LORILLARD’S LUCRE.

 

Overflowing Coffers of the Millionaire
Sportsman.

Probably no name is better known
throughout this country and Europe than
that of Pierre Lorillard. He has for so many
years been so closely identified with the
manufacturing interests of New York City
that in the business world his name has
been a synonym for activity and strength,
and in the sporting world he has met every-
body of prominence from the Prince of
Wales down to the latest jockey with his
first mount.

The old house of Peter and George Loril-
lard, which was established in 1760 at Cham-
bers and Chatham streets, is presided over
at the present time by Pierre, the son and
nephew of the original founders. On the
death of Pierre’s father who survived his
brother George, the business was bequeathed
to Peter’s sons, Pierre, George, Louis and
Jacob, but in the settlement of the estate,
Pierre absorbed the interest of his brothers,
and is now the sole representative of that en-
ormous business interest.

Mr. Lorillard was born fifty-two years ago
inthe old family mansion near Bowling
Green, but spent his early youth in the mag-
nificent residence erected by his father at
the north-west corner of Tenth street and
Broadway. At the time this house was built
it was regarded as one of the handsomest
private residences in the metropolis. It was
here that the sons and daughters of old Peter
grew up amid princely hospitality, magnifi-
cent balls and dinners, and it was here that
they met theirlife partners. Pierre married
a daughter of the well known Dr. Taylor,
and notwithstanding the fact that she is now
a grandmother, she retains distinct traces of
her early marvelous beauty, and when she
occupies the box seat on her husband’s four-
in-hand on the Coaching Club’s parade she
is as brilliant and dashing as the celebrated
beauty, Miss Marion Langdon.

Shortly after Pierre’s marriage with Miss
Taylor he built a handsome mansion at Fifth
avenue and Thirty-sixth street, and the
wealth displayed in its appointments and the
marvelous culture and taste shown in its en-
semble remind one of the fairy tales in the
“Arabian Nights.” On grand occasions the
drawing-room, dining parlor, and conserva-
tories, which are on the main fieor, are
thrown into one, making one of the grandest
private ball rooms in the city.

“Mr. Lorillard’s first interest in the sport-
ing world was in yachting, and in this con-
nection he became prominent as the owner
of the Vesta, one of the three competitors in
the famous ocean yacht race from Sandy
Hook to Cowes, in which the stakes "were
$30,@00, apart from the private wagers,
which aggregated in the neighborhood of a
million. It will be remembered that the
contest was won by Mr. James Gordon Ben-
nett’s Henrietta. Although the three yachts
were not in sight of each other after one day
out from the Sandy Hook Lightship they
reached Queenstown within three hours of
each other. Mr. Osgood’s Fleetwing and
Mr. Lorillard’s Vesta went racing into Cowes
Harber wndera full spread of canvas for
what proved to be second place neither of
them knowing that the , Henrietta had al-
ready arrived.

Later on Mr. Lorillard’s fondness for
sports led him to become a patron of the
turf, and the victories of the cherry and
black are well known on both sides of the
Atlantic. With the exception of Richard
Ten Broeck, of Kentucky, Mr. Lorillard was
the first te try conclusions with American
bred horses with those of the famous racers
of England, and his success with Parole
spurred him on. When he won the Blue
Ribbon of the Derby with Iroquois he was
looked upon as a hero, and when
his colors were seen at the front in other im-
portant events, he was lionized at all the up-
town clubs. It has been said that he was
induced to withdraw his horses from Eng-
land upon the ground of the; unfairness of
the handicapping, as promulgated in a
spirit of jealousy by the leading sporting
clubs of England. On this subject Mr. Lor-
illard has always been reticent, and what-
ever the truth may be, he has, with true
sportsman etiquette, never allowed a com-
plaint to pass his lips.

Mr. Lorillard owns a fine breeding farm
at Rancocas, N. J., where there are prob-
ably many future kings of the turf, and he
also possesses some of {the most valuable
short-horned cattle in the world. He holds
an annual sale to dispose of his yearlings,
and was recently quoted as saying that he
took greater pleasure in breeding racers than
inracing them. He is, however, represent-
ed in all the important events and has had a
fair measure of success during the current
year.

Owing to a disagreement with the manag-
ers of the Saratoga track, neither Mr. Lor-
illard nor his brother race their horses over
that course, their field of operations being

* confined to Monmouth and Jerome Parks,

the Sheepshead bay track, and that in Balti-
more. Mr. Lorillard backs his turf opinions
very freely, and has been known to win
$100,000 ina day. His house in Newport
at Ochre Point is one of the more recently
constructed, and commands, probably, the
finest view of the ocean at that fashionable
resort. It is built in Queen Anne style, an

is capable of entertaining thirty guests at a
time. For this palatial home Mr. Lorillard
paid $500,000. His famous steam yacht,
the Rhoda, is constantly at the command of
his guests, and represents an additional ex-
penditure to him of $50,000 a year.

Mr. Lorillard isa prominent club man,
being a member of the Union, Knickerbock-
er, New York Yacht, American J ockey,
Coaching, and several others. In_ politics
he sympathizes with the Republican party.
At his different factories in New York and
New Jersey he gives employment to up-
ward of four thousand hands. ‘They are
treated with uniform liberality, and at
Christmastide they are substantially remem-
bered.

Mr. Lorillard’s possessions are estimated
at $15,000,000 to $20,000,000, and of the
millionaires in New York City he is proba-
bly the most lavish in his annual expendi-
tures, they being in the neighborhood of
$500,000.

Short Method of Computing Interest.

Some fifteen years ago the book-keeper of
the second or third largest dry goods house
in New York, says the Northwestern Gro-
cer, astonished and offended thebook-keeper
of another great house by saying to him that
there were mistakes in a_ bill which he had
just put into his hands, and that he had
better take it back to his counting-room and
correct them than to compel him to point
them out. Accountant No. 1 had spent but
five minutes—pencil in hand—making fig-
ures on the interest added tu some charges
in the bill, before he returned the bill with
the remark above made. Accountant No. 2,
confident that his bills were correct, and if
not, no one could, in so brief a period, de-
tect an error, took up his bills and returned
to his office, and reported to his principal
how highly he had been insulted. ‘Why,’
said he, “I spent many hours over those
bills and feel confident that they are correct,
and yet No. 1 glanced at them less than five
minutes and then advised me to take them
back and make corrections which I might
discover without his pointing them out.”
His chief sympathized with his book-keep-
er, and reported to the head of house No. 1,
who called upon his chief book-keeper for
an explanation, with the remark emphasiz-
ed: “How was it possible that you could
in five minutes solve interest on numerous
bills running on so many odd number of
days?” Book-keeper No. 1 had a rare tal-
ent for numbers, he was a prodigy in arith-
metic, and he had made himself perfectly
familiar with our method of computing in-
terest; by always keeping dollars under dol-
Jars, cents under cents, mills under mills,
every fraction in the solution was apparent.
Ata glance he took a twelfth of a_ bill that
had run five days, anda tenth of one that
had run six days, anda sixth of one that
had run ten days; and thus he haddetected
blunders in the solution of his too-cenceited
fellow book-keeper.

The rule has been found most admirable
for averaging interest in accounts where
there are numerous small bills whieh have
run over their time but afew days. The
accountant simply groups those which have
overrun the time for which the purchase
was made—2, 3, 4,5, or 6 days—into as
many brief sums in addition. The respec-
tive aggregates are divided by 30, 20, 15, 12
and 10, the aliquot parts of 60, and at once
he has the true and accurate solution of
each and all these little problems, which by
old methods would be the labor of half a
day.

No. 1 requested his chief to procure the
bills and he would point out the mistakes
and demonstrate to his satisfaction the pos-
sibility of not only detecting errors within
a few minutes where they exist, but also the
rules by which the time of computing inter-
est may be reduced to a minimum.

The accounts were reproduced, he pointed
out the mistakes which he had discovered,
and fully explained to his chief his brief
methods of computation. The result was
that all parties were convinced that book-
keeper No. 1 was not only a bookkeeper of
remarkable powers but a first-class gentle-
man.

But the best of the whole story is to be
told: When bookkeeper No. 1 got home
that evening, some one had placed in his
parlor an elegant piano, with the compli-
ments of one of the most popular dry goods
merchants of the City of New York ad-
dressed to his happy wife.

Working Around a Point,

About the 1st of July a Chicago fruit-buy-
er went over to St. Joseph, on the Michigan
shore, to view the peach-crop prospects, and
he found one orchard-owner who was feel-
ing so very blue that he said to him:

“Now, then, Pll give you a check for
$1,000 for your fruit as it stands.”

“No, I couldn’t do it,’’ replied the grower,
after some hesitation. “It would seem to be
doubting the Lord.”

Two weeks after that, when the prospects
were still poorer he appeared in Chicago
and said he guessed he would take the
$1,000.

“But it will be doubting. the Lord,’’ ob-
served the buyer.

“Yes, it probably will; but I’ve concluded
to doubt him on peaches and make up for it
by hanging onto ’taters and cabbage.”

 

 

CANNED FOODS.

 

The Question of Tin Poisoning Scientifical-
ly Determined.
From the Science News.

