BEWARE!

It  has come to our notice  that unscrupu­
lous manufacturers of  cigars áre putting an 
inferior  brand  of  cigars  on  the  market 
under a label  So  closely imitating our “Sil­
ver Spots” as to deceive  the general public. 
A t first, we were inclined to feel flattered at 
this  recognition  of  the  superior  merits of 
our  “ Silver  Spots” by a brother  manufac­
turer, knowing full well that it is only arti­
cles of  standard or sterling worth  that  are 
imitated, but  we  feel  that  we  should  be 
derelict in our duty to the public should we 
not  warn them  against this  infringement, 
and  also  to  dealers  in  cigars,  as  we feel 
positive 
that  no  first-class  dealer  would 
knowingly  countenance  or  deal  with  any 
manufacturer  who  had  to  depend  upon 
other manufacturers  to  fqmish him brains 
to originate brands or labels for their cigars. 
A counterfeiter is  a  genius, but  amenable 
to  the law, but a base  imitator  who  keeps 
within  the 
just  ventures  near 
enough  to be on  debatable  ground, is  not 
worthy of  recognition  in  a  community of 
worthy or respectable  citizens.  The  “Sil­
ver  Spots” are to-day  the best  selling five 
cent  cigar  in Michigan.

Paper  from  Cotton  Seed  Hulls.

Albert C. Antrim, traveling representative 
for toe Alabastine Co., sends The Trades­
man a sample  of  pulp  made  from  cotton 
seed  hulls, accompanied  by  the  following 
explanation as to the  manner  in which the 
new product came to be discovered: 

.  '

Another great industry has  been  opened 
up to toe South.  Another valuable discov­
ery, toe product of  Southern  genius,  is  to 
turn  into  solid  wealth  what  has  hitherto  . 
been  regarded  as  toe veriest waste.  This 
material, long regarded as more than worth­
less  from  toe  fact  that  it  was  an incon­
venience,  is  yet to  rise as a material  factor 
in  toe  manufacturing  history of  the  conn- K 
try.  The  result  to be mentioned  is  note­
worthy of  a retrospect  full  of  fact, and  at 
the same time to show toe  utility of  a mod­
em and most practical discovery.

As is well  known, for  long  years  cotton 
seed, save what  was used for planting pur­
poses, which  required  bat a: small  portion 
of  toe  yield, was not  used except as a fer­
tilizer.  On every farm the cotton seed bine 
were  closely  guarded,  in  order  that  hogs 
might not reach them, as  toe  raw  seed in« 
variably killed  the  hogs.  Only  when  the 
seed  was  well  boiled could it be served as 
food for stock,  and  then as a general  thing 
only to cows.

Later it  was  discovered  that  from  the 
kernels of  the seed  toe  best of  oil could be 
made,  and  that  the  meal, or kernels, after 
being pressed, was not only most nutritions 
food for cattle, but as a fertilizer it was un­
equaled.  Within  the  past  few  years vast 
fortunes have been made out of cotton seed 
oil,  and  now  its manufacture is one of  the 
leading  industries  of  the  South.  Cotton 
seed is no longer wasted, but, on  the  other 
hand,  is  a  source of  revenue  to  toe  pro­
ducers.

But all  this time toe hulls  which  inclose 
toe oily seed  have  been a source of  bother 
to toe mill men, for  as  they were  stripped 
from  toe  seed  they fell  in  toe way of  the 
machinery,  and  had  to  be  shoveled away 
into a bin or some  place  where  they could 
be  gotten  rid of.  Besides, toe stuff  being 
dry and ever ready to bum, it was a constant 
menace to the  oil  factory.  A more utterly 
worthless  surplusage  never  cost  more 
trouble in being disposed of.

The difficulty has been solved,  and hence­
forth  cotton  seed hulls bid fair to be as re­
munerative  a  product  as  the  meaty  sub­
stance which they cover.
For a number of years Walter T. Forbes, 
of  Atlanta, Ga., has been  largely identified 
with  the  cotton  seed  oil  interests.  After 
considerable  study of  the  matter, he  came 
to  toe  conclusion  that  the  hulls  could be 
made  into  pulp  for  the  manufacture  of 
paper.  By a close  analysis of  the  hull, he  i 
found that it was composed of  nine distinct  ( 
layers.  The two first are of  a black, coarse % 
formation,  while  the  other  seven  are  of 
very  fine  fiber, and  by a  proper  chemical 
process  can  be  bleached to a fleecy white­
ness.  He  laid  his  discovery  before  toe 
chemist  of  the  Tompkins  Paper  Co., Al­
bany, N. Y., and that  gentleman replied to- 
him at first that  his  company had spent all 
toe  money  they  cared to in experimenting 
on  pulp  material, and  more  than  this  he 
was quite satisfied there was no earthly vir­
tue in  his  alleged  discovery.  The  reason 
that Mr.  Forbes  had singled out the Tomp­
kins Co. to make  toe  experiment was from 
the fact that it had the  most  improved ma­
chinery for such purposes  in  this  county.
He insisted that toe  test  should  be  mad«, 
and  sent  the  company 500  pounds  of  toe 
dry hulls, with toe request that  the  experi­
ment be made at his expease. 
It was done, 
and the result  was toe product of the finest  : 
textile pulp that the  chemist had ever seen.
After  having  been put through  the proper  ^ 
bleaching  process, it is as white, light  and  |  
It  was  also  seen  that  toe- 
soft as snow. 
process was much  shorter in time  and  far 
less  expensive  than  the  reduction of any 
other  material  to  pulp  yet“ tried.  To re­
duce  poplar  wood  to  pulp, it  requires IB 
degrees  of  baume  liquid, with  120 
of  steam pressure, and  the  time is sixteen  -»as 
hours, while with toe cotton seed  hulls toe 
time is only eight hours,  with  one-half  the 4 
liquid and steam pressure.
The paper woven  from  the pulp makes a 
better and smoother article 'than that which 
the  present  newspaper  is  printed on, and 
also a good class of  writing  paper.

“ STRUCK  IT?”

Peter  O’Reilly  was  a  pioneer  miner  of 
Nevada  and  one of  the  discoverers of  the 
great Comstock silver  lode—one of  the two 
men  who  turned  to  the  light of  day that 
glittering  ore  whigh  was  the first of over 
00,000,000 since taken from  the  wonder- 

vein then lit upon.

For  several  years  before  he  made  the 
great  discovery O’Reilly had  been  conduct­
ing a small  miners’  supply store at Carson 
City, at the  same  time  contributing to the 
wants of  the  miners  in  the  shape of  wet 
goods.  But  the  tales  of  rich  discoveries 
told in his store by miners excited his cupid­
ity to such a degree that  he  sold  his  little 
store and started out  as a prospector.

Early in the  following  spring, Peter was 
working  among  the  gold  placers  of Gold 
Canon, a wet-weather  tributary of  the Car- 
son  River, in which gold was discovered as 
early as 1852. 
In  this  canon  he  wrought 
With  pan  and  rocker,  and  at  times with 
much success, sometimes taking out several 
hundred  dollars  in  a  few  days,  for  the 
ground was very rich in spots.

“Pete” was fond of  rambling away alone 
along  the  meanderings  of the  canon  in 
search  of  the  rich  spots  that  were  to  be 
found by those  who  diligently  sought  for 
them.  He  liked  to  be  by himself  and to 
mine  in  his own way.  Provided he  could 
find a few “colors” (small particles of  gold) 
he would dig and  pan  away for days,  quite 
confident  that  his  luck  wojfid at last lead 
him  into  the  right  spot  and  his labors be 
richly rewarded.

