SHORT COURSE IN AGRICULTURE.
Will Be Largely Attended at Madison the
Coming Winter.

The coming term Of the Short course
in agriculture, which begins Dec. 5,
and closes March s, promises to sur
pass all previous terms in attendance
and character of the work outlined.
One hundred fifty young men have
already declared their intentions of
taking the course and have been duly
enrolled as students. Applications
will be received at the Office until the
opening Of the term. All students
must register in advance, and it is adj
visable this year to register early, as
the college may be obliged to limit
the number, and students will be ac-
copied in the order of their applica-
ton.
The character of the work is of such
a practical nature and so beneficial to
those who attend that the Short
course in agriculture has become one
of the most popular courses of the
university.
The new illustrated circular describ-
ing the course is now ready fol
distribution and can be obtained by
sending request to r. A. Moore,
Madison, Wis.

INVITATIONS OF "UNEEDAr BISCUIT.
United States Circuit Court Grants Iniunc-
ton Against "Iwanta" Biscuit,

ton Against 'lWanta' Biscuit.
An injunction which applies to all
the numerous limitations OF "Uneeda"
Biscuit, has just been granted by the
United States Circuit court, for the
southern district of New York. against
the use Of the trade mark ''Iwanta"
which was applied to a biscuit which
the court decided to be an infringe
ment upon the trade mark .'Uneeda. ;"
the biscuit made SO widely known by
newspaper advertising.
In his opinion, Judge Lacombe re-
marks that the case is too plain to
waste many words over. That
"Uneeda'' as applied to biscuit, is a
proper trade mark, and that complain
ant is entitled to its exclusive use in
that connection, is hardly disputed.
That it has been most extensively ad-
vertiSed, presumably at great expense.
is matter OF common knowledge. The
court refused to accept the plea OF the
defendant that with the word
"Uneeda" before him. his device to
avoid confusion was the adoption of
the word ''Iwanta"
There are, as usual. a number Of
minor differences between the forms
and the dress Of the two packages.
but no one can look at both packages
without perceiving that there are
strong resemblanceS which could
easily have been avoided had there
been an honest effort to give defend
ants goods distinctive dress.
The opinion closes with the COM
ment that both name and dress are
clearly calculated to mislead, and the
statements that both were adopted
with an eye single to differentiation,
strain the credulity of the court
beyond the breaking point"
Preliminary injunction was granted
against the use of the trade name
"lwanta" and of the present style Of
package. Also against all similar
limitations of the 'Uneeda" name and
package.

Many are the legends and superstitIons
connected with the holly. Old authors
write of the tree as the hulwer and the
holm, while in our old ballads 1t is nearly
always the hollin-tree. 1t is as the holm
that Spenssr includes it among the trees
that grew in the forest where Una and her
gentle knight sought covert" Coles, in
his quaint Herbal" tells us that the
smaller branches Of the holly may be used
la decorating houses and churches, and
that those of larger size are very nee
essary for carriers to make whips and for
ridlng-rods q" and which may seem lit
tie strange" 10 the reader who knows no
better, zone of his friends had a holly
tree growing in his orchard of that big
nesse that being cut down, he caused it
to be sawed out in boards, and made him
self herewith a coffin, and" If Mr.. Coles
mistakes not, left enough 20 make his
wife one also" Both the parties" he
adds, were very corpuIent, therefore the
reader may imagine the bignesse of the
tree.
In some parts OF Yorkshire, curiously
enough. to this day, 1t is believed that il
more ivy than holly is used in the Christ
mas decorations the wife will wear the
breeches'' for the ensuing year. An old
farmer was once seen pulling down the
ivy with which the kitchen was decorated.
"Ill ha' moan O. this" he whispered to
his squire In Yorkshire, too, they have
the beautiful superstition that Christmas
is the one feast Of the year in which the
fairies may rejoice; they may hear the
Holy Name without having TO fee and
hide, and they have been heard to join in
the carols. once little ef-child, we are
told, was forgotten by some mischanee,

A PROTEST FROM SANTIAGO.
PEOPLE WANT TO KEEP MONEY

Many Petitions viii BE Cabled to
Send Customs Receipts to Havana.
1t Was SPANS Capitalization OF
Money There That Brought ON
Most of Her TroubIe-Gen. Wood
Is Much Annoyed.
Santiago, Cuba. Jan. 2.--An order has
been received from Havana which. if en-
forced. will mean in the judgment of the
official classes here serious injury to the
province. This is direction to transmit
the entire customs receipts each week to
Havana. Compliance with such instruc-
tons would involve the abandonment of
many necessary public improvements, es-
pecially in the matter of road and water
works.
Since the American occupation began
these funds have been used for such pur-
poses and have been the principal means
of meeting the necessary expenditures.
The Heraldo says that to carry this order
out would rob 10000 Cubans of employ
ment most of whom would probably take
90 the hills and become bandits, having
no other recourse.
Robert T. Mason, British consul at San
tiago, says it was Spain's practice of mon
etary Capitalization which caused most of
her troubles in Cuba.
Gen. Leonard Wood. United States mill
tary governor of the department, on being
asked to express an opinion respecting
the order, declined to be interviewed5 but
it is reported that without offering any
criticism of the policy which dictates the
order, he has shown his annoyance at the
possibility Of a stop being put to the good
work being done in the province.
The local taxation fund is barely suf-
ficient to meet the expenses of the city

provements; and the customs receipts are

Popular excitement over the order is
growing among all classes The Chamber
of Commerce, the Sons Of Veterans, the
Supreme Court and the San Carlos Club

each organization will cable to Washing
ton an earnest protest against what IS
described as the suicidal policy of cen
tralizing money at Havana"

GILLETT MAKES COMPROMISE.
Cattle PIunger's Creditors said to
Have Accepted settlement.

