CAUGHT IN THE ACT.
Written for THE TRADESMAN,
The nature of a traveling man’s business
brings him into contact with nearly every
description of people and personal charac-
teristics. I have formed, through its agency,
many pleasant acquaintanceships, to which
memory often carries me back with pleas-
ure. Some years ago, I became acquainted
with a gentleman by the name of Stan-
wood, a wealthy merchant residing and car-
rying on a large dry geods business in De-
troit. Mr. Stanwood was a widower, and
his family consisted of only two persons—
a niece and an only son.
Sadie Stanwood, his niece, was a beauti-
ful girl about twenty years of age. She
was tall and gracefully formed. Her hair
was a rich, deep brown and her eyes blue,
shrouded with long eyelashes, which gave a
sweet, dreamy expression to her face. Her
complexion was pure as the driven snow,
while every feature was softened and har-
monized by the womanly amiability thrown
about her every change of mood. Her
neck and shoulders might have served as a
model for a sculptor, they were so exquis-
itely chiseled. When she moved, it was
with that undulating grace common only to
those so endowed by lavish nature.
Such was Sadie Stanwood when I first
knew her. Had I not been married and
possessed of the best wife in the world, she
would have been just the woman I would
have chosen for a life companion; for her
natural disposition, the cultivation of her
mind and the amiability of her character
fully equaled her physical beauty. She had
sO won upon her uncle’s heart that he loved
her better than he did his own son. This,
however, might be accounted for from the
fact that John Stanwood was an extremely
dissipated young man. He had long ago
exhausted his father’s affection for him by
the dissolute life he led, and was only per-
mitted by sufferance to bean intimate of his
father’s house.
One day, Mr. Stanwood, Sr., invited me
to dine with him. I accepted the invitation
and we passed a very pleasant hour to-
gether at the social board. After dinner,
being something of an invalid, my host ex-
cused himself for half an hour while he
went to lie down. I amused myself, in the
meantime, examining some _ illustrated
works placed on the drawing-room table.
The apartment in which I was ‘seated was
only separated from an adjoining one by
folding doors. I should have stated that
Miss Stanwood had also excused herself,
under the plea of having to write some let-
ters. Left to my own reflections, I fell into
a reverie which, I suppose, must have ended
in a doze, for I was suddenly awakened to
consciousness by the sound of voices in the
adjoining apartment. The evening was
somewhat advanced, consequently the noises
in the street had almost entirely ceased.
Owing to this fact, I distinctly heard every
word uttered. It was the voice of Mr.
Stanwood’s son, John, which had awakened
me.
‘Sadie, listen to me,” he exclaimed, with
a peculiar, thick utterance which told plainly
that he had been drinking; ‘‘you know 1
love you. Yes, dear girl, I adore the very
ground you walk on. Your beauty is so
great that you appear more like a fairy
creature of the brain than a human being.”
‘‘Have done with your senseless compli-
ments, John,” returned Sadie. “Why doe
you persecute meso? I havealready made
known my decision. It is irrevocable.”
‘Dearest one, do not say that! Oh, if
you but knew how deeply your image is
engraven upon my heart! My every thought
is of you; every pulse of my heart beats
for you, angel—smile upon me!”
“John, you are intoxicated!
you address me in this manner ?”
“Dearest cousin, I adore you, and, by
Heaven, you shall be mine !”
‘I pity your condition, and I beg, sir, you
will leave me.”
‘‘Never, my charming cousin, until you
say that you love me. I would sell my
soul for one kiss from those tempting lips !
Icould sit all day and gaze wonderingly
into those glorious eyes! Dearest—dar-
ling—be mine, be mine !”
It was evident the young man was work-
ing himself into a passionate frenzy.
“Mr. Stanwood, unless you leave the
room I shall call for assistance !
‘No, you shall not! Itis true you have
supplanted me in my father’s love. It is
trfie he has left you the bulk of his fortune,
while he has only bestowed a miserable pit-
tance upon me. Not content with having
effected this, you despise my love—but, by
the heavens above us, you shall be mine!”
Teould hear the rustling of drapery, by
which I knew that Sadie had: risen from
her chair, doubtless to ring the bell.
‘Sadie, you shall not escape me,” contin-
ued the young man. ‘‘I repeat it, you
shall be mine! Dear girl, come to my
heart—let me fold you in my arms.”
A half-suppressed scream now reached

