THAT FASCINATING GERMAN. .,4
Written for Taz TRADESMAN. | :

“If it is Adolph who is so rapidly deplet-
ing my income surreptitiously, it will show
me that, as a judge of Muman nature by out-
ward appearances, I am a failure. I shall
put detectives on the scent and have. him
thoroughly shadowed. If he is the guilty
one, a few days will suffice in which to trap
him.”

‘Well, John, of course you will act as
you think best; but will you grant me a fa-
vor in connection. with the matter?” and
John Clay’s young wife looked pleadingly
in her husband’s eyes.

**Why, yes, my dear, ‘even to the half of
my kingdom.’”

“I know,” resumed his wife, ‘‘that it
looks very bad for Adolph, and his connec-
tion with the robberies seems fully assured.
But,” and here she hesitated and cast her
eyes nervously upon the face of her hus-
band. ‘I cannot believe that he is the
thief, and I want you to give me a month to
prove that he is not. Promise me that you
will do nothing about the matter until one
month from to-night.” _

John Clay gave the desired promise and
left the room.

The conversation above recorded was
brought about by a series of robberies which
had occurred in the dry goods house of John
Clay & Co., located at 95 Austin avenue,
Gainsport, Mich. The names and addresses
here given are not the true ones, but will
suffice for the proper understanding of the
events narrated. Owing to the prominence
of the parties mentioned and the fact that
they still reside and do business in the same
place makes it advisable to suppress their
true personality.

The young man spoken of, Adolph Aron-
son, was a handsome, fascinating young
German, well-educated and stylish, who had
been in the employ of Clay & Co. about a
year. He had come well recommended, and
his services as a salesman were such as to
make him most valuable in the dry goods
trade. With his accomplishments as a lin-
guist, being master of French, German and
English, his polished manners and a certain
distinguished air, the young ladies of the
city were exceedingly impressed thereby
and, through this magnetic personality, he
managed to sell more goods than any two
clerks in the store. Adolph was a- very
stylish dresser, and his appearance upon the
street was always the signal for a craning
of all the feminine necks that chanced to be
in his neighborhood, the fair possessors
thereof who had the honor of this young
Adonis’ acquaintance deeming it a great dis-
tinction if he chanced to glance in-their di-
rection and raise his glossy silk tile in gal-
lant salute. Indeed, such was the furore
created by this young gentleman’s fascina-
tions, it was currently rumored that all the
single ladies and half the married ones were
desperately in loye with him.

Now, our young friend Adolph, although
an attendant of the largest church in the
city and a liberal contributor to all funds
devoted to the advancement of Christianity,
had latterly developed a taste for fast horses
and some of his envious rivals whispered
that his losses on certain 2:16 nags were
sufficient to swamp a-millionaire and won-
dered where he obtained the cash necessary
to gratify this rather immoral whim.

For about three months previous to the
opening of this story, various articles and
sums of money had been disappearing from
the store of John Clay & Co., amounting, in
the aggregate, toalargesum. Close watch
had failed to discover the pilferer, and no
one in the store was suspected until, through
accident, Mr. Clay saw a familiar figure,
late at night, emerge from the door of a
well-known gantbling house and, as the
man passed under the giare of an electric
light, he was revealed as the stylish Adolph,
but his air of superiority was gone, his face
haggard and white, while the usually fault-
less dress was sadly disarranged.

. This apparition put a new idea-into the
rather slow mind of John Clay, with the re-
sult of the conversation between himself

few guests to dinner, and the blond hair and
blue eyes of Adolph were almost invariably
te be found in Mrs. Clay’simmediate vicini-
ty. :

On one of these social gatherings, about a
week before the end of the month of grace
Mrs. Clay had asked in Adolph’s behalf, the
lady in question had invited a larger number
of guests than usual. An elegant repast
was served in the dining-room, while the se-
ductive strains of an orchestra enticed those
so inclined to the waltz. The grounds and

‘shrubbery were resplendent with colored

lights, and the scene was one of joyous fes-
tivity throughout. .

But the gayety and brightness of the bril-
liant scene seemed to have a depressing ef-
fect upon the lovely hostess. Instead of
smiles and laughter, her mobile face bore
‘the impress of deep anxiety and, strive as
she did to mask her feelings and appear an-
imated and genial, still a shadow of the
surging thoughts within, like the deepening
tints of a silver-tipped cloud presaging a
storm, lurked in her eyes.

