ASPINWALL, Secy CASH CAPITAL, $200,000. A DAY IN TADOUSAC. When the head of the shipping firm of Freyteau, Wall & Co., in Montreal, sent young Noel as their agent along the lower St. Lawrence, the other partners grum- bled loudly. They were shrewd Amer- icans—Noel a mere lad, Canadian-French, gay. crochety, wordy. He had, too, heavy sums to collect, and there was an ugly story afloat that his father had been a professional gambler. Pierre Noel was now old and imbecile, but his son persisted in taking him with him every- where, and paid him an exagerated re- spect. Wall & Co. grew very uneasy about their money. Blood, they said, would tell at last. But M. Freyteau was obstinate in his likings: he would not re; call the lad. All they could do was to send the younger Wall to look him up now and then, and to take a rigid ac- count of his receipts. It never oceurred to Louis Noel that he was suspected. Nothing short of a blow on the face would convince that careless fellow that anybody was his enemy. He made his headquarters at the lonely vil- lage of Tadousae for a reason, and he supposed the same reason brought James Wall there. The two men one August afternoon met inthe orchard of an old pension be- hind the village. The wind was frosty, and Noel brought a bench out from un- der the trees into the open sunshine fora young girl who was with him. James Wall sat down upon it beside her, crossed his stout legs comfortably. drew out the g Quebee paper and looked at the quota- tions in lwmber. Noel walked away. lie could not come near Hester Page to- day. She had dropped a word to him last night. a mere nothing when one re- peated it, yet very different from the cool. amused criticism with which she had met him heretofore. He had re- peated the words a thousand times to | himself to-day. Could it be ?— He could not speak to her before Wall. ery out with this ' He felt as if he must sudden madness of hope that sent the plood through his body like flame. He wandered about irresolutely, climbed a tree for some russet pears for her, and left them lying on the grass, lighted a cigar, smoked furiously and let it go out in his mouth, then began to sing witha tremendous discordant clatter. Mr. Wall shuddered, then laughed, compassionately glancing at Miss Page. They were both admirable musicians, and often sang together with that accuracy and heatness of effeet which peculiarly marked the words and movements of both. “These Canadians are restless in body and mind as. grasshoppers.’? James Wall's thick tones grew complacent and intimate with Miss Page. Were they not both Amerieans? ‘This Noel and all un- fortunate foreigners belonged to a great Ultima Thule outside of the States. She smiled. looked deliberately at Louis, then at Wall. then down at the pale blue web she was netting. What with her delib- eration, the pale blue net, the creamy gown fitting close to her neat rounded fizure. and her lusterless brown hair and eyes, she made a center of calm, of del- icate color, which suited the faded hue of the autumnal day. Mr. Waq] scanned her over his paper, pursing his thick lips with gusto. He had been cal- culating her merits and defects for a long time. but his mind was now made up. True, she had not money eneugh to pay her share of the board bills, nor brilliant beauty to push them on socially in Montreal. But some indefinable latent power in the faint-colored. calm little woman had conquered him. .As much ef the man as was not given up to the lum- ber interest or to worship of James Wall was genuinely in love with her. He was % poor man, greedy of money, yet he meant to marry this penniless Babtist minister's daughter. Why not tell her so at once ? “Noell? he called; -*here, Noel’? (it was just as well to let her know their relative positions, and that this scampish fellow, whose infatuation for her was the talk of the village. was only the paid servant of the firm.) *‘] wish you to finish that report. I start for home to- night. By the way, | will take all your collections with me.’’ Noel did not move. “Diye hear? See to it at once.” cOnnug! ehut! |) No Burpy.) Louis lounged over the low stone wall, looking down the mountain. Below him was the uneven street of Tadousae cut through beetling gray cliffs; the old cottages, perched here and there. each sending out through its steep red or yellow or tinned roof a sleepy drift of smoke. Lights shone through the windows of the little ancient church: the door was open; he could see Grigneaux, the fat beadle climbing into his high seat; then came Father Matthieu up the hill, half a dozen children of the habitans; with their wax- like features and glittering black eyes, tugging at his gown. At the foot of the hill rolled the silent, fathomless tide of the Saguenay — that mystery of the North, black asaline drawn by Death through the live beauty and comfort of the hills and village. Just then the notes of a Freneh horn filled the air witha melancholy sobbing. Louis gave a quick nod of satisfaction. That was his father; he always knew that the old man was happy so long as he was filling the world witk his melodious piping. Some young fellows, his comrades, onthe pier, caught sight of Noel. “Hi! hi! Louis!’ they called. He shouted back. waving his hat to Pere Matthieu, who laughed and nodded. Two Sisters of Merey, pacing decorously in. their black robes to the church, glanced furtively up and smiled to each other. The whole village knew and liked } the merry fellow and the old father of whom he was so fond. The gate clicked. Wall, tired of wait- ing on him, had gone angrily away. “Thanks to God!’ chuckled Noel. He hurried toward Hester, then stopped short inaspasm of shame. Who was he? ‘To goto her to ask her to give her- self to,him? The first man in the world was not fit to touch her! Look at her sitting there, the sun shining full on her! Hier hands went with their work, in and out. in and out. The monotony of mo- tion maddened him. For two years he had followed her, faithful as a dog. It had been almost enough to see her, to hear her speak now andthen. If he told her now that he loved her he would risk all this; she would drive him away. Never to see Hester again? Never? If she married Wall? For a moment he could not get his breath—the world gaped empty about him. Then his blood swelled with sudden triumph. Why, he was nota child; he was aman, and that was the dear woman that he loved! He went to her, leaping over afallen tree, and threw himself breathless onthe grass. Hester, amused, looked down at his sensitive face and burning eyes. “T heard you singing, Monsieur Noel,” she said, after a while. “Oh! Did youlike my voice 