At that memorable period in the early history of the United States when Ameri- can citizens resented the tyranny of George the Third and his Parliament by destroying a cargo of taxed tea, a Bristol trader arrived the harbor of Boston, having one passenger on board. This person was a young En- glishwoman, named Esther Calvert, daugh- ter of a shopkeeper at Cheltenham and niece of the captain of the ship. Some years before her departure from England Esther had suffered from an afflic- tion—associated with a deplorable public event—which had shaken her attachment to her native land. Free, at a later period, to choose for herself, she resolved on leaving England as soon as employment could be found for her in another country. After a weary interval of expectation, the sea-cap- tain had obtained a situation for his niece as housekeeper in the family of Mrs. Ander- kin—a widow lady living in Boston. Esther had been well practised in domes- tic duties during the long illness of her mother. Intelligent, modest and sweet- tempered, she soon became a favorite with Mrs. Anderkin and the members of her young family. The children found but one fault with the new housekeeper; she dress- ed invariably in dismal black; and it was impossible to prevail upon her to give the It was known that she was not an orphan, and she had acknowledged that no relations of hers had recently died—and yet she persisted in wearing mourning. Some great grief had evidently overshadowed the life of the gentle English housekeeper. On the day before he sailed on his home- ward voyage the sea-captain called to take leave of his niece—and then asked if he could also pay his respects to Mrs. Ander- kin. He was informed that the lady of the house had gone out, but that the governess would be happy to.receive him. At the in- terview which followed they talked of Es- ther, and agreedso well in their good opin- ion of her that the captain paid a long visit. The governess had persuaded him to tell the story of his niece’s wasted life. But he insisted on one condition. “If we had been in England,” he said, ‘I should have kept the matter secret for the | sake of the family. Here, in America, Es- ther is a stranger—here she will stay—and ne slur will be cast on the family name at home. Butmind one thing! I trust to your honor to take no one into your confidence— excepting only the mistress of the house.” More than one hundred years have passed since these words were spoken. Esther’s sad story may be harmlessly told now. In the year 1762 a young man named John Jennings, employed as a waiter at a York- shire inn, astonished his master by announc- ing that he was engaged to be married, and that he proposed retiring from service on next quarter-day. Further inquiry showed that the young woman’s name was Esther Calvert, and that Jennings was greatly her inferior in social rank. Her father’s con- sent to the marriage depended on her lover's success in rising in the world. Friends with money were inclined to trust Jennings and to help him to start a business of his own, if Miss Calvert’s father would do some- thing for the young people on his side. He made no objection and the marriage engage- ment was sanctioned accordingly. One evening, when the last days of Jen- ning’s service were drawing to an end, a gentleman on horseback stopped at the inn. Ina state of great agitation he informed the landlady that he was on his way to Hull, but that he had been so frightended as to make it impossible for him to continue his journey. A highwayman had robbed him of a purse containing twenty guineas. The thief’s face (as usual in those days) was concealed by a mask; and there was but one chance of bringing him to justice. It was the traveler’s custom to place a private mark on every gold piece that he carried with him on a journey; and the stolen guin- eas might possibly be traced in that way. The landlord (one Mr. Brunell) attended on his guest at supper. His wife had only that moment told him of the robbery; and he had a circumstance to mention which might lead to the discovery of the thief. In the first place, however, he wished to ask at what time the crime had been committed. The traveler answered that he had been rob- bed late in the eveuing, just as it was be- ginning to get dark. On hearing this Mr. Brunell looked very much distressed. “T have got a waiter here named Jen- nings,” he said, ‘‘a man superior to his sta- tion in life—good manners and a fair edu- cation—in fact, a general favorite. But for some little time past I have observed that he has been rather free with his money in betting, and that habits of drinking have grown on him. I am afraid he is not worthy of the good opinion entertained of him by This evening I sent him out to get some small silver for me, giving him a guinea to change. He came back intoxicated, telling me that change was not to be had. I ordered him to bed—and then happened to look at the guinea which he had brought back. Unfor- tunately I had not at that time heard of the robbery, and paig the guinea away with some other money in settlement of a trades- man’s account. But this I am sure of— there was a mark on the guinea which Jen- nings gave back to me. It is, of course, possible that there might have been a mark (which escaped my notice) on the guinea which