THE JEWEL THAT JOHN FOUND. It was about five minutes after the second and last whistle had blown at Dart’s shoe factory when Annie Velga came running up the street, panting and red of face. John Dart, standing on the steps talking with two strangers, smiled as she came up and said in slightly surprised tones: ; **You are late this morning, Miss Velga —something never before know.” “Yes, sir. Iam sorry, but I overslept myself.” “Up late last night—had a beau, _per- haps?” suggested John roguishly. *‘No, sir,” retorted Annie, promptly and rather snappishly, for, even though he was he nephew of William Dart, the great shoe man, and the prospective heir to all his wealth, she considered he was taking a lib- erty, especially before strangers. Perhaps pretty and prim little Annie had some other reason, too, for resenting his reqnark. ‘Pretty girl,” said one of the strangers after she had passed. “Yes,” assented John, ‘“‘and about the neatest, quickest girl ever in the work- room,” and then the stranger began talking again very earnestly, as before Annie came up the steps. “Well,” said John, ‘“‘of course you may satisfy yourself, but I can tell you before- hand there is not one of our girls whom we do not trust. It will take you about all day for they live in all directions from here, if you have to search their rooms. As uncle says I must go with you in that case, the sooner it is over the better for me.” Then they all three went up stairs to the girls’ workroom. ‘*Will those who stopped at Dingus’ jew- elry store last night, on the way home from work, please stand up?” said John. Over half of them stood up, while John took down their names and the numbers of their rooms and the detectives watched each face keenly. So far noone was dis- turbed by a guilty conscience. After ascer- taining beyond a doubt that all who had been in the store reported, John announc- ed: ‘‘We have received word that a valuable amount of jewelry was stolen from this firm last night at about the hour you were there, therefore suspicion has fallen upon you, and each girl must allow her room to be searched if the goods are not previously found upon her person.” So.the search began. A quiet, trusty girl, much older than the others, and who had not been with them the evening be- fore, was appointed to conduct the personal investigation in another room. One after another left the workroom to return in a few minutes declared innocent, until the officers were satisfied none of the goods were at the factory. ‘*Now,” said John, when the last girl had returned, ‘‘will each one of you give me your keys in turn, for I must aceom- pany this officer in his search while the other remains here.” “Not this morning,” spoke up Annie Velga, quickly, while the smart detective felt the jewels in his grasp, so to speak, and the reward in his pocket. John look- ed surprised—some said he turned a trifle pale as he looked into Annie’s flushed, guil- ty face, **Yes, of conrse, this morning,” he an- swered gravely. ‘‘What difference it, Miss Annie?” “None,” answered Annie, hastily; but as John took her key, the detectiveithinking it best to search her room at once instead of in her turn, she burst out erying and seem- ed so broken down the remaining ofticer feit justified in placing her under arrest. is John had visited Annie’s room before, just once, not many evenings before, He had taken her a book to read and a small basket of fruit, thinking that as neat a way to begin his courtship as any. He had thought as he left that evening it was the prettiest, brightest little room he had ever seen, far exceeding any in his uncle’s grand mansion. He had little thought the next time he climbed the stairs to room No. 32 would be upon such a painful errand. He could not believe sweet little Annie guilty until it was proved, yet he climbed the steps unwillingly, and with more unwilling fin- gers turned in the lock the key Annie had surrendered. When the door was open he stood for a moment irresolute. The room seemed the same, yet not the same _ either. Where, the evening he had called, a pretty Japanese screen had stood, was now a rather shabby though scrupulously clean little stove, and thereon a_ skillet with a few potatoes left from the morning’s meal; and a dainty bed, with covers thrown back and pillows airing, was drawn out where had stood a small book cabinet he had par- ticularly noticed. John reassured himself he was in the right door by several little ar- ticles on the walls, and while the busy de- tective was diving around in Annie’s one trunk and the bureau drawers looking for the lost treasure, John was looking around at this little jewel of a room, a fairy’s paradise as it seemed to him. Across the foot of the bed was a dainty nightdress, to be sure, made of cheap mus- lin and trimmed in crochef lace, but John did not know the difference between it and one of linen trimed in finest thread. Two | small slippers were set precisely under the bed and over a stool by their side was a pair of red stockings, turned wrong. side out as though to air. Indeed, I am telling the truth when I tell it, that while the de- tective’s back was turned searching Annie’s small dish cupboard John quickly stuffed that pair of red stockings in his coat pocket. Why he did so he could never satisfactorily explain. Then, as he sat there on the bed looking around upon the tidy disorder, it came across him what was the reason of Annie’s confusion and distress, for, astute as mankind is generally believed to be, he could dimly imagine that no little woman as neat as Annie could endure to have her castle caught in sueh confusion. Perhaps had it been the detective alone she would not have cared; and then John smiled com- placently to himself. It was her neatly fitting dress and dainty linen collars and al- ways spotless white aprons that at first at- tracted John’s attention; and then it was the pretty face, with its pleasant smile and in- dependent eyes, that had inereased the in- terest until it had culminated in his meanly pocketing her red stockings. At last the detective gave up in despair. ‘‘She has hiden them some place else,” he said shortly. ‘She never had them at all,” replied John, calmly. ‘Then what made her act so guilty?” guestioned the other, almost believing him- self in her innocence. “Don’t know,” answered John laconiecal- ly. When they returned to the factory there was quite a confusion and hubbub, for the jewels had been found by another detective employed by Dingus in the pos- session of a notorious pickpocket, who, dis- guised as a woman, had slipped into the store with the crowd of factory-girls. Everybody was glad, and congratulated Annie—even the smart detective did, al- though he could not help wishing she had been so considerate as to assist him to gain that reward. But Anuie could not look John straight in the face. Poor child! what feelings would have been hers had she known the enormous bulge in John’s jacket pocket was caused by her very iden- tical red stockings laid out to air that morn- ing? John, of whom she never dreamed as other than ‘‘Mr. Dart,” even though she worked faster when he came her way, and perhaps felf more anxiety about the smooth masses of light brown hairthan at any other time? Well, when the two officers had and all had settled to work again, came to Annie’s chair and said kindly: “Miss Annie, that detective turned everything in your room in such awful con- fusion it will take you all day to straighten it up again, so, if you like, I have gotten permission for you to take the remainder of the day, and no reduction to be made.” ‘*Thank you—you are very kind,” she murmured, but she would not look at him and seemed so confused that big, good- natured John turned away in pure kindness and let her make her escape unnoticed. gone, John Annie fled homeward, dashed into No. 32, glanced wildly over the room, then burst into tears. “O dear! O dear!” she sobbed. ‘There was my nightdress on the bed, and my slip- pers, and my bed not up—and, O! potatoes in the skillet! O, he will think I am a regu- lar sloven!’ Why couldn’t it happen any other time than when I had slept so late I couldn’t even eat my breakfast! O, dear, he will never like me again! He. couldn’t after seeing such a looking room.” She did not stop to think that her castle looked worse when they had left than when they entered. But as the disorder worried her so much she could not sit still and ery she began her task. It was some time before the detective’s work was undone—every- thing in trim order, with the mattress roll- ed up and the bed folded against the wall like a book-cabinet and the few dishes wash- ed, and the tiny stove blackedand the screen set around it, and the one table covered with a gayly-embroidered cloth, all of which transformed the kitchen and _ bed- room into acozy little sitting-room as though by a fairy’s wand. It was a dainty little place, nothing expensive, but exquisite in the taste and tact displayed. The prevail- ing colors were deep red and pale blue and gold, with many neutral tints blended in the various bits of faney work. On a bracket was a bit of white statuary set on a delicate matting of the tender green leaves of a growing vine—the only costly extrava- gance in the room, and Annie well knew how long it took her to save enough to buy it. She had selected her room for its south window, and therein were standing two ger- anium plants in full bloom—one a deep double red, the other a soft single white flower. As Annie was viewing these little luxu- ries with commendable pride and gradually plucking up spirits, she suddenly bethought her of her red stockings. She did not re- member of picking them up, and, as she only had three pairs, it was important that none of them should be misplaced. There- fore she began to search diligently, and was beginning to get tired and puzzled in the useless search. when a loud rap, which she had heard once before at the door, caused her to glan@e hastily in the glass and then timidly open the door to the knocker. It was noon. The whistle had blown just a few minutes before, and, instead of going to his dinner, here’ was Mr. Dart standing at her door. **‘Won’t you come in?” asked Annie with a downeast face. “That’s what I eame for,” responded John, honestly, and in he walked. Then he turned around, and, taking her hands in his own in the time-honored and approved fashion, he said: John “IT have been thinking of you this long while, Annie, and now [ feel I cannot wait any longer. Youarealone in the world and [am almost so, although unele is very good. Let us make each other happy, and have a pretty home like this with”—glane- ing around the room—"‘with posies in every window.” O, of course Annie said *“Yes”—who wouldn’t? And when the quarter to 1 whistle blew, John (who was very punctual) went from Room 32 to the factory as one walking on air—mayhap his empty stomach had something to do with the lightish feel- ing, but he never thought of that, of course. Annie sat and laughed and cried to think how happy she was, and spent the remaind- er of her holiday until evening building air- castles until John came back and began to put solid foundations to the same by means of his poeket-kook. They were married two months after- ward, and the next day John gave his wife a small bundle rolled up in white paper and tied with blueribbon. Full of wonder, Mrs. John untied the ribbon and behold—her lost red stockings! “Why, John!” she exclamed, instinetive- ly running her hand down to the toe. But there was no holes—only two or three dain- ty little darns, and it is safe to predict that John’s soeks will never suffer. ><> Maxims for Merchants, From the Dry Goods Chronicle. As a general thing, it will be found, other things being equal, that the merchant who is most liberal is most successful in busi- ness. There is not a more honorable or a more useful member of society than a good mer- chant, and there is, perhaps, no occupation in life which is more exalting in its influ- ence, There is no greater mistake that a mer- chant can make than to be mean in his bus- iness. Always taking the balf and never returning a cent for the dollars he has made is poor policy. The man of business and the business man both have business to do, but the busi- hess man is the one who does it. The bus- iness man thinks, moves, acts and makes himself felt in the world. It would be just as foolish to insist upon doing business now in the old-fashioned way, as it would be to insist upon traveling with an ox team instead of by railroad, to get news by old-fashioned stages instead of having it brought by the lightning tele- graph. The skill of a merchant is exhibited in the combination of the greatest profit with the least expense, and he will make the most money who calmly looks from the begin- ning to the end, rather than to be attracted by any intermediate point, however profita- ble it may appear. Commercial pursuits are attractive to the ambitious. They offer the hope of wealth, influence, ease and high social standing. Consequently thousands of young men, who ought to remain in the country and cultivate the ground, enter the cities every year to en- gage in trade. A merchant ought to acquire and main- tain an ease of manner, a suavity of ad- dress and a gentlemanly deportment, with- out which the finest talents and the most valuable mental acquirements are often in- capable of realizing the brilliant expecta- tions which they induce their possessor to form. But few merchants start in business and fast living at the same time, and most of that few have but short-lived existence in the credit market, and consequently do but little good or harm in a commercial point of view. Nor is the number great who, upon entering business, erect princely establish- ments for the expenditure of theirown prof- its and their creditors’ principal. fit hey Seals ale ia “Well,” said the persevering governess, “‘L will put it in another shape. | If it takes one servant nine hours to do the entire housework of one family, how long will it take three servants to do it?” Little Nell, “Oh, L can answer that.