2” eagerly. “My father does. I don’t know. He is a great musician. Perhaps—would you like me to sing to you now ?”” “No,’’? Hester smiled. **You—you can talk to me instead,’’ she added, shyly. Noel did not answer. He rose slowly, and leaning against a tree looked stead- ily down into her face. She saw how he trembled, though she did not raise her eyes. The very wind was still. A cricket chirping in the stubble counted off the long minutes; far away swelled and sank the low chanting in the church. Hester's fingers still went in and out of that wearisome net, but they shook now; she could not see her work. It seemed to her as if all had been already said be- tween them. ‘“‘Hester,”? he broke out at last, *‘you must have known it this long time. I suppose it seems mad folly to you. 1 know! Fm | oply Eous Noel. | Pm a headlong, good-for-nothing fellow. But—’ He caught herhand and stroked it passionately in his cold fingers. Hester glanced up at the pension win- dows. She did not forget to be decorous. “No! Don’t speak yet!’ he cried. “Don’t send me away yet! I know the Americans think me flighty—a vaurien. But Lean work! Ican make you such a happy home here in Tadousac. I know you like Tadousac, Oh, I know all your whims and fancies! I'm a weak little fellow: but I love you that I could keep trouble away from you as if [ were a god.’’ Hester looked at him thoughtfully. She had known fora year that each of these two men would ask her to be his wife, and she knew _ precisely what answer she would give them, but she was not going to be hurried out of her orderly course. Louis drew take my love ?”’ His sudden pallor, his relaxed features annoyed her. What was the use, after all. of such wearisome, tragic emotions ? so back. ~“You will not— “J will see you again,” she said, coldly: we are not alone now. Mir. Wall—” Wall steod within the gate. Noel turned and joined him without a word. As the men went out together a branch of woodbine struck against one of their faces. Miss Page, when she was alone, broke it off and shyly put it to her lips with a bright blush. “Bring the reports and money here,” said Wall, when they reached the house. -The money,’ stammered Noel: ‘it is in a sealed package. Is it necessary to count 16277 Noel's) suppressed excitement left Hester had startled Wall. as he He eyed his dazed face now with sudden suspi- cion. “Bring me the money,” he said sharp- Ly. Louis ran up to his chamber. There were steps overhead, then a pause. Ten minutes, half an hour passed. Then the door opened and he stood in it. He looked shrunken when he went out. ~The money is gone, Wall.” he said. The money? Gone? What do vou mean?”’ “The package. I sealed it I locked it in my desk’’— “And it is gone?’ Noel sank on a chair near the door. Wall went up to him. Ile was a power- ful built man, and he towered over Louis who was but a puny young fellow. “Bring me that money!” he said. Noel pushed him away steadily. *“Keep your hands off me. LT musi think—this means more to me than to you.” Wall drew back. ‘There ment’s silence. ‘It means ruin to you. Look atme, Noel. This will not sur- prise the firm. They have long suspect- ed you.

Even if Freyteau will not con- sent to your arrest you will be dis- charged.’ He lowered his voice. **Miss Page will not be likely to marry a penni- less vagabond and a—thief.”’ “What of Miss Page?’ said a clear voice behind him. Louis stood up. Wall turned and faced her, a slow heat of triumph rising in his heavy jaws and half-shut blue eyes. There had been some softening of pity in his tone just now, but now he remembered that this man was his rival and was in his power. James Wall was not the man to delay using that power for one remorseful moment. “Monsieur Noel is in difficulty.’ he said, gravely looking down and rubbing his well-kept nails as though in embar- rassment. ‘His returns to the firm— there is a deficiency of several thousand pounds.”’ : Hester went quickly up to Noel. There was something wholesome and invigor- ating in her decisive step, in the keen common sense lighting her brown eyes. “You can set this right, of course ?”’ she said. “T have not spent the money. in my desk yesterday.” She looked at him a moment, then for the first time in her life laid her hand on his arm. ‘Monsieur Noel, you are not yourself! You have been robbed. Why do you stand here? Why do you not make search; arrest the servants ?” Noel avoided her eye. ‘‘I will not do that,”’? he said. ‘‘They did not take it.” “He does not understand of what you accuse him,’’? she said impatiently to Wall, who laughed contemptuously. “TI do understand. I will search for the money again.”’ He turned to Wall: “The boat will not be in for an hour. Give me that time.” The stupor was shaken off. Something of his usual gusty, awkward vehemence was in his manner as he went out. But when Wall said, *‘He knows he will not bring the money back,’’ Miss Page se- cretly felt that he was right. She took up her netting and seated herself by the window. “We will wait here until the hour is over,’ she said quietly, and Wall recog- nized himself as aprisoner. A stronger will than his had resolved on justice for Noel. Ho could not go out as ‘he had intended to publish the theft in Tadou- sac. “Unfortunately,’’ he said, **suspicion has been directed against this young man for some time. A charming fellow too! A thousand pities !’’ Hester’s fingers steadily went in and It was out of the blue web, but she remained silent. Noel on the upper floor halted at the door of a chamber next to his own. Within the French horn sounded a wail- ing cry. He stood a minute, drew a long breath of gathered strength and went in smiling. M. Noel, seated by the window, rose quickly to meet him, laying down his instrument carefully. He wore a vel- yet jacket, and cap on his long white hair. Noel took as much fond pride in devising picturesque costumes for his father as a woman would for her baby. flis features were sensitive and fine as those of Louis, but the eyes were shal- low and glassy and the was a perpetual deprecating smile on the mouth. “Ts it time for our walk, ny son ?’’ he said, speaking the pure Freneh of the old families of Quebec. Louis, with the smile still on his face, placed achair. ‘We will talk a little first. father.’? Standing behind him, his hands on his shoulders, he glaneed at the clock. Notan hour! Yet if he fright- ened the old man he could discover noth- ing. He talked of indifferent matters, and then said: ‘How did you Sing) “With my musie, Louis. and I stroiled across the mountains.” “With these, also?’’ taking from a drawer a pack of greasy cards. M. Noel started up pale and trembling as a guilty child. They are not mine! They were lent t) me! Lonly play alittle game of sol- itaire.”’ “Why, assuredly ! with yourself, sir? the other ?”” “Why, [ never tried that!’ chuckling, delighted. ‘‘l wager with Jacques when we play. A trifle—bah ?’ “And the money to play with? You hide it as you used to do?) Here— there—where Jacques cannot find it ?”’ M. Noel nodded complacently. ‘*Trust me for that. Nobody will ever find it. Why, there are places among the rocks—” Louis looked out at the vast stretch of mountain ledges over which his father amuse yourself to-day, Do you ever wager One hand against had wandered that day. The clock ticked faster. “Father.” he said coming in front of him. “My son! Who hashurt you?’ The gentle face was full of wild terror. “What have they done to you? You never looked like that in your life, Louis.” “Never mind. It’s all right, father, all right,’’ kneeling down before him and soothing him. He thoughtif he told him the truth surely God would waken some spark of intelligence in the poor dead brain to help him. The hour was nearly over. His strait was desperate. “There was some money in a package in my desk, father. It is gone. Do you| know where it is?” | The tenderness faded out of the blue | eyes. They grew by turns perplexed, vacant, then cunning. *‘Ah, Louis! You want to find out my hiding places to store your money. Va! Va! We old people have our little secrets, eh?’ clucking with his tongue. Noel started up. ‘Oh, for God’s sake! You are my father! Beaman again! Come back this once to save me!’ A shadow of comprehension struggled into the vacant face, like life galvanized into acorpse. Then it died out, **You frighten me.’ he cried; ‘I did not see the money.”’ Louis was no fool. He saw how he could shelter himself by leaving the crime where it undoubtedly belonged. It would probably be condoned as the act of an imbecile. He threw his arms with a shudder around the old man and rev- erently kissed the gray head. “Do not be frightened, father,’ he said, gently; ‘nothing shall harm you.” A moment later Hester, hearing his firm steps without, rose. ‘‘He has the money !’ she said. Wall also rose. “NO.” Noel, all of his life vehement and pas- sionate. stood now quiet and resolute, while Wall swaggered uncertainly. “You know the consequences, Noel? You are accountable. Ican do nothing for you. I shall telegraph the firm from Quebee and return to-morrow.” “The money.’ said Louis, slowly, ‘may be forthcoming by that time.”’ *“You have found it 2’ you,’’ sneered Wall. “If it were not for Freyteau, I would order your arrest af once.”’ He turned irresolutely to Miss Page, bowed, and without speaking left the room, going immediately down to the little steamer which lay at the pier. Hester went up to Louis. “*You do not defend yourself,’’? she said, with a queer choking in her voice. “No.” “You did net even say that you wert not guilty ?’’ Their eyes met. ‘There was a long silence. Noel put his hand up to his mouth uncertainly. ‘“T can say nothing.”’ He turned awa She stood still, her clear eyes follow ing him, her unconscious fingers tearing ' the web she had netted bit by bit. it fell in a heap on the floor. She came to his side with a little rush as Pere Matthieu entered the room. “TJ will speak for you, then,’ sliding her hand into his arm. *‘Ah, Fathet congratulate us! Ihave accepted Mon- sieur Noel. I must announce our trothal. It is our custom in the States.’ The good Father was shocked at her want of decorum. Her cheeks burned, her eyes shone with soft brilliance. “Come, come,’’ she cried. **We may yet be in time to tell the news to our friend James Wall. It will cheer him on his voyage.”’ She almost dragged Louis down to the garden which overlooked the _ pier, on which alittle crowd had gathered. He held her back. “You shall not blast your Why do you do this?” ‘‘Because I love you,”’ she At that instant Wall, stepping from # little bateau onto thé deck of the steamer, looked up.

On the contrary, Louis in an in- stant was his old self, frantic with e citement, shouting, kicking oif his boots. ‘Where are you going?’ she said sharply. “Why, Wall cannot swim,’’ he eriet plunging into the rushing flood. Both men disappeared in the night. The whole village gathered on the pier, crying, swearing, talking at once. Pere Matthieu ordered out boats and went him- self. whick presently brought both men in one ashore. Louis was conscious and stag- gered to his feet. They laid Wall's heavy body under the trees and stood about it with their lanterns, while Pere Matthieu drew off his coat and put his ea to his breast. ‘‘He isalive.’’ hesaid. ‘Carry him’’ But Hester's keen saw what one else did. She swooped down on the prostrate body like a white bird on its eyes re prey. ‘Stop!’ she ened) wildly, araw- ing something from his breast. ‘‘Take witness all of you that I take this from him. It is a package marked ‘Louis Noel. Five thousand pounds.’ Oh, Louis! Louis!’ Noel put his arm around her and led her away. Her passionate love filled him wiih such a new keen joy that he did not fully understand the meaning of what had happened, When he did, he only said humbly: ‘*Then I wronged father. God forgive me! Let us go to him, Hes- ter.”7 He was eager to tell him that the American girl of whom the old man was so fond had promised to stay with them in Tadousae anid his wife. Here surely was heaven opened. When James Wall, clothed and in his right mind, entered the pension an hour or two later, he found the three togethe chattering and laughing. They grew silent as he approached. ‘They tell meI owe you my life, Noel.” he said hoarsely. Louis turned away. be It hurt him to see the man’s humiliation. It did not hurt Hester one whit. © ‘‘Here is the money.”’ she said, sweec- ly smiling, tapping the package. ‘*Mon- sieur Noel will himself transmit it to Montreal.’’ Wall looked into the soft. taunting eyes one breathless moment. ‘‘] did it for you, woman,’’ he said, and turned away. Louis Noel never mentioned Wall's name after that day. But his wife often did, always adding, ““There much eood in that man after all.’’ ReBEeccA HARDING DAVIS. >.> They Took Their Medicine. They were two drummers in different linesand they werechummy. They were traveling the same route. They had a long stretch of unfruitful country to drive over, and they had not taken enough grub with them. So when they reached a little tumble-down hostelry on the road they were hungry. There was nothing in the shape of fresh meat to be had, nox eggs, nor anything except hard bread. Finally one of them said: ‘Haven't you got anythingin the shape of canned meats?”’ was The host had.