While the dancing and fun were at the
highest pitch, Mrs. Clay stole, unobserved,
away from her guests. As she passed her
own room, she glanced fearfully around as
if eager to be unseen and, entering the cham-
ber, bent over her sleeping babe and kissed
its rose-tinted cheek passionately again and
again. Two or three times did she turn
away as if to go but the sleeping innocence
of the child’s face drew her back.

Finally, she snatched a dark cloak from a
chair, muttered, ‘I must go for his sake!”
and silently left the room. Passing swiftly
through a side door, Mrs. Clay hurried
through the more brilliantly lighted part of
the grounds, ever and- anon easting quick,
nervous glances over her shoulder as she
hastened along. As she neared a summer
house situated in the rear of the grounds
and totally unlighted, Mrs. Clay paused a
moment and seemed about to turn from her
resolve whatever it was. But, regaining
her courage, she entered the cottage anda
man advanced eagerly to meet her.

‘“‘At last I may call you mine!” said a deep,
musical voice, and Adolph ‘Aronson’s arms
were outstretched to embrace the woman
who had thus apparently sacrificed every-
thing for the gratification of a guilty passion.

‘Stop! You must keep your distance as
you promised until I give you permission.
I must not be compromised here! Is every-
thing in readiness?” she continued, as_ the
young man receded in disappointment.

“Yes. The carriage stands just below
the rear entrance.” :

‘‘Have you engaged the girl and her
brother to go with us, as 1 asked you?”

“Yes: everything is as you wished. I

would much have preferred to take an extra
carriage for teem; but, since you objected
so strongly, I have them safely stowed
away on the front seat. The girl, you say,
is nearly a fool and her brother is both deaf
and dumb, so they will hardly disturb us,
and their presence will also serve to allay
suspicion. Will you be ready promptly at
two?”
_ “I will be ready!” And a shudder passed
over the slight frame of the woman as, per-
haps, she contemplated the horror of the
thing she was about to do—home, husband,
baby, all to be sacrificed, left in sorrow and
disgraced. ‘‘[ must return now,” she con-
tinued; ‘‘they will miss me and I must not
be discovered. Good-by until two!’ And
with these words Mrs. Clay left the summer
house and took her way swiftly back to her
guests.

Fortunately, her absence had not been no-
ticed, and she took her place among the
guests outwardly calm, but her frightened
eyes and flushed face betrayed her agitation.
Her husband, in his blind, blundering way,
apparently misunderstood her feelings. ‘*Go
and rest a little while, my dear,” he said,
tenderly. ‘*The bustle and confusion have
been too much for you. The guests will
‘not notice your absence, and when they be-
gin to leave I will call you.”

But, with the responsibility of what she
was about to undertake upon her mind, rest

-to her admiring eyes.

‘I want you to see what I have got for

As he spoke, he threw open two large
trunks, and began displaying their contents
Truly, the Germal
had taste. Silks, velvets, brocades, laces,
embroideries—everything contained ina fash-
ionable leading dry géods store in the most
magnificent styles and lavish profusion was:
spread before Mrs. Clay’s wondering gaze.
If an Eastern bazaar had been depleted of ©
its shimmering riches, their splendor would
have paled before the costly beauty of these
fabrics. ee

‘Look at this!” said Adolph, after she
had gazed her fill upon the trunks. A small 4
satchel stood upon a little table, filled to —
overflowing with bank notes. The valise
must have contained four or five thousand —
dollars in bills of various denominations. :

‘\You can see by all this how much I
love you,” said Adolph, as he nervously
fingered tee notes. ‘‘For these have I risk-
ed my liberty that I might gain you! Now, —
let me embrace you but once, and then we ss
must go! The train is due in half an hour!” ~~

“Stay! just one moment!” said Mrs. Clay.
There was astrange light in her eyes and’ ~
she tapped her foot nervously upon the car-
pet. *‘Tell me how you gained possession~
of all this wealth, and then you-may have —
the kiss! Itis only woman’s curiosity, but. —
you will forgive even that in one you love!* —

