Supreme Court [?]ins the foot Ease Trade-mark.

Justice Laughlin, in Supreme Court, Buffalo, N. Y.. has ordered a permanent injunction, with costs, and a fait accountins of sales, to issue against Paul B. Hudson, the manufacturer of the foot powder called “Dr. Clark’s Foot Powder,” ana also against a retail dealer of Brooklyn, restraining them from making or selling the Dr. Clark’s Foot Powder, which is declared, in the decision of the court, an imitation and infringement of “FootEase,”'the powder for tired, tching feet, to shake into your shoes, now so largely advertised and sold ail over the country. Allen S. Olmsted of Le Roy, N. Y., is the owner of the trade-mark “Foot-Ease,” and he is the first individual who ever advertised a foot powder extensively over the country. He will send a sample Free to anyone who will write him for it. The decision in this case upholds his trademark and renders all parties liable who fraudulently attempt to profit by the extensive “Foot-Ease” advertising, in placing upon the market a spurious and similar appearing preparation, labeled and put up in envelopes and boxes like Foot-Ease. Similar suits will be brought against others w; vo are now infringing on the FootEase trade-mark and common law rights.

One Thing Lacking.

A young fellow who drank much more than was good for him was advised by bis friends to take the gold cure, but he refused. “But,” protested his friends, “your physician says that if you keep on drinking you will surely soon go blind. Now, the question is simply this: Do you prefer being cured of the drink habit and retaining your sight, or do you prefer to keep on drinking and go blind?” The young man paced the floor for some time, and was in a brown study. Finally he turned to lids friends, and, -with a resigned expression of countenance, replied: “Well, I guess I’ve seen about everything.”

RIOTERS SHOT DOWN.

BPANISH MOBS ASK BREAD, AND GET BULLETS. Violent Demonstrations Are Reported Throughout Spain—Restaur an ts. Shops, and the Homes of Merchants Stoned by Hungry Crowds. Many Killed or Wounded. Dispatches indicate that the crisis In (Spain has become intensified. The queen regent is rapidly losing the little popularity she has, and is now insolently referred to as “that Austrian woman.” It is believed she would quit Spain at once shoutd she believe that such a step would promote the interests of the infant king. Meanwhile the trouble in the provinces increases and the rioting may become a revolution. Thus far a number us persons hare been killed and wounded and several Buildings wrecked. In the financial world all is chaos. Runs on banka everywhere prevail, and the funds withdrawn are being hoarded. The speech of Lord Salisbury in London enraged the Spaniards. They discern that with England in sympathy with America the other European powers will hesitate to act for Spain. The outlook in Madrid grows darker every hour that passes. Reports of riot pour in from the provinces, and in most cases there has been bloodshed. A serious disturbance occurred at Caceres, and a still more violent demonstration took place at I.eon, where large crowds of women and children paraded the streets crying, “Give us bread or work.” These paraders were joined by large numbers of men, and the disorder became greater. The mob stoned the restaurants, provision shops, and the bouses of merchants, breaking doors and windows and seizing everything they could lay hands on. The civil guard called upon the crowd to disperse, but the demand was refused, whereupon the troops fired a volley into the mob. A mob of 10,000 persons rioted at Helquist and plundered houses on all sides. The police fired into the crowd. Eight thousand miners, who are on strike at Murcia, paraded the streets shouting “Death to the thieves,” “Down with the octroi dues.” The mob tried to set tire to the railway station and a number of other buildings, but was not successful. The mob then marched on Cartagena, but was intercepted by troops, who fired upon and wounded several of the rioters. All these disturbances are due to economic causes, to the great dearth of wheat and the consequent advance in the price of bread, and the closing of factories and workshops, owing to the complete paral.vxation of trade and'the prohibitive prices of coal and raw materials. The government is adopting drastic measures to keep food in the country. A bill passed the cortes, to come into immediate operation, totally prohibiting expirt of wheat, flour and potatoes.

DOLE OFFERS HAWAII.

Msket Formal Tender of Islands to Uncle Sam. President Dole has sent a long communication to President McKinley, offering to President McKinley, offering to transfer the Hawaiian islands to the United States for purposes of its war with Spain, and to furnish American ships of war in Pacific waters with large quantities of coal, supplies, and ammunition. This action was unexpected in Washington. There is a general sentiment in Congress favorable to the acceptance of the offer, and a Washington correspondent says that when it is formally received it is probable that the President will send to Congress n message recommending the passage of a bill granting him authority to act.

