If others have to pay more and ask you more, in April, or May, or June, it's because they are not, like us, prepared by early buying or by immense orders, to keep the prices stationary. The ribbon business we've built with your help permits us to order without stint. And when the months arrive that other stores will pay more than we ask you to-day, we'll still have for your protection great quantities of goods bought at old prices this, too, in the face of our phenomenal ribbon business. To-day we tell you of some especially low prices lower than even this ribbon store usually boasts.

BEFORE THE COURT Kolb Estate Suing Stewart Company for Alleged Trade-Mark Infringement ARGUMENTS OF COUNSEL Mr. Pettit, for the Plaintiff, Points Out the Business Value of a Tried Trade-Mark The case of Louis J. Kolb, trustee of the estate of John G. Kolb, deceased, versus the Stewart Bread Company, was argued in Common Pleas Court No.

4 yesterday morning before Judges Arnold, Willson and Audenreid. The litigation hinges on the use of the trade-mark "My Mother's Bread," which has been the property of the Kolb estate since 1891. Within the past few weeks the Stewart Bread Company has been labeling its bread "Mother's Bread," and advertising as follows: "Ask your grocer for Stewart's Mother's Bread. Made from the highest grade of flour with the latest improved machinery, at Stewart's Bakery, etc." The court was csked to grant a permanent injunction restraining the defendants from using the trade-mark in dispute. The case is one of importance in that the decision of the court is likely to affect the use of several other trade-marks, and the practice of one firm's adopting, with slight alteration, the successful trade-mark of another firm, will be stopped- Horace Pet-tit, counsel for the plaintiff, outlined the history of the case and showed conclusively that the Stewart Company deliberately appropriated the name, to which they had no right.

In May, 1891, Ferdinand Hubert, a baker living in Troy, New York, began using a trade-mark, consisting of the words "My Mother's Bread," for the bread which he sold. Subsequently Hubert removed to Brooklyn, and on March 22, 1892, had the trade-mark registered. The mark was purchased by Louis J. Kolb in behalf of the estate of John G. Kolb, February 11, 1899.

The Kolb estate labeled all its bread "Mother's Bread," and expended large sums of money in bringing it before the public. Thousands of dollars were expended in providing proper machinery far the manufacture of the bread, and a public demand has been created for the goods by their superior qualities. TRADE-MARK WAS COPIED. Attorney Pettit showed how the Stewart Company had infringed on the trade-mark. The latter not only copied the size and style of the bread manufactured by the Kolb estate, but even went so far as to sprinkle the loaves with flour, thus giving them the same general appearance as Kolb's bread.

Pettit took the stand that although the Stewart labels were entirely different in appearance from those displayed on Kolb's bread, and consisted of the words "Stewart's Mother's Bread," yet there was an infringement. The trademark consisted in the word "Mother," argued Mr. Pettit, and its qualification by various adjectives was immaterial and did not relieve the defendants from infringement and liability. He further averred that the Stewart Bread Company being aware of the great popularity and demand for bread bearing this trade-mark, is deceiving the public, and injuring the plaintiff's business by using this trade-mark or a counterfeit of it on bread. John G.

Johnson, counsel for the defendants, argued that he trade-mark is not a valid one, and therefore does not entitle the plaintiff to its ejierfiSlve use. It is likelythat a 'decision will be rendered this morning. FORTUNE'S SOLDIER BURIED Henry Herbert Grayaon, American Adventurer, Laid to Rest Out in Arlington Cemetery yesterday was burled the body of Henry Herbert Grayson, soldier-of-fortune. The funeral services took place in the office of Colonel J. Lewis Good Son at 921 Spruce street.

The expenses of the funeral, were paid by the same firm. The history of H. Hamilton Grayson, for such was the name unjier which he went, would have made a volume of adventure more thrilling than any fiction. An American, born In Ohio In 1847, he was recommended for the Victoria Cross by Colonel Baden-Powell for unselfish devotion to duty in the field. When nothing more than a boy he wandered off to Siberia and there fonnd employment in the gold fields.

Later he became a mining engineer. Grayson's knowledge was broad and deep and it had all been hewed out by himself through hard work and bitter experience. After leaving Siberia he lived in Africa and South Africa for twenty-five years. He was employed in the diamond mines at Kimberley, having been appointed to that position by direct order of Cecil Rhodes. For a number of years he was superintendent of the large rubber plantation, 'Lorenza," situated in Bahia, Brazil, and comprising some 30,000 acres.

He was also superintendent of the "Hacienda Chama" plantation of 25.000 acres in Guatemala, Central America. Mr. Grayson was one of the leading experts in rubber in thevworld. At the time of his death he was employed by the Mexican Plantation Company in the Drexel Building. A crowd of curious persons and friends of the dead man gathered in Colonel office during the ceremonies.

The services at the grave were witnessed by but few. A Veteran in Trouble War's aftermath is demonstrated in the case of Thomas Bailey, of 718 North Hancock street. Bailey was a seaman on the revenue cutter Hugh McCullongh during the battle of Manila. He went through the whole fight on board that plucky little ship. Being an educated man he kept a diary of that great naval fight.

Afterwards he was presented with a bronze medal for his services. These were the honors. The aftermath is the fact that exposure weakened his lungs. At present he is without work, and not feeling equal to another cruise, is striving to gain a position as porter or watchman. Stopa the Cough and works oft the Cold.

The case was tried before Judge Fin-letter in the Criminal Court.

Lieutenant O'Brien, of the Third district, was the only witness examined. "Wanted A Conscience," he had not read, but he had waded through "Sapho," and was of opinion that it was imomral and indecent. Certain photographs which he had purchased in Kahler's place, and which were in the nude, spoke for themselves. The matter was left entirely to the jury, who, armed with copies of the books and the photographs, retired to deliberate. They wrestled with the matter for a couple of hours, sufficiently long to read the books, and then returned with a verdict finding the defendant guilty.

Without making any comment whatever, Judge Finletter sentenced Kahler to an impris- fstrff one year. Hardwood Step Ladder, 5 well made, bucket rest, 45c.
