To Consumers of Vinegar in
Nebraska:
Fraud in the sale of vinegar in
Nebraska consists largely in the
sale of vinegar artificially colored
so as to look like cider vinegar.
Merchants buy this artifcially
colored vinegar as cider vinegar,
at cider vinegar price, and sell
it to their customers as cider
vinegar. The laws OF the state
forbid the sale of any vinegar
artiflcially colored and any person
selling OF having in possession
with intent to sell such vinegar
is liable to a fine of from $50 to
500, and costs of prosecution.
The consumption of vinegar is
so great that it is not possible to
supply the demand with cider
vinegar, hence it is necessary to
that other kinds be used. There
seems to be. prejudice on the
part of many people against the

TROUBLE TO LETTER CARRIERS.

St Valentines Day cast 4 heavy burden on the
letter carriers OF this city yesterday. POstoffce
officials explained that change in the ruling
fashion as to valentines responsible for in
crease in the size and weight of the packages sent
through the malls as Cupid's messengers. The
valentines that could be slowed away In Ordi-
nary letter envelope had gone out Of style, they
said. The valentines of yesterday were large and
expensive as a rule. They consisted, for the most
part OF CellulOid creations. with hand paintings
and other decorations. They thrown upon the
postal service for delivery in most cases without
adequate prepayment affixed In the form OF stamps
There were thousands upon thousands Of them
and they ranged In size from six inches square TO
more than foot square
Yesterday morning, when the valentines were re-
celved by thousands at the General Postotiice. a
large force of clerks to work examining
them and marking the extra postage to be col
lected It was discovered that the senders I'm most
had affixed stamps with the idea that the
cellulod valentines could be through mails
third class matter. Being made OF something
beside paper. they could be sent by mail only as
merchandise at a cent ounce and being large
and heavy. a rule, each package was several
ounces overweight for the postage 1t bore In many
cases IL was necessary to mark much as Is
valentine. The carriers therefore had not CnIv To
carry large loads of valentines. but were also re-
qured to collect from the receivers OF the delicate
tokens of affection a cash forfeit delivery
Some OF the valentines sent through the mails
yesterday were unusually beautiful and eIabOrate

GOULDS WIN AND LOSE.
IN ONE CASE THEY WON'T HAVE TO
PAY CASTELLANE CREDITORS-IN
ANOTHER THEY WILL.

Two decisions of the courts, at variance with
each other. affecting suits against Anna Gould,
Countess de Castellane. We're handed down in
by the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court
affirming a decision Of Justice Scott in a suit
brought by Anton ]. Dittmar assignee of
Asher Werthemer, of Paris, for S3I1,2 ,29O and
interest. The action was brought against Count
Boni de Castellane and the Countess and against
the trustees of her estate George J., Edwin
Howard ard Helen NJ. Gould for the payment
of claims out of the estate held in trust for
Anna Gould and her children. The suit was dis
missed by Justice Scott the ground that
the facts stated in the complaint were not suf-
hcIent to constitute a cause of action and that
the court had jurisdiction over Count and
Countess de Castellane or their debts contracted
in France.
The other decision was given by Judge La
combe, in the United States Circuit Court, and
contains an order to the GOulds, as trustees OF
the estate of the Countess de Castellane to pay
certain judgments obtained by creditors in Paris
against the Countess. The Judgments are or
dered to be paid out of the income Of the Coun-
Jay Gould, and the payments are to be made In
monthly instruments. Among the creditors to
be paid are the following: Charles Mannheim &
Co, of Paris. S2I451: Vincent & Co, of Paris,