The industry in canned foods and fruits is
of enormous magnitude, and is increasing
every year. With the vast consumption of
these goods in households, hotels, boarding-
houses, on ships, steamboats, etc., itis not
strange that a large degree of anxiety should
be manifested, on the part of the public, to
know as regards safety in their use.

In the last volume of Science News, we
presented a somewhat extended article upon
the subject in which we gave the results of
some researches in respect to the toxic action
of lead and tin, and the presence of these
metals in canned foods and fruits. Profes-
sor Attffeld, F. R. S.,a distinguished .En-
glish chemist, has recently conducted some
experiments in the same direction; and his
results correspond, in general, with those
reached in our laboratory. We do not fully
coincide with Professor Attfield regarding
the harmlessness of the metal tin. We as-
sume that its toxic action, under peculiar
conditions, is not well understood. Professor
Attfield remarks as follows:

“During the last fifteen years I have fre-
quently examined canned foods, not only
with respect to the food itself as food, and
to the process of canning, but with regard
to the relation of the food to, or the influ-
ence, if any, of the metal of, the can itself.
So lately as within the past two or three
months, I have examined sixteen varieties
of canned food for metals with a view to
discovering the decimal parts of a grain of
tin (or other foreign metal) present ina
quarter of a pound, with the following re-
sult: :

POACNOS 2 lee oak pb Sa ecient ee 0.004.

“These proportions of metal, are, I say,
undeserving of serious notice. I question
whether they represent more than the
amounts of tin we periodically wear off tin
saucepans in preparing food (a month ago, I
found a trace of tin in water which had been
boiled in a tin kettle), or the silver we wear
off our forks and spoons. There can be lit-
tle doubt that we annually pass threugh our
systems a sensible amount of such metals,
metallic compounds, and other substances

that do not come under the denomination of}
food; but there is no evidence that they ever

did, or are ever likely to, do harm, or occas-
ion us the slightest inconvenience. Harm is
far more likely to come to us from noxious
gases in the air we breathe than from for-
eign substances in the food we eat.

“But whence come the much less minute
amounts of tin (still harmless, be it remem-
bered) which have been stated to be eccas-
ionally present in canned foods? They come
from the minute particles of metal clipped
off from the tin sheets inthe operations of
eutting, bending or hammering the parts of
the ean, or possibly melted off in the prep-
arations necessary for the soldering together
of the joints of the can. Seme may perhaps
be cut off by the knife in epening acan. At
all events, I not unfrequently find such min-
ute particles of metal on carefully washing
the external surfaces of a mass of meat just
removed from a can, or on otherwise proper:
ly treating canned food, with the object of
detecting such particles. The published
processes for the detection of tin in canned
food will not reveal more than the amounts
stated in the table, or about those amounts;
that is to say, a few thousandths, or perhaps
two or three hundredths, of a grain, if this
precaution be adopted. If such care be not

observed, the less minute amounts may be-

found. I did not detect any metallic parti-
eles in the twelve samples of canned food
just mentioned; but during the past few
years I have occasionally found small pieces
of metal, perhaps amounting, in some of the
eases, to a few tenths of a grain per pound.
Now and then small shot-like pieces of tin
or possibly solder may be met with. But no
one has ever found, to my knowledge, such
a quantity of actual metallic tin, tinned iron,
or solder, as, from the point of view of
health, can have any significance whatever.

“The largest amount of tin I ever detected
in actual solution, in food, was in some can-
ned soup containing a good deal of lemon
juice. It amounted to only three-hundredths
of a grain in half a pint of soup as sent to
table.’

The Evil of Company Stores.
From the American Artisan.

One of the evils which oppress the labor-
ing classes, more especially where large
numbers of workmen are employed at one
place by single firms or corporations, is that
of company stores. The corporations which
employ the laborers also run general stores
to furnish supplies for the tamilies of the
workmen. This could be made a. blessing
instead of a curse to working people, but is
not likely to become so while greed has so
strong ahold upon humanity. Tne com-
pany store business has grown to an enorm-

®

 

ous extent in the mining and lumbering re-
gions of the country, and in some communi-
ties in defiance of law. Wesee it stated
that notwithstanding the fact that it is
against the law, the coal and iron corpora-
tions operating in northwestern and western
Pennsylvania have established mammoth
company establishments. The laborers em-
ployed in the iron mines and manufactories
and collieries are forced to buy at these
stores. In the event of their refusal they
are discharged and their names are placed
upon the black list, and they are unable to
obtain work anywhere inthe coal and iron
region.

Now here is a genuine evil against labor
which should be suppressed, and which a
correct public sentiment among business
men may help to alleviate. The net profits
of one of these Pennsylvania company stores
is said to have been $180,000 in 1883. Itis
no wonder that mining companies are loath
to give them up. Nor is it any wonder that
the miners feel keenly the injustice of hay-
ing such profits wrung out of their scanty
wages. An effort is now being made among
miners to combine against the pernicious
system of company store interests. The
workingman should have the privilege of
buying the necessaries of life where he can
get them the cheapest. Company stores
can, if they will, sell as cheap as or cheaper
than outside parties. But they have no
right to compel custom.

a
How Gun Barrels are Made.

The beautiful waved lines and curious
flower-like figures that appear on the sur-
faces of gun barrels are really the lines of
welding, showing that two different - metais
—-iron and steel—are intimately blended in
making the finest and strongest barrels.
The process of thus welding and blending
steel and iron is a very interesting oue.
Flat bars, or ribbons, of steel and iron are
alternately arranged together and then
twisted into a cable. Several of these
cables are then welded together and shaped
into a long, flat bar, which is next spirally
coiled around a hollow cylinder, called a
mandrel; after which the edges of these
spiral bars are heated and firmly welded.
The spiral coil is now put upon what is
called a welding mandrel, is again heated,
and carefully hammered into the shape of
agun barrel. Next comes the cold hammer-
ing, by which the pores of the metal are
securely closed. The last, or finishing,
operation is to turn the barrel on a_ lathe to
exactly its proper shape and size. By all
the twistings, weldings and hammerings the
metals are so blended that the mass has
somewhat the consistency and toughness of
woven steel and iron. <A barrel thus made
is very hard to burst. But the finishing of
the inside of the barrel is an operation re-
quiring very great care and skill. What is
called a ecylinder-bored barrel is made of
uniform size from end to end. A choke
bore is one that is a little smaller at the
muzzle end than it is atthe breech end.
There are various ways of “choking” gun
barrels, but the object of all methods is to
make the gun throw its shot close together
with even and regular distribution and with
great force. There are several kinds of
metallic combinations that gunmakers use,
the principal of which are called Damascus,
Bernaka and laminated steel. The Damas-
cus barrels are generally considered the
best.

What Pluck Will Do.

The London Times, of a recent date, con-
tains some interesting facts about Henry
Bessemer. It was a chance remark at a
gun trial in France which gave to the great
steel fking the idea of improving and
strengthening gun metal. He incurred an
immense outlay, he built furnace after fur-
nace, the tried machine after machine, he
took out patent after patent, and he saw the
money he had amassed by previous inven-
tions fast melting away. After sundry par-
tial suecesses, he fell into disrepute and
was sneered at by the iron manufacturers
as an unpractical enthusiast, while the
Woolwich authorities had been snubbing
him, as a matter of course. A few months
later Bessemer had produced steel worth
from $250 to $300 per ton from iron that
cost him only $35 per ton. ‘‘He could then
see in his mind’s eye, at a glance, the great
iron industry of the world crumbling away
under the irresistable force of the facts so
recently elicited.”” Fourteen years after-
wards these experimental works were sold
for exactly twenty-four times the whole sub-
scribed capital of the firm, after returning
fifty-seven fold, and the manufacture he
originated is now estimated to be worth no
less than $100,000,000 yearly!

Changes that are Taking Place,

A gentleman gave a beggar ten cents for
the expressed purpose of buying a drink of
whisky. A little later he saw the beggar
emerging froma bake shop witha loaf of
bread under his arm.

“You told me you wanted the money for
whisky,” said the gentleman.

“T know I did,” the beggar replied. “If I
had told youl wanted it for bread you
wouldn’t have given it to me, The sympathy
dodge is played out and ‘frankness’ has tak-
en its place. People admire frankness. Could
you give me ten cents more?”

 

 

ILLEGITIMATE. |

}
The Pernicious Practice of “Selling

 

Too |
Cheap.” |

There are men among us in nearly every
community who are possessed with the de-
lusion that they are divinely elected to trans-
act the larger part of the business done in
their immediate locality, and being possessed
of an exceedingly egotistical mind, and
somewhat over self-confident, this delusion
bears them on still farther until they have
reached the point where they absolutely
claim the whole trade, part and parcel, to
the utter exclusion of every other dealer.

