ORDERS PROMPTLY FILLED THE MERRY MERCHANT. He Gets the Gift Grocery Scheme on the Brain and Pays Off an Old Debt. Written Expressly for THE TRADESMAN. The corner grocer filled a clay pipe from a broken package of tobacco and sat down in front of the store to smoke. “T haven’t sold a dollar’s worth of goods to-day,” he said, peppering with tobacco smoke a noisy fly which seemed bound to light on his rosy nose, ‘but I have had opportunities to buy more than ten million dollars worth.” A farmer who had driven in for a plow point and a farmer who had just sold his wife’s butter and eggs to supply himself with whisky and tobacco, drew their chairs closer to the merchant, and one of them asked how that came about. ‘How did that come about?” repeated the merchant; “if you knew anything of the na- ture, habits and general eussedness of the average Grand Rapids drummer = you wouldnt ask that. Why, those Grand Rap- ids drummers The worthy merchant sat bolt upright in his chair with his eyes fixed on the bushy margin of the field at the end of the village street. His companions cast their eyes in the same direction, and in a moment saw a man with a fancy spring suit almost completely covered with sample cases strapped on in front and behind, under each arm and on both hips, creep laboriously out of the thick- et and appear in the open field. “Talk of the dev—angels and you hear the rustle of their wings,” said the merchant with the air of a man who had given up all hope and was ready for the worst: ““That’s a Grand Rapids drummer?” The farmers moved their chairs back and allowed that it was about time to go home. “Yon needn't go on his account, gentle- men,” said the grocer. “Ordinarily it is not dangerous to encounter a Grand Rapids drummer at this time of the year. I don’t know where this one came from, but Plibet a brick block to a clothes pin that there’s a new store out that way somewhere and he’s sneaked out there on foot and sold the pro- prietor goods enough to last him seventeen years. He looks like the man who loaded me up with canned fish a year ago. lve got the cellar full now. Never sold enough to get the freight money back. 1 ate ‘em myself until [ began to lose money by it on account of the fins that began to grow out tearing my underelothes. If that’s the man, he’s a daisy to sell fish. If he'd a-been in Jonah’s place he’d a steered that whale into Jerusalem and made him make an afiidavit to the purity of his own flesh be- fore he cut him up and loaded the stock on 33 of ’em country grocers.” In a few minutes the drummer was Un- strapping his sample cases on the shady platform where the grocer sat. “Youwre only the tenth drummer Pve met to-day,” observed the merchant, re-filling his pipe, ‘‘but you needn’t let that discour- age you—go right on unpacking.” The drummer did keep right on unpack- ing. ‘When I came down this morning,” the grocer, ‘‘I found a man sitting on tha box where you just put those coffee sam- ples. He was selling baking yowder—none of your common baking powder, buta patent rise-at-once compound — that bound to make its way in the world. He said he was out a little early on account of his having got a little of it under the mattress when he hid his watch and money last night, and about four o’clock this morning the confounded stuff rose and tipped him out of bed.” The drummer was down to the bottom of the last case by this timeand asked the gro- cer to take a cigar while he put his samples in order. “He gave away a gold watch with every gross sold,” continued the merchant, set- tling back into a comfortable attitude, ‘‘and warranted it to run for thirty years. Of course I knew the wateh was all right and T had no reason to doubt the veracity of the circulars he carried stating that a million gold watches had been distributed within the past year, but I did’t buy any. My roof leaks a little and I was afraid it would get damp on my hands and blow up the store.” The drummer drew a long breath and seemed anxious to get down to business, but the merchant held the floor. ‘The next man that camealong,” he went on, “had some kind of never-give-out plug tobacco. He puta silver dollar into every tenth package. All you had to do was to pay ten cents for every tenth plug and be ninety cents ahead. He had the kind of to- bacco that children ery for, and one good little boy down east, by carefully investing all his Sunday school money in plug tobacco, had drawn dollars enough to raise the mort- age on his poor but honest fathers’s farm.” The drummer lit a fresh cigar and took up a handful of cofiee as a text to talk from. “The next man,” went on the grocer, “had tea, with a dozen solid silver spoons in every caddy. You’ve been on the road long enough to know how tea men talk when there’s a dozen silver spoons some- where in the lot. Perhaps you’ve got some of the same kind there?” said is oO oO | | y drummer was standing The drummer was. still arranging his | samples, but a good many of them w re | finding their way back into the cases. He | looked up with a hopeful expression on his | face at being allowed to get a word in and said that he had none of that kind with him, | but he had. “Neyer mind,” said the merchant encour- | agingly, ‘perhaps you will have the next | time youcome. The man I buy sugar of puts a deed of a Chicago corner lot in every barrel, and the last starch I bought had an order for a suit of clothes at the bottom of the box. If you hear of a man that gives away pianos with stick candy just steer him up this way. I’ve made arrangements to give away a cireus ticket with every bar of soap, and I must get even someway. I heard the other day that the new minister to Russia drew his appointment in a box of parlor matches, and if you hear of any of that kind in the market ue The drummer was packing up. He look- ed tired and