THE SINS OF THE FATHERS.
{Continued from last week.]

He could employ it to good purpose, and
he knew of no better thing than for a man
to care for his own children.

It was along conflict with himself that
Heinrich Bruner had that night, as he lay
upon his bed, turning thoughts like these
slowly and confusedly in his brain, but it
ended at length, and as he fell into a trou-
bled sleep he had decided to keep the
money. When he came down stairs the
next morning, he found that Jacob had re-
turned in the night, but he apparently had
heard of no one in Lancaster whose money
had been lost. Nor did such news reach
the Bruner farm on succeeding days. On
the next market day Susanna carried the
marketing to Lancaster, instead of her hus-
band, and Sigismund accompanied her, well
pleased that the lot of driver had fallen to
him. When she returned in the afternoon
Heinrich listened anxiously to hear what
town news she had brought, but Susanna
had nothing of greater interest to relate
than that her eggs had broughtja good price;
that an old customer had praised her cheese
highly, declaring that it was the best on
market, and that Sigismund had worried
her by driving too fast. When it was evi-
dent that there was nothing more to tell,
Heinrich felt more easy than before. Had
there been any excitement about the lost
money Susanna would certainly have heard
it talked of on the market, and in this com-
fortable frame of mind he forgot to reprove
Sigismund, much to his wife’s silent won-
der. On the next market-day he went him-
self to Lancaster, but before starting he
drew from the black wallet, still lying in
the old chest, two thousand dollars, which,
after market hours, he deposited in the bank
where his other funds were kept. ‘The next
week he earried to Lancaster double that
amount, which, to avert a possible suspic-
ion, he placed in another bank; and so, from
time to time, he continued to deposit money
in the two banks until nearly the whole
amount he had found was removed from the
chest. And so the spring went by, and as
Heinrich heard nothing of the owner of the
black wallet, he almost ceased to think of
the twenty thousand dollars as having ever
belonged to another than himself. -

Early in July Franz Dieffenbach came to
speak with him about Johanna, and he was
very glad to be able to say hat he would
give eight thousand dollars to Johanna the
day she was married. Of the remainder of
the money he had found, he said to himself
that Jacob should have ten thousand, while
two thousand should go upon interest for
Walter. He thought Franz seemed surpris-
ed when he announced what he would give
Johanna, and so, in truth, the young man
was, for he had not supposed old Heinrich
had so much to spare. As muchas he could
get with Johanna he meant to take, but
Heinrich Bruner had done the honest Franz
some injustice in thinking he would not
take Johanna without a marriage portion,
if there was none to be had.

Ona Sunday morning, late in October,
the marriage took place in the Mennonite
meeting-house nearest the Bruner farm.. It
was a plain brick building, with a center
aisle dividing the sisters’ seats from those
of the brothers, and at the end opposite the
door was a platform for the elders. On en-
tering, the women hung their black sun-
bonnets in a long row on the wall above
their seats, while a corresponding row of
hooks on the opposite wall was soon adorn-
ed with the broad hats of the brethren. A
wedding was.an event that no one cared to
miss, and all the families in the neighbor-
hood, as well as all the Bruner kin from far
and near, were present, many of the men
kissing each other solemnly on entering,
after the custom of the sect. <A long ser-
mon followed the opening service, which
was mainly devoted to remarks upon the
mutual duties of married life; upon the ob-
ligation on one side to submit, and on the
other to love and protect; and the preacher
concluded by requesting the two persons
proposing marriage to present themselves
before him. Johanna, who by this time
had ‘‘entered the meeting,” and put on the
plain dress, came forward from the women’s
side of the house, a litle pale, and with eyes
which saw only the preacher and the sturdy
figure of Franz, who was now beside her.
They were a handsome pair as they stood
up in view of the congregation, which gazed
at them approvingly, and if Johanna was to
be judged by her resemblance to her mother,
then it would be easy to prophesy that her
face would always remain as sweet and
placid as now, even after wrinkles had gath-
ered upon it; but the good looks of the groom
were of a transitory kind; his features would
coarsen and grow heavy with years, although
still remaining as good-natured in expres-
sion as at present.

When the ceremony was over, there fol-
lowed a half-hour of congratulations and
hand-shakings, and then, after Johanna had
said her farewell to her parents and brothers,
Franz lifted her tenderly into his buggy, and
drove off to his own home, five miles away,
which was awaiting its new mistress. ,

And rolled on its harmonious way
Into the boundless realms of space!”

Not many weeks after this event, as Jacob |
and his father were mending a bit of broken |
fence in a remote part of the farm, the
young man broached a subject to his father
that had long been the first thought in his
own mind—that of his marriage. Jacob was
not like any of the Bruners in appearance,
for, instead of being solidly built like them,
with broad, heavy features, he was some-
what slender, with a face that was even re-
fined. Indeed, he was unlike any Bruner
that Heinrich had ever known, but Susanna
declared he was very like her brother Fritz, |
who had died when she was a girl. He |
was her favorite of all the children, but
both she and her husband were somewhat
in awe of this son, who was so different
from the others in the family nest. For
some reason he had conceived a dislike to
the Pennsylvania Dutch dialect, which was
always used at home, and never would
speak it when he could make himself clear-
ly understood in English. He was fond of
reading, too, which his father regarded as
foolishness, tending to make folks lazy, his
own reading being chiefly confined to the
perusal of ‘‘Baer’s Almanac,” a frequently
consulted copy of which hung _ be-
hind the kitchen door. However, as much
reading had not produced in Jacob the cor-
responding laziness that might have been
expected, Heinrich was disposed to think
that in isolated cases no harm might follow
the practice, but he was firmly resolved,
nevertheless, to repress studious impulses in
his other sons. He listened now quite pa-
tiently to all that Jacob had to say, but it
was some moments before he attempted
reply.

“Well, it ish good for young men to
marry,” ‘rved slowly, and after a
pause, duriug which he fitted a rail to its
place, repeating, “‘it ish good for young
men to marry when they find some girl who
ish good to work.”

“Yes, yes, father,” said Jacob, repressing
his dislike toward his father’s practical view
of the matter: ‘‘of course it is better for a
man to marry, but he must have something
to live on, and I wanted to know what you
would be willing to do for meif I mar-
ried.”

“And have you found the girl to marry
you yet, already?” asked Heinrich, witha
circumflex accentuation of the word ‘‘mar-|
ry.”

Yes, father; it is Mary Landis, at Litiz,” |
responded Jacob, ‘‘but she is nota ‘Dutch’
girl, however.”

“Nicht Deutsch!” exclaimed Heinrich, in
some dismay; ‘‘ah, but that ish bad!”

He would have liked to say more on this;
point, and to inquire if she were good to
work, but his awe of his son prevented.
Jacob wisely made no response to his par-
ent’s exclamation, but waited till he should
speak again. His patience was nearly ex-
hausted before that event took place, but at
last, when two more lengths of fence had
been repaired, Heinrich turned about and
looked at his son.

‘See here once, Jacob,” he began, ‘‘you
have the right to marry as you please. If
it was a Dutch girl you would marry it ish
all right, but you does as you pleases. Very
well, itish you are to marry. I will give
you ten thousand dollars, or 1 will buy a
small farm for you with the money.”

It was an extended speech for Heinrich to
make, and he drew a long breath when it
was ended.

“You are a good father to me,” cried
Jacob warmly. ‘‘I did not expect half so
much. But you must not take for me what
belongs to the others,” he added, as a sud-
den thought of their claims passed through
his mind.