Such men hesitate at nothing, however
mean and contempitble, to accomplish this
end. They begin operations first by scatter-
ing abroad a flaming advertisement, declar-
ing that in opening business they have done
so purely in the interest of the consumer,
and that they do not expect to derive any
pecuniary benefit themselves. They do this
simply for the purpose of breaking up all
combinations heretofore existing in their
particular line of trade, and therefore de-
sire to be known as the poor man’s friend.
If engaged in the grocery trade, they will
offer baking powder, canned goods and tal-
low candles at a discount, and to top off,
will offer asaleader and magnet to draw
patrons—granulated sugar at a price less
than it can be bought in 25 pound lots—
with cash discount in the bargain. Such
methods are not only contemptible but il-
legitimate, and entirely foreign to sound
business principles. Besides, the dealer
conducting his business in such a manner,
has nothing to gain in the end, but much to
lose.

The people who are duped by such adver-
tisements are growing wonderfully less, and
are not deceived as they ence were. They
understand the ‘‘dodge.” They do not be-
lieve that any man or number of men are
enough interested in their welfare, to em-
bark in an enterprise and give what is virtu-
ally—according to their advertisements—a
gold dollar for 95 cents, although in the case
of granulated sugar, they are actually giving
a gold dolJar for less than itis worth. But
the majority ef the people who patronize
grocery stores, well know that when a sac-
rifice is made in one article, some other
article which the customer is not so well
able to judge of the quality and worth, is
depended upon to compensate for loss on
the sacrificed article, so that the purchaser
gets no more goods for his money than he
would if he bought at a legitimate store.

People have lost confidence in such deal-
ers, and look upon them with distrust, and
their competitors look upon them as cut-
throats, and refuse to have apy intercourso
with them. From such dealers may be ex-
pected all sorts of impositions of fraudu-
lent and adulterated goods for genuine.
They will bear the closest watching, and
even then one is not safe against their im-
positions, if he engage in any dealings what-
ever with them.

This underhanded way of doing business
should not be encouraged. A demagogue
should not receive support from respectable
people, whether mercantile or political.
Honest competition is always to be desired
and much good results from such. With
honest competition goods are soldat a fair
living profit, and prices are usually uniform.
A dealer may purchase a job lotof some
kind of goods and own them ata less figure
than his competitor, and he may desire to
give the benefit of his purchase to the cus-
tomer, which is purely within the scope of
a legitimate business transaction. This
chance frequently occurs in the grocery
trade, and is as likely to fall to the fortune
of one dealer as another.

A “cheap” dealer is as undesirable to sell
to as tobuy from. , His method of doing
business is not calculated to inspire with
confidence the jobber who sells him goods
on credit. He may meet his obligations
prompty enough to begin with, but sooner
or later he must ask for an extension of his
bills. ‘Then the jobber begins to investigate
the method that the peculiar dealer has
adopted in conducting his business, and dis-
covers at once that it is all wrong. Such
men do more to degrade legitimate business
than all the other evils put together. But
they are becoming beautifully less every
day, and it is not saying too much to assert
that the time is not far distant when busi-
ness will be ona sounder basis, with less
splurge and thunder.

HATS OF PROMINENT MEN.

 

Some of the Characteristics of Politicians
and Statesmen.
Washington Correspondence Cincinnati Star.
' Have you observed that as soon as a man
springs into public notice he at once seeks
some distinctive article of head gear. It is
a little difficult to tell why this is, but it is,
nevertheless, a fact. Men love to be dis-
tinguished above their fellows, and if you
will point out apublic personage whose
head gear does not advertise his position,
then you will have to go outside of Wash-
ington for subjects. President Arthur
usually wears a tall silk hat. It looks like
a President’s hat. Whoever made it, itis
the only one of its kind in Washington. In
the first place, itis avery tall hat, with
just the shadow of a curve near the crown.
The brim is broad and nearly straight, and

hangs out over his eyes. It is a hat among
hats, and one would ask the name of its
owner among a thousand.

Attorney General Brewster’s white silk
hats are almost historical. He has them
made in Philadelphia, and it is understooa
consumes several each season. It is a mat-
ter of some curiosity why he should wanta
new hat of this species. Certainly it must
bea great puzzle for him to pick out his
latest purchase from among the large stock
he must have on hand. His hats are made
to be brushed either or both ways, and they
usually are. They are built very high with
a bulging crown anda rolling brim, some-
thing after the style of the headgear worn
in the pictures of the allegorical ‘Uncle
Sam.” Mr. Blaine sometimes wears a
stylish silk hat, but his favorite is a black
slouch, which he draws down over his eyes
until it nearly touches his nose.

General Butler and Senator Edmunds and
Senator Hoar also run to slouches, all av-
parently made on pretty nearly the same
model. General Logan wears a cavalry
slouch hat about half the time and a re-
spectable silk hat the remainder. Senator
Ingalls’ hat is tall and angular, like him-
self. It isa keen and incisive looking hat
and sits on his head in a prim sort of fash-
ion, as much as to say to all brother hats:
“Just have yourself made over into this
style.”

Secretary Chandler usually wearsa derby.
He perches it low down on his forehead,
where it looks thorougly business-like, like
its owner. Secretary Frelinghuysen wears
a tall, thin silk hat. Secretary Folger, on
the contrary, wears a rather low-crowned.
hat, which materially adds to his judicial
appearance. Secretary Lincoln’s silk hat
is usually stylish and dressy, while Secre-..
tary Teller’s makes him look like an Epis-
copal bishop. Postmaster General Gresham
has developed a genuine fondness for his
old black slouch hat, whieh he throws down
anywhere.

Commissioner Loring wears the most dig-
nified looking hat in Washington. No one
would ever think of such a thing as rubbing
that hat the wrong way, and as for crush-

ing it, the idea would be preposterous,
General Rosecrans affects the military

slouch hat, while General Sheridan wears a
light derby of a fashionable make. Before
he was elected Speaker, Mr. Carlisle always
wore a slouch hat; now he wears a tall silk
one with a narrow brim, which looks as
though it was three sizes too small. Senator
Mahone wears a light brown slouch hat on
the left side of his head, which gives hima
dashing appearance. Judge Lawrencé, the
eccentric First Comptroller of the Treasury
Department, wears a flat crowned hat with
a wide brim. This is savagely pushed down
on his head, just as though he had just giv-
en an adverse decision of 16,000 words. It
almost covers his ears, but it don’t—that is,
one can see hisears. These are a very few
of the immense numbers of distinguished-
looking hats which may be seen in Wash-
ington.

The subject of hats suggests an incident
which happened at the White House during
Grant’s first term. General Butler came in
to see the President one day and deposited
his new silk hat in a large and comfortable
arm-chair. As he stood talking, in walked
Horace (Greeley. Greeley stumbled across
the room and sat down fair and square upon
Butler’s hat. Of course there was a crash,
and as the great editor jumped up General
Butler took the remains of what was his
handsome headgear in his hands, and said:

Referring to the recent reunion and pic-
nic of the traveling men of Peoria, the
Lecon, f1l., Democrat remarks:

OThe “drummer,” so-called, ought once in a
while to havea time. Just imagine how
the poor, virtuous souls have to go out into
the cold world begging of the merchant
princes of the outer towns the poor privi-
lege of stocking them with. soap, candles,
silks, mackerel, threshing machines, whisky,
tape, wagons, sugar, wyowing machines,
beer, ete. When they leave home they shed
tears of deep concern for poor little wifey,

and are so sorry they have to leave. For
five minutes after leaving home they will
not look upon another man’s wife or daugh-
ter. And there they go, from town to town,
in heat and in cold, rain or shine, working
like beavers todo the people good, profit
their employers, and lay up an honest penny
for wife and babies. When they go to their
meals they eat very rapidly for fear some
other fellow will get a billof one of their
customers, and when the day’s work is done
they offer a prayer for wife and babes and
go straight to bea. They always sleep alone.
They never allow a female to address them,
and a resolution was passed as they went
down stream that if women continued to
flirt with them they would all wear heavy
veils when on the streets and railroad trains.
Poor fellows! This was the first and only
day that any one of them has had to him-
self in years. It will long be remembered.

The New York News states the case pret-
ty strongly when it says: ‘Our bankrupts,
as a class, seem to be arace of thieves and
counterfeiters whose proper portion is the
penitentiary.”

The man who sells goods at cost to attract
custom, or to draw away the patrons of rival

the property of his creditors, is dishonest

The Coopersville Observer utters a pro-
phetic warning relative to the necessity for
better fire protection—a warning that the‘
business men of the place would do well to
heed and act upon.

 

For genuine honesty and business-like
sagacity, THe TRADESMAN gladly com-
mends the recent action of the Northwest-
ern Manufacturing Co., as related last week.
In these times of blanket mortgages and
preferred creditors, it is encouraging to note
that there are somein business who are
possessed of a high ideal of commercial hon-
or.

 

Chief Drummond, of the United States
Secret Service, sends out the following
warning: ‘Please send out ageneral alarm
to all storekeepers and business people to
look out for a new counterfeit $10 national
bank note on the Third National Bank of
Cincinnati The note has a brown back,
series of 1882, and large brown seal, letter
C. The note is dangerous.”

The Chicago Produce’ Exchange has taken
a step which, it is believed, will do much
toward the development of the dairy interest
of the northwest, which has already reached
the enormous amount of $150,000,000 annu-
ally. Beginning Sept. 10, Wednesday of
each week will be set apart for the sale of
butter, cheese, and eggs at the Produce Ex-
change, and will be known as Dairy Day.
On those days manufacturers of butter and
cheese are invited to attend with samples,
and ample facilities will be furnished for ex-
hibiting them and for meeting with members
of the Exchange and the trade.