It has been suggested that the firm could still retain the name by admitting into partnership a man named Casweil, even though he might be admitted only for the use of his name. It would be interesting to see this point tested. The Michigan Tradesman, A J OURNAL ‘DEVOTED TO THE Mercantile and Mannfacturing Interests of the State, E. A. STOWE, Editor.

COME TO THE CONVENTION. The special convention of the Michigan Business Men’s Association, which convenes in this city next Tuesday, promises to at- tract the largest gathering of representative business men ever held in the State and Tne TRADESMAN would not be surprised if the assemblage exceeded in attendance and interest any convention of retail busi- ness men ever held in this country. As THE TRADESMAN was the first journal to advocate organization in the West, so Mich- igan was the first State in the West to pre- sent a Business Men’s Association and also the first to organize a State body. The growth of local organization has been rapid and substantial, no organization formed un- der the auspices of the State body having failed to accomplish good results. With sixty-four local societies, of which forty-nine have affiliated with the State body, Michi- gan presents the strongest band of union existing in any State in the Union; the greatest number of local societies; the great- est number of affiliated organizations; the largest and strongest State body. And un- less Tou TRADESMAN very much iistakes the temper of its readers, this condition of things will not be allowed to be changed. On the actions and outcome of the coming convention, much of the future success of organization depends. The character of the men already elected as delegates, and the class of subjects given in the programme, are a sure indication that the proceedings will be marked with a degree of depth and thoroughness which will greatly augment the reputation the Association now sustains as the leading organization of the kind in the country. Such being the ease, it be- hooves every friend of organization to use every endeavor to be present at the convén- tion and thus encourage a movement whose wonderful strides in the past three years are an earnest of the further advancement which is sure to come with the future. LEGISLATION NOT THE THING. To those who think that legislative enact- ments will have any effect on lessening the sale of adulterated goods, Tor TRADESMAN commends a careful perusal of the miscella- neous essays of Herbert Spencer. In them, he shows how all such efforts by the goy- ernment and by local ordinances have been futile. He cites the case of certain adulter- ation by London grocers. The ‘state at- tempted to stop the adulteration, but it was not until the London Laneet published an- alyses of the adulterated articles that the evil was abated. The proper way to go at the adulteration question is to create a sentiment against cheap and impure goods; to convinee the consumer that it is not economy to buy oth- erthan standard goods. Such a course, quietly adhered to, will do away with adul- teration, by making it unprofitable, and is more in keeping with the character of the merchant than to ask Congress to do what he ought+to do himself. The strength of Bismarck, in his memora- ble encounter with his opponents in the re- cent German elections, apart from the great force of the official influence at his control, has been in two important directions. He was able to appeal with great effect to the patriotic sentiment of the couutry, and he represented the policy of protecting Ger- man interests. These two arguments bore down hard upon all that could be said upon the other side. He was able to point to himself, with Von Moltke and the Emper- er, as the author of German unity, and to denounce effectively the Socialists who at- tack the present order of society; the Al- sace-Lorrainers, who would carry back to France the territory acquired in the great war; and the civilian and doctrinaire lead- ers of the Opposition, who in a European storm could not be expected to hold the helm with so sure a grasp as himself. And apart from this, his protective measures, arbitrary as they have been with regard to the rights of other countries, have met the average sense of the German people, who felt that they were adopted in the interest of the ‘‘Fatherland,” as against all other countries, and who therefore recognized in them a distinet and practical home policy, which was not offered on the other side. That Bismarck must now do something in return for the Pope’s good offices is the general suggestion, and itis already inti- mated from Rome that Germany has con- sented to act a mediator between the Italian Government and the Vatican. The Vati- can’s proposal is that part of Rome, in¢lud- ing the ‘‘Leonine City,” and a zone extend- ing from the Vatican to the sea, by Civita Vecchia, shall become the absolute proper- ty the Pope. A reader of Tue TRADESMAN asks how the word ‘‘telegraph” came to be applied to matches. The enquiry was referred to the Diamond Match Co., of ‘Detroit, and Mana- “The word ger Richardson writes in reply: ‘telegraph’ was used many years ago to distinguish the long, square match from the other styles then iri use.” The reply does not fully answer the question and THE TRADESMAN would be glad to receive fur- ther light on the subject. The editor ¢ of THE TRADESM AN assisted in the formation of four Associations last week and has calls from sixteen other cities and towns in the State. The amount of work incident to the convention of the State organization will compel him to de- cline any appointment for this or next week, but after that he hopes to resume his gait—four new Associations a week. One by one our cherished ideas are shat- tered to atoms. We have been accustomed to pay a high price for Bermuda onions un- der the supposition that the fragrant escu- lents came from that Island. Ex-Governor Jerome, who is now sojourning in Bermuda, writes that onions are not grown on the Is- land at all, all those consumed there being imported from New York. Five new Associations have affiliated with the State body since the last report, as follows: Vermontville, 21 members; Hartford, 33 members; Ionia, 50 members; Leslie, 20 members; Sherman, 10 members. This swells the State membership to 1,467 and gives the parent organization for- ty-nine of the sixty-four local bodies now in existence in the State. A Detroit hardware dealer was recently fined $10 and costs for selling a revolver to a ten-year-old boy. Merchants should re- member that the new law imposes a penal- ty of not less than $10 fine upon any per- son who shall sell, give or furnish any firearm to a juvenile under 13 years of age, and govern themselves accordingly. Merchants should beware of : a fraudulent collection scheme at East Saginaw, known as the Standard Commercial Agency. It possesses no advantage over the majority of schemes of a similar nature, and should be given a wide berth by merchants who lay any pretensions to fairness and justice. The Michigan Salt Association is now sel- ling salt at 50 cents, the lowest price in the history of the country. When it comes to shipping the staple a couple of hundred miles, the freight amounts to as much as the salt. The Mt. Clemens Business Men’s Asso- ciation has been organized under the consti- tution prepared by the officers of the Michi- gan Business Men’s Association at their re- cent meeting. AMONG THE TRADE.

