ASK PROTECTION.
German Manufacturers Don't Want
Their Work Initiated.

Berlin. May 6.-The foreign office has
begun negotiations with the government
at Washington in accordance with the
suggestions of the chambers of com
merce OF. Berlin, Munich, Carlsruhe and
other places toward amending the copy
right act of 1891 so as to afford German
exhibits at the St. Louis exposition bet
ter protection from reproduction.
The foreign office is endeavoring to
have the exhibits excepted from the
mandatory clause of the act If the
United States does not agree to this
then the foreign Office will try to get a
guarantee preventing limitations of ex-
hibits for fixed period after the close
Of the exposition. Some branches of in
dustry like that of the photographers
have made their participation in the st.
Louis exposition conditional upon being
assured protection from initial ton equal
TO that which American works enjoy in
Germany

Chicago Walters No Longer Able
to Dress in White.

Chicago, May 6.-Chinese are nocking
to Chicago to take advantage of this
golden opportunity to engage in the
laundry business. They are coming di-
rect from Hip Lung, the King of Chi
nat0Wn' in San Francisco and report
ing to Sam Lee to be distributed by him
among the q laundries that he controls
here.
Although there are ], 200 men working
in the $50 Chinese laundries in Chicago,
their methods are so antiquated that
they can not begin to take care of Chi
Cages enormous weekly washing.
Hotels and restaurants have managed
to get their most urgent needs filled by
out of town laundries, but they are still
far from being in a comfortable posi-
ton. Today walters in nearly all of the
large downtown restaurants appeared
stead of spotless or more recently very
much spotted white garments furnished
by the houses.
Efforts are being made to settle the
trouble between the Workmen in the
steam laundries and their employers,
but so far little progress has been made.
St. Louis laundry men have dealt q
blow to the cause of the Chicago laun-
dry owners by refusing to handle any
more of the work sent to them while
the strike of the laundry workers I'M
ion continues For the last three or
four days some of the large laundries
in the city have been sending carload
shipments OF laundry to St. Louis and
through the aid of the laundries of that
city have been enabled to fill contracts.
The union employees in ST. Louis, WAC
practically control all laundries, raised
a protest and at a mass meeting decided
that they would refuse to handle Chi
cago work.
Proprietors of St.Louis Iaundries were
at once informed of the action and
promised to accept no more work from
Chicago.

another, is the rolling stone that
catches no moss" It is the staying
quality that gets there with certainty,
if not celebrity. Among farmers there
is too much moving about, seeking a
batter country, escaping from the ills
we have by flying to those we know
not of. Some, of course, do better
their condition, but it takes time and
thought to adapt one to new surround
ings if they are different from the old.
In most cases 1T were better to remain
on the old stamping ground, aud work
out salvation amid scenes and condi-
tions that are familiar.

DETERMINATION OF BOIL wEuL.

A bill is being considered in the
Texas Legislature to appropriate 500,
900. "to be paid to any one who shall
discover practical remedy for the ex-
termination of the boil weevil." In
order to keep rhetical absurdity off
the statue book the caption of this bill
should be amended by striking out
the word remedy" and inserting
method in It's place. The bill as thus
amended, would be impracticable, for
have we not had already dozen SIM
pie methods of determination already
published il the daily papers. Who
ls to determine among host of con-
testants, and innumerable devices used
which one resulted in the extermins-
ton? All entomologists who have
studied the weevil are agreed that ex-
termination is impossible. The con-
trary opinion is held only by men who,
like onr Senators and Representatives
now nothing about the weevil. We
do not need remedy" for the ''exter-
minatlon, -" for no such things exists,
and if it did would not need remedy,
baoauaa thara oOuld he nothing the
matter with it; nor for the weeviI, fol
it is not sick, and if it was, we would
prefer to let 1t die, unless, like some
physicians remedies, it would insure
speedy death.-Texas Farm and
