SSSSS05SS0608 Interest Centers Burt's, time on the laws go@erning the manu- facture and sale of oleomargarine.to pre- yent this custom oa the part of those en- gaged in its manufacture and sale, but the subterfuges resorted to became so glaring that it was determined last year to take summary action by which the purchasing public might be saved from further im- position such as the m'sleading designs and devices alluded to above made possible and easy. Accordingly, October 22, 1895, Collector of Internal Revenue Joseph S. Miller is- sued, with the approval of Secretary Car- lisle, regulations addressed to collectors of Internal revenue concerning the marking, branding, labeling, etc. of tiys or other inner package devices of manufacturers’ original packages of oleomargarine for ex- port. Nothing Confcsing Permissible. The commissicner recited that “it hav- ‘ng come to the notice of this office that certain manufacturers of oleormargarine who expert that product encroach upon the law in the use of private trade marks, Lrands, labels, pleture illustrations and other advertising and descriptive devices placed upon the tins or other inner pack- age devices for separating lumps of oleo- margarine ingide the manufacturers’ orig- inal packages for exportation, the com- missioner of internal revenue, with the approval of the Seeretary of ‘the Treas- ury, established regulations as fcllows, un- der authority contained in section 16, act August 2, 1856: “Hereafter no trade mark, label, brand, picture -illustration or other advertising or descriptive device will be permitted to be used upon the tins cr other inner package devices of manufacturers’ original pack- ages of oleomargarine for export which in any wise conceal the government brand ‘clcomargarine,’ required under section 16 of the act of August 2, 1886, to be branded upon all packages of oleomargarine for ex- port. “Not such trade mark, label, brand, pic- ture illustration, or other advertising or de- seriptive device shall be placed upon the tins or other‘inner package devices i such juxtaposition to the government brand ‘oleomargarine’ as to overshadow or con- fuse that notice as to the nature of the contents of the tins or other inner pask- age devices. Nor shall it be permitted to use upon such tins or other inner pack- age devices, any trade mark, label, brand, picture illustration or other advertising or descriptive device which in any wise in- dicates or is calculated to induce the be- lief that the contents are anything else than oleomargarine, “The gove mt brand ‘oleomargarine’ must stand conspicuously by itself. “No trade mark, label, brand, picture il- lustration or other advertising or de- scriptive device prohibited as above for use upon the tins or other inner package | devices shall in any other form be inclosed in the manufacturers’ original package containing the tins or other inner package devices. “The use of the werd ‘butterine’ in brand- irg tins or other inner package devices of oleomargarine is prohibited by law.” A Still More Stringent Order. This set of regulations was followed the next day, October 23, 1895, by others, which were more sweeping and decisive in their instructions, Commissioner Miller used these words: “No manufacturer of or dealer in olea- margarine will be permitted to use any private trace mark, label, brand, picture illustration, or other advertising or descrip- e device upon any print, roll, or other nold or design of oleomargarine offered for sale, consumption or use, which in any wise Caterpillar Cloths, Astrachan Cloths, Boucle Cloths, Kersey Cloths.

Pawpaw Viyes for Luck. From .the Louisville Cougfer-Journal, minister. preacher over in the sett] who isn’t lost in ‘Tho Farmers’ Loan and Trust Company |. of New York has filed a bill to foreclose a for $7,775,000 on the Lake street Chicago. beats The Rev. T, D. Witherspoon, in a. sermon at Paducah, Sunday,; related an amusing Story of his experience while evangelizing in the mountains. One day while passing & cornfield in Lesle county he was sur- prised to see long strings of pawpaw bark Knotted together and tied to stumps. He asked his guide what that meant, and was } informed that it was “to bring luck.” 5 “And does such a foolish superstition exist all over this community?” asked the “Oh, no,” said the mountaineer, “the old tisment yonder says pawpaw- vines don’t do no g60d.” “An intelligent man!” interrupted Mr. ‘Witherspoon. “I'm glad to find one man ative contivued, “ne “lowe ury officials to extend the time of their go- ing into effect because of the loss they would suffer from being compelled to de- stroy the large amount of packages con- taining devices they had in stock. Accord- ingly the time was extended to February 1, and tomorrow the regulations will be- come operative. A great many retail dealers throughout the country have been under the impres- sion that they would be allowed to con- tinue their custom of using means to con- ceal the true character of oleomargarine, and would be permitted to use private labels and devices as they might see fit. Commissioner Miller said today that this was not the case. The regulations of the treasury would be carried out and enforced to the letter, and after today no manufac- turers of oleomargarine would be allowed to ship any of the article marked other than in perfect conformity with the law and regulations. Retail dealers would be given a reasonable time, a few days at most, to dispose of: the stock they have on hand marked with the former devices, and then