Important suits have Just been decided In the
United StatesCircuit courts involving the right to
the word Hood or Hoods. Messrs. Q. /. Hood &
Co. Of Lowell Mass, proprietOrs Of Hood's Sar-
saparilla, began suit for infringement against Dr.
j. q, lie Cd Of Louisville, KY. who was putting up
what he called "Dr. Hoods Sarsaparllla." After
a hearing in the United States Circuit Court at
Louisville, Judge vans April ~ granted a
temporary injunction In favor Of O. l. Hood &
Co., and restraining J. @. Hood from using the
word Hood in any way or form on any prepare
tion Of sarsaparilla.

parilla. Dr. j. @. Hood employed counsel and
made defence, but Judge Baker of the United
States Circuit court granted an Injunction which
on April % became perpetual
These two DEGREES establish the exclusive right
of @. |. Hood q Co. to the word Hoods" and de-
eide In effect that no other person can put VI
a Hoods Sarsaparilla even If his name is Hood
nor can any retail druggist sell or offer for sale
any sarsaparia bearing the name Hood OF
Hoods other than that prepared by G. l. Hood

These decisions will be gratifyin to every fail

TO steal or infringe upon business which hai
been established by great SKILL labor and expe n.

Nor should substitution" be allowed, when 1

Gen. u. q. Howard's Mission to ths
Mountain whites.


The visit to Boston Just now of Major
General o. o. Howard brings wildly to
mind the great service that virile veteran
has rendered and is still rendering 10 the
country. That is a worthy monument TO
Abraham Lincoln-the Lincoln Memorial
University at Cumberland Gap, Tenn
which he has fostered and OF which he is
managing director. This group of schools,
TO which General Howard is devoting the
energies Of his latest years, was establish
ed TO provide free education for those
"loyal refugees" as Lincoln termed them,
who lent heroic service to the nation.
The property, ii seems, comprises 500
acres Of good land, seven buildings and
equipments, all valued at $200,000; 276
students Of both sexes are enrolled. Its
purpose is the practical one of teaching
the mountain youth the best methods of
farming and the mechanical arts; to pro-
vide them with normal academic training,
and, when required, the higher branches.
The great need seems TO be an endow-
ment, part of which ii appears is prom
Used conditionally. To believers in the
potent force of a wise education as the
only leverage to uplift the Negro and poor
white, such an institution appeals with
special force

Deposl,ors MAY sue Directors.

There is talk among the depositors of the
Merchants National bank of Rutland of
bringing action against the directors person
ally to recover the amount of their deposits.
1t is said that for more than two weeks
before the arrest of Cashier Mussey rumors
were current that all was not right at the
bank and that the unstable condition of the
bank was pointed out to the directors, for
which reason it is claimed they are person
ally liable to the depositors for not closing
the institution. When the bank first closed
everyone was informed that depositors
would receive dollar for dollar but during
the past week the announcement has been
made that an effort would be made to pay
at least 80 cents on the dollar.

Bless the bird Books--and III, Birds.

lfrOm the Boston Transcript
Bless us, how the bird books do multi.
ply! For which let us congratulate our
selves. We can't have too many of them
the kind we are getting now, that is-any
more than we can have too many birds.
The first essential to keeping friend is to
know him, and the best way TO keep the
birds is TO become acquainted with them.
Perhaps you have had the experience
recently of going into the woods with a
bird guide book in one hand and pair of
field glasses in the other; il you have, you
have learned first, to your surprise and
then TO your qualification, that the birds
are more than ready TO meet you halfway
when they discover that your glass Is not
shooting iron" In no time, too, they
discover this, don't they? We don't half
know the love the birds have for u.s.
When we do we shall wonder how il
happened that we were ignorant of it so
many years. The most telling fact in
proof OF this is that birds from choice
build their nests within mailing distance
OF dwelling house rather than in deep
woods where they only get glimpses from
their nests now and then of a human
being. Now that there seems TO be a
universal determination TO "know the
birds" this is fact worth taking into
consideration.

More Postal Frauds Alleged.

The Washington Post of Saturday made
sensational charges of further Irregularities
in postal affairs, this time in the Washngton,
d. c., post office. 1t alleged that in 1898,
when the postal affairs at Porto Rico were
conducted in conjunction with the Wash
ington office, there were improper dsburse-
ments amounting TO from $50, 900 to $780,
600. 1t also charged that Oliver H. Smith
Of Indiana for about year drew three
salaries simultaneously as auditor at local
postal stations, laborer and painter OF
street letter boxes. Six women, it is
claimed, drew salaries of 5000 year each
without performing work therefor; also
that local newspaper reporter was paid
81, 700 year as physician to the Washing
ton post-oflice.