“They ish all right. I have enough for
them a’ready, and for you, too, said Hein-
rich, stooping once more to his work; and
after this the fence-building went on in si-
lence. Meanwhile Jacob was thinking of
Mary Landis, and hoping they might be
married before winter was over, and his
father was thinking of the twenty thousand
dollars. How glad he had felt to be able
te surprise Franz Dieffenbach with his gen-
erosity to Johanna, and now here was Jacob
equally surprised at what was to be his
share. Things had gone well with Hein-
rich this year. Never had his farm yielded
so well, or his farm products brought such
high prices. Hardly a twinge of conscience
had visited him on account of his appropri-
ation of the money he had found. If it had
been such a very sinful act, how happened
it that he had prospered ever since that day,
was the question with which he had easily
silenced all self-accusings.

Not long after this conversation a small
farm between the Bruner homestead and
Lancaster being for sale, and the price not
far from the sum Heinrich had promised
his son, it was purchased, after consider-
able discussion between the owner and the
elder Bruner, while Jacob set about furnish-
ing the house, for the marriage was now
fixed for the 10th of February. Heinrich
never objected in his son’s presence to the
fact that thecoming bride was not *‘Dutch,”
although he occasionally confided to Susanna
his fears that she might not prove to be
“good to work,” but Susanna troubled her-

MICHIGAN, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1885. _

pearance, and whose choice must necessar-
ily be a good one. When Jacob’s intentions
were known in the neighborhood there was
the usual discussion of such events, and
some wonder was expressed at his father’s
liberality toward him and Johanna, when
there were yet three children remaining,
since it had not been supposed that Hein-
rich was so wealthy a man, but there was
no suspicion of their neighbor’s honesty.

It was about this time of the year that

found himself obliged to hire anew farm
hand in place of one recently discharged,
and Abel Brubaker, a stout young fellow of
twenty-five, presenting himself for the pos-
ition and proving himself satisfactory, after
a short trial, was engaged ‘for a year. He
was a young manf. frank, open manners,
always ready to/.1o whatever was required
of him, and he not unnaturally became a
favorite with his employer. One day, as
Abel was assisting Andrew Landis in some
piece of farm work, he happened to remark
that he wondered why his employer had
never purchased an adjoining field which
projected awkardly from a neighbor’s farm
into his own, and the possession of which
would give his property much better shape.

“T had intended to buy that fleld and to
build a new barn also last spring,” Andrew
responded, ‘tand was meaning to enlarge
the house, too; but I was so unfortunate as
to lose a large sum of money just as my
plans were complete, and on that account I
was obliged to give up doing as I wanted.”

“Ts that so? How much did you lose?”
asked Abel, with interest.

“About twenty thousand dollars,”
the reply.

Abel could not find words to express his
sense of the magnitude of such a loss, and
stood with mouth half open and hands at
his side gazing at Mr Landis, while the oth-
er continued.

“It was the first of April, and I had very
foolishly drawn at one time from the bank
all [ thought I should need, for t meant to
begin the barn and buy the land that very
week, but before I left Lancaster I found I
had lost the whole of it. Either some one
robbed me or the wallet must have slipped
from my pocket.”

**And you never heard of it yet, [ sup-
pose?” interposed Abel at this point.
“Not a word. I advertised, of
but nothing came of it. I thought I might
possibly have lost it at the Cross Keys sta-
bles, where I had put up my horses, and so I
searched about there very carefully, but, of

course, to no purpose.”

Andrew Landis ended with a sigh. He
was not rich a man that the loss of so
much money could be easily forgotten or be
otherwise than a very serious thing to him.

Was

course,

SO

But Abel's voice broke in upon his
thoughts.
“T was a hostler at the Cross Keys

a’ready.”

To this his employer made no reply, either
because he failed to see a special relevancy
in the remark, or did not notice clearly
what was said.

‘Yes, I was a hostler at the Cross Keys
wready, repeated Abel; ‘‘but I left there the
last day of March, though I had to go back
the next day to get a coat I had left.”

Andrew Landis began now to notice what
Brubaker was saying to him.

“Tt was an old coat, but [ hadn’t so many
clothes I could afford to lose any, so 1 went
to the stable the next afternoon for it.”

Landis paused now in his work and look-
ed earnestly at the young man, as if he had
a faint hope of getting through him a clue
to the lost money-

“You couldn’t have been there a’ready,”
Abel went on, ‘or I should have heard
something then about the money.”

The countenance of the elder man fell,
and he resumed his work. ‘There was no
clue here then.

“Tt had left my coat in the stable, you
see,” pursued Abel, ‘‘and when I was com-
ing out with it I saw a man picking up
something from the straw. It looked likea
wallet as near as I could see, but I thought
he must have dropped it himself, for he
didn’t stop to look into it. Ishouldn’t have
thought of it again but for what you have
just told me. It might have been your
money, now.”

“Did you know the man?” inquired Lan-
dis, with a slight tremble in his voice.

“Jt was Heinrich Bruner, who always put
up his horses at the Cross Keys since I was
there, a’ready, but I never knew what part
of the county he was from. I don’t believe,
though, he would have took your money.
Do you know him at all?” ended Bru-
baker.

A strange feeling had come over Landis
as he heard this name. He knew it well
enough, and he had heard from Jacob what
Heinrich meant to do for his son on his mar-
riage. By a great effort he controlled him-
self before Abel, and answered without any
visible emotion:

“T have seen him on market once or twice,
and, if it is necessary, I can easily find out
where he lives.”

“And if he’s got your money you can
maké him give it up,” remarked Abel, who,
since Bruner was a common name in that

ployer’s, with the Heinrich Bruner he had
known. 4

The dropped at this
point, Abel being required at some other
part of the farm, and Landis was left alone.
If it should prove that Heinrich had taken
this money, he was determined that Mary
should never marry that man’s son, much as
he liked Jacob, and great as he knew the
blow would be to Mary. Perhaps Heinrich
Bruner was an innocent man, but the more
he thought about the matter, his perceptions
sharpened at the prospect of recovering his
money, the less likely it seemed that such
was the case.

The next morning early Andrew Landis
rode off in his eovered wagon, without in-
forming his family of his destination, and
sometime before noon was driving into the
Bruner farmyard. Jacob saw him coming,
and went to meet him, stopping by the way
to repress the farm-dog’s too forcible ex-

conversation

was

pressions of surprise at the appearance of a
stranger.

‘Where is your father, asked
Landis, not without some uneasy feelings as
he met the clear gaze of the young man.

‘““Heis inthe barn, Mr. Landis. Shall !
go with you to find him?” was the reply.
“No; that will not be necessary. I shall
easily find him, I imagine;” and Jacob, sup-
posing that Mary’s father wished to discuss
some marriage preliminaries with the elder
Bruner was content let him
alone.

Heinrich Bruner was not in a comfortable
frame of mind that morning, for, in the
course of a talk with Jacob about the mar-
riage the other had mentioned incidentally
the loss of Andrew Landis’ money, the de-
tails of which he had learned from Mary.
The fear of being found out in some mys-
terious way, which had only rarely hovered
in his mind as a remote possibility, began
to take definite shape,‘now that he was like-
ly to be brought into closer relations with
the man he had wronged. As the visitor
entered the barn Heinrich was stooping over
some pieces of harness which he was mend-
ing, so absorbed in his work that he did not
observe the slight noise made by the other’s
entrance. When at length he raised his
eyes, it was to see, just in front of him,
standing in accusing silence, the object of
his thoughts. At the the leather
strap dropped from his fingers, and

his whole body seemed to become smaller,
as a sudden, irresistible thrill fear ran
through him. For one long minute the two

men gazed at-each other, and the soft coo-

of

ings of the pigeons among the rafters over-
head were the only sounds that broke the
stillness. At last, Andrew Landis spoke,
and there was a hard merciless ring in his
voice:

“Heinrich Bruner, | have come for my
twenty thousand dollars!”

