A Warning.

Pain is given for the wise purpose of inform-
ing us of the presence of danger and disease.
Any little excitement of an unusual nature
disturbs the balance of the system, the ner-
yous energies are exhausted, and headache
and a hundred other disturbances are the re-
sult. Many of the miseries of modern man
and womanhood might be cured and prevent-
ed were their approach heeded and resisted,
having their origin in derangements of the
liver and blood, aye prnene jaundice, indiges-
tion, costiveness and other unwW holesome con-
ditions. Evils of a diseased nature find a cer-
tain cure by the use of Golden Seal Bitters. In
this medicine, nature, aided by art, has pro-
duced a rare combination of medicinal prop-
erties, wisely adapted for the cure of diseases
common to mankind. The vitilizing principles
embodied in Golden Seal Bitters w ill assuredly
eure the broken down dyspeptic. Soid by Haz-

existence, making business safe both for
the merchant and his customers.

A CARD.

Tn presenting to the trade my COUPON SYS-
TEM, which has been revised and improved, I
claim that I have the most complete, safe and
cheapest system for simplifying business on
the market. Customers can send their ser-
vants with the Coupon Book to the store with
no danger or discrepancies, as by the record
which is kept on inside covers, amountof each
sale is recorded. <All books are numbered
when so!d, and when not paid for in advance,
are secured by note, one of which is in every
book. Every Coupon has engraved signature
of the merchant, together with the card; cov-
ers have the merchant’s advertisement on, and
their size makes them desirable to the custom-
er as well as the cashier. As they are now
made the smaller numbers below the five cent
can be detached, same as the larger ones, thus
obviating the necessity of a punch and stamp.

MERCHANTS CONTEMPLATING CHAN
ING FROM CREDIT TO CASH, can still hold
their old customers by introducing this sys-
tem, which I claim is the only system where
both customers and merchants are absolutely
protected against all loss. Send for sample.

HOW TO ORGANIZE.

Tur TRADESMAN is in frequent receipt
of inquiries from merchants in towns which
are not so fortunate as to have protective
associations, asking how to proceed to effect

an organization. With a view to setting
forth the usual course pursued, Tile

TRADESMAN herewith presents the follow-
ing modus operandi:

First, talk with every merchant in the
place, for the purpose of working up a sen-
timent in favor of an organization. When
the feeling is sufficiently strong to warrant
the calling of a meeting, circulate a paper
for signature reading somewhat as follows:

We, the undersigned merchants of ———,
feeling that the time has come for an asso-
ciation of the retail trade, having for its ob-
jects the protection of its members against
dead-beats and bad-pay customers and the
correct of other trade abuses, hereby agree
to meet at on ——-——— evening,

 

 

           

Mar. purpose of effecting such
an org asic [ Signatures. |

When the merchants are assembled at the
appointed time, some one familiar with the
objects of the meeting should call the gath-
ering to order and suggest the nomination
of a chairman. When the nomination is
made he should put the question to a vote
and announce the result. The chairman
should then take his seat and suggest the
appointment of a suitable person for secre-
tary. As soon as asecretary is installed,
the chairman should announce the fact, that
the meeting is now ready to proceed to bus-
iness, and some one present should offer a
resolution similar to the following:

Resolved—That we do now proceed to the
organization of a retail dealers’ association.

If the resolution is adopted, it is in order
for some one present to move the appoint-
ment of a committee on constitution and by-
laws, to be composed of three or more mem-
bers. In making up the committee the chair
should be particular to select those persons
who have given the subject the most thought
and who would be apt to give the matter the
attention its importance demands. After
the announcement of the committee, it is
proper for those present to exchange views
relative to the objects sought to be achieved
by the association, the scope of jurisdiction
and membership limit and the powers and
duties of the officers. It is frequently de-
sirable to appoint a committee on nomina-
tions, which shall cast about during the
week, with a view to securing the best per-
sons available for the several officers pre-
seribed by the constitution—subject, of
course, to the adoption of the report of the
committee on constitution and by-laws.
Such a procedure enables the organization
to expedite matters by electing oflicers the
same evening the constitution is adopted.
There being no further business, the meet-
ing should adjourn until such time as the
committee on constitution and by-laws will
be ready to report, when the adoption of the
report and the election of officers complete
the formal organization. Then begins the real
work of the association, concerning which
Toe TRADESMAN will have something to
say hereafter.

