TO THE TRAVELER.

Sermon Delivered by Rev. P. E. Holp, of
Chicago.

When the birds come flocking from the
Northland, we know that fall-time has
come.

When the commercial travelers come
flocking into our hotels, into our places of
business, we know that the dullness of the
business life of the summer is past, and the
activity of the business circles for the au-
tumn has come.

Moreover, your numerous presence with
us to-night assures us that you have confi-
dence in the statement that onee more the
healthfulness of our city is restored to its
normal condition. For these two outlooks
we are thankful for your presence to-
night.

- If there is one subject more than another
that I think I understand it is the subject
that I am handling to-night.

For five years in the State of Ohio I was
engaged in the mereantile life myself; my
father was a merchant before me; so that
from my infancy until twenty-five years of
age I knew the commercial travelers from
Boston, from New York, from Cincinnati,
and from Chicago. My four years minis-
terial life has brought me continually into
the presence of your order.

I have met you as a customer, I have met
you as a stranger, I have met you as a per-
sonal friend; if I do not know your guild
from the outlook of all these standpoints I
fear that I shall never understand any sub-
ject.

Iam glad to say to-night in the face of
these experiences that some of the grandest
and some of the best men that I have known
East or West have been commercial tray-
elers.

I believe I am safe in saying that no class
of men has been so influenced by the minor-
ity giving reputation to the majority as your
class. If the Apostle Paul ever spoke a
truth it was when he said that no man lives
unto himself; every one of your class has a
molding influence upon every other member
of your class; and every one of you has an
influence in giving reputation to your class
in the world at large. None of you live un-
to yourselves, but every one unto the class
with which you are joined.

Ll imagine that when I state that some of
the grandest and. best men I have ever
known were in your class, that many per-
sons in this congregation worshipping, here
will say—‘‘Good traveling men! why next
you will be telling us of good devils!” Yet
Lam speaking soberly and honestly, from
long experience. There is no use in trying
to hide the fact that the opinion obtains at
large in communities everywhere, that every
one of you once upon atime said, ‘‘Good-
by honesty, good-by decency, good-by truth-
fulness, good-by God;lam_ going to beg
commercial traveler.” [Laughter.] The
only way you ean do away with an impres-
sion broadeast like this, is by living straight-
forward, honorable lives every one of you
in the circles wherever you mingle.

Mr. Curtis, in the character of Sam’! of
Posen, has taken your peculiarities, your
absurdities, and magnified them ten-fold,
and placed them upon the stage of this
country and made theaters convulse with
innocent laughter.

Robert Burdette has sat down at his own
private table and in his own inimitable man-
ner has written out the admirable points of
your class; he has given that paper to all
the printing presses of the cities and towns
of our country, aid your good characteris-
tics are as_broadeast upon sheets of paper
from the presses of our country as are
numerous the snow flakes whieh fill the at-
mosphere in winter.

Dr. Talmage, of Brooklyn, seven or
eight years ago this present month, preach-
ed upon the subject I have to-night, and he
made Brooklyn Tabernacle, with 6,000 peo-
ple, reverberate with sound, practical,
Christian advice to your profession.

As a class you are ubiquitous; we find you
in the hotels, and we find you in the cars,
we find you in the street, and we find you
in our stores, we find you in our cities, and
we find you in our towns; we find you in
the states, and we find you upon the fron-
tier of our territories. You have usurped,
whether you wish it or not, the honor of the
Methodist preacher; no longer upon the first
incoming locomotive’s cow-catcher is a min-
ister with a barrel of sermons, but a travel-
ing man with a grip in one hand and a ease
of samples in the other.

You hold the enchanted middle ground of
the business life; you are the mutual friend:
the golden mean; the life blood; the missing
link of the commercial world. [Laugh-
ter. |

There is only one house of any impor-
tance from Plymouth Rock to Golden Gate
out of the 10,000 commercial establishments
that dares carry on business without you,
and that is Hoyt & Co., of Chicago. Four-
teen years ago in the State of New York
there were enough commercial travelers to
band themselves together in an association;
at the present time there are over 30,000
commercial travelers in the Empire State.

I say to-night that I can safely divide all
your class into three departments, I think I

 

am telling the truth. First: There isa
large number of your order composed of
Jews who represent the clothing and jewel-
ry establishments of our country. There is
a second class of young men who have been
desirous to walk in this manner of life:
there is a third class, and the larger class
composed of the men who have tried and un-
successfully tried other methods of life and
have stepped at last into yours. It is with
the last two that [have especially to deal
to-night. I look out carefully and study
your class through our country, and there
are two signs that give me great satisfac-
tion. The first is that there are more mar-
ried men in your class to-day than there
were five or ten years ago. The second
blessed thought is this, that you treat less
of your customers to strong drink to-day
than you did five or ten years ago. A lead-
ing salesman in the city of Philadelphia,
some years ago made the remak after a long
experience in mercantile life, thus: ‘‘I have
never known a single customer that was se-
cured and held by the practice of treating
that did not in the end become a scourge to
the house obtaining him.”

I say of these two facts, let them go on
more distinctly year by year until every
man in your class shall be a married man,
and until no customer shall think of being
treated by you any more than the ministers
of the church you attend.

Your manner of life is unnatural.

If Col. Ingersoll ever said a good thing
he gave it to the world when he said ‘“‘homes
make patriots. There are few men in our
country patriotic enough to shoulder a gun
in defense of a boarding house.” Henry
Ward Beecher spoke in the same line twen-
ty-five years ago, when he said ‘‘a man who
lives his life at a hotel is like a grape vine
that is planted ina little flower pot; he is
docked at the bottom and clipped at the top;
no man can ever reach out his branches to,
the evening and to the morning, as God in-
tended, unless he lives at his home.”

Shakespeare has said ‘‘men are merriest
when they are from home.” In the face of
these statements from these three giants I
would say to you, have a home somewhere;
if you are single, take a place where you
can be easiest on the Sabbath day and fix up
a room that is your home; it may not be as
elegant as some you would find, but it
would be vastly more beneficial in the in-
fluence that it exerts upon your better na-
ture. Have a home, however homely; have
a church your home, however poor it may
be.

I will say your manner of living is un-
healthy.

When J. G. Holland became popular in
this country as a lecturer he was sent for
from all quarters of the country to deliver

lectures; he did so; one day a friend asked
him, ‘‘Mr. Holland, how do you get along

in your new life?” and he said, ‘‘the leetur-
ing is nothing, but the ear riding is murder-
ous.” Weare told by travelers in Egypt
that when the dogs in that country become
very thirsty they at last rush down to the
river Nile, but never stop to drink, but go
at full speed. Why? Because they fear
the crocodile yonder will engulf them. You
axat as those dogs drink, at full speed, most
of the time. These two peculiarities that
kill the physical man are distinctive features
of your class.

I may say, morever, that your manner of
life at present is abnormal. I don’t believe
out of all the commercial travelers of our
country there isa single one that intends to
make traveling his life work; not a single
one. This abnormal state is a chrysalis
state; it is a transitional state you: are in at
present. When a ceaterpillar goes into the
ehrysalis condition it comes out into a new
world that is higher than its old life. But
many a caterpillar is crushed in its chrysalis
condition and never reaches the advanced
state of being.

How many commercial men, in their
transitional chrysalis life, are crushed by
gambling, are crushed by strong drink, are
cursed by the woman of death, and never
get into the anticipated advanced stage at
all? How many have spoken to me and
said our life is a dog’s life! How many of
you would advise your_son, your brother,
your dearest friend to go into the profession
youarein? There is not a single one of
all your number that would advise a dear
one to you to follow in your footsteps.
Some weeks ago, somebody is said to have
heard Gladstone say, ‘‘f am tired of life; I
have led a dog’s life of it.” And the friend
responded to Gladstone, ‘‘Yes, you haye,
but it was a St. Bernard.” You have the
possibility within your own hands of mak-
ing your life, thoughjyou look at it as a dog’s
life, that of a St. Bernard; reaching out to
save and bless mankind.

T rejoice in the knowledge of the fact
that many of’ your order are leading this
noble life among your fellow men. At a
station not many miles from here, during
the winter months, was found a poor widow
with her children; she wanted to go where
she had not the means of going. Somehow
one of your class learned of it and said,
‘Boys, here is need, here is an opportunity
to do good,” He put down two dollars, and
six there were with him made it two dollars
apiece, making fourteen dollars from these

men. One of them [saw a banker coming
across the steet; he called to him and said,
‘We have made up a purse of fourteen dol-
lars for this woman and her children; won’t
you help us?” The man reached down
in his pockets and gave thirty-five cents.
That is another kind of dog’s life!
[ Laughter. ]

Laramrie is a town that boasts it has the
meanest man in the United states; and he
not a commercial traveler either.
[Laughter.] It has a man who is so pe-
nurious that he bought a ten-cent hanker-
chief, then went and poured some red ink
on it and blotched it all over with red spots;
he never carries that except on Sunday when
he goes to church; he gets just as much of
the meeting gratis as he ean; when he sees
the collection box coming he gathers that
red spotted hankerchief to his nose and
goes out; [laughter] never of all the disa-
greeable, unpleasant things that have been
laid to your profession has a charge of that
kind been made. You are good payers at
church, always. Up in the State of Minne-
sota during this last winter’s blockades,
there was found seventy-five traveling men;
they went to the church on the Sabbath day
and put in $1 apiece. I cannot say any-
thing against you as payers at chureh, as
more than half our collection every Sunday
comes from your class, but I do say that
you may make a fatal mistake right there.

religion is a personal matter; you ean not
carry on a religious life by proxy; don’t be
like Micah, the man of old, who said, ‘*Now
I know God will do me good, for Ihave a
levite to my priest.”

is

You are constant church goers, and yet I
might warnyou safely upon this point.
Bayard Taylor tells us in his travels in
Europe, while he was traveling through the
beautiful mountain scenery of Switzerland,
that along the highways of that picturesque
country that could be seen magnificant ear-
riages. Who were in those carriages? The
nobility of Europe. They were sleeping
there, perchance they were reading in there.
On the outside of the carriage there was a
place for a man; that man had a canvass be-
fore him and with pencils he would sketch
the mountain scenery, and the forests, and
the rivers on his canvass, so that when he
returned home he could take down the dif-
ferent canvass, and show to his lord and
lady all the scenery through which they had
passed. Be not like these; you hear men
explain the word of God every Sabbath al-
most; do not allow them to go through this
picturesque Biblical scenery for you; but
open your eyes and do your own looking;
read the open Bible. Paul has said as good
advice again, ‘“‘that not the hearers of God’s
word are justified before God, but the doers
of God’s word.”