Peter O’Reilly was not only a spiritualist, 
but  also a firm  believer  in  all  manner  of 
signs  and  omens.  He heard voices, as did 
the heroes of  Ossian,  in  the  sighing breeze 
and extracted a meaning from all the sounds 
of  hill and vale  that  reached his ear.  The 
end of  this was (a  few  years  after the dis­
covery of  the  Comstock  lode)  that  he  be­
came  insane,  and  finally died in a private 
asylum at Woodbridge,  Cal.

His  luck  came  to him in a most  unique 
way,  as follows : 
It appears  that  the  last 
mining O’Reilly ever did in Gold Canon was 
when  he  started  in  to  prospect  a  bar on 
which  he  found a previous  locator  in  the 
person of  a frog, which held a “squatter’s” 
right to the place,  and  which  frog  almost 
immediately began to give him  trouble.

Pete began his mining  operations by con­
structing a small dam  to turn  the  rill flow­
ing  in the  canon  into a little ditch that led 
to his “panning  hole” at  the  lower end of 
the bar.

The  little  reservoir  formed  by the  dam 
held only about a dozen hogsheads of water. 
It was soon after  this  reservoir  filled  that 
Pete first  had  notice of  the presence on his 
claim of  the  frog.  He  had  sunk a pit in 
the  gravel of  the  bar  almost  down  to the 
bed-rock, and washed oat two or three pans 
of  dirt  that  yielded well.  He was down in 
this prospect hole  filling his pan with some 
particularly  promising  gravel,  when  he 
heard  a  small,  squeaky  voice  sing  out, 
“Struck it?”

Pete was, at the moment, deeply absorbed 
in the work in which he  was  engaged,  and 
the  shrill,  shrieking  voice  ringing  out so 
near at hand  and  asking a question that so 
exactly chimed in with the train of  thought 
running  through  his  head  so startled him 
that  his  pick  almost fell  from  his hands. 
He pricked up his ears and  looked  about in 
all directions to see  whence  proceeded  the 
cheery little voice.  Almost  he expected to 
discover a  -little  red-mantled fairy peering 
ont at him from some neighboring dump of 
willows  or some tall  tuft  of  grass.  As he 
stood  thus,  gazing  about  in open-mouthed 
amazement, the little voice again piped out:

“Struck it ?  Struck it ?  Struck it ?”
Turning his eyes  in  the direction whence 
proceeded  the  inquiring  voice,  Pete  pres­
ently descried a small green  frog  mounted 
upon a stick  that  projected an inch or two 
above  the  surface  of  the  water in his res­
ervoir.  The  frog  was  but  a  rod  or  two 
away,  and  seemed, as  Pete thought,  to be 
looking inquiringly into his eyes.

“Struck it? 

Struck  it?  Struck 

it? ” 

again said the frog.

“Are  ye  schpakin’  to  me,  sor?”  said 

Pete.

“Struck it ?”  says the frog.
“It’s  a  good  omen,”  said  Pete.  “The 
little feller says I ’ve struck it.  Though he’s 
no  counthryman of  mine,  I believe  in  me 
sowl he means  well  by me,  and that I have 
sthruck it in this very hole.”

So saying, Pete carried the pan of  dirt he 
had  dug  to  his  panning  place,  panned it 
out,  and  did  not  get  a “color.”  He  was 
not a little  astonished  at  this  result,  and 
was  much  inclined  to  call the frog a liar, 
but on taming to look for him the little fel­
low was gone.  He went to his  pit and dug 
another pan of  dirt, listening all toe time to 
hear what toe frog would have to say about 
it.  Not a word did toe frog say,  however.” 
OPete washed  out  the pan of dirt and got 
gold to toe value of nearly a dollar.  “Aha! 
ye  little  devil,”  cried he,  “where  are  ye 
now?  Ye  didn’t   have a word  to  say this 
time.” 
*
Well pleased  w ito > is  luck,  Pete began 
digging: another  pan (of  .gravel  from  toe 
place where be had getütoe  last, expectin§j

\  

^ 

only half  a minute  before  toe  little  voice 
rang  out  sharp  and  clear:  “Struck  it? 
Struck it ?  Struck it ?”

“Oh,  yes,  you  little  fool!”  cried  Pete, 
“its  aisy  for  you 
to  say  ‘Sthruck  it! 
Sthruck it!  Sthruck  it!’  after  ye’ve  seen 
what I’ve got in my pay.”

“Struck it!  Struck i t !  Struck  it!”  cried 
toe frog, in  what  seemed  to Pete a trium­
phant tone.

“All  right, me  bye!”  cheerily  assented 
Pete, nodding his head toward toe little fel­
low that sat  winking  and  blinking  on toe 
end of  toe stick.  “All  right,  me  bye;  av 
coorse I’ve struck i t !”

Pete then  picked  up  his  pan of  gravel, 
carried it to the  water  hole, washed  it ont 
and did  not find a speck of gold.  “You’re 
the worst liar I  ever saw !”  cried Pete rising 
up from his work and shaking his fist in the 
direction of  the  frog.  Not  a  sign  of  toe 
frog did  he  see, however, toe  little  fellow 
having very prudently retired to the bottom 
of the pond.

Pete grumbled for  a time, then  went and 
dug  another  pan  of  gravel.  As  he  was 
carrying the  dirt to his  panning  place  the 
frog  stuck  his  head  above  toe water and 
called out,  “Struck it?”  and  again  no gold 
was found.  Thus it went.  When the frog 
said  nothing,  he  got a good  yield of  gold; 
but when he made his usual inquiry—sneer­
ing inquiry, Pete now  considered  it to be— 
no  gold was found.

At last Pete  had  washed  so  many pans 
of  dirt out of  which the frog  had  charmed 
all  toe  gold  that  he  began  to  grow very 
angry.  He  was  also  not  a little  discour­
aged.  Finally,  just  as he  began to scrape 
toe gravel out of  a very  promising  crevice, 
and  just as  he  wps  beginning to think the 
frog would this  time  hold  his  tongue, ont 
came the little fellow  with  his  “Struck it? 
Struck it?”

Pete  quietly  laid  down  his  crevicing 
spoon,  slyly  gathered  two  or  three  big 
rocks, then softly, on tiptoe, began stealing 
toward his little persecutor, and  just as toe 
frog cried out,  “Struck it ?  Struck it ?”  toe 
irate O’Reilly let  drive  at  him  with a rock 
so huge that it could have been hurled by no 
lesser Ajax.  The rock missed its mark, but 
raised a great commotion in toe  little pond.
Thinking he had  given  his  bad  angel a 
fright that would  last him a fortnight, Pete 
returned to his work.  He had almost filled 
his pan  with  very rich  looking  dirt, when 
up popped toe frog’s head  and out came his 
tantalizing “Struck it?  Struck it?”

Pete  threw  the  pan  of  gravel  as far as 
he could send it and  made  for the frog, de­
termined  on  its  destruction.  He  would 
stand no more of  its infernal deviltry.

Shovel in hand,he waded ont into toe mid­
dle of  toe little reservoir  and  scooped  and 
tore about in it with a  vigor  and  venom of 
a mad  bull.  Once or  twice he saw,  or im­
agined he  saw,  the  frog  dart  through  the 
discolored  water,  and  brought  down  toe 
back of  the  shovel on toe spot  with such a 
“spat”  that  toe  blow  might  have  been 
heard a mile away.

At last, not seeing  anything  more of the 
frog, Pete concluded that he had killed him. 
He gave toe  little  animal a  parting  curse 
And, being jpought up to such a pitch of ex­
citement  and  nervousness  that  he  could 
work no more that afternoon,  strode away, 
put on his coat and went home.