Incivility of Clerks.
From the Chicago Grocer.

If there is anything on earth that. exas-
perates an intelligent man or woman it is
the rudeness of the clerks who stand behind
the counters in retail stores. it would be
i~npossible for a well-bred person to submit
to such treatment and his or her pat-
ronage is forever withdrawn after any insult
of the kind is offered. The polite clerk is
rare and is searcely ever found in large cities
of the West. Why it should be so is a mat-
ter of a good deal of doubt in our minds.
In Western cities there are scarcely half a
dozen stores where one can go and be treat-
ed courteously. We do not mean that posi-
tive insult occurs, but the apparent indiffer-
ence of the salesman as to the wants of the
customer; with no evident desire to please:
with an air of sufferance, which is intoler-
able, and the evident desire noteto be dis-
turbed in their meditations are all exasper-
ating. Weean only account for it by be-
lieving that atsome time in the lives of these
clerks, fortune has showered upon them its
golden rays, and when stern want has faced
them and necessity compelled the accept-
ance of a salesman’s position, they have be-
come inert, listless, morbid and enviously
jealous, that their worst nature comes to the
surface and they cannot bear to wait upon
people, who may at the moment be posses-
sed of the Almighty Dollar. But this is all
wrong! To as have lost fortune a
strong desire -to make the occupation a
source of recreation should be the prevailing
thought.

Outside of the large cities we do not find
such a state of things. Clerksare generally
personally acquainted with their customers
and strive to please in every way. It may
be well argued that clerks are subjected to
groundless abuse from customers and pain-
ful though it may be, the best course to pur-
sue is to be polite and courteous to all with
whom we have dealings. If your calling is
a humble one ennoble it by the manner in
which you discharge its duties, and you will
challenge the respect of all wnose opinion
is worth having. The day has long gone by
when a man needed to hang down his head

such

because of the humbleness of his vocation.

Rules Observed by Successful Business
Men.

Discount your bills when you ean.
Always pay exchange when remitting.

Demand what is right and do what is
right.

Do not discount a bill when one that is
due remains unpaid.

Weigh everything measured by weight
which comes into your house.

Keep your stock neat and clean; trim it
often and do not allow ‘‘odds and ends” to
accumulate.

Always give 16 ounces for a pound, but
don’t under any circumstances give 17. The
extra ounce is your profit.

Do not let your bills run
time for discount and then
counts.
gift.

Do not feel offended if a statement is
sent you after the maturity of a bill. The
money is then due, and the merchant has a
right to ask for it.

Pay invoices as they mature. This makes
it better for all coneerned, as errors are
thereby avoided, and it is an easy matter to
check up the account.

When a statement is sent to you for ex-
amination and comparison, give it attention,
and if it does not agree with your books re-
port where difference oceurs.

When you return goods or have occasion
to make a charge against the party from
whom you purchased, send a bill that he
may examine the charge and eredit you.

If you have in your employ a clerk who

can guess ‘‘exactly” the weight of anything
he is selling, ‘‘fire him” and get a clerk who
can read a seale beam correctly.

Take an inventory every year, at least,
and get acquainted with your stock, then
sell all inferior stock at its value. If you do
not it will be worthless when you inventory
again.

The merchant who meets all obligations
promptly, and who looks upon his eredit as
a part of his stock-in-trade, deserving his
best treatment, is pretty sure to succeed in
any tndertaking.

When bills are not paid promptly and
draft is made, pay the face of the draft, col-
lection and exchange charges, as bills are
payable at the office of the seller, and your
neglect or delay should not cause him extra
expense.

To Keep Insects Out of Rhubarb.
From the American Druggist.

As long as rhubarb is kept in bottles,
drawers, or boxes which are not perfectly
tight, there is always a chance of insects
getting at it. This is, of course, the case
with many other drugs. When insects have
once made their appearance, the best rem-
edy, in our opinion, is to transfer the affect-
ed drug to vessels which can be perfectly
closed—tin canisters which ean be soldered
with fusible metal are best—and to intro-
duce, the vessel, a sponge
saturated with bisulphide of earbon. Fora
space of about one cubie foot, 2 fluid drams
earbon is sufficient. The
sponge should be so situated so that it will
not come in contaet with the rhubarb. When

How Pat Took Medicine.

