MISUSE OF COLLEGE SEAL.

Erets Action of Brewer.
President Patton of Princeton University
yesterday, referring to the reports that a
Philadelphia brewer had secured the patent
right to use the university seals on casks
and whisky barrels, with view to fur
nishing university brands of liquors. said
II am sorry that the college seal Is to be
used in this way. The matter will doubt
less be brought to the attention of the
board of trustees, and they will take what
ever action they think Wilt be wise relative
to the points in question. I do not feel
competent to speak about it. but I can
easily see that 1t involves some interesting
legal inquiries. The college seal will none
the less serve to authenticate the doctrines
to which 1t is attached, unless, perchance,
we should be sued by the whisky corpora
tions. 1t seems as il the college corpora
ton must get things of this kind patented
nowadays to insure their safeguard"

Frosts were quite general In the central
and northern Rocky mountain districts and
over the northern portion of the country
from the upper Missouri valley to the mid
die Atlantic states, light frosts ,eing re-
ported far south the mountain re-
gons of Tennessee, but only slight damage
in some localities Is reported.
The week has been favorable for gather
ing corn in the principal corn states, the
bulk of the crop being secured in many sec
tions.
In the central and eastern districts OF the
cotton belt cotton picking has progressed
rapidly, generally under very favorab bic
J weather conditions. and is nearing compile
tion in some sections. In central and
northern Texas the heavy rains of the lat
ter part of the week caused much damage
by beating out open cotton. but in the
southern portion picking progressed rapidly
under favorable conditions.
The weather of the past week has been
highly favorable for curing tobacco, the
bulk of which crop has been housed.
Continued unfavorable fepoflS respecting
apples are received, due largely to the high
winds of the previous week. which have
very materially reduced the prospects for
this crop.
While the condition of the soil has been
generally favorable for plowing for fall
seeding, this work has been delayed in por-
tions of Iowa and Missouri by dry weather.
and by excessive rains in Wisconsin and
Minnesota. Reports from the states of the
Ohio valley indicate that the acreage of
winter wheat will be smaller than usual.
In some sections seeding has been purposely
delayed to avoid the Hessian fly.

neighboring states compiled from tele-
graphic reports:

REMOVAL OF WEEDS.
Draft of an Order Therefor Prepared
by Health OAacer.

/
| DR. VIM. C. Woodward, the District
| health officer, submitted to the Commis-
sioners several days ago the draft of an
| order requiring the removal of weeds from
| vacant lots such order or notice to be
served, by publication, upon owners of un-
| occupied lands in the city and in the more
| densely populated suburbs in cases where
| no person can be found in the District who
either Is claims to be the owner, or
either represents or claims to represent the
| owner. The notice required the removal OF
| all weeds four or more inches in height
| within seven days. Sundays and legal hoi-
| idays excepted. IF such weeds" continued
| the notice. ''be not removed within the time
specified the Commissioners of the District
| of Columbia will cause their removal and
assess the cost. including the cost of ad-
vertising, against the property on which

| of Mr.. Daniel Curry the clerk in charge of
advertisements, the Commissioners referred
the question OF advertising such notices to
the attorney for the District Mr.. A. Il. Du-
VAIL for an opinion as to how many days
must elapJe after the last published notice
law begins to run. Also whether twice a
week means two consecutive insertions Of
the advertisement
Mr.. Duvall today advised the Commits
sioners that the notice by publication pro-
yided for in section , is intended as a sub
| stitute for the service of the personal notice
provided for in the first section. Therefore,
ne concludes. the seven days" should be-
| gin to run from the expiration of one week
| after the first publication and that twice
week does not necessarily mean two con-
| secutive insertions of the advertisement.
| The law in question, states Mr. Duvall,
| makes it the auty of owners of land to re-
move any weeus thereon OF four more
inches in height within seven days Sun
| days and legal holidays excepted after no
| tice from the health officer. Section of

That whenever there are upon any unoc-
| cuped land aforesaid weeds of four or

| cation twice week in one daily newspaper