You hear enough, every one of you, of
divine truth to make saints of you all; do
you heed the words you hear? Isit strange
advice when I tell you you cannot put a better
piece of furniture in your grip, however
cramped and crowded it may be, than a copy
of the divine will? You say,‘‘Why, on the
train where we are every day are to be found
Bibles.” Yes, butthey are not yours!

Lyman Abbott and Moody for twenty
years have carried the same Bibles, and
each one’s testimony is he would not give
that Bible for all the rest of the Bibles in
the United States. You want one of your
own, you want to use it; you want to mark
it; you want to heed it.

Again; You are wonderfully kind, cour-
teous, and obliging to alk men. I saw a
statement inthe New York Independent
the other week like this—that a man who
was in one of the large depots there was
rushing for a train; he stopped and said to
a lounger: ‘‘Is that my train?” the Man re
sponded uncourteously thus: ‘I don't
know; it seems to have the name of some
railroad company on it; have you lost a
train anywhere?” A commercial traveler
would never make an answer to man,
woman or child like that. I venture to say,
from a large experience, that you can get
more satisfactory information, with regard
to the time of trains, [their arrival and de-
parture, their connection with other lines,
and the fare from one destination to another,
from any one commercial traveler than you
ean from all the time-tables, station agents,
and conductors put together.

You live too much in the present.

Do you always remember the hereafter of
this life—the great hereafter? Do you
you are
now living, and the life you are going to
live after you have finished this stage of
action, your fellow-men are going to hold
you responsible for it? Do you know that
in this great hereafter God is going to hold
you responsible for all the deeds done in the
body? Live with an eye to the future of
this world and the world to come, more
than you have in the past.

You are too skeptical with regard to the
ultimate success of honesty. Some wag has
said, ‘‘honesty is the best policy, but you
have to pay the premium on it in this life,
and you don’t realize on the insurance until
the future life.” That is a mistake; you do
realize on the insurance in this life as well
as the life tocome. A man who has trav-
eled in this Territory as long as there has
been anybody here, said that he tried to do

| what was fair and honest as ever a man did:
the first year he did not sell as mueh as
some of his dishonest competitors: the see-
year his sales were larger; the third year
they were still larger, and since then he has
gone on having a trade superior to all his
dishonest competiters, In the city of Phila-
delphia, twenty-five years ago, there was a
salesman who was told by his proprietor ‘to
liein his selling of goods if need be;” he said,
“*T won't do it.”
He went.

bered as a

His proprietor said ‘‘go.”
To-day his employer is remem-
disgraceful bankrupt, and the
clerk is one of the most honorable, respect-
ed, substantial business in Philadel-
phia.

Honesty is the best policy.

Again you are too prodigal your
spare time. You have hours every day at
the hotel*and hours on the train, going from
one place to another, that you squander in
a prodigal manner. You will take a news-
paper wherever you can get one, from any
quarter, of any date; you will read it all
through; you will read the advertisements:
you will read ‘‘wanted,” you will read ‘‘eor-
respondence;” then you will turn over the
paper and read it again. Then you will sit
for hours looking heedlessly out of the ear
windows. Why not put in your time read-
ing some good book? How many hours are
spent in foolishness that might be treasured
upfin good, honest thought? Why don’t
you say this week: ‘“‘I will read every day
a play of Shakespeare?” It only takes three
hours. Have you not three spare hours
that you squander some way? Next week I
am going to read Eliot’s
works; next week I am going into the
American Men of Letter series. Iam going
to read what Hiolmes says about Emerson:
next week I am Milton’s
“Paradise Lost,” Pope’s ‘Essay on
Man.” By the time twelve months would
perform their circle, you would have a com-
plete literary education for yourself, in-
stead of time squandered and worse than
squandered.

When is the most trying time of your life?
It is the hours after the sun goes down and
until midnight. One hour of the moon and
stars sees more of evil upon the face of the
earth than does the sun in his twelve hours’
circuit. If you read something good during
the morning or afternoon, and get interested
init, when the supper time is over you
won’t?ask, shall I goto the gambling plaees,
shall I go to the >theater, shall I go to the
house of death? No! you will say, I want
a private room, Iam interested in what J
have commenced reading, and I will finish
it this night.

You: are

{ will not stop to argue at this time, but

TL have heard of your
number who was during the blockades in
Minnesota cireumstanced like this: The train
was delayed a few miles outside of a small
town, and they were left to stay in the bloek-

edible on board; when the hour for dinner
arrived one of the trainmen arose and said

cure you something to eat;” he made the self
sacrifice and went; he returned; the man’s

House, in Chicago; the food he brought did

best hotels; one man tasted the coffee, he
tasted the food, he went to the ear door and

into the earth nearly threee hundred feet.
There was a multifarious crowd standing
around, who were all examining what was

geologist, and a man of thought and exper-

SUNDAY LABOR.

In the recent report of the Massachusetts
Bureau of Statistics, there is an elaborate
account of the development of Sunday labor
in that commonwealth. New England is a
district.in which the weekly day of rest is
observed more generally than in the great
majority of our commonwealths. The old
Puritan tradition clings to its people, and
when one has been brought up in the atimos-
phere of strict observance of Sunday, no
change of theory or principle will make him
at ease in breaking the tradition. The
whole face of ‘nature and of society, the
sounds and sights which greet his ear even
in the solitudes of the country, will all wear
a different appearance on Sunday from any
other day. He will have qualms of feelings
if not of conscience, in following any rule
but that of his early training. In this way
the tradition of a stricter Sunday transmits
itself in spite of new theories, and people
who have no reason to give for disliking
laxity, will either avoid it or be made very
uncomfortable by it. We are not surprised
to learn that most forms of Sunday labor
are of very recent origin, and that after de-
ducting household servants and sailors, who
cannot be released from Sunday work, there
there is but eight per cent. of the total
labor of the State that does not enjoy a
week of rest. In other states the percent-
age must be much greater, and increasing.
Of late years there has been a pressure of
opinion in the direction of diminishing the
difference between Sunday and other days,
with the result that one class after another
has been robbed of the day of rest. No-
where has there been any effort to see where
the change in our methods enables a release
of any class of workers. We still demand
Sunday mails, although the rise of the tele-
graph system makes them much less neces-
sary. Our railroads not only run passenger
trains on Sunday, but freight trains loaded
with lumber, coal and other goods which
would lose nothing by waiting.

whole line of employments which minister |

to the public convenience, our pressure for
Sunday accommodations has been steady.
and irresistible. Should it continue so, the
time cannot be distant when the general ex-
ample of a public demand will encourage
capital to demand of labor seven days work
to the week, whenever business is in a con-
dition which makes this profitable.

It is not in whatis called a religious in-
terest that we. deprecate any such change
as this. Least of all is it in any ecclesiasti-
cal interest.
at the hands or the churches, and through
being taken under their patronage. It is
not achureh institution in any sense but
that of being used and often abused for their
convenience. Itis a-state institution first
of all. It was given to a nation and not to
a church at Sinai. It owes its validity to
civil enactment, which has in view the na-
tional well-being. The churches could do
without it; the State cannot. It is necessary
to the health, the sanity, the physical and
social welfare of the whole community. It
becomes more so with every

cietary circulation.” The French revolu-
tionists thought one rest day in ten enough.
Alexander von Humboldt found their ar-
rangement of decades intolerable, and
France fell back on Sunday by common con-
sent, when the Reign of Terror ended. The
Greeks and Romans adopted the day very
generally from the Jews, without any recog-
nition from the Civil Law until the time of
Constantine and the establishment of chris-
tianity. Japan is signalziing her advent in-

to the number of civilized nations by sub--

stituting the western Sunday for the three
rest days a month of the old calendar. Less
than one day in seven does not meet the
needs of our civilized hurry through life.

Perhaps the time will come, if it has not!

come already, when one day in seven will
be found too little, and when an additional
half day of rest may be intercalated with
advantage into the middle of each week.
All that is a question of expediency, and is
for the State to settle. This is one of the
questions which fall to it because no less or
less material authority can settle them. No
other power can suffice to bid the whole ma-
chinery of society stop, and the overstrain-
ed energies of brain tel. find recuper-
ation in a social cessation of ordinary activ-

Along the |

Sunday has suffered greatly |

increase in |
what Mr. Carey calls ‘‘the rapidity of so- |

ity. ‘This is part of its function as the su-
preme guardian of the health and sanity of
the people.