There never was atime when the neces-
sity for organization among the grocery job-
bers—all the jobbing houses at this market,
in fact—was more apparent than at the pres-
ent time. Such an organization would en-
sure fair profits, prevent unmerciful and un-
scrupulous “cutting,” and enable the jobbers
to act in concert on all points affecting the
growth and prosperity of the business. The
exchange of views which would be afforded
by occasional meetings would alone com-
pensate for the expense involved in the un-
dertaking. Who will be the first to move
in the matter?

 

 

Kellogg, Sawyer & Co. and Patrick & Co.,
the Leroy lumbermen and mercantile firm,
respectively, come in for a good share of the
criticism accorded the owners of ‘“‘company
stores.” Readers of THE TRADESMAN Will
remember that reference was made to this
subject nearly a year ago, in connection with
a recital of the shameful treatment accorded
the men employed by Kellogg, Sawyer & Co.,
and the unusual profits piled up by the mer-
cantile firm—while the other concern went
into liquidation—is conclusive evidence that
undue advantage was exercised over the
men, and that they were the victims ofa
species of bull-dozing as cruel and reprehen-
sible as any existing in the mining regions
of Pennsylvania.

 

 

 

It isnot probable that there will be a
great rush to Dakota this fall, or next spring,
for the particular reason that the promises
of vast wealth in wheat growing made sev-
eral years ago are not being realized. In
1881 Dakota wheat sold at the farms as high
as $1.28 a bushel, and with this asa basis it
was declared that a Dakota wheat field was
a mine of wealth. Thousands were induced
to invest their money, not one of whom
thought it probably that A No. 1 wheat
would ever fall below $1 a bushel. But the
price has gradually declined, until this year
the best sells for but 65 cents, and as buyers
in the Northwest make a practice of grading
down wheat, the majority of the farmers
will not realize much over 50 cents a bushel

for their crop. The average weil-to-do
farmer in the old States will do wisely to re-
main where he is.

The timely article on the subject of “com-
pany stores,” which appears in another part
of this week’s paper, will probably be given
less consideration than the subject deserves.
While the article in question refers more
particularly to a condition of affairs existing
in the iron regions of Pennsylvania, yet the
statements made will apply with equal force
and justice to many of the lumbering regions
of this State. Company stores, when right-
ly conducted, are a convenience to employes
as well as a source of profit to employers.
But when it is made compulsory for the men
to trade at the establishment, the business
ceases to be legitimate and becomes a monop-
oly. Tothis pernicious system is to be traced
much of the dissatisfaction existing in certain
lumbering localities, and it is not necessary
to go back many months to recall an exten-
sive and expensive strike of laborers, which
was brought on by the imposition of store
orders and compulsory trading at company
stores. And the Oscoda trouble, involving
the presence of the military, is but a precur-
sor of what may be expected with greater
or less frequency, unless the cause of com-
plaint is speedily removed.

AMONG THE TRADE.

 

IN THE CITY.
Jas. Wingarden has engaged inthe gro-
cery business at Grand Haven. Cody, Ball
& Co. furnished the stock.

 

Groskopf Bros., manufacturers of trunks
and valises, have opened a branch sales-
roo m at 16 North Ionia street.

business at the corner of Logan and Charles
streets. Cody, Ball & Co. furnished the
stock.

Frank Maybee has purchased the interest
of all the stock-holders in the Grand Rapids
Broom Co., and will hereafter conduct the
business under his own name.

 

The Nashville News says: H. M. Lee
was in Grand Rapids this week and closed
a contract with a firm therefor the manu-
facture of his patent wheel hoe.

 

Emery J. Bean, formerly engaged in the
drug business at Custer, has started in the
same business at Summit City. Hazeltine,
Perkins & Co furnished the stock.

Andries Dekker, of the former firm of
Stryker & Dekker, has engaged in the gro-
cery business on his own account on Grand-
ville avenue. Clark, Jewell & Co. furnish-
ed the stock.

W. L. Smedley, brother of the Smedley
Bros., general dealers at Bauer, has engaged
in the grocery and notion business at 168
Fourth street. Cody, Ball & Co. furnished
the grocery stock.

cery business at 258 South Division street,
has rented a store building now in process
of construction at Reed City, and will put in
a stock of furniture and fancy goods.

 

There have been no new developments in
the Carr case during the past week. The
assignee is pushing the collection of the ac-
counts with all possible dispatch, and con-
templates the sale of the land belonging to
the estate in the near future.

The D. R. Stocum assignment matter
came up for final settlement in the Kent
Circuit Court Monday, and was adjourned
until Sept. 15, at which time a final divi-
dend will be declared and the assignee re-
lieved from further obligation.

Frank Berles, Jr., house salesman for S.
A. Welling, and Adolph Wurzburg, with F.
W. Wurzburg, has purchased the grocery
business of the late Franz Berles, at the
corner of West Bridge and Turner streets,
and will continue the business under the
former firm name.

A considerable number of druggists and
drug clerks are taking advantage of the
present low price of quinine to lay in from
one to several hundred ounces, for specula-
tive purposes. The present very low price
is proving very attractive to those of a specu-
lative turn of mind.

Arthur Meigs & Co. recently attached the
grocery stock of Henry Principaal, at Muske-
gon, but it was subsequently replevined at
the instance of Lyman Newton, of Muske-
gon, who holdsa mortgage lease on the
stock. Principaal engaged in business only
about a month ago, with a capital of only
$100, which, it is now claimed was borrowed
money.

their clothing stock at Big Rapids, and no
longer exist asa firm. The latter has sold
his portion of the goods to W. H. Smith,

ness at that place.

The large clothing store of Seligman &
Roseman, at Bay City, has been closed on

who was prowling about at a late hour the
other night.

“T am quietly attending to my own busi-

‘And what is your business?”

“Jewelry business. I think some of open-

The time required for the formation of
mineral veins appears to be much less than
has been generally supposed. A ditch which
was filled up two years ago with common
clay containing iron has just been opened
again by Dr. Fleitman, who has found, to
his great suprise, that the clay has become
white, and is permeated by cracks filled with
compact iron pyrites, these veins being from
a twenty-fifth to a sixth of an inch in thick-
ness.

city trade and the Michigan Cenfral, G. R. &
L, L. S. & M.S. and C. & W. M., south.

Tur TRADESMAN is in receipt of a lilipu-
tian newspaper entitled the News Record,
published at Middleville by Willis J. Mills,
who is evidently a relative of the renowned

genius of the youthful publisher and the
creditable appearance of the paper.

Members of Post A, and those who desire
to identify themselves with the organiza-
tion, should not neglect to attend the regu-
lar monthly meeting on Saturday evening.
Before another month shall have elapsed,
the Post will probably be located in its own
rooms, to which it will welcome all resident
and visiting representatives of the traveling
fraternity.

Stephen Sears is accompanied on his up-
per lake shore trip this week by his wife,
who was desiraus of ascertaining the pleas-
ant features surrounding the traveling man’s
eareer. And the early morning trains Steve
mapped out to take on this occasion
are pretty sure of convincing Mrs. Sears that
her husband is the hardest worked—as well
as the most innocent—man on the road.

ablk time at that resort, will return with his

Geo. H. Minchener, district manager for
Dun’s Mercantile Agency, was in the city
last week on his semi-annual inspection tour.
Mr. Minchener has been connected with the
Agency for over twenty years.

Jas. F. Nelson, of Nelson Bros. & Co.,
has returned from New York, where he has
been for the past three weeks purchasing
spring goods of the importers and manu-
facturers. The traveling men of the house
will start out with the spring samples about
Sept. 20.

Geo. H. Kelly has gone to Muskegon in
the interest of Dun’s Mercantile Agency,
and will spend several weeks in the city and
county, revising the rating of the business
men. Mr. Kelly’s well-known ability and
experience are a sufficient guarantee that the
work entrusted to him will be done thor-
oughly and that his conclusions may be re-
lied upon as correct.

An Honorable Surrender.

Willams & Wheeler, the Ludington hard-
ware dealers, having found themselves un-
able to meet their bills as they become due,
and being desirous of avoiding attachments
or other means for obtaining preferences,
have given Geo. Goodsell, a banker at
Ludington, a trust mortgage covering their
entire property. They take this course in
“deference to the wishes of their creditors,
the advice of their friends, and their own
earnest desire to pay,” and also for the rea-
son that it enables them to carry on their
business themselves, rather than to entrust
it to an assignee. It is understood that the
stock and accounts will about meet the lia-
bilities. The amount of the assets is being
determined by an inventory, now in progress.
The total indebtedness is $3,958.84, divided
among fifteen creditors in the following

Have Removed the Ban.

