Key West Inter-Ocean: In the edito-
rial columns of to-day's issue will be
found a clipping from the New York To-
bacco, which tells of the success of a Key
West three for cents sheroot. AS such
classes of cigars are not made here, il is
evident that the name Key West is be-
ing fraudulently used. How long do the

rights infringed on in this way? The Su-
preme Court has decided that the name of
a city cannot be used as trade mark,
vet we allow such infringements upon our
rights without word of complaint. If
one half of the cigars, palmed off on the
public for Key West cigars were made in
this city, ii would be necessary to cover
the Island with sky-scraping tenements to
hold the people it would take to make
them. AS it seems impossible to get
board of trade, why don't the aldermen
take the matter up?
Jacksonville Times-Union and Citizen:
The authorities are still hard at work on
the Roberts murder case, and while they
are confident that they have evidence suf-
ficient to secure a conviction of the Ham
mond boys, they still refuse 10 talk on
the subject for publication. To Ham,
mOnd, the boy who is ia a cell at the city
flee late Sunday afternoon and made to
undress. AS soon as Hammond removed
his undershirt a large and long blood stain
was found on his back just below the
line of the collar. Just what the authori-
ties think of this is not known as they
will not talk about it. The general sup
position is, however that Hammond be-
came covered with blood, and while he
took the precaution to wash the outer
clothing chat he wore, he did not wash
his neck lower than the collar, and the
immense blood stain that was found there
was allowed to remain undisturbed on ao-
count of his not being aware of it's pres
ence The clothing that was found near
Gearys house has been given to a chem
list for analysis, but just who has them
is not known, and will not be told to the
representatives of the newspapers. Il is
sufficient to stale that an expert has them
in charge, and that the officials are con-
ideut that the stains will prove to be
those of blood Notwithstanding the fact
that the clothes were washed before be-
ing found by the officers. The aged faith
er of Tom and Horace Hammond was in
The city Sunday and yesterday, and APP
peared to be heartbroken over the affair.
He does not think that his boys are gull
ty, and expressed himself to that effect.
He has not as yet engaged counsel for
his boys, but this is hardly necessary as
yet, for the boys refuse to talk to the
officials, and nothing more obuld be de-
sired or done by a lawyer at present. The
examination befote the coroner's jury to
be held Saturday morning is expected to
be an interesting one, and some startling
developments may be brought to light by
Detective Jones and the other officers who
are at work on the case. The hearing will
probably be a private one, as the office
of Justice Willard will not accommodate
all those who may desire 10 hear the evil
dence