As she spoke, the lady glanced nervously ~
over her shoulder; the portierre -be-
tween Adolph’s bedroom and sitting room —
shook slightly, as if from a gust of wind,
which appeared to reassure her. : as

arms outstretched to claim it. y
“Here itis!’ The curtains parted, and
the supposed mute stepped forward, a cock- —
ed revolver in one hand and a pair of hand- —
cuffs in the other. Close behind the detec:
tive, for such he was, followed—John Clay
and, what was mystifying, he did not ap-
pear so much horrified as a man would nat-
urally be on discovering such apparent infi-
delity in his wife. ‘You are my prisoner, —
sir,” continued the man, who held the re-
volver steadily pointed at the former’s head.
Adolph made a move, as if to drawa.
weapon, but the detective was watching
him and, almost before the move was made, —
Aronson’s hands were firmly grasped and-
the handeuffs securely locked upon his ~
wrists. vo
“Well, my young friend,” said Mr. Clay,
whose arm was now around his wife in an
attitude of protection strangely at variance
with the apparent situation, ‘you would
add the crime of stealing my wife to that of
robbing my Store! The latter 1 might haye
overlooked, but the other, never!’ You are —
finely caged, and may the years you will -
serve in prison teach you a lesson of hones~
ty you will never forget! You are, undoubt-
edly, smart, buta woman trapped you!
hope you will get ali the satisfaction out of —
that fact possible. Good-night, Adolph!” -
And, as he spoke, Mr. Clay motioned the de--
tective to take his prisoner away. a
When they had gone, Mrs. Clay’s arms:
stole around her husband’s neck, and-she.
said:

Distinctive Titles for Drug Stores.

J.C. Falk mine Druggist.

The foreign and old-fashioned style of
naming drug stores after various represent-
atives of the animal kingdom,as the ‘‘Lion,”
the ‘‘Eagle,” has no other basis for recogni-
tion than that of habit, as there is certainly
no connection between such animals and a
modern pharmacy. We might as well call
our stores the ‘‘Calf,” the ‘‘Hen,” the
‘‘Whale,” for thus, at least, there would be
some relation between the name and some
of the .pharmaceutical products dispensed
under its cover. It would surely be more
suggestive and appropriate to have the mod-

4el of a cow rampant on 2 mortar in front of

a drug store of to-day than to have a repre-
sentation of the exotic and, to the pharma-
cist, wholly useless lion’placed in the same
honorable position.

Just see what a valuable aid the cow is to
us: duriag life she gives us lac, saccharum
lactis, acidum lacticum. After she has
spent her life in furnishing these articles,
she becomes a martyr to pharmacy in order
to provide us with extractum carnis, fel bo-
vis, pepsinum, pancreatium, gelatina,
oleum bubulum and, lastly, carbo animalis.
As you have shown, the utensils character-
tie of our profession could be very properly
taken. For instance, ‘‘The Mortar and Pes-
tle Pharmacy,” would look and sound well.
A picture of the Goddess of Justice, with
eyes uncovered, a pair of prescription scales
in her hand and the words, ‘*The Balance,”
underneath, could be used cn the outside of
a pharmacy with strikingly good effect.
Then, there is the distinguishing implement
of the druggist, the spatula, that could be
used in name and figure as a means to in-
form the public of the nature of the estab-
lishment. There is no limit to the variety
of names and their respective advantages. I
would like to see some one deviate from
some of the antique names still occasionally
seen and adopt a distinctive and suggestive
title for his store.

CIGAR DEALERS

$11,550 Worth of Real Estate

And personal property to be actually
given away to purchasers of the celebrated

“Golden-Rod” and “Presto” Cigars
in 1888.

We have sold these goods for the past
ten years at the uniform price of $55 per
M. tor ‘‘Golden-Rod” and $35 per M. for
the ‘‘Presto” cigars, and shall continue to
sell them at that price, thus charging noth-
ing extra for the property we shall distrib-
ute.

We have figured that by liberal advertis-
ing we can save the salaries and expenses
of several men on the road and that the dif-
ference will pay for this property and the
purchasers of the goods will get the direct
benefit. Just look at this carefully and
see a plain business proposition. We hand
over to you direct the amount it would cost
us to sell these goods in the ordinary way.

We will distribute this property in the
following manner:

We will start an order book at this date
with lines numbered from 1: to-3,000 and
each order will be entered in the book in
the order it is received at our office.

Every fifth order received will entitle the
party ordering to a fiae gold handled silk
umbrella which will be sent with the goods.

Every 24th order received will entitle
sender to a full tea set of 56 pieces Import-
ed China Ware, which will be sent with the
cigars.

Every 74th order received will entitle the
party cndeding to a clear title deed ef a piece
of real-estate. Hither a building lot and
water privilege, at a summer resort, a city
lot in city of Sault Ste Marie, a house and
lotin St. Ignaee, or a farm of 160 acres.
There are 39_lots of the real estate and 720
articles of personal property to go with
3,000 orders, an average of more than one
in four.

