FRAUDULENT CURIos
"a Bona Eide Collection OF Any De.
scriptiOn II Now Hard to
Obtain

~ y
The hunter Of curios needs careful
training If he is to build up a bona fide
collection. This is. not so easy as it
seems, for the imitation of curios has
been brought to an art of itself. There
are certain factories in Europe in which
all kinds of works of art that are likely
to interest the collector are manufac-
tured. The stamping of China with old
marks, the treating of arms and armor
with acids to make them look ancient,
the staining of carved worries with oil
to make them yellow, and their sub
lection to heat to make them crack, are
all so cleverly done as often to deceive
the expert. The man who is engaged
to drill holes in imitation of worm
holes in pieces of furniture is almost
an artist, and in Hungary there is fac
tory where fairly passable imitation
of Dresden china is made Science has
been enlisted to carry out one of the
most profitable branches of this taking
of curios. There has lately been dis
covered a disease which eats away

antiquity. All old metallic objects in

IN FAVOR OF THE CENTAUR CO
Judge Adams Granted an Injunction
In the CaxtoriA 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.
Lou the suit being for an injunction
to restrain the defendant from using
the plaintiffs remedy, "Castoria.''
1t was stated in complainant's 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-
fidavits. Judge Adams, without Ieav-
ing the bench, delivered an opinion in
which he denounced imitators of WE'LL
known medicines. He said the practice
was a 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 FederalSourts, 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 Kineauy for the de-
fendant. The preliminary injunction is
understood to settle the point of law
involved, but the question of damages
will be adjudged when the case has it's
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
s"Pitcher's Baby Castoria." It is said
that criminal proceedings will follow,
and that several arrests may be made.

A Japanese Girls Wedding.

Marriage in Japan is only a civil con-

and social obligations. The church and

in marital affairs. The chief peculiar
tty about the ceremony is the exchang-
ing of cups of sake "a liquid) nine