With the fact that our firm has been plac-
ed under the ban of the Knights of Labor
for selling Straiton & Storm’s cigars, our city
trade is already acquainted. The announce-
ment was made without proper authoriza-
tion on our part, and was the result of a
mistake as serious as it was annoying to our
trade and ourselves. After careful consid-
eration of the matter, in all its phasgs and
all the points involved, we have concluded
to abandon the sale of the goods in question
and have so notified the executive committee
of the Knights of Labor, who have agreed
to remove the ban, so far as it affects our
house. Our customers are therefore reliev-
ed from the consequences otherwise threat-
ened in case they persisted in purchasing of
us, and may confidently continue their re-
relations with our house without fear of ser-
ious consequences.

Thanking the trade for the cordial support
accorded us in the past, and bespeaking a
continuation of the same, we are,

Yours truly,
Copy, BALL & Co.

 

At a meeting of the executive committee
of the Knights of Labor, held Monday
evening; the matter referred to above was
viewed and discussed thoroughly, and it was
unanimously voted to remove the ban from
Cody, Ball & Co.,and also to make every
effort to counteract the effects of the forme
action. ;

  
  
 

 

Why Heating Stoves are Surmounted With
Ornaments.

From the American Artisan.

The query is suggested why is it that
stove manufacturers universally feel obliged
to surmount heating stoves with an ‘‘urn” or
something in its stead? ~ We suppose the an-
swer would be that it has become custom-
ary and that a stove looks better with some
such ornament than without it. But is this
a fact? Of course this is a question which
cannot be answered by anarbitrary affirma-
tion or negation, but is a matter of individ-
ual taste and opinion. As such we are free
to say that in our opinion many of the artis-
tic square stoves which have been brought
out can be made to look better without any
such topping off device. Artistic taste does
not demand it, and it is therefore open to
the criticism of appearing to be “‘stuck on”
serving no useful purpose. Talking witha
stove man about this matter lately, he made
the remark that if the people desired monkeys
with wings on put on to stoves they ought
to have them. But is this the proper way to
discuss a matter of this kind? The way we
look at it is that stove manufacturers ought
to be educators. Not that stove foundries
should come into competition with school-
houses, but every trade ought not simply to
minister to existing wants, but also to edu-
cate the people to better things. Stove man-
ufacturers, we are happy to say, have done
good work in this direction, as the goods of-
fered the present season bear witness. This
is an evidence that in minor matters, such
as we have spoken of above, it is not neces-
sary to be ruled by ideas which have a right
now to be known as reminiscences. Natur-
al laws compel an adherence to certain ele-
mentary principles in working constructions.
But in the outward adornment of stoves
manufacturers are not compelled to remain
in ruts.

“Yes sir, I came back!’

“How long you been gone?”

‘Five days.”

“You look squelched.”

“Yes, sir, I was damned forty-three times
in ten minutes.”

“Any thing else?”

“Well, they threw the hammer through

“J wish to look at some mourning goods,”’

“Yes, madam,” replied the clerk; “this

After looking through the entire stock she
remarked that she would come again in the
course of a day or two.

“May I ask,” said the clerk, in a sympathet-
ic tone of voice, “if the death occurred in
your immediate family?”

“There has been no death yet,’ she re-

Concluded Not to Buy.

“Any reduction in price of clothing?” he
asked.

“Very large reduction,” answered the
dealer.

“JT would like to buy a pair of pantaloons
if I can get them cheap enough.”

“Well, sir, prices have all gone to pieces,
particularly on pantaloons. The bottom has
fairly dropped out.”

“In that case,” said the customer, turning
to go, “I guess I will stick to my old ones
for a while yet.”

Castor Oil Prospects.
From the Oil, Paint and Drug Reporter.

The limited production of castor beans
would indidate that farmers are directing
their attention to the cultivation of cereals
or other products, for the reason that the av-
erage yield is far below that of wheat and
other articles of food, and consequently they
find no profit in a harvest of only nine bush-
els of castor beans per acre, which command
one dollar and a half per bushel when the
market is high. Kansas produces fully three-
quarters of all the beans raised in the Unit-
ed States. There was a reduction in acre-
age last year of nearly seventy per cent., the
total production being placed at 156,471
bushels, including Kansas, Missouri, and Il-
linois, against 499,790 bushels of the year
previous, or 343,313 bushels less than was
produced in Kansas alone in 1882, allowing
15,000 bushels as the crop for Missouri and
Illinois. The situation this year is on a low-
er plane. According to the report of the
Kansas State Board of Agriculture, publish-
ed in these columns three weeks ago, the
area has been decreased from 1883 about
twenty per cent, and the crop is said to be
below the condition of one year ago by ten
per cent. This is strange, as the weather in
Kansas has been favorable for all crops, and
an excellent yield of all cereals and seeds is
the result. September is the harvest month
in Kansas and Missouri, and new oil may be
expected the first of October. As the report
of the State Board was issued in June, it is
safe to say that the observations were made
in the middle of May, which is too early a
date to form a correct opinion as to the per-
centage of loss or gain in the condition of the
crop. The average yield per acre in 1883
was ten bushels, while the prospects for
this year indicate less than nine bushels per
acre, according to the same authority. There
is no doubt but what the coming crop will be
smaller than last season, but scarcely to the
extent outlined abone.

Waterproof Varnish for Paper.
From the N. Y. Oil, Paint and Drug Reporter.

In many cases waterproof varnishes are
useful, and among their uses may be men-
tioned their application to labratory labels,
and their use for the fixing of drawings.

There are many such varnishes, but ac-
cording to our own experience, says the
Photographic News, one of the bestis a
thin solution of guttapercha in benzole, and
such a varnish may be made by dissolving
one or two parts of fine guttapercha foil in
a hundred parts of benzole. The heat ofa
water bath serves to make the guttapercha
dissolve tolerably quick, but if it is neces-
sary to have the preparation at once, the
guttapercha may be dissolved in a little
chloriform, and this is then mixed with the
required bulk of benzole. Paper which has
been coated with this varnish can be easily
written, drawn, or painted upon; and it
must be remembered that the guttapercha
varnish does not make the paper transpar-
ent or spotted. It is known that guttapercha
stowly oxidises in the air, and becomes con-
verted into a brittle resin; but this oxida-
tion product is itself a waterproofing agent.
Alcoholic solutions of resins tend to make
papers more or less transparent, but the fol-
lowing varnish, prepared with acetone, is
not subject to this drawback. One part of
damar is dissolved. in six parts of acetone,
the materials being allowed to digest togeth-
er for some weeks; the clear liquid is now
decanted off, and mixed with its own vol-
ume of plain collodine. Another method of
making a waterproof varnish for paper con-
sists in digesting 30 parts of white shellac
with 300 parts of ether, and then agitating
the solution with 15 parts of finely powder-
ed white lead; on filtering the solution, it
will be found that the white lead has been
very effectual in clarifying the solution. The
above resinous varnish gives more luster
than the guttapercha varnish, but the latter
gives far more flexibility, a considerable ad-
vantage in many cases. Not only silver
prints, but also collotypes, and often photo-
mechanical impressions, may often be ad-
vantageously treated with one of the above
varnishes; and it must not be forgotten that
anything which protects a silver print
against damp serves to diminish the tenden-
ey to fading.

The oil in fishes is contained in the net-
work of the tissues, and cannot be liberated
until they are destroyed, either by putrefac-
tion or by the application of heat. In both
these cases the oil is subjected to an alterna-
tive process of amore or less pronounced
character. It has, however, been noticed
that under the influence of certain reactive
substances, the albuminoid matters which
form the tissues contract, become tighter,
and allow the oil to exude in a cold state,
and inacondition of remarkable purity.
The reactive substances which produce this
effect are notably lime, per-chloruret of iron,
the sulphates of peroxide of iron and the
chlorurets and sulphates of alumina. Of all
these reagents the salts of iron produce the
best results, because they procure the disin-
fection of the substances to which they are

applied, and secure them against putresence.

The Metric System.
From the Oil, Paint and Drug Reporter.

Those who are opposed to the metric sys-
tem are entertaining great fears that it will
supersede the present antiquated plan. The
eminent gentlemen who constitute the socie-
ty known as the International Institute for
Preserving and Perfecting Anglo-Saxon
Weights and Measures seem to be greatly
worked up and in distress of mind over the
coming congress, which meets in Washing-
ton, D. C., October 1, to select a prime mer-
idian by which every civilized nation shall
measure degrees of longitude. The _ princi-
pal cause for worriment in the anti-metric
circles is the statement that an effort will be
made at this international congress to com-
mit the United States to the adoption of the
metric system. Anticipating a movement of
this character, the Anglo-Saxon enthusiasts
have importuned President Arthur to pre-
vent the nation being represented by any
one who is not in favor of maintaining the
old plan. This reminds us of the opposition
to the introduction of uniform standard time,
which has been found a great convenience
to the traveling public, as well as to the rail-
road corporations.

The metric system is taught in all the pri-
vate and public schools of this country, and
a knowledge of it is made one of the require-
ments for admission to leading colleges,
and from this fact alone its adaption
would be easy, and not cause the friction
anticipated by its opponents. All the prom-
inent nations of Europe, except England, use
the metricsystem, and the latter is expected
to fall into line. The metric system of
weights and measures has for a unit of
length the meter, of small volumes the liter,
and of weights the gram. These are divid-
ed by ten, 100, and 1,000, and the divisions
designated by the prefixes deci, centi and
milli; or they are multiplied by ten, 100,
1,000 and 10,000, and the multiples distin-
guished by the prefixes deca, hecto, kilo and
myria.

