have been able to make
inside Of three years.

"A MedaI-Drovo Two street Car Robbers
On-Went to the Rescue of the IC0nduc-

PEELED the obber to Heat a RETREAT,
IL Then tainted.
Chicago {, Jan. 1.-Two men who
Sunday night, tried to rob Conductor
Walter %Symington, of Il Blue Island
avenue cable train, were foiled by u
woman passenger, named Miss Sadie
Williams. Besides Miss Williams there
were three other passengers another
woman and two men-and the grip
man. Neither the male passengers or
the gripman went to the help of the
conductor, who was having a desperate
fight with the robbers inside the car.
Just us the robbers were getting the
best of the fight Miss Williams o.
cluded to take Il hand. Grabbing her
long hat pin that fastened her hat to
her hair, she madea lunge with the pin
on athe robber nearest her. All her
strength was lent to the thrust, and the
man screamed with pain. He released
his hold ON the conductor and turned
on Miss Williams. She struck him
again, and he quit the fight. Miss
Williams went for the next man, and
she made a thrust for his eyes. The
point of the pin struck his cheek.
Take her off, cried the robber. lie
turned to look for his companion, who
by that time was on the platform,
making ready to jump. lie was asked
to come back, but he did not. Mean
time the young oma was striking
for more vital parts than his face. She
reached with her pin for his stomach,
but his thick clothing saved him. The
conductor was then bleeding and in a
h~alf-dazed condition. When he came
to his senses there were but two pas
sengers on the ear. The other passen-
gers, whose names could not be learned,
had gone. So had the robbers.
When the excitement was over and
the robbers had disappeared behind
some buildings Miss Williams replaced
her hat and then asked the conductor
If he vas hurt, He was not. Then
she tainted. She was soon revived,
however, aud escorted TO her home.
Miss Williams resides with her parents
and is employed as an umanuensis in

The president stands firmly in IA

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
md accounting, in the suit of The Hostetter
COMPANY against Isaac Sommers and Louis
Joseph, for infringement Of its Trade Mark.
The iurist 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 a business built up by the efforts
of half a century. The judge says, in part:
1.-THE complainant is entitled to protec'
ton against the appropriation OF it's trade
mark, by any and all unfair and dlshonor-
able means, and a court of equity has pow
err 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
i%nfringer 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 of OF an
unsuspecting public 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"