We have no quarrel with any who insist
that the truest and deepest rest is found by
the diversion of ourenergies from the things
of time and sense to the realities which lie
deeper and rise higher than these do. But
Sunday exists for those who do not take this
view of the matter, as well as for those who
do. Itisnotachureh day, but a rest day,
and is used to its true end by any one who
gets rest out of it, even though the rest be
not the highest. And it is abused by any
one who makes it a day of religious toil and
burden, however excellent his intention. It
was made for man, not man for it, as the
highest authority reminds us. It was made
to keep us free men, sober men, sane men,
strong men. We will be none of these if it
degenerate in our use of it into a day of ar-
tificial excitements, of ecclesiastical hurry,
of self-imposed burdens of observance and
labor, which leave us tired and worn at the
opening of a fresh week of toil.

Lets us lift up the day, then, into the
place of just honor which belongs to a social
benefactor. And let us all—whether relig-
ious orirreligious—guard it jealously against
the encroachments alike of secular greed and
of toilsome religiosity.

TuE TRADESMAN congratulates the retail
trade of Muskegon on the mercantile or-
ganization now being effected at that place,
and trusts that it will result in the same
good to the trade at large that similar or-
ganizations have in other cities. The eyes
of other towns in the State are on the Mus-
kegon movement, and on its success or fail-
ure depend in great measure the organiza-
tion of the trade in other important mar-
kets.

 

 

Attention is directed to the call fora
meeting of the retail trade of the city, in
another column of this issue. As the meet-
ing is for the purpose of effecting a local
organization, a full attendance is requested.

 

An advance of over fifty percent. in west-
bound freight rates is one of the most en-
couraging signs of the times.

 

AMONG THE TRADE.

 

| IN THE CITY.
| Yeagle & Boardman succeed Silas Fisher
| in the saloon business.

 

Tradewell & Tanner, retail furniture deal-
ers on South Division street, have retired
from business.

| John Wormnest is erecting a two-story
frame store building at 92 Grandville
/ avenue, 25x60 in dimensions, which he will
| occupy with a hardware stock as soon as
| completed.

| ———
Telfer & Brooks is the firm name of the
concern which has rented the vacant store
| in the Kendall block, on Ottawa street, for
| the purpose of engaging in the jobbing of
| teas, coffees and spices.

| John Wierenga, formerly of the grocery
| firm of Veldman & Wierenga, has about
completed a two-story frame store bvilding
at 86 Grandville avenue, which he will oc-
'eupy with a grocery stock.

Bode & Keeney, of Ferry, have purchased
of W. C. Denison a 50 horse power Pheenix
_ engine and boiler, and a Clark Bros. saw
| mill, with a daily capacity of 50,000 feet of
hardwood. The firm owns about 800 acres
/of choice timber land in the _ vicinity of
| Ferry.

| John Himes & Co. have contracted with
the McCord & Bradfield Furniture Co. to con-
| struct the largest boiler ever turned out in
this city. It will be 18% feet long, 9 feet
in diameter, constructed of one-half inch
steel plate, with double furnace and will
| weigh about twenty-five tons.

 

‘You may say that underware and knit
| goods are going up like hell,” said a lead-
| ing dealer in that line. ‘‘A week ago we
| were offered a good article of scarlet under-
| ware at $7, and yesterday we ordered a case
| by telegraph. The house refused the order,
' stating that the price of the goods had ad-
| vanced to $7.50. This morning we tele-
| graphed in an order at $7.50, and this after-
noon the house replied that the goods
| had advanced another 25cents. Just where
| the forward movement is going to rest is
not apparent at present.”

 

Tue TRADESMAN has received a number
| of complaints from local dealers relative to

 

the disreputable practices of a young man
named Harry Brooks, who has lately resoly-
ed himself into a collection agency. His
manner of operating is to solicit claims for
collection from retail merchants, in some
cases obtaining advances for alleged ex-
penses, and afterward adding a considerable
percentage to the bill as presented to the
debtor. The ‘‘expenses of collection” are
never incurred, and the character of the col-
lector renders it extremely doubtful whether
the dealer will ever secure the money, even
after it is obtained from the original debtor.
Dealers having collections would do well to
place them in responsible hands, and give
Brooks and similar disreputables a wide
berth.

Stevens, also of Big Rapids.

Sheridan News: J. W. Prestel intends
opening up the Fargo saw mill and will cut
about 3,000,000 feet of logs the coming sea-
son.

The Pere Marquette Lumber Co., at Lud

Geo. P. Langdon, assignee, has sold the
Keeney shingle mill, at Indian River, to
Turner & Patterson, of Saginaw, and will
put the mill in operation again.

The Ludington, Wells & Van Shaick Co.
recently purchased 600 acres of pine land on
Point river, Marquette county, for which it
paid $48 an acre. The land is estimated to
have on it 9,000,000 feet of pine.

W. S. Smith will put in 5,000,000 feet of

purpose.

R. E. Cady & Co., of Romeo, will put in
5,000,000 feet of logs at Otsego lake, Otsego

county, and 10,000,000 feet on the east |

branch of the Au Gres, employing eighty
men. The logs on the last named stream
will be sawed at East Tawas.

Cheboygan Tribune: The Cheboygan
machine shops anticipate a good business
this winter. They say the mill owners
made as few repairs last winter as_ they
could possibly, and they think it will be
necessary the coming winter to give alla
more general overhauling.

Fair Brothers started their mill at Maren-
isco, September 15. The mill has steam
feed and can cut 60,000 feet ina day. The
mill is on the Presque Isle river, and the
greatest trouble the firm has now is to get
logs down. There are 2,000,000 feet of
logs hung up six miles above the mill.

A newspaper reporter at Marquette was |

lately shown, at that place, a pile a cherry
lumber, some of the boards of which were
22 inches in width. The timber from which
the lumber was cut grew 12 miles south-
west of Marquette. He also saw some fine
red oak, worked into newel posts, and some
birch furniture that would have attracted
attention anywhere. It is evident that there
are fine hardwoods on the Upper Pen-
insula.

Logs will be put into Higgins and Hough-
ton lakes and Muskegon waters, the coming

winter by the following operators: A. A. Big- |

elow & Co., 10,000,000 feet; J. C. Hamil-

The Best in the World.

The Aeme Manufacturing Co., of Kala-
mazoo, made a fine exhibit at the Western
Michigan fair held here last week, showing
five ecreamers of various sizes, including
both the ‘‘Palace” and ‘‘Acme.” The latter
creamer has:been on the market for several
years, and is deservedly a great favorite
with dairymen, farmers, and all who handle

 

milk in any quantity. The ‘‘Palace” cream- |

er is in some respects superior to the
‘‘Acme,” and is better adapted to certain
uses than its predecessor. Both creamers
have fought their way to the front rank, and
their merits fully sustain their present proud
position.

The Acme Manufacturing Co. has arrang-
ed with W. C. Denison to carry a full line
of their creamers and other dairy imple-
ments and supplies, which will be a great
convenience to the patrons of the company
in this vicinity.

Cranberry Topics.

A Walton correspondent writes: Work is
progressing finely on D. C. Leach’s eran-
berry marsh. Mr. H. D. Taber, who has
the job of sanding seven acres, has his job
about half completed.

Cape Cod’s cranberry crop this year will
amount to about 28,000 barrels, somewhat
under the estimate of a few weeks ago when
the crop looked unusually fine. It is thought
| that in five more good seasons the yield in
| Barnstable and Plymouth counties will be
| nearly 100,000 barrels. 4
| The cireulated reports in regard to the
| damage done the cranberry crop of Wiscon-
| sin by frost proved to be exaggerated. The
| crop was slightly damaged in the country
around Berlin, but no material harm was
done except in that locality. The picking
is so far advanced that no great harm ean
come to the crop.

THE TRADESMAN, at the solicitation of
its editor, has received an interesting article
on cranberry culture from Mr. D. C. Leach,
and similar contributions have been solicit-
ed from every grower in the State. Thear-
ticles will deal with the individual exper-
iences of each grower, and will all appear
in one issue of THE TRADESMAN, probably
about the middle of October. Such a series
of letters on the subject has never before
been given tothe public, and will be of
practical value to every one interested in
the subject.
| The thirteenth annual convention of the
American Cranberry Growers’ Association
was held at Tom’s River, Mass., a couple of

was upon insect enemies. He has made
careful research for the pests, patiently stu-
died their habits, and speaks as one having
authority. Mr. French’s statistical report

was on the pulp and flavor of the cranberry-
' His estimate of the probable crop of 1885 is

as follows: In New England, 225,000 bush-
_els; New Jersey, 175,000, Wisconsin, 150,-

| words, a total product of 560,000 bushels.

| Advance in West-Bound Freight Rates.
At a meeting of representatives of the
various trunk line railways at New York
last week, it was resolved to advance west-

100 pounds on the several classes. The new
' schedule is to go into effect on Oct. 5. The
following are the old and the new rages be-

It was decided that all cut-rate contracts

‘where it should be found impossible to re-

A commercial traveler from Kansas says
that out there the farmers, chureh deacons,
and in faet all the pillars of church and

thought that half of Kansas must be on fire
until he got around where they were run-
ning a threshing machine and they were us-
ing the extinguishers. Here he found that
the boys were pulling the stoppers from the
extinguishing bottles and cooling down
what must have been internal fires in their
own bodies. The boys thought the extin-
guishers were a great success, especially
when they were allowed todo the extin-
guishing. 4

Col. Lemon,.an ex-traveling man of Chi-
cago, is considerable of a wag, and lots of
the old timers will remembe1 his harmless
practical jokes. At one time he was in
Cleveland, Ohio, and as he was leaving
some friends at the Weddell House to go
out on one of his trips, they said: ‘‘Are
you going to send us some game from the
West?” ‘‘Yes,” he replied, ‘I will.” Some
time after, while in a small Western town,
he noticed a number of wooden faucets, such
as are used in vinegar barrels, suspended by
a string in front ofa store. ‘‘How much
will you take for the whole lot?” he asked
of the proprietor. ‘‘Seventy-five cents,”
was the reply. The sale was made, and Mr.
L. packed his purchase neatly, ina box
full of sawdust, and shipped it C. O. D., to
the Weddell. Hethen wrote them that he
had sent by express one dozen woodcocks.
Preparations were made for a great feed,
when that letter was received at the hotel,
but it was not given; at least not at Col.
Lemon’s expense, as was expected.