water restored her to consciousness, but it
was some time before I could make her be-
lieve the danger was past.
I thought it my duty to acquaint Mr.
Stanwood with the whole transaction, that
proper measures might be adopted to pre-
vent a recurrence of the persecution. John
Stanwood was forbidden the house. About
a week after this occurrence, I left on a trip
South lasting about a month. The very
night I returned to Detroit, I received a visit
from a well-known lawyer, an old school-
mate, who still kept up the boyhood prac-
tice of making me his confidant and ad-
viser.
‘‘Frank,” said he, when he entered the
hotel, ‘‘I have been here a dozen times to
see you to-day. Thank God, you are here
at last!’
‘Why, what’s the matter, More ?”
‘Tam in great trouble and I want you to
help me out. You were well acquainted
with Mr. Stanwood, were you not ?”
“Certainly. I know him well—he is a
particular friend of mine; but why do you
use the past tense ?”
*‘Are you not aware that he is dead ?”
‘Dead! Is it possible ?”
“Yes, he died yesterday.”
“Is there any suspicion connected with
his death ?”
‘‘None at all; he has been ailing for some
time. He died of disease of the heart. A
post mortem examination has settled that
question satisfactorily. You are aware,
perhaps, that I am his lawyer, and you also
know the terms on which he lived with his
son. About three months ago, Mr. Stan-
wood sent for me to make his will. AsI
said, he has been in failing health for some
time past and did not know how soon he
might be called away from earth. I drew
up his will as requested. By its provisions,
his niece was made his heiress, a small pen-
sion, only, being left to his son. This will
was properly signed and attested.”
‘Excuse me forinterrupting you,” said I,
“but was John Stanwood cognizant of the
provisions of his father’s will 2”
‘Not that I am aware of; but, now you
mention it, I distinctly remember at the
time of witnessing it a sudden rustling was
heard at one end of the room and‘ door
was heard to close, but no notice was taken
of the circumstance at the time.”
‘*Exactly; that must have been the young
man listening, for I have reason to know
that he was aware of the contents of the
will.”
And I then related the conversation I had
overheard between Sadie and John Stan-
wood.
‘*This may be very important,” said More,
as soon as I had concluded; ‘‘but Ict me
finish what Ihave to say. The will was
confided to my care. I put itin an envelope
and locked it in my private desk. The
moment I learned of his death, I opened
the desk and took out the envelope in which
I had placed the will. Judge of my con-
sternation when I found it contained only a
blank sheet of paper !”
**A blank sheet of paper!
been stolen, then ?”
‘*Yes. When I made the discovery I was
completely thunderstruck. I could neither
speak nor act. I sank into my chair utterly
prostrated. After a little, I recovered my
faculties and then began to turn over in my
mind the best course to pursue. For-
tunately, I was alone.”
“Do you suspect no one ?”
“I don’t know whom to suspect. But,
from what you have told me, it is very
probable that John Stanwood has some-
thing to do with it. But it is utterly im-
possible that he could have gained access to
my private office and desk.”
‘How many clerks have you?” I asked.
‘*T have three, and they all enjoy my most
implicit confidence. In the first place, none
of them knew the will was there. They
have been with me many years, and I can-
not entertain the slightest suspicion of
them. Long intercourse with the world
has taught me, however, te be cautious, so
I have not mentioned the will to them at
all. I closed and locked my desk again
and went about my business as usual.”
**You did quite right. Did the desk bear
any evidence of having been looked into ?”
- “Not the least in the world. Whoever
entered it must have possessed a duplicate
key.”
‘‘And you have had no reason to suspect
your clerks since ?”
“No; when they entered I watched them
narrowly, but I could not detect any evi-
dence of guilt in their manner. I then
thought of you and determined to ask your
help in the matter. I knew to oblige me
you would be glad to give it. I have eaten
nothing since I discovered the loss, and I
am most miserable.” *

formed a dozen different plans but was al
loss to know which to adopt. While I
thus engaged, my eye fell upon a copy of
daily paper. I mechanically picked it up
without, however, intending to read it. My
eyes rested upon a. column of advertise-
ments. Suddenly, they were arrested by the
following, under the heading of ‘‘Person-—

I was very much pleased with ‘this discov—

bribed one of More’s clerks. My mind-was.

I watched the clock until the hour ar-

room on my right. Presently, the first was:

the partition and placed my ear against it.
“Mr. Stanwood,” exclaimed a voice, “E

‘“‘And I assure you, Simes, I am more

I knew Simes was More’s confidential

“Do you think he has discovered the losa;

‘Oh, no, I am certain he has not.”
‘‘Well, then, to business,” said Stanwood.
‘How much do you want for the will ?”
“It is a very valuable paper, Mr. Stan-

“Oh, yes. But come—what am I to give

“You shall give me your note of hand

I could hear them arranging some papers.
I left the apartment and crept noiselessly
to the door of their room. I peered through
the key-hole, and saw Stanwood in the act
of writing a promissory note. The clerk
then drew out the will and gave it to Stan-
wood. ‘The latter eagerly seized it, a smile.

So saying, he picked up the will to com-

gas jet, but at that moment I burst into the
room and snatched the paper from his grasp.
My movement was so quick he had no time
to arrest it.