But there was no
seconds Heinrich’s eyes gazed dully at the
speaker, then came a twitching of the mus-
cles of the face, followed by a convulsive
shiver in every limb, and then, with a hor-
rible, inarticulate ery, that rang through the
building and startled the pigeons from their
lofty perch, and the old farmer fell back up-
on the pile of harness in an epileptic fit.
Summoned by the cry, Jacob, who was not
far off, came running to the barn, followed
by Sigismund, who was also within hear-

response. For a few

A Salesman’s Foolish Remark.
From the Detroit Free Press.

One of the requisites of a good salesman
is knowing just what to say, and when to
say it, to customers who are undecided and
hardly know what they want, and to whom
a word spoken at the right time is sufficient
very often to effect Sometimes,
however, salesmen with a desire of assist-
ing a hesitating customer, say things which
have the opposite effect from that intended,
as the following anecdote will show.

a sale.

A gentleman who was several years youn-
ger than his wife, and who was_ besides
small and rather boyish in appearance, en-
tened a dry goods store in a certain inland
town with his wife and requested to be
shown some carpets. The propietor him-
self, to whom as it happened, they were un-
known, waited on them. He showed them *
very politely his extensive stock of carpets,
and exhibited with great pains their beauty
and excellence of quality. The gentleman
and his wife seemed somewhat undecided
as to what suited them among the various
patterns displayed, and the proprietor with
the laudable desire of assisting them to de-
cide, remarked blandly to the gentleman,
pointing to one of the carpets, ‘‘L think, sir,
this is the carpet your mother likes.”

The gentleman looked a little surprised,
but quietly said, ‘‘she is not my mother, sir,
but my wife.”

The lady said nothing, but itis needless
to add that she did not find any carpet to
suit her, and they left the proprietor, who
felt shat he had lost a sale by his unfortu-
nate remark, a sadder and wiser man. If
there is anything that a woman will not
forgive itis to be thought older than she

 

   

is.

BUTTER SUBSTITUTES.

A recent issue of the Detroit News con-
tains the following:

An irate commission merchant on Wood-
bridge street declares that as soon as he can
get rid ef his present accumulation of
streaked, slip-shod, half butter and half
salt dairy butter he will incontinently quit
that line of trade, and thereafter deal only
in creamery and butter substitutes. It is
the inexplicable carelessness of country
dealers in forwarding such stuff to market,
that is thus forcing the butter trade over to
the creameries and the butterine and oleo-
margarine factories.

The News is not much of an authority on
dairy matters, but it is certainly correct in
the final statement above quoted. The won-
derful growth of the bogus butter business
is not entirely due to the fact that butter sub-
stitutes are cheaper than butter, but for the
reason that the product of the butterine fac-
tory is almost invariably uniform and palat-
able, and is always put up in merchantable
shape. It is this point in its favor which
has given butterine a sale which no amount
of legislation can destroy. The dealer can
handle it with confidence, knowing that one
roll is as good as another, and that the same
grade from the same factory will remain
uniform during an entire season.

Tre TRADESMAN is inclined to the be-
lief that no law can be enacted which will
prevent the manufacture and sale of butter-
ine. The law now on the statute books of
this State, providing that butter substitutes
must be sold for what they really are, should
be enforced, and there the question of law
ends and the question of personal prefer-
ence begins. It is criminal to sell a man
butterine when he asks for butter and pays
for the genuine article, but it can never be
made illegal for a merchant to purchase and
sell any article for which there is a legiti-
mate demand. The matter of wholesome-
ness never enters into the question, any
more than a moral fear of the consequences
prevents merchants from selling acid vine-

gars, adtilterated spices and confectionery
or shoddy clothing. .

Judge Thomas M. Cooley’s ‘‘History of
Michigan,” which has just been issued from
the press of Houghton, Mifflin & Co., is one
of the most valuable contributions to the
series of works on ‘‘American Common-
wealths.” The origin of Michigan goes
back nearly to the beginning of French civ-
lization in America, and almost connects
itself with the nameand fame of Champlain.
The early French explorers were familiar
with its territory; they reconnoiterd thor-
oughly its geographic and stategetic pecul-
iarities, its two great gateways of Indian
movemert at the Sault Ste Marie, and the
Straits of Mackinac; and it was so early as
1641, contemporary with the settlement of
Maryland, and three years before William
Penn was born, that the Jesuits, Raymbault
and Jogues established a mission for the
Chippewas at the Sault—which, though it
was discontinued afterward, formed the
foundation of a permanent settlement by
Marquette in 1668, the first within the lim-
its of the present State of Michigan. With
its beginnings thus fixed in that richly ro-
mantic soil of the early French settlement
and exploration, the narrative of the State’s
existence comes to us connected with many
stirring incidents and details—the contest of
France and England for Canada, the grand,
but ineffectual struggle of the Indians to pre-
serve their old home, the War of 1812, with
Hull’s surrender of Detroit and Perry’s Vic-
tory on Lake Erie. :

The compact entered into by the Grand
Rapids jobbing houses relative to making a
cartage charge of three cents per hundred
pounds goes into effect on December 1. On
general principles, THz TRADESMAN con-
siders it no more than just that cartage
should be charged, as the jobber is com-
pelled to pay cartage on all goods purchased
at other markets and it is the custom to pay
eartage at most of the markets competing
with Grand Rapids. The retailer, on the
other hand, will assert that he gets no pay
for goods delivered at the homes of his cus-
tomers, and that such a rule ought to work
both ways. The question is one which must
be settled between every jobbing house and
its patrons, and Tue TRADESMAN is con-

tent to appear in the role of a third party,
and watch the conflict with interest and re-_

The Plainwell Independent, which is ed-
ited by a representative workingman, strikes
the nail squarely on the head in the follow-
ing reference to the labor situation in Grand
Rapids and the boycotting now being car-
ried on here:

The writer is a Union man, has had some
experience in strikes, and the great lesson
he has learned is that what the majority of his
fellow workmen most need are methods of
economy and less waste of life and capital
in drink, smoke and excesses. We should
encourage the savings bank, co-operative
associations, libraries and churches and dis-
courage the saloon. When our laboring men
once begin on this plan, they will have very
little fault to find with capital. They will
become capitalists themselves, and encour-
age employers instead of crippling them.