The meeting of business men of the city, held at the Common Council chamber last | evening, was quite well attended by those who signed the call for the meeting, and the initiatory steps were taken for the organi- zation of an association of the business men of the city. It was expected that Mr. Stowe, of Grand Rapids, who has had considerable experi- ence in the organization of these associations throughout the State, would be present to assist and give some pointers in the organi- zation here last evening, but when the hour came for his arrival he failed to put in an appearance, much to the disappointment of those present. Not to be set back in this manner, however, and in order to further the move, those present proceeded to form a temporary organization, talk the project over, and adjourn to another time, when Mr. Stowe will be present and a permanent or- | ganization perfected. J. K. Montrose was called to the chair, /and J. R. Wicks was chosen Secretary. The objects of the meeting, as well as those of the proposed association, were explained and discussed. Mr. Wicks had been in cor- respondence with the Business Men’s Asso- ciation of Traverse City,which, by the way, is considered one of the best organized in the State, and had secured from it a copy of the constitution and by-laws of the Associa- tion, which were read, and fully set forth | most all the points and benefits of these or- ganizations. . Considerable interest was manifested by | those present at the meeting last evening, and the organization will be completed as soon as possible. The benefits to be de- rived from such an organization and the united efforts of the business men of the city are such as should interest every merchant, as well as each resident of the city, and a hearty co-operation should be had from all business men. The special requirements for membership will probably be that the applicant shall be a merchant, manufacturer or dealer of hon- orable standing, witha residence of six months or a year in the State, a tax-payer, and shall pay a sinall membership fee tothe | Association. AU this, however, will be reg- | ulated by the constitution and by-laws of ' the Association. } In talking over a name for the organiza- tion, the title of the ‘Flint Mercantile Un- ion” was suggested, and it is probable that the association will be known as such. The meeting was adjourned to Thursday evening of this week, to be held at the same place, and at which time it is expected that Mr. Stowe will be present and assist in per- fecting the organization. LATER—HE MISSED CONNECTION. Mr. E. A. Stowe, of Grand Rapids, whose failure to put in an appearance at the busi- ness men’s meeting last night caused no lit- tle disappointment, was seen at ‘the Sher- man House this morning. Saidhe: ‘An accident to the train out of Grand Rapids delayed us so long that when we reached Durand the train for Flint had gone, and I had to wait until 11 o’clock before another East bound train came along. I tried to reach Flint by telegraph, but it was no go, as the operator at the other end of the line had gone home. I don’t see why a city the size of Flint shouldn’t have a telegraph op- erator on duty all night, anyway. I leave for Battle Creek this morning to assist in the organization of a Business Men’s Asso- ciation to-night, and will return to Flint in time to be present at the adjourned meeting of business men to-morrow evening—that is, provided my train doesn’t meet with another accident. THE BALL SET ROLLING. A counter attraction prevented a large at- tendance of the business men on Thursday evening, but the editor of Tre TRADESMAN managed to escape delay on that occasion and was present to give the aims and ob- jects of organized effort. W. C. Pierce was selected to act as chairman and J. N. Blake as secretary. At the conclusion of Mr. Stowe’s explanation of the advantages of united action, Samuel Moffett moved that the organization of an association, to be known as the Flint Mercantile Union, be immediately proceeded with. The regula- tion constitution and by-laws were then adopted, when the following gentlemen handed in their names for charter member- ship: Samuel Moffett, A. D. Alvord, L. C. Hedden, L. E. Phelps, Pieree & Wicks, J. C. Croul, Chas. L. Carman, Flint Cabinet Creamery Co., S. Mathewson, H. H. Gay & Co., Geo. E. Childs. On motion, Samuel Moffett, W. C. Pierce, S. Mathewson, Chas. L. Carman, J. C. Croul, Chas. T. Bridgman and F. H. Pierce were selected to act as a soliciting commit- tee, with instructions to secure the signa- ture of every business man in the city, when the Union will be completed by the election of oflicers and the establishment of permanent quarters. The editors of the local papers were re- quested to publish the constitution and by- laws of the Union. A vote of thanks was tendered Mr. Stowe for his assistance and the meeting ad- journed, _ OS Ionia Joins the State Association. Tonta, Mar. 2, 1887. KE. A. Stowe, Grahd Rapids: DreAr Sir—The Ionia Business Men’s Exchange, formerly Ionia Business Men’s Protective Association, isnow in good work- ing order. At our regular meeting held last evening we formally adopted the revis- ed and improved constitution and by-laws under which the Exchange will no doubt prosper, many of the defects of the old constitution and by-laws of the old Asso- ciation having been omitted. We at pres- ent number fifty members, and per instrue- tions received at last night’s meeting, I en- close you $5, being the requisite amount of per capita tax to join the State Associa- tion—fifty strong. We look forward to the State Convention with much interest, and expect that the Ionia Business Men’s Ex- | change will be well represented, having at House and Store Shades Made to Order. de N our last night’s meeting elected five dele- gates to this convention, all of whom have expressed their intention of going.