THE FIRST ‘STEP.
A step in the right direction is the bill
which has passed the House to. create a
| Department of Agriculture, with a cabinet
officer at its head. This bill removes the
| Bureau of Agriculture from the Interior
Department, and makes it a department by
itself. But this is only a first step. There
is no good reason for giving this kind of
recognition to our agriculture, which does
not apply equally to our commerce and our
manufactures. In the cabinets of European
countries there are representatives of the
great industrial interests, and even of
forestry in-some cases. Our treatment of
these interests as subjects only of taxation
and census reports is unworthy of our
position as the wealthiest and most peaceful
of nations. We give the fighting services
of the nation two cabinet offices, where one
would be more than enough—to our peace-
ful employments a bureau!
There is no magic in the number seven
which now makes up the total of the Cabi-
net. Originally there were but three cabi-
net places; the other four have been added
at various times as indications of our needs
determined. To make the seven ten would
neither make an unwieldy Cabinet, nor de-
tract from the symmetry of the executive
offices. It would give us a Cabinet more in
harmony with the real life and the actual
needs of the nation than that which now
exists. And it would put us in the way of
elevating the character of our legislation
about the public domain and the land laws,
rivers and harbors, tariff duties and subsi-
dies or other aid to shipping, by throwing
upon the new Officials the responsibility of
obtaining and furnishing authentic informa-
tion on these and the like points.
It is said that the present Administration
is not desirous of enlarging the Cabinet by
even a single member. This may be true
or not; but, if'true, it only indicates how
far the ultra-practical theory of the sphere
and the functions of government has ob-
tained control of its head. If the duties of
the government are simply those of the
policeman and the tax-gatherer, then, of
course, there is no room for cabinet min-
isters who represent the nation’s industrial
life. But even those countries which pro-
fess to accept this theory and to regard
wealth and the industry which creates it as
a matter of mere individual concern, man-
age to be happily inconsistent in this
matter; and so Mr. Cleveland can afford to
be.
The admission of General Joseph John-
ston to contributory membership in a Phila-
delphia branch of the G. A. R. has caused
some discussion, which has not been con-
ducted in the best spirit by those who deny
his eligibility. It may be that the rules of
the Grand Army exclude him. But it
should be remembered that his application
for membership was an expression of a
right and noble feeling, which does not call
for offensive references to his past career.
He was the ablest general of the Confed-
eracy after General Lee, and was hated cor-
dially by Jefferson Davis. He has not
shown himself, like Mr. Davis, an unrecon-
structed rebel, who gives all his time to
Keeping alive the bitter memories of the
past. His presence at General Grant’s
funeral as a chief mourner is not to be for-
gotten by General Grant’s companions in
arms. And if it isto be decided that he is
technically ineligible to contributory mem-
bership, it should be notified to him in terms
of honorable regard and esteem. We quite
understand and fully sympathize with the
feeling which prompted the Philadelphia
commandery to accept him, whether it was
right or wrong in view of the rules of the
organization.
A Grand Army reunion on the most ex-
tensive scale at Gettysburg this summer is
proposed, and the President is to take part
in it. Congress is asked to give $25,000 to-
ward paying the expenses of soldiers who

ment of the political campaign, such a gath-
ering would have its uses. And, of course,
all the candidates for the presidency—of
whom two probably will be Generals of the
Union army and members of the Grand
Army—will be invited to lay aside fora
time the labors of the canvass and show
themselves on that field. It is announced
that Mr. Cleveland will read Mr. Lincoln’s
Gettysburg address by way of preface to
his own speech on the occasion. Let us
suggest that he do not spoil what the West-
minster Review pronounced ‘‘the greatest
oration in the English language” by reading
it im the usual mistaken fashion. In the
famous expression, ‘‘the government of the

inventories over $26,000, and consists of
the homestead on West Fort street and in-
terests in the former firms of Root & Bar-
bour and Root& Co. There are no liabil-
ities, Mrs. Root says, against the assets.
Besides, she has collected $238,000 on life
insurance policies made in her favor.

account as executor of the C. R. Mabley
estate on the 23d. He showed that he had

hand $38,800.02. He asked the court to,
allow him $3,078.86 as commission, at 1
per cent. for collecting and accounting for
the personal estate, and $5,950 for extraor-
dinary services. Judge Durfee allowed the
account, with the exception that the item
for extraordinary services is cut down to

allowed.
Detroit—Assignee Thurber opened the
sealed bids for the stock, fixtures, lease and

closed: J. L. Hudson, 6915 cents on the
dollar; H. B. Claflin & Co.,° New York,
6714 cents; C. H. Reilly, 60 cents; Hugh
Glenn & Co., New York, 61 cents; George
Peck, 53 cents; James Metcalf, father of
the Metcalf Bros., 69384 cents; James H.

$168,000. Open bidding then started in
with fifty-seven bidders and soon simmered
down to Hugh Glenn & Co., J. L. Hudson
and H. B. Claflin & Co. Hugh Glenn &
Co. dropped out when the bidding reached
the $200,000 notch, leaving only Claflin &
Co. & J. L. Hudson in the field. The bid-
ding was spirited until Claflin & Co. made
one of $207,500, when it was knocked
down to them. J. L. Hudson’s last bid was
$207,000. As the liabilities are $308,159.90,

Bank Notes.
The capital stock for the new national
bank at Saginaw City is nearly all sub-
scribed. The moving spirit is D. Hardin,
late of the Citizens’ National Bank. The
capital is $100,000. This will make five
banks for Saginaw, two new ones within
a month.
A thorough knowledge of the inside con-
dition of the Engelmann estate furnishes
another instance of the lack of caution ob-
served by the banks in loaning money when
the borrower is reputed to be wealthy.
‘While the man of ordinary means is com-
‘pelled to furnish a good endorser or supply
collateral of unquestioned value,the man who
calls himself a millionaire is loaded down
with loans without so much asa question.
Until bankers come to realize that the loans
of large operators must be scrutinized just
‘|as closely as accommodations given small
| borrowers, so long will heavy losses have |
be borne by the occasional failure of
nbitious men like Clay and Engelmann.

BUT THE ORIGINAL BIL
ST lll in the RING!
Lhe reception which the “BILL NYE” Cigar
has been accorded by the American people has sur-
passed in cordiality and universality that of any
candidate for public favor in the history of the craft.
The great American humorist possesses a popular-
ity so marked and wide-spread that his name has
become a passport to all American hearts through-
out the length and breadth of the land; and the
“BILL NYE” Cigar which he so kindly and even
proudly sponsored, was no sooner placed upon the
market than it was immediately accepted, by virtue
of its nomenclature, as the standard 5 cent Cigar of
America. Itssuperior merits made its reputation
permanent and lent additional force to the popular-
ity which its title had achieved for it, and it occupies
to-daya position in public favor which no other 5
cent Cigar has ever been able to attain. Mindful
of this fact and knowing the preatige that pure gold
will sometimes lend todross, wily and unscrupulous
manufacturers have fabricated a worthless imitation
of the “BILL NYE” Cigar, and they have already
unblushingly attempted to foist it upon the public,
whose endorsement they have the effrontery to de-
mand. These commercial vampires, who suck the
life blood of honest industry and blight the healthy
Seni
7 | |
The Goun
?)activity of business energy and experience, have had
the unparalleled < and unmitigated audacity to steal
the name “Bill Nye” and flaunt it on their lying la-
bels. Like the desperate freebooters of old, they
have hoisted the black flag of commercial piracy,
“land they scour the broad seas of industry and
scuttle honest crafts. They cannot hope, however,
with their rotten imitations to blight the prospects
or depreciate the merits of the “BILL NYE” Cigar,
which is so firmly rooted in the popular apprecia-
tion that it stands to-day the BANNER FIVE
CENT CIGAR OF AMERICA.