since I left home. We have been here over
two weeks and I have yet to see the first
cloudy day. The air is just as mild and
balmly as possible. The temperature ranges
about 75 degrees right along now. I will

to see all my old friends within a few weeks

When Tur TRADESMAN printed an article
relative to ‘‘sawdust vinegar” a week or two |
ago, the supposition was that nothing of the
kind was thought of outside of the metrop-
olis. <A visit to a certain Chicago vinegar
factory, however, revealed the fact that the
“sawdust process” had been in use there for
several months, and with excellent success.
‘““We buy our sawdust by the shipload,” said
the enterprising proprietor, ‘‘and prepare it
in the same way described in your article. The
profit is at least 100 per cent. greater than
with ordinary vinegar made from acids, and
as the injurious effect is lacking in sawdust
vinegar, my conscience is clearer than it |
used to be when I prepared the acid stuff.
I don’t know how many thousand ruined

stomachs can be laid at my door, but until

sawdust vinegar gets so common that some-

thing still cheaper will have to be utilized,

you ean set it down for a fact that Iam an

Mr. Eagle, who is prominently identified
with W. F. McLaughlin & Co.’s extensive
coffee establishment, recently ventured some
very cogent reasons why package coffees
were better for the retailer to handle than |
bulk goods. ‘‘In the first place,” said Mr. |
Eagle, ‘‘package coffees are blended better |
than the average retailer can do the work: |
that is, long experience enables the manu-

facturer to blend a coffee which will be |
more uniform and make a better drink. It
is roasted evener than the consumer can do
it, and put up in comparatively air tight
packages. The packages are attractive in
appearance, and the time that is ordinarily
consumed in looking at several different
kinds of coffee is saved when the dealer can
hand out a package whose merits are already
known to the purchaser. Showing a dozen
brands of coffee tends to confuse the cus- |
tomer, and render his knowledge of their
merits exceedingly meager. Moreover,
every open package of coffee is liable to be
handled by persons whose hands are not al-
ways clean, and which may be infected by
diseases which can be communicated in that }
manner. These points seem to me to be
overwhelmingly in favor of package
goods.”

Death of Charley Yale.

Charles S. Yale, the senior member of the
firm of Chas. S. Yale & Bro., died at the
"family residence, 156 South Division street
on the 11th, and was buried from St. Mark’s
church on the 15th. Mr. Yale was born
| May 19, 1855, and was, therefore, only thir-
ty years old at the time of his death. He
| was reared and edueated here, and for sey-
‘eral years was identified with Mr. Jennings
| in the extract business. He engaged in bus-
| iness on his own account in May, 1880, and
/on January 1, 1883, admitted his brother,
| Fred. D. Yale, to a third interest in the bus-
_ iness, at which time the firm name was
‘changed to Chas. S. Yale & Bro. By dint
'of energy and shrewdness, he built up a

| business second only to that of the pioneer
| house, and was in the enjoyment of lucra-
| tive returns. Mr. Yale wes married Noy-
| ember 3, 1879, and leaves a wife, three
| children and many friends to mourn his un-

timely death.

Solution Citrate of Magnesia.*

What is the quality of solution citrate of
magnesium furnished by manufacturers? How
much is gained by preparing it instead of ob-
taining it of the manufacturers?

The first part of the query can only be
answered by careful analysis. Therefore,
I prepared a solution of citrate of magnesia
by U. 8. P. formula from Jennings’ carbon-
ate and estimated the amount of magnesia
which it contained by precipitating with
phosphate of soda, igniting and weighing
as phosphate of magnesia and calculating
the amount of magnesiac oxide present in
one bottle which amounted to 5.3 grams or
81.5 grains.

A sample of carbonate of magnesia from
which the solution was made was next cal-
cined to find the amount of oxide it contain-
ed, which equaled 41 per cent. or 82 grains
per bottle.

I next procured samples from all the
wholesale houses in the State. The de-
posits which had formed in some were re-
dissolved 4n hydrochloric acid, and magnesia
estimated as in previous sample:

No. 1 contained 27 grains or 34 per cent.
of required amount; No. 2 contained 67
grains, or 81 per cent. of required amount;
No. 3 contained 73 grains, or 89 per cent. of
required amount; No. 4 contained 62 grains,
or 75 per cent. of required amount; No. 5
contained a solution of tartrate of soda and
potassa without even a trace of magnesia.
This fraud, though bought of a wholesale
house in this city, was manufactured out of
the State.

I also analyzed three samples manufac-
tured by retail houses which attracted my
attention:

No. 1 gave only a slight acid reaction and
contained a deposit of three-quarters of an
inch deep, gave 90 per cent. of magnesia.

No. 2 contained 83 per cent. of the requir-
ed amount.

T have heard much about the wickedness
of Chicago, but never saw it so well illus-

’ trated as in No. 5, which came from that

city and contained no magnesia at all.

After the foregoing analysis is it a won-
der that physicians regard the solution as a
preparation not to be trusted? We must not
infer from the fact thatnone contained the
full amount of magnesia, that all were man-
ufactured with fraudu!ent intent, but rather
that some were made by a formula similar
to that found on page 882 of U. 5. Dispen-
satory recoinmending the use of 75 grains of
ealeined magnesia which is seven grains less
than that of the U. S. P., to say nothing of
the carbonic acid and water absorbed by the
oxide, which varies according to the length
of time it has been exposed to the air.

To ascertain the amount absorbed by var-
ious samples as found in the stores I ignited
the following until they ceased to lose

weight:

No. 1 lost 4.5 per cent.
as 9 “ee 7 ae ae
se 3 oe ,. se ss
se 4 ss 3 sé sé
és 5 ‘38 sé ee
‘ag $415, és sé
ae 7 $616, sé «s
ss 8 stn es be

In the eight samples the loss varied from
3 to 25 per cent. No. 8 was taken from an
ordinary shelf bottle, and had been in the
possession of its owner so long that he had
forgotten its maker. Omitting this, with
its loss of 25 per cent., the variation would
be reduced to 13 per cent. In the face of
these figures I should hesitate some time be-
fore recommending a formula in which cal-
cined magnesia is used, did I not fully be-
lieve that the increase in weight could be
reduced at least one half by being careful to
keep the retainer open only long enough to

 

 

weigh the required amount instead of leav-
ing the cover off by the hour.

The following formula is a slight modi-
fication in strength of one published in New
Remedies, page 280, year 1876:

 

 

grams.

Caleined Magnesia (Jennings)  90., 4.8
Citric acid, grains, 410.) 26.5
Sugar *y 960.) 62.

Oillemon, quarts, 2. <t2
Water ounces, 12.|360.
Bicarbonate Potassa, grains, 30.] 2.

Dissolve the acid in 8 ounces of water,

and add the magnesia. When dissolved,

added the sugar previously rubbed with the
oil, add water to 12 ounces or 360 grams,
filter, add the bicarbonate of potassa in
erystals just before corking. This formula
I have used for the past nine years with sat-
isfaction, and believe it to furnish a product
superior to the U. S. P. in flavor. Jennings’
caleined magnesia should always be used, as
all others which I tried deposit in a short
time.

The wholesale price of solution citrate of
magnesia is 16 cents per bottle. Cost to
manufacture same 12 cents, or a saving of
12 cents per bottle.

Muskegon Drug Clerks’ Association.
MuskEGON, Nov. 14, 1885.

The regular semi-monthly meeting of the
Muskegon Drug Clerks’ Association was
held at the Arlington Hotel last evening.

I. F. Hopkins, President of the Associa-
tion, delivered his inaugural address. He
said this is the first organization of the kind
in Northern Michigan. There is only oné
other in the State and that is in Detroit.
The members of this organization have all
started at the bottom of the ladder, but it is
practice and training that make the compe-
tent pharmacist. Every member has started
at the bottom; has begun where all drug
elerks begin—by washing bottles. He ad-
vised all to be punctual at the meetings.

George LeFever read a paper on ‘*‘Pepsin.”
He explained its use andalso how it was ob-
tained. About half an hour was consumed
in discussing this subject.

A resolution was adopted, tendering the
heartfelt sympathies of the Association’s
members to Fred E. Heath, a brother mem-
ber, in his sad bereavement caused by the
death of his wife.

Louis B. Glover was appointed to read a
payer on ‘‘Cocaine,” at the next meeting,
which will be held on the 27th.

N. Miller was selected to read a paper on
“Opium” at the same meeting.

O. A. Liuoyn, Secretary.

He Knew the Kind She Wanted.
From the New York Times.