disgusted and he dropped the samples into the cases as though they were all loaded with cholera germs. “Perhaps,” observed the grocer, ‘vou think I'm going this gift racket pretty strong? Well, you wholesale fellows start- edit, and I’m going to keep right on if it does demoralize trade. If you meet aman down the road with a green coat and one eye, you can tell him Vil take the ease of wooden shoes he offered, if he’ll putin two chances for a third interest in his firm in- If you meet the plow man at stead or one. the hotel——” But the drummer had again harnessed himself with his sample cases and was mak- ing his way rapidly toward the opposite side of the street. The merchant went to the back end of the store and rolled over on a pile of grain bags and shook his sides and grew red in the face. When he caught his breath and got back to the door again the in the hotel door pointing toward the store. “The more L look at that man,” mused the grocer, ‘“‘the more he reminds me of the man who loaded me up with canned fish.” And he communed with himself at the rear end of the store again. Stepping Stones to Success. Learn your business thoroughly. Keep at one thing—in nowise change. Always be in haste, but never in a hurry. Observe system in all you do and under- take. » Whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing well. One to-day is worth two to-morrows. Be self-reliant; do not take too much ad- vice, but rather depend on yourself. ‘Never fail to keep your appointments,, nor to be punctual to the minute. Never be idle, but keep your hands or mind usefully employed except when sleep- ing. Use charity with all; be ever generous in thought and deed—help others along life’s thorny path. Make no haste to be rich; remember that small and steady gains give competency and tranquility of mind. He that ascends a ladder must take the lowest round. All who are aboye were once below. —

Many of these are excellent im- itations. It is not charged that the stamps are used for mailing purposes, but to deceive the public. He will endeavor to have them excluded from the mails. “Beg your pardon,” said the grocer, “but this is a bad bill.” ‘‘Well, I can’t help it,” replied the customer coolly; “T didn’t make it. AndI reckon that neither you nor I could make a better one.” A Problem of To-Day. id Swing in the Current. Phe absolute calamity of man should come Day only when the population of the world is too | large for the productive power of all the soil. Some land must be set aside for sup- porting buildings, some for roads and streets, some for the growth of cotton, flax, | and wool; the immense remainder is avail- able for the growth of food. human family outgrow the clothing and grain areas of the planet then hard times would be a necessity. But while the earth shall continue abundantly able to feed and clothe all its children, povery is an accident | and not a necessity. Only a small part of the globe is cultivated, and much of that has been cultivated in the poorest possible manner. Even in the United States, where farming is yearly becoming a science, there is almost as much land in the Middle States to be reclaimed as there is in the far West to be opened for the first time to cultivation. Virginia, Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, and nearly all the South, compose one large ex- ample of an agriculture but little better than’ that of Turkey or Palestine. As to its power to produce food and eloth- ing for man, Earth is still as fresh and able as she was ten thousand years ago. If any members of the human myriads are short of food and elothing the fault is in the oecu- pant of the world and not in the globe itself. Our troubles would pass away if a few mil- lions of those who have no pay for work would do that kind of work for which the soil would be paymaster. How can carpen- ters secure pay when there are not enough men who need carpenters? How can weay- ers secure wages when we all have the fab- ries we need? How ean the Irishman’s shovel find work and pay when the railroads are built and the money for cleaning gutters is all spent? How can all the clerks find work when there are ten clerks for each eight-by-ten-store or office? How can all the teachers find schools when there are ten teachers for each country school-house? When there are no men to make any pay- ment for our form of labor then we must turn aside from man as our paymaster and ask Nature to be the employer. ‘That instead of bartering our ‘‘school-teaching” or our “weaving” or our ‘‘elerking” or our “brickmaking”? for corn, wheat, and pote- toes, we must turn to the ground and raise them. Unable to buy any land we must rent some acre or acres, for we must live, and there is life in the ground. Virginia comprises twenty-four millions of acres of land, of which eight millions are under cultivation. Assuming that there is one more third capable of being cultivated we have eight millions of acres of land, un- der one of the best skies in the world, wait- ing for humanity to come to them for food, shelter, and clothing. And yet in that very State there will be found ten ‘‘darkies” to is, the small village who are expecting money to come from whitewashing among hotses which do not believe in the art, and ten oth- er darkies vill be found hoping fOr a Teve- nue from blacking shoes in places where the men barefooted. But how do_ these whitewashing ‘‘darkies” of the South differ from the whites in the North, who desire to be book-agents in towns where shot-guns and cross dogs are awaiting the canvasser? How differ from the whites who wish to shovel a hundred tons of coal for the family which has had difficulty in paying for a few baskets full “little egg”? Virginia would supply a bountiful table for a million of these hopeless seekers of something from nothing. Going to the land