A great political contest, eleanly and honorably conducted in the main, has,been brought to a decisive end.

Stowe, Grand Rapids: { at rates the same for all Dear Sin—Scotts and Climax B. M. A. is wait- ing anxiously for the result of the insurance project and we believe we stand ready to a man to endorse the plan of the Committee. However, permit us to ask a few questions upon points not quite clear to us, Viz.: “4. If we buy one or more shares at #25 each, does this entitle us to a policy of insurance?’ | 2. Do you propose to make assessments after this from time to time, as losses occur, and would your Committee fix a date for payment of assessment in each month, viz,: assessment to be made on or before the 5th of any month and the amount to be paid on or before the 25th of the month? If not paid, would policy holders be suspended from benetits until paid and be rein- stated’ If we are correct in the foregoing, then the shares purchased would be all the immediate expense until a loss called out more. 3. Many merchants now hold policies of in- surance hot expiring for four, six or nine months yet. Would it not be to their advantage to have the policy conceled and receive the two-third pro rata rebate. i 4, What per cent. of valuation do you propose to insure and how wil! this information be ac- curately obtained—h; printed application to gen- eral agent or by ageitt appointed by local associa- tions to look after risks? The above questions may be fully explained in the report, but we do not find them, and an an- swer will greatly accommodate our B. M.A, Yours truly, J. ©. CLARK, Sec'y. On receipt of the above letter, it was forward- ed to Chairman Caldwell, of the Insurance Com- mittee of the M. B. M. A.. who replied to the en- quiries as follows: The inquiries of J. F. Clark on the insurance question received. I will take time to answer the questions for the general good: R garding the anxiety of any B. M. A. over the slow pro- gress of this insurance project, let me say that your anxiety does not exceed that of your Insur- nee Committee. We are busily working and studying the question and have thought the de- lay would, perhaps, prove beneficial in sTOVOR- ing discussion that we might all profit by. So the inquiries of Mr. Clark, of the Scotts and Cli- max B. M. A., are just what we want. The re- commendation is now in the hands of the Exec- utive Board, which has delayed holding a meet- ing, first, because of an overflow of polities and, later, because of the adjournment of the Insur- ance Policy Commission appointed by the Gov ernor to consider the question of a standard form of fire insurance policy. Let no association feel alarmed at the delay, for the commercial impor- tance of this question is enough to keep it alive and the possibility of the retailers, and whole- ] well, in Michigan saving one-half of ynow pay for insurance is incentive the hands of the B. M. A., then from at Fr SOUTCE. The question of mutual stock insurance being theoreti¢ itirely is long ago settled. Manu- facture i wholesalers and jobbers of the Eastern states and large cities West refuse, so fur as they can, policies in our stock companies, but point with pride to their own insurance or- ganizations and what they are saving for them- selves. If the M. B. M. A. can save its members and the great body of merchants and business nen one-quarter or one-half of what they now pay for insurance, is it not worth our effort to help complete our proposed organization? As recommended by the Insurance Committee, the proposed insurance company will furnish as good insurance as the Detroit Fire and Marine, the Michigan Fire and Marine or the Grand Rap- ids Fire Insurance Co. It will be organized with a paid-up capital of $100,000, and conducted un- der the same law. We will conduct our business on very much the same plan, issuing policies at present underwriters’ rates on stores and stocks for one year and on dwellings for three years, collecting the premium on the delivery of the poliey. So far, we are the same. We differ from theminthat our policy holders must be stock holders—that is, must own at least one share of stock, $25, and as much more as they desire for aninvestment. Dividends are to be declared, both upon the stock and upon the insurance written, at a certain rate per thousand out of the net earnings. If, therefore, you are a large in- surer and hold a large amount of stock, your savings or dividends are just that much greater, but any stock holder owning but one share of stock Can take as many policies as the Company will write fer him on his different property and members. We differ al- so from stock fire insurance at present in that we take signed applications from each insured for insurance, solicited by the secretary or agent of the Company, who accepts the risk from the time the application is dated, to take effect and according to the statements the assured made therein. These are filed in the office of the sec- retary, together with a statement of the agent or inspector, and are the facts considered in settle- ment in case of loss, While the local agent may misrepresent the information sent in through his daily report, Which oftimes proves disastrous to both company and policy holders, in our case the policy holder files his own report, guarded by that of the inspector. Again, while our present stock companies are paying theirlocal agents 15 to 25 per «ent. com inission and maintaining a local agency ex- pense of 35 to 45 per cent., We propose toissue our i policies directly from the home office and have frequent inspections from the Secretary or local rents whieh are now required by stock com- panies and save our policy holders what is now collected of youin premiums for this expense. What printing and publishing the Company did would be to advyanee ideas and methods to re- duce fires and do you some good, rather than burden the people with a great deal of printed ynatter generally consigned to the fire-place or waste paper basket. By this outline, I have hoped to answer Mr Clark's two first questions and perhaps make Regard- plainer the plan of insurance proposed, ing the third and fourth questions, I will say: It is not our expectation that merchants or others will cancel insurance already purchased and paid for and accept a return premium at short rates, just to join our Company.

The xtate body, being entirely out of debt, is not in need of funds to meet past expenses in- curred, but, unless the resources of the Associa- tion are largely augmented, several important projects now in contemplation will have to be abandoned. Especially is this the case with the Insurance project, which is one of the most im- portant subjects ever taken in hand by Michigan business men. Many new associations are enter- ing the field, and it is earnestly to be hoped that no old organization will falter by the wayside. Please remember that your connection with the M. B. M.

