SPSsJ ~ hhN
NV York, Februay0.-A private meet.
ing Of the rubber manufacturers was held
ut the Astor House, yesterday. ut which
were present fifteen representatives Of the
leading rubber companies. Tie convention
discussed the question Of the advisabiIity Of
forming consolidated rubber manulac.
turing company, to include all the best
manufacturing companies in the country,
and, after discussing the subject in all It's
points, decided to leave the matter to COM
mitteeof six manufacturers, who will make
u report ut the next meeting. In accord
ance with the agreement made last month,
number oil the companies close their
factories tomorrow, and will throw at least
5000 persons out Of employment.
The reason for this action is the high
price Of crude rubber, which lnanuiac,Ir.
ers claim is due to the operations Of cliques
working toward speculative ends. The
manufacturers would be willing to pay the
advanced price Of crude rubber II they
could get correspondingly advanced tigD
ures for their goods.

operations show that he had fair appre

fiDt step was to get in line with clergymen
and sec,arian newspaper Of circulation
and influence. After that he had plain
sailing. When he drew in pastor he was
certain TO draw in some oi tho flock, and
when he got the editor Of the Chriaidn
.Adrosaie to whiting rs he wanted him to
write, he had his hands already in the
pockets Of some Of the readers
OF that paper. 1t is the habit
OF the sectarian press to weep over the
sins Of the secular press, which makes NO
pretense oi being in existance for mere
loyc Of human kind. Now and then the
cover is lifted, the electric light thrown In
and the world sees the Sectarian news
paper piously pushing a swindle. Beyond
doubt there are secular newspapers eyei

NEW YoRE, February 9.-An observer
OF the weather sat in a snug office on the
roof Of the Equitable Building this morn

into the clear blue sky. Presently he
raised his head and said in cutting tones,
"Wiggins is left. The storm he predicted
for to-day will not be here" Again he
gazed out into the blue sky and became
lost in thought. The reporter who had
been copying weather report, said; Isn't
his prediction coming true?'
well, no, it isn't" sAid tho observer;

may not. fyou don't this year, You may
next, and SO on. That was Veunor's idea.
But Virgins is Il bit too precise. lie lays
himself open to error. For instance he has
staked his reputation on an awful storm
which is TO strike us to day. That storm,
according to Virgins, was TO devas.

"Well there are two ways for that storm to
