GREAT LEGAL VICTORY.
Value of an Honored Trade Name Ups
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 ethically 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 permanent in
junction, of which the following is the
| text:

cuItivntins Sugar Beets.

In the early cultivation the ground
should be stirred as deeply as possible.
To accomplish this without covering
the plants the ideal implement would
be cultivator with numerous long,
hooked teeth, not more than an inch
wide, one of which might be called a
cross between harrow and culti-
vator. Such culticators are now ON the
market. After the beets have become
larger a cultivator with broader shov-
els may be used in order to cut the
weeds more effectually, but deep work.
ing of the soil should be carefully avoid
ed, after it has become filled with the
feeding roots of the crop. The after
cultivation should consist in keeping
the ground free of weeds and keeping
the surface loose, both points being
necessary to the preservation of the soil

Test of Good Farming.

II believe that no man can claim to be
a good farmer who does not maintain
the fertility of the soil" says Waldo f.
Brown, 'and that to do this the best
way is to keep as much stock as will
consume most of the grain and rough
food produced on the farm. To get the
best results in winter feeding, some sue
culent bulky food is needed, and so
silos have multiplied. But the small
farmer often thinks he cannot afford to
build one, and have found that by the
use of beets and sorghum the silo is not
necessary. To get the most fertility
from our stock, we must save all the
liquid manure, and so l have adopted
cement floors in all of my stables and
have found them very satisfactory"

SOME ODD UMBRELLAS.
Europeans Take More Pride in Their
Rain Protectors Than Do PeO-
pie of This Country.

Many curious umbrellas are made.
Ore have seen can be taken apart and
put in ones pocket. The stick is of
wood about an inch in diameter. The
cover can be turned inside out and
folded into small bundle. By touch
ing a spring the ribe come off, straight
en- out and may be placed in the hol-
low of the stick, which is then a very
presentable waking stick. 1t is found
very convenient by its owner, who is
drummer. Another is still more in
genious. The handle is curved, and
when spring is pressed a pipe flies out.
The ribs are slowed away in the cen
ter and the owner has walking stick,
but in the center there is also n rapier,
which may be drawn out. Another neat
invention is hollow stick which con-
tains camp chair. Three steel sup
ports are pressed out of the top of the
stick, triangular piece of canvas put
on, and seat is had which is at least
as comfortable as a bicycle saddle. All
of these strange umbrellas come from
the old world. The umbrella-makers
say that Europeans take much more
pride in their umbrellas than do people
of this country. Many little jokes are
concealed in the umbrella handles
there. A handle may present the ap-
pearance of the head of monkey or
cat or some other animal, and a secret
spring will cause the little creature to
open its mouth and squirt drop of
cologne on the beholder-John Gilmer

The shapes, too, are very much
changed from those of previous years,
for in lieu of the short, dumpy lamp
with its large round bowl, there is a
long, slender vessel with an oil recep-
tacle scarcely larger than a good

A pretty new lamp design is one that
is made of oriental wood delicately
carved and highly polished. The
wood is a dark brown and the figures
are enameled in dark green. The
lamp stands almost ~ feet high, ex-
elusive of its base. The proper shade
for such lamp is made of deep red
French tissue paper, trimmed around
the edge with frills of chiffon.

NEW YEAR WEATHER.
Cold Wave Furnished Very Cool Re-
 ception.

The one man in Birmingham to extend cool greeting to the New Year was Weath- ermaker Jacobs. When the happy season arrived on schedule time last night the weathermaker was no doubt slumbering peacefully in bed, dreaming of winters chilling blasts since his mind had been busy during the day trying to scare up a cold wave. At a. m his faithful thermometer showed a maximum temperature of 63 de- grees and he at once set to work cooling it off, running it down by p. m. to 29 degrees. The range for the day, which was the greatest daily range of the month, was 34 degrees, or, in weathermakers' parlance, he knocked off slightly more than freeze.
 After nightfall a few more degrees were amputated and by midnight overcoats were comfortable-provided they were heavy enough. The good-natured fellow has, how ever, promised fair weather for today, slightly tinged with northerly gales, an antidote for that tired feeling.
 During the evening he found time to com pile his report for December which shows the highest temperature for the month was on the 18th inst, when the thermometer climbed up to 70 degrees; and the lowest on the 14th inst, when it dropped to 15 degrees. A peculiarty shown by the report is the fact that the greatest and least daily range of temperature were registered on the 30th and 31st insts.
 The mean temperature for the month was 45 degrees, against 49 degrees, the average for six years, giving an average daily de- ficiency of degrees, with an average daily deficiency since January l. 1898, of 123 de- grees.
 The total precipitation for the month was 2.7 inches, against an average precipitation of 3SS inches for this month for six years. making a deficiency of l66 inches for the month, with an accumulated excess of 35S inches since January l. 1S9S