Business Men Abandoning Individual and Partnership Methods. From the Chicago News. A striking feature of Chicago business life is the large and increasing number of houses which do business in incorporated form. This is not peculiar to any busi- ness or class of business; it extends to all alike, and to acertain extent has involv- ed the field of the professional man. In many cities, especially in the East, the business corporation is formed almost wholly for manufacturing enterprises; in Chieago it is used in commercial pur- suits of every description as well. There, the rail mill and the watch factory are -arried on by the ‘company’? and the grocery and dry goods house by the indi- vidual or the firm. Here the corporation is in use for every species of business, re- tail or wholesale. It manufactures cigars and passes them over the showcase at a nickel a-piece. It measures off cloth by the yard, sells molasses by the quart, cuts and fits you anew suit, sells the trim- mings for a new winter bonnet, fits you with a pairof congress gaiters, and wraps up a bottle of American-French wine. The business corporation is ubiquitous in Chieago. It is found in every block. It is so numerous in some of the business sections—East Kinzie street, for instance —that the few firms and individual hous- es look lonely and desolate beside it, like the survivors of a bygone age. When you come to dissect one of those business corporations you find out that it ordinarily consists of three or four men, three being the smal!est number permit- ted by law, and usuaily one man or two holds the bulk of the shares, does all the business, and makes and un-makes direc- tors and presidents, vice-presidents, treasurers and other corporation digni- taries, at will, the other stockholders be- ing clerks or men of straw, or sometimes the wives of principal stockholders put thore for the sake of technically comply- ing with the statute. ‘Twenty-seven bulky volumes in the Recerder’s office are not sufficient to hold the charters of the corporations organized in Chicago since the fire, and the work of forming new ones goes on rapidly asever. Hardly a day passes but some individual or firm gives up the old form of doing business and dons the uniform of the *‘stock com- pany,’’ amoung the recent instances being the liquor firm of Hannah & Hogg and the shoe manufacturing firm of Phelps, Dodge & Palmer. And it is a fact worth noting that few houses which have once assumed corporate form go back to the individual or partnership way of doing business and very many have their capital stock—usually, always, a sign of prosperity. The chief inducement to form business corporations is, of course, the limited lia- bility. The shareholders’ subscriptions, once having been paid, that is the end of it: be the creditors never numerous, and hungry as Russian wolves, they can- not go beyond that point. There is no such thing as seizing the home of one stockholder because of the finaneial ec- centricities of another, as in the case of a partnership, and, if the investor has been judicious enough to subscribe for no more stock than he ean readily pay for, he can sleep quietly through the heaviest kind of 2 financial storm. The corporation may be wrecked, but what need he care? His stock may be lost, but that need not affect his individuai credit in the slight- est degree. Then the [llinois laws relat- ing to business eorporations are very lib- eral—almost to looseness—and in this re- speet are in striking contrast with the stringent requirements of some of the older states, especially those where capi- tal seeking investment is very abundant. For instance, in many other states a certain percentage of the par value of the stock subscriptions must be actually paid up before the charter can be issued. In Illinois, nothing of the sort is required. The stock subscriptions are made paya- ble ‘tin such installments and at such time or times as shall be determined by the directors or managers,’’ and if the “directors or managers’? are accommo- dating there is nothing to prevent a cor- poration, with a capital stock of $20,000,- 000, from opening its office and enter- ing upon a career of usefulness without having $20 actually paid in or 20 cents to its oredit in bank. Of ecurse, business men could not be taken in to any great extent by such a scheme. ‘The commer- cial agencies would protect them; but there are thousands of people not accus- tomed to business life who might be in- dueed to give it credit or intrust their in- terests to its care, only to find, when it was too late, that the corporation had not even the shadowy substance of a dream. though not SO llow strange this looks in comparison with the Georgia law, where the consti- tution prohibits the creation of corpora- tions for other than railway, telegraph, eanal, banking and insurance purposes; and with Delaware, where a two-thirds vote of both houses of the Legislature is necessary for the creation of any new class of corporations besides the few now authorized by law; and with Rhode Island, where a bill to create any new species of corporations must run the gauntlet of two legislatures and be pub- lished in the ineantime. Other states, taking alarm at the growth of such monopolies as the Reading rail- way and the anthracite coal combinations, require their corporations to confine themselyes to some single business and prohibit them from engaging in any oth- er business. Thus, for instance, no new railway company in Pennsylvania can get a charter that will permit it to mine coal, or make steel rails, or build locomo- tives. And, with the same objectin view, one corporation is forbidden to invest in the shares of another, lest, by holding a majority of the stock, if might control the other. . IWinois has no such fears; business corporations can be formed here for ‘‘any lawful purpose.”” They may hold stock in other corporations as much as they choose. They may engage in as many and as different businesses as they see fit. They may combine and consolidate at their own sweet will, and, in fact, one corporation—a mining company—has been formed in Chicago for the purpose of holding the stock of and controlling other corporations. Another remarkable thing about the Illinois law is that a bus- iness corporation may be formed without anything in its corporate name to give notice to those dealing with it that itisa corporation. ‘John Smith & Co.’’ the increased |. sign reads over the door and in the letter heads; you cannot tell from the name whether it is an individual doing an indi- vidual business, a partnership with un- limited resources or a corporation where the liability of the millionaire John Smith, whom you see busily engaged giv- ing orders to the clerks, is limited to the balance due on his subseription to a thousand dollars’ worth of stock. Most of the Eastern states, which have grown wise with experience and hard knocks, require their corporations to show their colors, so to speak—to adopt a name, for instance, beginning with “he” and ending with ‘‘company,”’ or to add, after the name, the word “‘incorporated.”’ There is no such requirement in Illinois, and as a consequence a number of cor- porations are doing business in Chicago under partnership names. In most in- stances, the partnership name has been retained for perfectly legitimate purpos- es, and in many eases the corporate form is indicated in the city directory by the naine of the president and secretary fel- lowing the firm name, but the corpora- tion isnot bound to do that, and it is easily possible for men who are worth $1,000,060 each to do business in Chicago under a partnership name and apparent- ly as partners, and yet with a liability limited to the unpaid balance on a small stock subscription, and there is absolute- ly no means by which the real facts as to the liability can be found out when the parties are unwilling to disclose them. The inquirer may resort to the Record- er’s books and, by a search through twenty-seven volumes—to which there is no general index—find who the original subscribers to the stock were, but they may all be irresponsible or they may have assigned their shares before paying for them in full, and the law ‘which re- quires the recording of such assignment is practically a dead letter—not one out of a hundred is recorded in Chicago—and no index 1S kept of the few which are recorded. But the faults of the business-corpora- tion statutes of this State are more than made up by its good features, and among them especially the admirable provision evil ¥ which makes the officers and directors separate personally lideble when they permit the indebtedness of the ‘company to exceed its capital stock. True, they can) be reached only ty a troublesome equity pro- ceeding, but the fact that they can be reached goes far to make them careful. Another admirable provision is that which prevents the stockholder from es- caping Hability for the unpaid balance of his subscription by assigning his shares, and makes the assignee equally liable with him.