A New Solvent.

What is said to be a valuable preparation
in which petroleum forms the chief ingredi-
ent has recently been patented in England.
The invention relates to the production from
petroleum of a substitute for bisulphide of
carbon which can be used for extracting oils
and anthracine, for dissolving gums, rosins
and analogous substances, for waterproof-
ing, and for vulcanizing india-rubber in
conjunction with chloride of sulphur or
other vulcanizing agents. To obtain the
improved substitute, which is called ‘“‘vul
coleine,” the distillate or fraction from
petroleum which passes over between the
temperatures of 100 degrees and 212 degrees
F. or thereabout (the fraction known as
spirit or naphtha) is taken and treated in the
following manner: To every 100 gallons of
petroleum are added from two to three gal-
lons of sulphuric acid, with constant agita-
tion, continued as long as may be necessary,
in a suitable vessel; itis then allowed to
subside, and the liquor decanted from the
sediment is run into a still with from one to
two per cent. of its weight of lime or other
dehydratng medium, calcium carbonate or
other alkaline carbonates, or oxides of metals
capable of removing or destroying any sul-
pho-oils which may have been generated by
the treatment with sulphuric acid. ‘The dis-
tillation is conducted without injecting steam
or water into the contents of the still. Some-
times before distilling the liquid is submit-
ted to repeated treatment with fresh sul-
phuric acid until the acid ceases to be color-
ed, or nearly so. As the distillate comes
over, the receivers are exchanged as soon as
the product which is coming over reaches a
specific gravity from about 680 to 690, wa-
ter being taken as 1,000. By these processes
the portions of petroleum unsuited for a sub-
stitute for bisulphide of carbon are removed,
and considerable economy is thereby effect-
ed, both in material and bulk of liquid to be

operated on.

Carbonic Acid Gas.

A writer in one of the medica! journals
argues against the common idea that carbon-
‘ic acid gas is poisonous. He asserts that
it is no more so than water—animals im-
mersed in it die just as they do if immersed
in water, and for the same reason, namely,
want of oxygen. Birds have been made to
live in an atmosphere containing 35.40 per
cent. of pure carbonic acid and about an
equal per cent. of oxygen. Yet, when the
carbonic acid of respired air rises to one per
cent. that airis very dangerous poison. The
solution of this puzzle is that respired air
contains a very small proportion of poison-
ous organic matter, which is constantly exhals
ed from even the healthiest lungs; its exact
nature isnot known, but it is the source of
the foul odor so characteristic of badly ven-
tilated rooms. The air from the exit pipes
of a crowded hall darkens sulphuric acid,
declorizes potassium permanganate, and
causes water, or a sponge saturated with it.
to putrefy.

Paper bottles are now made ona large
scale in Germany and Austria. The paper
must be well sized. The following is said
to be a good recipe for the paper: Ten parts
of rags, forty of straw, fifty of brown wood
pulp. The paper is impregnated or coated
on both sides with sixty parts defibrinated
fresh blood, thirty-five parts of lime powder,
five parts sulphate of alumina. After dry-
ing, ten or twelve rolled leaves are coated
again, placed over each other, and then plac-
ed in heated molds, The albumen in the blood
forms a combination on pressure with the
lime which is perfectly proof against spirits,
ete. The bottles are made in two pieces,
which are joined afterward.

Reports on the Hop Crop.
From the N. Y. Oil, Paint and Drug Reporter.

The hop farmers in this State are despon-
dent over the prospects of the crop, which
should be ready for picking three weeks
hence. The counties of Madison, Otsego,
Oneida and Schoharie claim to raise nearly
sixty per cent. of the entire yield of the
United States, and last year the four coun-
ties exported hops to the value of three mil-
lion dollars. This season, the farmers of
the districts named expected to realize four
million dollars net from a crop of fifteen
million pounds, but it is believed that the
yield will only reach two-thirds of the aver-
age, if it is that. One thousand pounds to
the acre was calculated upon previous to the
June frosts. Then followed the retarding
weather of July, accompanied by high and
destructive winds and damaging hail storms.
This condition prevailed so long that even a
favorable August could not overcome the
damage and insure a promising development
of the fruiting process. The hot and wet
weather in August it is expected will be fol-
lowed by a blighting mold, so dreaded by
hop growers, and it would not be surprising
if an early frost visits the vineyards before
picking.

The hop market is easy, owing to the
light wants of exporters and the slow home
trade. The principal consumers are appar-
ently well stocked in anticipation of a
change in values. Sellers are not pressing
stocks.

The report of the condition of the plant
in Europe by the German Hop Growers’ As-
sociation will prove interesting at this time.
In the United Kingdom a poor yield was
anticipated. In Belgium the plant has suf-
fered, but is well developed and pushing.
The early cold weather checked its growth
in France, but it has gained much by later
warmth and a good growth was expected.
Hops are backward in Holland and Sweden
In Bavaria the plants looked well, and the
same was true of Wurtemberg, though there
had been slight damage from hailstorms.
In Baden gardens have suffered from cold
in June, but plants are generally sound and
clean. In Alsace-Lorraine much damage
done by adverse weather, and plants very
uneven, in cases backward; on the whole,
however, appearances were not unsatisfac-
tory. In the Posen districts also the plants
are very backward, but look sound general-
ly. In Brunswick and Prussian Altmark,
with few exceptions, the plants looked ex-
tremely well. Equally satis factory reports
have been received from West Prussia, Hoh-
enzollern and Hesse. In the Prussian
Rhine province, Hanover, and the Kingdom
of Saxony, cases of damage are rare. In
Pomerania the growth is very backward.
In Bohemia the hops are making good pro-
gress. Late hops look well in Styria, while
the very early hops, especially in the south
ern districts, suffered from prevailing
cold and wet weather during the Dblossom-
ing season. Galicia promises a good crop,
though probably a less plentiful one than
last year. In Upper Austria continued
warm weather promises a good yield.

The Manufacture and Value of Quinine.
From the N. Y. Oil, Paint and Drug Reporter.

One of the articles inthe drug trade re-
ceiving the most attention to-day is quinine,
and recent events have suggested recollec-
tions of the past. Regarding the present
low values, partly attributed to the London
failures, a prominent New York maufactur-
er said recently:

“The removal of the tariff has little or
nothing to do with the demoralization in the
trade. All the trouble is caused by over-
production, while the demand has remained
constant. I cannot see that thereis any
more consumed now than during the past
five years, and the only effect of taking off
the duty has been to remove half of the
work done from the United States to Eu-
rope. The manufacturers there have dump-
ed on the United States all their surplus
product in the hope of finding a market, and
as we could not absorb it, the price has nat-
urally gone down. Those who produced
most have lost most, and at present I can
see no sign of relief. In fact, the outlook
for quinine is as bad as it well can be, ex-
cept to the consumer.”’

The world’s production to-day is estimated
at 4,500,000 ounces, of which Germany and
Italy manufacture by far the greatest por-
tion. There is considerable made in Eng-
land, but its enhanced cost limits its con-
sumption and consequent production, Am-
erica consumes 40 per cent. of the total pro-
duction, or about 1,800,000 ounces. Prior to
the removal ofthe tariff 1,500,000 ounces
were produced here, but the effect of the re-
moval of the duty has been to decrease the
manufacture and make the United States
more dependent upon foreign supplies. It
is estimated that now not more than 1,000,-

|000 ounces are manufactured in the New

World. From the East Indies the ship-
ments of the raw material to the United
States were over 6,000,000 pounds, of which
avery large proportion was shipped to
Europe for account of the American manu
facturers, Of late yearsthe quality of the

product has materially improved.

small corks, refuse, and cement, and have
not only been used for certain building pur-
poses, on account of their lightness and iso-
lating proporties, but are also employed as a
covering for boilers, in preventing the radia-

The Value of Manner.
From the London Spectator.

We have heard it said that you can do
everything, however unpleasant it may be
to those around you, if you only do it in the
right way; and the instance given to prove
the truth of this assertion is taken from
humble life. A cat walks daintily into a
room on acold Winter’s day, and with a be-
nign glance at the company and a melodi-
ous purring sound she walks leisurely
aiound, selects for herself the warmest
place in the room—perhaps the only warm
place, right in front of the fire—curls her-
self up and goes serenely to sleep, secure
that no one will be so unreasonable as to
question her right to sleep wherever inclipa-
tion prompts her todo so. Noone calls it
selfish, no one is annoyed, because she has
done it so prettily and gracefully. Indeed,
all experience an access of warmth and
comfort in themselves from beholding pus-
sy’s blissful repose. Now, imagine the
same thing done in a different way, aud by
a Jess self-possessed individual. If it were
done hurridly, or noisily, or clumsily, or dif-
fidently, even, orin any way obtrusively,
what a storm of indignation it would excite
in the bosoms of all beholders! How
thoughtless, how inconsiderate, how selfish!
No, it must be done as the cat does it, with-
out a sound or a gesture to provoke criti-
cism or it must not be done at all.

Cheap Chicago Cigars.
From the Chicago Herald.

