The Vancouver independent. (Vancouver, W.T. [Wash.]) 1875-1910, 1881-02-17

"TEN NIGHTs In BAR RooM". This
popular temperance drama was produced at
Brants Hall on last Friday and Tuesday
evenings to large and appreciative audiences.
The play as produced was composed entirely
of amateur talent of this city, and we must
state that it was rendered in a most credit
able manner. Mr.. A. Dobbins personated
"Sample Swichel, the Yankee" in an excel
lent manner, and brought down the house
repeatedly with his witty and sarcastic ex.
pressions. He was simply immense. Mr.
+. +. Eddings assumed the character of
''Joe Morgan, the drunkard," and on this
occasion made, we might say, his debut be-
fore the public, and performed his role in
a manner that reflected much credit, indeed,
upon himself. Mr.. c. c. Gridley, as evil
lie Hammond, the dandy" performed his
part we'll, as did also Miss Emma Steward,
rs '.Nirs Mtrgan;" Miss Anna Steward, as
"Mehitable Cartrigbt, the servant girl, and
Miss Hattie Marsh, as "Mrs. Slade, the
landlords wife" The other characters in
the play were all well represented On
Tuesday evening the tableau "The Death Of
little Mary" where the child dies, with Joe
Morgan and his wife knceling by the bed
side. was rendered more affecting by the APP
pearance 1.-Two angels, looking down upon
the dead child. Taken as whole. the play
was well rendered and success, especially
as this was the first attempt on the stage Of
all who pcrsonated characters. The pro-
ceeds, which amounted to about Sl75, will
be applied towards the payment Of the new
organ purchased for the NJ. Il. Church in
this city.

WALHALLA, SOUTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY APRIL o. 1881.

Of ground, turned out in single month
over one million pounds, or daily average
OF 10000 pounds, equal to the product Of
J as many cows. Only one fifteenth Of this
| amount Yves exported.
This industry 10 Franco employs hun
dreds of mcn, and tho product is sold ia
Paris as margarine" (pcarl like,) the duty
charGeable being the same as on
ordinary butter.
From twenty to twenty Eve pounds Of
beef butter is attainablo from each Of the
$4,000 beeves killed weekly in Now York
| and sdjaoent cities, an annual addition oi
not less than $4,000 900 pounds of choice
food product with commercial valus Of
fifteen to twenty cents per pound
Formerly, this fat was sold for FIVE aud six
cents and used to mako candles and soa ps
The opponents of olcomargarine admit the
annual use Of 90,000,000 pounds. The
profit is $40 or more per ton, and much
more when used to aduItcrate milk butter,
as is largely done by farmers East and w est.
There arc at present nearly twenty licensed
factoriee located 10 the chief cities OF the
United States.
In response to resolution Of inquiry by
tho Legislature Of the State of New York,
the President OF the Bo,rd of Health OF
New York City stated that there is no so nj
tary objection whatever to the unrestricted
manufacture and sale of oleomaresrine
Professors of chemistry in our best col
!eges pronounce fresh a,ill butter and
oleomargarine essentially Identical in color,
flavor, and texture.
Under the microscope you see 10 the
natural an1 artificial butter the same clear
aud beautiful oil globuIes. The American
Institute of the city Of New York awarded
last March, a fmedal OF excellence" The
new product is indorsed by all Of
the members of tho New York
Produce Exchange. Fne judges Of the
international Dairy Fair, held ia New York
City 10 the winter of 1878, though stimu-
lated by challenge of $50, were unable to
select the several exhibits of olcomargarine ne
butter placed in competition with the 6aest
samples of dairy butter.
No wonder that a high value is placed
upon the "Mege discovery" by the mos,
eminent Of European as we'll as America
authorities, and from it will come fortunes
to few and great blessings to the many.

The Star Route Steal.

WASHINGTON, April 21.-The sensa.
tlon Of the day is tho summary removal of
the second assistant postmaeter.g general by
order Of tho President. Various rumors
are afoat affecting Brady's integrity. Itis
even asserted that such discoveries have
been made with reference to the Star routo
contracts that they will load to his prompt
indictment. This question of Star routes
received an overhauIing at the hands of
Congress when deficiency bill for 1000.
600 was put in.
1t appears that Postmaster encrat
james took up tho investigation which the
House committee stopped, and las sue.
ceedcd in obtaining evidence that will
establish beyond question the fraudulent
and corrupt character of the STIR route
management during the past four years,
and which will at tho same time confirm
the suspicion that certain prominent officers
had not only guilty knowledge of tho
methods practiced, but were beneflciaries
of the corruption fund freely used to fur-
ther them.
1t has been said that of the 85,9OO,O 900
regularly appropriated for 1925 Star routes
for tho last fiscal year nearly $4,000, 900
was awarded for service on 93 rontes con.
trollcd by favored contractors, leaving less
than S3,000,000 for tho remaining 9,l32
routes. 1t is believed that at least 50, GOO.
600 was distributed among the Star route
group during the last fiscal year, the gov
ernment, of course, receiving no service
whatever from the amount abstracted.
