The Astonishing Proportions AsAuitied by =
Somewhat Unsavory business.
When asked about his business In
foreign rags, one Of the oldestand most
experienced rag and paper stock deal
ers said that large quantities Of rags
from Egypt and Turkey came to this
country to the paper mills in the East
and West, but the greater proportion
of the receipts of foreign rags is con-
sumed in the East Careful estimates
of the present annual consumption of
vag stock in the United States place the
amount at 100000 bales, valued at
about $40, coo, 900. The arrivals of for
eign rags at New York City are esti-
mated at 100000 bales annually, in or
dinary times, aud those of domestic
stocA ~ 100000 bales. Two-thirds
of the rags shipped out Of Boston and
New York 60 to the paper mills of
Maine, Massachusetts,, New York,
Ohio, Illinois and Wisconsin, and the
great bulk OF this to Western Massa-
chusetts and New York. The valley
of tho Miami in Ohio is a great paper
center. There were manufactured the
last year 90, 0,726, ,309 pounds Of paper OF
all kinds. The immense growth of the
newspapers alone has given a tremen-
dous Impetus to the industry, and Mas
sachusetts has the largest paper city in
the world. About 100000 tons Of rags
are annually consumed in paper maxi
ing in this country, of which $4,000
tons are imported. "The danger OF
the introduction of cholera and small
pox through apparently healthy indi-
yiduals-a danger which can not be
guarded against--is far greater than
that of transmitting the disease by
rags" said our informant All the
woolen rags and butter grade of cotton
rags go TO the East-mostly to supply
the fine paper mills and shoddy mills
of Massachusetts,, New Hampshire
Rhode Island and Pennsylvania.-N

excitement over the attempted robbery
Of the Californian. Almost every man
began 10 disirust his neighbor, and the

from nowhere, and could be traced

smiled assuringly, as was his habit. and
told thom 10 not have the least Bit Of

ED. FREEMAN

This despot, King Alcohol, has
been strongly entrenched behind
his Bacchanalidn breast-works in
Milton for several years. He has
gone on in his own way with but
little opposition, until the strong
arm of the law was of but little
force; and Goliah-like, he cham.
pioned his dark form in the very
midst of our people, with all the
defiance of "a demon. But the peo-
pie who love law and order, began
to enquire, and few days before
our city election, January 7th, be-
gan to ask, one of another, as
there not oause?" This inquiry
led to right thinking, and to right
uoting. So on the day of election,
one saloon keeper, who is still in
the business, walked up to the
polls and deposited a clean vote for
Prohibition in Milton. This open
ed the way and quite a number of

Informed, this is perhaps the first
election in the history Of the

as they were accustomed to pray.
For some time the w. c. /. u.