I took out of my purse when I sent for change.” “Or,” the traveler suggested, “it may have been one of my stolen guineas given back by mistake by this drunken waiter of yours, instead of the guinea handed to him by yourself. Do you think he is asleep?” ‘Sure to be asleep, sir—in his condition.” ‘Do you object, Mr. Brunell, after what you have told me, to setting this matter at rest by searching the man’s clothes?” The landlord hesitated. ‘It seems hard on Jennings,” he said, ‘‘if we prove to have been suspicious of him without a cause. Can you speak positively, sir, to the mark which you put on your money?” The traveler declared that he could swear to his mark. Mr. Brunell yielded. The two went up together to the waiter’s room. Jennings was fast asleep. At the very outset of the search they found the stolen bag of money in his pocket. The guineas —nineteen in number—had a mark on each one of them, and that mark the traveler identified. After this discovery there was but one course to take. The waiter’s pro- testations of innocence when they woke him and accused him of the robbery were words flatly contradicted by facts. He was charg- ed before a magistrate with the theft of the money and, as a matter of course, was com- mitted for trial. The circumstances were so_ strongly against him that his own friends recom- mended Jennings to plead guilty and appeal to the mercy of the court. He refused to follow their advice and was bravely encour- aged to persist in that decision by the poor girl, who believed in his innocence with her whole heart. At that dreadful crisis in her life she secured the best legal assistance, and took from her little dowry the money that paid the expenses. At the next assizes the case ,was tried. The proceedings before the judge were a repetition (at great length and with more solemnity) of the proceedings before the magistrate. No skill in cross-examination could shake the direct statement of the wit- nesses. The evidence was made absolutely complete by the appearance of the trades- man to whom Mr. Brunell had paid the marked guinea. The coin (so marked) was a curiosity; the man had kept it, and he now produced it in court. The judge sum- med up, finding literatelly nothing that he could say, as an honest man, in favor of the prisener. The jury returned a verdict of guilty, after a consultation which was a mere matter of form. Clearer circumstan- tial evidence of guilt had never been pro- duced in the opinion of every person—but one—who was present at the trial. The sentence on Jennings for highway robbery was, by the law of those days, death on the seaffold. Friends were found to help Esther in the last effort that the faithful creature could now make—the attempt to obtain a commu- tation of the sentence. She was admitted to an interview with the Home Secretary, and her petition was presented to the King. Here, again, the indisputable evidence for- bade the exercise of merey. Esther’s be- trothed husband was hanged at Hull. His last words declared his innocence—with the rope around his neck. Before a year had passed the one poor consolation that she could hope for in this world found Esther in her misery. The proof that Jennings had died a martyr to the fallibility of human justice was made public by the confession of the guilty man. Another criminal trial took place at the as- sizes. The landlord of an inn was found guilty of having stolen the property of a person staying at his house. It was stated in evidence that this was not his first of- fence. He had been habitually a robber on the highway, and his name was Brunell. The wretch confessed that he was the masked highwayman. who had stolen the bag of guineas. Riding by a nearer way than was known to the traveler he had reached the inn first. There he found a person in trade waiting for him by appoint- ment for the settlement of a bill. Not hav- ing enough money of his own about him to pay the whole amount, Brunell had made use of one of the stolen guineas, and had only heard the traveler declare that his money was marked after the tradesman had left the house. To ask for the return of the fatal guinea was more than he. dared to attempt. But one other alternative pre- sented itself. The merciless villain insured his own safety by the sacrifice of an inno- cent man. After the time when the sea-captain had paid his visit at Mrs. Anderkin’s house, Esther’s position became subject to cértain changes. One little domestic privilege fol- lowéd another, so gradually and so modest- ly that the housekeeper found herself a loved and honored member of the family, without being able to trace by what succes- sion of events she had risen to the new place that she occupied. The secret con- fided to the two ladie@had been strictly pre- served; Esther never even suspected that they knew the deplorable story of her loy- er’s death. Her life, after what she had suffered, was not prolonged to a great age. She died—peacefully unconscious of the ter rors of death. Her last words were spoken: with a smile. She looked at the loving: friends assembled round her bed, and said *““My dear one is waiting for me. Good-by.” —-o-