ODDS&ENDS SPORT

All records in baseball were broken Friday a week, when two National League teams were shift out without a base hit. Jack Daly and Kid Lavigne are to tackle each otH£r again in the hitter end of May. This time they are to try conclusions at Long Island City. Peter Jackson has retired from the ring, giving as a reason the statement that the youngsters like Jim Jeffries, who are coming up, “are too speedy for him.” Major Taylor, the colored cycle rider, is matched to ride against Jaap Eden, Kiser, Gardiner, Boulay and August Lehr, five races, each on a different track. On March 21 the stallion Boyets trotted four miles in a race in Russia in 10:07%. This performance lowers all records for the distance, not only in Europe, but America. John C. Knowles, the century rider, who made a 00-century run in 1804, died at the New York, last week from consumption, brought on by excessive riding. There has been no let-up in the enmity between Tom Cooper and Eddie Bald. Sooner than train at the Fountain Ferry track at Louisville, Ky., where Bald is, Cooi»er went to Cincinnati. There is a good deal of interest manifested in the coming contest between Jim Jeffries and Tom Sharkey in California, inasmuch as the winner is likely to be pitted against Peter Maher. In his day Bobby Mathews, who died the other day, had no peer. He was the second pitcher to knack the art of curving the ball. The first to throw a curve was Arthur Cummings. The pitching rules in those daya called for a 45-foot distance* Hobby’s curves furnished columns of sensations in the newspapers at the time. Cordang, holder of the world’s 24-hoUi record of GIG miles, is again in great form, and wilt make an attempt to ride even further in the double revolution of the clock some time during the spring. The League of American Wheelmen has secured the support of the State Department in pushing the claims for indemnity against Turkey for the death of Frank_Uenx, the American cyclist, who was murdered by Kurds while making o tour of the world awheel. The Turkish Government has signified Its willingness to pay an Indemnity, but thin Lit $40,000, the amount claimed, ‘oo high.

HIGH PRICES RULE IN DAWSON.

Scores Would Leave if Certain of Reaching Civilization. William Newton has arrived in Tacoma from Dawson, having started out April 2. He has little to say himself, but brought out letters which detail conditions at Dawson up to the time he left. When he left, Dawson was suffering from an epidemic of scurvy, caused by improper food, or rather lack of variety in diet. The hospital was crowded with patients and others were sick in cabins. The health conditions were worse than ever before, and no doubt exists that many deaths will occur before the miners ure able to take the river steamers to civili-. zation. This feeling is so general that dozens would come out overland if certain they could reach tide waters safely at this season. March was unusually warm in the Klondike country, and the snow melted rapidly. G. C. Pagett, writing on March 29, says many new buildings were being started. Lumber was hard to get at $l5O per 1,000, and dressed lumber at $250. It was impossible to obtain nails, $4 and $5 a pound being the lowest prices quoted for eight and ten penny. Wooden pegs wtte Vicing used instead. Twelve or fifteen horses have survived the winter, and the owners are earning big money hauling logs. Many dog teams are engaged in the same work. Food prices were high, flour SSO per sack, lard $5 per pound, butter $3 per pound, and other provisions on the same scale. Very few had anything to sell. Real estate prices were also skyward. Two front street lots, near the old opera house site, brought $40,000 in March. Prices of all unsold Ibis have been raised from SIOO to SI,OOO each. Considerable speculating is going on in the buying and selling of “dumps.”

GREAT LOSS OF LIFE FEARED.

Waterspouts and Torccdoes Play Havoc in Arkansas. Waterspouts and tornadoes have played havoc at Van Buren, Ark., and done hundreds of thousands of dollars damages. Three BWuses were blown down at Rudy, and it is- reported that Winslow, a summer resort on the top of Boston Mountain, is entirely gone. Two bridges on the ’Frisco Railroad over Clear Creek have been swept away and the road abandoned. The Kansas and Arkansas Valley Road had a two-mile washout and 300 yards landslide. The Arkansas River is twenty-five miles wide in places and is four inches higher than it was in 1892, which was the highest on record. Boats have been busy in the bottoms rescuing the inhabitants.

Everybody is agreed that Spain began hostilities by firing Minister Woodford. Advice to Gen. Weyler: Go to Cuba, young man, and blow up with, the country. If Spain can do it she would better trade a little of her “honor” for gunpowder. How lucky is it that Steve Brodie has never thought of burning his bridges after him. “Roosevelt's Rough Riders” will teach the Spaniards the three r’s in the curriculum of war. And now Missouri is said to have formed a mule trust. It’s a new idea to have any trust in mules. The powers in the Orient are just now examining a prize package labeled ‘.‘China, handle with care!” While the land forces may be slower to get Into action, it's expected the warships will do lleet work. There's no doubt about it. The wonderful performances of this Holland submarine boat are out of sight. The Somers, having been held by British authority, will doubtless spend its summer's vacation at Falmouth. ___ , If it costs $1,500,000 for two modern battle ships to fight an hour Spain would better make a bee line for the nearest pawnshop. If, as Ohauncey Depew says, “the birds have built their nests in the cannons’ mouths*” the Spaniards will do well not to go birdjiestiitg.