In a State street cigar store yesterday a
customer had overhauled the entire stock
and still seemed dissatisfied. He was on
the point of going out when a salesman, as
a last resort, asked him why he could not
be suited.

“Well, you see, I want something cheap.”

“T know it, and ’ve showed you all the
cheap goods in the house. Here’s some-
thing fora dollar a hundred. You don’t
expect to get cigars cheaper than that do
you?”

“T thought I might. You see in my busi-
ness l want something small and cheap.
Now, couldn’t you make me a cigar about
half the size of this one, for, say, 50 cents a
hundred. Ican sell them ‘two fora quar-
ter.”

“No, we can’t do that.
business, may I ask?”

“T’m running a Summer resort hotel.”

 

What is your

Tobacco as a Preventative.
A French physician, Dr. Pecholier,

strongly advocates the use of tobacco asa
preventive of epidemic and contagious dis-
orders. He cites as an instance of its benefi-
cient effects, the immunity from phthisis
enjoyed by workpeople in tobacco manu-
factories, which has lately been noted in
the Montpellier Medical. Whether this is
to be attributed to the floating tobocco dust
with which the atmosphere of such places
is impregnated, is not quite clear, but it ap-
pears probable.

An Extravagant Cook.

Steward of Summer Resort Hotel—The
bill of fare is all right but the clam chow-
der. You will have to cross that off.

Landlord—What’s the matter? You know
very well that we are to have clam chowder
every Friday.

Steward—I understand all that, but thie
new cook threw the dish water out by mis-
take this morning.

Landlord—Tel! him if he does itagain P’ll

discharge him.

Brief Digests of Recent Decisions in Courts
of Last Resort.

 

PRIVATE CORPORATION—VENUE.

An action against a private corporation,
when the cause of action is transitory, may
be brought in any county in which the cor-
poration transacts business through its
agents, without regard to the location of its
principal place of business, or its ownership
of real estate-—Supreme Court of Alabama.

 

TITLE—CAN NOT BE DISREGARDED.
A judgment creditor who resorts toa di-
rect action to annul an outstanding title
made by his debtor to a third person can not
disregard such title during the pendency of
the action and proceed by seizure and sale
of the property, according to the decision of
the Supreme Court of Louisiana in the re-
cent ease of Ulrick vs. Duson et al.

 

ASSIGN EE—POWER OF.

An assignee in a voluntary assignment is
the mere instrument of the debtor for the
distribution of his property, and unless the
power is conferred upon him specially by
statute, he can not maintain any action or
suit concerning the same that the debtor
could not, in case no assignment had been
made.—United States Cirenit Court, District
of Oregon.

 

TENANT—LIABILITY FOR NUISANCE.
The tenant in possession and not the land-
lord is responsible to third person for in-
juries occasioned by a failure to keep the
demised premises in repair, unless the own-
erhas agreed to keep them in repair, or
when the premises were let with the nuis-
ance upon them, in which case the owner
and not the tenant is responsible for injur-
ies caused by the nuisance.—Supreme Court
of Illinois.

 

BANK CHECK NOT EVIDENCE OF PAYMENT.

A check on a bank is not prima facie evi-
dence of the payment of an original debt,
and acheck drawn in favor of a debtor’s
agent is clearly not prima facie evidence of
the payment of the debt to the creditor, ev-
en if the creditor assents that the check shall
be so drawn. In order that acheck ona
bank shall be payment of an original debt it
shall be such payment and be taken by the
creditor as payment.—Mullins vs. Brown,
Supreme Court of Kansas.

 

CORPORATION—PREFERENCE TO CREDITORS.

The creditor of the corporation first suing
a stockholder in respect to his individual lia-
bility acquires by his suit a preference over
other creditors, which neither they nor the
stockholder can defeat, unless possibly by
bringing a general winding-up bill. Such
action isin the nature of an equitable at-
tachment of the stockholder’s liability to the
extent of the plaintiff creditor’s claim. The
stockholder, after notice of such a suit against
him, can not defeat the action by paying
other creditors to the extent of his liability.—
Supreme Court of Illinois.

 

EXCURSION TICKET—TIME LIMITED.

A bought an excursion ticket at a reduced
rate, good for a limited time only, and at-
tempted to return on it after the time had
expired and was put off the train, for which
he brought suit for damages, failed to get
judgment, and carried the case, Pennington
vs. the P., W. & B. Railway Company, to
the Maryland Court of Appeals, where the
judgment of the trial court was affirmed, the
higher court holding that since the ticket
was bought at a reduced price and accepted
and used, the purchaser was bound by the
stipulation on its face, and that when once
excluded from the car, he had no right to be
re-admitted without paying the whole fare
from the starting point.

 

ESCAPE—“OWNER”’—MEANING OF
TERM.

In the destruction by fire of the Randolph
Mills, Philadelphia, an employe, to save his
life, jumped from the fourth story, sustain-
ing severe injury, and brought suit against
the owner of the building to recover damages
under the statute providing for the erection
of fire-escapes, which reads: “Every store-
house, factory, manufactory or workshop of
any kind in which employes or operators are
usually employed at work on the third or
any higher story, shall be provided witha
permanent safe external means of escape
therefrom in case of fire. And it shall be
the duty of the owners, superintendents or
managers of such factories, manufactories or
workshops to provide and cause to be affix-
ed to every such building such permanent
fire-escape.” Defendent had leased the mill
to another party who hada tenantey from
year to year, and judgment was in favor of
defendent in the trial courton the ground
that he was not the owner of the mill. The
case, Sebott vs. Harney, was then carried to
the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, which
sustained the opinion of the lower court in
the following opinion: “It is to be regret-
ted that an act of so much importance, and
having so meritorious an object, should not
have been prepared with more care. Itisa
penal act, and can not be extended by impli-
cations beyond its terms. The plaintiff con-
tends that the ‘owner’ of the factory is the
Jand upon which the factory building stands.
But a manufactory is something more than
a building. It is only completed when there
is put into the building machinery; and the
duty of erecting fire-escapes attaches when
the operatives are brought in to work. To
whom does that duty attach? Clearly to the

FIRE

eratives in a position of danger, and enjoys
the benefit of their services. For all practi-
cal purposes he is the owner of the factory
until the end ofthis lease, which may run
for hundreds of years. We must decide that
he is the ‘owner’ of the factory, and that the
landlord is not liable.”

Not a Bad Failure.

From the New York Sun.

Jones.—‘No. Is it a bad failure?”

Smith.—Liabilities about $700,000, that’s
all.”

Jones.—‘‘That’s enough.
assets?”

Smith.—“Well, be is very much respected,
teaches a class in Sunday-school, is a deacon
in the church, never drinks or smokes, his
wife is a Hendrickhudsonvandusenbury, his
great-grandfather came over in the Mayflow-
er, his mother once shook hands with the
Prince of Wales, and his brother is an inti-
mate friend of Lord Mutanhed. Those are
all of his assets, I believe.”

Jones.—“Those are enough.

A Scrilegious Pun.

“My dear, did you hear that Deacon S.
fell asleep during the sermon last Sunday and
tumbled out of his pew?”

“T did not,” she said.
“Yes, it’s fact. The Deacon is a very lucky

,

What are his

man.’

“Why?” she asked.

“Because when he fell out of his pew he
struck aisle, you know.”

Then she looked at him, and the more she
looked the more uncomfortable he got. Fin-
ally he could stand it no longer.

“My dear,” he said humbly, “I beg your
pardon. A religious matter of that nature
is not a fit subject for jesting.”

I have secured the agency of Gilbert’s Starch
factories at Buffalo and Des Moines. Their goods
have always been regarded as equal to any of Hast-
ern Manufacturers, and have always held their own
in the Eastern States. I am now able to compete
with Western manufacturers in price and guaran-

tee quality.

BRISBIN OF BERLIN,

 

His Ofter of Compromise Rejected—Edi-
torial Observations.

In response to the call fora meeting of
the creditors of F. C. Brisbin, the Berlin
general dealer, representatives of six of the
thirty or forty houses interested assembled
at the place designated last Wednesday
afternoon, to listen to a proposition from
Brisbin’s attorney, Arthur Lowell, of Coop-
ersville. Mr. Lowell stated the reasons that
impelled his client to take the course he had,
related the circumstances surrounding the
utterance of the mortgages, berated the pub-
licity that had been given the matter through
THe TRADESMAN, and concluded by extend-
ing an offer of 20 per cent. in full settle-
ment. One of the creditors stated that he
would accept the offer if he thought that
was all there was in it, which he did nef.
Another volunteered the opinion that 50 per
cent. would be acceptable,fbut was unable to
speak, authoritatively, for all the creditors.
Mr. Lowell stated that he was not authoriz-
ed to go beyond the offer made, and the
meeting adjourned indefinitely.