Keyes, formerly engaged in trade at Omeno, has gone to Mt. Ayr, Iowa, where he will engage in trade. Mr. Keyes will or- ganize an Association at his new home on the same plan advocated by Tue TRrApDEs- MAN, having been furnished the necessary blanks for that purpose. The Business Men’s Association of Lyons helda meeting to consider what action should be taken for mutual welfare and for the restoration of the village. A condoling letter was received from the Muir Associa- tion and a resolution to push ahead and make the town better than ever was gener- ally expressed. The shaking up the vil- lage received has infused new life and ae- tivity into the people. ~~ -0- » - oO es MO 90) Geren Heck <7 iin ic® hea Senco nd longer. ..........

LOWELL, Feb. 26, 1887. E. A. Stowe, Grand Rapids: DreAR Sir—At the last meeting of our Business Men’s Association, we elected the following named gentlemen to represent our Association at the State meeting: J. Q. Look, C. G. Stone, O. C. MceDannell, 8. W. Taylor, S. E. Morgan and J. B. Yeiter. We elected five new members, which entitles us to six delegates. There seems to be a good feel- ing among the members, and while we are well pleased with our success in the way of collections, we are not satisfied to stop with that, but expect to be benefited in many ways. ‘There are only two or three firms in town now that have not united with us. At that meeting, we elected what we called an Improvement Committee, consisting of ten members, whose duty it shall be to look after the manufacturing interests of the town and do what they can to induce manufactur- ers who are looking for locations to settle here, and do whatever else they may to ben- efit the place. We are getting some very good factories here—one, a cutter factory, that already has contracts for 18,000 cutters. It has an annual capacity of about 24,000. If not the largest, this is one of the largest in the world, which speaks well for Lowell. We are now agitating the question of water works, and there are many other matters of importance which will receive attention in due time. Hoping that our State meeting may meet our highest expectations and that great good may come through the organization, I re- main Very truly yours, N. B. BLAIN, Pres. or 2 Otsego Organized. Agreeable to call, the business men of Ot- sego met at D. A. Drew’s office last Monday evening for the purpose of talking over the subject of organization. J. M. Ballou was selected to act as chairman and J. M. Eaton as secretary. The editor of THE TRADESMAN explained the aims and objects of organized effort, when C. A. Barnes moved that the formation of an association be immediately proceeded with. ‘The reg- ular constitution and by-laws were adopted for the government of the Association, when the following gentlemen handed in their names for charter membership: J. M. Ballou, R. Monteith, C. I. Clapp, Conrad Bros., C. H. Adams, D. A. Drew, Barnes & Williams, J. M. Eaton, P. W. Travis. Election of officers resulted as follows: President—J. M. Ballou. Vice-President—C. H. Adams. Secretary—J. F. Coprad. Treasurer—R. Monteith. Executive Committee—President, Secre- tary, Treasurer, C. A. Barnes and C. I. Clapp. The election of the Business Commitee was deferred until the next meeting. The editor of the Otsego Union was re- quested to publish the constitution and by- laws in his next issue, when the meeting adjourned for two weeks. > 2 > In Union There is Strength. VERMONTVILLE, Feb. 28, 1887. E. A. Stowe, Grand Rapids: DrEAR Str—Enclosed please find express money order for $2.10, for which give our Business Men’s Association a place in the State ranks.