for support they would find how much better it is to ex- pect something from nothing. Ohio could take a million, Indiana a mill- ion of these persons who are earrying some form of industry for which there is no de- In Paris there was a reason for a - go of mand. procession headed by a girl carrying on a banner the ominous word, ‘‘Bread.” ‘There industry had been long defrauded by politi- eal crime. But in America, where industry has made great blunders only, and has made ten clerks to one farmer and ten girl-canvas- sers for one girl-gardener or girl-farmer, the procession ought indeed to march once again, and should carry once more the de- viee, “Bread,” but the march should move with musie toward the idle fields where Bread is wont to grow. here are millions that ery out for money. But they do not need money. If they had it they would spend it for food and clothes. The erises is met when these persons have resolyed to raise bread and clothes out of the soil. Money then ceases to be a necessity. Many of us older men remember when in all the pockets, trunks, drawers and old stock- ings in the farmhouse all the police in the world could not have found a dollar of money, but memory recalls a table loaded with abundance, and with even such delica- cies as coffee, sugar, and m olasses, pur- chased by barter. Most of the clothing was made at home. In those days money was not a god. The great fields of wheat and corn, the garden, the chickens, the flocks were the forms which the money-god took forty years ago. Some currency was needed at tax-paying time, but the schoolmaster boarded around, and a part of all salaries and wages was paid in things from the land. Should the | When one looks out upon the vacant mil- | lions of acres in the Nation, and then locks | atthe number of the poor, the feeling comes i that they need not be poor. The mental | eare and the actual walking about seek | work involve more real labor than would be | required to entice a good living out of the | fields. The difficnity of the case is that of | causing the millions who are almost bread- less to turn to the growing of grains. Farm- ing is not only a science andan art, but it is also a taste, and hence to carry new mil- lions from town streets the fields isa heavy task. But many thousands can pass from city life to farm life, and should do so to to in these years of mechanical and clerical ex- cess. The farm offers support, home and happiness to many millions besides those now living among plows and hoes. For a thousand years to come, if the climates of the earth remain what they are to-day, the agricultural life will stand asa refuge for millions who may desire to flee froma social wrath to come. ————__ ~~ © > — The Requisites to Success. Correspondence Boot and Shoe Record. While I was in St. Paul I dropped into a shoe store, and while in conversation with the proprietor, a lady came in and asked to be shown a pair of shoes. The proprietor immediately left me and escorted the lady to a seat; he then called up one of the salesmen and told him what the lady desired, when he resumed his seat by my side, but kepta close wateh on the door and every customer that entered he would rise and receive them personally, after which they were passed over to the care of the clerks. When the purchases were concluded and the customers ready to depart, he would see them to the door and thank them for their custom, with a request to eall again. This way of doing business rather attracted my attention, and Lasked him if he always made a practice to look after his trade in this way. ‘‘Always,” he replied. ‘‘I consider it my duty to re- ceive my customers personally when possi- ble. Don’t you know, they always like to have attention from the proprietor? I think T qve part of my success in business to this little bit of courtesy.” When I left this man I thought this would be something to write about to the Recorder, and let its readers chew it over. I have been in shoe stores where the proprietor could be found | seated at the rear of the store smoking a | pipe or cigar, his feet stretched up on a chair, and his customers enter and stand around waiting to be looked after. Polite- ness, attention and care are the requisities for the retail shoe dealer to insure him the road to suecess. Follow these up and they will prove a boon to you. a Maine’s Gum Crop. From the Portland Press. This is a great gum year in Maine, espec- jally on the Penobscot, and now that the sun is Climbing up into the North againa little and the lumbermen are coming out, the air is fairly redolent with the perfume of spruce. The are not the only valuable parts of the great tim- ber tree, for the gum is worth considerable eyen in its rough state, just as it is hacked logs, knees and bark Sy from the erotches of old trees. There are two or three firms in Maine which buy large quantities of it from lum- bermen and gum hunters, for the purpose of refining it, as they but as a general thing, the reflning consists in adulteration with resin. They throw it intoa big Kettle, bark and all, and bojl it into about the con- sistency of thick molasses, skimming the Say; impurities off as they rise to the surface. Then, if the purpose be to adulterate, some lard or grease and a lot of resin are added, and in some cases a little sugar. The mix- ture then becomes thicker, and, after more stinfing, is poured out on a where, while it is yet hot, it is rolled out in a sheet about a quarter of an inch thick, and then chopped with a steel die into pieces half an inch wide and three-quarters of an inch These pieces are wrapped in tissue There slab, long. paper and packed in wooden boxes. are 200 pieces in a box. Some guin is treated in this way without adulteration. ‘fhe best gum comes from no particular locality, but always from the big- gest trees.

