who were travelling on passes did not
pay. Turning to them, she said:
"Iiow does it come that you young
men do not pay, while an old woman
like me has to pay?'
"Oh,' they exclaimed, 'we are

Mayor Mitchell of New York said at

I'm silence there is safety. They
who want opinions often get opinions
they don't want. Take the young
planters case.
"a young Mississippi planter had a
servant, Uncle jeff, who had cared
for him as child and who was very
devoted to him. The young man be-
came engaged to neighboring beau
ty, who was credited with very bad
temper. Noticing that Uncle jeff
never mentioned his approaching mar
riage, the young planter said one day:
Jeff, you know I'm going to marry
Miss Lamar"
"'Yes,' was the reply, l knows it.
az haven't heard you say anything
about it, persisted the planter.
"'No,' JEFF acknowledged. 'Tain't

GIRL PITTED AGAINST MAN
Girl Champion Swimmer VIII Meet
Harry EIionsky In Greatest En-
durance Race Ever Recorded.

Rose Pitonof, Boston's champion
girl swimmer of the world, will meet
Harry Elionsky of New London, in
what is likely to be the greatest en-
durance swim on record in June next
in Boston harbor.
Miss Pitonof's father, Eli Pitonof,
has deposited check for $50, cover
ing a similar forfeit made on behalf
of Elionsky, who had previously ac-
cepted Miss Pitonof's challenge to the
world for such race.
Under the terms made by Pitonof,
each of the contestants must deposit
$3.50 more at least ten days before the
date of the race. The contest will
therefore be a $500 match affair-a
$1,000 match. The date of the race
will be fixed before June 1.
The terms call for a battle to a
finish-such a swimming contest as
was never held before in the world.
The contestants must swim back and
forth between Charlestown bridge and
Boston Light until one or the other is
forced to quit.
When one gives up, the other-if he
or she goes as far as the one who
surrenders has gone-will become the
champion and will win the money. To
swim from Charlestown bridge to
Boston Light once is an amazing
water stunt. Few have done it. To
go to the Light, turn a buoy and re-
turn has been considered a well-nigh
impossible feat.

granted permanent Injunction in be-
half of the Centaur Company Of New
York, the manufacturers of Fletchers
Castoria, against the Stewart &
Holmes Drug Company Of this city.
The controversy arose from the sim
ulating of the labels of this well-known
preparation, and from the evidence
filed in the case it was shown that the
infringing label was first discovered
on sale in Honolulu, and was traced to
it's origin here in Seattle.
The defendant company is one Of
the oldest and largest concerns of its
kind in the Northwest.
The decree carries with 1t an order
that the Stewart & Holmes Company