An order will consist of 14 M. ‘‘Golden
Row” cigars at $55 per M. or 1 M. ‘‘Presto”
cigars at $35 per M. An order of double
this amount from one party will be entered
as two ordefs.

These cigars are not made of cheap ma-
terial, like the ordinary scheme cigar, but
are First-Class Goods, made as we have
always made them, to hold trade.

The ‘‘Golden-Rod” is made from the finest
imported Vuelta Havana, long filler, straight
‘hand-made goods, without flavor, and as
fine as anything made in the U.S. Sold at
their market value, without regard to the
property given away. The **Presto” cigar
is a very nice imported scrap- cigar, gives
universal satisfaction and sells in many
places at 10c.

The summer resort lots are on the beau-
tiful Lakeville Lake in Oakland Co. on the
P. O. & P. A. R. R., ahandsomer lake with
better fishing than Orion, six miles distant.
Lots 40 feet by 80 rods with good lake front
privilege, value $50 each.

The lots at the Soo are within 1 ofa
mile of the water power canal. In the
heart of the city, with hpuses all around
them, 40x124 feet, valued at $1,000 each.

The house and lot at St. Ignace is in the
third ward on Main street. House occu-
pied by tenant, valued at $1,000.

The farm is within two miles of Carp‘
Lake Station, on the G. R. & 1. B. R. Six
miles from Mackinaw City, hardwood and
cedar, good front on Carp Lake, seven aeres
under cultivation, valued at $3,200.

Warrantee deeds of real estate will be
sent with the cigars, which come in proper
order.

When the property is all distributed, cir-
culars will be sent to each purchaser of
cigars, showing name and address of par-
ties getting these presents.

Send in your orders, somebody-will get
some good property for nothing. You will
get warranted goods, worth the price put
on them. The value of the prraeits is not

looking into the plans of the B. M. A;, with re-
ference to an organization in Kalamazoo. 1
outlined the work in a few moments’ time and

+ the advantages to them wereclearly apparent.

“Just what we want,’’ they, and lam sure
their columns will be open to further any good
enterprise and to bring the business men of
their city into harmonious, active effort. -

Messrs. Roberts, S.iz and Edwards, a com-
mittee to report upon the advisability of such
Aan Organization, are gentlemen whose inter-
ests are not confined to self only. Liberal and
conservative, desirous of getting others’ ex-
periences, but ajive to the call of the day, an
interview with such gentlemen upon business
topics is as refreshing as a July shower. ‘Send
them our constitution, blanks, ete., also a
yearly delinquent book, referring to “What
Has Been Done.” — -

While the Retail Grocers’ Association of
Kalamazoo did grand work, the movers feel it
desirable to merge it inte a "B. M.A,

When Isee so great interest manifested in the
work of the M. A., where such organiza-
tions do “4 exist, I am doubly. sure thatthe
influence going out from those in active oper-
ation is broadening and deepening every day.

A call upon one gentleman to-day convinced
pme that we sometimes ‘hark up the wrong

tree.” ‘*Why,” said he, ‘‘you need not. attempt
to tell me the ‘advant ages of an organization, I
know them ‘already and am in for one, first,
last and ail the time.’

An hour’s run to Battle Creek and a call up-
on President Bock assured me of the prosperi-

ty of his Association. He is the right man for
the place—a gentlemag of high standing and
intelligence. Formerly his Association was
confined to grocers only. Merging into a B.M.
A., and becoming an incorporated body, it has
grown to be one of the largest in the State.
The wisdom of their course is clearly shown.
The grocers are “‘busiuess men,” and their
class interests are receiving the necessary at-
tention under-the B. M: A., and other interests
“eit welding bands of iron around the whole

oay.

Secretary Baxter’s heart is in the work.
His suggestions relating to our collection sys-

++ tem, I hope to see set forth at-length. A live

editor for a Secretary will make an Association
succeed. Give us more officers llke him.

A State convention at Cheboygan in July
will just hit this section.

Editor Willard will not longer confound us
with the bad-jebt collection scheme. “Disput-
ed accounts require a just and impartial hear-
ing.” Executive boards should never placé a
man’s name on the delinquent list at the insti-
gation of any one man, maliciously inclined.
“Pay or protection” only is sought. Seek
ratherto make a good-paying man than a de-
linquent atlarge. Justice and fairness should
be the motto.