Servant (to drug clerk)—Oi want ttvinty-
foive cints worth of powder.

Drug Clerk—What kind of powder—face
powder?

Servant—Oi don’t know, sorr.

Drug Clerk—Who is it for?

Servant—It’s for Mrs. Hendricks, the lady
what kapes the boardin’ house beyant the
corner.

Drug Clerk—Oh, yes! I used to beard
with Mrs. Hendricks myself. She wants
insect powder.

Tre TRADESMAN regrets to learn that an
unfortunate rivalry between a couple of
Middleville druggists has impelled them to
cut the price of patent medicines to about
the wholesale figure. Sueh an extremity is
to be deplored, as the evil results of such an
infraction of good business policy last long
after a local feud is settled, and cause
trouble in other towns besides the place
where the trouble originated. It is easy
enough to lower prices, but very difficult to
elevate them again after people have be-
come accustomed to getting things below
their real value.

The Alexander oleomargarine factory, at
Detroit, which carried a test case to the Su-
preme Court and secured a decision amnul-
ling the law enacted by the last Legislature,
has resumed operations. The State’s inter-
ence caused the owners considerable damage,
for which there is no legal redress.

The National Druggist reprints from THe
TRADESMAN a full report of the annual
meeting of the Grand Rapids Pharmaceuti-
cal Society; also the report of the recent
meeting of the State Board of Pharmacy.
The journal referred to is one of the most
practical drug publications in the country,
and is worthy the hearty support it receives
in all sections. Without the “hifaluting”
ideas which predominate in many of its con-
temporaries, the National Druggist present
a table of contents which for clearness of
statement and practicability of suggestion is
almost without parallel in the realm of trade
journalism.

ed the first annual meeting of the Retail
Grocers’ Association of Grand Rapids, held
at Tux TRADESMAN office on the evening of
November 10. Secretary Harris read the
minutes of the last meeting, which were ap-
proved, and subsequently read the report
of the committee on constitution and by-
laws.

Henry A. Hydorn moved that the draft
of constitution and by-laws be adopted.

Jas. A. Coye moved as an amendment
that the report be adopted by sections,
which was carried.

The constitution and by-laws were then
read section by section, and several minor
amendments were made, after which they
were adopted as a whole as amended. They
appear in full in corrected form on the eighth
page of THE TRADESMAN.

Cushing’s Manual was adopted as a rule
of proceedure.

Jas. A. Coye moved that the Law Com-
mittee be instructed to formulate a system
of rules for the government of the members
in dealing with dead beats, which was
adopted.

Wm. H. Sigel moved that each member
send in a list of bad-paying customers at
each meeting, which was adopted.

The following resolution was adopted:

Resolved—That any member trusting a
dead-beat knowingly, shall be fined five dol-
lars which shall be added to the general fund
of the Association.

The election of officers
pear resulted as follows:

President—Erwin J. Herrick.

First Vice-President—E. E. Walker.

Second Vice-President—Jas. A. Coye.

Secretary—Cornelius A. Johnson.

Treasurer—B. 8. Harris.

Board of Directors—Eugene Richmond,
Wn. H. Sigel, A. 8. Elliott, Henry A. Hy-
dorn and W. E. Knox.

The standing committees will be announc-
ed by the President at the next meeting,
which will be held at Tie TRADESMAN of-
fice on the evening of Nov. 17%. The next
regular meeting thereafter will be held on
Tuesday evening, December 1. Every re-
tail grocer doing business in Grand Rapids
is invited to identify himself with the or-
ganization, and thus encourage the move-
ment with his influence. Application for
membership can be made at any regular
meeting.

Masquerading as a Man for Fifteen Years.

The Kansas City correspondent of the
Assiciated Press notes the following pecul-
iar circumstance:

Some two years ago a smooth-faced indi-
vidual came to this city and started a saloon,
which was conducted successfully, and re-
turned the owner a handsome profit. Later
the same individual, who was known to the
business men of Kansas City by the name of
Frank Gray, opened a grocery store at Sey-
enth and Wyandotte streets, and soon se-
cured a paying patronage. During this time
Frank Gray dealt largely in real estate, and
the investments he made showed him to be
possesed of great business tact. Recently,
however, he became involved ina lawsuit,
and the sensational discovery was made that
Frank Gray was a woman named Mrs. Mary
B. Walcott. This revelation brought forth
stili others and it was soon learned that
Mrs. Walcott has been masquerading
for fifteen for and has a married
daughter living in this city. During her
dual existence Mrs. Walcott has smiled up-
on the ladies and transacted business like a
man, but when she visited Columbus, Ohio,
she went dressed in clothes becoming her
sex. While she was in this city, however,
her disguise was so complete and her voice
so masculine that no one suspected that she
was a woman. No reason is assigned for
her peculiar action in thus disguising her-
self. The discovery was made through the
medium of a divorce suit, brought by a man
named Green against his wife, on the ground
that she was altogether too intimate with
Gray.

BUSINESS LAW.

 

 

Brief Digests of Recent Decisions in Courts
of Last Resort.

—FRAUDULENT  CONVEY-
ANCE.

According to the decision of the Supreme
Court of New Hampshire, as general at-
tachment of all a debtor’s interest in real
estate in a town does not hold land fraudu-
lently conveyed by the debtor in a deed re-
corded before the attachment and conveyed
by his fraudulent grantee after the attach-
ment to an innocent purchaser for value.

ATTACHMENT—

LIMITA TIONS—PROMISSORY

NOTE.

When a certain promissory note was
made in Jenuary, 1872, the time of limita-
tion of an action in such a case was sixteen
years, under an act of the Illinois Legisla-
ture of 1849. By an act passed in April,
1872, the time of limitations of such actions
was made ten years. The later act express-
ly repealed the earlier one, providing, how-
ever, that the later statute should not be
construed so as to affect any rights or lia-
bilities or any causes of action that might
have accrued before it took effect. The Su-
preme Court of Illinois held that the latter
statute did not apply to the note in ques-
tion, but that the same was subject to the
rule of limitation laid down in the earlier
law.

STATUTE OF

SALE—FAILURE TO DELIV-
ER.

The case of Norrington et al. vs. Wright
et al., decided by the Supreme Court of the
United States, arose upon a contract to pur-
chase 5,000 tons of iron rails to be delivered
at the rate of about 1,000 tons per month.
The deliveries in some months were greatly
below and in others greatly in excess of
1,000 tons, in consequence of which the de-
fendants declined to accept certain of the
shipments. Judgment given for the defen-
dants in the United States Circuit Conrt for
the Eastern District of Pennsylvania was
affirmed by the Supreme Court, which held
that the plaintiff’s failure to make such ship-
ments as the contract required precluded
them from maintaining the action.

NOTE INDORED IN BLANK—UNAUTHORIZED
INSERTION.

While, generally speaking, one who signs
and delivers a note in blank will be deemed
to have authorized the partyto whom de-
livered to fillin the blanks in respects es-
sential to the completeness of the note as a
note, such as the date, the amount, the
name of the payee, and the place of pay-
ment, yet this does not authorize the holder
to crowd into the body of the note a stipu-
lation in no manner essential to the note as
a completed instrument. So held by the
New York Court of Appeals in the case of
Myerhauser vs. Dun. In this case the court
held that the idsertion of a clause providing
that the note would bear after maturity a
greater rate of interest than the rate allow-
ed by law was unauthorized, and that such
an unauthorized insertion would release an
accommodation indorser from liability on
such a note.

