New York, April still remains dreadfully dull. This as been the stereotyped report from}, jobbers for so long that it would seem as if a change must soon come. The supplies in the interior must be much depleted and there cught to be something doing that cause more cheiuataiageen before Kut just now neither buyer nor er seems to have any animation matters are drifting. In store and afloat there are 3,257,000 bags, against 3.781,028 bags at the same time last year. At the Kio No. 7 is worth in an invoice way 8%4@83éc. Mild grades are very quiet. This is the active period of the year for the crop movement, but the United States seem likely to fall below the usual Ww i ] 1 eo ciose supply this year and probably not ever one-quarter of the supply will come here, if one may judge by the arrivals of the past two months. Hen- ry Nordlinger & Co. think the high cost of living has tended to cause a material decrease in the consump- tion of coffee and the greater use of chicory A number of enquiries as to sugar met with the same response, the ten- or of which is that practically no business is going forwart Maybe the aifecting the consumption well as. coffee. At any market is dull enough. Still dealers are not without hope and prices are generally well sustained. The rice market is quiet, but there is a more confident tone. Some pret- ty good quantities have been sent to Cuba, and this, with the information that a big mill in the South has pur- chased about 100,000 bags, point to a break in the deadlock so long ex- isting. Spices sell only in an everyday manner. The quantities taken are cnly sufficient to keep up assortments and neither buyer nor seller seem particularly interested. Quotations show no change. Molasses is firm and unchanged. The movement is small, as large as could be this season. Syrups lower. Sellers of canned tomatoes naturai- ly hesitate to part with their hold- ings of really standard 3s at 6234 f. o. b. Baltimore, and yet it seems rather hard work to get even this figure. If goods are sold at 60c they are taken with a grain of salt. Corn is quiet, but there is a little some- thing doing all the time at unchang- ed figures. Peas of the lower grades are showing some movement and other goods show little, if any, change one way or the other. Butter is firm and in good request.

Some of the Many Varieties of Drug Clerks. I have worked in a drug store in every capacity, from renovating vials to burning the frisky signature of the onto orders for prepaid ments of experience. I have everything, from falling through plate front while chamois thereto to demolishing the prescription department with incom- firm ship- done glass ne putting ee patibles and I assure you I am the man with the information. I know intimately every style and type of clerk extant; the few very rare spec- imens that I did not get wise to dur- ing my career dope disher for hire have all as been in my empl I became IT in a store of my own. Believe me, I am_ thoroughly con- versant with the habitat, part em- ployed and the price per of every model of cle young squz wants thi elegantly ms. thom tue c irpulent ub with a glass front, 1 who SLi nln ne « war >] - 7 Ssimo:cons 2a week, an irnished room with piano, and fhone, up to the ] ~ fa who would murder his best friend in cold blood if it con- served the interests of his employer. I have the sworn evidence on the young man who spends the wee small hours for flit and corks fly, with a of the aborigines of North America, who call any man a quitter who takes the count be- fore the feathered songsters of Na- ture begin to hand tion that chief a out the informa- An thar 7.

I am also next to the chap who gets | more amusement out of a vial of morphine quarters than a country boy at a circus, but permit me to say! 'that the most nauseous proposition that has bobbed since I began to in- hale iodoform is the lad who is pret- ity and can not help it and does not deny it, whose greatest delight is to hang for hours over the plate glass, whispering sweet nothings into the loving ear of the ninety-pound zum chewer who comes in to cook some trouble in the perfumery de- partment while a half-dozen farmers are stepping on each other’s and clamoring for an opportunity to up corns put a hot box on your cash register. Nixie to this one, he looks best to yours truly in traveling clothes, ac- count balanced and grips checked. There is another specimen, known in the books as the wise apprentice, who was reared in an overgrown vil- lage where the cotton patches crowd the corporate limits, a graduate of the high school who stood up at commencement and delivered a_ thir- ty-pazge thesis on the higher life, got a blue ribbon pinned on him, the same as a prize calf at a State Fair, and got away with a German silver medal larger than a dinner plate. Now childish store 1e avowed intention of eating game, the ideas of the proprietor, no matter how gray his hair, become null and void. When he a ripe experience of three weeks he and repair the Professor Remington as Joe and looks on Ho- ratio C. Wood and Dr. Hare as cheap when this bov puis away { and makes for a drug up the pharmaceutical 3 i¢ struggled through starts in to revise Pharmacopoeia, refers to amateurs whose work is too coarse for comparison. If you allow this one to run at large about your place you will soon find vourself eligible to the poor farm without examina- tion, and vour trade will be trying to make wholesale rates with the un- dertaker. When a woman sends her young hopeful down to the drug store for a dime’s worth of powdered golden seal this learnedly it up and labels it Hydratis canadensis, youngster puts and it is sent back promptly with 1 burning request to please return the dime, and she sends over to the other store where she gets what she wants. As an institution for wreck- le, putting the store under the and the in the ce of bugs this specimen grades Pp: AT; as a promoter of commercial sui- proprietor no — ~ oO cide he outshines the sunburst bar- ette in the peroxide locks of the heroine of a six shooter show. but a> a safe investment supposed to