CORNERS IN PILLS.

 

Judge Chipman Holds That Pellets are Not
Necessities of Life.

John H. Jenks, who manufactures Dr. J.
W. Kermott’s mandrake pills at Detroit, re-
cently entered into an agreement with the
wholesale drug house of James E. Davis &
Co., whereby the latter agreed to maintain
the goods atacertain price. Davis & Co.
broke the contract, and Jenks thereupon
sued for damages. The defendants demur-
red on the ground that the agreement was
one to corner the market in Kermott’s pills
and was therefore void as against public
policy. Judge Chipman, before whom the
case was argued, overruled the demurrer in
the following important descision:

- There is no doubt that if these pills are
om necessities of life, as wheat (Raymond vs.
<I Leavitt, 46 Michigan, 450), or coal (Moore’s
a River Coal Company vs. Barclay Coal Com-
== pany, 68 Pennsylvania 173; Arnot vs. Pittson
*™~ & Elmira Coal Company, 68 New York, 558,

~ or other articles which plainly are required
= by the necessities or great convenience of
. the public, a contract for the purpose of en-
\.. hancing their price would be illegal, and
&. courts would refuse to enforce it, In Ray-
= mond vs. Leavitt, Justice Campbell says:
p ‘The object of the arrangement between
ov these parties was to force a fictitious and

~ unnatural rise in the wheat market for the
m express purpose of getting the advantage of
= dealers and purchasers whose necessities
f< compelled them to buy, and _ necessar-
O ily to create a similar difficulty as to all per-

sons who had to obtain or use that commod-
ity, which is an article indispensable to every
family in the country.” This, he decides,
the law will not countenance, and he cites
asin point the coal cases in 68 New York
and 68 Pennsylvania St. reports. So far as
wheat and coal, and other articles of that
nature are concerned, the entire propriety
of the rule is self-evident. Society may pro-
tect itself against combinations, contracts or
acts which tend to place artificial and ex-
travagant values upon articles which are es-
sential to the sustenance of life, and it may
do this either by punishment of persons, or
by refusal to allow damages for the breach
of contracts tainted with this infirmity; but
a patent pill cannot be placed upon a foot-
ing with wheat, coal and other articles
which are as essential to lifeas air. Courts
will recognize the fact that there can be no
mystery as to the constituents of such pills,
and that the varieties of them devoted to the
cure of the same diseases are without num-
ber. That they are all necessaries of life,
or in any sense indispensable to the human
race, would be a violent presumption, not to
be entertained judicially, and only to be es-
tablished by evidence which every sensible
man knows has no existence. In this view

price, and not to resort to a lower one, can-
not be considered as injurious to the public.

The contract undoubtedly is in restraint
of trade, so far as it goes. It prevents the
defendant from selling under the price
agreed upon; but care must be taken that
the rule which prohibits agreements of this
nature shall not itself become the source of
meddlesome restriction and interference in
innocent and beneficial transactions. The
learned Justice Christianey, in Hubbard vs.
Miller, 27 Michigan, 19 says: ‘‘Butif, con-
sidered with reference to thé situation, bus-
iness and objects of the parties, and in the
light of all the surrounding circumstances,
with reference to which the contract
was made, the restraint contracted for ap-
pears to have been for a just and honest pur-
pose, for the protection of the legitimate in-
terests of the party in whose favor it is in-
terposed, reasonable as between them, and
not specially injurious to the public, the re-
straint will be held valid.”

If this rule applies to the present case,
the agreement between the parties is based
upon a valuable consideration, they pledg-
ing themselves by mutual promises to ob-
serve the same price, each being subject to

the agreement to maintain the schedule

the terms of agreement to the same restric-
tion. The principle announced by Justice
Christiancy in Hubbard vs. Miller was ap-
plied toa very great extent in Beal vs.
Chase, 31 Mich. In Caswell vs. Gibbs, 33
Mich., 332, the same principle was affirmed,
but relief refused (Justice Marston render-
ing the opinion) on the ground of uncertain-
ty alike in the contract and in the proofs.

I have no doubt that the object of this
contract was a legitimate one, and that the
consideration—mutual promises—is a valu-
able one. (See authorities above cited, and
1 Smith’s L. C., part 2, 508; 2 Parsons on
Contracts, 747 et seq. and notes. )

Entertaining these views, I must defeat
the demurrer.

Third Meeting of the Michigan State
Pharmaceutical Association.

The Third Annual. Meeting will convene
in Merrill Hall, corner of Woodward and
Jefferson avenues, Detroit, on Tuesday,
Oct. 13, at 2 o’clock, p. m.

A large attendance is expected and the
meeting promises to be very interesting and
entertaining.

Parts of two sessions are set apart for the
discussion of trade interests, a matter that
is of vital importance to every retail drug-
gist in the State. A large number of pa-
pers on interesting subjects will be read and
discussed.

The commercial exhibit by the leading
wholesale druggists, and manufacturing
chemists of the country promises to eclipse
the grand display of last year. The exhibit
is in charge of Mr. A. W. Allen, the assist-
ant secretary.

Reduced rates have been obtained for
members and their families at hotels as fol-
lows: The Russell, $3; the Brunswick, $2
to $2.50; the Griswold, $2: the Kirkwood,
$1.50 to $2; the Rice $1.25.

A one and one-third rate has been obtain-
ed from the Michigan Passenger Agents’
Association, which includes the following
railroads: Chicago & West Michigan; Chi-
eago & Grand Trunk; Detroit, Lansing &
Northern; Detroit, Grand Haven & Milwau-
kee; Detroit, Mackinaw & Marquette; Flint
& Pere Marquette; Grand Rapids & Indiana;
Lake Shore & Michigan Southern; Michigan
Central; Michigan Air Line; Michigan &
Ohio; Pontiac, Oxford & Pt. Austin; Tole-
do, Ann Arbor & Northern Mich.; Wabash,
St. Louis & Pacific.

To secure this reduced rate it is necessary
to obtain a certificate which will be fur-
nished by me on application. This rate is
given to all members and their families; also
to those who may send in applications to
become members .at this meeting, and to
those who may wish to join after arriving
in Detroit.

A special invitation is extended to the
wives of members to accompany their hus-
bands on this oceasion.

If the efforts of the Association in secur-
ing a pharmacy law meet your approval, we
ask you to favor us with your application
for membership. Enclosed with this please
find an application blank. The membership,
including applications received since our
last meeting, is 530; we hope to have before
the close of this meeting a total of 800. Can
you not assist us in reaching that number
—the larger the Association the more influ-
ence we can exert in the interest of the Re-
tail Drug Trade of this State.

Trade and collections are fairly good.
There have been no changes of importance
since the last report.

—_ ~~. >.

A Pennsylvania pharmacist asks the
Druggists’ Circular if he should sell bella-
dona plasters, when his customers eall for
Alabama plasters; while another correspon-
dent says he sells corrosive sublimate for
gross subliment.

A curious complication in connection with
the new pharmacy law has arisen through
the discovery that the Michigan State
Pharmaceutical Association cannot be in-
corporated under the general statute, a spec-
ial law for the purpose being necessary. As
the Legislature does not again convene until
1886, the clause in the pharmacy act relating
to the Association will of necessity mean-
while be inoperative. This is somewhat
unfortunate, but under existing circum-
stances will not in any serious degree impair

 

 

 

 

 

the efficiency of the law.

The Advantages of the Michigan Pharm-
acy Act.
From the Western Druggist.