CONTRACT OF

 

PROVISION—PLACE
MENT.

A contract was made for the purchase of
500 tons of pig iron, ‘fat $26 per tcn cash,
in bond at New Orleans for shipment from
Glasgow as soon as possible, delivery and
sale subject to ocean risks.” The iron was
shipped from Lieth instead of Glasgow, and
the purchaser refused to receive it. Upon
suit brought the United States Circuit Court
for the Eastern District of Missouri held that
the provision of the contract that iron was
to be shipped from Glasgow was not a ma-
terial provision of the contract so far as the
suit was concerned. ‘The Supreme Court of
the United States, however, reversed the
judgment of the Circuit Court, holding that
it had neither the means nor the right to de-
termine why the parties to the contract spec-
ified ‘‘shipment from but was
bound to give effect to the terms which the
parties had chosen for themselves.

MATERIAL OF SHIP-

Glasgow,”

INSOLVENT DEBTOR—PREFERENCE.

According to the decision of the Supreme
Court of Llinois, in the case of Hanchett
ys. Kimbark et al., an insolvent debtor may
prefer one creditor and pay him in full,
though it exhausts all his means and leaves
him nothing with which to pay his other
creditors, who are, equally meritorious; and
acreditor may use whatever persuasive abil-
ities he may possess to induce his debtor to
turn over his property to pay him in full in
preference to all others; and though they
may receive nothing, the conduct of such
creditor in so doing does not render him in
law, whatever the moral aspect may be, a
mata fide purchaser, and by reason thereof,
chargable with notice of any defect in the
debtor’s title to the property, or of any fraud
in his purchase of the same, and this is the
jaw whether the creditor purchases the
goods in absolute payment of his debt, or
obtains a transfer and delivery of them into
his possession as security for its payment,
and agrees to account to his debtor for any

overplus after his debt is paid.
et

A Philadelphia paper says a pound of
feathers is as heavy as a pound of lead.
That depends. If a pound of feathers were
to fall from a third-story window and alight
on a man’s head, and five minutes later a
pound of lead were to fall the same distance
from above and strike him on the same spot,
he would be willing to swear that the lead

; weighed a ton more than the feathers.

He Pays His Compliments to the Travel-

Editer Dradesman: :

DEAR Str—Effery day since der reunions
I make up my mind dot I would write mit
you und dold you all aboudt it, but to told
you der druth, I haf been awful seeck like
neffer vas.

According mit mine agreement mit der
Schteve Sears, he meeds me by der depot
mit a two horse buggy vagen, unt I goes
mit him by der hotel of Mr. Sweet. Und
by der ghost von mein granfadder’s pipe, I
had schoost so nice a time as I effer could
haf mit Kaiser Wilhelm. Some how or an-

_ nudder I schoost lofe der Schteve Sears like
abrudder. ‘To told you der honest druth,
Schteve he keept his wort aboudt filling me
up mit beer. I yas so chuck full von beer
dot I forgots me mine own name, and
thought I was Bismark, Joe Reed, or some
odder greadt man. Of course, 1 knowd it
all der dime dot I vas a great distinguish
man, but all der dimes forgets who I vas.

When I goes mit Grand Rapids again mit
some of dose reunions, I dakes mine frau
mit me to help me oudt. Den I don’t get so
full I can’t see der processions. Effery
dime when I puys my crackers unt cheese
after dis you can be schoore dot Schteve
gets dem orders.

You can dold Chim Prad dot ven he comes
again up, if it makes nottings difference to
him, he can pring dein bost office bapers mit
him.

Some dings aboudt dot drug store pusi-
ness gets me oxcited. Ven I vas by Grand
Rapids I puys me a schmall stock of drugs,
yon leedle Hank Fairchild to go in mit mine
groceries; unt now olt Schleberholtz told me
as 1 must get a schertificate baper von der
Schtate or I vas soon arrested. All I puys
was schoost a leedle whisky und quinine
unt Lean’t tell me how I shall make any
mistake and pisen some one mit dot. Der
is alltogedder too much Yankee humbug in
dese country. Effery body he vants a law
to brotect himself unt beat somepody else.
A nice ting dot vould be auf a man gets der
gramps unt yvants a leedle schnapps und
bebbermint. You moost get a schertificate
to sell him der medicine vat keeps him
from going deadt.

John Mackendire sends me a bostal cart
dot he call on me mit a full line von sambles
ina few days. Oufhe coomes, I hopes he
don’t bring his appedite mit him.

Arter Meigs he haf got up anew schnap
for to advertise Red Fox, so he knock down
der brice yot flower unt pimeby der farmers
gets only fifty cents a bushel for dere wheat
und dot makes dull dimes in der gundry;
but he need not think he can buck dose mil-
lers down. Dey vas to scharpe vor him.
Schoost look py dot Rowe. Two or tree
years ago he vas bookkeeper. Now he rides
in his own buggy vagen.

Chorge Owen he writes mea ledder dot
mine tog Pen Putler gets der plue ribbon by
der schtate fair. I don’t see any money von
dose dransaxiuns, unt I vish he vould send
him home.

Kindly menshun der fackt in your baper der
Valter Blow Horn don’t brought back mine
fish pole yet. Ouf I got a memory like dot
feller, I could blenty money make.

A chentleman draffling man by der name
yon Hi Robinson sendt me a brospectus by
der Knights yon Pytheras und yants me to
sendin my name to be a member of dot
scosiety. You schoost teld him NO in ital-
licks. I got me blenty von dem_ scosiety
ven I vas mit dem Sons von Malta in Mil-
waukee. Got no use for dese tings in my
peesiness. Oufhe vould excuse me, I vas
blenty happy.

Sometime last week Dick Mangold, Ogle
unt Cass Pradford vas by mine schtore ven
Ivasavay. Dick unt Ogle dey vant to rent
part von mine schtore for a millinery shop.
Schoost preak dot news schently to dem,
dot I vould rather haf a hornets nest in the
bosom of mine bantaloons than such a pees-
iness in mine grocery store. Und you might
menshun der fackt to Prad dot he don’t need
to lief no more demperance tracks on imine
gownters. It interferences mit mine drug

._ drade.

Should you see dot leedle Baker vot sells
for Foster, Stevens & Co., vot got so mooch
interest by Traverse City, ouf he come up
here I puys from him a pig order for cash

® The following circular letter has been sent

to every patron of this market during the

past week:

We, the undersigned wholesale dealers of
Grand Rapids, do hereby agree to charge a
reasonable cartage on all goods delivered at
all railway depots and steamboat landings
in this city of three cents per 100 pounds,
excepting the two following articles, viz:
salt, upon which we shall charge two cents
per barrel, and kerosene, which shall be ten
cents per barrel. This agreement to take
effect December 1, 1885.

A jobber who has been prominent in se-
curing the adoption of the cartage question
by the Grand Rapids jobbers advances the
following reasons for his action: ‘‘In the
first place, jobbers are compelled to pay
eartage on almost every article purchased.
Grand Rapids jobbers have to pay just as
much for their goods as Chicago or Detroit
wholesalers do, and through legitimate com-
petition the former have to sell as low as
competing markets. Inasmuch as Grand
Rapids stands ready to meet the prices of
other markets, there is no reason why she
should not share the same advantages pos-
sessed by her competitors. Chicago, De-
troit and Toledo all insist upon exchange,
which Grand Rapids does not. But in the
matter of cartage, there seems to be no rea-
son why we should not stand with our rivals.
I think when the retail trade come to con-
sider the matter in all its bearings, they will
decide that it is no more than fair that we
should have the small amount our agree-
ment calls for.”