A lady who lives not a hundred miles
miles from Grand Rapids has a pony of
which she is very fond, but not long
she thought that he was a little droopy,
she called ina veterinary surgeon, who pre-
seribed a powder for the equine favorite.
The next morning she asked her man of all
work:

“Pat, did
cine?”

“T put it with his hay, mum,”
ply, ‘‘but he’s the cunningist little
iver saw. Heetall the hay, but not a_ bit
of the powther did he touch at all. Oh, PU
fool him to-night. Ill give it to him sure.”

The next morning the lady ealled Pat
again and was surprised to see him looking
very rueful.

“What's the matter now?” said she.

“Faith, mum, I got a big glass pipe an’ I
put the medicine in it, an’ I backed the
pony in the corner. I put the pipe in his
mouth an’ wos just goin’ to blow it down
him, but he breathed first, an’ I hev the
powther in me instid of in him.”

How it affected the Hibernian has not yet

pure caseine. It becomes more difficult to

hence less wholesome. The caseine in skim

The House Committee on Judiciary has
given notice that the majority will report
the Lowell bankruptcy bill to the House on
the 18th, while the minority will report a
substitute bill, which will be constructed
from the measure recently introduced by
Mr. Seney. The Seney bill provides that a
debtor may assign for the benefit of his
creditors, and at the end of a year petition
the local court for a release. If it shall ap-
pear that during the six months last preced-
ing the assignment there was no preferment
of ereditors a release from bankruptcy shall
be granted. It seems hardly possible that
the country will receive any bankruptcy
legislation at the hands of the present Con-
gress.

The recent decision of the Indiana Su-
preme Court, relative to telephone charges,
is of interest to the whole country. The
law of the state expressly limited charges
for the use of these instruments to $3 a
month. The Bell company tried to evade
the law by additional charges for the neces-
sary accessories of the instrument. The
court rules this illegal, holding that charges
for a telephone cover all necessary accessor-
ies in the view of the law. This does not
promise to be a good year for the big cor-
porations.

 

The red-streaked Rose potato, which had
few friends and many enemies last fall, bobs
up serenely through the clamors of the
Southern buyers and planters, who prefer
the Rose to any other variety, claiming that
the red streaks do not injure it for planting
purposes.

The factory has a capacity of 800 seats per

necessary to operate it to its full capacity
before many months roll around.

Major A. B. Watson, who is the custod-
iad of the various creditors interested in the
Grand Rapids Veneer and Panel Co., is en-
deavoring to secure the co-operation of all
the stockholders in a project to subscribe
sufficient funds to put the institution ona
solid basis. It is claimed that the concern
is now earning considerable over expenses,
and that the acquisition of sufficient capital
will enable the management to conduct the
business successfully and eventually pay
back to the stockholders the $18,000 which
has apparently been sunk in the enterprise.

Miscellaneous Dairy Notes.

Gibbald & Baker’s creamery at Jonesville
is ready to begin operations.

Creameries will shortly be in operation
at Port Huron and Imlay City.

Manton and Colfax are agitating the sub-
ject of a creamery for each place.

Rufus Baker & Co. commenced making
cheese for the season Monday, March 1.

C. B. Lambert, the well-known dairyman,
is spending a few days in and around Grand
Rapids, looking after a number of anticip-
ated creamery contracts.

Michigan is literally swarming with the
agents of creamery supply manufacturers,
who are profiting by the wonderful awaken-
ing on dairy subjects in this State.

Wm. Dorgan, who acted as maker for E.
J. Savage, in the Coopersville cheese fae-
tory last season, is agitating the subject of
starting a cheese factory at Big Springs.

The Williamston Creamery Co. has been
formed at Williamston with a capital stock
of $4,500 for the purpose of erecting a
creamery and operating the same; using the
Fairlamb system.

Richard Redhead, formerly operator of
the Coldspring cheese factory, at Hilliards,
later operator at the Springdale factory,
at the same place, and during the season of
1885 owner of the Amber factory, at Zee-
land, died on thetst.

tufus Baker & Co. paid off the patrons
of their ‘“‘Home” factory March 1. The
milk at this factory netted the patrons about
one mill more per hundred than at B. E.
Peebles’ factory, owing, no doubt, to the fact
that Mr. Baker held cheese longer and thus
realized better prices.

