STIGMA OF A NAME.
NO CHANGES IN" AMERICA. No German in America is to be allowed to chance his name. A doctor, Isodure Charles Weinsweig, asked the State Supreme Court to allow himself to be known as Irving Warner; but Mr. Justice Russell told him he would not grant permission for people to change their names, where the effect of doing so was to enable persons of"Germanic extraction to conceal their origin and practise deception on persons who dealt with them in ignorance of sufh origin.
