A Rare Compliment.

Claude Briggs is in receipt of the sub
joined letter from his firm, which nat
urally makes him feel very proud. Mr.
Briggs has shown remarkable push, en-
ergy and tact on business lines, and il
gives THE HERALD pleasure to reproduc e
the letter, which is dated at Portland d g.
cember 30:
Claude Briggs, North Yakima.
Dear Sir: We want to say, Briggs,
that your report which you turned in
lately covering the seventeen sales has
proven to US conclusively that you are
one of the best piano men on this coast
and we are going to announce this fact in
rather public manner in some OF the
eastern trade papers, aud we are afraid
that in doing so it will cause all the diff
ferent manufacturers and jobbers east
and elsewhere to write you and make an
effort to get you into their fold but re-
member we have mortgage on you and
expect to hold you as long as You live.
Yours truly, THE WILEY B. ALLEN Co.

Double Blales.

On last Thursday night two accidental
fires occurred in this city which, il they
had not been promptly suppressed, might
have caused disastrous loss of property
and even life.
BY the dropping of some hot Goals in
the superior court room a fire was started
in the mating on the floor hut fortunately
it was discovered in time to save the
property and the prisoners in the Jail
from possible cremation.
Thomas Lund's presence Of mind avert
ed another threatened catastrophe in his
brick building. While dining in the res
taursnt of Otter & Mechtel adjoining, he
heard an alarm of fire and the rush of
excited people from up stairs. Remem-
bering that he had left his little Lena
asleep. he rushed up to the room only to
find the carpet on fire near the bed on
which the child was sleeping. Mr. Lund
had wrapped towel around the electric
light bulb to protect the child's eyes, and
presumably the towel caught fire, and
dropping off, ignited the carpet.

Didn't Work Both Ways.

4 joke is told on one of the proprietors
of certain store in North Yakima that
will bear publication. A farmer hap
pened in while an animated conversation
was going on between the merchant and
a customer, the silver question being the
topic.
"Why," said the merchsnt, what do
we want with fifty cent silver dollars2
No, sir, none of that for me-"
Just then the farmer had paid for his
one dollar purchase with five dollar
gold piece, receiving four silver dollars in
change. Turning to the merchant he ex-
claimed
"Here, don't want none Of your fifty
cent dollars in change for my gold money.
Give me eight of them jockies. please,
for my four dollars change"
A light suddenly dawned on the mer-
chant, who replied with laugh: boys,
the cigars are on me. Let's smoke"

WILKINS GOES TO PRISON
End of a Celebrated Oleomargarine
Case.
The Convicted Man Violated the Law
by Removing Brands From Pack
and AccOmplice, Also Fined and
Sentenced to the Penitentinry.

Joseph wilkins, formerly an extensive
dealer in oleomargarine, in this city, and
Howard Butler, his clerk, according to a
decision rendered yesterday by the United
States circuit court at Philadelphia, must
each serve term of Imprisonment in a
Pennsylvania penetentiary, and pay fine
for having violated the law regulating the
sale of oleomargarine.
The two men were arrested in Philadel-
phia, at Pier "a, South Delaware Avenue,
on December II, 1896, on the charge of vio-
lating the revenue laws by removing GER
tain brands, otherwise the word oleomar-
garine, from packages containing that ar
ticle, and from thence on every effort has
been made to save them-even to the ex-
tent of offering to pay the Government
$40, 900 as a compromise.
Aside from this phase of the case, the
decision will be very far-reaching in its
effects. AS Chief Deputy Collector Will
lam ]. Milligan put it yesterday: 'It es-
tablishes beyond the question of a doubt
the legality of the law under which these
men were prosecuted, and will compel
dealers to sell oleomargarine as such and
IN no OIQer way. LII tulS instance the
parties named removed the brand, so that
they could sell the contents of the pack
ages without fear of trouble from the State
authorities, the law in Pennsylvania pro-
hibiting the sale Of the article at all. 1t
is great victory for the Government,
after such a long fight
Both men were indicted in Philadelphia
and were tried and convicted before Judge
Butler who then presided over the
United States Court. Wilkins sentence
was for an Imprisonment of six months, a
penalty of $1,000, and to pay the costs.
Butler, because of his being only an en-
ploye of the other man, was treated with
more leniency. He was given four months
in Jail, with fine of $500 and costs. Be-
fore the sentence was put into execution
the case was taken up to the circuit court
of appeals. Wilkins had engaged able
counsel, and when the matter was argued
in. March last the noted criminal lawyer
of this city, Hon. Jere Wilson, ap-
peared for the defendants. District At
| torney Beck represented the Government,
| and his argument was strong one. i,fia.
The circuit court in passing upon. the
| issue involved had to consider .: a snde-
murrer on the part Of the two men, the
main point of which was that the in
dictment did not Show an offence against
| the United States, and that while the act
OF Congress requires ssoleomargarine to be
ksold in certain kind of package it did not
specify how 1t shouldsbe branded, although
The evening times., 1899-09-22
MAYER & PETIT, sa1sath 4.s.4'5 =.

it did require branding and made it an
offence to remove the brand.
The opinion yesterday affirming the judg-
ment Of the district court was rendered by
Judge Burlington. He said in effect that
the act of Congress was one intended for
raising a revenue, that the regulation
which the Commissioner of Internal Reve-
nue. had formulated, with the approval of
the Secretary of the Treasury regarding
the character of brands to be used. was a
matter of detail the same as is exercised
in the printing of postage stamps, the form
of the United States coins, revenue stamps
ETC., and that the brand was intended as
a receipt for the payment of taxes, and
that the regulation had not duly the effect
OF law, but the courts were compelled to
take judicial knowledge of it.
Under the rule Of court the two men
have thirty days of liberty before the SEN
tence must be executed.