Cattle PIunger's Creditors Said to
Have Accepted n settlement.
Ell Paso, Tex, Jan. 2-Charles F. Hunt,
a wealthy cattle dealer of Texas and pro-
prietor of the Palacie Hotel at Chihuahua,
Mex, has announced that he has succeed
ed in effecting a compromise between
Grant C. Gillette, the fugitive Abilene,
Kan, cattle plunger, and his creditors.
Gillett has been in the vicinity of Chi
huahua for over a month. Through his
attorney. c. r. Troxel, Gillett unbosomed
himself to Hunt who went to Kansas
nounced that he had offered the creditors
$4,000 cash and that they had accepted
the offer.
Hunt declared that the deal for the COM
promise has been practically closed. 1t is
said the young piunger will profit by the
compromise, as Hunt estimates he took
$4,000 with him to Mexico in his hand
satchef and receiving $4,000 more from
the United states on Christmas day by ex
press.
He owns 200 head of ordinary cattle.
but just where they are his creditors do
not know. He also owns 200 head of fancy
bred cattle valued at 500 each. His home
stead is said to be in his mothers name
and worth 100000. 1t is in order to be
able TO realize on MS property that G1llett
is willinglto surrender $4,000 to his credi-
tors, thus escaping prosecution.
1t is said Gillett found refuge on a
ranch about sixty miles southwest of
Chihuahua. Gillett soon wearied of his
new life, and made frequent visits to
Chihuahua, while he was in constant COM
municauon with TrOxel who had fallen
in with Hunt. Troxel purchased an in
terest in the Palacio Hotel, and 20 while
away the time became its assistant mana
ager. Hunt went into partnership with
Gillett for the shipment of the cattle 20
Cuba. The firm had plenty of capital ami
did quite a large business. AS many a.
$500 head were shipped weekly. TroxeI
acted as Gilletts agent in these transac-
lions and their association led to the
negotiations with Gilett's creditors.

ITALIAN TITLES.
They Are Cheap. and Not Highly Es-
teemed at Home.
From the London NAH.

teemed at Home.
From the London Mail
Throughout Europe italian titles OF no
bility do not enjoy very high reputa-
ton, so much so, that as general rule
a mere Austrian baron is more highly cen
sidered than an Italian marquis. One ex-
PLANTATION of this fact Is that many of
these Italian mobiles with high-sounding
handles to their names are not In very
enyiahie financial situation. Many aston
founding instances may be cited of Italian
dukes and counts who occupy the strang-
est positions abroad some are coachmen,
others are hotel porters, one Is an in
terpreter in a railway station, another is
butler in the family of an American mil
ionaire. In New York there is a well
known Italian count who has run an eIe-
vator for several years past. In Southern
Italy. where poverty is greater than i'm
other portions Of the peninsular, the great
noble families are compelled to resort to
the most extraordinary strategems to save
appearances. In Naples poor noble fam
nles have adopted a system of mutual
carriages and horses which Is somewhat
the expenses of a luxurious establishment,
generally four-in-hand, with coachman
and footmen; the carriage door, with the
various coats Of arms Of the different fam
lilies is alone changed, according to the
family which uses the carriage. On great
occasions these families draw lots TO see
which shall use the carriage and horses.
But strange fact is that now, when
so many noble families have become am
about to increase the price OF titles. In
future the man who wishes to bear
princes crown must pay 5000 to the gov
eminent; to become a duke 5000 Is suffi-
Client; for IS 900 one may be a marquis
and for a. 900 count; 81, 400 Is sufficient 10
become a baron, and 81 900 for the simple
prefix de" These figures apply only
TO the titles conferred by the king. But
besides these royal titles are the dignities
conferred by the pope, with which several
American merchants and business men
have. been honored. These papaI titles
are somewhat cheaper than those con-
ferred by the king. Az the vatican
brand-new count may be created for s., 400
and a marquis for $1,000. American anna
tours should take note of tins fact
Ii Is hardly necessary to add that the
proudN old Italian aristocrats look down
with the greatest contempt on these par
venu noblemen, whether created by the
king or the pope These proud Italian ar
istocrats Of ancient lineage, such as the
Colonna. the Borghese, the Orsini Rome
the sfrozzi Of Florence, and the Visconte
OF Milan, consider themselves vastly SUI
perior to the most ancient mobiles of France
and Great Britain, and the equals of most
royal families Some Of the old Roman
mobiles even claim direct descent from the
DAYS OF ancient Rome.

GOVERNOR PINGREE SWORN IN.
o. casiOn of a Big Social Function at
Michfgan's Capital.


Lansing, Mich, Jan. 2.-In the executive
parlors of the state capitol, Chief Justice
Grant of the Supreme Court at noon to-
day administered the oath of office to Gov
Pingree and the state officers-electt, A
large audience witnessed the ceremonies.
The inauguration reception of Gov Pin
gree, the new state officers and justices
of the Supreme Court held tonight at the
capitol, was one of the greatest social
functions ever given here. Despite coun-
ter-attractions at the hotels in the shape
of senatorial and speskership contests,
fully 5000 people passed through the line
of notables who were assisting the Gov
ernor to receive. Nearly all the members
elect of the Legislature wer present, but
NEITHER of the senatorial candidates put in
an appearance.
The senatorial situation remains un-
changed tonight, both the Burrows
and Pack factions claiming to be conf
dent of victory.
Late tonight the Burrows men show a
list of sixty-one names signed TO their
call for joint caucus to nominate SEN
ator Wednesday night, with eight more
names they claim will be added tonight
or tomorrow morning, as soon as the
members arrive. This, it is believed, set
ties the senatorial contest for Senator
Burrows, although the Pack men say
they will be able to control some of the
votes signed to the Burrows call.