Shaver & May jaave run a small factory
near Fairfield for two years past, and for
1885 make the following showing: Pounds
of milk received, 312,991; pounds cured
cheese, 31,325; number of cheese made, 849;
pounds of milk for one of cheese, 9.99; gross
sales, $2,621.57; manufacturing of cheese,
$313.25; net sales, $2,308.32; net per 1,000
pounds of milk, 87.3734.

The Coopersville cheese factory began
operations May 25, 1885, and closed Oct.
30. During that period there was received
at the factory 462,524 pounds of milk from
which was made 45,550 pounds of cheese,
taking 10.15 pounds of milk for one pound
of cheese; average price per pound 8.7 cents;
expenses for making cheese and drawing
milk at $2.50 per hundred, $1,138.75; secre-
tary’s expenses, $27.34; expenses for tele-
phoning and traveling, $15.05; expenses for
bill heads, statements, pass books and let-
ter heads, $8.50; for drawing cheese, $2.10.

the road from Grand Rapids, and if a ship
should be sinking and Wilcox should be
ealled on for a prayer—there would be no
prayer. Wilcox sells tobacco and carries no
testament.

a
New York Dairy Market.

Butter shows unmistakable signs of weak-
ness and prices generally favor buyers. The
home trade is not buying freely, and expor-
ters do not want anything except odd cheap
parcels. Choice creamery is held at 28@384c
and dairy is in fair demand at 23@2éc.

Cheese is in light demand as the exporters
are not anxious operators. Full creams are
weak at 884@10c, while Pennsylvania skims
are moving freely at 314 @4e.

Sayings of George Elliott.

It is mere cowardice to seek safety in ne-
gations. No character becomes strong in
that way.

A feeling of revenge is not worth much,
that you should care to keep it.

The very truth hath a color from the dis-
position of the utterer.

Where a great weight has to be removed,
we require not so’ much selected instruments
as abundant ‘horse-power.

It is better sometimes not to follow great
reformers of abuses beyond the threshold of
their homes.

Any coward can fight a battle when he’s
sure of winning; but give me the man who
has pluck to fight when he’s sure of losing.

—_--_—»+ >

Teacher to boy whose father keeps a cor -
ner grocery—‘‘Johnny, if your father has
100 eggs and 20 of them are bad, how many
does he lose ?” Johnny—‘‘He don’t lose
any of them. He sells the bad ones toa
restaurant keeper to make omelettes of.”

  

Grand Rapids Pharmaceutical Society.
The regular March meeting of the Grand
Rapids Pharmaceutical Society was fairly
well attended. Jacob Jesson, of Muskegon,
was an apparently interested listener.
The Secretary read the following letter
from the Jackson Association: _
JACKSON, Jan. 8, 1886.
Grand Rapids Pharmaceutical Society:
Sms—At the last meeting of the Jackson
County Pharmaceutical Association, the fol-
lowing resolutions were adopted:
Resolved—That this Association heartily
concur with the action of the Grand Rapids
Society on the subject of the distribution of
free samples by manufacturers and agents.
Resolved—That this Association disap-
proves of the manufacture and sale of sam-
ple bottles, and that, as an Association, we
suggest the co-operation of sister Associa-
tions, in inducing manufacturers to discon-
tinue such practice. Respectfully,
F. H. Kine,

Secretary Jackson County Pharmaceuti-
cal Association.

Wm. L. White moved that from and after
April 1 the members of the Society refuse
to handle sample bottles of patents and that
the Secretay be instructed to notify sister
societies of this action. Mr. White stated
that he had corresponded with several man-
ufucturers and that they all expressed them-
selves as glad to stop the practice, whenever
atked to do so by the trade. Mr. White
suggested that the resolution be made to
cover 10 cent samples, also.

O. H. Richmond said that too many $2
coughs were cured with 10 cent sample bot-
tles.

John E. Peck said he thought the Society
had no right to discriminate agalnst anything
which bears a price.

The resolution was then adopted.

Jacob Jesson, on being asked to make a
few remarks, said the State Board of Phar-
mach had registered 2,760 regular pharma-
cists and 171 assistants. In addition to the
above 37 out of a class of 39 passed at the
Detroit examination and 37 out of 56 at the
Grand Rapids examination. The Board did
not intend to discriminate in any way, but
it was not more than right that it should re-
fuse to register any applicant who cannot
answer more than 25 to 30 per cent. of the
question asked. He was aware that there
was more or less dissatisfaction with the
law, but expected to see it die out. The
main difficulty has been experienced from
local fights in small towns, which it is not
the duty of the Board to settle.