Does not Battle Creek need another express
company-or a *‘busting up” of the present
rates by the business men? -

Battie Creek should have an Association of
200 members.

THE TRADESMAN should bein the hands of
every Association worker.

Irresponsible traders do not thrive where R.
M. A.’s exist. Their methods do not stand the
light of educated public opinion.

Where men pull together to build up old en-
terprises and to encourage new ones; whena
few men a@re-willing to take the reins in their
hands and work for the good of the whole,
without grumbling at the indifference of the
many—then will both peace and prosperity
follow. More anon.

MUSKEGON, April 1i, 1888.
E, A. Stowe, Grand Rapids:

DEAR &rR--Enclosed find $2.50 for ten auxilia-
ry members of the Michigan B. M.A. We ad-
mitted eleven new members last night, which
make a grand total of 155 in good standing.

Wake up your Grand Rapids Association or
we will show you the largest delegation at our
next State meeting of any Association in
Michigan. I won’t rest until we have 200, as
I promised you. Yours.

WM. PEER, Sec’y.

REPORT OF THE LAST MEETING.
From the Muskegon Business Gazette.

After electing eleven new members, at the
last meeting of the B. M..A., Vice-President
Miller reported having interviewed Mr. Mc-

roads hops, and spoke encouragingly of the
prcspect ofsecuring theiriocation here. Mayor
Torrent also offered some able and pertinent
remarks and timely advice in regard to the
matter,

A motion was made and carried that the
Chair appoint a committee of five to confer
With the Board of Trade with a view to unit-
ing theefforts of the two organizations to se-
cure the location of the shops and the estab-
lishment of a steamship line between this city
and Milwaukee. The chair appointed as such
committee Messrs. H. B. Fargo, .H. D. Baker,
P. J. Connell, &. 8. Morris, and C. J. Hamilton.

Mr. Eimer stated that the Woolsey Wheel
Works, of Sandusky, Qhio, were looking for
a location in Michigan, and the Secrétary was
instructed to write them for particulars.

‘the meeting then adjourned for two weeks.

The meetings are now held in the Council!
Chamber instead of Fireman’s Hall.

secure the location of an elevator and roller
mill at that place, and will do the “right
thing” by-a man who will put in a mill with a
capacity of 25 barreis per day. The Associa-
tion is also agitating the question of improy-
ing the roads leading into town, having raised
a@ purse of $30 to assist in the betterment of
one thoroughfare. 3

F. L. Willison, Secretary of the Scotts it
Climax B. M. A., writes: “Atour last meeting
we took up the subject of long credits and
gave it quite an overhauling. We are in
hopes of seeing the retail dealer’s term of
credit narrowed down to from thirty to sixty
days. instead of from one to two years. We
are ail well pleased with the workings of our
B. M. A., having all secured marked benefits.”

Wayland Globe: The meeting of the Busi-
ness Men’s Association was quite well attena-
ed last Friiay evening. The members are
favorably considering the idea of holding a
banquet inthe near future, fer the purpose
of getting together and enjoying each other’s:
sceciety for an evening, as business men with
theif families. It is a good scheme and would
be a benefit to all. Scciability is what is
much needed everywhere among business
men.

Tecumseh Herald: One of the most enter-
prising and prospering towns in Michigan is
Owosso. The town hasa live Business M n’s
Association, which is on the watch for every
kind of enterprise that can be induced to lo-
cate there. The place gave the Toledo, Ann
Arbor & Northern Railray ¢25,000 to locate
their shops there and that company. is now
putting in a plant that will cost over $200,000
when completed. And now the town has se-
cured a branch of the New York Iron Bridge
and Machine Works. There is no valid reason
why Tecumseh might not accomplish similar
good results with a Business Men’s Association
to look after her interests.

Charlotte Republican: The B. _M- A. Wed-
nesday evening considered the proposition to
organize a stock company for the purpose of
manufacturing and selling A. O. Carman’s
improved and recently patented mowing ma-
chine. The purpose is primarily to tax the
stockhoiders for enough to build a sample
machine, which, if satisfactory, will warrant
the company in erecting a factory and manu-
facturing the machine on an extensive seale.
In addition, providing thesuccess of the mow-
er was assured, the company would also go in-
to the manufacture of the binder, a patent on
which Mr. Carman has secured. A meeting
ofthe Association was held lastevening to dis-
cuss the scheme, but nothing definite was ac-
complished. To say the least, the enterpris
is well worth a very careful investigation.