they would be also brought up to a rigid observance of the laws and regula- tions. The internal revenue authorities declare that they are determined to see that oleo- margarine shall be sold for what it really is, without subterfuge or deception, and consequently no retail dealer will be al- lowed to use any private design or device, vniess it is used in connection with the word “oleomargarine.” In order to make this plain to all parties engagéd in selling oleomargarine, Commissioner Miller has is- sued an order, supplemental to the order of October 23, which also goes into eifect to- morrow. This order says: 4 The Word “Oleomargarine” is Abso- late. “Jf manufacturers of oleomargarine de- sire to place upon the outside of their orig- inal wooden package. contemplated in sec- tion 6 of the act of August 2, 1886, their names or some word or mark descriptive of the quality of the product, they may do so, provided they aiso brand or stencil on the package the word ‘oleomargarine’ beneath such name, word or mark, so as to be read as a word in association with such name, word or mark; and, if desired, figures and words may be added indicating the form or manner in which the contents are packed.” ‘The Question in the District. Interesting developments will, it is said, be shortly forthcoming regarding the ‘Widespread illegal sale of oleomargarine in the District- of Columbia. It is asserted that certain wholesale dealers in oleomar- garine have endeavored, and in many cases }- succeeded, In securing among tail provision and merchant pes to them that they can safely for butter without fear d promising (With Cloze Patent Thumb.) 4 For a few days only No Branch Store EISEMAN Cor. 7th & E Sts.

It is also known that several retail dealers in oleomargarine who were selling it as butter and got frightened had their fears allayed by being presented with licenses to sell oleomargarine by certain wholesale dealers in it. The District Commissioners have taken the matter under consideration, and it is probable that prosecution of of- fenders against the oleomargarine laws will be inaugurated at their direction. Health Officer Woodward is also examining sev- eral saelyse3 of oloomargarine with a view te ascertaining whether the sale of certain varieties of it cannot be stopped because of their dangerous effects upon the public health. SS Sisters Sigmed Each Other's Will. From the Poughkeepsie News-Press, A very curious mistake, which renders yold two wills and presents an interesting point in the practice of the details of law, was brought out in Surrogate Dorland’s court on Tuesday. Not long ago Matilda and Adeline E. Wescott, sisters, resided near Glenham, in this county. They owned quite an estate, and one day concluded to each draw a will disposing of their prop- erty as each one saw fit. They were going together on a trip through the south, and wanted to have all matters in complete arrangement in case anything should hap- pen to them. Accordingly, the sisters went to their lawyer, Mr. W. E. Anthony of Newburg, and the wills were drawn. It was in signing the wills that the mistake was made. Matilda signed Adeline’s will and Adeline signed Matilda’s will, each sup- posing that she was signing her own will. The sisters made their trip through the south, and finally returned to Millerton, Dutchess county, where Adeline E. died about a year and a half ago. When it came to offering her will to be probated the mistake was discovered: The wills are, of course, both vold, and letters istration will be issued in the dead sister. of admin- estate of them pro- | o'clock Tuesday night. HORSELESS CARRIAGE IN EUROPE. Some Notes Showing the De of This Means of Locomotion, From the Scientific American. The Automobile Club of Paris have ar- ranged a race which is to take place in June, the course being from Paris to Mar- seflies and return. One of the conditions laid down for the race Is that the contest- ants are to proceed only in the daytime. The carriages are to be divided into two classes, the first having two to four places, and the second series is for carriages hav- ing greater passenger accommodation. This club has decided to secure a villa in the Bois du Boulogne, Paris, as a branch of the Automobile Club for use during the summer. A gentleman was recently summoned in England for using a horseless carriage without causing a person to precede it with a flag. It was contended for the defense that the carriage was not a locomotive, but the presiding magistrate considered that the apparatus could be converted Into a locomotive, as it was capable of drawing avether vehicle. The magistrater decided that the motocycle was a locomotive, but as this was the first cuse of the kind, they imposed a nominal fine of one shilling and costs. The lawyer for the defendant eays that a special act of parliament will be re- quired to render the use of such vehicles legal. M. Roger, the inventor and manufacturer of automobile carriages, has made appli- cation te the police authorities of Paris for permits to run a number of horseless car- riages on the streets, for hire at the regu- lar rate of 30 cents 2 drive or 40 cents an hour when hired on the street; when hired from a cab stand the charge is slightly gfeater. That horseless carriages can be run cheaply enough to compete with the regular fiacres is thus shown. ——__+0+-____ A Definition. From the Young Ladies’ Journal. “What is an edition de luxe?” asked a customer in a book store. “It is simply an edition de looks,” was the conclusive reply.
