The Irish standard., 1899-04-01

Rt. Rev. Edward ODea was the ora
tor on St. Patrick's day in Spokane,
Wash. OF his address the Outburst
says: 1t was one of the finest oratorical
efforts ever given i'll the city. Bishop
O'Dca's subject was the characteristics
OF the Irishman," and he treated it in
all OF its phases, with breadth of view
worthy OF the broad-mindedness of the
speaker Bishop O'Dea was eloquent
in various passages and showed himself
to be frst-class orator. He showed,
too, a fine spirit OF American patriotism
as we'll as loyalty to Ireland-a loyalty
which. he and all other true hearted
Irishmen never forget.

waited from our shores the aroma OF
liberty and law. But the minute we be-
gan to reach out and fight for territory

murderous escapade that any bullying,
Dragging brigand among the nations

In conclusion Mr.. Towne declared
himself against an Anglo-American ALI
ance, and he ridiculed the idea that
colonization is needed to obtain mar
kets for American products.
A. Hoelscher next gave flute solo,
"Come Back to Erin" He performed
it excellently, as usual. Francis E.
Woodward sang "I'm OFF to Philadel-
phia' in very pleasing manner, and
Miss Pottgieser sang charming selec-
ton from Italian opera. Paddy Doran
made a great hit He sang "Dearie,'
and when he was called back sang
"Kittie." Then he was called back
again and sang "Put Me OH at But
falo." The crowd wanted him to come
back and sing some more, but Mr.. Do
ran begged off, and gave as his excuse
the length of the program and the al
legged fact that he understood that
there were several people in the
audience that desired to catch the
o:3o o'clock train in the morning.
John E. Foran sang tenor solo, "My
Beautiful Irish Maid" and responded to
an encore. Miss La Stella Scion, OF
West Superior, sang kathleen Ma
vourneen," and she made an excellent
impression on the audience. Her voice
is very pleasing, and both her first MINI
Der and her encore were warmly ap-
plauded. Fred Langley gave charac-
teristic Irish song and dance, and his
number was clever exhibition of solo
clog dancing. The program closed will,
an American medley by the orchestra.
Mrs. A. Hoelscher was the accompanist,
and her work added not little to the
pleasure OF the vocal numbers.

"UNEEDA" TRADEMARK UPHELD.

Once again have the courts decided that the repu-
taton acquired for any article by means or exten-
slve advertising shall be protected from unlawful
encroachment. This Is eXemplihed In the decision

States Circuit Court in the Of the National
Biscuit Company against Henry D. Baker and an
other The plaintiff has spent lot Of money in
forming the public Of the good qualities or
'TTneeda" biscuit The defendants then put on the
market biscuit which they called "1wanta, but
Judge Iacombe granted a preliminary Injunction
against the use of such a trademark. which. he
decided was an infringement upon "Uneeda.
In his opinion Judge Lacombe remarks that the
case is too plain to waste many words over That
'TJneeda," as applied to biscuit. is proper trade
mark and that the complainant is entitled 10 It's
exclusive use in that connection, is hardly dis
puted That 1t has been most extensively adver-
tised. presumably at great expense. is matter OF
common knowledge. The Court refuses to accept
the plea Of the defendant that. with the word
"Uneeda" before him his device to avoid confusion
was the adoption Of the word 'lwanta."
The decision closes thus THE incessant Of

Close to the wagon we met bush
woman. one Of Indowyoka s people. re-
duced by starvation to the most enact
ated and pitiable condition Her hus-
band had been killed by lions some days
before, though she herself had escaped
with her life On her back and shoul-
ders were the marks where the same
lion had ripped away great strips of
flesh Long clots of blood had dried on
her body; the wounds had not even
been washed. l gave her some meat
which she seized upon and at once ate
ravencusly The bones were almost
through her filthy skin; her little beady
eyes set close together under a low. re-
treating forehead, her fattened nose
and large protruding lips, concealing
what little chin she possessed gave her
look most uncanny and repellent
Altogether more like an animal than
a human being, she seemed to me the
lowest type of womankind that it has
ever been my fate to look on. There are
numbers of bushmen and their wives
who live in this miserable condition,
wandering through the veldt with no
other means Of subsistence than such
trash as wild roots and berries Some
Of the men have guns and ammunition,
