Learning a Trade.


Referring To the Inauguration OF &
class in the science ofplumbing, under
the auspices of the Metropolitan Muse
UNI of Art, in New York, a correspond
mt of the Philadelphia Record says
IF this will diminish the number of
Young men whose highest ambition
seems to be to stand behind the counter
and wear good clothes, it will be n pup
lie benefaction. There is great deal
of money in trades and very little in
counter jumping, and yet only one man
in a hundred is willing To blacken his
hands with tools. 1t is not only the
boy $ fault, however. A gentleman OF
my acquaintance, who is a broker in
Exchange Place, said To me recently:
Il ought to have been a machinist;
would have been rich by this time. When
/ was boy wanted to go iato the Al
laire Works, but my father was afraid
it would soil my hands. lie wanted me
to be a gentleman. The result is that j
have never liked my business, and new
er made more than a living at it. Had
he let me go in rs an apprentice i'll the
machinist trade, | would have been
building engines and coming money by
this time, and any whole heart would
have been in it." The fathers of to-day
in New York are the same. They would
almost as soon bury their sons as TO
make them apprentices. The result is
a race of mediocre clerks and bookkeep-
ers. who find their intellectual level in
the flash newspapers of the day"

SOUTHERN STRAWBERRIES.

Bringing strawberries by rail from
Charleston, S. c.. to Chicago is a novelty,
but it win not long remain SO. To-day a
tiffany car containing 10000 quarts ar
rived from Charleston by way of Cincin-
natl, the car having left there April 90.
Although nine days on the road, the ber-
ries are just as fresh as when they were
picked This is accounted for by the
fact that the journey was made in Tiff
fanny refrigerator Car, which preserved
not only the freshness, but also the flavor
of the fruit. Heretofore strawberries
from Charleston to Chicago were taken
by sea to New York, and thence by rail
to Chicago, involving sea voyage which
could not have very good effect on the
fruit, and also reshipment at New York
This enterprise has been started by the
Austell company, of Atlanta, Ga, and
there can be no doubt that it will prove
successful and profitable.

CONSOLIDATED COMPANIES.
The United States And Pacific Express
Under One Management.

The st. Louis Republican of the I'd
says: For a period of over three weeks it
has been reported that negotiations were
in progress tending towards the consoli-
dalton of the United States and the Pa
cifle Express companies. These two
companies are well known throughout
the entire country and much interest was
manifested in the reports of the negotia-
tons while, as general thing, the rnmor
of intended consolidation was not
credited Negotiations have been going
| on for some time, but the mat
ter was kept secret. Iester
| day the last steps were taken aud the re-
| suit is that the two companies are merged
| into one. and win hereafter do business
as one company From gentleman con-
neeted with the Pacific Express company
it was learned that Mr. e. NJ Morsman,
general manager of the Pacific Express
company. and G. Coin, general manager
Of the United States Express company
had conference at the office of the for
mer company yesterday forenoon. their
deliberations lasting over an hour. The
result of the conference it is stated, WAC
that the United States company was
bought out The amount of money
which changed ownership during the de-
alterations was not definitely stated but
the gentleman giving the Information
vouches for the truth of the
statement that the. consolidation is a
solid fact From to-day the Pacific,
United States and Ohio and Mississippi
express companies are one and the same,
and Mr.. Joseph Temple will be the agent
for all the companies. Properly speak
ing the United.states- company is not ex
tinguished, thu Pacific company having
only obtained the controlling interest in
it. The United States company, will drop
out of the new arrangement. Other than
these few changes viii be made A ma
jority of the employees of both companies
viii be retained in their positions. Mr..
L. A. Fuller, the general superintendent
of the pacific company, will now have
the superintendency of all three good
companies throughout Missouri, Illinois,
Indian territory, Texas, New Mexico,
Arizona, Indiana, Ohio, Iowa and Michi-
gan, the territory covered being in all
about 10000 miles Mr. Val Rose win
be the assistant agent of the joint com
pany, to whom all claims must in future
be made. The transfer of the local
property will be made to-day. The
transfer will not interfere in the least
with the transaction of the business, and
things will run on just as smoothly as
ever. For some reason or other the high
officials of the company prefer to keep
the consolidation secret for some time,
and it is owing to INSTRUMENTATION on
their part that further information con-
corning such large transaction was not
obtainable yesterday evening.

was due the company by the city for the
use of their light. The bond was receiy-