The Heavy Tariff on Plate Tin and Its Relation to the Price of the Ware. From the Chicago News. “It is undoubtedly true,”’ said a prom- inent tin manufacturer, ‘‘that were the tariff on plate tin removed tinware could noi be produced in this country at a much lower cost than now; but whether the public would be benefited proportion- ately is a question. Why the war tariff on this metal was not removed, years ago {cannot see. We have no tin-mining in- dustry to protect and the manufacture of plate tin here has proved a signal failure. We have imported lump tin and black sheets all ready for tinning, and even secured competent workmen of long ex- perience in this form of manufacture, but our experiments have simply shown us our incompetency in this direction. We ean retin a plate by dipping it in boiling tallow and then in molten tin, but that is all we ean accomplish. Hence, as L look at it, the tin tariff is a needless burden.”* “Why are you doubtful as to the pub- lic being benefitted by the removal of the tarii 27’ “Manufacturers would be compelled could they get plate tin for $20 a ton iess—the tariff is one cent a pound—to put down prices unless a trust were formed. Competition among jobbers and wholesalers would also prevent them from profiting by the tariff reform. But { apprehend that retailers throughout the country would stick to the old prices and gobble up the difference that should ac- crue to the consumers. The only excep- tion to this rule would be in the large cities where the cheap stores run each other and eut prices often below cost. Even in the cost of manufacture the cheapening of the material by tariff re- form would affect different branches of the tin trade differently. Stamped goods eut out with a die—together with a finger oceasionally from the operators hand— and pressed in form with practically no skilled labor. would naturally be most cheapened in the final retail price. Ordi- nary pierced goods, in the making of which hand soldering plays a large part, would com? next. Japanned and highly ornamented ware. which we make a specialty, would be least affected. In these goods, you understand, the ultimate cost lies largely in the hand labor that is employed in their manufacture. “Expensive caddies, boxes, and the like, for instance, are usually inexpen- sively made ware. When the first coat of lacquer paint is applied the work is often only begun. Girl labor isemployed in decorating as much as possible so as to lessen expense, and stencils, one for each color in the design, lessen the cost still further; but for the more artistic work skilled labor is needed. ‘So, you see, if plate tin were reduced $20 per ton the reduction in price to the purchaser of this decorated ware would be almost un- appreciable. “Competition between tin manufac- turers, and also between the tinware in- dustry and other lines of manufacture which cover approximately the same ground, is so great that every possible means must be employed to lessen the eo:t of production. In the better manu- factories this is effected chiefly by su- perior maehinery, rarely by a reduction of wages. Our piece-workers get to-day the same rates that they received six vears ago, though in some departments we employ relatively fewer hands. In decorated and japanned work lithography is being more and more employed to les- sen the amount of hand labor needed, and at the same time to put on the mar- ket an article attractive and artistic enough to compete favorably with the ware of more expensive make. By tak- ing the lacquered plates before they are quite dry works of art can be printed on them as fast almost as printing presses turn off newspapers, and the gradual minimizing of hand labor, together with the increased power of production, has brought japanned and decorated tinware to prices that.vould have been deemed ruinous a few years ago.”’ ‘Is not the fancy covering a cloak for a good deal of poor tin?’ ‘Oh, possmly. But an article for a special purpose requires a given weight of material, and since it all t be covered with a paint that is fixed as firm- ly as intense heat can fix it the quality of the tin plate doesn’t matter so much. One practice is common with all tin mmanufacturers: The stamped portions of an article are always of a better grade of plate tin than the other parts. A 15-cent pail is made of cheaper material than its stamped cover, and the same practice is tollowed inall the higher branches of tin manufacture. This, however, is not fraud. The constitution of the plate tin necessitates a higher grade of goods for the stamped portions than the quality of the article would warrant could any other grade of tin be used.”’ is = eS 2. rm The Tropical Frult Trade. The New Orleans Picayune refers to the vast strides made by that city during recent years in building upa profitable business in fruit. The fruit is brought from Central America and islands to the south by a large fleet of both steam and sailing vessels, and is distributed from New Orleans toall parts of the south and west. The railroads have worked in harmony with the importers in building up this trade, and it is not uncommon to see an entire train load of bananas leave New Orleans at one time. Savannah, Mobile and Pensacola are ali reaching out to gain a share of this profitable busi- ness, and hope to offset their present lack of handling facilities by cheap port charges and lower cost of labor.