The Michigan Act is probably far the
most stringent of State pharmacy laws in
America. To illustrate the difference be-
tween it and the Illinois and nearly all other
pharmacy acts, we may cite a case of viola-
tion recently prosecuted unsuccessfully in
this city. A prominent pharmacist recently
found it necessary to absent himself from
town, and left his store without a registered
pharmacist in charge, though he employed
three clerks. As asummons could not be
served on him as proprietor, suit was brought
against the clerks, but without avail, as the
court ruled that the pharmacy act held only
the proprietor or person in charge of the
pharmacy responsible. Had conviction been
secured the judgment would have been
worthless unless the defendants were finan-
cially responsible, imprisonment not being
apart of the penalty. Under similar cir-
cumstances in Michigan each clerk could
have been promptly fined, and, in default of
payment, imprisoned, or both fined and im-
prisoned in the diseretion of the court. It
may be said that this penalty is needlessly
harsh and under certain circumstances cal-
culated to inflict unmerited disgrace upon
persons innocent of intentional violation; it
is maintained by many that the demands of
justice may be met by holding only the pro-
prietor responsible. These questions we
have discussed in previous issues and revert
to them now only to indicate the unusual
severity with which Michigan proposes to
deal with infractions of the law. For the
imprisonment feature of the act the drug-
gists of the State made no request. This
was distinctively the thought of the Legisla-
ture, and affords undoubted evidence of its
earnestness and a determination in the cause
of safe dispensing. As prosecutions under
the law will be practically under the control
and in the hands of the Board of Pharmacy,
it may be presumed that the lash will be ap-
plied only when the efficiency and dignity of
the law so require. It is safe to say there
will be little trifling with an act having so
many sharp and dangerous edges. It is
probable the examinations of the Board will
foratime at least be somewhat lenient.
Possessing absolute power subject to no ap-
peal, and realizing the full measure of its
responsibilities, it will doubtless proceed
with prudence, and lay a foundation upon
which their successors may build with con-
fidence, and with a measure of success which
shall justify the anticipations of the friends
of the legislation which is destined to mark
a new era in Michigan pharmacy.

O. H. Richmond on the Quinine-Morphine
Question.

GRAND RApips, Sept. 26, 1885.
Editor TRADESMAN:

DEAR Sirn—In Tue TrapesMan of the
28rd, I notice an article relative to the dan-
ger of selling or dispensing morphine in
place of quinine.

After an experience in the drug business
of some seventeen years I must say that I
cannot understand how any druggist could
make such a mistake—that is, supposing
the druggist to be sober and awake. It would
be about the same as a grocer accidentally
selling or substituting early rose potatoes
for apples.

It is very true that quinine and morphine
are alike in color, but when you have said
that you have said all there is to say,
except that both are bitter. Every drug-
gist knows that the crystals do not look
alike, or turn out from the bottle alike, and
if dispensed from the original bottles, mor-
phine in drach uiols and quinine in ounces,
it seems to me that there need never be any
errors. Yet the fact remains that such er-
rors ] have occurred. I knew of one case—
not witha druggist, but with a doctor—
which arose from the physician keeping his
morphine in a quinine bottle. This would
be quite likely to lead to errors and should
not be practiced.

There are two other articles that in my
opinion are more liable to be confounded
than quinine and morphine and they are
Pot. Et Sod.” Tart. and Ant. Et Pot. Tart.
Many cases are on record of deaths result-
ing from the substitution of the latter for
the former. In order to prevent all chance
for such accidents, I have always made it a
point to keep the tartar emetic clear in the
rear of the store away from the other salt
mouths and on the top shelf where it takes
alittle trouble to get it. This avoids all
chance for a clerk or the proprietors to take
down the wrong bottle ina moment of ab-
sent mindedness.

For the same reason I never keep Fl. Ex.
Bell. on the shelf with Fl. Ex. Buchu and
the other Bs. A case occurred in Maple
Rapids a few years ago, where an exper-
ienced druggist poisoned himself by acci-
dentally taking a swallow of belladonna
from his shelf bottle.

O. H. RicumMonp.

A young man writes THe TRADESMAN
from Charlevoix, asking if a person who
has had three years’ experience in the drug
business, but will not be eighteen until
November, can register without examina-
tion. The law states very explicitly that a
person must be eighteen years age before he
can become a registered assistant pharma-
cist, but the same provision is probably un-
intentionally omitted from the requisites to
registration as a pharmacist. Therefore, if
the writer was engaged in the dispensing of
prescriptions for three years prior to Sep-
tember 18, and was so engaged on that day,
he is entitled to registration as a full-fledged
pharmacist, although he could not become
an assistant pharmacist until reaching the

 

age prescribed by law.

BUSINESS LAW.

Brief Digests of Recent Decisions in Courts
of Last Resort.

 

CONDITION IN DEED—SALE OF LIQUOR.

In the case of Watrous vs. Allen the
Supreme Court of Michigan held valid a
condition in a deed that in the event of the
propery conveyed being used for the sale of
liquor it should revert to the grantor.

 

DWELLING USED AS BUSINESS PLACE.

The fact that a person transacts his busi-
ness in his dwelling does not divest, it of its
character as a dwelling so as to make it law-
ful for an officer to break the outer door for
the purpose of serving civil process against
the owner, according to the decision of the
Supreme Court of Minnesota in the case of
Welsh vs. Wilson.

 

INFRINGMENT OF PATENT—DAMAGES,

In an action brought for the infringment
of a patent for a design for carpets no
profits were found to have been made by
the defendant, but the Cireuit Court, in
which the action was tried, allowed to the
plaintiff as damages for every yard of car-
pets made upon the design in question a
sum equal to the profit made by the plain-
tiff in making and selling carpets with the
patented design. The Supreme Court of the
United States held that this award of
damages was improper, and that only nomi-
nal damages should be allowed, there being
no evidence as to the value imparted to the
carpet by the design.

 

TRADE ADVERTISEMENTS—USE OF
ANOTHER’S NAME.

A question of much interest to business
men was involved in the case of Van
Wyck vs. Horowitz, decided at a special
term of the New York Supreme Court by
Judge Westbrook. The plaintiff ‘in this
ease sought to restain the defendant, a
former employe of his, from using in adver-
tisements and on signs the words ‘‘late with
James P. Van Wyck” (referring to the
plaintiff). J udge Westbrook granted an
injunction and said: ‘That which belongs
to a person is his own, and nothing is more
completely the property of a man than. his
name. No person can use it without its
owner's consent. * * * * The view
thus expressed may at first be deemed radi-
cal, but it seems to me to be a clear deduc-
tion from fundamental principles. Of what
avail is character or long continued busi-
ness, large expenditure to make it known,
and a name—more strictly property than a
trade-mark—if all can be turned or partially
turned to another’s;benefit by taking the name
to or combining it with that of another in-
dividual so as to conspicuously advertise
that to or with which it is so tacked or com-
bined? If the defendant in his business
cards, advertisements {and signs had used a
trade-mark belonging to the plaintiff to
advertise himself and a business of his own,
which was a rival to that owned by the
plaintiff with the trade-mark represented,
the violation of the rights of the owner of
the trade-mark would be conceded. The
present case is stronger. The name of the
plaintiff represents himself and his business
only, and is even more fully and completely
his than a trade mark, and its use therefore
by the defendant to give character to his
own cannot be sustained. Itis, unless its
owner’s consent has been obtained, just as
unlawful as the wrongful using, as has been
before stated, of another’s personal proper-
ty. The distinction betyveen the two cases
—the use is actual in both—is physical only.
The one takes a physical object or thing;
the other takes and uses, not a physical ob-
ject or thing, it is true, but something
which, though not tangible, is as really and
completely property as the other. In short,
the so-called radical thought is simply the
enunciation and application of the funda-
mental principle that one man eannot law-
fully take and use the property of another
without and against the consent of its
owner. There is another thought in this
connection which, though perhaps covered
by the line of argument just presented, is
still of sufficient importance to warrant a
separate statement. The defendant in his
answer also expressly concedes that ‘the
jewelry store’ owned by the plaintiff ‘has a
distinctive and well-known repute as such.’
This repute of his business is also clearly
the property of the plaintiff, with which the
defendant should not intermeddle.” The
Albany Law Journal, a very able legal au-
thority, criticises J udge Westbrook’s decis-
ion, declaring that the defendant has a right
to refer to his former connection with the
plaintiff, and to get any good from it that
he could. It says that he would certainly
have a right to tell the old patrons and the
public about it, and that he may do it by
advertising. The question eannot be
deemed settled in New York until this case
or some other involving the same point has
been reviewed in the court of last resort in
the State.

ABOUT WHALEBONE.

 

 

Why its Price May Double Within a Few
Months.

“No article of commerce valies more
widely in its market price than whalebone,”
said one of the oldest dealers in whalebone
to a reporter of the New York Sun. ‘In
January it may sell for $2 a pound, and in
the following June for $5a pound. Twenty-
five years ago the price was 7 cents a
pound. It varies according to the catch,
and this in turn depends on the luck of the
whalers. If they find the whaling grounds
closed by ice, meet with shipwreck, or for
any reason fail to kill whales, the price will
goup. This makes it a speculative busi-
ness, and the dealers can never tell what
their stock is worth until they get news of
the catch.

‘The main supply from the north Pacific
whalers comes in November, and a smaller
amount from the South Sea catch in June.
Now and then a small supply comes from
David's Straits in Hudson’s Bay. Whales
are caught there at all seasons of the year,
and the bone coming to New York is apt to
disturb the price here. Many years ago it
was the custom of whaling captains when
out of stores to stop at some Pacific port and
exchange some of their whalebone for the
necessary articles, and in this way small
lots would come in to trouble the market.
Ships are now supplied so thoroughly that
there is no longer any necessity of continu-
ing this practice. {

“Occasionally news of the whalers is re-
ceived from some vessel which chanced to
meet with them, and recently an incident of
this kind caused a break in the market.
The Arctic oil works of San Francisco sent
a tender, the Thomas Pope, to convey stores
to its vessels in the North Sea. The sdason
had been a very severe one, and the tender
found that the vessels had been kept back
by the ice and were waiting a chance to go
north. ‘They had had, however, very good
luck in meeting whales, and had killed 110.
Instead of returning empty, the tender took
ona full cargo, and two weeks ago she
landed at San Francisco 210,000 pounds of
whalebone, The price at once broke from
$3.60 to $2.50 a pound, where it now re-
mains.

