THE HosTETTER COMPANY
Of Pittsburg, Pa. Scores Another
Victory Against Infringement OF
Their Trade Mark.

The United States Circuit Court of APP
peals at San Francisco, Cal. recently
handed down an opinion affirming the de-
cision of Judge Morrow of the United
States Circuit Court of San Francisco,
who had granted perpetual injunction
against Samuels Bros. & Company, who
with large number of other dealers on
the Pacific Coast had been engaged for
some time past in making and selling a
counterfeit article purporting to be Hos
letters Stomach Bitters, and advising
purchasers to obtain the genuine bottle of
The Hostetter Company with the label
affixed, refilling them with their goods,
and selling same as the genuine article.
This comprehensive decision being final,
prohibits all unfair dealers from manu-
featuring or selling any article of Stomach
Bitters, either in bulk, or by the gallon or
otherwise, or in any way making use of
TIE name Hostetter, except in connection
with the sale of the genuine article. and
also prohibits the sale of any Bitters in
bulk, though the name Hostetter be not
used, If the suggestion and advice is made
to the purchaser that he shall put the
article into the genuine empty Hostetter
bottle, and sell them for the genuine Hos
letters Bitters.
This decision establishes The Hostetter
name of Hostetter, and it's ownership in
the trade mark and trade name in con-
nection with either the manufacture or
sale of Stomach Bitters in any manner
whatsoever adv.

SPRINGS PARK
s IS NEARING COMPLETION
c G. Young of JIG. White & Co., Here to Aid in
Rushing Forward Work of the
Traction Company.

ject of the visit of Mr.. Young to Mont
gomery is to have the work on this park
pushed with all the rapidity possible. The
only buildings that have been completed
are a dancing pavilion and a building for
a ladies toilet The pavilion is 10 Feet
long by 90 feet wide with a floor as fine
for dancing as any club in the country
can boast. Under this pavilion ere eighty
eight substantial brick piers so that there
is not the slightest chance of the f1oos
sagging or shaking. At one end there is
a kind of cafe at which soft drinks, such
as lemonade, will be furnished, comfort
able chairs being supplied.
Not far from this building will be the
restaurant and not far from that will be
az summer theatre. All these bulldogs
will be on the brow of the hill overlook
ing a lake on which, besides boats. there
will be several bath houses.
+, Near one end of the lake is a small is
land of bautiful pine trees, making 1t
complete and picturesque. At the foot of
the hill where the main spring gushes
out, circular brick wall of forty feet
circumference has been built. the water
in it being pure, clear land with no
chance of mud washing into it. 1t will
be from two inches deep at the entrance
to two feet deep at the foot, the idea be-
ing to confine 1t exclusively to child
ren's playground where the tots can
made and sail boats, etc, with absolute
safety.
The balance of the 200 acres will be
taken up with Country Club, golf links,
ball grounds. race track and picnic
grounds.
Mr.. Young says that his idea is to make
the park as much like Gwynneoak Park
that he built just out of Baltimore. as
possible. He says that he intends max
ing Pickett Springs resort that lady
can go without an escort and be as safe
and protected as in her own drawing

I'VE will make the place as attractive
for the Montgomery people as possible"
he said, our object being to make peo-
pie ride on our car line. and while We
will give the people the best of every
thing in the way of entertainments. res
taurants,. ETC., we do not expect to make
any money out of the park-our profits
coming in on the car line"

whether tame or wild. there are none
that excite more general interest than
the elephant. Their novelty as an animal
for exhibition purposes has fairly passed
away. In mere numbers they no longer

is well known. the elephant is about the
most intelligent and sagacious as well as

most famous lot of trained elephants
are the world-wide-known Adam Fore

ly that next year Montgomery should
have the State Fair.
The Birmingham officials have done we'll
considering their late start, and they
have a very creditable show, and 1t
should have been more generally attended
than it was--the attendance was no doubt
good enough to pay out, ana possibly
have q surplus, but 1t should have been
larger.

more central location for an agricultural
display than Birmingham, and larger
crowds will 60 there. Again, the track
at Montgomery Is a full mile and very
good one, there are already some stables
and a good grand stand there, and at
comparatively small cost the necessary
buildings, tents, ETC., could be erected
very expensive buildings are not neces-
sary. 1t has now been Some years since
Montgomery has had fair, and it would
no doubt be well patronized. 1t would
have the advantage, too, OF some State
aid. then why not let the Montgomery

and business men get together and reor-
ganize and have good old time rousing

New Orleans Special.
The Louisiana planters continue to
wrestle with the labor problem. Labor
is scarce in every parish in Central and
Southern Louisiana, and farmers report
that they are having all sorts OF trouble
with their laborers, while idle negroes
are plentiful about the country towns. A
large number of sugar planters have been
forced to import Italians from New York.
st. Louis, Chicago and other places to
harvest the cane crop. This has not only
been expensive, but 1t has made the farm
ers resentful tow ard the trifiing blacks
who refuse TO work. and they are calling
upon the authorities TO enforce the va
grant laws and compel the negroes to
either go to work or leave the country.
The planters are not the only sufferers.
The steamboat lines on the Mississippi
River are experiencing similar trouble.
The roustabouts have tied up several
boats in New Orleans during the last ten
days and absolutely refused to work when
offered 500 a month by the steamboat
captains. The steamer Imperial was de-
layed at her landing three days because
the negroes declined to go out on the
vessel, although the wharves were lined
with a gang of worthless crap shooters.
The steamer Julien Peydras was tied up
at Baton Rouge because she .,ould rot
secure a crew of roustabouts. The blacks
stood around the landing at Baton Rouge
in large punches, refusing to give any
reason for declining work. The captain
of the boat offered $65 a month, hut 1t
failed to attract the crowd of idlers and
at last accounts the vessel was still tied
up. The authorities at Baton R,uge pro-
pose to undertake vigorous action in or
der to rid the town OF the hordes of idle
men who decline to work at high wages.
Agents are in New Orleans from Mis-
sissippi hunting labor, while the cotton
and cane fields in the vicinity are in urg-
ent need OF more hands.