LEISURE HOUR JOTTINGS. Written for THE TRADESMAN. BX A COUNTRY MERCHANT. Dunning, to the most of us, is one of the most unpleasant features of business, and from its unpleasantness is a feature which is usually seriously neglected. No wnatter how methodical a man’s habits may be, no matter how often and care- fully he serutinizes every other detail of his ‘avocation or profession, the chances are that in nine cases out of ten he is unreasonably timid or careless in insist- ing upon reasonably prompt collections This ought not to be so, There can be no ar shadow of a reason, that reflect in the remotest degree upon the manhood of the individual who temperately and courteously insists upon his honest dues, yet nine out of ten people who start out on a dunning crusade proceed to the unpleas- ant duty with many misgivings and a latent feeling of apprehension that he is about to make enmity between himself and his debtors, and that it would have been perhaps better, and more satisfac- tory in the end, to have waited a little longer for a voluntary adjustment of matters, which had already passed the verge of decency and common sense. And. if nine men out of ten have a for dunning, about the or settlements. but it sument, or the is 50. furnished, will * x * strong dislike same proportion of debtors, whose _ in- debitedness is unsecured, have a strong objection to adjusting affairs without be- ing dunned. Some of them—I am speak- ing only about the responsible ones will settle at. or shortly after, a gentle intimation that a little additional money A majority is needed in your business. will make promises, which they will su- pereede with other promises, and proba- bly pay you just about the time your tem- per and patience are exhausted. The small balance will await with compla- cency the coming of the constable, and balance up at various periods from ‘return day’? to the end of an_ execu- tion. And it’s a curious feature of these cus- tomers that those whose accounts have ‘run’? the most unreasonably, are the ones whose dignity is assailed the most seriously by the dunning process. If you notice that John Smith's matter has grown a than he promised it should, and you quietly re- mind him of the fact, it is very likely that he will accept the hint good natured-4 John’s week or two older iy, but if you e¢arelessly let account runsix months or a year, after making the discovery, you needn't be surprised if all the gall and bile in his system is stirred up by a courteous re- quest for a settlement. It is almost un- explainable, but it is true, that the worst enemies I ever made during a somewhat lengthy business experience. were those who. although responsible, 1 allowed to remain in my debt an exceptionally un- reasonable length of time. And this ex- perience long ago convinced me that the man who does any kind of a credit busi- ness will find his troubles and anxieties inaterially lessened, by watching his ac- eounts earefully, and insisting upon his customers keeping their promises fairly well, 1 call tomind as an evidence of the truth of this a little commonplace inci- trade. dent of my own Some years ago a wealthy farmer, and occasional cus- of mine, came in and requested credit on a good-sized tomer bill of what we “eash fo00dS.’’ term Il explained to him if was unusual to trust out the that articles; that in order to barely realize a safe cost price we had to pay **spot cash” for them, and that the party who took them away for *‘spot cash’? wasn’t help- ing me a particle, financially. I suggest- ed, however, as an accommodation, and an especial favor that he might have the goods on prompt thirty days’ time. He agreed to pay on or before the day speci- fied, and carried off the articles. Through some oversight this aecount was over- looked, and over a year after it was due, in looking over the ledger I was aston- ished to find it unbalanced. The cireum- stances of the case occurred to me at once, and I was naturally a little out of temper, but I drew off a simple statement of account, with a request for speedy payment and dropped it in the mail. ‘Two or three weeks elapsed and nothing was heard from the delinquent, and then I sent him a pretty sharp dunning letter, calling attention to the injustice of his action, and hinting at law proceedings. In a few days he came in and remarked: ‘‘See here, don’t you think I’m good for that $50 | You. do! Weil, then, why’n thunder do you keep bother- ing me with dunning letters? I can’t pay you ’till after harvest,’’ (six months) ‘‘and you won’t get your money any quicker if you send a dun every week.”’ { argued against his unreasonableness in the transaction, but finally told him to put the account into a note, and I would give him further time. This he refused to do, until I started after a summons. Then he flatly objected to giving 10 per cent. interest, notwithstanding I ex- plained that he was paying me less than owe you? 4 per cent. for the whole time, and it re- quired another start for the Justice’s office to complete the settlement. And although this man had a reputation for paying promptly, if his accounts were attended to at maturity, I could have sustained a dozen actions against him, for malicious slander, after an attorney had collected his note. and charged me 10 per cent. therefor. * * % * % 9 * The duty of trying io collect an ae- count of Deacon Y is an amusing as well as an exasperating one. He has some thousands out continually, on se- cured notes and mortgages, but he always makes it a point to keep in debt for his living expenses on an average of a year on the amount it cosis him. It usually takes from six to eight assaults to secure what he owes you. The first mild attack produces a great display of indignation, and the promise of immediate payment and the withdrawal of his custom. Dur- ing the successive attempts his assumed anger is gradually succeeded by an apol- ogetic demeanor, which becomes almost humble. Then his dignity begins to ger- minate slowly, until, when he finds the attack can no longer be repulsed, he as- sumes the attitude of -an honorable, prompt-paying, and in all respects, re- putable eitizen, who has had his self respect and personal honor assailed in an unreasonable and inexcusable manner. But the Deacon on one occasion met a dun that he didn’t try to resist in his usual manner. While en route to the city, one day, on business matters, a handsomely dressed woman entered his ear, and, after politely asking permis- sion, took a seat beside him. She was very reserved and unsociable for a time, but gradually she and the Deacon drifted into conversation. and—but it’s the same old story that all of us have heard or read almost countless times. ‘The woman was a ‘professional’; the Deacon was un- seasoned, credulous and susceptible, and the usual capture was made. The victim was conducted by the charming, but ‘“ajJas, friendless widow.’’ to a suburban hotel. The Deacon's money began to evaporate, and his economical instincts became aroused. and, after a couple of days he made preparations for vanishing, and just at this time the clerk presented the hotel bill. It read: “John Jones. T—— Hotel. Dr., self tnd waite, 2 days, SS. Wite: 12 weeks, $96. Total, $104.00." “Why! gasped Y——. **What’s that $96 for?”’ ‘For your wife’s board!’ “My wife’s board? My boarded here!’ “Didm’t vou register as John Jones and wife?’7 “Y—e—s 1" “Well, your wife has been boarding here nearly all summer, and hasn't paid for twelve weeks. If you're John Jones, and the woman’s your wife. [ want the money. If you're nwt John Jones, and the woman isn’t your wife. ll] make things lurid for you, my friend.”’ The Deacon reviewed the situation rapidly. Publicity—if the hotel man meant ‘business’’—would occasion sun- dry church, social and family disruptions that he har’ly dared to contemplate. He wife never or so, in order that he may draw interest’ reluctantly°determined to hush up the matter, but pleaded a shortage of money, and endeavored to obtain a liberal dis- count. But the clerk was perfectly in- exorable; the bill was finally paid in full. and Y sneaked out of the house. a poorer, but, let us hope, a wiser man. TIME TABLES. Grand Rapids & Indiana. GOING NORTH.

