ACTION
ON
NOTE — ELECTION — ATTORNEY'S
FEES.
1. Where each of a series of notes contains a
stipulation that default in the payment of any
one of them shall, at the holder's election, mature
all of them, the institution of suit on all the
notes, within a reasonable time after default in
payment of one, is sufficient notice of the holder's
election.
2. Where a note stipulates for the payment
of attorney's fees " i f collected by suit," it is
not necessary in a suit on the note, to allege or
prove action brought to entitle the plaintiff to
include attorney's fees in his judgment.

HE LAST OF THE DANVERS." This
Danvers was a Georgian, who fought
through tre war on the Northern side. After-
ward he led a body of men to found a colony in
Montana, and was killed in a fight with the
Indians on the same day of the same month
that his ancestors for generations back had
been killed. This curious incident is the whole
meaning of the book. The tale is full of remin-
iscences and anecdotes of the war.—Daily Picay-

GOOD WILL—TRADE-MARKS.
The Kentucky Court of Appeals held, in the
recent case of Mattingly et al. vs. Mattingly et
al., that where a firm which owned and operated
a distillery, upon the product of which they had
for many years used the firm name as a trade-
mark, sold and transferred the distillery and also
the "good will of the firm name" and " a l l
trade-marks, brands and labels " belonging to
the firm, the members of the firm had no right
thereafter to similiate any of the brands or trade-
marks thus transferred or to resort to any other
fraudulent device to cause the public to associate
with the distillery sold goods manufactured at a
different place, or to receive letters addressed to
the firm name, or to fill orders manifestly refer-
ring to whisky manufactured according to the
established and long used formula at the distil-
lery in question, and in an action brought by the
purchaser of the distillery for that purpose the
chancellor properly enjoined them from doing
any of these things. The court said that the
mere fact that plaintiff company had prior to the
commencement of the action been in the habit
of placing upon the revenue head of each barrel
of whisky manufactured at the distillery from
defendants a brand representing the old firm as
"distillers," even if it was a fraud upon the
public, did not deprive plaintiff of the right to
the relief sought.
case of default, etc.. to return it, and permit the
company or its agent to enter his premises and
take it—the transaction is a sale, and such in-
strument is a chattel mortgage.
2. In replevin by the vendor of a machine un-
der a mortgage to secure the price, defendant
cannot interpose a counterclaim for damages for
breach of warranty of the machine. Talbott v.

INFANCY—GOODS OBTAINED BY FRAUD.
In an action against a minor for goods sold
and delivered to her pursuant to a bargain made
by her father, who, with her knowledge and
consent, was using her name, and doing business
under it, under such circumstances that persons
dealing with her might suppose that her father
was the one who owned the business, it is rever-
sible error to refuse to submit to the jury the
question whether the minor obtained the goods
by fraud, since, if such were the case, she would
be liable for the price.

Texas, March 8th, 1894.

A NOVEL piano stool is being introduced,
which, by a very simple and ingenious arrange-
ment, enables two seats to be constructed from
the one stool, says the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The pillar supporting the seat can be divided,
the two legs of each part being supported by an
iron bracket resting on the floor and giving the
required stability. The circular top is in two
pieces, one fitting over the other, and these are
divided and adjusted to form a double seat,
which bhould be found convenient for duet play-
ing.