been made during the past year, owing to the
existence of the inter-state commerce law.
‘The Grand Trunk system and T., A.A. & N.
Hailway have resumed the sale of week-end
tickets, but no other line has accorded that
concession... The report was accepted and
placed on file. . as
The C. & W. M. Railway having reflected on
the use of the week-end tickets, C. S. Kelsey
moved that a statement of the facts in the case
be requested of the Secretary of the Railway
Association of Michigan. The report was
adopted.
Reports were also received from the Com-
mittees on Press, Legislation, Hotels, Bus and
Baggage and Employment, all of which were
accepted.
The report of the Secretary-Treasurer
showed a total membership of 239. The re-
sources of the Diyision are $223.64 and the
liabilities $215.60. The report was accepted
and placed on file.
M. J. Matthews moved that the chairman of
the Board of Directors choose two associates
to investigate the status of the Division.
The motion was adopted.
E. A. Stowe presented the following resolu-
tion:
Resolved—That this Division demand of the
National Treasurer the immediate remittance
of the funds misappropriated by that officer,
and that in the event of his failure to do so
within twenty days suit be brought against
him by the President and Secretary of this
Division.
The motion provoked considerable discus-
sion and was finally adopted with but one dis-
senting vote.
C. 8. Kelsey then made a personal explana-
tion in relation to his part in the collection of
a fund to send the National T. P. A. band, to
St. Louis, in connection with which he intro-
duced the following document.
This certifies that the special fund of $200,
subscribed by the merchants and business
houses of Detroit to meet the expense of the
- P. A. band of Union City to the National T.
P. A. convention, held at St. Louis on June
24-27, 1887, which was not used, owing to the
failure of said band to go and which has
been under the custody of C. S. Kelsey, as a
special fund, to be used for the same purpose
at the National convention at Minneapolis on
June 24-27, 1888, by the consent of the sub-
scribers, has our full and free consent to be
used for the purpose named.
Further, that in the management and dis-
bursement of such fund, we have the fullest
confidence in the ability and integrity of C. S.
Kelsey to act in the interest of all parties con-
cerned:
Edson, Moore & Co., $25: Alger, Smith & Co.,

As indicating the hands in which the funds
has been placed, Mr. Kelsey presented the
following receipt:

raising a fund to send the T. P. A. band to the
National convention and that the fullest con-
fidence of this Division be expressed in his
ability to properly disburse the funds as in-
tended by the donors.
The T. P. A. band of Union City offered to
gotothe National convention at Minneapolis
for bare expenses. The offer was accepted
with thanks and the President, Secretary
and C. 8. Kelsey were appointed a committee
to make the necessary arrangements.

Public Market Wanted at the Sawdust |
City.
From the Muskegon Business Gazette.
At a special meeting of the Association, held
in the council chamber on Tuesday evening,
the Committee on Trade Interests made a
lengthy report upon the subject of a city mar-
ket, referred tothem at a previous meeting,
and recommended the following, which, after
full discussion, were unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That in the opinion of the Muske-
gon Business Men’s Association the best inter-
ests of the city and its increasing population
will be prometed by the establishment of a
public city market. Such market should have
ample grounds, centrally located, with build-
ings sufficient to meet the needs of the bust
ness that will there be done, under such rules
4 | haaneeciea as shall advance the interests

Resolved, That the Council should, by an or-
dinance, at once iimit and put under control
all street peddling, roveotng the legitimate
interests of the oon ucer and tradesman and
preventing imposition upon customers.
Resolved, That a system of ins jon of all

They completed the work on the 22d, when
they rendered the committee the following
report: :
MANISTEE, May 22, 1888.
To the Committee of the Creditors of the
Manistee Salt and Lumber Co.:
Our examination has been made from the
organization of the company, and, while
‘such a mass of figures could not be looked
over in detail in the comparatively short
Space of time allowed us, we have given it
enough searching investigation to Satisfy
ourselves that the report and the papers we
now submit fer*your inspection, to the best
of our judgment and belief, on the infor-
mation we have been able to get and obtain,
show the condition of the Manistee Salt &
Lumber Co., on the date of their assign-
ment, which was February 29, 1888. __'
Respectfully,
A. H. Comstock, of E. Saginaw.
CuAs. A. Fousom, of Chicago.
The experts found the books Straight,and
in common with the creditors, were amazed
committee, after con
sidering n thoroughly, decided
|to ask the court to appoint a co-receiver in|
‘the person of James. Gamble, formerly a
well-known lumberman and lawyer of East
Saginaw but who has resided for some time
past in Minnesota. He is a brother-in-law
of W. R. Burt, of East Saginaw, and is
recognized as a gentleman of ability and
integrity. It isnot apprehended that Mr.
Kitzinger, the regular receiver, will offer
any objections to this move on the part of
the Creditors.
It is the intention of the creditors, as ex-
pressed by the committee, to close out the
estate as soon as sales can be effected to
advantage. The property will be divided
into parcels and sealed bids for each parcel
solicited. The creditors have an expert in
the woods estimating the value of. the pine
lands of the estate, but a report from him
is not looked for before about June 10. In
the absence of his report, which may change
the situation very materially, it looks as
though the creditors would be able to
realize about 75 per cent. from the estate.