The Pharmaceutical Gladuate. At midnight, in his darkened store, The clerk was dreaming of the hour When Ph. G., with all its lore, _ To his fair name should add its power. His dream was bright. a smile he bore, As nearer to the goal he drew, And fancy, winged with gay galore, Passed all examinations through. ‘The thesis, too (that thing of pain), Was treated in a blithesome mood, And e’en the trustees tried in vain His soaring spirit to preclude. And to his mind each task was passed, His invitations all dispatched, And graduation night, at last, Had seen his counted chickens hatched. Bright morning came, the clerk awoke To goabout his business: A letter came, its seal he broke— What means this sudden dizziness? Unfeeling card! Oh, cruel fate! ‘Tis hard to speak about him, For we, the class of °88, ' Must graduate without him. So, classmates kind, this boon I ask: Pray drop a silent tear For him who undertook the task. But failed to pass, this year. Some of the Trials of Drug Clerks. ‘‘} wonder why it is that people in juest of information always go to a drug store,’’ said a druggist’s clerk the other day to a reporter. ‘‘A grocer or a butcher is usually much better acquainted with the neighborhood and its affairs. He knows all his customers by name and where they live. Wede not employ de- livery wagons to send out goods, and therefore don’t trouble ourselves about the addresses of customers. Yet nine times out of ten if a stranger appears in the neighborhood and wants to find out where a certain person lives, the first place he will stop to make inquiries will be at the drug store. Of course we can help him out if the name is in the direc- tory—we keep a directory for the accom- modation of strangers rather than our- selves—but otherwise we direct him to the grocer. ‘The amount of time we spend in an- swering questions is, I venture to say, four times as great as that devoted to the same purpose by people in other lines of business. And such questions!

Grand Rapids, Mich. on a The Michigan Tradesman BUSINESS LAW. Brief Digests of Recent Decisions in Courts of Last Resort. POLICE POWER—IMITATION BUTTER. The Supreme Court of New Hamp- shire has lately, in the case of The State vs. Marshall, sustained as a valid exer- cise of the police power of the State a statute prohibiting the sale of imitation butter unless colored pink. INSURANCE—WEARING APPAREL. in a case recently decided by the Su- preme Court of Kentucky, that Court held that the insured could only recover the value of property belonging to him- self or his family, and that he could not recover under the head of ‘‘wearing apparel’ for the wearing apparel of his hired housekeeper and her children, INSOLVENT—FRAUD—DISCLOSURE. Upon the examination of an insolvent debtor, under the Minnesota statutes, to determine whether creditors alleging fraudulent concealment of property shall be allowed to share in the in- solvent estate without filing releases, a dishonest disclosure by the debtor may justify a conclusion of fraud, although there is not direct evidence of it, according to the decision of the Su- preme Court of Minnesota in the case of Rees vs. Lowenstein. INSURANCE — DEBT — WIFE'S CREDITORS. A fund set apart by a co-operative in- surance company to pay the policy ona member’s life may be attached by cred- itors of his wife for the payment of her personal debts, according to the decision of Judge Vance, of the Supreme Court of New York, in the case of Commercial Travelers’ Association of New York vs. Newkirk et al. The judge held that the creditors were entitled to the payment of their claims, and the widow should re- ceive the balance. INSURANCE POLICY—CONDITION--WAIVER. An tmsurance policy, which was in- volved inacase lately decided by the Supreme Court of Vermont contained a stipulation to the effect that no officer, agent or representative of the company should be held to have waived any of its vonditions unless such waiver was in- dorsed on the poliey. The court held, Smith Niagara Fire Insurance Co., hat under this stipulation an adjuster ould not orally waive a condition of re- juiring the insured within thirty days after a loss to furnish the company a statement thereof signed and sworn to. DISCRIMINATION IN RATES — QUANTITY. The United Siates Circuit for the Dis- trict of Pennsylvania has just rendered an important decision respecting rate dis- crimination in the matter of the petition ef Confer vs. Gardner, receiver. The plaintiff complained that the defendant, the receiver of the Buffalo, New York & Philadelphia Railroad Company, had made undue and unreasonable discrim- ination between himself and other per- sons in freight charges for the transport- ation of oil, and sued to recover the amount of the alleged unlawful exaction. The defendant admitted the exaction of this sum, and also that a less rate was charged to another shipper of oil on the railroad. This charge was justified by the defendant on the ground that the quantity shipped by other shippers was much larger than that shipped by the petitioner, and that the larger propor- tionate expense attending the handling and transportation of the smaller ship- ment warranted a higher rate than was charged for the larger shipment. This eonclusion was sustained by the master, but the court ruled otherwise. Itsaid: “In this conclusion we do not agree with the learned master. It does not differ- entiate the service performed for the sev- eral shippers, nor do the conditions or circumstances under whica it was per- formed. The only difference is that in one ease the quantity shipped was larger and in the other it was smaller. This has repeatedly been held to be unwar- rantable reason for discriminating rates of charges. In thestatement of the law by Judge Baxter we concur, and for this reason we cannot find that the petition ought to be dismissed.’? The court di- rected a decree for the petitioner for the amount claimed. —__->a—_—__ Opie Read Didn’t Write This. *‘Can you tell me the way to Jasper?’ The speaker was a Birmingham real es- tate agent, who was over in Walker coun- ty prospecting last week, and the query was addressed to a tall countryman, who was leaning against the rail fence which surrounded his cabin. ‘Which er way you’uns want er ¥S. £0, down by ther ole mill place or up ther ridge road?
