the sufferers at the hands of pickpockets.

noon as the three whom he believed stole
s104 from his person. This resulted in
sufficient evidence for Judge Feagin of
the police court to bind them over. They
are held under bonds in the sum of $1,000
each.
The men, 1t seems, procured lodging
from the lady who conducts the boarding

praise at the hands orr Chief Wier. 1t is

Champagne Is Misleading.

AS originally drafted, the rules prac-
tically prohibited the use of generic
names applied TO products of Amer
lean manufacture. For instance, cham
payne, as distinguishing a kind of wine,
could not be used in connection with
an American wine of that kind, because
It was held to be misleading. Georgarph-
ical names, generally as applied to a
food or drug product, or to wine and
liquors, were ont permitted.
When the regulations were submitted
to the secretaries of the three depart
ments for approval. some changes were
made In them of a. very important char
acter The use of geographical names, for
instance, was provided for in cases where
II was thought the names were generic
or distinctive. 1t was provided, however
that it should be indicated on the pack
age containing the product that 1t was
of American manufacture. Thus. cham
payne is required to be labelled Amer
lean champagne. or California cham
payne, so that the purchaser may know
the wine is made in America and not in
France. The regulations apply to other
nroduets in a similar way