It is, I think, on the wane through- out the Union, certainly in Wisconsin. Let it go. The sooner it is buried beyond re- surrection the sooner will toilers free them- selves from another enemy. I notice, however, a change of tactics in those who favor and manage boycotts. In- stead of organizing against business men and manufacturers in such a manner as to be guilty of conspiracy as freely as formerly, they now boycott persons — ostracising, hounding and maltreating such members of their organizations as cannot be fully con- trolled. We lave had but little of that in Wisconsin, though in other states it has be- come an enormity. After the expiration of | Cincinnati BOXEPORE, os soc dec ccecee Some unionists claim that boycotting gven in its extreme form is a ‘“‘principle.” It is not a principle, but alow and passionate form of revenge. There is not a shred or shadow of principle in it or near it. It is true that men may, as individuals or in a body, refuse to buy any given article or refuse to work for an obnoxious employer, but on general principles boycctting is a dangerous instrument of warfare. Itisa two-edged sword that may be used by either party. Suppose manufacturers should band to- gether to deprive union men of shelter, fuel, food, clothing and labor, for the purpose of enforcing some rule, regulation or price. Such a course would indeed be more appal- ling in its results, but not a more outrageous violation of common sense, common right and common law than the boycotts which have been instituted against the goods, fac- tories, business and reputation of employ- ers. If laboring men wish to continue boycot- ting, let them boycott drunkenness, boycott loud-mouthed agitators, boycott charlatan leaders and mountebanks who care nothing for labor except to use it for selfish purpos- es; boycott dissipation and extravagant habits--boycott them always and everywhere; strike against them, drum them out of camp. ' Instead of tearing down and crippling the factories of your neighbors wherein you earn your daily bread and which build up your communities, boycott every foreign- made article that could as well be made on American soil.

The surprise of the week is the demor od ization in German quinine. A drop of 8 cents in three days, from a firm and advane- ing market with a good demand, was very unexpected. A decline in the price paid tor barks at the last London sale and the ab- sence of any speculative demand are given as the cause. Some do not think this weak feeling is warranted by the facts and look for an early reaction. Opium has again advanced 10 cents per pound, is very firm and will likely go higher. Mor- phine is being sold at a premium of 5 cents per ounce over the P. & W. price in New York. The manufacturers will accept no new orders and are busy filling contracts. We look for another advance in this article, in sympathy with opium. Carbolic acid is selling freely at full prices, and no further advance is probable at present. The price of insect powder is well sustained, the pres- ent price for ground only paying present eost of flowers. Cubebs remain high. There are some poor lots offering below our quotatiolis, but XXX. stemless are searee. Gum camphor is very firm and hardening in value. Senna leaves have further advanced abroad. Balsam itolu is weak and lower. Oil anise has declined. Oil peppermint is firm. Mace and nutmegs are higher. Lin- seed oil is very firm and another advance is probable soon. Oil wintergreen has de- clined 10 cents per pound. os oe i. Parkill’s Plan. Secretary Parkill, who was in the city last week as amember of the State Board of Pharmacy, makes a novel suggestion rela- tive to the method of going to the Petoskey convention of the M. 8. P. A. next July. He proposes that all meinbers going to the convention from the southern half of the State meet the G. R. & J. train which leaves Grand Rapids about noon. — Instead of go- ing through to Petoskey, he suggests that the entire party proceed to Traverse City in- stead, arriving there on Monday evening in time for supper, and taking the boat next morning for Charlevoix and Petoskey, ar- riving at the place of meeting about2 o'clock in the afternoon. Mr. Parkill suggests that the usual Tuesday session be dispensed with, in order that those who cannot leave home Monday can get to Petoskey in time by arriving there on the Wednesday morn- ing train. The suggestion is worthy of careful consideration, and THe TRADES- MAN is pursuaded that the Association would do well to adopt i it. a Likes the Drug Page —“Peculiar Orders.” EvVARtT, Mar. 2, 1887. E. A. Stowe, Grand Rapids: Dean Srrn—The drug page number of Tim TRADESMAN year’s subscription. I, too, have a serap book. It contains a amusing and peculiar orders and -alis, which would be appreciated by your oa but I don’t approve of giving the name of the druggist in connection with the printing of them, for this reason: He stands in the same relation to bis patrons that the physician does. Their ailments are their secrets, imparted to the physician in con- fidence. Their errors are made in ignor- ance, and the printing of them in connection with a druggist’s name locates the parties and brings them before the public in a way that causes them to shun that dealer, as they would a physician who talks too much. If at some future time you wish to look over my scrap book asid use it ina general way, you are welcome to it. Respectfully, F. HiIpBarD. large dealers in the last is worth a ACCURACY AND DISPATCH. |The Best Methods so Secure Them in a ’ Drug Store. 