Burnell, Secretary of Burnell’s Retail Collecting and Reporting Agency, of Marshalltown, Iowa, the editor of Tne TRADESMAN visited Sparta last Friday evening, for the purpose of assist- ing in the formation of a business men’s C. O. Cain was selected to act as chairman and E. C. Fisk as secretary. The constitution of the Hastings Business Men’s Association—which is given in full on another page of this week’s paper—was adopted witha few minor amendments, when the following gentlemen presented their names for charter membership in the Association: C. O. Cain, A. B. Cheney, Ed. Snyder, J. R. Harrison, S8.’S. Hessel- tine,’ J. M. Baleom, O. H. Woodin, E. C. Fisk, Hinman & Ballard, 8. H. Ballard, M. B. Nash, L. E. Paige. The election of officers resulted as fol- lows: President—J. R. Harrison. _ Vice-President—S. S. Hesseltine. Secretary—M. B. Nash. Treasurer—S. H. Ballard. Executive Committee—President, Secre- tary, Treasurer, L. E. Paige and A. B. Cheney. The appointment of the Business Com- mittee was deferred until the next meet- ing. Mr. Burnell addressed the meeting on the subject of concerted action in dealing with the delinquent, and Mr. Stowe explained the aims and objects of the Michigan Busi- ness Men’s Association, suggesting that the benefits secured would warrant the Sparta Association in becoming an auxiliary to the State organization. A system of blanks was adopted—one to be sent out by the merchant and one by the Banker Cheney—when the meeting ad- journed. The Sparta Business Men’s Association starts out under favorable auspices and will undoubtedly play an important part in the development of Sparta and the prosperity of her business men. a a 9 Traverse City Business Men’s Associa- tion. TRAVERSE City, Oct. 11, 1886. E. A. Stowe, Grand Rapids: DrEAR StR—Enclosed please find express order for $8.90, as per capita tax for our Association. Our regular meeting held Oct. 5 was a rouser. After hearing reports from the del- egates to the State Association, the members expressed themselves as highly pleased at the honor and courtesy shown the delegates by the Grand Rapids Grocers’ Association, and they also expressed their gratitude to the other delegates for the honor shown our Association by electing our President to the office of President. The matter of early closing was talked’ quite freely and I think some good wil arise from it, as one firm [Hamilton & Mil- liken—Ep.] has already commenced early closing, keeping open two nights in the week. Other firms will soon follow. The matter of collecting bad aceounts was discussed and a new method presented by President Hamilton was laid before the meeting and finally referred to the Ratiug Committee to decide upon.

Burnell, Secretary and Manager of the Burnell Retail Collecting and Reporting Agency, putin a couple of days at Grand Rapids last week, seeking rest and recrea- tion and information relative to the plan of the Michigan associations. When the sys- tem was explained to him, he was free to assert that the Wolverine organizations were on a broad and solid foundation, from which no earthquake could shake them. Mr. Burnell’s operations extend entirely over Iowa and Nebraska and over a portion of Kansas, Illinois, Wisconsin and Minne- sota, and the results are so satisfactory that he contemplates enlarging his scope of op- erations, Association Work in Cleveland. From the Cleveland Leader, Oct. 6. The Retail Grocers’ Association met in executive session last night at the Board of Trade rooms. The doors were guarded by a stalwart sergeant-at-arms to keep out re- porters. that the members would feel no delicacy in mentioning the names of their delinquent customers. One hundred and twenty gro- cers were present, and all took an active in- terest in the proceedings, twenty-eight new members being received. Twenty-five resi- dents of Cleveland who failed to pay their grocery bills were placed on the delinquent list and turned over to the tender mercies of the law department. The law depart- ment reported that $125 of delinquent debts had been collected during the past two weeks, a large portion of which had been ontlawed. The secretary was instructed to inform signers of the two petitions for the organization of the original society, and the members of the same before the recent con- solidation, that they would have to sign the new enrollment books before they would be recognized as members of the new associa- tion. The discussion of the evening was upon the liquor question. A: number of grocers sell liquor and the law department asked if they were supposed to collect liquor bills for the members. After an hour of sharp debate, it was decided that the as- sociation’ was for grocerymen and that the liquor league would protect the liquor inter- est. The law department was instructed to collect no liquor bills, but if a delinquent debtor wanted to pay such a bill they could receive the money. The matter of incorpor- ation was discussed and action indefinitely postponed. The meeting last night was the best attended of any yet held, and the gro- cers are very much encouraged over the rapid growth and deep interest taken in the association. : fe -o- The Cooperage Market. Thus far, the present season has been a fair one, but has been neither above nor be- low the average. Prices remain extremely moderate and the demand is not as large as it should be for this time of year. Taking it as a whole, Michigan must be ‘‘looking up” in the cooperage industry, for while a few years ago most of the large stave mills sent the greater part of their stock to dis- tant markets, they now find sale for most of it in their own State. There are no indi- cations of a “boom at present, although there will be a great demand for apple bar- rel stock the latter part of: the present month. > AD