The  next  morning  he  returned  to  his 
claim and his work.  He washed  out sever­
al pans of dirt,  and  was  getting  good  pay 
ont of all he washed  when  suddenly  there 
fell upon his ear the  shrill  cry  of  “Struck 
it?”

The first note sent a thrill  through Pete’s 
stalwart frame like toe sharp  shock  of  an 
electrical battery;  then a  chill fell upon his 
heart and his hair almost rose on end.  His 
evil genius,  as he now  firmly  believed  toe 
little green frog to be, was still  there,  alive 
and at  his old tricks

“May toe curse o’ howly St. Patrick light 
on ye!” cried Pete.  Then  be  kicked  over 
toe pan of dirt he had dug  and made a rush 
for toe  reservoir,  the frog  “plumping” un­
der the water with a little  chirp  at  his ap­
proach.  Again Pete went  into  the  reser­
voir  with  his  long-handled  shovel.  He 
charged about, but could see  nothing of toe 
frog nor anything that  looked  like it.  Be­
ing determined to do his enemy  this  time, 
Pete went for his pan  and  began  trying to 
bail  out  toe  reservoir.  Finding  this  too 
great a task, he got his pick,  dug  down toe 
embankment of rocks and earth forming toe 
little dam,  and eagerly  watched,  with  up­
lifted shovel, for toe frog as  the  water  ran 
off.  The water all ran out of toe reservoir, 
but his little  tormentor  was  nowhere  to be 
seen

Pete waded out into toe oozy  bed  of toe 
pool, digging  and ploughing «bout with his 
Shovel,  but  he  failed  to  start  the  goblin 
frog.  He then arrived at the  very reasona­
ble conclusion that the little imp  had  gone 
down toe stream  with  toe  body  of  water 
to ft rushed out of toe reservoir when it was 
opened.  He cruised  about  the  spot for an 
hour or more,' going  down  toe  channel of 
toe canon, turning over  rocks  and  beating 
tofts pf grass with his shovel, butsawnoto- 
itig of the frog.  Thinking  his  evil  genius
[had bgen washed dqyra  through  tof  canon

.....................

in order that he might have water ready for 
use in toe morning.  This job done, he went 
home, feeling quite sure that he  had  either 
killed or permanently ousted  his  little ene­
my.

The next day he  returned  to  his  work. 
Before  starting  ip,  however,  he  walked 
around toe reservoir  several  times, p arin g 
keenly into toe  water  and  kicking  every 
bunch of grass about its  margin.  The frog 
was nowhere to be seen or started.

Pete then went to his  prospect  hole  and 
began  digging,  stopping occasionally, how­
ever, to cock an  eye  toward  toe  pond and 
listen for toe frog.  There was  no  sign  of 
th9 little imp,  and Pete’s heart grew lighter. 
He had dug a pan of dirt without  toe usual 
hated interruption,  and was on  his  way to 
wash it out when—“Struck it?  Struck it?” 
was squeaked from toe pond by  the  goblin 
frog.

This was too much  for  Pete.  The  pan 
dropped from his hands,  his under jaw fell, 
and he sank down upon  toe  nearest  bowl­
ders.  As he was wondering if it was possi­
ble for him ever in any way to  rid  himself 
of the evil thing that destroyed his luck, toe 
frog again called out,  as  cheerily  as  ever: 
“Struck it?  Struck it?”

“May the devil bum ye!” cried Pete.  “No,
I  haven’t struck it and,  what’s more, I nev­
er will strike it wid ye there, ye  dirty  little 
blackguard!  Must  I   be  cornin’  aftoer  ye 
again, ye unclean baste o’ the devil?” 

“Struck it!” said  the frog.
“Ye think so?” cried  Pete, sarcastically, 
and, catching up a pick, he  ran  to  toe res­
ervoir and began digging down the embank­
ment.

Soon, however, he paused  in  this  work 
and, throwing down his  pick,  said,  “No, 
it’s of no use.  Haven’t I toried to get  him 
in all manner o’ ways?”  No,  when  I  get 
toe wather off he’ll  be  gone.  He’s  no hu­
man frog. 
I’ll jist let  him  howld  posses­
sion an’ I’ll nunt me. another  place.  Divil 
a lick will I ever sthrik« here again;  it’s toe 
divil’s own child  he  is. 
I’ve  heard  birds 
talk and bastes talk,  but niver  wan o’ thim 
all that could shpake so plain as  this  little 
green divil that’s widout  either  feathers or 
hair—he’s not human.”

Pete  began  gathering  up  his  tools  and 
clothes with  the  intention  of  vacating toe 
place, when he stopped and gozed wistfully 
at his prospect hole.  “A  promising  place 
it was, too, in toe main,” said he.  “Howly 
Mother!  Shall  I,  a  Christian  and  a good 
Catholic,  be tormented away  by  a dirty lit­
tle heretic baste  like  you?  No. 
I’ll  give 
him a warmin’ yit, and all toe likes of him. 
I’ll  pepper  him  to-morrow!”  So  saying, 
Pete put  on  his  coat  and  struck  out for 
home,  turning to shake his  fist  toward the 
pond as he departed.

The next morning, Pete  went  up toward 
Johnstown,  a  little  trading  post  about a 
mile above his claim,  and  borrowed a shot­
gun;  then he bought a  quantity  of  powder 
and shot and returned toward his mine in  a 
vengeful mood.  Again and again  he  said, 
as he strode along:  • “I’ll  kill  that  frog if 
it’s among the possibilities!”

On reaching bis claim,  Pete  crawled  to a 
big rock near toe pond and,  seating himself 
upon it, watched patiently for over an hour, 
but toe  frog  was  neither  to  be  seen  nor 
heard.

“He has run away,” said  Pete,  “but Pll 
kill him if he’s anywhere on  the face of the 
earth!”

He then  moved  cautiously  along  down 
the  canon.  Although  frogs  were  quite 
common on toe Carson river, they were sel­
dom seen in Gold Canon,  At last, however, 
Pete saw what he thought might be his tor 
mentor.  He blazed away with  his gun and 
stretched toe creature  lifeless  on  toe mar­
gin of toe trail.  He was  beginning  to re­
joice over toe victory he had  gained,  when 
up from the spot  leaped  another  frog, the 
very picture of  that  he  had  killed.  Pete 
looked at this new apparition,  then  turned 
and gazed on toe slaughtered  animal, to be 
sure he was dead.  Finding it still stretched 
on toe ground,  he  went  after  toe  second 
frog,  which he finally succeeded  in killing. 
All that day  he  hunted  up  and  down the 
canon,  blazing  away  at  everything 
that 
moved.  He  slaughtered  many  toads  and 
lizards, but only one other frog.

The next day he  was  again  out with his 
gun,  and  every day for  about  a week, ex­
tending his hunt as far as toe Carson River, 
and  firing  away  many  pounds  of  shot to 
little effect.  He talked of  little  but  frogs, 
and toe miners along the canon, who always 
found  great - sport  in his eccentricities and 
in  his  superstitious notions,  “stuffed” him 
with many stories of  toe  baleful  influences 
of  frogs and toads.