: is usually very uninteresting to the average
: reader, I had, perhaps, better wait for some
favorable opportunity for a verbal infliction
of my ideas. But the singular mental ob-

while those of the people with whom we

- themselves upon us, is a matter whieh can
afford any thinking man a vast amount of
food for reflection. And theassimilation of.
this food, by any thinking man, ought to
prove more than passingly beneficial. Par-
- taken of liberally, it might have a healing
effect on numerous diseases incident to the
church, the bar and the legislative assembly.
It might have a wonderful sedative effect on
domestic discords and community conten-
tions. It might quiet the ebullitions of po-
litical campaigns, and it might even subdue
the inflamation which produces the casus

have ne better effect than restoring you and

tially important article for mental digestion.
= *% * * &
A recent conversation which I had with
Mr. Slimmer convinced me that even the
most deyout men are far from being exempt
from the mote and beam failing. The ex-
preacher recently engaged a new clerk, and,
on the occasion mentioned, I inquired how
he liked the young man.
“I can hardly say that I am pleased,”
said Mr. S.;” he has one habit that really
makes me tired. -He is perpetually sling-
ing out slang phrases and cant words, and
lain’t builtin the right way to appreciate it.
Don’t you forget it, he’s got to quit that hab-
or quit these premises.”
**But he’s honest and truthful, isn’t he ?”
**I think he’s honest, but, unfortunately,
he’s given to exaggeration, which is only
another name for lying. For instance, he
went down to the river the other morning
and came back telling about a fifteen-pound
pickerel that got off his hook. Now, you
and I know that there isn’t a fifteen-pound
pickerel in the river. By the way, did 1
ever teil you about a singular fishing ex-
perience I had a couple of years ago? No!
Well, one terribly dull day I got tired of
waiting for customers, and borrowed a fish-
pole, and dug some worms, and went down
to the siver for a little change of pro-
gramme. I fished for probably an hour
y without a bite, and then I caught a little
sucker. I had just got him to the top of
the water, when a black bass took him down
at one mouthful and, while I was working |.
to get the bass ashore, a big pickerel swal-
lowed him, and I landed all three fish 1to-
gether. The sucker weighed a pound, the
bass a little over three pounds, and the
pickerel exactly seventeen pounds. Curious,
wasn’t it?” .
I didn’t intimate to Slimmer that the
weight of the three fish had increased a lit-
tle over twenty per cent. since I first heard
_ the story.

1 was present once when a minister, who
has since become somewhat celebrated in
- his line, preached a very eloquent and argu-
mentative sermon on the sin of covetous-
-ness. Hedepict2d the uselessness of money
- when compared with other things and held
‘+ up the founder of Christianity as a model;
but at the close of his remarks he announced
that he had felt constrained to accept a
“call” from another town because of a large
- increase of salary.
Perhaps the majority of us are not cas-
_ muistic enough to always discern the differ-
sence between hypocrisy and mental blind-
mess to personal defects of character. It
“would hardly seem possible that Silas Mug-
- gins, Esq., Police Justice, after spending
a convivial night with ‘‘the boys,” could so
ie forcibly and smoothly lecture the ‘‘vags”
brought before him and so calmly and de-
sly measure out sentences for an un-

In, as'1 trust and believe, a very kindly,

to call the attention of Smith, Brown, Jones
and Robinson to sundry little inconsist-
encies of their own, and = assure the
quartette that, should they see proper to
ventilate, severally or collectively, the short-
comings of myself, in a like public manner,
Ishal! have no serious grounds for com-
plaint. Now, Smith is a dealer in various
mercantile commodities, and, on the whole,
is a person for whom I have considerable
regard; but before he delivers me another
lecture on sponges and attacks sundry fel-
low-citizens for alleged penuriousness, I
would like to have him discontinue his daily
practice of monopolizing my morning paper
for a half-hour or more befere I can get a
look at it, and also like to have him’ return
several valued books which I lent him
some time in the dim past. Brown isa
well-to-do farmer, and if he, at any time,
wanted a considerable proportion of my
stock on credit, I should be glad to let him
earry it off, but if Brown will go up to my
ill ‘listen. with: much more ‘equanimity to
his chronic insinuations that all dealers and
| middlemen could not be honest if they tried
to be. I have introduced Jones to the
reader before, and the reader may have, per-
haps, noticed that I really like the old fel-.
low, but that doesn’t prevent me from seeing
his inconsistency in eternally denouncing
base ball, boat racing and all the other
amusements and pastimes that fascinate the
younger gentrations, when he will himself
become almost insane overa closely con-
tested horse race. Robinson’s great hobby
is the want of purity in our political sys-
tem, and he really argues the dangers that
menace us.from this evil in a very effective
and convincing manner; but Robinson’s elo-
quence is nearly wasted on me, because I
know that he would vote for the vilest ras-
eal unhung and for the most noted idiot of his
locality, rather than scratch his party
ticket.
There, Messrs. Smith, Brown, Jones and
Robinson, is a mere glimpse at your various
inconsistencies, but even that ought to be
sufficient to induce you to let your neigh-
bor’s ‘‘motes” alone until you have made an
honest effort to remedy your own defects.