CrAWFoRD S. KELSEY, Pres. Mivh. Div. T. P. A. _— ee Working for the Repeal of the ‘“‘Drummer Tax.” M. J. Matthews, chairman of the Legis- lative Committee of the T. P. A., has sent the chairman of each state Legislative Committee the following circular: DEAR Srr—Please obtain as soon as possi- ble the name and address of all congres- sional candidates in your State, of all par- ties, and the number of their congressional districts and when obtained send to each a eopy of the enclosed letter. Preserve on file for future reference their replies, and as early as possible in October, not later than the 20th, advise the members of your State Division which particular congressional candidates have pledged themselves to ad- vocate the enactment of laws to prohibit the enforcement of all ‘‘Drummer Tax Laws.” This Committee will forward you in a few days an appeal to the members of the Asso- ‘ciation to be accompanied with a letter from you which we have taken the liberty to print for your signature. When you re- ceive it send it with the appeal to the names and addresses of the members of your State as given you by the Secretary a short time ago, and as per our instructions, that will be sent you regarding same in a few days. Please report progress of your com- mittee work to the Chairman of the Nation- al Committee on the first of each succeed- ing month, beginning with October. This Committee desires in its annual re- port to make favorable mention of the work done by each State Division committee. This Committee recoginizes its field of la- bor to be entirely of a national character, and has no desire to dictate regarding the interests of the Association where affected by State legislation, but will, however, willingly act in an advisory way, if called upon to do so by the chairmen of State com- mnittees. In this connection ‘we may be permitted to say that each State Committee can do very effective work in the election of State legislators or assemblymen, they mak- ing our United States senators. In all matters of a local or State nature the chairman of State Legislative Commit- tees have absolate authority as committee- men to devise any plan of procedure they may think for the best interests of the As- sociation, making a report of their work to the chairman of the National Legislative Committee, to be incorporated in their quar- terly and annual reports to the Board of Directors and the Association. Gentlemen, the highest honor that can be conferred upon a committeeman is the un- animous approval of his constituents. . The letter to be forwarded congressional candidates, above referred to, is as follows: DEAR Srr—There are 200,000 commercial travelers in the United States. They are prominent among the recognized representa- tives of the commercial interests of this Great American Nation. In many of the principal cities, states and teritories there exists and are being enforced the so-called “Drummer Tax Laws.” These laws have been repeatedly declared unconstitutional (in several test cases) by the Honorable, the Supreme Court of the United States. They are unjust and obstruct the prosperity of the nation. All commercial interests de- mand their abolition. The manufacturing and the wholesale interests of the North, East and West call for congressional enact- ment prohibiting the enforcement of these unjust laws. ‘There is now pending before Congress a bill known as the ‘‘James Bill,” that is said to be adequate to the necessi- ties of this case. The Travelers’ Protective Association of the United States has a well organized membership and is in favor with the mer- chant and traveler, all directly interested in the growth and prosperity of the nation, and are associated for mutual benefitgand pro- tection. This Association desires your aid and as- sistance (if elected to Congress), in the pas- sage of the ‘James Bill,” or some other constitutional bill that may become a law, which will prohibit the enforcement of these unjust {‘License Laws.” Commercial travelers and members of the Travelers’ Protective Association and residents in your congressional district de- sire to know your sentiments on the forego- ing subject, and are awaiting your.unquali- fied answer to the following questions: Will you vote for and favor the passage ~ i “James Bill,” if it is a constitutional ill? If the ‘‘James Bill” is found to be defee- tive in its provisions, or does not pass, will you prepare or encourage the preparation of anothey bill and persistently urge, during your term, the enactment of a law that will prohibit the enforcement of these unjust *-Drummer Tax Laws?” Your reply, if received on or before Octo- ber 15th inst., will be announced to the commercial voters of your congressional dis- trict not later in the month than the 25th ‘in- st. If no reply is received from you by the 15th of October it: will be understood that you do not care to promise to render us the aid we ask for. GRAND RAPIDS GAIN AND SEED CO.