But one dissenting voice to the jobbers’
agreement has yet reached THE TRADES-
MAN office. Itcomes from Petoskey, and
bears the autograph of J. L. Alger, who
writes as follows: ‘‘I solemnly swear that {
will pay no cartage for Grand Rapids job-
bers.”

The Grocery Market.

Business and collections are both fairly
good. Sugars are about the same as last
week. An adyance of nearly two cents
per gallon on kerosene oil, is a pretty sure
indication that the Standard Oil Company
has at last got the oil business in its own
hands. Other articles in the grocery line
are about steady.

BOGUS BUTTER

Gets a Bad Black Eye at the Hands of the
Dairymen.
Special Correspondence of THE TRADESMAN.
Cuicaao. Nov, 14, 1885.
The twelfth annual convention of the
Butter, Cheese and Egg Association con-
vened in this city on Tuesday. President
John J. Macdonald wielded the gavel, and
Col. R. M. Littler sat at the Recretary’s
desk. Governor Oglesby, Mayor Harrison,
E. Nelson Blake, President of the Board of
Trade, and Mr. Linn, President of the Pro-
duce Exchange, welcomed the delegates to
the city. Messrs. Windsor, of New York,
Upton, of Boston, Hatcher, of Philadelphia,
and Kinnard, of Baltimore, responded.
President Macdonald, in the course of his
annual address, presented the following sta-
tistics of the trade: In 1850 there were
manufactured 313,345,000 pounds of butter
and 103,500,000 pounds of cheese, while in
1880 there were manufactured 806,673,000
pounds of butter and 243,158,000 pounds of
cheese. The exports of butter had increased
from $1,215,463 in 1850 to $18,862,407 in
1880. The total value of the dairy product
of the United States is $500,000,000, exceed-
ing the products of oats, wheat, cotton, steel,
or pig-iron. The amount invested in dairy
cattle exceeds the enormous sum of $700,-
000,000. The total would have been greater
had it not been for the loss of confidence in
the goods caused by the exportation of im-
pure dairy products, which were sold for

ae

genuine. By this means the dairymen’s
reputation for enterprise, energy and

shrewdness had become synonymous with
raseality and fraud, and the interests repre-
sented by the convention placed in deadly
peril. He thought under such circumstances,
that the delegates should place themselves
on record as opposed to such degrading
practices.

On Wednesday, B. F. Van Valkenburgh,
of the committee on statistics, reported that
the total receipts of dairy products | at New
York for the year ending Nov. 30, 1884, were
$40,999,158. For 1885, the value of the
dairy receipts reached $38,547,911, a de-
crease of $2,464,021. The report as a whole
showed a total decrease in the past two
years of nearly six million dollars, which
was due to the sale of butter substitutes.

Hon. Norman J. Coleman, United States
Commissioner of Agriculture, said, in the
course of somewhat extended remarks, that
the proprietors of artificial butter factories
had been particularly chary of giving any
statistics or information as to their process
of manufacture. The result of all inquiries
into their methods, however, had proved the
uvhealthfulness of the article, principally
owing to the use of nitric acid as an ingre-
dient. Witnesses haye testified to its in-
jurious effect upon their clothing and shoes
while engaged in the factory, and others of
its injury to the stomach. Against the em-
ployment of the poisonous compounds used
in this questionable trade farmers them-
selves have the remedy in their hands.
They will find little difficulty in discovering
who the parties are that purchase and use
such articles, and then let these parties be
tabooed in dairy associations, agricultural
conventions, or the social circles. Mr. Col-
man suggested that a bill be carefully pre-
pared to submit to Congress at the approach-
ing session to protect not only the innocent
purehaser and consumer of a counterfeit ar-
ticle of butter, but the important dairy in-
terests of the country.

T. D. Curtis followed with an address
upon ‘‘Imitation Butter—Morally, Commer-
cially and Legally Considered.” Morally,
the sale of a counterfeit article as genuine
is highly demoralizing to all in any way en-
gaged in the business. Commercially, the
effect of imitation butter has been most dis-
astrous in that it has thrown suspicion on all
butter, thus causing a revolt of the public
palate and injuring the dairy and cheese
manufacturing interests of the country be-
yond computation. Legally, the question
is, How far can the law intervene and how
can it beenforced? The answer to this is
bounded by the intelligence and moral sen-
timent of the people. They have the power,
and if they will may go to the limits of
strict honesty and legislation.

Resolutions were introduced and referred,
to the effect that, the sale of imitation but-
ter being detrimental to the trade and pub-
lic morals, Congress be petitioned to pass a
law prohibiting the coloring of butterine to
look like butter, and compelling dealers to
inform purchasers which is which.

J. K. Brown, Commissioner of Agricul-
ture for the state of New York, denounced
the sale of artificial butter as adeception and
a fraud.

W. I. Chamberlain, secretary of the Ohio
State Board of Agriculture, took for his
subject, ‘“The Crime of Counterfeiting and
Adulteration.” Mr. Chamberlain thought
it was a singular state of things that per-
mitted the adulteration and counterfeiting
of food when the counterfeiting of the coun-
try’s currency was made a heinous offense,
rendering the offenders liable to the ex-
treme penalties of the law. The adultera-
tion and counterfeiting of butter and cheese
was equally as disastrous to a great and, un-
til recently, a rapidly-growing branch of the
Nation’s commerce as the counterfeiting of
currency. The manufacture and sale of
oleomargarine as creamery butter was a
death-blow at the dairy interests of Ameri-
ea, and could not be too severely con-
demned.

J. W. Gould, of Ohio, addressed the
meeting upon the subject of ‘‘Co-operation
Against Adulteration,” in which he urged
unanimity of determined action against the

manufacture of bogus butter upon the part

 

¥.

 

tions of,the country. The Wisconsin dele-
gation submitted resolutions similar to the
others, which were also referred.

Wilbur Johnson, of Oskaloosa, talked to
the convention upon ‘‘A Higher Standard.”
Mr. Johnson favored the maintaining of a
high standard of butter by the great cream-
eries and cheese factories of the country as
the surest means of establishing the super-
iority of the genuine over the spurious ar-
ticle and enabling consumers to detect the
difference. -

Geo. M. Stearns, a Chicago manufacturer,
being called upon to address the“conven-
tion, described the process of manufactur-
ing oleomargarine, the properties of which
are the fat of the highest grade cattle and
the wholesale price of which to-day is from
11 to 1114 cents. To say that oleomarga-
rine contains ingredients deleterious to
health and that it is made of ‘‘soap-grease”
is unfair and false. Butterine, in which
the fat of swine was used, called in the
trade and branded as creamery butterine,
contained from 50 to 60 per cent. pure
creamery butter, the remainder being the
finest leaf lard, salt and water. Mr. Stearns
was in favor of butterine being manufac-
tured and sold as butterine. In the discus-
sion which followed, Mr. Stearns produced
a letter received by him from an Iowa
dairyman for an order of 100 pounds of
neutral, with which he wished to try the
process of adulteration. eee ee

Yion. H. W. Hatch, who stated that he
represented the creamery and dairy inter-
ests of the First Congressional District of
Missouri, made an address in defense of
these interests and condemnatory of the
manufacture of the bogus article. He wish-
ed a few members of Congress might have
been present to hear the head of a great but-
terine manufacturing concern of Chicago de-
clare in convention that his business was
anything but an honorable one. He hoped
that if the gentleman in question could ap-
preciate his position in the commercial
world he would write tojthe Iowa dairyman
who wanted adulterous materials that if he
wanted to keep out of the penitentiary and
sqye his soul from perdition he would never
put the poisonous stuff in his butter. Should
he at any time in future be called upon to
again represent his district in Congress he
would introduce a measure to put the man-
ufacturers of the bogus article under the In-
ternal Revenue laws, which would put a
weigher, brander and inspector in such fae-
tories to handle their product. He would,
further than that, favor a law to indict, try,
and convict such manufacturers; and when
convicted imprison them for thirty days and
compel them to live on the product of their
factories.