One  morning, to toe  surprise  of  the joc­
ular  members of toe  camp, for  whom  his 
insane  warfare  on  toe  frogs had afforded 
great sport, instead of  starting ont with  his 
gun,  Peté took his pan  and crevicing spoon 
and departed down toe canon  in  toe direc­
tion of  his claim.  An hour later Pete same 
tearing  up  toe  canon  to  toe  camp  wild­
eyed.  “Pll  never  storike  pick  intil  this 
canon again!”  cried he. 
“That imp o’ toe 
devil if still there on me  claim l'  J was but

This 

T H E   LAST  WORD.'
is 

last  opportunity  T he 
T radesman  will  hare  to urge  upon  the 
men of  the State  the  importance 
Of  having  a  large  representation  at  the 
Cheboygan  convention.  Matters  of  vital 
ilffiportattce  to every business  man will  be 
Resented  for discussion and  action and the 
plans there formulated will serve as a guide 
for  the  business  public for  some  time  to 
pome.  That  no  mistakes  may  be  made— 
that all  the points  incident  to such  work 
may  be brought  out—it  is  essential  that 
^•fhere be a full representation from all parts 
of the State.  Present indications give good 
grounds for th e belief that such will  be the 
case,  but  T he  T radesman  hopes  none 
;.%WlH remain at home who can ppssibly spare 
fhe time to attend.

¿ , -  I t should be understood that all  business 
men  are  invited to attend  the annual  con- 
vention of  the M. B. M. A., whether mem­
bers  of  a local  organization  or  not.  Of 
¡lipmirse, only the regularly-elected  delegates 
will be  entitled to the voting  privilege,  but 
allw ill  be granted  seats in the  convention 
—-snd  probably to  a voice  in the  delibera- 

;  tU>ns of toe meeting.

^   Merchants should remember  that the  re- 
cent ruling of  toe Postmaster General  pro­
hibits  the use  of  (< anything in the nature 
.»f  an offensive  or threatening  dun”  on  a 
postal card. 
It is allowable  for a person to 
»Cud a bill or a request to remit  or call  and 
¿settle, but  anything further  is liable  to  re- 
in toe  interference of toe government.

Originality in Business.

BgK*'. 
I''1  "There is  no lack of  industry among  gro- 
«erymen.  They  are  hard-enough  workers. 
[t  They make themselves  tired through  their 
fe  activity and  attention  to  business.  They 
||p & t rid of  as much  energy as they  ought— 
-  perhaps  mere.  But  possibly  they do  not 
|^«xpend  their powers  always  in the  wisest 
ILWay.'  Is  there not reason to think  that too 
ffigjpOTf of  them  work as  wisely as  they  cer- 
p^fainly do  assiduously?  A  man  may  tire 
‘fl  -himself  at  bodily  labor  or  he  may  get

Isn’t  it  a  fact 
pj/thatm ost traders do their business in a way 
th a t is almost  wholly imitative of toe ordi-l 
nary ways of running stores?  That is, that 
they  expend  their  energies  in  imitative 
gi'Work instead of mental endeavor to conceive 
KPi&ter methods?  Is  the ideal business map 
the one who watches how the others do and 
Plpsjtowstheir' ways, or  is  he  toe  man  who 
I . -does some original  thinking about his  busi- 
¡¡¡pess?  Which would you rather be?  Which

fu  toought of, or carry into effect  conceptions

Evidently  a  Fraud.

L eroy,  July 28,  1888.

E. A. Stowe, Grand Rapids:

Dea r  Sir—We desire,  through  the  me­
dium of  your  paper, to warn  the  trade  of 
the State against a man  who  is now travel 
ing  in  Michigan  in  the interest of  a New 
Yprk wall paper house.  He borrowed some 
money of  one of  our  clerks, on  promise of 
returning  it in a few  days—a  promise  he 
has not made good.  He  is  about  45  years 
old,  wears a grayish-colored moustache and 
is addicted to stuttering.  We consider him 
unworthy the  confidence of  business  men 

Yours truly,

M. V.  Gundrum &  Co.

The clerk who was the victim in the above 

case writes T he T r adesm an as follows: 
Leroy,  July 28,  1888.

E. A. Stowe, Grand  Rapids :

D ea r  Sir—About the 9th of  this  month 
mail came to Leroy and  represented  him- 
self  as Mr.  Hadley,  of  the  firm  of  Warren 
Hadley & Co.,  manufacturers of  and whole 
sale dealers in wall  paper, Broadway,  New 
York.  He said he had  been  in every town 
in the State.  He waited  here  two days for 
mail,  but  got  none;  that  he  dealt  largely 
with a Detroit  house (whom I well  know) 
that he was  out  of money;  that if  1 would 
let  him  have  enough  to  get to Detroit he 
rould  then  return  it. 
I   did  so,  but  no 
money has come back. 
I wrote the Detroit 
house,  but  they know  nothing of  him. 
am  certain he is a fraud  and  that I am not 
his  only  victim.  1  think  he  should  be 
passed around. 

Yours truly,

Chinese  Cash.

A large number are engaged in moulding, 
casting, and  finishing  the  “cash” used  as 
coin  all over  China—Mexican  dollars  and 
Sycee  silver  being  used  in  large  transac­
tions.  The  cash are made from an alloy of 
copper  and  zinc, nearly  the  samffias  the 
well  known  Muntz  metal;  and  it  takes 
about  1,000 of  them  to  answer as  change 
for a  dollar, so  minute  and  low do  prices 
run  in that country.

His  Conclusions  Correct.

From, th e A ntrim  County A dvertiser.

Frank A. Howig,  who writes his personal 
experiences so entertainingly for T h e Mich­
ig a n  T radesman,  covers  so  much  and 
such varied grounds  therein  that one is in­
evitably  led  to  the  conclnsion  that  he  is 
either the champion liar or a careful student 
the  encyclopoedia  and  current  news, 
Whichever it is,  his articles are readable and 
his conclusions correct.

Bank  Notes.

De  Puy Bros, will  soon  have their  new 

bank at Grand Ledge ready for business.

Tifò  attempt of  Brown  &  Co. to  merge 
their  Bank of  Charlevoix into  a  National 
bank has fallen through.

fatoily, who 
Kalamazoo.  ’ 
/M . K. Walton has resigned  his  position 
with Curtiss & Co. to  go  on  the  road  for 
Gould & Austin,  of  Chicago.

Amos S. Musselman  is  taking  a  portion 
of Chas. Brooks? trip this week.  The latter 
is taking a brief r^pite from road life.

Sidney  F.  SteVens  and  wife  have  re­
turned  from  Alexandria  Bay, where  they 
spent,  a  week-  or  ten  days  in  pursuit 
pleasure.

D.  S.  Gilmore, for  six years  past  house 
salesman  for  Curtiss  &  Dunton,  succeeds 
M. K.  Walton  as  traveling  salesman  for 
Curtiss & Co.

Louis  Yan  AllSburg,  junior  member 

the'retail  furniture  firm  of  A.  R.  Yan 
Allsburg & Son  has  gone  on  the road  for 
M. J. Murphy & Co., of  Detroit

Renselaer  Yan Ness,  who  recently  sold 

his  residence  at 595  Wealthy  avenue, 
building  another residence on the east  side 
of South College avenue,  near Wealthy ave- 
nue.

Chas. N. McWhorter, formerly local man­
ager for  R. G. Dun & Co., has  severed  his 
connection  with  Coffin,  Devoe  &  Co, 
accept  a  situation as traveling reporter  for 
his former  employers.

W.  G. Hawkins wishes  the business men 
and hotel waiters of  Lake Odessa to under­
stand  that he has  never seen the  inside of 
an  insane  asylum,  Will  Jones to  the  con­
trary notwithstanding.

One of Wm.  H. Allen’s  horses was taken 
sick at Watson  early last  week,  necessitat­
ing  his  lying  idle  the  remainder  of  the 
week.  He  started out  again on  Monday, 
the animal having recovered.

Charley Robinson did a ‘graceful  act  last 
Saturday  in  assisting  a  worthy  lady, the 
wife  of  a  well-known  traveling  man,  by 
raffling  off  a hand-painted  mirror  for  $25 
and then returning  the  article, which  hap 
pened to fall to Fred. Rice.