“The whalers will be pretty much all in
by December, and in January the price of
wholebone is generally at its lowest point.
After that it ascends, and its future pro-
gress depends on the June and November
eatches.

‘““The whalebone business is very small
compared with what it was thirty years ago.
In 1850 the catch was 3,445,200 pounds, and
in 1884 it was 426,968 pounds. This great
decrease was due to the great falling off in
the whale oil fisheries, and to the substitu-
tion of other material for whalebone in the
manufacture of various articles. The de-
crease in production sent the price up from
75 cents a pound, and another reason for
high prices is that a great part of the catch
is exported. Last year 113,024 pounds were
sent abroad. The supply comes from New
Bedford and San Francisco, which are the
great whaling ports of this country. A
great amount formerly came from Nan-
tucket, but the shallowness of its harbor and
the greater conveniences of New Bedford
airove its trade to the latter place. There
are now about one hundred and thirty-three
vessels engaged in the whale fisheries.

The visible supply of whalebone on hand
is 244,000 pounds, and the price is so low
that dealers are losing money on it. If the
fall catch is a poor one it wHl send prices
up again. The price would probably have
been lower, but news have been received of
the wrecking of one steamer and three ships
in the North Pacific.

The bone from finback, sulphur-bottom,
or humpback whales, such as are commonly
seen near Long Island, is of no value, as it
is too brittle to be of any use. On board
ship the slabs of whalebones, as they are
termed in mercantile phrase, are done up in
bundles of about 200 pounds each, and are
sent to market in that shape. In eniting
up whalebone there is a loss of about twenty
per cent. on the raw material. The ‘hair’
is worth ten cents a pound for mixing with
horsehair for upholstering purposes, and it
issometimes used in the manufacture of
brushes.”

A substitute for india-rubber and gutta-
percha has lately appeared in the shape of
Mimusops globosa, which, being interpret-
ed, is the dried milk of the bullet tree. It is
a native of Guiana and is said by Sir Wil-
liam Holmes to exhibit the elasticity of in-
dia-rubber while showing none of its in-
tractability, and to possess much of the
ductile character of gutta-percha without
displaying its friability. ‘The best gum in
the world,” is the recent verdict of an
American firm of manufacturers. The Govy-
ernment botanist of British Guiana in a late
report credits it with great strength, and it
is recommended for machine belting. It
suffers no deterioration from exposure to
sun and air; being in this respect superior to
gutta-percha. It also possesses electric
qualities not excelled by gutta-percha. The
new gum, which is called Balata, is a regu-
lar article of commerce in Guiana, where it
is collected, prepared, and generally regard-
ed as a superior kind of gutta-percha; this
itis not, the various tests which it has
undergone showing it to differ in some es-
sential particulars, being softer at ordinary
temperatures and Jess rigid in cold ones.
It seems destined, for a time at least, to oc-
cupy middle ground between the two pro-
duets with which it has been compared.

‘ MUSKEGON IN LINE.

 

Organization of the Retail Trade of That
City.

The retail trade of Muskegon has effected
an organization, to be known as the ‘‘Gro-
cers’ Association of the City of Muskegon.”
The aims and objects of the organization
are admirably set forth in the following de-
claration of principles:

Fostering a more social feeling among the
members of the trade.

Prevention of wholesale houses selling at
retail to private families.

Keeping a black-list of ‘‘Beats” who prey
upon the trade, and a reliable collection
agency for bad debts:

Intelligence bureau where members can
procure reliable help.

Formation of a library, containing useful
books of information for the benefit of the
grocer and the clerk.

Procuring a system of inspecting weights
and measures. —

To use our united efforts to have the pre-
sent disgraceful nuisance of peddling and
peddlers, put under proper restraints and a
heavy license.

To afford farmers and gardners who _ pro-
duce theirown goods, an opportunity to sell
the same without a license, in the public
market of the city, but they shall not peddle
any of their goods from house to housg with-
out a vendor’s license.

Protection against adulterated goods, fic-
ticious labels, dishonest tares, short weights
and measures.

Shortening the hours of labor whenever
practicable, and many other reforms that
can be easily and successfully secured by
united effort.

The following circular has been addressed
to the trade:

A part of the work of organizing has al-
ready been done. Much yet remains to do,
and we trust we shall have the hearty co-
operation of every grocer, butcher and
marketman in the city, for the following
reasons:

Because in union there is strength.

Because it would foster a more cordial
feeling among the members of the trade.

Because we have everything to gain and
nothing to lose by associating ourselves to-
gether in an honorable business way.

Because it is not fair that the few should
battle unaided, for the rights and privileges
of the entire trade.

Finally, because it is a duty you owe your
neighbor grocers, as well as yourself and
your customers, to take a manly and digni-
fied stand in defense of our rights.

This can be accomplished by co-operation
easily and effectually.

You are personally solicited to join us.
We now have about thirty members and we
need you and every tradesman in the city.
Our next meeting will be held on Wednes-
day evening, Sept. 30, at C. C. Moulton’s
commission house. Let your presence at
the meeting be an encouragement to those
who have started this movement.

At the last regular meeting a committee
of one in each ward was appointed to solicit
memberships. He is authorized to collect
the membership fees of 50 cents, and you
are requested to sign the book he carries for
that purpose.

The Michigan Salt Association’s Power
Waning.

Correspondence East Saginaw News.

The Courier felt quite positive that‘fine
salt was selling freely at eighty cents in this
market, and their giving the Salt Associa-
tion as authority led many Association man-
ufacturers to anticipate quite an advance
when they received their monthly returns,
but alas, the returns did not pan outas well
as expected, and sixty-five cents for Aug-
gust sales was the official return made to
Association members last Saturday. The
fact is the salt market is ina precarious con-
dition and liable to a sudden check at any
moment. The State report shows a steady
increase in the manufacture of salt, and the
report for year ending Dec. 1 will show an
increase of about 200,000 barrels over last
year. The advance made by the Associa-
tion has already proved a bonanza to New
York manufacturers and the works at Le
Roy, Warsaw, Mt, Morris and Syracuse are
crowding train loads of salt west. Not only
have they succeeded in ousting Michigan
salt from many points on the Lake Shore
road, but in the sale of solar and dairy salt
have gained a foothold right here in East
Saginaw, one firm alone purchasing 1,000
barrels, which they would have willingly
purchased of our own manufacturers had
the acted ina reciprocal manner. On the
contrary they insisted upon Chieago prices,
and as usual got left. There is no question
in the minds of many that St. Clairriver and
Manistee are the coming centers of Michi-
gan for the production of fine salt, and that
this Valley will have to take a back seat in
this respect within the next five years. The
Cleveland Rolling Mill Co., in boring for
natural gas last week, struck a vein of salt
169 feet thick at a depth of 1,985 feet. What
is to prevent their turning toand making
salt if they should feel so disposed and sell-
ing,same at a price that would leave both

New York and Michigan out in the cold?

The Grocery Market.

Business and collections continue good.
Sugars have declined since last week, and
Standard A has ruled so high tha@ the local
jobbers have been unable to handle it to ad-
vantage, as it is easily substituted by Con-
fectionery A. Other articles in the grocery
line are about steady.

Oranges are scarce and higher. Lemons
are atrifle lower. Nuts and candy are
steady.

Chicago druggists, under the new law
regulating the sale of liquors, must pay $1
for a permit to sell them for medicinal, me-
chanical, sacramental and chemical purposes.
A record must be made of the date and
quantity sold, with the name of the pur-
chasers. -Failure to observe the provisions
of the law is punished by a fine of not legs
than $100.

 

 

FASHIONABLE GROCERY STORES.

They Look Like Banks and Are a Great
Attraction.
From the New York Sun.

The number of fine grocery stores in New
York is increasing very rapidly, and some of
the more successful establishments seem
more like banks or brokers’ offices than
groceries. The clerks are polite and dapper
young men, who would scorn to wear an
apron, and the range of edibles extends from
fine liquors all the way down to heavy meats.
It is possible to buy almost any article of
food or any sort of a drink at a fashionable
New York grocery to-day. In some of the
up-town establishments, the clerks meet the
customers at the door, show them exhibits
of whatever they choose to purchase, write
out their slips, send the slips by automatic
messengers down stairs, and the goods are
selected, packed and delivered without a
housekeeper having seen them at all. Under
these circumstances, housekeepers find it an
easy virtue to do their own buying. The
effect of the extension of fine grocery stores
has been widespread. It has done much to
injure the big markets.

‘““ There was a time,” said a Washington
Market poultry dealer, ‘‘ when ladies came
down here every week, and laid in a store of
provisions. Thatis why so much money was
spent here on elaborate stalls, with brass and
marble finishings. It was hoped that it would
attract the ladies. Great things were proph-
esied for us when the elevated railroad was
finished, but it has all come to nothing. We
deliver goods up-town, and undersell all the
up-town people, but we can’t get the house-
keepers down here. If it wasn’t for the
restaurants, things would dwindle still more.
These up-town grocers have also eaten up
lots of small shops. Many a man was able
to support a small family by keeping a little
shop full of poultry and eggs, a fruit stand,
or acigar store. The grocers now sell all
of these things at prices that ruin small
dealers, and so the little shops have disap-
peared. I don’t know that I can blame
ladies for patronizing the grocers either. It
is reasonable enough to me that it is much.
pleasanter to go to a large and handsome es-
tablishment than to come down here or to go
buying at small places.”

