English Cooperative Stores.

1t is singular that Americans, who
ordinarily are not slow in adapting to
their own uses the money-saving con-
trivances of foreigners, have never at
tempted to start cooperative stores. In
England these enterprises, begun only a
few years ago on a small scale by those
connected with the government civil
service, have been surprisingly success
full. The first efforts were exceedingly
humble, the rooms being inconvenient as
to location, and the supplies OF goods
small; but by degrees this has been
changed, and now the civil service stores
in London, and others that have been
established in that city and elsewhere
on the same general plan, do an immense
business, and contain large quantities of
every conceivable article that enters in
to household use. These stores are car
are organized in such manner that
small amounts of stock are held by very
large number of persons. The goods are
purchased by the agents of the COM
panies, at the lowest market rates, and in
turning them over to the consumer every
effort is made to keep down the cost to
the lowest point that the neces-
sites of distribution will per-
nit. That is, money is not spent to Sc
cure conspicuous quarters, or in interior
or exterior decoration of the buildings;
the number of statesmen and saleswomen
isno larger than is absolutely necessary,
and it often happens that purchasers
have to await their turn to be served !;
then, too, each customer has to make out
his own bill, and the goods bought are
not sent home for him. In order that
one may purchase at these stores he must
either be stakeholder or-as many
Americans who have recently been in
London know by experience-the friend
of a stakeholder. When 80 situated he
obtains his supplies, be they -four, oil,
soap, dry goods, or cologne, at price
closely approximating to their wholesale
cost. What is left over in the company's
treasury, after expenses are paid, is re-
turned as dividend to those who hold
the stock. The result has been that in
a great number of instances those trad.
ing at these cooperative stores have
been able to purchase household wares
at reduction of from Is to 80 per cent.
on their ordinary retail price in London.
The advantages of the plan are now so
thoroughly recognized that the pros
pectuses are out for two new stores, one
a ladies' millinery and dress-making cs-
Establishment, the other for gentlemen's
furnishing goods of all kinds.

and away from railroad communicate on, has
witnessed Il tragedy that exhibits a,curioNs
phase Of Justice. \ short tii,:e ago q man
named Epperson went home Intoxicated
and commenced to beat his vile. At this
juncture, Joe, one Of the st'ns, deformed
man, having been born with one arm, ran
in, and, seeing the state Of things, went to
the assistance of his mother. Being hard
pressed, Joe whipped out Il knife and com.
menced cutting his father, and in Il few mo-
meuts had cut the old man down to the
door. An elder brother then made his ap.
pearauce, and seeing the plight his father
was in, drew his pistol and leyeled it at his
deiormed brother; but before he could fire
the mother interposed her form between
them and received the bullet. \ few flying
eAden pellets delivered afterwards wound
ed q sister in the knee, and also al outside
boy. The father, mother and daughter died
from their injuries. Before dying the moth
er begged that her slayer should not be
prosecuted, rs he had killed her uninten.
tionaIly, and she did not blame him for in
terfering for his father. The father died
also, having been killed by his second son
before he died he also forgave his slayer,
saying that the sou had the right to take the
part Of his mother. The authorities, under
these circumstances, held preliminary ex-
animation and released the culprits, afte.
generating them from all blame.