pay a dividend on his price per he is about the emptiest bluff since the passing of that historic warrior who made it so hot for the windmills. If ing a three hundred and sixty-five day contract engagement with a men- tal invalid of the above qualifica- {tions, pause and ponder well between {voluntary bankruptcy and suicide. If this one does not put you to the mat, do not worry, your is an automatic self-feeder and will run it- self. There is another would-be knight of the tile and spatula who looks like a Mark Haffer and Sharks fashion plate drawn by McCutcheon on the last paze of Hollier’s Weekly, whose mission on earth seems spend his waking hours in manicure parlors, blow his salary on massage artists and to try to make arrange- with the man of the tape and shears. One of his strong special- ties to glide out of the store at the side door and upstairs, where he climbs into his dainty Tuxedo rai- ment and after soaking his features the real Parisian article at two dollars the ounce, jamming his grad- uate hooks into a pair of undressed kids three sizes small, with a real wicked looking white handkerchief with a lavender border peeping from the second story window of his coat of the abbreviated narrative, he puts the combustion to the other end of one of those little cork-tipped affairs that smell so much like a im 2 harness factory, and he is off to call on Mabel, where he deals out a cheap line of chocolate coated conversation to the gleeful gladness of this gig- zling girlie, whose mental powers fail to distinguish between an ad- verb and an artichoke. They both agree that they are unable to. say whether or not Tolstoi was a De- troit third baseman or a new brand of breakfast food, but, to make a leng story short. they get their af- fection all up together and the young man of the peachy com- plexion gets his mind off the per- colator, the percentage solutions and business to be to ments iS in fire snarled the filter paper and begins a syste- matic study of rents and furniture, and finally decides to do it now. hits the head squeeze for a raise and gets the can, and when last heard from was shoveling Chile Concarne in a hash foundry down the street try- ing to keep Dolly Dimples in chew- ing gum and kimonos. And there is the clerk classified by the wizards of chemistry as belong- ing to the acetic family, who would ill an if could be into a pickling plant, but in store he sparkles about like at a banquet in that aristo- cratic city of baked beans. He looks aching void he steered 1 drug rug 2a hobo en the earth as though it were a large lemon that Fate had cast at his feet. he is unable to see good in anything and the unhappy glare he hands the trade makes his features look as though they were mad at each other, and from the way he gives think verge up pleasant words you would his talk factory was on the of a breakdown. He is usual- ly a successful szlesman with people who come in and ask for the zoods, but as a cincher of the trade of the indifferent he is a bitter joke on his employer, who if he did the square thing would charge his salary to loss. As a dispenser of human kindness, you should ever find yourself play- antries which inspire confidence which is the life of business, he fails to qualify. It is rumored that to the present writing he has had at least a thousand jobs, his very looks and actions are calculated to give the man who stands for his salary a deep seated case of James Jams and make him feel as if he had a grass burr in his up Hamilton Brown and a bone felon on his brain, while the young man in his own estimation is amply able to handle any pharma- ceutical fly that is batted up to him and wham it in home in time to head off the score. It would be unfair to conclude without mentioning another speci- men of clerk that has come my way: The youth to whom I refer is the one who has demolished a good strong voice asking for more salary. He is the one who hits you for a raise be- fore he has been with you long enough to ascertain the present whereabouts of the Epsom salts bar- rel and one of his favorite stunts is parading his superior knowledge of chemical nomenclature to the crowd of town sweaters that are wont gather around him while he hands out real hot information to the ef- fect that so far as the Latin lan- guage concerned he has Homer backed into a siding waiting for or- ders. his to is He is very fond of arranging features before the camera and endeavoring to get one of his profiles into every niche and corner of the store as well as into all the best homes in town. He is the wise boy who is always plugging for an op- portunity to argue anatomy with the cldest physician in town; in fact, he is known in the annals of human botany as a verdant plant thriving well in his own estimation, of little use to pharmacy, under the Latin official title Butinski, he is one of the leaks to business that a National cash register won’t stop. Now as to the great army of good old everyday clerks, who hand you back a hundred cents’ worth of serv- for every dollar they draw, I have little to say. What is the use? Everybody knows them; they guard our interests with the faithfulness of @ Roman and the tenacity of a bull deg. To-day as many of you are here to enjoy the hospitality of this good old town and that pleasant fellow feeling that comes from mix- ing with people with whom you have something in common, a faithful clerk is no doubt working longer hours that you may enjoy this out- ing and that your busines may have the vigilant care of a faithful clerk that guarantees to you that not even ice the slightest detail shall suffer from lack of attention. For this latter class the worst thing I have is a boost, a friendly slap on the should- er, a God speed and all the salary the business and _ conditions stand. For the others I will say that when I find myself sand bagged by one of these freaks, if I can persuade him to travel he is at liberty to tear trans- portation out of my book, although he leaves a balance in red in the will and a purveyor of those little pleas- right hand column of my diary for deadbeats.