8. A. D. Shephard before Massachusetts Phar- ~maceutical Association. “Never be idle; if your hands cannot be usefully employed, attend to the improve- ment of your mind.” ‘Eternal viligence is the price of liberty.” These are both old sayings, but like some other good things, the older they: are the better they prove themselves to be, and truly in no place can the value of these sayings be better shown than in a retail drug store. Visit one store and you find the proprie- tor or his clerk sitting down waiting for customers, perhaps reading a dime novel or a trashy illustrated newspaper; look into his back room, into his cupboards and drawers, and you will probably find dirt and disor- der; and if you wait in the store awhile, you will be likely to find that his customers are few. Visit another store, you find the proprietor or his clerk busy about some- thing, his bottles are clean and bright, his preparations clear and attractive in appear- ance, and probably his customers numerous. In no place is the result of constant vili- gence, industry and attention to business more apparent than in the drug store; there- fore, make it the first rule of the shop never to be idle. It is surprising to find how many things aman will find that need his attention if he only looks for them. We need not be cleansing and arranging goods all the time; there should be» opportunity regularly to read the trade journals, ete., and thus keep abreast of the times. To my mind there is no rule of the store so important as this one: never be idle; because so many Other things naturally lead from it. It will be the means of opening up many new methods of work and lines of thought and action. Second to this is system. This word should stand out boldly everywhere in the drug store, not exactly in written charac- ters, but in the arrangement of every shelf and glass case and in every day’s work. <> Animus of Representative Cannon. Tur TRADESMAN noted last week that a bill had been introduced in the House by Representative ‘‘Cameron,” providing for he repeal of the act known as the Phar- macy Law. The facts were obtained from the Legislative Journal, but the Jowrnal should have named Mr. Cannon—not ‘*‘Cam- eron”’—in such connection. With a view to ascertaining the animus of the gentleman in the matter, THE TRADESMAN requested a Lansing friend to interview Mr. Cannon on the subject, and he reports the result in the following words: I saw Mr. Cannon, per your request. He said he thought the present law a monopoly, because it prevented a man from engaging in the drug business without first going be- fore a Board and answering a lot of ques- tions which would never come up to him in the practice of his business. He cited the case of Dr. D. L. Dumon, of Evart, who attempted to engage in the drug business at that town, but was refused goods until he had either passed an examination or em- ployed a registered pharmacist. I hold that aman who is qualified, ought to be able to dispense drugs without having to submit to so much red tape, and I shall do all that lies in my power to emphasize that idea. Hoping to get more inside information on the subject, Timm TRADESMAN wrote to two merchants of Evart, one of whom was a druggist. The druggist failed to reply, but the other gentleman wrote that Mr. Cannon evidently introduced the bill at the dictation -of Dr. Dumon, who has been trying to get into the drug business for months, but hasn’t sufficient knowledge of the business to enable him to pass an examination. He recently ordered a line of goods, but as he was not quoted, the jobber refused to fill the order. Next he received a copy of the Pharmacy Law. His venture will not war- rant the employment of a registered clerk, consequen:ly his desire to see the present Jaw repealed. Tue TRADESMAN has received assurances from several members of the Legislature that there is no possibility of Mr. Cannon’s bill going through; that it will not receive a favorable report from the committee to which it was referred; and that the senti- ment in the Senate is strongly in favor of the continuance of the present law. ml 8 Berrien County Druggists United.

BENTON ‘HARBOR, Feb. 24, 1887. E. A. Stowe, Grand Rapids: DreAR Sitr—I noticed in your TRADES- MAN of the 23d a prescription, and inquiry te you as to the meaning of ‘‘K Muir,” r “K Murr,” or “*K Miru.” ‘Translated, it os wis Kalium Murias or Chloride of Pot- ash. This remedy, or Chloride of Soda (common salt), is often added to stimulat- ing liniments, especially in veterinary prac- tice. Very respectfully, H. V. Turron, M.

Canr Hook CorNERS Mar. 2, 1887. Dear TRADESMAN: Since my last letter the ice has gone out of the big jam on Potter’s Run to such an extent that it is thought the grist mill and cooper shop can be saved. But it was too late to save the schoolhouse (A) and the bridge on Furlong street (see map enclosed), which were undermined by the backing up of the water from the Goose Pond. The bridge on Damlongue street was saved by the presence of mind of Deacon Potter, who drove a sled stake at each end in the nick oftime. The water has fallen two feet in the cellar of the Grand ‘Tavern, so that the beer kegs can now be arrived at sufficiently to keep the Corners lively. It has also been ascertained that the red- headed hired girl, that was supposed to have been drowned down in there while going af ter potatoes was not there. The stage left the Corners at the hour the girl disappeared and it is now supposed that she was on if. The fact thata tall man in rubber boots named Smith, that used to travel for Fox, Musselman & Loveridge, and a young man named Will MeGraw, from Detroit, hap- pened to leave on the same stage, is not re- garded with suspicion by any one who is confidentially acquainted with the parties aforesaid. I noticed when I was down to your city last week that the Grand is behaving hisself pretty well there, notwithstanding his pranks further up. Itis well, because, with dirty drinking water, measles and every- thing, Grand Rapids is having about all she can stand. I brought home a sample of the city water when I was down there last week. I did not drink any water while there, but I made a very careful analysis of the water yesterday, which resulted as fol- lows: Grand Rapids plaster....................... 2.32 Sulphuretted Hydrogin.... ................ 3.