At the regular semi-monthly meeting of the Retail Grocers’ Association, held last Tuesday evening, the following applications for membership were received, all the appli- cants being elected: Jay F. Ferris, 51 Mon- roe street; G. H. DeGraaf, 221 South Divis- ion street; Thos. Wasson, 111 Canal street; Edwin White, corner Broadway and Sixth street; A. J. Ten Raa, 202 Watson street. B. S. Harris, chairman of the Committee on Entertainment for the recent State Con- vention, reported the receipt of $460 from. subscriptions, and 58 from the sale of tickets, making a total of $518. The expenses of the entertainment were $216.50, leaving a balance of $301.50. On motion of E. A. Stowe, Mr. Harris was instructed to procure a certificate of deposit for the amount, which will be held in trust by the Associa- tion as an entertainment fund. The following communication ceived from the State Association: GENTLEMEN—We enclose herewith a copy of the Constitution and By-Laws of the Michigan Business Men’s Association, and take this means of informing you that you are entitled to representation in—and parti- cipation in the benefits of—the Association, on the payment of an annual per capita tax of ten cents, which should be remitted to the Secretary immediately. This will entitle your organization to representation at all Conventions, on the basis of one delegate for each ten members or fraction thereof, and also entitle you to valuable information secured by the Delinquent Department, rel- ative to the residence changes of poor-pay- | ing customers. Trusting that you will conclude to make your organization auxiliary to the State As- sociation, we are Yours truly, EK. A. Srowk, Sec., FRANK HaAmiuton, Pres., Grand Rapids. Traverse City. On motion of A. J. Elliott, the communi- cation was accepted and placed on file, and Treasurer Harris was instructed to forward to the Secretary of the State Association a check for $11, as per capita dues for 110 members. Collector Cooper reported the collection of $81.07 since the iast meeting. On being asked for an informal report as to the result of his investigations into the present sys- tem of granting licenses to peddlers, he stated that the whole question is aptly ex- pressed by the term ‘‘political influence.” For instance, G. S. Clark, who has paid tax- es for years on a store, stock and dwelling - house, is compelled to pay at the rate of $100 a year for the privilege of peddling on the streets with a one-horse wagon, while Ed- was Tre- ward Loucks, whois a miserable, shiftless ; vagabond, is granted the privilege of hux- $12 per year. The reason given for such discrimination is that Loucks would other- wise have to be supported from the poor fund, but the real reason is that he was for- merly a saloon keeper, and is supposed by the alderman and supervisor of his ward to have some political influence with the low- er elements of society. Is was on their re- commendation and representations that Mayor Dikeman granted him a license at the figure named. Jas. A. Coye thought that the Association could make little headway in regulating the peddler until the charter is amended so as to provide for the establishment of a mar- ket. 1f the city can compella farmer to sell his hay and wood at a stated place, it can extend its franchise so as to inelude butter and eggs as well. Some doubt being ex- pressed as to the constitutionality of such a measure, Mr. Coye asserted that. the city owns the streets and has the right to pre- scribe whether traffic as well as travel shall bé carried on therein. On motion of A. J. Elliott, the meeting adjourned. <> -9- << “Delinquents Will Get Shut Off.” From the Hart Argus. There seems to be a misunderstanding with reference to the County Business Men’s Association. Responsible parties who pay their debts can still get credit, but those who get goods, for which they do not intend to pay, will get shut off. Delinquents will get ample notice before being put on the dead-beat list. After the time they are ‘| given has expired, they are notified by let- ‘| ter, and then before being put on the dead- beat list they are again notified and time given them to get around. We believe the Association will be a benefit to all honest people concerned. Those who pay will get their goods cheaper, because they will not be obliged to pay 10 to 15 per cent. more for bad debts, and will help to build up busi- ness relations which will be more satisfac- tory all around. <> -9- <—__——-- The Grocery Market. Business is good and collections are fair. Sugars are even a trifle weaker than they were a week ago. Valencia raisins con- tinue to decline. Canned pumpkin is moy- ing upward at a rapid pace. Jamacia oranges are now more plenty and prices a [shade lower. Lemons are also a little lower in price, but the fruit is more or less green and hard. The new crop of figs will begin to arrive in a few days. Nuts are firm and in good demand. Chestnuts, on account of the mild weather and light frosts, are not coming in to speak of. A cold snap would soon bring them to time. The weather of late has been fine and the demand for candy unusually heavy. Prices are steady. ee i ee Good News from Oceana County. Harr, Oct. 7, 1886. E. A. Stowe, Grand Rapids: DEAR Sm—Enclosed please find $1.50, per capita tax on fifteenmembers, which will entitle us to membership in the State ASso- ciation. Although we had only fifteen members on October 1, we now have forty-three names enrolled, and 1 think that by our next meet- ing,every business mdh in Hart, Shelby and Pentwater will be with us.

Editor MICHIGAN TRADESMAN: DEAR Srr—Since I took hold of the edi- torial work on this paper one month ago, I have tried to stir up my readers on the sub- ject of retail associations. I have been so successful that on this day I have received three requests for instructions and by-laws for associations. Ihave none, but would like to get some of those used by the Michigan Associations, if possible. Can you help me in this matter? Yours, JoHN B.