I. M.  Clark & Son  have  increased  their 
road force by two during  the  past  week— 
Wm.  Yander  Yeer,  who  goes  south  and 
southwest, and S. B.  Taylor, who will work 
the  trade  of  the  central  portion  of  the 
State.  Mr.  Taylor lives at Lansing.

The  Detroit  traveling  men  must  be 

queer set of fellows.  They challenged the 
Grand Rapids boys to a match game of base 
ball,  which was  accepted.  Now the  Grand 
Rapids  ball  tossers  have  waited for  two 
months, for  the word to go on to  Detroit to 
cross bats with their brethren.  The Detroit 
travelers should  bear in mind that base ball 
is usually played dpring the summer months 
that  it is  not a. vei^r poyular  game in the

winter.

‘It has been a great pleasure since my stay 
in Denver to Teeelve and peruse your valued 
paper, as It brings  me nearer  Michigan and 
my  many  acquaintances. 
I  am  feeling 
quite  well,  although  the warm weather has 
set me back somewhat. 
I  hope  soon to re­
turn  to  old  Grand  Rapids,  which  I  con­
sider  in a business  point of  view far ahead 
of  Denver,  or  any  other  city of  its  size 
which I have seen  in my travels.”

in a list of  the  members  of  their  Associa­
tion.

H. M. Marshall has been re-elected Presi­
dent  of  the  Lawrence  B. M. A.  and  J. H. 
Kelly succeeds C. A.  Stebbins as Secretary. 
The  President generously offers  to  furnish 
a good  room for the  meetings of  the Asso­
ciation and warm and light it at his own ex- j 
pense, if  all  the members will  agree  to at­
tend  the meetings.  Such an offer  ought to

the  Mamton  and  other  islands during the 
forenoon  of  Monday,  reaching  Mackinac 
Island at 4 p. m.  and  spend  the  afternoon 
sightseeing, goipg to Cheboygan  during the 
evening and be ready for the opening session 
of  the:Association  Tuesday  morning.  Re­
turning,  we will  leave  Cheboygan after the 
banquet  Thursday  evening  and  vary  the 
trip to  suit  the  passengers, reaching Mus­
kegon Friday or Saturday morning.
Sleeping accommodations on the boat will 
be furnished, and  there  are  eight  or more 
state-rooms for the use of  ladies  who want 
to go.  The  cost  of  the  trip, 
including 
berth,  will  be  $10  for  the  round  trip  if 
twenty go;  $9 if thirty go, and  $8  if  forty 
go.  The  half-fare  by  railroad  is  $10.50 
from Muskegon.
For  meals,  passengers  can  carry  lunch

uuw  uu m e  statute oooks  should be super- 
ceded  by a measure  more  equitable to  the 
main  who  places  confidence  in  another’s 
integrity.

Pennsylvania  Grocer:  We  were  under 
the  impression that  Michigan business men 
were  aware that the  new postal  laws sup­
pressed dunning letters.  We are-in receipt' 
of an invitation from President Frank Ham­
ilton,  on  which  appears  in  large  letters, 
diagonally across the front of the envelope, 
“On to  Cheboygan!”  This is in the nature 
of  a  dun—dunning  us  to  attend the  next 
convention,  and will  be handed over  to the 
Postmaster General.

Cheboygan  Tribune:  Tiie  Mich ig an

Whom  Shall  It  Be ?

■ ■ I 

When the initial convention of  the Mich­
igan Business Men’s Association  was  held 
in this city,  two  years  ago,  it was  evident 
to all present that there was one  man  who 
was fitted to an eminent  degree  to
assume 
I the directorship of  the new organization, so 
that the unanimous  election of  Mr.  Hamil­
ton to the presidency at the  closind  session 
of  the convention created no surprise.  The 
fidelity  with  which  he  discharged  every 
j duty connected  with  that  important  office 
was  recognized at the  second  annual  con­
vention  by the  adoption of  ringing  resolu­
tions  of  thanks  and a. unanimous  re-elec­
tion by acclamation,  even in the face of  his 
expressed  desire  that  some  other hand be 
placed at the helm.  Not being a man given 
to flinching,  he has  given  the  Association 
leven
more attention during the secong term
than he did the first  year, with a result pat­
ent to all observers.

It  is  with  genuine 

regrtet  that  The 
Tr ad esm a n  announces that Mr. Hamilton 
positively refuses  to  allow  his name to be 
used in  the  same  connection a th^jd  time, 
which  means  that  the--members  must  be 
casting  about  for a suitable  person for his 
successor.  Notwithstanding the enormous 
amount of  work accomplished by Mr.  Ham­
ilton during the past  two  years, it is essen­
tial, that  his  successor be a man of  intense 
activity and broadguage  ideas—a man  who 
will dedicate himself  to the work and carry 
it forward  wifh  the  same  degree  of  thor­
oughness  which  has characterized the first 
President’s administration.

Whom shall it be ?

Three  Delegates from  Greenville. 
Gr e en v ill e,  July 25,  1888.

E. A. Stowe, Grand Rapids:

Dea r Sir—Our Association  have chosen 
A.  C.  Satterlee, James  Towle and  myself
are entitled to six delegates, but on account 
of  the  reunion of  the Soldiers and  Sailors’ 
at that time many cannot go who otherwise 
w»uld,  We will  try and  have a full  dele­
gation,  however,  and  prophecy  that  any 
tspho go will  be amply repaid, judging  from 
the programme  published in  T h e Tr a d es­
m an. 
„ A s   heretofore,  I  am  enthusiastic  for  a
Michigan  Business  Man’s  Fire  Insurance 
Co. and  believe the convention will
Co. and  believe the convention will  accept 
the  opportunity and  give  the  question  a 
free pro and con discussion.
Hoping to-see  you and many other enter­
prising business men there,  I remain 

.

Yours respectfully,
Gfco. B.  Caldwell,  Sec’y.

Refined  Sugar is Made.

A  report«: of  the  Record was  ifteentiy j 
e lm   through  one  of  the  -Boston- sugar 
»fineries and thus records his observations: 
J jp É íb   refinery  Is  toil  and  gloomy,  with 1 
floors  that  are  not sun»  than  eight  feet 
jpfejPtot,. 
Its  huge, misshapen  outlines  are 
fj^mpósatibly gloomy, while from ita t times 
«orate  a  mysterious  creaking  that  really] 
semas something  more  portentous than  the] 
abating down of  the sugar  as it rims  into
In   the storehouse  are  piles of  bags and 
barrels, from all of which is oozing a  sticky 
sweetness.  An electric  railway takes  six 
tons of  sugar -on its  cars  and  trundles off 
íjéwitentedly  to  the  mixing  house.  The 
^angaar is dumped into a great  vat, melted in ] 
hot water and  stirred  up with a  constantly 
¿’moving  «tlrrer.  A  strainer  removes  the 
A ptanf hag and stick.  The barrels and bags 
washed and steamed to get all the sugar 
S u fi and  even the  scrapings from  the floor 
>tore saved.  The melted sugar now goes into 
x fhft refinery,  where its density and heat are j 
.carefully established.
The interior of the refinery is all  ups and I 
downs, narrow step-ladders, low beams, and 
a . temperature of  about  140  degrees.  The] 
men work bore to the waist.  After mixing, 
the,  sugar goes to  the bag  filters to get  rid I 
of  the dirt.  The filters  are  contained  in 
.«chambers with perforated roofs.  Each hole 
jggflsg ’via the roof is fitted with a neck or “bottle.”
From the bottle depends a linen bag,  closed 
W  
raj&  ' at  the lower  mid.  Outside the  bag, as  a 
§ 
pillow-case  to  the bag’s  pillow, is  a stout 
, sheath  to  prevent  the bag  from  bursting.