A CHEERFUL WOMAN.

From the Democrat, Brasil. Jnd. Every woman cannot be beautiful, but a cheerful face often auppliea the deficiency. But no one can be cheerful and bring joy to others unless they have perfect health. Fortunately, science has placed this priceless boon within the reach of every woman, as the following incident proves: Mrs. Amanda Robinson, wife of William Robinson, farmer and stockman, near HowesrUle, Clay County, Ind., is 32 years old and had for several years been in declining health and despondent. For three months she was not only unable to attend to her domestic duties but too feeble to be up and about. To-day she is in good health and able to attend to her household affairs. She relates her experience as follows: “I was afflicted with female troubles and was in a delicate state of health. I lost my appetite,' grew thin and was greatly depressed. After taking various remedies without being benefited I was induced by a friend to try Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills.

“Early in the summer of 1807 I procured five boxes of them and before finish- 4 ing the see-, ond box 1* began to improve and by the time I had taken the five boxes I was able to go about

my usual work and stopped taking the pills. ■***■ “Our daughter Anna, 12 years old. was also afflicted with decline and debility. She lost flesh, seemed to be bloodless and had no ambition. She took two boxes of the pills and they restored her appetite, aided digestion and brought color to her cheeks. She is now in the best of health. I think Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People the best medicine we ever had in our family and recommend them to all needing a remedy for toning up and rebuilding a shattered system.”

A certain eminent Judge who was recently re-elected, when he was asked about the facility with which he turned from one case to another, replied that he had learned that from what he saw at a baptism of colored people wlhen he was a boy. The weather was very cold, so that to Immerse the candidates they were obliged to cut away the ice. It befell that when one of the female converts was dipped back in the water, the cold made her squirm about, and iti a moment she had slipped from the preacher’s hands and was down the stream under the icq. The preacher, however, was not disconcerted. Looking up with perfect calmness at the crowd on the bank, he said: “Brethren, this sister hath departed—hand mo down another.”

It really requires a marvelous amount of tact to appear thankful at Christmas for something you didn't want. Don’t class hens as vegetables because of their crops.

A Priceless Boon.

The Force of Example.

Hall’s Catarrh Cure.

When It Requires Tact.

He Wanted the Moon.

When “Faust” vras in rehearsal at the Lyceum, it is aid that no end of difficulty was encountered over tbs Brocken scene. The moon risen while the scene is in progress; and at rehearsal there was always something or other going wrong with the moon. Sometimes it rose too soon; sometimes It rose too late; sometimes it was too fast; sometimes it was too slow. Occasionally it refused to rise at all; and, to show that it was quite impartial, occasionally it would stick after it had risen and refuse to rise any higher. One day the moon had been more exasperating than usual, and Irving, in despair, left the stage to interview the refractory luminary himself. During the “wait” which followed, one lady, who was very tired, looked down appealingly from her perch on the Brocken Mountain, and said to a gentleman who was standing at Its base: “Oh, Mr. X., what is it we’re waiting for now?” “Nothing much,” was the reply. “What Irving wants is a real moon, and they’ve gone to fetch It!”

The Death Rate,

While it is quite true that the proportion of deaths from malaria as an immediate cause is proportionally small, yet physicians are thoroughly convinced that it causes maladies of a fatal character, and begets dangerous nervous prostration. This malady is eradicated and prevented by Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters.

Driven to It.

Her husband had reproved her for her great loquacity: “It will never trouble you again,” in angry tones said she. So she solemnly sat down— ' On her face there was a frown — And she never spoke or stirred For an hour —then he heard A report as from a bomb or a cannon overloaded — Drop tbe curtain-drop it slowly—she’a exploded. —Cleveland Leader.

There Is a Class of People

Who are injured by the use of coffee. Recently there has been placed in ail the grocery stores a new preparation called GRAIN-O, made of pure grains, that takes the place of coffee. The most delicate stomach receives it without distress, and but few can tell it from coffee. It does not cost over one-fourth as much. Children may drink it with great benefit. 15c. and 25c. per package. Try It. Ask for GRAIN-O.

Aluminum Neckties.

Aluminum neckties are on sale. They are fastened to the collar button by a band round the neck, and are particularly recommended for summer wear, since they can be easily cleahed when soiled, while they are not perceptibly heavier than cotton, cambric or silk.