1e one has laid it down
m‘that the press of a country is
its people; and, if this is true,

ery evident from my observation of

periodicals that the pulses of our

cousins beat yery slowly, methodi-

ully and almost in perfect unison.

“In addition to the recent products of the
‘trans-Atlantic press mentioned, I have be-
fore me an English literary paper of 1828,
and one purporting to be a newspaper, dat-
ed 1840, and, while it seems hardly. credible

is, perhaps, merely a coincidence, nine
elligent readers out of ten would testify
hat, to all appearances, the writers of the
°28 magazine were furnishing the material
_ for that of ’88, and that the editor of the
newspaper of 1840 was rehashing his writ-
ings for the one of the present year. All
four of the papers compared—i. ¢., the an-
“ eient and modern ones—have single editor-
_jals exactly two columns long.
. *  * x *
The illustrated paper sent me is fairly ar-
tistic, but the most of the pictures are wood-
cut copies of paintings in the R. A. Itcon-
tains very little reading matter (except on
- editorial), and that mostly relates to the
movements of ‘‘Her Majesty,” his ‘‘R. H.”
~ and sundry dukes, earls and lords. Its
-.. Jeading and only editorial is exactly two
_. columns long. ~ :
y The literary periodical is mainly filled up
» with four continued stories, which have evi-
dently been runuing for many months.
They all contajn” numberless allusions to
*tmy lord” and ‘‘my lady.” The little re-
maining space, not devoted to the serials
and editorials, is filled with anecdotes of
Dr. Johnson, Swift, Curran and other an-
aient worthies, and advertisements of cocoa.

*

_.» The single and only editorial is just two

columns long.

The newspaper contains from one-fourth
to one-half of a column ef telegraphic dis-
patches. In addition to this, there is about
a dozen items of general news, frem three
= lays to two weeks old. In the local depart-
= ment is nearly a column devoted to the pros-

--ecution of a butcher whose scales. were out
~ of order; an account of a man who beat his
wife brutally, and was fined 2s, 6d.; a rum-
or that his R. H. will visit the city shortly,

-and an extended description of Lady Some-

body’s weekly reception. The advertising

-eolumns are well filled with sober, unsensa-

tional announcements, and extol the merits

-of seven different kinds of cocoa. The
. deading an only editorial is two columns in
~ length.

*
_.. The trade journal is a nine-column folio.
_ dts heading informs its readers that it has
- een published uninterruptedly since 1822,
_ -and an American reader can’t help wonder-
ing that the words ‘“‘without improvement

* * * *

s or alteration” were not added.

One half of its first page is devoted toa
Anistory of some local ‘‘guild” “of some cen-

-, 4uries existence; the balance is filled with

' very modest and sedate business announce-
-mients, among which are four cocoa ads.
The second page opens with an editorial
on American tariff laws, which, from some
eecentricity of the writer, lacks about a doz-
1 lines of two columns. The remainder is
illed with advertising matter, similar to the
st page, but with more cocoa notices.
third page is in solid pearl and minion,
and relates exclusively to quofations of
onsols, stocks, merchandise, etc.
The fourth page is the ‘‘literary” portion
of the paper. Here we find a soul-stirring
_ anecdote, wherein it appears that ‘‘Her
. Majesty” made a trader superlatively happy
by accepting a bottle of his pickles. An-

r startling article relates to ‘‘His R.
’s” .choice in table sauce. After this |

liows an elaborate explanation of the
ike of Wellington’s reasons for prefering
tain make of boot polish; and the suc-

ing paragraphs run down the gamut of | |
end with a two-line item alleging
t the Hon. Plantaganet Fitzsimmons pre- |

fers English to American oysters.

|depraved tastes by elaborating the criminal

news of the day. His fiction may be
nauseous or insipid, but it is perfectly
harmless, and there are no fears, under any
circimstances, that his two column editorial
will stir up recriminations and unpleasant
controversies I seriously doubt whether
the combined business troubles of a dozen
English publishers would begin to equal
those of a former editor of the Simoon.
The Simoon, for obvious reasons, had a
weekly installment of ‘‘patent insides,” and
one of the afflictions of its publisher was

