GREAT LEGAL VICTORY.
Value of an HonOred Trade Name UD-
held by the United States
Circuit Court.

The California Fig Syrup Co., of San
Francisco, has just won a legal victory
which is of utmost public interest, as it
establishes judicially fact long recog-
nized officially that the name or the
title of an article is valuable property,
entitled to the same protection as chat
tells or commercial paper. The COM
pany mentioned manufactures an ex-
cellent laxative which has been extern
sively advertised and acquired a valu-
able reputation under the name Syrup
of Figs" or Fig Syrup" Trading on
the reputation of this remedy other
manufacturing concerns applied the
same name to laxative medicines made
by them. The California Fig Syrup
Co. took the matter in the United States
courts and obtained a permanent in
junction, of which the following is the
text:
decreed, that the injunction and restrain
ing order heretofore made herein be con-
tinued until final decree herein and to that
end that an injunction be issued as prayed
for in the bill of complaint herein, strictly
commanding and enjoining the defendants,

similar words or figures, or any colorado
imitation of such a symbol or mark, or
from making use of, in any way, in connec-
ton with a liquid laxative medicine the

any name whereof the words Fig Syrup
Co. or Syrup of Figs Co. form a part as
a business name of a company, or con-
Germ, or corporation engaged in the bust
ness of making and selling a laxative med
icine.'
This decision is of far-reaching i'm
portance to all manufacturers whose
products bear a recognized title, as well
as a protection to the public whose con-
fidence naturally rests in large meas
ure upon the name of the goods it buys.

An Old Lady Killed.

One day last week Mrs. Speight left
Newbern to visit her son Robert, who
lives three miles north of Union City.
Robert met his mother in an open buggy
at Paducah Junction, and together the
two started for the formers home.
When near their destination Robert
said to his mother: You are tired; let
me carry the umbrella a while" Mrs.
Speight handed him the umbrella, but
he missed catching the handle and it
fell between the horses feet, causing
him to run away. Robert and his
mother were thrown from the buggy,
the former having an arm broken, and
his mother killed almost instantly.
Mrs. Speight was between 20 and 50
wears of age

TENNESSEE STATE NEWS
Inportant Tax Decision.


At the instance of Comptroller King,
who had instructed county trustees to
advertise property of delinquents for
sale on June 1, and to sell same on July
l, Attorney General Pickle has rem
dered the following opinion:
AT your suggestion have examined the
act of 1899, with a view to ascertaining
whether lands shall be sold on the first
Monday in July next for the tax of 1898.
have concluded that land should be sold for
taxes of 1898 under pre-existing laws, and
not under the act of 1899.
Accompanying the opinion is q state
ment from Representative Bullock, who
was chairman of the house committee
which drew the bill. He states that it
was not the intention of the committee
which drafted the bill to have lands
assessed in 1898 sold on the first Mon
day in July, nor that the enlarged pen
atty should accrue on same.
Comptroller King had already held
that no extra penalty should accrue,
and the effect of the ruling of Gen.
Pickle will only be to place the time of
selling the property as it was in the act
of 1S97-the first Monday in September.

sake, girls, keep out of politics; and,
above all things, if you have home,
make it bright and beautiful. Let no
pleasure come between you and its
hearthstone; let no ambition lure you
from its door; let it be the sun, around
which two hearts, at least, shall wheel
in perfect peace and harmony, blossom
ing in its light, and making it a COM
plete system of happiness in the uni
verse of love.
Go slow, my dears, and take the ad-
vice of your mothers. Be sure to Guilt
vate the traits of character which all
true men adore. Modesty stands first;
gentleness. next; thoughtfu1ness for
the comfort and pleasure of others,
next; kindness, next; and on down the
line. If you get chance, study art
and music; and while you sweep the
piano keys, don't forget to learn how
to sweep with a broom; while you paint
pictures, don't forget to learn to make
pies. Know we that the road to mans
heart leads through his stomach, and
the path to his soul leads through his
eyes. If you would reach both, you
must have tidy rooms and an invit-
ing table. If you want to be loved land
you do, be lovable. 1t won't do to be
perfectly lovely one day, and perfect
ly hateful the next. There is nothing
so beautiful as an even temper, pro-
vided it is good temper. One good
sweet, Christian woman in a neighbor-
hood is worth more to that community
than fifty-two sermons, for she is liv-
ing sermon the year round.
The world cannot do without Won
girls; but before it claims you, let me
whisper word in your ears. Have all
the fun you can. Giggle and laugh as
much as you please. Dance, and skip.
and romp, and hop until your hearts go
"flippity flop" and the blood eddies in
your cheeks like the roses that bloom
In the spring ira la. Extract every
drop of sweetness out of every passing
hour. Sleep and dream, and wake and
dream again. Be happy now; for the
clouds of sorrow will lower some dav.
and some day the troubles of real life
will come. Yours truly,