B
- T h e  melted sugar is poured in  over the top [ 
and, as  it runs  down  through  the  bag, it 
m 
j pg  %  leaves  most of  the  foreign  matter.  The 
| | y .' 
sugar is followed by a stream of pure water | 
that washes all the  sugar out.  The refuse,
IP!,'/
; which  looks like  dark  mud, is “stripped” | 
from  the togs so that they can  be washed.

black  is  heated red hot in  enclosed  cham- 
bets, allowed to partly  cool, away from  the 
| |  
Bp? 
air, then  it  is  slowly  passed  through  the 
fp f  v 
rooms,  cooling, until  it reaches  the “char 
I lf  11 filters.”  When these are charged, the sugar | 
llfc&f'  is poured in at the top, a dark-colored fluid, I

water.  Toward the last of the filtering  the

It  is  pumped!
ünto the boilers, vacuum pans which as soon 
as  filled to a certain  height are  closed and 
g ffl'' 
the air exhausted. 
It  boils at a lower tern- j 
¡¡I * 
perature than 212 degrees.  Then the syrup 
¡¡¡PI  bubbles  and  boils, until  by a change  only 
i | | p   perceptible to a skilful eye the  grain begins 
to  come. 
^ p |  
In  goes more  melted  sugar, and 
the  graining  goes on  until the  peep-holes 
U- \  
P- 4 
in  toe pan are clogged with  sugar and  the 
Irff  whole  pan filled  with  a  mixture of  sugar | 
i p . >  and  syrup.  The boiling  requires no  ordi- 
¡II''  „  nary skill or judgment.  The first filling of]
th e pan must be just so or it will be spoiled. I 
0 \ -   The-workman  must decide  the size of  the I 
Ep^  f  grain  by ¡careful i boiling  and  shutoff  the 
life   -  steam when the right moment is reached.
Next  follow the  centrifugals, where toe ] 
BKfe  - mixture  becomes  sugar.  Down from  toe 1 
vat  under  the  pans  through  a  spout  toe 
lpB% ■  sugar  falls, 50 pounds at a time, into a hoi- ] 
Sow cylinder  surrounded by a pocket.  The

India  Rubber  Horseshoes.

. 

The proposed substitution of India rubber 
to r metal in the manufacture of horseshoes,
.  -says toe  Mechanical  News, is based  upon 
m B ?   ^various supposed  advantages, one of  these 
IPPgv-  being that - toe former  enables a horse to go 
S m kv  easily over all kinds of  roads and  rough or 
■-Slippery ground without slipping.  The con­
trivance brought forward for this purpose is
• such as to obviate in one instance the neces­
sity of  rising  an  iron shoe  which  can  be 
moved  momentarily  when the  horse is  not 
traveling, and  can also  housed  when  the 
horse  is shod  with an iron  shoe.  Accord-
f jng to this  design  the shoe  consists of  an 
^ India  rubber bottom  piece moulded  to  fit 
¿¡toHsr or aroundto©flog and  toe hoof, with 
a  ledge or projecting rim rising up toe front 
/and «around about toe  level where toe nails 
are clamped, toe  projection having  anedg- 
- ftig  under which a steel  band or other  ap­
pliance  can  be drawn and  nipped  tight  to 
petain  the rubber  shoe.  The  band is con­
nected  by  studs, which  pass  through  toe 
heel part of  toe hoof, this  being cut  away 
from toe inner side for the purpose, and toe 
■stud or studs  may work eccentrically to ob­
tain  grip or fixing. 
If  thernbber  shoe is 
/ «sed with an iron  shoe, the frog  portion or 
¡ gad  has a front  plate and  two side  wings 
i 
imbedded in it, toe projection tak­
ing hold under toe iron shoe to fix  toe rub­
If  the rnbber  shoe be 
ber  shoe in  place. 
g divided or made thin in the center, a swivel 
^;«or  other bar  can be  contracted  from  toe 
% rear to reduce toe width of  the pad, so that 
v  it enters easily and  also expanded so  as to 
k'.aiy the rubber shoe in position.

u ,   among  the  thousands  of  readers  of 
PpjEpB -TbadEsuah,  there  are  parties  who 
I^llldte lf  a matter of duty  to  peruse  all the 
teat  appears  in  teat  periodical 
^ p l^ d y ,  and  by  so  doing,  are,  perforce, 
¥ jbliged to “take in” my articles, I  am satis- 
fied  that  none of  them  can  reasonably ac- 
Lcusejneof obtruding my personal prejudices 
f pnd  opinions  relating to  political or relig­
ious  subjects upon them.  And hence, it is 
1 With considerable diffidence teat I approach 
f^'kribject  te al  is  drifting  &om  tee social 
I allude 

and  sentimental  to  tee political. 

Pltptee b^uor problem.
}•'  There is no class of men who should feel 
«deeper  interest  In  restraining  or  eradi­
cating tee evils windx pernicious habits and 
depraved  tastes  indict  upon  society  than 
that  class  who  are  the  readers  and  sup­
porters of  publications  like  the  one  men­
tioned,  Because from teat class comes the 
bidk of  the assessments  that  maintain our 
local police authorities;  because  upon it de­
volves a large share of  the support of  those 
who are pauperized by tee tastes and habits 
in question, and  because, from  its  circum­
stances and surroundings, it is brought into 
frequent  and  unpleasant  contact  with the 
people who indulge in these habits.

The  next  Legislature will, of course,  be 
; called  upon  to  grapple  with the problem, 
and let us devoutly hope that  there  will be 
a  sufficient  amount  of brains  in  the  next 
Legislature to put  the  question at rest, for 
.a time, at least.  And, in  tee meantime,  is 
it too early to ask  ourselves  what our indi­
vidual  ideas are  on  tee subject—whether, 
in  our  mature judgment, total  prohibition 
or rigid tax laws are tee  best  calculated to 
enhance  our  personal  interests;  those  of 
your  localities;  those  of  society,  and  those 
o f tee State at  large ?
*  
• •  *  

*

*  

l  am not going to argue tee pros and cons 
of tee question  at  length  lest,  possibly,  I 
might invite a discussion teat  would be un­
desirable in  any paper outside of  the party 
Organs.  1 am  merely  going  to note a few 
of  my personal  observations  regarding the 
practical workings of prohibitory laws and, 
perhaps,  supplement  them  with  the  evi­
dence of  other parties.  As  these  observa­
tions will, however,  tend to expose my per­
sonal opinion of the  matter,  1 may as well 
say teat, as long  as  intoxicants  are  made, 
and as  long as surrounding  states  legalize 
teeir sale, I  don’t believe teat a suppression 
of  tee traffic in our own State is a practical 
possibility;  and,  because of this  disbelief, 
I   am  in  favor  of constitutionally  worded 
enactments  that  will  keep  the  trade  in 
reasonable  restraint;  protect the rising gen­
eration from acquiring the  drink  habit;  re­
duce to the minimum the rowdyism and bel­
ligerency of  the toper, by making  him per­
sonally responsible  for  his  acts;  place the 
traffic  in  the  hands of  persons  of  at least 
semi-respectability;  limit  the  number  of 
dram shops, and, withal, make  the venders 
and users of  intoxicants  self-supporting, as- 
far as police regulations are concerned.