Office in Eagle Building, 49 Lyon St., 3d Floor. Telephone No. 95, (Entered at the Postoffice at Grand Rapids as Second-class Matter. 1 ~ WEDNESDAY, JUNE 24, 1885, A GREAT INDUSTRY. The Production of Coal Oil One of Our Mammoth Enterprises. The consumption of coal oil, remarks the Indianapolis Journal, is constantly increas- ing. Fifteen thousand barrels are required to supply the daily demand in the United States. Most of this comes from the oil re- gions of western Pennsylvania. It is con- veyed to the seaboard—mainly to Baltimore, Philadelphia and Jersey City—through six- inch mains, three or four hundred miles long, carried underground. Thirty million barrels are now stored above ground in huge iron tanks, and over 60,000 barrels of crude oil flow from the earth daily. The oil is distilled from tanks holding 1,200 barrels each. The distillate is divided into three portions—the lightest, colorless portion which comes over first, and is known as crude naptha, or ‘‘benzine,” the middle por- tion, or ‘‘kerosene,” and lastly the heaviest portions of the distillate, containing paraf- fine and known as “‘paraffine oils.” The _ ‘“benzine” is again distilled and separated into ‘“‘gasoline” and into A, B and C nap- tha; these are used in gas machines, for mix- ing paints, and also for burning in lamps and stoves. The kerosene proper is purified by agitat- ing with 5 per cent. of strong sulphuric acid, which combines with the offensive matters, forming a black tarry residue which sinks to the bottom of the tank and is known as “sludge.” It is used in large quantities in th manufacture of commercial fertilizers. The oil is again washed with strong caustie soda solution, destroying all acid com- pounds. It is again washed with water, ‘is made nearly colorless, and has the peculiar odor of kerosene and the slight opalesence of these oils. These are the ‘‘highest” ker- osenes. The test of an oil Whether ‘“‘high” or ‘‘low,” is the temperature on Fahreheit’s seale to which a half a pint of it must be heated to give off a sufficient amount of in- fl€A£Mmmable vapor to either flash or burn. *‘Low-test” oils give off a vapor that will burn when heated from 70 to 90 degress, Fahrenheit; highest flash at 120 degrees to 140 degrees. No oil that gives off vapors that will flash when a burning match is held over the oil heated at 100 degrees is safe for any legitimate use. The temperature at which the oil itself will take fire is of no importance as an indication of safety, al- though this is not infrequently used. The third product of distillation is the dense, thick oil left in the still. This is called ‘reduced petroleum,” and is drawn off and used for lubrication. The oils sold in the markets are roughly divided into three kinds—first, the ‘‘normal,” or high- test oil, which represents the middle distil- late; second, the ‘‘erocked oils,” and third, various mixtures of crocked and normal oils. Crocked oils are made from the dense oils left after the naptha and illuminating oils have been removed. The dense oils are heated for several hours above their boiling points, and by this process of destructive distillation are separated into a light oil and a carbonaceous residue. Crocked oils con- tain too much earbon in proportion to their hydrogen; they are not inert to chemical agents like the norma Hence, when they are washed with sulphurie acid they take up sulphurous acid, which, on burning, gives off in the room the fumes of sulphur oxide. The wick easily clogs, and becomes charred and coated with crusts of carbon. The last third, or even half, of the oil in the reservoir becomes myrky; the burner, lamp and oil become heated, and the flame dense and smoky; the lighter oils are chang- ed into vapor above the surface of oil in the reservoir, and taking fire from the flames eauses the explosion and destruction of the oils. lamp. The pipe-line oils flow from two great oil districts, which represent two extremes in quality. These two oils are mixed in man- ufacture. The Butler-Clarion District, or “lower country,” as it is called in Butler and Clarion counties, gives an oil contain- ing but a small proportion of the heavy paraffine oils, while the product of the Bradford district has a large proportion of the poorer, heavy oil. Three-fourths of the crude oil flowing into the pipe-line comes from the Bradford wells. As a result, the best brands of oil on the market have deter- jorated until it is difficult if not impossible, to purchase an article of burning oil as good as the best offered on the market a few years ago. Any improvement in the quality of kero- senes must come from the opening of wells giving a superior quality of crude oil, which is not likely, or from the introduction of different and better methods of separating and refining. But this, of course, would in- crease the cost of the oil. The present laws relating to the test for oil are of little value, and vary in the different states equal to the | divorce laws. There is a rich field for seien- tific investigation here on the part of the general government, ending, perhaps, in gome national legislation, to be followed by a revision of state and municipal legislation and the enactment of uniform laws. | WHOLESALE PRICE CURRENT.