Poor Fellow.

‘‘Mister, will you please give me enough
to buy some medicine with? My wife is
very sick.”

“‘What’s the matter with her?”

“Well, you see, I hit her with a shovel

last night, and she’s very bad off to-day.”
i
Worse than Wooden Nutmegs.

In Kresnawcerak, Russia, a grocer has
been convicted of grinding up old cigar-
boxes in a tan bark mill, and after flavoring
the ground cedar with oil of cinnamon sell-
ing the product for ground cinnamon.

C. C. Williams, the Wayland cheese mak-
er, captured a $20 premium on his goods at
the State Fair.

Freeport people are agitating the subject
of establishing a creamery at that place, and
there is strong probability that the project
will become an established fact. Reigler,
Roush & Co. are understood to be the lead-
ing spirits in the movement.

A cheese dealer states that much of the
so-called English cheese is made in this
country and shipped to England, whence it
is returned enhanced in value by the sea
voyage. Sometimes cheeses are shipped
backward and forward two or three times,
each voyage adding to the richness of their
flavor.

News and Gossip Furnished by Our Own
Correspondents.

Detroit.

Sept. 25—The depression which has marked
the prosecution of many manufacturing in-
dustries at this market during the past two
years is gradually receding, in consequence
of which, most of our manufacturers are
cherishing the belief that an era of unexam-
pled prosperity is now before them. And as

, near as our correspondent can ascertain, most

of our mechanical producers are in shape to
take advantage of every favorable wind.

Chester B. Turner, the veteran machinist,
has invented an engine which embodies an en-
tirely new application of steam. Mr. Turner
claims that his engine is more economieal than
any other engine made—that is, it uses 30 per
cent. less steam than the ordinary slid-
ing valve engine. He has disposed of a
half interest in the patent to 8. F. Hodges
& Co., who have already constructed one en-
gine after Mr. Turner’s patterns, which is so
satisfactory that the manufacture of the en-
gine on a large seale will be immediately be-
gun.

J. Michels has invented and applied for a
patent ona matcher which dresses and matches
two boards at the same time, and will work up
to sixteen inches in width.

The Huyett & Smith Manufacturing Co. has
turned out more blowers and fans during the
past two months thanin any four months in
the previous history of the company. Two %2
inch wheel blowers have recently been com-
pleted for the Phil. Best Brewing Co., of Mil-
waukee.

A new corporation will shortly be organized,
to be known as the Leadbeater Economy Fuel
Co. The patent consists of a mechanical pro-
cess which enables steam users to make use
of hard coal screenings, whieh cost only the
cartage, by means of forcing a steam draft
through the furnace. The system is claimed
to reduce the cost of fuel fully 60 per cent.
Among those who will be interestedinthe new
company are Mr. Leadbeater, the inventor,
Samuel Post, W. L. Post and T. C. Rogers.

F. Lunkenheimer, who acted as agent for the
Detroit Lubricator Co. at Cincinnati for about
three years, since which time he has begun the
manufacture of lubricators on his own ac-
count, has lately been made the defendant in
an action for infringement, brought by the
company above referred to. The company also
gives notice that purchasers of lubricators
made by Lunkenheimer will be held responsi-
ble for the same.

The Detroit Radiator Co. has beeome
possessed of a mechanical process for con-
verting Bessemer steel into open work of
all descriptions, such as screens, fencing,
grates, carriage seats, prison bars, ete. The
process greatly increases the strength of the
metal, and is destined to bring stee] into many
new uses.

F. W. Marvin, presidentofthe Michigan Lu-
bricator Co., has recently returned from a suc-
cessful business trip through the manfactur-
ing districts of Ohio. The company has lately
received a number of heavy export orders, in-
cluding one from Australia.

The Buh! Iron Works, which have been shut
down since July 1, are to be re-opened under
the management of the late employes. The
men said they believed they could make a liv-
ing if the works were started again, and were
given permission to start for themselves. The
managers say they do not propose to open the
works themselves for some time yet, believing
the iron business to be stagnant, but they are
willing to let the men try the business.

Woodville. .

The West Michigan Luinber Co. has en-
gaged to build for the Thayer and the Ives
lumber companies, a branch railroad from
this place to a point one and one-half miles
south of Lumberton. The road, which will
be about three miles in length, will extend
through valuable pine timber, which those
companies will take by rail to Muskegon.

D. Holines, who has charge of the West
Michigan Luinber Co.’s store at this place,
is in Chicago purchasing goods in his lines.

A comnittee from Michigan City has been
negotiating withthe West Michigan Lumber
Co. for land on which to establish a German
colony.

G. W. Crawford and Charles Tompkins,
lumbermen of Big Rapids, were in this place
on Friday. Mr. Crawford will cut a piece
of pine timber which he has a few miles
from this place, and is negotiating for the
sale of the logs.

Luther.

Wilson, Luther & Wilson’s logging en-
gine was laid up for repairs last week.

James Palmer, of Chase, who opened a
meat market here a short time ago, has evi-
dently given up the idea, as he ‘has not
opened up for a week back.

J. M. Verity, furniture dealer, was in

. Grand Rapids Friday.

W. B. Pool, hardware merehant, is in
Jackson, helping W. M. Hartupee & Co.
take their inventory. Mr. Poo! willbe gone
about two weeks.

Word has been received from the officials
of the G. R. & I. that work is to commence
this week to extend the Manistee branch of
the road to Manistee.

Big Rapids.

Lindbloom Bros., three yonng men, have
rented one of P. A. Erickson’s new stores, at
the upper depot, and will put in a grocery
stock.

F. W. Joslin has sold his unexpired lease
to J. 8. Lit, of Detroit, who will open the
store with a stock of clothing and hats and
caps on Saturday morning, October 3. Mr.
Joslin will ship his stock at once to Ash-
ville, N. C. His family will remain in Big
Rapids until another summer.

Morrell’s New York Store on East Maple
street opened on the 28th with dry goods,
hardware, tinware, and a job lot of tea.

The night of the 15th the Hewitt & Mc-
Elwee planing mill, with 100,000 feet of
lumber, one Blue Line car and office burned.
The estimated loss is $15,000;,ingured for
$7,000, as follows: German American,
$1,000; Lancashire, $1,000; Fire Association
$1,500; American, $1,500; Insurance Com-
pany of North America, $1,000; Pennsyl-
vania, $1,000. The mill did a large busi-
ness in dressing car iots, also in the manu-
facture of mouldings for the New York city
market. ‘

W. D. Moody, has purchased the steamer
E. L. Morris, of Holland parties, and has
launched the same at Clear Lake.

Mrs. C. E. Allen, of the City Bakéry, has
sold out to Wood & Ayers, who took pos-
session last Friday. Mr. Jay Wood is an
old resident here. Mr. Ayers is from In-

diana.
enna

Muskegon.
Mrs. R. Kieft, who has conducted a retail
grocery business on Third street for several
years past, recently gave Hawkins & Perry,

 

of Grand Rapids, a chattel mortgage on the
stock for $480, which included their claim
and $200 paid other preferred creditors.
Shields, Bulkley & Lemon subsequently se-
cured a second mortgage for $500, but Fox,
Musselman & Loveridge preferred not to
take any security for their claim, which
amounted to $245. The stock inventories
about $800, and Hawkins & Perry are anx-
ious to find a purchaser.

Making Steam-Engines Economical.

 

From the Mechanical News.

In selling steam-engine attachments and
improvements, the man who can demoi-
strate that his attachment is going to effeci
a large saving isthe party who gets most
customers. Unless there is some prospects
of a device effecting a saving of from 10 to
50 per cent., few engine owners or steam
users will listen to him. There are some-
times curious ways of proving that a sav-
ing has been effected. A well-known en-
gineering expert once had occasion to exam-
ine the engine of a steamer on one of the
inland lakes. He found it in a bad shape,
and wished to have some repairs done. The
owner would not listen to the suggestions
till he heard there was a probability of sav-
ing 20 per cent. of coal at asmall outlay.
The cylinder was badly out of round, and
the practice was followed of jamming the
piston packing in very tight to prevent leak-
age as far as possible. Owing to this the
engine would not move until the boiler had
a pressure of twenty pounds of steam. The
expert had the cylinder bored out, and put
in good steam-packing. When that was
done and the engine lined up, he had steam
raised. So soon as there was ten pounds of
steam shown on the guage, he called out to
east off and get the boat out. The owner
protested that there was no use trying to
start out till they had more steam, but the
expert insisted that there was steam enough
and the engine was. started, and the boat
moved out in good shape. The owner was
so astonished at the immediate improvement
that he paid for the work without any more
trial.