Mr. Stearns, taking the floor, was asked a

number of embarrassing questions concern-
ing the butterine trade, one of which was
why the manufacturers of artificial butter
used the terins dairy and creamery butter,
and others which had long been identical
with the dairy interests. Mr. Warman, of
New York, a large handler of butterine,
stated that he never handled a pound of it
under any other name than its true one. He
believed that the butterine men were as hon-
est in their transactions as dairymen are
[hisses], and that they were no more desir-
ous of humbugging the public. All were
working for their own personal interests,
and he thought the dairy and creamery men
present had heaped their abusive names and
terms upon butterine purely through selfish
motives.
Hiram Smith, of Sheboygan Falls, fol-
lowed with an address against the artificial
product, as did Messrs. J. H. Seymour and
John H. Smith, of New York, in which the
latter gentlemen were particularly severe
upon the methods of butterine manufactur-
ers and all who handled the product.

On Thursday, the Committee on Legisla-
tion, recommended an import duty on eggs
brought from Europe, approved the New
York Jaw requiring dealers to sell butter
substitutes for what they really are, and rec-
ommended that Congress be requested to
establish a standard of purity for milk and
that the several State Legislatures adopt
that standard. The report was subsequent-
ly adopted.

The Committee on Resolutions presented
areport condemning the manufacture and
sale of bogus butter, requesting Congress to
enact measures looking toward the suppres-
sion of the busines, and recommending the
appointment of a legislative committee of
three members from each state. An amend-
ment to the report calling on Congress to
place a tax of 10 cents a pound on all imi-
tations of pure butter was adopted, after
which the report as a whole was adopted.

Col. Littler reported that the receipts of
butter at Chicago for the current year to
Nov. 1, were 80,000,000 pounds; shipments,
83,000,000 pounds. Receipts of cheese, 32,-
500,000 pounds; the shipments were 23,-
800,000 pounds. The fact that shipments
of butter were greater than the receipts was
in part due to butterine being shipped as
butter. The statistics of the manufacture
of butterine in Chicago from May 1, 1883,
to May 1, 1884, showed a manufacture of
about 10,000,000 pounds; fronr May 1, 1884 to
May 1, 1885, about 13,000,000 pounds and the
quantity for the current year was estimated
at 20,000,000 pounds. The direct exports of
butter from Chicago for year to Noy. 1,
1885, were 2,200,000 pounds; cheese, 4,650,-
000 pounds. The receipts of eggs for the
same period were 429,000; shipments, 168,-
000. '
Washington Winsor, of New York, was
elected President of the Association, and
Col, Littler was re-elected Secretary for the

A resolution

 
    

classification committee of east-bound trunk
lines to change its classification of eggs, but-
ter and dressed poultry so as to make its
rate cover car loads and less than car loads.

On Friday, Lorenzo Fagenstein, an expert
chemist of Chicago, addressed the conven-
tion on the means of detecting spurious but-
ter. Butterine, he claimed, was not only
unwholesome, but poisonous to the system
of the partaker. The same men who had
ruined the export pork trade had now near-
ly ruined the export trade in butter. Pro-
hibition in Europe was not for protection,
but to prevent the importation of packing
house refuse, which, by a villainous concoc-
tion, was transformed into the semblance of
butter and imposed upon the Europeans.
Mr. Fagenstein used many analytical illus-
trations in support of his views. He said
that butterine usually contained nitric, sul-
phurie, muriatic, and _ nitro-hydrochloric
acids, as well as alkalies and soap. <A sam-
ple of butterine purchased on State street
was analyzed before the convention and
found to contain 10 per cent. of soft soap.

The Secretary submitted statistics show-
ing that of the total annual exports of butter
and butterine but one-third was genuine but-
ter, the balance being oleomargarine and
butterine. Europeans were not willing to
pay the American price for good butter.
English people would rather have fresh but-
terine from Denmark than stale butter from
America. America could not compete with
Danish dairymen in the manufacture of but-
ter. The climatic changes and long time oc-
cupied in getting butter from Iowa to
England imperiled the quality of the article
and certainly aged it, while Danish butter
was in the English markets within three
days from the time it left the churn. It
was argued in the discussion that Danish
butter was superior to American butter on
account of the greater care given to stock.
American cows should be better fed and bet-
ter protected from inclement weather.

A sensation was created by the report of
aspecial committee that exhibits of butter-
ine had been admitted to the State Board of
Agriculture’s dairy department at the fat-
cattle show. The Board asserted that the
butterine exhibitors were admitted because
it was charged by Mr. Armour that a great
part of the dairymen’s exhibit was butter
containing spurious material, and that Mr.
Armour had said there were thirty-eight
creameries in the West buying this neutral
material of Armour & Co. On the strength
of: Mr. Armour’s statements the Board
adopted a resolution that no awards should
be given unless the judges were satisfied
that the butter was thoroughly pure.

A committee was appointed to wait on
and demand of the officers of the Board to
name the violators of pure butter manufact-
ure, or withdraw the charges made. In case
the committee is met with a refusal, counsel
will be engaged and legal preceedings com-
menced. Mr. Seymour, of New York, prom-
ised $1,000 toward a fund to defray the ex-
penses of a slander suit against Armour &
Co. and the Board.

The ‘‘Honest Farmer” in a New Role.

“You can’t sell me any of your butter-
ine,” said a regular customer at a reputable
grocery establishment the other day.

“Why not?” asked theggenial grocer.

“Because I get my butter of a farmer,”
was the reply.

“What farmer furnishes you?” inquired
the man of tea and allspice.

**Mr. ,» Who brings me a week’s
supply every Saturday,” responded the con-
sumer.

The grocer dropped the subject and the
customer departed.

‘Do you know the farmer your patron re-
ferred to?” asked a reporter of Tue
TRADESMAN, who happened to be standing
near when the conversation above referred
to occurred.

‘*No,” replied the grocer.

‘Well, he is one of those farmers who
never owned a cow in his life. He lives on
a rented place half a dozen miles out, buys
garden truck of the surrounding farmers,
and peddles the same from house to house.
The genuine butter your customer expatiates
upon was bought at a certain commission
store here at 14centsa pound. It was sold for
dairy butterine, but became ‘pure farmer’s
butter,’ as soon as it was worked over into
rolls at the man’s home. Hundreds of
housekeepers are congratulating themselves
over their luck in securing farmer’s butter
at 20 cents a pound, when they could get
the identical article of you or any other gro-
ceryman at 16 cents. Ihave the names of
sixteen alleged farmers who are practicing
this deception right along, and as soon as I
have made a complete list I shall place it at
the disposal of the Retail Grocers’ Associa-
tion, and allow the members to take such
action in the matter as they think best.”

‘IT knew there were one or two farmers
who were engaged in the transposition bus-
iness, but I didn’t think the practice was so
general as you say it is,” said the grocer.
“One thing is certain, however, and that is
that the people are beginning to look upon the
‘honest farmer’ with merited suspicion, and
I think the time | is not far distant when a