An interesting question was raised in the recent case of the United States vs. Badger in the United States Cireuit Court at Bos- ton—namely, as to whether the United States government protects letters after they have been delivered intoa private box which the person to whom they are directed has authorized. The court ruled in this case, in which the defendant was tried for embez- zling letters, that the United States protects letters until they reach the person to whom they are addressed, and that a delivery into a box such as that described above is not a) delivery to the person. AND CREDITOR—P?REFERENCES— FRAUD. DEBTOR In the case of Bouton vs. Smith et al. the | Supreme Court of Illinois held that the pay- | ment to one stockholder of a private corpor- ation for advances or loans made by him to the corporation, and interest thereon, by the transfer of notes and account, was not fraudulent as to other creditors of the cor- poration, being at most a preference of one ereditor over others, which the law allows, but that the payment by an insolvent cor- poration to a stockholder of a demand which was not a legal subsisting debt eapable of being enforced by suit, was a mere gift, and fraudulent as to bona fide creditors. PATENT—INFRINGEMENT—USER. Where the defendant bought from abroad articles which, if made in England, would be an infringement of the plaintiff's patent, and used them in his laboratory for the pur- | pose of experimenting and instructing his pupils, allowing them to ex xamine them and pull them to pieces, they being cheaper the plaintiff's patented article, which he said he could not afford to buy for such a pur- pose, the Chancery Division of the High | Court of Justice (England) held that such a | user was a user for the advantage of the de- fendant, and consequently an infr ingement | of the plaintiffs patent. VOLUNTEERED SERVICE CONTRACTS. The Supreme Court of Michigan held in the recent case of Scott vs. Maier that an architect who volunteered his services with the chances of future employment could not , recover for preliminary sketches which were | not accepted on the basis of a percentage on the probable cost of the building. The | court said that whether there had been any agreement to reward the architect for his trouble or not, evidence of a custom of ar- | chitects to base a charge for such prelimin- projected ary work on their estimates of buildings could not be received to determine the amount of the defendant's liability in the absence of a contract assenting to such custom. CONTRACTS—MUTUAL UNDER- STANDING. In the case of the First National Bank of Lyons vs. The Oskaloosa Packing Co., the Supreme Court of Iowa added still another to the Jong list of recent decisions holding that when the parties to an executory con- tract for the sale of property intend that there shall be no delivery thereof, but that GAMBLING the transaction shall be settled by the pay- | ment of the difference between the contract price and the market price of the commodi- ty at a time fixed, the contract is void, but that it must be shown, by a preponderance of the evidence, that both parties to the con- tract intended that it should be by a mere payment of differences, by a delivery of the property. OF COMPANIES—LIEN JUDG- MENT. RAILROAD Section 1309 of the Iowa Code, providing | that a judgment against a railroad company | for injury to persons or property should bea lien, within the county where mortgage by the debtor, and that such ar- rangement was not fraudulent as to other than preformed | and not | recovered, on | creditors of the debtor. ABATEMENT OF ACTION—-PARTNERSIUP. An action brought by the members of a firm for slander of its financial condition and eredit does not abate by the death of one of the plaintiffs pending suit, according to the decision of the New York Supreme Court in the case of Shale vs. Minges, of which a note appears in the Albany Law Journal. The court said, in giving judg- ment: The question is novel, and must be disposed of on principles deemed applicable to the nature of a partnership and the relation of the surviving members to it. * * # * On tho death of one of several members of a partnership no personal rep- resentative takes his place in respect to the partnership property. He by the event is taken out of the firm, and a dissolution is the consequence, but practically the disso- lution has relation only to subsequent busi- ness transactions to a qualified extent. While the agency in the surviving members is so qualified that they cannot create any new obligations or liabilities, their relation to the situation in which the death of the member left the property and business en- ables them respectively to manage and con- trol its affairs as fully and completely as be- fore. * * The joint relation of the survivors is not broken into a tenancy in common by such death, nor are their rela- tion and equities impaired by it. The prop- erty of the firm does not, nor do any rights of action in respect to its matters pass to any representative of the partnership. It and all the then existing rights of the firm continue in the survivors, and are theirs at ‘law the same as they had been prior to the | death of the one member; the property and rights of all united. And to that extent, and PURE Oranges, Lemons, Bananas, Figs, Pula & BPO0Ks, Wholesale Manufacturers of AND DEALERS IN NU'TS, EG TE C. for all practical purposes limited as before mentioned, it may be said that the place prior to that event filled by the three is after such death occupied by the two survivors.

News and Gossip Furnished by Our Own Correspondents. Mecosta. June 18—J. D. Champion completed his lum- ber cut about two weeks ago. He has a two years’ shingle cut still on hand, and is running full force. A. W. Lobdell & Co. have bought the Atkin- son shingle mill, two miles northeast of Me- costa, and are putting the same in repair, with a view to starting up again soon. D. O’Brien is building a new saloon, 24x80 feet in dimensions. Flint. June 20—As a matter of trade news, you can record the fact that Geo. T. Warren will act as President of the Day atthe celebration here on the Fourth. Warren’s cigar band of eighteen pieces, composed entirely of work- men in his factory, will also participate in the parade. Hart. June 20—C. M. Covell has engaged in the manufacture of hemlock shingles. He shipped the first carload a week ago to-day. It is probable that the Hesperia carding mill will be removed to Hart, Lewis Martin, the proprietor, having nearly completed the ne- gotiations for the transfer. H. Johnson has