ing in front of one of the leading
altural implement and mill machinery
ouses in our bustling city was a thrifty-
ppearing farmer’s team attached to a lum-
‘ber wagon, wherein sat, perched high upon
the spring-seat, a woman about forty years
of age. Upon the sidewalk, holding the
reins, stood a young man, evidently the
m or hired man of the woman in
the wagon. The woman had an air
of business and shrewd intelligence un-
common to ‘the gentler sex, and, while
waiting for a car, curiosity to hear the con-
-yersation prompted me to outwardly gaze on
the passers-by, the while keeping my ears
_ When I first came upon the scene, the
lady was dickering with a member of the
aforementioned firm for a spring-tooth har-
‘tow which lay upon the sidewalk near by.
**Ye can’t take no less for it?” was the
“first interrogation made by the lady in the
wagon.
**No, ma’am,” responded the gentleman,
“that is the Igast we can sell them at and
make any profit. We have to make aliv-
ing, you know.”
“Hain’t ye got none with iron on the
~ frames ?”
“No, ma’am, this is the only kind we
_ have at present.”
**Are ye sure the teeth won’t get loose?
The one I had last year all come loose an’ I
-had to throw it away.”
“T can assure you,” responded Mr. H.,
patiently, ‘‘these can not by any means get
‘loose. We guarantee them.”
**Kin I take one on trial ?”
**Well, we are not in the habit of doing
it, but if you will be careful of it, you may
take one for a week and then, if not satis-
we'll refund the money. John, go
When the clerk departed upon his errand,
- the woman said:
“Pve got kind o’ skeery tradin’ at new
I’ve been dealin’ up yonder,” and
she pointed a bony finger up the street,
“Sever since he started in. I’ve tried dealin’
: at new groceries, boot an’ shoe stores, dry
‘goods stores an’ all the rest. You'll buy of
‘aman along, get good goods and good
measure for a while, an’ finally fyou’ll get
sold op something. Well, you'll let it go
for a while, an’ when you"
him with cheatin’ you, you’ll find some one
t ready to tax
‘runnin’ the store an’ the feller that cheated
_ yeis clerkin’ for some one else.”
_ My car came along just then and I had
-toleave, but my thoughts kept pondering
' the shrewd words that showed the woman’s
keen insight into the trickery and deceitful-
- mess of some modern disreputable traders.
it is becoming too common an occurrence
tora young man, having saved up afew
~ hundred dollars and becoming possessed of
-a@ small retail business, to overlook the more
‘essential details thereof and imagine that,
‘as older, better established and more finan-
ially solid firms succeed and add to their
wWentures by sure accumulations, without
any great apparent effort on the part of the
owners, he, too, may lead the life of appar-
#nt ease and outward affluence concomitant
to the more successful, and continue to wax
rich and opulent the while.
‘he result of such idle and foolish lack
of attention to business is made only too
apparent by the words of the woman ve-| &

without a murmur. But here he is again
mistaken. "Perhaps, through: his shrewd-
ness. (2). he weathers the storm and expects
anew era of prosperity to dawn upon his
business. His former customers and cred-
itors are once more in a suitable financial
condition to trade where they see fit. They
remeniber the cheats’ and frauds practiced
| upon them when they were helpless, and
their eash, which, otherwise, would have
helped to raise their creditor’s business to a
higher plane than ever before the depres-
sion, goes to swell the coffers of the older
and more reliable traders. Perhaps our
young merchant gets all that is due him,
but the supposition is hardly admissible. In
either event, he goes to the wall and, in the
not distant future, is sold out by his own
creditors and is ‘‘clerking for some one
else.”
The illustration have hae depicted is
not an uncommon one. Could the facts
in many sheriffs’ sales and assignments be
laid open that ‘‘He who runs might read,”
we should see, in one way or another, this
growing and ever-present evil—a lack of
attention and forethought in _ business.
“Oh, thata man might know the end of
this day’s business ere it comes!” Many
traders, when wishing is futile because too
late, long for an opportunity to retrieve
their fortunes and standing, wrecked
through a lack of discernment, honesty and
careful attention to details. RELLUF.

The Grocery Market.
The spell is broken and the apathy in the
sugar market has given away toa slight ad-
vance in granulated, with further advances
in prospect. Just where the advance will
stop is something of a conundrum.
syrups are down 2c. per gallon, in conse-
quence of the temporary abandonment of
of the sugar trust. Cheese is down another
44e. and the tendency is still downward.
Currants have advanced, on account of
searcity, which is claimed to be caused by
the unusual consumption of that article
by the French people this year. Rice is
strong. Tobaccos are stationary at present
but all authorities agree that there wil? be
an advance before long, some asserting that
it will amount to 4c. per pound by the mid-
dle of August. One thing is evident, and
that is that if it were notfor the large
stocks held by both retailers and jobbers,
the manufacturers weuld force prices up
several cents per pound. Rio coffees con-
tinue to grow firmer and the package man-
ufacturers announced an advance of 1c.
last week. Light beef is weaker and lower,
but both pork and lard continue to advance.
Eggs have not been so high at this time of
the season for several years, probably owing
to the fact that the high price of potatoes
and beans has impelled people to eat more
eggs than usual.
LAMOREAUX & JOHNSTON
Will pay 12 cents per dozen
for eggs this week, instead of
li cents, as stated on the first
page. ,