| oceasioned by the persistency of the senders

in inscribing C. O. D. on every package.
And in addition to this nothing could in-
duce the ‘‘patent” fellows to harmonize
their views with those of the Simoon’s edi-
tor. On one occasion~ he agreed, for a cer-
tain sum, to ‘‘boom”. the candidates of a cer-
tain political party, which he did, vigorous-
ly if ungrammatically, but, nothwithstand-
ing every argument and protest, the ‘‘pa-
tent” fellows persisted in booming the can-
didates of the other party, and the contract
was annulled, and a golden dream of
wealth dissipated. When he was sub-
sidized to depict the evils of strong drink,
and demand a total abolition of the traffic
in every species of intoxicants, the ‘‘patent”
men commenced publishing a series of arti-
cles denouncing ‘‘sumptuary legislation,”
which prevented the editor from exhibiting
himself ab the county fair with a silk hat
and gold-headed cane, as intended. After
this a change to another ‘“‘patent” house oc-
casioned an interval of three weeks between
publishing days. The publisher had just
resumed business when he was employed
to publish a series of ministerial lectures on
the evils of novel reading—his compensa-
tion being the promise of a large addition to
his subscription list. Hardly had the arti-
cles begun to appear when the new ‘‘patent” |
people commenced a serial, translated from
the French, and one which nearly verged
on the limits of obscenity, and in eonse-
quence: thereof the promised lot of new
supporters failed to materialize, and numbers
of old ones droped off.
_ But I didn’t intend to. inject the Simoon
into this article, and I wilt cut short the re-
lation of the trials and tribulations of its
proprietor; but as obseure as it has-been,
and under all its adverse and depressing
circumstances, I could find in one copy of
it more of interest and information and an-
nouncement than I have ever found in all
the English papers, combined, that I have
had the opportunity of preserving.

OREGON AND WASHINGTON,

 

 

No section of the country is to-day attracting as
much attention as Montana, Oregon and Washington;
Montana, because it now ranks first in the production
of precious metals; Oregon, betausé of its rich val-
leys, and Washington Territory by reason of its
miid climate, timber,.coa], minerais and wonderful
production of fruits and cereals. The rapid growth
of Spekane Falls, with a water power exceeding even
that of Minneapolis; Tacoma, on Puget Sound, the
terminus of the Northern Pacific Railroad, with
12,000 inhabitants; Seattle 30 miles distant, an ener-
gctic and thriving city, mark this section of the

acific Northwest as one that offers peculiar indute-
ments to those seeking new homes.

By writing Chas. S. Fee, General Passenger Agent,
Northern Pacific Railroad, St. Paul, Minn., he will
send you illustrated pamphlets, maps and books
giving you valuabye information in feference to the
country traversed by this great line from St. Paul,
Minneapolis, Duluih and Ashland to Portland, Ore.
£08; and Tacoma and Seattle, Washington Territory.

This road. in addition to being the only rail line to
Spokane Falls, Tacoma-and Seattle, reaches all the
principal points in Northern Minnesota and Dakota,
“Montana, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington, possesses
unequiled scenic atiractions, as well as superior
train equipment, such as dining ears, and colonist
sleepers for the use of intending settlers, neither of
which conveniences are to be found on any other
Tine BekeaNe business to the States and Territories
named.

MILWAUKEE, Wis., Oct. 20, 1887.
Ph. Best Brewing Co., Milwaukee, Wis.:
GENTLEMEN—I have used in my family
and practice the Liquid Extract of Malt and

‘Hops, known as The ‘‘Best” Tonic, with

the most satisfactory results. I consider
the Malt Extract the most valuable of all of
its class of Tonics, and especially adapted
to those cases of debility arising from en-
feebled digestion. The ‘‘Best” Tonic I be-
lieve fully equal to the best imported Malt
Extract, and I am confident will give satis-
faction to patient and physician.

J. H. THompeson, M. D.

MILWAUKEE, Wis., Oct. 21, 1887.

Ph. Best Brewing Co., Milwaukee, Wis.:

Dear Sirs—I take pleasure in stating
that your ‘‘Best” Tonic is the most palatable
of any preparation of Malt, and that from
its prompt and reliable effect, I prescribe it
in preference to that of any other make.

Yours truly,

J. R. McDiut.

MILWAUKEE, Wis., Oct. 21, 1887.

Ph. Best Brewing Co., Milwaukee, Wis.:

GENTLEMEN—I have used The “Best”
‘Tonic in my own family and in my prac-
tice, ever since it was brought to my atten-
tion by the Phillip Best Brewing Co., and
am free to say that I believe it to be the
most palatable and useful of the Malt pre-

Ww. Fox, M. D.

 

Cuicago, Dec. 6, 1887.