bought out the Jackson news stand. Hart is one of the few villages in Northern Michigan that is growing. In addition to the fine brick block that was erected last season, there is another store going up on the south end of it, built by the Wigton Bros. of the same dimensions and general appearance as that just completed. The ‘Loan Association,” @ joint stock company just organized, whose principal stock holders are E. D. Richmond, W. E. Ambler and L. N. Keating, is building a fine office, opposite the court house, at a cost of $3,000, and will probably begin business about July 1. In the new block are W. E. Thorpe, dealer in dry goods, groceries, boots and shoes. O.W. Knox his neighbor on the north, also handles a similar line. The interior of his store is perhaps the finest finished of any in this part of the State. The Citizens’ Ex- change Bank, composed of F. J. Russell, A. S. White and J. K. Flood, has a fine office in the block. The north end and the second floor are intended for a hotel, but the men who would make good landlords are disposed to think there is a good deal of a big elephant in it. The Palmiter block was built last season, and attracts the attention of the stranger, with its three stories and basement. Init are housed John F. Widoe, the clothing dealer, and F. W. Fincher & Co., druggists, new comers. Above, on the second floor is the Argus office, the Sword of the Spirit and Odd Fellows’ hall. In the third floor is a fine opera hall. Hartford. S. F. Warren, dealer in general merchandise, | expects to occupy his new brick block about | July 4. Osborne Bros., at present located in Keeler, lw ill occupy the store vacated by S. F. Warren | and engage in general trade. Jake Oppenheim, clothier, will soon occupy | the new brick, lately built by L. S. Northrup. Muskegon. June 22—The Boom Co. disbursed $9,000 to its employes Saturday. | was for two weeks’ work. | The brick work on O. Lambert’s new block, on Pine street, is nearly completed. M. Levine is opening a clothing store on Western avenue, inthe building recently oc- cupied by Vanderwerp’s hardware establish- ment. Jokn Torrent has purchased the sawmill and plant of the Beidler Manufacturing Co., and will shortly put the same in operation. John Campbell has been granted a patent on a log loader, and F. W. Notter has secured a patent on a machine for binding lath. Muskegon is noted for the kicking propensi- ties of her merchants, but we are now asked to swallow an indignity which sticks in our throats. Until recently, we have had the ad- vantage of Chicago rates—the same as Grand Rapids—on all Eastern freight, but about two weeks ago the C. & W. M. Railway issued an order directing that all through freight be charged extra from Grand Rapids and Ferrys- burg. If billed direct, the charge is eight cents per hundred and four cents in car lots, but if that precaution is not taken local rates are charged. The reason given by the C. & W. M. for resorting to an arbitrary proceeding of this kind is that the percentage meted out to their road is too small to admit of hauling the freight; but we never heard any complaint when the rates are double what they are ndw, and the C. & W, M. reaped a rich harvest from its Muskegon business. Great is the logic of railway monopolists! about The same Luther, June 22—C. W. Conant, of Manistee, has open- ed a photograph gallery here. J. Ball, from Baldwin, has opened a barber shop in the Sabin House block. W. B. Pool, the hardware merchant, is build- ing a two-story addition on the rear of his store, 20x32 feet in dimensions. Big Rapids, June 22—John Caulfield is in the city, attend- ing to business in connection of his house. D. L. Garling, lately of Shankwiler & Gar- ling, proprietors of Mecoesta Mills, contem- plates the purchase and improvement of the Remus flouring mill. Should the purchase be made, Mr. Garling will expend $1,000 in im- provements. Dr. Cutler settles at Chippewa Lake in the interest of the Chippewa Lumber Co. or -0 a . Good Words Unsolicited. | L. R.

Chase, Michigan representa- tiv e for Chase & Sanborn, of Boston, has gone to the Hub for an interchange of cour- tesies with his house, after whieh he will put in a couple of months on Cape Cod. Walter Scott Horn is the latest aspirant for notoriety liar. According to his version of the matter, he caught fifty- one trout, threw away fifteen, and lost eight off the hook. Those who claim to know de- clare that the eight lost fish is the only true statement in the whole story. It’s as a fish Geo. T. Warren, of the firm of Geo. T. Warren & Co., cigar makers at Flint, was in town a eee of days last week and fa- vored Tor TRADESMAN office with a eall. He says his factory is now running forty men and turning out twelve brands of goods, for all of which he finds ready sale. The committee who are entrusted with the selection of a place for the coming pic- nic have had several desirable pienie grounds in view, uanong them being Reed’s Lake, Macatawa Park, Grand River, Thornapple Lake, Spring Lake and Hess Lake. They have received several generous offers from transportation companies, but have not yet definitely determined upon any one location, although several of the committee are under- stood to look favorably upon the proposi- tion of the C. & W. M. Railway to take the party by special train to Ferrysburg and thence to Fruitport by boat, where tables, chairs, swings, and a dancing hall will be improvised in advance. Dr. W. N. Meredith, Secretary and Treas- urer of the Michigan Commercial Travelers’ Association, died at San Diego, Cal., on the 15th, aged 29 years. He was taken witha severe pulmonary trouble last winter. His medical friends advised a sea voyage to and a short residence in Southern California. They hoped that a change of climate meant renewed vigor and strength to combat the disease. But they underestimated the pro- gress his malady had made. Dr. Meredith was a young