Dr. Isaac Watts then read a paper on
“Dangerous Compounds,” which will ap-
pear in fullin THe TRADESMAN for next
week.

Dr. Locher presented the following sub-
ject for discussion at the next meeting:
“Drugs and medicines liable to deteriora-
tion and the best methods of preserving
same.”

O. H. Richmond was requested to present
a subject for discussion at the May meeting.

The meeting then adjourned.

Getting Rid of Bill Collectors.

Brown—lI’ve got an excellent plan for
getting rid of bill collectors.

Gregi—Ha! That so?

B.—I have. Never fails.

G.—Then, old fellow, you must let me
into the secret, for I’m worried to death by
’em.

B.—Well, I’ve tried it several times of
late, and I find the man never comes back
again.

G.—Ay, ay, what do you do?

B.—I pay him.

“Hable Usted Espanol?”
“Oh, go out and chase yourself.”

At a meeting of a joint committee of the
Retail Grocers’ Association and the Grand
River Horticultural Society held in this city
on March 8, for the purpose of considering
the feasibility of establishing a market in
the City of Grand Rapids, it was resolved
that in the opinion of the committee a mar-
ket is very desirable and a public necessity
for our city. A conmittee of three was ap-
pointed to look up a site for such a market
and report at the next meeting, and the
meeting adjourned for one week at same
place.

tion:

Living as we do in an age of reform and
associating ourselves together as an organi-
zation for the purpose of effecting such
changes as will be conducive to the best in-
terests of the retail grocery trade of Grand
Rapids, the question naturally arises, what
reforms are most needed and which of the
many questions that claim our attention is
entitled to our first consideration? Fore-
most among these questions is the practica-
bility of selling fresh vegetables by weight,
and as all the members of this Association
are familiar with the details of the business
they have probably realized in past exper-
ience how extremely unsatisfactory it is to
sell by measure or count such goods as
string beans, spinach, asparagus, cabbage,
ete., and probably we all have had a com-
mon experience in attempting to make a
profit on such vegetables when they would
only hold out three pecks to the bushel and
in rare cases, have been surprised and de-
lighted to realize five pecks. So, also, in
goods by the barrel. Where they vary from
2 peck to half bushel, it is impossible to
make accurate computation and certain it is
that these inequalities are detrimental to the
best interests of both producer and consum-
er as well as to the retailer. There seems to
be a unanimity of sentiment on this subject
among dealers and no doubt such a reform
could be accomplished, if some practical
standard of weights could be adopted; and

it would not be veryjhard to arrive at definite
conclusions, having, as we do, the example
of the New York Association, which has
adopted the following resolutions and pro-
poses to adhere to them rigidly:

Wuerras—We believe that uniformity
in the contents of packages of all vegetables
shipped to this market would be a great
benefit, not alone to the retail trade, but to
the best interests of the shippers thereof,
and commission dealers as well; and

WuerEeas—After full and fair discussion
and thorough examination by our members
in regard to the best mode of buying and
selling such vegetables shipped to this mar-
ket, therefore be it

Resolved—That this Union recommend
the following standard of packages and
weights and ask all receivers of such veget-
ables to instruct their shippers to comply
with the same. .

Green peas-—-}¢ bbl.crates 25 Ibs., 34 bbl.

crates 40 Ibs., bbl. 75 Ibs.

Green beans—1¢ bbl. creates 25 Ibs., 14
bbl. crates 40 Ibs., bbl. 75 Ibs.

Tomatoes—}¢ bbl. crates 40 Ibs.

Spinach, pus up dry—per bbl.

net.

Sprouts and Kale, put up dry—per bbl. 50

Ibs.

Cabbage—number of heads and weight

marked on package.

Cucumbers—actual count marked on each

package.

Squashes—number and weight on each

package.

Sweet potatoes and yams—150 Ibs, to each

bbl.

Beets—weight or number of bunches on

each barrel. And be it further

Resolved—That shippers be requested to
grade all vegetables sent to this market.