If in spite of this action on the part of the British Government China in granting the concession for the proposed railroad, a situation will be created in the Far East which this country is already pledged to play some part in, at least diplomat- ically, as our State Department has already pledged itself to further by diplomatic expedient possible the success of the proposed railroad enterprise. In just what shape oppo- sition oe an active sort might arise to the construction of the road re- mains to be seen. It does not seem likely that Great Britain would see fit to take any active steps, but either Russia or Japan might, and _ either could claim British moral support in the light of Sir Edward Grey’s an- nouncement in Parliament that the Government felt compelled to adhere to the agreement with Russia. China is in no sense bound by treaties be- persists tween Russia and England to which she is not a party, but it is conceiv- able that China might need the strongest kind of moral support to encourage her to run counter to both Russia and Great not to mention Japan. Britain, PREVALENCE OF PERJURY. According to Samuel Untermeyer, | a coun-| a New York attorney with try-wide reputation, the prevalence cf false swearing is so general in the courts of this country that the courts are compelled to take cogni- zance of such a condition. This state- ment was made in an address deliv- ered on the administration of criminal law before the Academy of Socta! and Politica! Science at Philadelphia. “It has and I think rightly,” he declared, “that the crime cf perjury is committed in at least three out of every five cases tried in the courts in which an issue of fact is involved. It has become so gen- eral that the courts regard it almost as a part of the inevitable accom- paniment of a trial.” This an almost incredible condition of affairs, yet the statement has been made by a man who is well aualified according to reputation to know whereof he speaks. One of the reasons why false swearing so prevalent, according to Mr. meyer, is because the crime punished. The very severe which the law imposes make it difficult to secure conviction, as juries are loath to impose such heavy penalties for an offense which does not appear to them sufficiently been said, seems is Unter- is so seldom penalties serious to merit a maximum punish- ment of twenty years at hard labor. | It is suggested as a partial remedy | that juries in criminal cases be com- pelled to accompany their verdict by a statement that any particular wit- ness has been guilty of willful false swearing and that it be made the duty of the prosecuting officer to take action when perjury has_ been so charged. That perjury was frequently _ re- sorted to in criminal cases has been long generally believed, but few sus- pected that the practice was so alarmingly prevalent as the prom- inent New York lawyer claims it to be. SUPERFLUOUS LEGISLATION. The present session of Congress has developed something like 22,000 bills, of which only a very small proportion are likely to be enacted into law. The great majority of these bills will die in committee; in fact, it is safe to say that only a very small portion of them will ever be even read by the committees to ‘which they have been referred. Thre is some tendency to rail against legislation by committee, but, as a matter of fact, no progress at all would be possible if the committee system were obliterated. Most of the bills introduced are utterly valueless, hence were all to be considered in turn the good measures would be hopelessly swamped by the poor and indifferent. With Congress grinding out laws annually, and with forty-six state legislatures doing the same _ thing, SS RR ENCE ARTERIOLE TIRE IA A TERT TE code of laws is becoming so bulky and complicated that most of the acts are entirely forgotten and therefore inoperative. At the same time one of the results of this constant law- making is a great increase in litiga- tion in an unnecessary multiplication of courts and judges and in a use- ess multiplication of officials Our system has re- and public servants. sulted in a greater number of mag- istrates and judges in a big city like New York than can be found in the whole of England, in all probability. Instead of constantly grinding out new laws our Congress and state leg- would be more _ profitably employed in repealing many of those supposed to be in force, or which, if enforced, do more harm than good. The country sadly overgoverned, yet would be better governed with a less complicated machinery and few- laws. RAISE THE CRY OF “WOLF.” If the press despatches as to Sen- ator Aldrich are well founded, that eminent statesman has decided, be- yond peradventure, to decline a re- election to the United States Senate. Paradoxical as it may appear, those same press despatches quote the great student of finance and every- thing relating thereto as expressing doubts as to his retirement. Aldrich is the author of the islatures is er grave Mr. | National Monetary Commission and ithe currency bill and his great ambi- tion during the past twenty years has been to achieve the education of the American public to a revision of the Nation’s monetary system. Mr. Aldrich is a fighter—he loves la good square and fair fight and, by no means in his dotage or an invalid, in the common acceptation of the term, he is not the man to desert the great cause he has so clearly develop- ed. Thus it is that there are hun- dreds of thousands of sturdy, confi- dent and_ skillful business men throughout the land who will decline to accept the story of his retirement. Naturally the contradictory reports in this case are seized upon by the Congressional insurgents to raise the cry “Wet,” “Mr. Aldrich may _ resign,” they say; “very likely he will in order to quiet the uproar over his alleged domination of the Senate; but, with all of his splendid intellectual equip- ment, his tremendous financial, in- dustrial and political influence, he will still remain the ‘man behind the gun.’ As an ex-Senator he will have every privilege in the halls of Congress and it is an entirely safe conclusion that the Senators who have been loyal to him through the years that have passed will remain his faithful sub- jects and followers.” BUGINGEES CHANCES.