At the regular monthly meeting of the Grand Rapids Pharmaceutical Society, held at Tue TRADESMAN office last “Thurs- day evening, O. B. Dickinson was elected a member of the Society. H. B. Fairchild, of the special Committee on Finance, reported that $278 had been col- lected for the purpose of meeting the ex- penses of the State convention. The report was accepted and thanks rendered the Com- mittee, John E. Peck being extended a ris- ing vote of thanks for volunteer services on the Committee. Chairman Stowe, of the special Commit- tee on Printing, reported that the work as- signed the Committee was well under way. The report was accepted. Communications were received from the Woman’s Relief Corps and Custer Post, G. A. R., declining to relinquish their right to hold their regular meetings on the afternoon and evening of October 13. A resolution was adopted requesting the Executive Committee of the State Associa- tion to accept M. B. Church’s invitation to the convention for the second afternoon of the State meeting. H. B. Fairchild requested that the Presi- dent call another member of the Society to the chair, as he wished to introduce a mat- ter of personal interest to the chairman. The President called W. L. White to the chair, when Mr. Fairchild introduced the fol- lowing resolution and moved its adoption: Wuereas, Tur MIicniGAN TRADESMAN has nominated our honored President for President of the Michigan State Pharmaceu- tical Association, and A. W. Allen, of De- troit, for Secretary: and WueErrEAS, We recognize in both these gentlemen all the attributes necessary to the suecessful discharge of the duties devolving upon the respective positions; therefore Resolved, That we do cordially endorse said nominations, and will use all henorable eudeavors to secure the election of the gen- tlemen named. The resolution was unanimously adopted, when Mr. Wurzburg was recalled to the chair and thanked the Society for their nnsolicit- ed efforts in his behalf.. He assured the meeting that he did not seek the office, but in case it should come his way he promised to discharge its duties to the best of his abil- ity. Dr. Watts suggested that inasmuch as many of the visiting druggists would be ac- companied by their wives, it would be in or- der toadd Dr. Phoebe A. French and sister to the Reception Committee. Mr. Watts put the suggestion in the form of a motion, which was adopted. On motion of Wim. H. Van Leeuwen lo- cal Secretary White was instructed to rent additional chairs for the meeting, and secure such assistance as might be necessary, and on motion of Mr. Peck, he was instracted to incur any additional expense deemed -neces- sary for the occasion. A letter was read by Jas. A. Bassett, denying that he ever advised druggists to ‘stay away from the convention, but admit- ting that he had stated to the trade that the meeting would not be of sufficient interest to warrant his attending it. The latter was placed on file, and on motion of Dr. Watts, “Tne TRADESMAN was tendered a vote of thanks for its outspoken course in relation ‘to the matter. The meeting then adjourned. -WURZBURG AND ALLEN. Endorsement Everywhere of the Winning Ticket. As stated,in Tins Tr.ipesmMAwn last week, there appears to be only one opinion as to who should sueceed the present President and Secretary of the Michigan State Phar- maceutical Association and that opinion was voiced by THE TRADESMAN in pre- senting the names of Frank J. Wurzburg and A. W. Allen for the positions named. Since the nominations were made, nearly one hundred letters endorsing the gentle- men have been received by the editor of ‘THE TRADESMAN and the members of the local Pharmaceutical Society, from which it would appear that no one would be so foo!- ish as to’attempt to contest the claims pre- sented by the friends of Messrs. Wurzburg and Allen. As will beseen by referring to the report of the Grand Rapids Pharmaceutical Society, that organization cordially endorsed both nominations at its regular meeting last Thursday evening and the Detroit Pharma- ceutical Association unanimously adopted the following resolution at its regular meet- ing on Wednesday evening: WuereEAs, Tue MICHIGAN TRADESMAN has nominated Frank J. Wurzburg, of Grand Rapids, for President of the Michi- gan State Pharmaceutical Association and A. W. Allen, of this city, for Secretary; and WAEREAS, We consider both gentlemen admirably qualified to fill the positions named; therefore Resolved—That this Society cordially en- dorse said nominations and that the mem- bers will use all honorable endeavors to se- cure their election. Among the many letters received from members of the Association since the nom- inations were made are the following: A DETROIT ENDORSEMENT. : DeErrort, Oct. 7, 1886. E. A. Stowe, Grand Rapids: DEAR Sirn—Your nomination of Frank J. Wurzburg, of Grand Rapids, for President and A. W. Allen, of this city, for Secretary of the Michigan State Pharmaceutical Asso- ciation is ‘a good one, and will receive my hearty support. A personal acquaintance with both of these gentlemen convinces me that they are just the men for the positions mentioned. Yours respectfully, FRANK INGLIS. ANOTHER DETROIT ENDORSEMENT. DETROIT Oct. 6, 1886. E. A. Stowe, Grand Rapids: DEAR Sir—I am in receipt of sample copy of THE TRADESMAN. Please accept my thanks for same. It is plain to see that THE TRADESMAN fills a long felt want among the merchants of Michigan and should be heartily supported and patron- ized by every live business man in the State. I also see mentioned