No, my dear Mr. Ed- itor, it is more with the view of warning my brother merchants, who are not used to strong drink, to takea big drink before leaving home. Good water is a mighty valuable thing for folks that drink it, but it is highly questionable whether the prohibi- tion amendment will get much support at Lyons, Ionia and other points where they have enjoyed a surfeit of cold water this spring. My brother-in-law was telling me, the other day, when I was down there, about how he went out to visit some friends in the country a while ago. They had a splendid well on the farm, and John had looked for- ward for some time to the pleasure he would have in drinking from it! But it was all in vain that he drank and drank, until he must have taken in something like half a barrel. He could not satisfy himself. He wended his way back to the city and sadly drew a glass from his own faucet of city water, raised the pearl-white liquid to his lips and turned it down. With a sigh of satisfaction, John smacked his lips, pulled down his.vest and exclaimed, ‘Ah! Sarah Jane, that touches the spot. I can under- stand now what it was that I have been missing for the past week. Yes, I see now; it was the soul-satisfying, tax-paying, meat- and-drink-together, Grand Rapids city wa- ter.”’ Yours Aquaously, SoLIMAN SNOOKS. ——_—-o—<—_-— Jupson, ‘That is a fine painting you’ve got there, Smith.” Smith, ‘‘Well, I flatter myself that it 1s, you know.” Jupson, ‘It it one of the old masters, do you think?” Smith, ‘‘Well, I ain’t exactly sure, but I am going to have ‘the opinion of a friend on that point to-day.” Jupson, ‘‘Indeed! A eannoisseur?” Smith ‘‘f should, say so! Why, man, he’s been in the tea business six years and handled thousands of pic- tures.” AFTER THOUGHTS. Pleasant Recollections of a Trip to the Tropics. From the Grand Traverse Herald. British Guiana, lying between latitude 1 and 814 degrees north of the equator at the mouth of Essiquibo river—its capital Georgetown—is « second edition of Hol- land. Georgetown, the principal city in the Provinee of Demarara, is protected by a sea wall of miles in extent, to keep the high tide from overflowing the lands. The sur- face is perfectly flat and drained with canals from which the water is pumped out as oc- casion requires to keep the land above the water. The soil is a vegetable mould, the deposit of centuries brought down by the river, and is marvelously fertile. Sugar cane, the principal product, grows luxuri- antly and it is said that Demerara has the largest, finest and most improved sugar plantations in the world, using vacuum pans and centrifugal dryers, by which the sugar is relieved of its syrup more completely than by any other process, giving Demerara the preference over West India raw sugars. Plantations run from 800 to 3,000 acres in extent. Georgetown is a town of some 40,000 peo- ple.,and is laid out at right angles, with broad streets of asphalt and crushed coral rock like Washington streets, sidewalks of the same, houses of wood, painted white, with green. blinds or ‘‘jalosies.” Venetian blinds of fixed slats hung at the top and swung out from the bottom at an angle of ahout 20 degrees, and held there by a wood- en brace, thus excluding the sun and admit- ting the light and air. The effect of the buildings in white set amid the perpetual green is toa New Englander a forcible re- minder of a transplanted New England _ vil- lage in June. The citizens are noted for their generous hospitalities. One of the important and growing pro- ducts of the lower West Indies is the cacao, an ovate, oblong, tree’s fruit, sharped like a small musk-mellon, with a seed pulp about 114x3 inches, containing a number of brownish seeds about one-half by one inch in length. These seeds, when ripe, are re moved, put into sacks, shipped to commer- cial cities like New York and London, and there ground into a flour, mixed with certain proportions of arrowroot, made into a paste, dried into forms and furnished through the dealers for our breakfast tables under the name of chocolate, broma or cocoa. Another queer tree fruit or product is the “ealabash” of gourd structure, shaped like a water melon and gathered as desired, from 3 to 15 inches in length. The larger ones are used for water vessels, while the smaller ones are used for smaller domestic utensils, or dyed and decorated for ornamental arti- cles. The eassava root, a bulbous root plant, furnishes, when ripe and crushed into a paste and dried, a very palatable flour, somewhat like arrowroot, which makes a nutritious Lread much used by the natives. Plantain, a species fof banana, grows in abundance in the forests, or is caltivated on the plantations, and constitutes, with rice, fish, cassava bread, and sugar eane, the principal food of the natives, on which they keep fleshy and are able to perform | arduous labors. The governor per year, making the cost to every man, woman and child inthe Provinee, 3344 eents for his support, whereas the great State of New York pays for its Governor’s salary one-tenth of one cent to each person, as in- dicated above. The general tax of Guiana averages about 7 per cent. on the valuatian. I was not aware, and there are others who may not know, that Martinique has the honor of being the birth-place of the Em- press Josephina in 1763, where at the age of 16 she married the Viscount Beauharnais and removed to Franee. Left a widow with two children, at the age of 28, she af- terwards married Napoleon Bonaparte in 1796. The site of her birth is marked to- day by a monumental statue near Fort du France. Her daughter, Hortense, after- wards became Queen of Holland. The celebrated statesman, financier, gen- eral, diplomat and jurist, Alex. Hamilton, was born on the island Nevis in 1757. Lett an orphan at the age of 10 years, he was placed in a store at St. Croix at the age of 12, quite to his disappointment. At the age of 17 years, through the aid of his friends, he was sent to school at Elizabethtown, New Jersey, thence to Kings (now Columbia) College, where by his assiduity, ability and thorough knowledge of English and French, he began to make himself known, and be- came a power in the colonies, and continued to be in the state until his untimely end in the duel which was provoked by Aaron Burr in 1804. The West Indies were for a long term of years a subject of disputed title between the European powers, and when terms of peace were made they were the ‘‘small coin” thrown into the balance of kings in the ad- justment. Here were fought some of the most bitterly contested naval battles of the 17th ceutury, out of which England, with her usual pertinacity and monied power, came out the owner of the larger share of the islands. To-day they are each in their yaried and individual beauty literally ‘‘Gems of the Ocean,” as they lie, between the restless and relentless Atlantic ocean on the east, and the Caribbean sea on the west, with its | history of untold and unredressed cruelties | committed against the confiding Caribs— native owners of the islands, driven to their death over precipices into the sea which has since carried their names and which sings | its requiem over their — re- | mains.
