The exhibit of manual training and
domestic science work at the high

The manual training exhibit is in the
manual training room in the basement
and is attracting probably the most
comment. The work on exhibition in
cludeS everything from simple knife
work to fine pieces of furniture that
would grace any home. There are
library tables, desks, buffets, and all
kinds of chairs and other articles OF
furniture. The work is all of the very
best, meme but the very best being
allowed in the collection. A feature
of the manual training exhibit; is the
work done by the mems class which
was organized during the winter by
men who had never touched manual
training tools and who managed TO
turn out work of which they are Justly
proud.
Grade School Work.
The exhibit in mechanical drawing
grade schools is shown in room 10 on
the first floor. The drawings are for
the most part technical and il requires
student to fully appreciate them.
They include practically everything in
the drawing line from the simplest
work to the complete plans for large
| house. These latter, by the way, are
real plans and a house is to be built
from them. by the parents of the boz
who drew them
In Miss Deans room, No II, there

and needle work. The work done IN

other room on the first floor there is :
collection of work done by pupils in
muscular movement writing. Along
with the latest work of these pupils is
some work they were doing before the
new system was adopted and consider

| Exhibit of Cooking.
| The exhibit in the cooking school on
the third floor is most tempting af

pared dozens of different dainties
which appear to be most toothsome ant

OF the city. Along with the work IN
cooking is an exhibit in needle WORK

hard to duplicate among pupils "

D. CANON WINS HIS LAWSUIT
Judge Redick Denies the Application
of Farrell & Co. for
Injunction.

The Pierre Veau company and D. Canon
won their suit in district court yesterday
with Farrell & Co. over an alleged infringe
ment OF trademarks
Farrell Co sought an injunction 10 pre-
eent Canon, formerly in their employ, from
using certain labels for syrup his new COM
pany was making. Farrell & Co. had Sc
cured temporary restraining order previ-
ously and sought to make it permanent.
When the case was heard by Judge Redick
he dissolved the restraining order, denied
and Injunction and ruled that Farrell & Co.
could not appeal in court of equity, owing
to the. deceptive character of their labels.
Speaking OF the labels used by Farrell &
Co.. the court quoting a definition from
Paul on trademarks, said Tested by this
definition the labels in question, from start
to finish, are deceptive and fraudulent.
They not only fail 10 state the truth as TO
any OF the matters as to which they are
supposed to speak, but their entire makeup
appears to have been purposely devised to
conceal the truth as to those matters and
to create erroneous impressions in that
regard

SEVERE TREMoR IS RECORDED
Instruments in Europe Indicate
Shock as Great as at
MeBsina.

. LONDON. Jan. 23.-The sesmographs Of
the continent and England record a Sc
we're earthquake at few minutes before
4 o'clock this morning. In some instances
the intensity indicated by the needles was
nearly as great as that recorded last month
at the time of the Messina disaster
The estimates OF distance vary from 1000
to 5000 miles to the eastward OF the point
OF record. This would place the location
of the disturbance in the Caspian region or
beyond in Asatic Russia, Afghanistan,
northern India, and swinging more to the
south. the extreme of Arabia and Central
Africa. The disturbance also could have
been in the Indian ocean.
No reports have come from anywhere in
these areas to intimate the occurrence Of
any catastrophe.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 23.-The seismo-
graphs OF the weather bureau recorded an
earthquake of distant origin late last even
ing that is much the same in character and
intensity as the record obtained at the time
of the recent great italian earthquake.
According to a bulletin OF the bureau the
first preliminary tremors began at 1O:l2:05
p. m. The second preliminary tremors are
not we'll defined In the records. The strong
motion lasted from 1880 until after IL
duration of about one and one-half hours.
Apparently, says the bulletin, the origin
is nearer Washington than in the case of
the Italian earthquake, probably 1000 miles
distant or thereabouts.