WILL BE APPEALED.
Mrs. Botkin's Attorneys Have Not
 Given Up the Fight.

San Francisco, December 31.-Mrs Cor della Botkin, convicted of the murder of Mrs. John P. Dunning and her sister. Mrs. Dean, of Dover, Del, is an inmate of the Branch county jail. She became hysterical shortly after her arrival there last night, and was calmed with difficulty, but she recovered her usual mood today and has taken hope from the promises of her attor- neys who have stated that they will stand by their client to the end.
 The next move in the case will probably be an appeal to the supreme court. The at torneys for the defense took number of exceptions during the trial, and hope to make capital out of these when it makes it's attempt to secure a reversal of the decision.
 The real fight for Mrs. Botkin's liberty, however, will be made upon the question of jurisdiction. The defense contends that as the outcome of the crime really took place in Delaware that Mrs. Botkin was only liable to the law of that state.

HAD THE TINGE OF
 PROFESSIONALISM ] Burglars Make a Haul from
 ChambIee Bros.
ENTERED THROUGH CELLAR
Emptied Several Show Cases of Jewel ry and Novelties, and Left Stock in Disordered Condition
 Left No Clue Behind.

Burglars made rich haul some time dur ing Friday night, which like several other burglaries recently committed in the city, is suggestive of having been committed by professional artists.
 Yesterday morning when the porter at Chamblee Bros store. corner First ave- nue and Twenty-first street. went into the cellar, he found hole in one of the side doors on Twenty-frst street, and immedi- ately reported the matter to the proprie tors. The store had just been opened and hasty investigation disclosed the fact that a robbery had occurred. The stock was found in a disordered condition, while sev eral show cases, which were used to display jewelry novelties, were entirely empty. The police department was at once notified and an official investigation was begun. It was found that an entrance to the building had been effected by means of the side door leading to the cellar on Twenty y-first street. In one of the panels of the door which was of soft pine, the burglars had bored number of holes with a brace and bit in the form of square. It required but little effort to knock out the block which allowed the burglar to thrust his hand through the opening and unbolt the door. By means of a stairway the burglars gained entrance to the store above and footed the stock help ing themselves to suits coats, underwear, hosiery, shoes, handkerchefs, jewelry and other articles.
 On the inside of thecellar was found a small chisel which had evidently been used to break through the door, while near one of ' the pillars of the Twenty-first street bridge onlv fOnnd a brace and bit and a jimmy made of steel.
 MT. Chamblee was unable to tell the exact quantity of goods taken, but is satis- fled that his loss will amount to several hundred dollars.
 Samples of articles taken were furnished the police and a sharp lookout will be kept for such articles and every effort made to catch the burglars

William H. Evans. engineer of the Bir- mingham Machine and Foundry company at East Birmingham was yesterday the vic- tim of murderous assault made by Will Barnett a negro laborer who was employ ed in the foundry.
 MT. Evans reprimanded Barnett for some neglect of duty, which was resented by the insolent negro, who seized a mon- key wrench and hurled it with all his strength at the engineer, striking him on the bridge of the nose. MT. Evans was stunned by the force of the blow and be- fore he could recover himself the negro dealt him terrible blow on the side of the head with heavy piece of wood, felling him to the floor of the engine room, where he lay apparently dead.
 A telephone message was sent to the sher:f's office and Deputy J. B. Marshall was at once sent to the scene. The negro who had been prevented from leaving the place was arrested and brought to the city and locked up In the county jail on the charge of assault with intent to murder

When they had covered four and a half miles Bikes got on even terms with his opponent and at the end of the sixth mile was over lap ahead. Gibson kep manfully at work but Bikes was too much for him. Bikes had gained a lead of three laps in the eight mile and at the finish was four and half mile laps ahead.