1 am talking from a business instead of  a 
sentimental  standpoint. 
In  the  language 
of one of our  eminent  men,  “ We  are  not 
-confronting a theory, but  a condition.”  If 
the government of  this country, with all its 
vast resources, cannot  suppress  illicit  dis­
tillation,  how  can a state  suppress  illegal 
Belling?  The  most  iron-clad  prohibitory 
law ever drawn never  succeeded in restrict­
ing liquor  selling  in  the  great  cities, and 
there isn’t a man in America to-day, outside 
o f  the lqwest bummers, and  those confined 
an prisons and asylums, who cannot procure ] 
id s  favorite  beverage, if  he  possesses  the 
Buoney to purchase i t   Which is the better 
¡public policy, to have the liquid products of 
.grain, hops and  gropes  sold  under  the re­
straining  provisions  of  the  law,  or  have 
ithem  surreptitiously dealt in by people  for 
«whom  criminal  prosecutions  have  no  ter- 
iforo ?

In a little town, not a hundred miles from 
*where T h e   T r a d e s m a n  is published, there 
ds to-day but one place  where  liquor'is sold 
as a beverage.  Under  tee  old  prohibition 
Jlftws  there  were usually from five to eight 
\A. case of  street drunkenness is now of very 
/rare occurrence;  in  tee  olden  time  it was 
a n  exceptional  day that didn’t witness  sev­
eral cases of  blind  inebriety and an  excep­
tional  week  when  there  weren’t drunken 
lljjqws.  During all  these  years not a copper 
jw ent into the  local  treasury, yet  the  local 
|bTOasury was  being  constantly depleted  by 
^he expenses  attending tee arrest, trial and 
«^conviction of tee impecunious bnmmer.  Out 
f a f  numerous  prosecutions  for violating tee 
. Jaw, all bat two or three were instituted for 
^ ^ ¿p eroonal. revenge or blackmail.  The two or 
Iglpiiroe exceptional cases  were commenced by
appointed  by a temperance  society
s iP ^ s a r a r a e s   the  saloons.  One  or two con-

Jf; 

SBBSjilBttOM resulted;  some  parties  went out of 

„ ^ ^ S jta.business and others went in; a few rows 

trees, a cropped  horse  or  two, 
and the' deposit of filth  on  sidewalks  and
.  Wilding fronts quickly evaporated  tee  zeal

of ordinary labor.  **

And  what  was  trne  of  the  village'in 
question was true of tee  average Michigan 
village  in  prohibition  days, 
I am  not ar- 
gujng for a moment teat tee  present  status 
of tee  ihjnor  trade  is  satisfactory,  and I 
will  willingly admit that in no event can it 
ever be made  entirely satisfactory, bat I do 
claim  that a  high  tax  law,  and  practical 
enactments  for  regulating tee traffic, are a 
better solution of tee problem than the pro­
hibition that never  prohibits.

An  individual  who  has  traveled almost 
all over America, during tee past five years, 
and whose nose publicly  proclaims  him an 
anti-prohibitionist  from  personal  motives, 
assured me recently that he had never struck 
a  town  of  any  pretensions  in  any of  the 
“dry” or  local  option  states  where  stim­
ulants couldn’t have been  procured in some 
way.  A  gentleman  who  lately  returned 
from  Maine testifies that there is very little 
secrecy,  among  hotel  men,  regarding  the 
selling of  liquor to guests.  A letter from a 
a friend in Iowa says that any sober and re­
spectable person can procure  any variety of 
beverage  required, and  if ’time  and  space 
would  permit, I   could  refer  to  dozens of 
proofs of a similar  nature, all of  which  go 
to strengthen  my  opinion  that  as  long as 
distilleries and breweries exist on American 
soil, and as  long  as  intoxicants of  any na­
ture are allowed to be landed on our shores, 
and  as  long  as a large  proportion  of our 
people openly assert their moral right to eat 
and drink what they choose, as long as they 
eat and drink  temperately,  there  can be no 
laws  enforced  that  will  make  prohibition 
prohibit.

•  * 

* 
What I  would like to see  impressed upon 
a majority of  the coming Legislature is that 
we  want  practical,  instead  of  theoretic, 
dealings with this important question.  Pop­
ular opinion will  support  the  making and 
enforcing  of  common sense  laws  for regu­
lating and restraining and curtailing,  as far 
as possible,  the  traffic  in  intoxicants,  and 
without popular opinion any enactment, for 
any  purpose,  speedily  becomes  a  “dead 
lettee.”  Until  the  advocates of  total  pro­
hibition  outnumber 
the  opponents  of 
‘sumptuary legislation,” and  get  the  ver­
dict of  the  people  that  the  liquor  traffic 
“must go” throughout the  country and that 
the  manufacture  and  importation  of 
the 
goods  shall  be  totally  suppressed,  senti­
mental and theoretic  must give place to the 
common sense and practical.

¡^t taims  eight  skins  to  make a good  rug. 
.Dogs which grow fine  fur  in  that  country 
-Are strangled in the  winter time, when the

Gektlem en—I  duly  received  the  case  of 
I your  .Best  Tonic and have since had a great 
, “ any m this institution.  I must say that the 
beneficial  effects  on  weak  and  debilitated 
patients  have been  most  satisfactory, espee- 
iaily to tiioso in a  stage  of recovery after  se- 
| vere sickness.
I write this  thinking you might like to have

prescribe  it  m future,  where the  system re­
quires building up. either from constitutional 
[ weakness or otherwise.

for ail forms  of Dyspepsia and Indl

Dear Sirs—I have given your “Malt Tonic 
® 
^  several cases of Enfeebled X)icrestion
whs™?h«a  Debility,  especially in the  aged 
^bere  the  whole  system  seems  completely 
prostrated, with  very satisfactory  results.  T 
have  used  many  of  the  so-called  “Malt  Ex­
tracts,  but  believe  your  preparation  to  be 
aged  where  the  digestive 
functions are exhausted, and there is a loss of 
the nerve vital  force, I found its action  to  be 
rapid and permanent.

with  most  gratifying  results in  my  case  o f 
dyspepsia.  My case was  a bad  one, 1  had no 
appetite; headache in the moniing; sour stom- 
12°^king, as  though  I  had  consumption, 
and after taking this tonie I  never felt bettmr 
in  my life.  I think it  will cure a bad case o f

American  Pharmaceutical Association  and 
Treasurer of  the  Michigan  State  Board of

They are the products of  two green-houses, 
controlled but  not owned  by the  subject of 
this  sketch.  Mr.  Yernor is no  mean horti­
culturist and  can place anything in its class 
from a  jimson  weed to a full-fledged  poly­
anthus.  The  Cincinnati  people  thmir  so 
much of  his  ability in  that  line that  they 
have twice  made him a  judge at their floral

The Tribute of a Friend.

During the first week in September, there 
will  be held in Detroit the annual  meeting 
of  the American  Pharmaceutical  Associa­
tion;  also  that  of 
the  M.  S.  P.  A. 
These  meetings  will  probably  bring 
together more  druggists than have  ever, be­
fore  met  at one  time.  Preparations  have 
been  made to make  these conventions  un­
usually  interesting.  Elegant rooms  have 
been engaged  for holding the various  meet­
ings.  The  Detroit  rink  has been  secured 
It  contains about  9,000 
square  feet of  space,  almost“ all  of  which 
has been  spoken for by the  leading  manu­
facturers.  The  entertainments will  be  a 
prominent feature, consisting of^an evening 
at the opera,  a boat ride on one of the finest 
steamers  afloat  on  the finest ^l^er  in  the 
world,  a banquet at Star Island, a reception 
by  the  officers of  both  Associations, fol­
lowed  by  dancing.  Besides the  above,  a 
number  of  pleasant  entertainments  have 
been  arranged  for  the  ladies,  including  a 
boat  ride  to  the  beautiful 
park,
carriage rides  around the  city, etc.

