A, Il, Stewards Supe7stitiOn,

Workmen are busy making altera-
tions in the white marble building at
Broadway and Chambers street, which
was once A. T. Stewards downtown
dry goods store, says a New York let
ter. Judge Hilton could not get his
price for it, though he had vainly tried
to sell it to the Herald, and he is hav-
ing it fitted up for offices. With the
interior change other alterations will
come which will blot out the memories
of the shrewd merchant who created a
fortune in its walls. Stewart never
had sign upon the building, but by
spring it will be covered with gilded
lettering. When he first built there
the lessee of the central lot, on which
an old two-story brick structure stood,
refused to sell out except at an eXor-
bitant price, so Stewart reared his
white marble walls on each side of the
dingy edifice and quietly waited until
the lease had expired. The mans trade
was killed in the meantime. | seldom

sitting on its front step the old
wrinkled woman who crouched there

out, with basket of apples by her
side. She never seemed to be less
than ninety years of age, and she paid
10 attention to her sales of fruit.
rCople wondered why Stewart toler-
ate her there, and they little dreamed
that lie allowed her pension. The
merch mt, with all his hard-headed
craft, was very superstitious and be-
Geved that her presence brought him
luck. When he moved to his uptown
store the old woman, with her crutch
and basket, was sent uptown in car
riage, and resumed her watch on the
front steps. One day she was miss
ing, and soon after it was learned that
she had died and had been buried at
Stewards expense. The schoolboys of
that day had a wonderful reverence
for the wrinkled beldame, for they had
been told that she was cross between
a witch and detective and never for
got a face which had crossed the
threshold of the store, though no urchin
had ever seen the color of her eyes,

THE CHARLES A. VOGELER CO.,
The New Partnership in the House of A.
VOReler 81 Co.
baltimore Herald, October IA. |


A most important change in one of the larg-
est enterprises of the city took place yesterday
and inquiry was busy in gathering the facts.
Immediately following the death of Mr..
Charles A. Vogeler, the surviving part
ners of the house, of which he had been
the trade and press, which appeared in the
columns of this paper. 1t made public an
arrangement which in the exigencies of
the moment was deemed necessary, and an
nounced that it was the desire of all concerned
to continue its affairs as they had been pre-
viously conducted.
1t was learned, late last evening, that GER
tain changes affecting the permanent es!ab-
hshment of the business had been resolved
upon, and a reporter of the Herald was dis
patched to the Office of Col. Charles Marshall,
attorney for the estate of the late Charles A.
Vogeler, where it was ascertained that nego-
dations had been concluded, as follows:
That the interests of the surviving part
ners had been purchased by Mr.. Christian
Devries, member of the old and sub
stantial house of William Devries d. Co.,
and president of the National Bank of
Baltimore, and that new firm was
about to be formed under the firm
this name being in honor and perpetuation
of the memory of the late Charles A. Voge-
Ter. 1t was further ascertained that the new
firm will be composed of the widow of the
late Mr.. Nogeler (she retaining her late hus-
bands full interest) Mr.. Christian Deyries,
as executive partner and financial head,
and Mr.. H. ID. Umbstaetter, who, from the
first step in the initial venture of The house
of A. Vogeler g. Co., was the manager of
the advertising department and confidential
adviser of Mr.. Charles A. Vogeler.
By this arrangement it has been fully de-
termined that all the plans and business
purposes of the late Charles A. Voge-
Ter, the founder and executive man
ager of the late firm, shall be developed to
their full fruition, and that the popular
preparations of the house, prominent among
which are st. Jacobs Oil and DR.. August Koe-
nig's Hamburg Family Medicines, shall hold
their high rank under new auspices and the
new management.
There is one feature of this commercial
episode which appeals strongly to the kind
hest feeling and points a touching moral.
Mrs. Vogeler holds her relation in the firm
with wifely courage. Her whole future
is centered in the resolve that the fruits of SO
valuable a life as that of her husbands, which
was freely sacrificed in his zeal for the welfare
of his native city, and that the aims and pro
jects he pursued shall not be permitted to
languish, but shall be revived and strength
ened to its credit and to his honor and fame,
and that she will strive to build for him an
enduring monument in the enterprise OF his
own founding,

Dust in the Air.

There is scarcely a solid, however
compact it may appear, which does not
contain pores, and these pores are filled
with air. 1t is to be found in abun-
dance in the soil; indeed were it not so,
numberless worms and insects which
inhabit the latter would cease TO exist.
The most compact mortar and walls
are penetrated by it, and water in its
natural state contains large quantity
OF air in solution. The atmosphere
was formerly believed to extend no
higher than five miles above the
earth's surface, but meteorological
observations have since shown that it
extends to height of more than 200
miles. Owing to the force of gravity
the air is much denser near the
earth, and gets thinner, layer by
layer, as you ascend, If then the
atmosphere were possessed of color,
it would be very dark just round
the globe, and the tint would grad
ually fade into space. There is
no absolutely normal composition of
the air we breathe, or, if there be, it
is not at present known. 1t contains,
however, in all cases, unless under
purely artificial conditions, two essen
tial elements, which are nearly invari-
able under nominal circumstances.
namely oxygen and nitrogen, and two
accessory elements which vary ex-
tremely in amount, but are practically
never absent, namely, carbonic acid
and water. Without either of the
first two air could not exist. and with
out the last two air is scarcely found
in nature. Their combination, more
over, is not chemical union but q
simple mechanical mixture. But
beside these constituents the air con-
tains an immense amount of life, and
small particles derived from the whole
creation. In the air may be found ami
malcules, spores, seeds, cells of all
kinds, eggs of insects, fungi, and ele-
ments Of contagion, besides formless
dust, and sandy and other particles of
local origin. For example, no one can
travel in a railway carriage without
being surrounded by dust, large por-
tion of which may be attracted by
magnet, consisting, as it does, in great
measure, of minute particles of iron
derived from the rails. The purest air
has some dust in it. There probably
never fell beam of light from the sun
since the world was made which would
not have shown countless numbers of
solid particles.-Good Words.

Loss of Confidence.

A Shepherd was eating his dinner
beside Spring when Wolf walked
out of the Forest and coolly in
quired
"Well, how is the Wool and Mutton
business?"
Pretty fair" replied the astonished
Shepherd.
"I have come to tell you" con-
tinued the Wolf, "that the Hyenas
have formed a plot to break into your
Sheepfold tonight, and to offer my
services as Private Watchman."
"You are ever so kind to give me
this warning"
"And you just leave the gate open
and go to bed feeling perfectly safe.
The first Hyena who comes fooling
around your Mutton will find his heels
breaking his neck"
After some further conversation il
was agreed that the gate should be left
open and that the Wolf should stand
guard.
Darkness was scarcely an hour old
when a great outcry was heard at the
Fold and the Shepherd ran out and dis
covered the Wolf in a Trap he had set
within the Pen.
Is this the kind of confidence you
had in me?" howled the Wolf as he
struggled to get free.
