THE HORSES FRIEND
Mrs. Conover, Widow Of an Ameri-
can, Works Reform at Paris.
ny Determined and Persistent Effort
She Puts a Stop 20 the shRmeful
Abuse of Horses by
Cabbies,

Thanks to a woman Paris enjoyed
an unusual spectacle the other day,
when several thousand city cab driv-
ers were the guests of the Society for
the Protection of Animals at a public
banquet. This function was the di-
rect result of the individual efforts of
Mrs. Anna Conover. Though Danish
by birth, she is the widow of for
mer resident of Washington who was
once secretary of the American lega,
tion in Madrid.
Mrs. Conover was for many years
a resident of London, where she be-
came local celebrity as the manager
of the Olympia theater. Retiring
from theatrical life few years ago,
she settled in London, where she was
prominent in many humane and phil
anthropic societies. Coming to Paris
in October last for brief visit, she
was Mortified at the cruel treatment
of the horses. She talked to every
body and wrote to the newspapers,
urging a citizens movement to abate
the cruelty. She met on all sides the
same reply:
"There's no use of doing anything.
1t is impossible to correct the evil.
Frenchmen are instinctirely cruel to
animals"
Undiscouraged, Mrs. Conover began
a vigorous campaign. Alone she Wis
tied the prefect of police and obtained
the issuance of orders to arrest coach
men maltreating their horses. Then
she paraded the principal thorough
fares, alert for every cracking whip.
However crowded the roadway, Mrs.
Conover was undeterred. When she
ordered an arrest policemen found
that no trifing was allowed.
Instead of returning to London she
remained here until every policeman
and every cabbie on the boulevards
knew her at the first glance. Her
fame soon spread, until the constant
reiteration by the newspapers of the
work she was doing won the English
speaking colony's cordial support.
Then many danes of the Faubourg st.
Germain became interested and lent
the prestige of their names to the
At this juncture some
body discovered there was society
for the protection of animals already
existing. Shamed into action, this or
ganization fell into line behind Mrs.
Conover, who finally conceived the
project of appearing to the hearts of
the 10000 Paris cabmen through their
stomachs. Wednesdays banquet was
the result. Prizes were distributed to
those cabbies tenderest to their tired
steeds.

TRADEMARKS IN GERMANY.
wherein the Law May work to
Disadvantage of Foreigners.

Some months ago the state depart
ment received report from the Amer
lean consulate general at Berlin, Ger
many, calling the attention of Amer
lean exporters of manufactured goods
to the complications which were apt
to arise through registration and
usurpation of their trademarks in
Germany by unauthorized persons or
firms. The report having been pub
lished and copied in Germany. was at
tackled by leading Berlin newspaper
on the incorrectly assumed ground
that the report had stated that Amer
leans were unduly Disseminated
against the trademark statute.
Consul General Mason now furnishes
the department with a supplementary
report explaining that his former
statements sought to point out the
consequent danger which American or
any other manufacturers. alien or ma
tive, might incur by selling in Germany
goods designated by trademark not
legally registered in that country.
This danger would apply more particu-
larly to foreigners who might nat
urally be ignorant of the ease with
which any trademark, not already pro-
tected in Germany, might be registered
and thereby usurped by an unauthor-
lied person under the provisions of
the German law. As has been stated.
the sole essential condition required
to register trademark in Germany
is the fact of its not having been pre-
viously registered in the empire.