the names of F. J. Wurzburg and A. W. Allen for President and Secretary of the M.S. P. A., respec- tively, and I would say as a member of that Association that I freely endorse both candidates. I am only acquainted with Mr. W urzburg by reputation, but I think the presidency is justly due to Grand Rapids and that the Association will not make a mistake in electing him. As to Allen, I am sure amore prudent selection could not be be made, for his past history shows him to be one of the most earnest and hard-work- ing members of the Association. ° Wishing continued success to TRADESMAN, I remain, Yours respectfully L. G. BLAKESLER. DR. MUELLER’S CHOICE. Detrnrior, Oct. 9, 1886. E. A. Stowe, Grand Rapids: DrAR Sir—lI cheerfully endorse the nom- ination of Mr. Wurzburg for President and Mr. A. W. Allen for Secretary of the M. S. P. A. for the ensuing year. Kgspectfully, J. C. MUELLER. A GOOD SELECTION. DETROIT, Oct. 8, 1886. E. A. Stowe, Grand Rapids: Drar Sin—lI heartily endorse the nomin- THE ation of Mr. Wurzburg for President and Mr. Allen as Secretary of the Michigan State Pharmaceutical Association. A better selection, 1 think could not be made. Yours respectfully, F. A. Cooker. FROM THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. Drrrorr, Oct. 7,. 1886. E. A. Stowe, Grand Rapids: : DraAn Srr—I heartily endorse your nom- inations of F. J. Wurzburg and A. W. Allen and shall do all in my power to help elect them. I think this is the feeling of all Detroit members. Yours respectfully, F. W. K. Perry. TREASURER DUPONT SPEAKS. *« Derxortr, Oct. 8, 1886. E. A. Stowe, Grand Rapids: DEAR Srr—The article appearing in your valuable journal of October 6, headed ‘‘A Look Ahead” is timely and opportune. The advocacy of Mr. Frank J. Wurzburg for President and of A. W. Allen for Secretary meets with my hearty approval. Yours truly, Wm. Dupont. ——— i -o-- a Do Not Overlook Us. Peck Bros., 129 and 131 Monroe street, beg to extend the hand of welcome to the members of the Michigan State Pharmaceu- tical Association. Their doors will be wide open on the 12th, 13th and 14th. Their prescription clerks, Messrs, V. H. Middle- ton, F. Aldworth and assistant M. Kibboon { heartily join us in our efforts to take in the strangers, and also Mr. W. E. Osborne, C. Shaw, M. Clark, L. Birdsall, C. Clark, J. Bosma and M. Brewer each and all desire to greet their old friends, while cordially inviting as many new ones as will do them the honor to call and look over our stock on the occasion of the annual meeting of the Michigan State Pharmaceutical Association. tespectfully, Peck Bros. > ____ The Drug Market. Acid citric continues to decline. Opium is easier. Balsam copaiba, cubeb berries, chloroform, oil cloves and cloves are ad- vaneing. Iodine and its preparations have declined, with a tendency to still lower fig- ures. Glycerine is very firm at the advance. Wood alcohol continues scarce and high. Salicylic acid has advanced, on account of small stocks, to $2.25. The State Meeting. i The annual meeting of the M. 8. P. A. is an assurred success, enough members hav- ing already arrived to warrant the statement that the present convention will be the larg- est ever held by the Association. ‘The only change in the programme thus far is the sub- stitution of a special train for carriages to con- vey the members to the plaster quarries, the large number who will avail themselves of the invitation rendering such a change nec- essary. The exhibitors have gotten their goods in place in exhibit hall, the display being the largest and finest ever made in this State. Local Secretary White, who has worked like a beaver to render the exhibit depart- ment a suecess, expresses a good deal of warmth over the action of Jas, E. Davis & Co., the Detroit jobbing house. He says the house was the first applicant for space last March and was assigned the best loca- tion in the hall. ‘‘About two weeks ago,” said Mr. White, ‘‘Davis wrote me, with- drawing his application, and in the mean- time his man Bassett went around among the trade with the statement that the meet- ing would’ not be worth attending. Now Davis comes here witha big exhibit and five men, opens up at one of the hotels, and is doing all he can to draw druggists away from the meeting and the regular ex- hibit. I thought it was mean enough for Bassett to go around lying about the Asso- ciation, but Davis’ action is even more con- temptible.” > -9- <> -—--—-- Visit to the Plaster Quarries. A pleasant feature of the programme pre- pared for the entertainment of the members of the Association is the proposed visit to the mills and faetories of the Alabastine and Anti-Kalsomine Companies. A gen- eral invitation has been extended to mem- bers to be present at exhibit hall at 1:50 o’clock p. m., on Wednesday afternoon, the 15th inst., where they will be met by rep- resentatives of the two companies, and es- corted to the union depot, where special trains will be in waiting on the C. & W. M. and G. R. & I. railroads to convey them to their destination. A very enjoyable as well as profitable experience awaits all partici- pating in the trip. i Greeting to the Trade. To the Retail Drug Trade: The Hazeltine & Perkins Drug Co. ex- tend to the drng trade’of Michigan a cordial invitation to make their establishment headquarters while in attendance on the an- nual meeting of the State Association next week. Every convenience which we can arrange to enhance the pleasure of your visit will be at your disposal, and we are prepar- ed to give all a cordial weleome.