of cigars are putting an
‘linferior brand of: cigars on the market
under a label so closely imitating our ‘Sil-
ver Spots” as to deceive the general public.
At first, we were inclined to feel flattered at
this recognition of the superior merits of
our ‘‘Silver Spots” by a brother manufac-
turer, knowing full well that it is only arti-
cles of standard or sterling worth that are
imitated, but we feel that we should be
derelict in our duty to the public should we
not warn them against this infringemext,
and also to dealers in cigars, as we feel
positive that no first-class dealer would
knowingly countenance or deal’ with any
manufacturer who had to depend upon
other manufacturers to furnish him brains
to originate brands or labels for their cigars.
A counterfeiter is a genius, but amenable
to the law, but a base imitater who keeps
within the law, or just ventures rear
enough to be on debatable ground, is not
worthy of recognition in a community of
worthy or respectable citizens. The ‘‘Sil-
ver Spots” are to-day the best selling five
cent cigar in Michigan. If you don’t be-
lieve it send us a trial order.

Composed of Guatemala, African and
Mexican Javas, Santos, Maracaibo ani Rio
selected with especial reference to their fine
drinking qualities. The most popular brand
of Blended Coffee in the market. Sold only
in 50 Ib. Cans and ! Ib. packages, 30, 60 and 100

prietors.

$11,550 Worth of Real Estate
And personal property to be actually
given away to purchasers of the celebrated
‘Golden-Rod,’ ‘Presto’ and ‘Empress’
Cigars in 1888.
We have sold these goods for the past.
ten years at the uniform price of $55 per
M. for ‘‘Golden-Rod!” $35 per M. for the:
the ‘‘Presto” and $35 for the ‘‘Empress”
cigars, and shall continue to sell
them at that price, thus charging noth-
i 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 fine 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 ordering to a clear title deed of a piece
of real-estate. Either a building lot and
water privilege, at a summer resort, a city
lot in city of Sault Ste Marie, a house and
lot in St. Ignace, 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 144 M. ‘‘Golden
Rod” cigars at $55 per M. or 1 M. ‘Presto?
cigars at $35 per M., or 1 M. ‘‘Empress’”
cigars at $30 per M. An order of double
this amount from one party will be entered
as two orders.
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 serap-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 houses all around.

The house and lot at St. Ignace is in the

The farm is within two miles of Carp.

How Corks are Made.
“‘Cork has to be prepared before it can be
manufactured into bottle corks,” said a
dealer to a reporter for the New York Mail
and Express recently. :
‘*How is this dene 2”
‘The bark which is intended for corks is
kept ina damp place. When taken into the
Shop to be worked it is eut by the first work-
man into strips, the width of which corre-
sponds to the length of the future cork, A
second workman cuts these strips into
Squares suited in size to their diameter.
The squares, strung, are plunged into boil-
ing water to make them swell! out. They
are then stored ina cool place and Kept
constantly moist by sprinkling ul] they pass
into the hands of the cork master. He ap-
plies them in succession, giving them a ro-
tary motion, to the edge of a wide blade
knife, drawing them at the same time
slowly along its length, and by skillful
manipulation transforms the square into a
round cork. This is the French method.
In other countries the workmen handle the
knife in a different manner,”
“‘Are many corks made in this country ?”
‘*Yes, a great many. They are cut bya
machine. Only the best are made by hand.
To obtain a good cork it is essential that its
axis, as it is cut from the bark, be parallel
with the axis of the tree on which the bark
grew, but the broad, flat corks have to be
cut perpendicular to the axis of the tree.
A good workman can make 1,000 corks a
day.”

Cultivation of Indigo.
The cultivation of the indigo plant is an
important feature in Chinese agriculture.
The indigo fera is one of the seed pod
variety of plants, with a stock and leaf not
unlike the fish geranium, but much darker
green. It is hardy, easily cultivated, pro-
lific and not attacked by insects. The
ground is plowed and harrowed into a pul-
verized state and enriched by manure. ‘The
Seeds are sown in patches as thickly as pos-
sible. Inamonth the plants are several
inches high, and are transplanted into a
larger piece of greund in rows, being set
about eighteen inches apart. They require
little care, except to be watered in dry
weather. When the plants have reached 2
hight of two feet, and the leaves have as-
sumed a dark, rich blue color, they are cut
to the ground and gathered for manufactur-
ing. From the roots a second erep will
grow, which may be gathered the same
season. The plants are placed in recep-
taeles and covered with fresh, clear water,
in which they steep for several days, until
the indican, a peculiar substance in the
juice of the plant, is decomposed by fer-
mentation. The addition of a little slacked
lime, and frequent stirring, aids the process.
The indigo is precipitated in a dark blue
sediment, which, when dried, is the indigo
of commerce. The darker the blue the bet-
ter the quality. It is believed that farmers
in this ceuntry could be successful in rais-
ing the indigo plamt.

