LICENSING OF VICES.

An Effort Being Made to Stop the
Practice In Northern Lus0n.
The military authorities In northern Lu-
ron have take1, steps| to suppress cock
fighting. gambling and opium smoking and
such vices. which are<said to prevail to a
large extent. Tke district commander for
the first district has issued circular let
ter prohibiting all officials from maintain
ing. licensing oEpermitting to be maintain
ed ANY public-place or public resort for
gambling. cock sighting. opium smoking or
kindred vices, or allowing them to be car
ried on In any street, road. square, park
or other public place or building 1t is
provided that any alealde chief of police
or other official who fails to do his utmost
to suppress the above mentioned vices shall
on conviction be liable to a fine Of from 5
to 100 pesos. Any person who owns or
conducts any place where such vices are
Pract1ced and any one who engages in such
practices is liable to fine of from to
80 pesos or imprisonment at hard labor
from five to sixty days, or both. The
penalty is doubled for a second offense.
II Is explained that the order is intended
to suppress the countenancing of the vices
by the public authorities and all public ex-
hibttions of them. 1t is not expected by
this order the circular says, ITO change
the sentiment of the mass of the people
nor TO change their moral natures so that
they will be in accord with the ideas of
modern cfvilization, for this dependence
must be placed on the good example. prac-
tees and teachings OF the enlightened, re-
fined and educated people of this district.
The prevalence OF these vices has been
serious hindrance to the mental. moral and
material development of the Filipino pee-
pie, and their continuance will in the flu
ture prevent them from having a place
among the people of modern civilization
p 1T is hoped that the educated class will
endeavor to impress upon those who are
more or less dependent on them for as
sistance and advice the evils which the
indulgence in these vices bring the
individuals and the community. and do
their best to awaken an enlightened public
sentiment among the people, which will
cause them to be prohibited In their
homes"

q Millionaire.

A special dispatch to the Baltimore Sun
from Berkeley Springs, w. Va, yesterday
says: Jimmy" Adams has returned from
sation by his spectacular arrival When he
left here three years ago he went with MOTH
ing and on a freight train. He returned
yesterday in a private car, hauled by a
leased locomotive. and brought with him
nearly 100000 IN gold and papers repre-
senting mining possessions worth 5000, 900
and prospectively worth ten times as much.
When Adams was back from the north
TWO years ago he had some gold and good
prospects, but he had not written home
since and no one was prepared for his re-
turn. At Detroit he tired of travelling in
ordinary trains and took the best and big
gest car he could get at $500 day. coming
along leisurey and stopping at Niagara
Falls and New York. When he got to
Brunswick, Md, he leased an engine to
come over the branch line to Berkeley
Springs, arriving at the station without "a
soul in town expecting him. He had his
ten big trunks hauled to his fathers house
and deposited S1J0.WW gold in the bank. A
year ago he bought the old folks a fine
farm and yesterday gave them $4,000 to
put house on it.
jimmy is a little more than twenty
two years old and is enthusiastic in his good
will. He has made two young friends who
went to the klondike and could not stand
the climate, legal partners in his mines and
appointed them his agents here at big sal
aries. He will not go back till spring, and
says he Will devote the winter to realizing
how il feels to be a real live millionaire
He tells the same stories OF hardship and
privation that have been often told. and
says while the outcome for the lucky is
great the game is hardly worth the candle

Imports Of wooden manufactures into the
United States are less than one-third IN
value what they were in 1895. while during
the decade 1S9O-19OO exports of WOODEN
manufactures have more than trebIed
During the eight months ending August
81. 1900 the imports of wooden manufac-
lures amounted to $12.OS4 1913, against s4U,-
66d,O44 In eight months Of 1895 and $2O-
54.O94 in the corresponding eight months
or 1895 The average annual Importation
of wooden manufactures during the decade
from 1890 to 1900 has been Sc, OOO, 900, the
high-water mark having been reached in
the year 1895, when the total was so, 667 :
o44. During that and the succeeding two
years the importations were very heavy,
averaging for the period nearly SIG, 900 0O0
for the eight months period of each year;
but since that date the importations have
constantly decreased until in the years
1888, 1899 and 1900 they reached their
lowest level. averaging during the eight
months of each year but about $11 600 O0O
Thus it will be seen that the importation
of wooden manufactures are now but one
half their annual average since 1890. Od

of voters known as publicists, educators

Washington was saved the honor of first
place only by the fact that Chief Justice
Nichols Of Louisiana scratched both Lincoln
and Webster. Justice Nichols did not cast
any vote except in the classes Of soldiers,
sailors and statesmen. His vote today in

thirty were selected it was decided that the
twenty remaining names be chosen in the
year 1902 by a new contest and the judges

contest. except such served by reason Of
their holding official positions. Each name

REGIsrRATlex or TRADE MARKS.
Legal Pr0visiOA Under Which Ameri-

Legal Pr0viaf0n Under Which Ameri-
can Manufacturer Have Suffered.
A very peculiar provision Of the German
law for the registration Of trade marks IL
not infrequently used to the great and un-
Just disadvantage Of Americans and other
foreigners, says Consul General Mason at
Berlin IN q recent report to the State De-
partment Under the German statute any
person may register and secure right to any
name or device used as a trade mark which
has not previously been registered in Berlin
by some other firm or person. In other
words the officials, before whom the appli-
cation is brought make no inquiry to ascer-
tain whether the applicant has ever used
the proposed trade mark, or has any right
to 1t; but only concern themselves as to
whether it has been previously registered
in Germany. The latter point settled, it is
quiry.
vision can be abused. several years ago.
when American bicycles began to be i'm
ported into Germany, certain persons in
terested in blocking the trade got the trade
marks OF two or three makers registered in
tnelr own names, and either obliged the
legitimate American owners of the trade
maks to buy them or-in other words. to
pay species of blackmail-or to change the
trade marks on all bicycles exported to
Germany.
There are other instances Of these fradu-
lent appropriations, and the abuse has be-
come so notorious as to elicit the remark
from leading German patent attorney
tnat the erect of the law Is to legalze and
facilitate the theft of a trade mark
The consul general says that the obvious
course of all American exporters is to have
their name and trade mark duly registered
in Germany before exporting any kind of
merchandise covered by a well-known name
to that country.
The question Of the registration of trade
marks has also been taken up by United
States Consul Freeman at Copenhagen. who
says that in order for an American firm to
get trade mark registered in Denmark 1t
Is necessary to have had the same regis
tered In the United States. Prompt action, -
says the consul. SHOULD be taken by Amer
ican manufacturers to prevent the appro-
pr1ation Of their trade marks by unscrupu-
lous foreign firms"