Ph, Best Brewing Co., Milwaukee, Wis.:

GENTLEMEN—1 have had the pleasure of
examining and testing the qualities of The
“Best” Tonic, not only in my practice but
in my family. Am most highly pleased
with its medicinal qualities, and cordially
recommend it to those, who, by reason of
nervous exhaustion, find it necessary to re-
sort to Tonics and extra nutrients. A wine

lass ful before each regular meal, in-
creases the appetite and improves digestion:
administered upon retiring at night, has the
effect to produce most tranquil sleep.

Respectfully,
J. HARVEY Bares, M. D.

MILWAUKEE, Wis., Oct. 26, 1887.

Ph. Best Brewing Co., Milwaukee, Wis.:
DEAR Srrs—I thankfully received the
two bottles of your Concentrated Liquid Ex-
tract of Malt and Hops, and am impressed.

with the value of thiS good and nutritive | ~

preparation. It is really a: highly nutritive
Tonic and remedial agent in building up a
weak constitution, -strengthening the nery-

ous system, anda valuable substitute for
solid food, particularly if given after dis- ©
_| eases, in cases of injuries of the body, and

especially when the appetite is diminished...
It will be difficult to find a better Tonic
than the “Best,” and I cheerfully testify

The t aight that comes upper-

hen in the west, is the

ng ntertained there by them of the

s of the East and the acute knowl-
“wonderful intimacy which they

atly display in regard to the ways

latter; but which close acquaintance-

7 ‘brotherhood is remarkably absent

an the Eastern portion of the country.
‘ow, there is, apparently, a great need of -
some feformation here, aside from all hu-
_ manitarian considerations,, as our material
_. Gnterests are at stake and something more
- should be done by the East to satisfy and
protect the rapid growing trade, or the
vast interests of this eountry. In conse-
-yuence of the difficulties of handling this
_ produce in New York, many years ago an
_@rganization was formed to facilitate the
a business, called the Butter and Cheese Ex-
- ghange, but it dealt entirely in eggs and but-
_-ter. It was, however, as in the case with
most improvements, looked on as a novelty

by some and considerable prejudice was |_

“ ereated against it in the minds of others for
fear that they might lose some profits in
their business by the publicity of its affairs.
Nevertheless, it still continues to exist to
“this day, but is now known or is generally
called the Mercantile Exchange. In view
of the enormous amount of interest it rep-
resents, or rather pretends to represent—
_ “estimated by some to be nearly eight hun-

‘dred millions of dollars—it ought to bea
~wery active, vigorous and thriving affair.
~ Even the prospective increase in the value

ef these products should be sufficient to

“make it a public spirited institution, elevat-

ing and educating, not only its own mem-
bers but all those who come in contact with
at both far -and near. In this way, the
whole country might receive the benefit and
it would redound to its own personal and
material advantage and prosperity, also;
Dut this is not its apparent aim, however,

for it resists all progress and enterprise

and any suggested improvements in its
mode of doing business as a dangerous inno-
vation, believing and fearing that perhaps,
thereby, something might be lost from the
gains of their present old methods of trans-
acting their business. In their opinion, it
matters not from whom the ery for reform

may come, whether it be from the outsidey

world or the trade, even if comes from the
‘Great West, provided they can keep it
‘highly respectable and harmonious to the
powers that be on the inside of this Ex-
_ Shange.

This is euhainly. not an enterprising
state of affairs, and there can be no pre-
ress where there is no enterprise.

- Now, when the time for improvement
“ees come we shall see the present half-
. hearted, hap-hazard, uncertain methods,
. ROW called rules for inspection of butter,
' . q@hanged to something more positive and
certain, as they could be. There is great
pom for progress to be instituted, also for
- the inspection of eggs, and that must soon
- geome. also, before it can prosper much.
* ake all the world over, there is nothing so
-mischiveous as uncertainty—nothing so
paralyzing as doubt with transactions in
> trade or anything else. It is only the most
“amscrupulous and reckless who thrive or
@esire to trade under these conditions.

- Hence, this lack pf business from the bet- |

der portion of the community.

_. As the world progresses, and new men
wonstantly take the place of the old, per-
‘haps it may be the good fortune of the New
“York Mercantile Exchange to have some
great and fiery genius brought to its coun--
ils some day who will be able to arouse it
from its ptesent. torpid,” lifeless, inanimate,
pbjectless, useless and selfish life to one of
sprogressive and enlightened ways, so that