 

50 Ibs.,

It is fair to presume that this is an excel-
lent standard, considering that the New
York dealers adopted it after careful consid-
eration, and that many of their members
have had years of practical experience in the
business. Here also is a list of weights for
small measures, which would be considered
accurate:

Per quart. Persmal] measure.

Old potatoes, 5 lbs 5 Ibs
New potatoes, 2)¢ lbs 41¢ lbs
Yel. turnips, 3 Ibs 5 Ibs
White turnips, 24¢ Ibs 41¢ lbs
Beets 21% lbs 41¢ lbs
Sweet Potatoes 24 Ibs 41¢ Ibs
Apples, 21¢ Ibs 4 Ibs
Onions, 2 Ibs 314 lbs
Tomatoes, 214 Ibs 4 Ibs
Peas, 114 lbs 2 Ibs
Beans, 1 4b 1°34 lbs

Carrots and parsnips, when not bunched,
should be sold at so much per pound.

Spinach, sprouts, field salad and water
eresses should be sold at so much per
pound.

Later in the season peaches, pears, ete.,
should be calculated on the saine basis.

It is pleasing to note that some progress
has been made in this direction, for we find
lettuce sold by the pound almost entirely in
this city, and one retailer on Monroe street
was enterprising enough to sell string beans
by weight during the entire season last year,
with satisfactory results.

All things considered, it is a ‘*consumma-
tion devoutly to be wished,” and the co-
operation of producers and shippers would
be productive of great benefit to all parties
concerned.

last meeting of the Retail Grocers’ Association
of Grand Rapids.

Brief Digests of Recent Decisions in Courts
of Last Resort.’

 

PEDDLERS LICENSES NOT UNCONSTITU-
TIONAL.

The constitutionality of an ordinance of
the city of Dubuque, prohibiting peddling
without a license, was involved in the case
of Wondover vs. City of Dubuque, decided
by Judge Shiras, of the United States Dis-
trict Court. The plaintiff, a citizen of New
York, was arrested on the charge of ped-
dling without a license, and sued the city
for damages. The judge dismissed the suit,
holding that the ordinance was not in con-
flict with the Constitution of the United
States.

CONVEY ANCE——CONSIDERATION—- CREDI-
TORS.

A father conveyed to his son an interest
in his property, the consideration for the
deed being that his son would live with and
aid him in his declining years. The grantee
having left his father, the father required
that he should convey the property to anoth-
er son upon a likeconsideration, ‘The Ken-
tucky Court of Appeals held that the latter
deed was not fraudulent as to the creditors
of the grantor, he never having paid his
father any consideration for the property,
and having acted in good faith and in ac-
eordance with his contract made at the time
he accepted the deed.

 

INDIVIDUAL LIABILITY OF ASSOCIATES,

The ease of Johnson et al. vs. Corser et
al., decided recently by the Supreme Court
of Minnesota, was one in which it appeared
that certain persons undertook to associate
themselves together as a corporation, but
did not take the proper steps to that end.
They did, however, make contracts as a cor-
poration, and the creditors sued them as in-
dividuals and recovered judgments which
were sustained by the Supreme Court. The
court held that the attempt to incorpor-
ate was ineffectual to limit the indi-
vidual liability of the associates, and that
upon any contract which they might be
found to have authorized to be made, or
whieh they might have ratified, although in
terms the contract was made as the contract
of the association or assumed corporation,
the members might be held to an individual
liability.

AGENCY—AUTHORITY TO COLLECT.

The general manager of a limber com-
pany, having authority among other things
to eoilect money on checks for the company,
presented to a bank for payment a check for
$300 drawn in favor of the company and on
the bank, and the officers through mistake
paid the manager $800 instead of $300. The
company afterwards refused to return to
the bank the $500 paid in excess over the
amount of the check, and the bank sued the
company therefor. The Supreme Court of
Kansas held (Kansas Lumber Company vs.
Central Bank of Kansas) that thegbank was
entitled to recover; that the general manager
in receiving the $800, was acting in the
course of his employment; that the money
paid to him was money paid to the com-
pany, and that the latter was liable for the
$500 in excess of the amount of the check,
whether the general manager everlaccount-
ed to the corporation therefor or not.

 

POWER OF STATE TO FIX TELEPHONE REN-
nnennetinnd saanisiice naan
TALS.