The same expert wanted to put a balanced
valve and some other improvements ona
river steamer. The owner did not care to
incur the expense, but was brought round
by a promise that the engine would make
ten more turns. The old valve was leak-
ing badly and was not properly set, besides
the engine needed lining up. The expert
gave the engine a small over hauling at the
time the balanced valve was put in, and had
no difficulty in getting the additional ten
turns. We believe that in a great many in-
stances it will be found that the inventor
expects to get part of his saving through his
skill in selections not entirely connected
with the device he sells.

both cut soas to form dies, which produce
the thread. The blanks are formed in a
separate machine, and are then placed, sev-
eral hundred at a time, ina hopper in which
works a lifter having a vertical motion. At
each dip the lifter fishes out of the mass of
blanks a number, which arrange themselves
head upwards in a groove along which they
are automatically carried to the forming
portion of the machine. This consists of a
revolving circular die, between which and a
stationary section the blanks are carrried
forward, their revolution under compression
producing the thread which is raised on the
blank. This was effected without cutting or
waste in the machine we saw  operat-
ed, at the rate of a gross, or 144 screws, per
minute. The screw thus formed is found
to possess many advantages over the ordi-
nary screw with the eut thread. These ad-
vantages, besides being apparent on the
face of it, are admitted by experts who have
thoroughly tested the Harvey screw. In the
first place it has a true gimlet point,drawing
the screw into the wood in a straight course,
and doing away almost entirely with the use
of the gimlet. The thread is found to be
much stronger, the metal being rolled up
and compressed. In the ordinary serew at
at present in use the fiber is cut, and there-
by weakened. Another point of great
value is that the neck of the Harvey screw
is of smaller diameter than the thread,
whereas, in the ordinary screw the neck is
larger than the thread, necessitating in hard
wood the use of two gimlets to avoid split-
ting.

Connecting Steam and Water Power.
From the Saw Mill Gazette.

Connecting steam and water power to-
gether is a very good plan under most con-
ditions, but they should be so connected that
when the machines are running idle, the
water wheels run the engine instead of the
engine running the water wheel. By this
we mean, run the water wheel faster than

 

the steam engine. If you connect the wheels

to drive the main shaft 300 revolutions per
minute, speed the engine so it will drive it
295 or 296. Ifthe engine governor is very
sensitive and cuts off steam with a variation

of one or two revolutions per minute, then |

you canspeed it 298 or 299 accordingly.
When so connected, the water wheel will
run the engine fast enough to keep the gov-
ernor closed when no work is being done.
When the load is put on, the speed slackens
up a little and the engine gets a chance to
do something. If, under common eondi-
tions, we were to design a steam plant to
supplement water by putting in a number of
small turbine wheels, and utilize the steam
in the same manner, by putting in a number
of small high speed steam engines, connect
one direct to each separate machine,

thus doing away with tons of heavy shaft- |

ing, big pulleys and costly belts.

success.

  

 

Cranky Machines. |
|

From Wood and Iron.

There are times when nearly all machines
get cranky. The trouble is often a simple one
and is not infrequently owing to the machinist
not knowing his business. But that is not
always the case. The very best mechanic
in the world gets hold of anut that is very
difficult to erack. A machine, no matter of
what kind, may word perfectly for months,
and then one day something goes wrong
with it. The machinist looks’ at it, exam-

 

ines it, and perhaps he even takes it to
pieces and puts it up again, but all of no |
avail; the machine still remains like a
balky horse, which nothing will make go.
At last the machinist gets tired and goes
home, sick of puttering with the trouble-
some thing. He comes to work the next
day, perhaps having forgotten the previous
trouble, touches a handle here and a wheel
there, drops a little oil in half a dozen
places, turns on the steam and off she goes
without a murmur, as if nothing had ever
happened. It cannot be explained by any
one. The only conclusion to be drawn is that
he omitted, on the occasion of the stoppage,
those little necessary touchings of handles,
turning of wheels and droppings of oil.
a
A German investigator maintains that
cast iron buildings will endure fire better
than those of wrought iron. He pronounces
concrete to be superior to brick, granite or
sandstone.

crowd who can look down in that hole, and
examine what comes out of it and say there
is no God, no Creator of this universe, he is
a fool.” Suppose I had said that; suppose
any minister had said it; the reply would
have been, ‘‘Give us arest, we pay you to
preach on Sunday, but not all the week
long.”

I was interested in that man, for I thought
he was walking in the right line, and
watched carefully his work for a few days;
in a town a few days before I learned he
had spent the nightin the hotel in whipping
out in debate all the skeptics in the town;
the next night in a different town, he sat
down and carefully read the latest book on
science; the next night I found him in a
minister’s study getting down the best com-
mentaries on God’s word, looking up and
studying the difficult passages of Revela-
tion. Suppose you turn the five hundred
thousand commercial men in the United
States loose with a spirit of  intelli-
gence like that; where would the un-
righteousness of the world be in the twelve
months to come? Can the church do any
better in her spiritual work than to pray
that there may be more men in your class
like this; five hundred thousand commercial
travelers in the United States, and they do
more traveling, see more people, than any
five million you can pick out of our popula-
tion. If they are a power for good, they
are a wonderful power for good; if they are
a power for evil, they are a wonderful
power for evil.

There is not a man but who likes to be
prayed for by a man or woman that he re-
spects sincerely in their Christian life.
Lord Byron, skeptic and infidel as he was,
said, when he heard of a good Christian
lady praying for him: “‘T would rather
have the prayers of that saint that the
united reputation of Alexander, Charle-
magne, and Napoleon Bonaparte.”

Queen Victoria went incognito into one of
the small towns of her kingdom; she went
on the Sabbath day to the church; the minis-
ter did not know that the Queen was in his
presence; but, as was his custom, he made
an earnest prayer for the welfare of his
Queen. She went afterward and made her-
self known to Norman McLeod, for such
he was, who afterward became the Queen’s
chaplain.

We cannot do better for ourselves, or for
the world, than to make frequent prayers
for this class of ourfellowmen. Your con-
stant aim is to make your appointments;
you mark out where you will be Monday,
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday,
and Saturday, of this week and of every
week; and you keep your appointments if
it isat all possible. Have you ever thought
that God has marked out an appointment
for every day and every hour in your life?
that you should try to meet his appoint-
ments as well as the appointments of your
house or the appointments you make for
yourself? it isnot always your fault that
you do not meet God’s appointments; it is
sometimes the fault of the man you trade
with; for he will trade on Sunday. It is
sometimes the fault of the house you repre-
sent. There are houses that send men out
as their agents and say, ‘‘Don’t you rest on
the Sabbath; travel from one town to
another, or if you find a customer that will
buy, why, sell to him; don’t let one-seventh
of your time go to waste.” Let me say such
@ house as that never prospered in the his-
tory of our country, and it never will pros-
per, and it is just that it should not pros-
per.

In the summer of 1852, when the steam-
boat Henry Clay was making her way up
the Iludson River, she expleded, and sank
to the bottom of the river; there were many
men drowned at that time.” There one
man drowned who was famous in the city
ot New York; that man was the Hon.
Stephen Allen; a man who became opulent |

NTERFEIT MONEY.

_

co

 

The Manner in which it is Collected to be
Destroyed..
From the New York Sun.

‘““ANVhat becomes of the counterfeit money
that is surrendered or seized from counter-
feiters?” was the question put to Chief
Drummond of the Treasury Secret Service.
The question was prompted by the story of
two errand boys, Johnny Sharrats and
Harry Kelly, of West New Brighton, Staten
Island, one of whem was tempted a few
days ago to steal $515 of counterfeit national
bank notes which he saw lying in a desk
drawer of his employer, a United States
Comunissioner, and supposed was good, and
which he and his companion subsequently
passed on tradesmen in this city and at Coney
Island.

Chief Drummond said that it was unusual
for any one to have possession of counterfeit
money in large or small sums except coun-
terfeiters and the lawful United States cus-
todians. Tradesmen and others might have
possession of one or two bills or coins,
which have been passed on them, and which
they retained as curiosities, but if they kept
a collection of spurious money in their
drawer their motives would be apt to be
mistrusted. The law and the Treasury reg-
ulations are very strict about the possession
of counterfeit money when the possessor
knows it to be such. When curiosity col-
lectors keep the money in scrap book or in
other ways, they are liable to arrest on the
charge of having counterfeit money in their
possession. So stringent is the law that
even imitations of Uncle Sam’s notes or coins
for the purposes of advertising are forbidden.

The secret service officers collect once a
month all the counterfeit money from the
United States officials who have temporary
charge of it as evidence. The money is
locked up in a safe, and every six months,
if no longer needed as evidence against
counterfeiters, it is forwarded, along with
what is seized in bulk, to Custodian Rock,
of the Treasury Department, for destruction.
The money is inventoried and described, and
receipts are kept of all that is surrendered.
The bills are macerated and the coin is melted
down in the Treasury mill at Washington.

The secret service was not aware of the
existence of the $515 in the office of the
United States Commissioner who was robbed
or it would have confiscated it. In the past
eight years, the officers have sent about
$500,000 counterfeit money of all descrip-
tions to Washington. The biggest amount
was captured in the Brockway case.

A dog was blown to pieces lately at Pem-
brey, Carthmarthenshire, under the follow-
ing circumstances; Several scientists were
making experiments of dynamite in a barn
among the Welch hills. ‘The charge of
dynamite, with a five minutes’ fuse attached,
was thrown into the water; and the power
of the explosive was judged by the volume
of water forced up by the concussion.
While the operations were proceeding, a
sportsman, accompanied by his dog, ap-
peared on the scene; and as another dyna-
mite charge was thrown into the lake, the
animal instantly sprang into the water and
seized the explosive, which it quickly

Bluing Paper.

Indigo paper for use in the laundry is one
of the novelties recently introduced into
Germany and France. It is simply bibu-
lous paper soaked in a strong solution of in-
digo and afterwards dried. Its advantages
over ordinary indigo, ultramarine, and com-
mercial wash blues are that the amount of
coloring matter can be most accurately ad-
justed to the wants of the consumer, and it
is in a form freely soluble in water. The
idea is a good one, and one that our enter-
prising druggists will no doubt quickly
seize upon, as there is no patent upon the
invention, in America at least.