man of splendid promise, a generous and loyal friend, and his sudden demise, cutting him otf from what promised to be auseful and honorable career, is a sad stroke to his many friends and aequain- tances. The Doctor was one of the earliest graduates of the Michigan College of Medi- eine. The traveling men’s parade on the Fourth promises to be one of the most significant features of the day. Since the last meeting, fourteen additional names have been handed in, and several have begged off, on account of being compelled to march with some oth- er organization, leaving the number who agree to march to date at 106. Of this num- ber, about eighty have secured or placed or- ders for their hats, and the remainder would do well to make similiar arrange- ments without delay. Captain Bradford has concluded to arrange the procession in following order: Ladies’ Band; The old veterans—Seymour and Crookston; banner, earried by Wm. B. Edmunds; Wm. H. Jen- nings and R. Vaness, carrying guy ropes; remainder of the gang. The following is a list of the names lately handed in: Arthur Meigs, Graham Roys, Dr. D. 8. Hatfield, Alonzo Seymour, Reddy Fairchild, Geo. R. Perry, Henry Schroder, Algernon Edmund White, D. S. Gilmore, Parker McAuley, —— Martin, Will Jones, Chas. Jones and R. Dornink. THE LOUNGER. I think this may properly be called the age of fruit. Fast sailing steamships and lightning railroad trains have released us from our old dependence upon the locality we live in, and brought all climates to our doors; and one result is an enormous increase in the consumption of fruit. Strawberries were received in this city from Southern states in March, the supply gradually in- creasing as the sources of it advanced north- ward. Formerly the strawberry season last- ed about two weeks, now it lasts four months. Itis overlapped by the seasons for raspberries and blackberries, which have already appeared. Next week Georgia water melons will be upon us, and the crop of the Northern states will project the melon season into September. In the meantime cherries, plums, pears and peaches will come in to diversify the scene. Grapes will fol- low and carry us into November. Apples will follow, then cheap oranges from the South, and then bananas from Central America—and before the bananas are half through with strawberries will have come again. From year’s end to year’s end the markets are supplied with several kinds of wholesome fresh fruit, the product either of our own or of foreign lands. New Orleans has a fleet of fruit ships which do little else than bring bananas and cocoanuts from Honduras; New York has a much larger fleet engaged in the same business; and the increasing number of ‘‘fruit trains” on our North and South railroads shows the pro- portions the trade is assuming. The coun- try consumes ten times as much fruit as it did twenty years ago, and the demand is constantly increasing. i. * a Iwas hanging around Perkins & Hess’ establishment the other day when a farmer drove up with as fine looking a lot of wool as I ever set eyes on. An agreement as to price was readily made, but while handling over the fleeces, the piscatorial member of the firm discovered that some of them were “stuffed,” in consequence of which the far- mer was compelled to submit to a dockage of seventeen pounds. After the man had gone, and before the wool was consigned to the pile, each fleece was looked over—or into rather—with a total result of twelve pounds wastage. In the attempt to gain twelve pounds by dishonesty, the farmer had lost five pounds of good wool. <7 x I was. loafing around Will Lamoreaux’ office a day or two after the above occur- rence, and it oceurred to me to ask him if he had ever met with a similar experience, whereupon he assured me that such infrac- tions of honor and justice were frequently met with by the wool buyer. ‘‘I could tell you about one case of the kind,” continued the genial William, ‘‘that was followed by retribution of the severest description. Know Deacon Miner, up in Alpine, don’t you? No? Well, he’s the cussedest old fraud who ever breathed the breath of life. He brought me his wool one season several years ago, and I gave him a check for the whole amount, a little less than $300. Soon after he left the store, I discovered that the wool was ‘‘stuffed’” with lamb’s tails, pieces of dead wool and sheep skin, tags and other foreign substances. I immediately slipped up to the bank and told them not to pay the Miner check. The old fellow came back a short time afterward and wanted to know why they would not pay his check, and I told him if he would look at some of his fleeces in the back end of the store, he would see why the check wasn’t paid. He blustered around, asserted that ‘a bargain was a bargain’ and declared that he would make me sweat for ‘going back on’ a square trade. I offered to settle with him on the basis of one-third off, but he wouldn’t listen to that proposition, and went out in a huff and got John Champlin—now Judge of the Supreme Court. John asked me what was the cause of the trouble, and I referred him to the wool. He quickly told the Dea- con that he could do nothing for him, that I was in the right, and that he had better take any settlement I offered him. The Deacon still held out, however, but a little later in the day he came around and took 397 less than the amount first agreed upon. The outcome of the matter was that the members of the Baptist chureh, in which he was a leading spirit, got hold of the matter and churched him, and the Masonie lodge to which he belonged suspended him for one year. He subsequently sneaked into the Congregational chureh, but the members of that society soon learned his true character and bounced him. Deacon Miner isn’t the only man who has attempted to defraud in this way, but I think the punishment meted out to him was fully commensurate to the offense. a RQ at —— Appreciated Here at Home.