The Supreme Court of Indiana has unan-
imously decided that the act passed by the
last legislature regulating the rentals of tel-
ephones in the State and reducing the charge
for services from $5 to $3 a month is consti-
tutional. State vs. Hackett, decided on the
20th inst. The court holds alsofthat extra
charges above $3 amonth€made by tele-
phone companies for alleged services are
illegal. The view taken by the court is that
the telephone has become a common carrier
in the sense in which the telegraph is a com-
mon carrier; that all the instruments and
appliances used by a telephone company
in the prosecution of its business are, con-
sequently in legal contemplation devoted to
public use; and that it is now a_ well- settled d

jegal proposition that prope rty thus devoted
toa public use, according to the court, is
not the taking of property for a publie pur-
pose within the meaning of section 66, arti-
cle 1, of the constitution of the State, nor is
such regulation and control an interference
with the guaranteed rights of the citizen in
private property. The court holds that the
obvious deduction from what has been said,
as well as from the authorities cited, is that
the power of a State Legislature to prescribe
the maximum charges which a telephone
company may make for services rendered,
facilities afforded or articles of property fur-
nished for use in its business, is complete.
Regarding the right of the Zeompany to
charge separately for the various articles
used in the telephone service, claiming that
the rental fixed by law did not apply to all
of them, the court says: Ina general sense,
the name ‘‘telephone” applies to any instru-
ment which transmits sound beyond the lim-
its of audability, but, since the recent dis-
covery the name is technically and primar-
ily restricted to an instrument or device
which transmits sound by means of electric-
ity and wires similar to telegraphic wires.
* * * Jn view of the condition of things
shown to have existed on April 12, 1885, we
feel] constrained to hold that the word ‘‘tele-
phone,” as used in the act of that date, was
intended to desiginate an apparatus compos-
ed of all the usual and necessary instru-
ments for the convenient and ready trans-
mission and reception of telephone mes-

sages, and not toa single instrument only.

as a business place is rapidly growing and
the largest lumber camps in Wexford and
Missaukeée counties procure their supplies at
this place. Among the number may be
mentioned Thayer Lumber Co.’s Nos 1, 2,
and 3, Geo. W. Moore’s, T. D. Stimson’s,
Ducey Lumber Co.’s, Paul Lux’s, Watson &
Co.’s, and numerous smaller camps. The
number of business houses are constantly
increasing and a bank will be opened here
about April 1. A flour and feed mill is great-
ly need and would command an extensive
patronage. The C. & N. E. Railway con-
nects this place with Cadillac and it is ex-
pected that the G. R. & I. will be extended
to this point early next summer. The more
sanguine confidently look for the Toledo &
Ann Arbor and the C. & W. M., but with-
out these latter Lake City’s prospects for
the future are most promising,

Cadillae.

 

Dry goods merchant P. Medalie has gone
to New York to purchase his spring stock.

Manager J. E. Walker, of the Telephone
exchange, says Cadillac may be connected
with Grand Rapids this spring, previded
$2,500 in stock or serip is taken here.

The prospects for a new three-story brick
block, four stores wide, to be built here this
spring are now very bright and the belief
prevails that it is an assured certainty. It
will be the largest and most elaborately fin-
ished of any here.

W. H. Curran, formerly bookkeeper for
O. S. Whitmore & Co., is intown. He will
soon locate in California.

F. A. Clary who broke his ankle at Macki-
naw about ten days ago, is doing finely and
will soon be on deck again.

Perry Nichols has sold his meat market to
F. H. Hutchinson, recently of Cleveland,
who will continue the business at the old
stand. :

A. E. Smith, proprietor of the City Drug
Store, has just returned froma several weeks’
visit to friends at Manitowoe, Wis.

J. C. Pollard, who has been building Jno.
Koopman’s new flouring mills at Falmouth,
has returned home.

For some timereports have been circulated
that LaBar & Corells new brick block
was unsafe and that the foundations were
giving away. The owners emphatically
denied these assertions and claimed that the
building was as substantially built as the
majority of buildings in this State. At the
Yast session of the Board of Supervisors it
was decided that since the county occupies
the entire second floor with court room and
offices a committee of three competent archi-
tect should be selected to inspect the build-
ing. ‘Two from Grand Rapids and one from
Big Rapids were selected and they gave the
building a thorough” examination, —pro-
nouncing it perfectly gafe. This will un-
doubtedly silence the croakers.