Almost immediately he formed a partner­
ship with Charles L’Hommedieu and opened 
a  drug  store  at the * corner  of  Woodward 
avenue  and  Clifford  street.  A  few  years 
later he bought Mr. L’Hommedieu’s interest, 
became  sole  proprietor,  and  has  remained 
so ever since.

About  this  time  his  enemies  began  to 
trouble  him greatly.  There  were a  great 
many  of  them.  There  is  an  old  saying 
that  he  who  makes  no  foes,  makes  no 
friends. 
In one  day the  youthful Yemor 
made over 15,000,000 of the former.

In September, 1864, he was commissioned 
second  lieutenant.  He was  mustered  out 
of  the service  just in  time to participate as 
a civilian in  the Fourth of  July celebration 
following his promotion.

Rums,

Making  arrangements  for  a meeting  of 
this  sort  means a great  deal  of  work  for 
some  one—not  only work,  but  it  takes  a 
great  amount of  time, and work and  time 
do not  always mean success unless the per­
son  having  it in  hand  has  ability in  this 
line. 
In  appointing  James  Vernor Local 
Secretary,  the  A.  P.  A. and  M.  S.  P.  A. 
showed  great  wisdom.  He  has  proved 
himself  to be  just the  man  for  the place, 
has devoted much valuable time to the work 
and  is determined  to make the  meeting the 
most enjoyable on record.
esteem  by the trade in his  own city, is well I Son County, hand-made 
and  favorably  known  by  many  druggists 
throughout  the  State, and,  when  the  com­
ing  meeting  is  over,  he  will  undoubtedly 
have a national  reputation.  One thing  is 
certain—if  the meeting  is not a success,  it 
will  be no  fault of  Mr.  Yemor,  who  has, 
almost  unassisted,  made  all  the  arrange­
ments for the care, comfort and  pleasure of 
the  many  hundred  druggists  who  will 
attend the meetings. 

Local  Secretary Yernor  is  held  in  high

Drniists’ Favorite  Rye Wiisiy,

Mr.  Yemor’s three  years of  military ser­
vice have left ineffaceable marks upon him.
His  naturally tall  and graceful  figure is as 
straight  as a  gun  barrel.  His  beard  is 
scooped off  at th ^  chin after  the most  ap­
proved  Anglo-miHtary  style, and  there  is 
about  him a certain  je ne  sots  Quoi which 
continually impresses the beholder with the 
idea that he is about to pull a long sabre out 
of  his rear elevation  pocket and  cut some­
body’s  head  off—all  without  malice  and 
from  force of  habit, of  course, for  James 
Yemor  is  one of  the  best  natured,  best 
hearted men alive.

It  seems rather  superfluous  to  say any­
thing about  his  ability as a pharmacist, but 
there is one  plank in his  business platform 
which  a  good  mShy  otherwise  excellent 
druggists  haven’t got  That plank is made 
up  of  equal  parts of  caution,  carefulness 
and good judgment 
It doesn’t  matter who 
the  physician  is,  his prescriptions  have to 
pass  the  closest  scrutiny  and  when. Mr,;
Vernor  sees the  ganger signal  lie pulls  up 
short and  runs  back to  the  next  station.
When  he  is  unaware  of  the  effects  -of 
certain  drugs w htflr|)e  ordered to  pom-;
bine  he dives  into the  pharmacopoeia  and 
flads  out.  No  chances  are ever  tafcim  in 
Vernoris  store, ¡»«M o  clerk -ever  doer a

One of the Possibilities.

It has come to the  ears of  Th e Tr a d es­
m an  that  many  druggists  throughout  the 
State  are of  the opinion  that  Mr. Yemor’s 
many  sendees to the  cause of  pharmacy in 
general  and the  M.  S.  P. A. in  particular 
entitle  him  to  official  recognition  at  the 
hands  of  that  organization. 
Such  be­
ing the  case,  a goodly number of  the  mem- j 
bers  will  press  his name  before, the  con-| 
yention  in connection with the  presidency.
.  Mr. Yernor  is probably the most  popular 
pharmacist  in  the  State and if  it  is  once 
understood that  he is a  candidate, his  elec­
tion would go through like a whirlwind.

Hock on the Hudson River road, away hack 
in   the sixties. 
It  was  a  very warm  day 
end just about dinner time.  The train was 
behind  time  and  running  at  high  speed.
¿ 1  sat at the open window eating my dinner, 
which  was composed  of  bread  and  roast 
ihetik, and  was  drinking in  the cool  wind 
from the beautiful Hudson.  Suddenly came 
< a  crash and  the next I  knew I  was  sitting 
on  the river  bank, my lunch floating down 
the  stream.  Sixty people  were killed  in 
this  terrible disaster. 
It  was  awful!  In 
the car  I  was  in, sixteen  people  lost  their 
Hves, and I  had not even a  scratch. 
I  was 
hurled through the open window and saved 
*—-the man who  sat next me  was killed. 
I 
crossed  the Atlantic in  *73 in a sailing ves­
sel—tqpk  that  way of  going for  the  ex­
perience.  Twelve  days out of  Boston, the 
ship  sank in a gale  and I floated two  days 
on a cabin  door, with  nothing to  eat  and 
nothing  to drink.  Then  I   was  picked up 
by a  steamer outward bound and  continued 
my  trip. 
I   sat  next to F. B. Bliss on  the 
ill-fated  train that was  wrecked at  Ashta­
bula, Ohio.  He and his  family and  some 
hundred of others were  killed  and  injured 
-—I  escaped again with  only the loss of  my 
trunk. 
I sat  on a train at Jackson, Michi­
gan, about ten years  ago, as it stood  in the 
yards  about to pull out.  A swift  running 
switch  engine crashed  into us, through the 
careless leaving  open of  a switch, mid  in a 
minute—yes, in a second—God  only knows 
bow  many people were hurled into eternity!

I   had my 
arm  broken, however, which was  the only 
time I  was ever injured. 
I  sat  in the  par- 
qnette of the Brooklyn opera  house, to  see 
Kate Claxton  in “The Two Orphans.”  As 
the curtain  arose in  the third  act, fire was 
seen to fall from  the flies on the  stage, and 
within  two hours  three  hundred  and  five 
men, women  and children had  perished  by

I   been aboard, I  would  be able to tell  the

The other day a  gentleman  entered  one 
o f the largest stores of this  city  in  pursuit 
of an article the  price  of  which  he  knew 
would scarcely exceed the  cost  of  postage 
m b   aw   m in c e  letter.  The fact of its  insigni­
ficance  and  that  it  was  rarely  called  for 
made it hard to find.  One clerk after anoth­
e r was  enlisted  in  the  search,  till  finally 
¿flny were joined by  the  proprietor  before 
;  success crowned  their  efforts.  Somewhat 
mortified at the amount  of  trouble  he  had 
caused, the  customer  began  to  apologize, 
when  he  was  silenced  by  the  proprietor 
, with,  “My friend, it was no trouble; it  was 
business.  We  have  experienced  full  as 
;muoh pleasure in finding  that  for  you  as 
ypu have in receiving it. 
If you Insist  up- 
«» calling  this  trouble,  please  remember 
That merchant  made  an  investment  by 
bis courtesy.  He  laid  up  treasure  where 
moth and rust  doth  not  corrupt,  and  it 
wasn’t laid up in Heaven,  either.  He  se- 
eused the patronage  of  a  man,  though  he 
*Hd no* know it, who sometimes makes pur­
chases that are worth the  while.  Without