John Wittenberg is under arrest at
Chattanooga on the charge of having
wrecked a passenger train on the Rapid
Transit railway on June z, when a
number of passengers were seriously
injured. The company has had detec-
tives working on the case since the ac-
cident and they claim to have secured
sufficient evidence to convict Witten-
berg. 1t appears that Wittenberg,
while drunk, had only a short time be-
fore been elected from the train of the
company and had sworn vengeance.

The man buying a pair of shoes
found the right one perfectly comfort
able and easy, the left one rather snug.
Its usually so,' said the salesman;
1.-THE left foot is commonly little big
ger than the right foot"
why don't you make the left shoe
a little bigger, then?" asked the custo.
mcr.
well, said the salesman, 1.-The diff
ference is usually not great, and it
might not be enough so that it would
be noticed in trying on shoes. And
then it is not so great but what the diff
ference in feeling of the two shoes dis
appears very soon. Ana then, too, in
some cases the mans right foot is the
larger, the man being right-footed in
this respect as men are sometimes left
handed, the reverse of the common
habit in the use of their hands. If shoes
were commonly made with the left
little bigger than the right, to fit the
majority of cases, they'd be worse than
ever when you hit a right-footed man.
So the shoes are made alike in size. a
man gets a pair that fit him comfort
ably to start with, and they adapt
themselves quickly to any slight diff
ferences in the feet

HORSE RACING At H|LO.
HOOPA WON FROM DEWEY IN
THE TROTTING.
Charlie Boy Won the Pony Race, Dolly
in the Saddle Horse Contest, Nix
Over Airy Head.

HILO, January 6.-Although it
raned all day Monday last, and
although every body who was bold
enough to go to the race track at
Waiolama got thorough drenching,
the horse races did not fail to be the
most interesting of the young years
sports Every body had an umbrella,
but ten times the umbrellas would not
keep the rain off. The races com
menced at about 2 p. m, the first num-
Der on the program being the first
heat LIST trotting race between Admir-
al Dewey, entered by VIM. Nanatta,
and Hoopa, by Rycroft. Although
Admiral Dewey made a hero of him
self during the past year, he was un-
der the weather this year and IIoopa
won over him by about a length.
Surprise, entered by his old owner,
j. p. Amaral, and Idle Boy, by c. II.
Brown, had the track next. a good
start was made, Surprise won, Idle
Boy following by about half length.
The second heat of the first trotting
race was between Mig. entered by b.
l.. Jones. and the loser in the first
heat. Dewey tried to retrieve his
former loss and won handsomely in
this heat. |. ERay entered Nut and
j. II. Wilson, Lathrop, in the second
trotting race, the latter winning cas-
lily over Mig.
The pony race was the most inter
esting event of the days sports. From
the start a good race was expected
and the public was not disappointed.
The entries were Charlie Bay. entered
by John Nierra: Second Come. by G.
aDJ l,N-
Eagan. Timothy had the start. Char
lie Boy following and Second Come
last. Timothy was short i'm the legs.
Second Come being entered to come
in second which he did. Charlie Boy
was first as usual. while Timothy was
fortunate to come in the third after
while.
Hoopa won over Dewey in the final
heat, showing conclusively that he
was the horse.
The saddle horse race was good
one having its humorous side. Dolly.
entered by VIM. Todd. came in first
an easy winner. j. f. Rocha's Lady
came in a good second, although Lady
had never been on the track. j. u.
Amaral's Grey was so far in the rear
coming in that some people thought it
was another race.
The final heat of the second trotting
race was won by Nut, necessitating
another heat to decide the race, which
was won by Lathrop.
In the extra trotting race Mig, own
ed by V, NJ. Fulcher, and driven by
b. L. Jones, won twice i'm succession
over c. +. Eagan's Airy Head" All
the losers are of course anNiously
awaiting the next race meet, when
they aver satisfaction and revenge will
be theirs.