About Corkscrews.
A writer in Engineering states that one
firm in Newark, N. J., made in one year
no fewer than 150,000,000 corkscrews. Vis-
itors at the American Centennial Exhibition
in Philadelphia, in 1876, will remember
with interest the curious automatie machine
at work making corkserews, which was fed
from a coil of wire mounted upon a reel,
and at the other end of the machine dis-
charged a finished corkscrew in about thirty
seconds. One of these machines would,
working continuously ten hours a day, turn
out 1,200 finished corkscrews per diem, and
estimating the Whole year at 300 days,
could manufacture 360,000 per annum. To
turn out the total quantity mentioned above,
this factory must. possess 416 of these ma-
chines in constant operation. These corke
Screws, we are told, are made in a great
variety of forms on purpose to meet: the

and nations, one of the most peculiar of
them being the left-handed corkscrew, of

handed. barkeeper; and they are now kept

fall of gravity to the business

lising, a considerable “pertion of
itimate dealers might as well be-
individuals who carry ‘on their

id swell their profits by catering chiefly to
gullible side of human nature. -
n dealing with the peddler, two points
view ‘present themselves. In one case,
hi ypeddler travels through country districts,
nich renders him amenable to the State
governing peddling. In the other
ase, he operates in cities and incorporated
rill ees, where there should be ordinances
xeribing on what terms he can victimize
inhabitants thereof. In the former
ase the recent amendments to the general
aw serve to make the statute sufficiently
i sit to ensure conviction in ease pro-
ceedings are instituted, but the main diffi-
culty seems to lie in getting some one to
take the initiatory steps. Until the law is
amended in this particular, it is doubtful
‘whether the State law regulating peddling
“will be effectively enforced.
In the case of cities and villages, how-
ever, the remedy is more simple and more
easily applied. The business men can
_ usually secure the passage of an ordinance
‘covering the ground, and, when once se-
cured, itis comparatively easy to induce
_ the local officers to enforce it. Several
municipalities have among their local laws
-ardinances governing peddling which have
been put to the test and sustained by the
Supreme Court. Among the latter is the
Coldwater ordinance, which was sustained
‘80 fully and completely, that THz TRADES-
MAN has concluded to give place to both
documents. The ordinance is as follows:
AN ORDINANCE
«Relating to Licensing of Hawkers and Ped-
ee dlers and Permitting Sales of Merchan-
dise on the Streets and Sidewalks.
_ $c. 1. No person shall peddle, sell or
._ offer for sale on any sidewalk or in any of
the public parks or public places, streets,
lanes or alleys of the city of Coldwater, any
beef, pork or other meats, except by the
_ @arcass or quarter, nor any patent medicine,
jewelry, wares, merchandise, or other pro-
erty. This section, however, shall not ap-
_ ply to the sale of fruits, vegetables, fire-
- ‘wood, dairy or farm produce, second-hand
_ furniture and utensils, nor to live stock.
Src. 2. No person shall hawk or peddle
any meat, goods, wares, or merchandise,
from door to door within the limits of the
_ city of Coldwater, without a license from
_ the Mayor as herein provided: Provided
that such license shall not be construed to
permit any such person to hawk or peddle
such meat. goods, wares or merchandise on
the streets, lanes, alleys, parks or public
places of said city.
oS 3. The Mayor is hereby authorized
to license any person to engage in the busi-
ness of hawking and peddling from door to
door, as provided in the preceding section,
upon such person paying into the city
treasury the following sum, viz:
For a license to sell meat for one year,
forty dollars.
For a license to sell meat six months, or
for any time less than six months, twenty-
_ five dollars.
For a license to sell any other property
_ provided for in this ordinance, except meat,
_ fifteen dollars for each year, or three dol-
lars for each day for any time less than one
" Sec. 4. Any person who shall violate the
provisions of this ordinance shall be pun-
ished by a fine of not more than fifty dol-
Jars, or by imprisonment in the county jail
not more than thirty days or by both such
' fine and imprisonment.
So far as THE TRADESMAN has been able
to ascertain, this ordinance has been strictly
enforced. About two years after its en-
-actment, a clothes wringer peddler from
‘Sturgis was convicted of doing business
without a license and fined by the court.’
Instead of paying the fine, he appealed the
case to the Supreme Court, his special de-
-fense being that the granting of a patent by
the general government established the
“right of the patentee to sell his device
wherever he desired. The Supreme Court
took a contrary view of the case, sustaining
main features of the ordinance.
The decision. was rendered by Judge
Cooley and concurred in by all the other
bers of the tribunal. The full text of
ion isas follows: -
“An ordinance of the city of Coldwater

- But the ordinance in question does not Fro
to abridge the exclusive rights which the Paeine

The ordinance is a police regulation, made
under the general police authority of the
State, and taking no notice of this or any
other patent, or of the way in which any
salable commodity may have come into ex-
istence. It is one of the custemary regula-

strictions which aresupposed to be important
to the protection of public morals. All
these matters are left to the State law. A
patentee must observe the Sunday law as
much as any other vendor; he must put his
contracts in writing under the same circum-
stances which require writings of others,
and he must obey all other regulations of
police which are made for general observ-
Patterson vs. Kentucky, 97 U.S.,
501. Invidious regulations, applicable to
patentees exclusively, might be void, but
there is no question of that nature here.
We have no doubt that it was competent for
the State to confer upon the city the power
to pass such an ordinance.
That the regulation of hawkers and ped-
dlers is important, if not abzolutely essen-
tial, may be taken as established by the
concurring practice of civilized states.
They are a class of persons who travel
from place to place among strangers, and
the business may easily be made a pretense
or a convenience to those whose real pur-
pose is theft or fraud. The requirement of
a license gives opportunity for inquiry into
antecedents and character, and the pay-
ment of afee affords some evidence that
the business is not a mere pretense.
II. It is urged, however, that the fee de-
manded in this case is unreasonable if reg-
ulation alone was in view, and is in the na-
ture of a tax. The city charter gives power
to “license and regulate” peddlers, but not
to tax them. But we do not think the fee
is excessive, and cannot, therefore, hold the
ordinance invalid on that ground.