Tue TRADESMAN acknowledges the receipt
of a pleasant call from Mr. Brisbin on the
day of the meeting. While inclined to take
exceptions to some of the statements made
relative to his late actions, he accepts the
criticisms made, as a whole, as_ both perti-
nent and deserved. He engaged in business
at Berlin with the determination to sell
goods at actual cost for six months or a
year, for the purpose of bringing to the town
a considerable patronage that went to Coop-
ersville and Grand Rapids. If the money
which was his stock in trade had _ been his
own, no one would question his rightto take
such a course, but as events have since prov-
ed, the money was borrowed from another
and Mr. Brisbin was thus jeopardizing the
property of his creditors. Being a stranger
to the town and surrounding country, and
not having the advantage of help who could
advise him in such matters, he naturally
trusted many men who are irresponsible and
from whom it will be immpossible to collect
any proportion of the accounts involved,
The advent of close times caught him with
many other accounts on his books which
would have been good under more favorable
circumstances, but which have been practi-
cally uncollectible for the past six months.
This condition of affairs tended to embar-
rass him, and instead of making a voluntary
assignment or executing a trust mortgage to
some one who would act for all the creditors,
he chose to make a Detroit dry goods house
and his own father-in-law preferred credi-
tors, giving mortgages that amount to a
practical shut-out for all the other creditors.
When asked by the editor of THE TRADES-
MAN why he did not take the former course,
he replied that pressure was brought to bear
upon him suddenly and unexpectedly, and
that he executed the mortgages without giv-
ing the subject a second thought. It is small
satisfaction to know that he ‘would not do
the same thing over again,” nor is it com-
forting to the creditors to learn that he
stated: “The fact of the matter is, I have
made a complete fizzle of the whole busi-
ness.”

It probably does not oecur to Mr. Brisbin
that in “selling goods at cost,” as he exult-
ingly expresses it, he has given the business
interests of the place a black eye from which
it will take along time to recover. To be
sure, he has drawn trade to the place by giv-
ing away his—or rather his creditors’—
goods, but it is not to be expect that the pat-
ronage he has created will continue to come
to Berlin, when the attraction ceases. Coun-
try people havea peculiar fascination for
buying goods “cheap,” no matter how far
they go or how great the expense involved but
as none of the other Berlin merchants seem
disposed to do business for fun, it is ex-
tremely unlikely that the town will continue
to maintain the reputation it has had the
past year. Besides this drawback, which in
itself amounts to a curse, Brisbin has injur-
ed the legitimate trade of the place, by
agreeing to sell goods lower than any of his
competitors. In the light of recent events,
it is plain to see how he could do so consist-
ently, for he never proposed to pay for them;
but the others, who meet their bills, have ex-
perienced no little difficulty in withstanding
such irresponsible competition.

Brisbin stated in THE TRADESMAN Office
that he proposed to remain in Berlin, but it
is learned from other—and more reliable—
sources that he will leave the place as soon
as he ean effect a settlement with his credit-
ors.

A note from Berlin says: ‘‘Brisbin now
appears on the street with a dashing pair of
trotters, and drives around the square in
Maud S. time. We look upon Brisbin as the
Vanderbilt of Berlin.”” Allof which goes
to show that the old adage about a prophet
being “not without honor save in his own
country” sometimes proves untrue.

Combination of Coal-Miners,

The miners employed in the colleries of
the bituminous and anthracite regions are
forming a powerful combination. The or-
ganization, under the name of the Miners’
Amalgamated Association, will absorb all the
associations that have been formed within
the last few years by the miners and __labor-
ers. The Amalgamated Association will
not confine its operations to the Pennsyl-
vania coal regions, but will extend its juris-
diction to Ohio and the other Western coal
fields. It is estimated that the membership
already reaches over 100,000, and it is con-
fidently believed by the organizers that a
membership of 200,000 will be secured by
next September. The leaders claim that
the new organization is merely for protec-
tive purposes, and is not intended to be ag-
gressive in its character or to ferment strikes.

The Michigan Tradesman,

Glimpse of a Soap Factory.
From the Detroit Free Press.

There aretwo prudent politicians and
public men in this city who are backed by a
very safe commodity whenever they wish to
retire to the obscurity of commercial life.
It isa soap factory and is located on the
Dix road near Twenty-fifth street, and the
two politicians are—but on second thought
we won’t tell.

The factory is a three-story building and
the younger branches of the family, who are
feeling their way along the stony paths of
commercial knowledge, run the institution
and oversee the soap-boiling. It is a large
business and employs a number of skilled
men who understand the practical part of
the work, turning ashes into lye, grease into
oil, and the whole matter into a fair article
of laundry soap.

“Do you use dead dogs and cats in your
manufacture?” asked the interested visitor,
whose nose was buried in a_ handkerchief,
and who kept safely out of range of the
boiling steamer.

“We do not,” responded Mr. “We
leave those luxuries to the sausage makers
and rival establishments. Our soap is all
made from cotton-seed oil, tallow, and the
purest grease. You need not fear the odor
—there isn’t any.”

In what appeared a be a bottomless
pit of concentrated lye, there was a writh-
ing sea of boiling soap—50,000 pounds. It
was drawn off from this intoa cooling ap-
paratus, called a crutcher, leaving the set-
tlings, technically called “the nigger,” in
the bottom of the big tank.

“How do you manage to have your soap
always the same?’’

“Our workmen see that the regular pro-
portions are used, but the soap does not al-
ways thicken and harden with the same
ease. Our soap boiler works at it until he
has it just right.”

“Does it make any difference about the
time of the moon?”

“No; this isn’t old woman’s soap.”

“Or the day of the week?”

“Our Friday soap is always the best; but
the soap gets sulky and has tantrums some-
times like everything else.”

a

Alabama this year has been distinguished
for the inauguration of heavy mining and
smelting enterprises.

Adam is said to be the only man who nev-
er tantalized his wife about “the way his
mother used to cook.”

Gladstone recently made the following
prophetic utterance: ‘Elevate the working
class by keeping your children in it.”

Puscher, the Nuremberg chemist, says a
paste composed of starch, glycerine and gyp-
sum will maintain its plasticity longer than
any other cement.

Only $543 was extracted from $144,000 as-
sets of Orange Judd, the agricultural editor,
For completeness this failiire comes next to
that of the Penn Bank.

In making infants’ shoes fifteen different
machines are used, costing between $250
and $400. These turn out ten pairs in the

- same time as one pair made by hand.

A single shoe manufactory in Massachu-
setts turns out by patent machinery in
twelve months as many pairs of boots and
shoes as 30,000 shoemakers in Paris make
by hand in the same period of time.

Stockings dyed with poisonous coloring
matter are rendered harmless to the wearer
by dipping the articles in a bath of rubber
dissolved in naptha or some other reagent.
Evaporation covers each fiber with a thin
film of rubber, preventing the transfer of the
dye from the fabric to the skin.

A Birmingham, England, physician has
invented an artificial sponge. It is made of
cotton, rendered absorbent, and treated with
antiseptics. One of its most important ad-
vantages is cheapness; this quality makes it
unnecessary to use it more than once, so that
“sponge infection” becomes an easily obviat-
ed evil.

Step by step the leading food products of
Europe are being reproduced in this country.
Macaroni is made by Italians in New York,
Neuchatel cheese by Swiss in New Jersey,
Schweizer kase by Germans in Ohio, Albert
biscuit by Englishmen in Albany, and cavi-
are by Russians in Harlem. Nearly all of
these are exported to Europe, and there sold
as domestic manufactures.

The process of removing the coloring mat-
ter from sugar was discovered in a curious
manner. A hen that had gone througha
clay-puddie went with her muddy-feet intoa
sugar-house. She left her tracks on a pile
of sugar. It was noticed that wherever the
tracks were the sugar was whitened. Ex-
periments were made, and the result was
that wet clay came to be used in refining sug-
ar

 

 

 

The plan of using the enormous water
power of the Alps for working electric rail-
ways in Switzerland is about to take a defin-
ite shape, the idea being to connect the towns
of St. Moritz and Pontresina by an electric
railway four and three-quarters miles long,
the motive power tobe supplied by the
mountain streams; the line, in case the plan
proves a success, to be extended a_consider-
able distance.

Anew York jobber, who was pestered to
death by continuous inquiries from visiting
buyers regarding the recent earthquake,
posted a placard reading as following in a
conspicuous place over his desk: “Yes, I
felt the earthquake. Idid not know it was
an earthquake; thought it was an ice wagon
or the Keely motor on a rampage. 1 was
not hurt; my family were not hurt; but the
next man who talks earthquake will be
hurt, This is a business office.”

 

Passengers Who Smoke.

“Since we have adopted the new style of
ears, we do not have much difficulty in keep-
ing smokers off the front platform,’ sqid a
street car conductor, “but when a man does
get on the front end of the car, our instruc-
tions are to go to him and politely tell him
that itis against the rules. Then we go
back to the rear platform and watch to see
how much that passenger cares for the rules.
Other passengers frown, cough, mutter,
and look atus threateningly. We are in
structed to approach the smoker a _ second
time and politely say, “If you please sir, it
is contrary to the rules tosmoke on _ this
platform.”

“Well, what then?” asked the reporter.

“Nothing.”

“But if the passenger continues smok-
ing?”

“Tet him smoke. The rules of the com-
pany are politely to request a* passenger
twice not tosmoke. Weare told not to get
into any controversy with passengers, and
on no account put them off.’

“Then they smoke?”’

“The hogs do.
