The LaWless Business.

The papers that so often declare
prohibition failure ought to take
rest, and after breathing awhile
should then tell US whether license
laws are not also a failure. Can
liquorites be regulated by any law ?
They're an utterly lawless class.
They shrek for license laws and
then trample them under foot.
The East End Law and Order So
ciety among other cases, has
brought one James Connell to face
the law he violated. There were
ten charges against him for viola
ting the liquor law, and he is evil
IDENTIFY one of the very worst men.
The Grand Jury true billed all the
twelve. charges. The Court found
him guilty on four Of the cases ;
and then it was strangely enough
agreed that he might 60 free of the
six remaining charges, ifhe would
pay the costs thus far-about $500
and quit the business, and leave
the place.
This was only partial and light
punishment; but he would not
stand even that He was free. One
of Archy Rowan's clerks by the
name of Black, went after him,
found him, and was driving him in
fine style to the Court House, stop
ned to talk with friend and the
man Council slid away-vamoosed
lit out-and has not been caught
again.
This is a specimen of the justice
dealt out in Allegheny county
against violators of the liquor law.
About $50 liquor dealers were
found guilty, during the June term
of Court, of selling liquor without
license. They are as yet unsen-
fenced. AS the Supreme Court last
Monday gave judgment against
them in the test case, it may be
that they will be called into court
and sentenced. But we'll wait and
see. They are the dear liquor-deal-
ers, and the courts are very tender
of them.
About 500 dealers, taking ad-
vantage of this tenderness of the

a ! woNpERFUL BUSINESS GROWTH


The history of the widely known house
OF Joseph Burnett Il Co., of Boston,
shows a large and fourishing industry,
which has grown from small beginnings.
The extensive business of this house,
which has extended to nearly every civ
ilized country in the world, had rs origin
in what 'might be called an incident, For
an accident, some thirty years ago. At
that time Mr.. Joseph Burnett, the founder
of the house, was doing a large apoth-
ecary business on fremont Street Oppo-
site the British Museum.
y lady who had lived in France and
become accustomed to French methods
of cookery, came into Mr. Burnett's
store one day and asked him If he could
not make decent Flavoring Extract for
her, as she found those in common use
abQminable. She wanted an extract of
vanilla. This was made, which pleased
the lady very much, and from this simple
beginning has grown a business. one
single branch of which now consumes
one-fourth the entire Mexican product,
which is the only recognized best quality
of Vanilla in the world.
1t may be here remarked that an extract
of the Tonka, or ''Snutt Bean" is largely
made and sold for Vanilla Extract, though
the flavor of the Tonka is no more to be
compared with the Vanilla than bur-
dock is to a rose. Some fifty persons are
now directly employed by this concern
in the varied work of bottling, labelling,
packing and boxing their various flavor
ing extracts and toilet preparations, all of
which are of an altogether different ma
ture.
Burnetts Cocaine is a remarkably fine
in liquid form of deodorized
cocoanut oil, for promoting the growth OF
the hair and Identifying it, and tits gen.
orally acknowledged to produce finer
effect than any other hair dressing.
Burnett's Kalliston as wash for the
complexion, to allay irritation of the skin
and scalp, and for the bites of insects,
stands unrivalled among the preparations
of. the day. Lately, and by accident, IL
was discovered to be an almost sovereign
remedy for itching piles.
BurDett's Cologne is really Cologne.
The oil of lavender commonly used to
make cologne water with costs about S1,75
u pound, while the Mltcham Oil of Layen-
der, used by the Burnetts, is imported at
cost of $50 pound. Everything used
in the Burnettpreparation are oft6e very
best, The spirits used are made espec-
tally for their use, and are the purest pro-
duct of the still that can be produced. 1t
Is MIR. Burnett's pride to feel that he is
giving no inferior article to the confidlng
Grated with him in his business two of
his sons, whom he has brought up in the
way of fair dealing. and the spirit of
pride in the production of superior goods
which he has made the system of his life.
and they will no doubt continue the busi-
ness In that way when he shall have re-
tired from his active pursuit, which will
not be in few years, for Mr.. Burnett Is
a hale, young looking man at the present
time. feb-16-d&w-1t.

meut, which was begun uuder the
direction of the convocation at Can

The two committees did not meet

correspondent with each other and