Cant Hook Corners, Sept. 9, 1886. Editor MICHIGAN TRADESMAN: DEAR Sir—Your letter, enquiring as to the probabilities ot our all being dead up here or not, just came to hand. We are alive yet and I think we are getting on pret- ty fair. To be sure, business is not so rushing as to keep us up nights, but still it is gaining. Our losses from bad debts are not near so much as in previous years and that is a comfort. 1 like the platform and constitution first rate that was adopted at the Michigan Busi- ness Men’s Association the other day. I am sorry I could not have been there, but the fact is, Algernon was off hunting and fishing for ten days—he has to have a little crack at the squirrels and patridges every September—so, as my other clerk, Bill Sim- monds, has never been able to rightly un- derstand the exact distinguishing difference between epsom salts and oxalic acid or tar- tar emetic and roshell salts, 1 am obliged to keep him mostly in the grocery, dry goods and hardware departments and attend to drugs myself, when Banks is away. This is my excuse. My brother-in-law, who lives in Grand Rapids, writes me that the convention call- ed on me to get up. I spose they wanted a speech. I amever so much obliged to the convention, butif I had have been there, such is my native modesty, I should have just as like as not been afraid to get up. My brother-in-law, John, is a grocer, and he is all taken up with the convention. He says “That editor of Tuk TRADESMAN is stirring up things over this State to beat the dickens.” I think so myself. At our last N. W. P. A. we resolved that you ought to have the champion belt as an organizer. It is certainly wonderful the way the movement has spread. I notice that other states are catching the epidemic. Let the good work go on. 3 We are not trying so much to reform others, as we are trying to reform ourselves. That is the beauty of it. A few more cen- turies of this loose way of doing business and trade would go to the everlasting bow- wows. We must bear in mind that there are lots of mercantile dead-beats, as well as others, and we must discountanance them. In ease I should be able to attend the pharmaceutical convention, which is highly probable, I think it would be well for me to go in disguise, under some such name as Bandervilt or Gay Jould; because, you know, they might callon me for a speech and I should feel like falling through the floor. I am terrible bashful. Bilson says I have no more cheek than a government mule, and I guess I haven't. Yours truly, SoLIMAN SNOOKS, General Dealer. Soap Made from Wool Fat. The French chemists have solved the prob- lem of what shall be done with the millions of pounds of waste grease known as wool fat, by finding a means of turning it into soap. The fat having been heated to the melting point absorbs certain compounds of sulphur, for which it seems to havea remark- able chemical affinity, to the extent of re- taining in a fixed state one hundred times its volume of sulphureted hydrogen. When the fat thereafter is allowed to cool, it is found to be soap. Thecombination of sub- stances destroys the distinctive unpleasant odor of both, the mixture being fine and of perfect homogeneity. From the interesting report of Consul Williams, at Rouen, giving these particulars, it is learned that manufac- tured soap of this kind has already taken its place as a commercial product in France. It is not a toilet soap, but it is so cheap that it is likely to displace soaps based on soda for many important uses, particularly in vine culture and horticulture as a defense against the insects that prey upon plants. None of the plant vermin like asulphur application. The soap would also have its sanitary uses as a powerful disinfectant, and perhaps a remedy for some cutaneous ailments. If this wool fat can thus be usedas a soap, it may be profitably used up. As half the weight of wool is grease, whatever may be obtained from the waste goes to cheapen the cost of woolens in the long run, thus adding materially to human comfort. —_——_——_> The Ruling Passion. It was a dying dry goods clerk, who, af- ter being visited by a benevolent lady who sought to smooth his journey to the other world, turned his glassy eyes upon her, af- ter she had ceased speaking, and softly en- quired: ‘‘Anything else to-day, ma’am?” s+ The Mill Has Stopped Grinding. “Was that your wife I heard talking just now??? ‘I guess not. She’s closed for repairs,” ‘*What do you mean?” ‘‘She has gone to the dentist’s.” —————__- 6 = One of the Fellows We’re After. Grocer—I’ve called with that little bill, Mrs. Short. ' Mrs. Short—Oh, I’m sosorry; my husband has gone away, and won’t return for a week. Hoarse whisper from behind—Make it a month, Sarah, make it a month. EES “Something in Double Width?” Fat old lady (in dry goods store)—I will look at your dress goods. Clerk—Yes, ma’am. Something in dou- ble width? —_——_—~> ++ The Toronto co-operative ’bus association has wound up its affairs. é The °° QOOw UN SF FORE?
