I'm FAVOR OF THE CENTAUR co.
Judge Adams Granted an Injunction
in the Ca.toria Case.

In the United States Circuit Court
Tuesday afternoon Judge Adams hand
ed down an opinion in the suit of the
Centaur Company, of New York City,
against Samuel w. Eslinger, of St.
Louis, the suit being for an injunction
to restrain the defendant from using
the plaintiffs remedy, "Castoria.'
It was stated in compliments bill
that the Centaur Company, of which
Charles H. Fletcher is president, is the
sole manufacturer of ''Castoria," and
alleged that the defendant had been
selling medicine in packages closely re-
sembling those of the New York firm
A preliminary injunction was prayed
for to restrain the defendants from in
any way pirating upon the complain
ants business. The bill averred that the
damages sustained were large, but
could not be estimated. The plea of the
defendant was that he had right to do
as he had done.
Evidence in the case was taken by af-
idavits. Judge Adams, without leav-
ing the bench, delivered an opinion in
which he denounced imitators of we'll
known medicines. He said the practice
was species of robbery and he would
grant the injunction sought.
The medicine "Castoria'' was at first
protected by patent and later by label
and trade mark The plaintiff claimed
that other decisions similar to the one
handed down yesterday have been Sc
cured in the Federal courts, cases being
innumerable in Chicago, Indianapolis,
District of Columbia, Texas and New
Jersey, in all of which the courts grant,
ed injunctions.
The attorneys in this suit were Sed-
don and Blair; of St. Louis, and F. H.
Scott, of Chicago, for the complain
ants and Michael Kineally for the de-
PENDANT. The preliminary injunction is
understood to settle the point of law
involved, but the question Of damages
will be adjudged when the case has its
final hearing.
The bottles of the original 'Castoria"
manufactured by the Centaur Company
bear the facsimile signature of the pres
ident, Charles H. Fletcher. on the label.
while the bottles sold by the defendant
company bore on the label the words
"Pitcher's Baby Castoria.' It is said
that criminal proceedings will follow.
and that several arrests may be made.

of State"
Effect of the Action.
The effect OF the action taken is to
completely renew the peaceful rela-
tons, trade, official, diplomatic, con-
sular, and in all other ways, between
this country and Spain. Following the
appointment of United States min
lister to Madrid and Spanish minister
to Washington, it is expected that con-
suls. will be sent to Barcelona and the
other large places in Spain where our
consular representations were suspend
ed by the war. At the same time Span
ish consuls will be appointed through
this country. For a time the trade and
navigation between the two countries
will proceed without treaty protection,
as the war put an end to the CONNER
cial treaty, but a treaty of trade, navi-
cation and commerce suitable to the
new conditions and the need of both
countries and also an extradition treaty
will be negotiated soon.

FOOLS LUCK,

Follows the true story of how Smith
got in with the Gaythornes and the Null
lers and all those golden folks up the
state.
1t was in Paris, in the quarter called
Latin, where, by the way. I never met
anybody who knew any Latin. 1t was
only three days after Smiths first arriv-
al among us that he went to Longchamps,
all by himself, to see the races. He tried
to persuade one of us after another to go
with him, but everybody had some good
reason, and it ended in Smiths going by
himself. This he did in a costume that no
doubt seemed eminently appropriate to
the occasion.
1t is important to note here that Smith
wen to the Longchamps races, dressed
In a light overcoat. a gray derby hat,
trousers of shepherds plaid, the check
thereof drawn to a rather large scale;
and that he carried big field glasses slung
about him, as if a good view of the rum
ming was a vital necessity of his business.
The make of his boots on that occasion
is also very important. They We're Bal

That same evening Smith appeared at
our Studio. dressed in this same costume,
though not so fresh, of course. as when
he had set forth earlier in the day.
How much did you win?" Pollard
asked him, entirely without salutation or
preface of any kind.
"Win? Don't ak to me about WIN
ming. I'm scared to DEATH" Smith said.
His eyes, when you got the light on
them, certainly did seem to be popping
out of his head.

He pulled out of his pocket a thing
that looked like a silk sack and flung it
down on Pollard's leather trunk.
That's scared me. Don't touch
