Manufacturers of the United States

Manufacturers of the United States who have any thought of exporting their goods to Cuba should register their trademarks in that country at once as the only method by which they may protect themselves. If owners do not register their marks others will. and the owners will then be compelled to buy out the specula- tor if they wish to sell their own goods under their proper names. When once registered by spectators. the real owners of trademarks are at great disadvantage. and must. either by paying royalties or direct purchase, buy up the speculators. The Habana chamber of commerce.. recognizing the great injustice that is being done in this way. is urging foreign manufacturers in their own behalf 10 register their marks before others do so. and thus practically confiscate their property. The dues charged In Cuba for the registration of a trademark are sI2.5O United States currency.

Financial circles particularly are looking both with interest and appre-
 hension at whatever the president may have to say in his coming mes sage to congress on the income and
 inheritance tax question, says our
 Washington correspondent. They
 would not be so agitated perhaps
 if anybody except President Roosevelt
 who had broached the question, but they found by long experience that it Is a very difficult matter to mix the trails so that he will not follow them.
 His faculty for forgetting it is not de-
 veloped to any appreciable extent and those who thought that his
 "muck-rake" speech was passing outbreak had their fears rearoused by his utterances at Harrisburg the other day It is not likely that he will be able to do anything definite along the line of income tax legisla- tion at the short session of congress. The subject is too big and the time too limited. But 1t Is pretty we'll as sured that he will say something ill
 his message. and that something will
 set both congress and the country
 at large to thinking and talking and
 perhaps legislating. It will be recol-
 lected that when congress assembled
 the last time. there were scarcely
 concealed sneers over the presidents
 proposal foI rate legislation. Money
 CT circles all over the country recol-
 lect how the talk of rate legislation
 grew from an impossibility into a cer-
 tainty and they are very much mind
 ed that if the president takes up the subject of wealth limitation, he will
 follow it to the same inevitable con
 clusion. The country at the present
 moment is in very receptive frame
 of mind, and the leaders of wealth
 fear that the utterances of Bryan,
 Hearst, La Toilette and Moran have
 struck popular cord which the pres
 ident is only too apt to keep rever-
 berating.

DUPED THE BROKERS.

A characteristic stock swindle was the electric brake imposture. It was such simple and still such an tn- genius scheme The promoter incor- porated S5.OOO.OO0 company for ;be ostensible purpose of manufacturing an electric brake. He had his stock books Autographed. distributed some of the certificates around among his agents. and engaged brokers to trade fin the stock fin the Broad street curb market. The par of the stock was s5. The speculation in 1t grew day by day and the price advanced from S5 to sl0. to s20. to SEQ. The curb mar ket was tn a fever of excitement over the mysterious electric brake stock
 The promoter was behind the scenes pulling the wires that made the ma- rionettes dance. He sent agents out to Pittsburg. Cleveland. Chicago. and other interior towns. An agent wouli open an account with broker tn one of these towns. trade in various .socks for q few days and then buy a large block of electric brake. He would confidentially exhibit letters from New York telling of the rise in electric Brake and predicting its i'm mediate advance ro slp a share.
 The broker would accept the agents margin If. say. s5!pDn. and telegraph iIiS New York correspondent to buy 5lS shares of electric brake At <4O . share this would cost s20.0S0. the broker advancing the remaining s15.- tsD in the usual manner.

to the fate of the warships and the American troops on shore in Gu ba. Every land line south of Jack sonville went down during the storm, and there was a race between the tel egraph companies and the wireless stations as to which should get the first news out of the island and to the navy department. Wireless mes. sages had to be relayed from Wash ington to Cape Henry, thence to Charleston, thence to Pensacola, over to Key West, and finally to Havana. The wireless messages got through at practically the same time as the cable, and then it was that the United States learned for the first time of the mishap to the cruiser Brooklyn, which has been driven ashore at Ha- wanna. .-..-

This is a question which Dir. Grave

was engaged largely in this work while
in North Carolina, which state was
ahead of Maryland in engaging in the
culture OF oysters. BY combining the
work OF the commission with that OF
gathering important information re-
garding the oyster, DR.. Grave is con-
tributing largely to the success OF oys-
ter culture in Maryland. New Jersey,
Louisiana and Connecticut have spent
large sums in acquiring this information
which DIR. Grave is collecting gratui-

In addition to collecting data regard

Grave is also studying the density OF

TIE DROUGHT.

The condition OF agricultural affairs
i'll this county, particularly in Elkton,
northward, is really alarming. We
speak from actual observation. The
pastures are SO scorched up that cattle
are growing poor; some farmers have
had to commence feeding their stock
and this must become general ii there
is no rain for ten days to come. In
many places the roots OF the corn have
never been wet by rain since it was
planted, and that crop is already al
most ruined. There are no potatoes
and no amount OF rain hereafter can
make hall a crop The earth is so dry
that we have seen the wind whirlng up
the dust from the middle OF grass
1eldS. 1t is conceded that many farm
erS in the county must lose money by
the years operations; we do not see
how renters oi the poorer class OF
farms will stand it; many OF them, no
doubt, will be broken UP. Such, sa far
as we have seen and heard, is the pres