The Hardware Market.

The hardware market has been without
incident. All lines have held their own so
far as volume of business is concerned, and
in some branches slight improvements may
have taken place, but such have not been
worthy of mention. All classes of general
hardware, shelf and case goods have been
in good seasonable demand, but farm im-
plements, garden tools, ete., and tools of
pretty much all kinds for out-of-door use
are most favored. Builders’ hardware is in
fair demand also, and the same may be said
in lesser degree of wagon and carriage
, hardware for repair work. For new work
the latter is quieter. Heavy hardware sells
slowly, but the improvement heretofore no-
ticed in railway supplies continues. - Barbed
wire is as last reported. It is not selling
actively, but gives some promise of a good
season’s trade.

At the regular semi-monthly meeting of
the Retail Grocers’ Association, held on the

“Vegetables by Weight,” which is published
in full in another part of this week’s paper.
The paper was accepted and laid on the
table for future reference.

H. A. Hydorn stated that he had been
requested by the officers of the Grand River
Valley Horticultural Society to request the
Retail Grocers’ Association to appoint a
committee of three to act in concert with a
similar committee from that Society to pre-
pare a memorial to the Common Council,
praying for the establishment of a market
place. On motion, the chair appointed as
such committee Messrs. Coye, Hydorn and
Walker. Mr. Coye declining, the President
was substituted in his place.

Jos. H. Terrill said he objected to the
term ‘‘strictly confidential,” as used on the
delinquent lists. He thought they ought to
be treated as publicly as possible and posted
up ina conspicuous place in the store of
every member of the Association. He would
have the names printed in large type and
the attention of everyone called to the list.

E. E. Walker expressed similar senti-
ments and Jas. A. Caye stated that he was
of the same opinion. The only objection he
could see to the plan was the fact that some
of the grocers might lack wall room.

E. A. Stowe stated that those who ex-
pressed themselves in favor of making the
lists public overlooked one important point
—the illegality of such a move. He said
the courts had held that no one has a right
to publish the fact that another owes him
until the creditor has first thrown the claim
into a judgment. He alluded toa former
eustom of publishing delinquent lists in
THE TRADESMAN—a practice which he
ceased when advised by the best legal talent
that he was laying himself liable to prosecw
tion for damages by so doing. Unless the
Association wished to figure in the role of
defendant in a law suit, the sheets better be
regarded as “‘strictly confidential.”

On motion, the chair appointed Messrs.
Walker, Donaven and Elliott a committee
to ascertain whether the members of the As-
ciation have a legal right to exhibit the
sheets to their customers.

President Elliott stated that the Associa-
tion was giving too much of its time to the
dead-beat question. ‘There are subjects
equally as important, which should receive
attention and action. Foremost among
these is a discussion of the subject of selling
fruits, vegetables and eggs by weight and
putting an end to the sale of adulterated
goods. The Association ought to put itself
on record on these questions and take such
action as would tend to bring it tothe atten-
tion of the consuming public. The latter
should be made to look upon the Associa-
ton as the champion of pure goods and cor-
rect weights and measures and anything
which would have a tendency to bring about
friendly feeling on the part of the consumer
should be heartily welcomed. The Presi-
dent exhorted those present to ‘‘extend their
thoughts above the great subject of collee-
tions.”

Jas. A. Coye moved that it be the sense
of the meeting that some representative job-
ber be invited to address the Association on
the subject of adulterated goods at the meet-
The motion was adopt-
ed, but an attempt to throw the doors open
to the public failed.

W. E. Knox said he believed the public
was ready to buy eggs by weight, whenever
the Association voted to adopt such a rule.

A. J. Elliott said he bought a crate of eggs
of a certain commission house last week,
which contained very large eggs on one side
and extremely small ones on the other.

Milo G. Randall thought it would be diffi-
cult to get eggs of the farmers, if the weight
system was adopted.

A. J. Elliott thought the system could be
put into practice without any trouble, as the
farmers would sell those who bought by
weight the large eggs and those who bought
by count the small ones.

Jas. Coye referred to the large amount of
eggs marketed in the vicinity of Hastings,
and ventured the assertion that if Grand
Rapids adopted the weight system she
would get all the large eggs, while the
small dnes would go East.

Treasurer Harris reported $32.45 cash on
hand, and the meeting adjourned.