DEAR Stx—Well, my trial has come off. We proved to the satisfaction of the court, Squar Potts, that he, the said court afore- said, was prejudiced against said respon- dent, Soliman Snooks. Therefore he, the said court, transferred said case to John Q. Bannister, Esq., of Grumbleton. We had the bigest old picnic of a time over thar you ever seen in yourlife. About half the town was speaned as witnesses and the other half dropped all bizness and went over to see the trial. Of course Bilson and Lhad to lock up, as our clerks was wit- nesses, toc, My withesses had. three fights, with the same number of Bilson’s witnesses, before the case was called. In fact the case was tried fifteen or twenty times over in the streets of Grumbleton before 10 o’clock. The prosecuting attorney was on hand for the people, and the case was opened at 10 a. In. by my pleading not guilty and de- manding a jury. Then the fun began—such a time as constable Tompkins had gettin a jury that would stick, I never saw before. He went out and got the first six that was struck, but they all happened to be mer- chants or clerks in stores, so they had every last one of ’em read all about the fight in Tire TRADESMAN, so they was no good. Then Tompkins began to run out to bring in new ones and he had to keep running pretty mnch all the afternoon, becoss near- ly every man had read about the case in some of the papers. At last, six men were collected that never read the papers, or anything else, and I tell you the array made me proud of our Amer- ican jury system. The foreman was the most intellectual looking man in the lot, and he said: “Yas, Ive hearn tell of this ere fought, but I haint seed nothin of it in no papers.” Wilkins—‘‘Have you formed any opinion about the case, Mr. Jones?” “No: I never form any kind of an opin- ion about nothin.” Both attorneys were satisfied that Mz. Jones was 2 competent man to try the case. PHILANDER BILSON SWORN. Witness gave a description of the fight from first to last. Then my attorney, Wil- kins, got in our Coop de e-clap, as the French say, on the cross examination: Wilkins—‘‘Mr. Bilson, you say you came out of the fight with a black eye.” ‘Ves sir.” ‘How did you receive the damage to said eye?” “J-J-don't just.exactly know. As nearas I can remember, the respondent, Snooks, hit me with his fist.” “Are you certain he hit you?” ‘“Well—no, not perfectly.” ‘Perhaps we can refresh your mind, so you can remember. Will you kindly in- form the court and jury as to whether this is your hand writing or not?” Witness examines paper. “Well—yes, I should say it was.” “Ts that your signature?” “Tt is.” “What is the date of that document?” ‘May 5, 1885.” ‘‘Now witness, this document makes cer- | tain statements regarding this fight. They were made directly after said fight, were they not?” “Yes sir, they were.” “Are you in the habit of writing false- | #999 hoods to the papers: “N-n-no sir, I am not.” ‘“This article was written for and printed in Tue MicniGAN TRADESMAN, Was it not?” . -‘J—J think it was; yes, sir.” “Ts thé article a true statement of the oc- | currence, as you then remembered it, while fresh in your memory?” ‘*Yeg sir, as far as I know.” Wilkins—‘‘Your honor, we submit this manuscript in evidence. That is all, Mr. Bilson.” The prosecuting attorney objected, but the document was allowed by the justice. After reading the article over and whisper- ing to Bilson a little, the prosecuting attor- ney arose and entered a nolly pros-quee in thecase. He said: ‘May it please your honor, we beg leave | from the evidence now béfore the court, it /would seem that the respondent was the | only one that got hit in the row.” _ The motion was entered and the prisone ‘discharged. Then we had a high old time, | you bet. None of the Cornerites went home juntil about 10 p.m. Bilson said he was | glad it was over. He was sick of it, he said. a Lam glad, but I think if Wilkins had | not had the happy idea of sending down to | you for that manuscript, the trial wood have | lasted two or three days. You see, Mr. Editor, we knew Bilson like ‘a book. Weknew that he had rather be beaten in the suit than to admit that he had lied in his newspaper account. But some- thing seems to have come over Phil. I don’t know what to make of it, for my part. He seems sort of subdued like and don’t act so bitter against me as he did. He has just got back from Saginaw, and I notice he has a new suit throughout from boots to plug hat. Can he be in love? Blamed if it don’t look like it, Sarah Potter told Sister Spriggs yesterday, that she heard Jane Vit- zen tell Kate Hancock, that Potts hired girl told Widder Hobson, that Jerusia Spilkins had a new carpet, a set of chairs and a silk dress pattern come from Saginaw. By Crickets! it must be so. The news come straight, anyway. Bilson came in after his mail himself this noon, for the first time in five weeks, and I nodded my head to him and he returned the salutation. The Widder is doing a good trade now, got orders in for four hats and three bon- nets. I intended to give you my ideas regarding the new pharmashuticle law, ete., but it was crouded out by this blamed trial. The last society we started holds a meeting next week and so does the N. D. P.

Description of a Visit to that Jobbing Cen- : ter. Canr Hook Corners, JUNE 19, 1885. Editor of Tradesman ; Well, I've been over to the raging Sagi- naws this week. You see I used to buy all my supplies there before they put the other railroad through, and as ,business wasivt rushing just now, I made up iny mind T’d run over to the old stamping ground, and see how the land lay, as it were. Things have changed considerable since aL was there last. The traditional corkscrew still survives, but water doesn’t seem to be so plentiful in the principal streets as it was fifteen or twenty years ago. LTused to buy my dry goods in those days of Jim Living- ston, who was then never known to have more than one suit of clothes atatime. Jim Stewart looks as young as he did a dozen years ago, but they say he can drink more whisky now than any man in the Valley. His handwriting hasn’t improved with age. Mr. Plumb showed me the mammoth ball and bat presented him by the ladies of Grand Rapids, on the occasion of the visit of the Saginaw jobbers to the Valley City, last sum- mer, and also the cant hook which is war- ranted to knock a ball clean over the fence every time. Charley Prindle, over at Wells, Stone & Co.’s, also showed me several sou- venirs of his Grand Rapids visit, as well as seyeral presents received from there since. IT went around to Bell’s and made arrange- ments with him to handle our huckleberries this year. Wedidn’t have many lastseason, on account of the fires in the woods. The first day I was in Saginaw, I couldn’t find a grocery jobber anywhere, and T asked a clerk at one of the establishments where their place of business was, and he said it was ‘“‘out atthe ball park”; and, sure enough, every last one of them was out there play- ing ascrub game to work up their muscle. They say they expect a challenge from Grand Rapids before long, and intend to put them- selyes in shape to scoop you on both games this season. I hope they will, for they are as jolly a lot of fellows as you will meet anywhere. | I was so well pleased with my reception |in the Saginaws that I am going down there | again in the near fnture, after which I can i tell you more about the boys.
