From The 4 mcrjcan Grocer.

The old saying that ''wonders never
cease" finds an illustration today in
trade, and some of the trade happenings
nowadays are so astonishing that we can
not forbear comment. Most of these are
due to steam and its twin genii, electric.
ity. An Illustration was found In a re-
cent instance where to relieve the over
stocked California syrup market ship
ment was made by sailing vessel from
San Francisco to New York. When the
vessel arrived here the New York market
was so low that a portion OF the same
syrup was resblpped by rail TO California
and sold there at profit. "Sending Goals
to Newcastle" is discounted every day.
Peaches are now shipped from the
Pacific coast to New York by rail, thus
anticipating Eastern growtbs. During
the past winter eggs were imported from
Liverpool, and cabbages from Holland
and Germany, while potatoes from
famine stricken Ireland are not uncom.
mon in this market. Whenever the least
scarcity prevails in any market the news
is flashed to the point of supply-under
the ocean and around the world
even--and steam hurries supplies
wherever demand prevails. Steam
and electricity have become the
great Jewelers. of values, not only in CON-
mOdities, but in the value OF the land
which supplies those commodities. The
land question in Great Britain and Ire
land began when steam was harnessed
and laid down the products OF our fertile
farms alongside OF those less favored in
the British Isles. The wonders wrought
by the locomotive crowd SO fast upon us
that they seem more like romance than
reality. Twenty years ago Minnesota
and California imported their breadstutfs.
To-day they export more wheat than any
other two States In the Union.
Florida sends us green corn on the ear
IN May, and our strawberry season lasts
nearly the year round, Florida beginning
the supply in January, and Canads and
Manitoba finish up in October. OF course
the principal markets chiefly profit by
these wonders in transportation and the
conVeniences and luXuries there found
constantly tend to concentrate population
in vast masses and make the few
great cities the trade entrepots of
the world. Here capital also accumu-
iates; surplus stocks of merchandise are
everywhere consigned to the great GEN.
tres, advanced upon by their capital, and
there held awaiting purchasers. The
volume OF goods thus accumulated makes
these centres the great bargain marts,
and goods are constantly being thrown
upon the market by forced sale at ii CURES
which in themselves are one of the trade
wonders above mentioned,

CRowDING STEAMBOATS,.
What it Costs to Make Fast Time.

From the Chicago Tribune.
Can't. Butltn, President of the Goodrich
Transportation Company,probably knows
as much about steamboat as any man
living. His experience dates back more
than a half century, and it Is said OF MIN
that il he were cast away on an island
where there were timber and iron he
could, with the aid of few sayages,
build a steamboat that would be ut to
make a trip around the world. Yester-
day he was speaking of the great speed In
steamboats,. Some one remarked that
he could not understand why pas
senger boats could not be built
on the lakes that would run twenty miles
an hour. Capt. Butlin replied that 1t
was an easy matter to build such boats,
but the difficulty was in finding any SEN
sible business man who was willing to
squander his money on them. After many
years Of practical experience in steam
boating, the Captain said, he had learned
the most profitable boats TO their owners
were those that ran at moderate rate OF
speed. Fifteen miles an hour was about
the limit for passenger boat. Every adj
ditional mile the boat was crowded less
ened her value as money ma
ker. Then he related his eXpe-
rence with the sldewheel steamer City OF
Milwaukee. This boat was built for the
600. She is the finest passenger steamer
on the lakes, and was designed expressly
for the Milwaukee and Grant Haven
route, running in connection with the
Detroit, Grand Haven and Milwaukee
railroad. The railroad company wanted
the steamer to make fast time, as
it would advertise their road. Ac-
cordingly the boat was crowded to
her utmost limit, and they succeed
ed in squeezing eighteen miles an
hour out of her. In order to get this
speed it was necessary to employ eight
tremen and four slab-passers, all of
whom were kept steadily at work feeding
the fires. Each round trip, distance OF
l66 miles, the steamer consumed seventy
three cords of slabs. AS an experiment
the speed was cut down to sixteen mil 2,
an hour. This reduced the consumption
of fuel to forty-twO cords of slabs, proving
that AZ per cent. OF the cost of making
steam Was expended in the extra two
miles per hour.

When the store was opened in the morning

been robbed, and an examination was at
once made, but nothing there had been
disturbed. Not cover mad been removed
from counter. and all OF the stock was
apparently undisturbed. The only thing
missing was the change that had been
left in the drawer overnight.

The Nashville Union, which is one OF
the best base ball papers in the country,
contains the following good advice: Every
Team IN the Southern League lost money
on experimental pitchers this year. Bar
ring Chamberlain and Wells, they nave all
proved failures. VIEWING OF Charleston
and Smith of Nashville were the most
promising, and both OF them are now nurs-
ing arms that are probably permanently
injured. The league should take warning
from this experience and abolish the
training school idea next year.
The Nashville Union says: 1.-The Sa-
Vannah team, it seems, has been dealing
very unjustly with Whitock. He appears
TO be hlgh-toned. conscientious gentle
man, of unimpeacnable character and
standing" The savannah management
has no fault to find with Mr.. Whitlock as
an umpire, never having PLAYED game
under him. The directors believe MN, so
far IS they know, TO be a square and hon
orable man. Their only objection to his
appointment at the time be was named by
PRESIDENT PrOudft was that he was an
Atlanta man, and would virtually have
been local umpire.

GAVE HERSELF AWAY.
The Way Jane Holmes Tongue Got
Its Owner in Trouble.

Jane Holmes never fully appreciated
the wisdom OF the proyerb which says
silence is golden until yesterday. Jane is
very cOlored, almost as dark in fact as
the ways OF the heather Chinee or the
Atlanta base ball club.
Two weeks ago, in moment of great
excitement, she assaulted and battered
one Clara McNeal. The latter FASTENED
to Magistrate Waring Russell, Jr., and
had her assailant arrested. Jane was for
tunate enOug> to obtain bond and she was
liberated. Yesterday, though, she con
cluded that she would not put the county
TO any expense on her account and she
prepared to jump her bail. While she
was slipping her clothes out Of the house
where she lived she told some children
that she was going away. One OF the
children that heard the remark told its
mother, who was on James bond. An
officer was at once sent for and the would
lie fugitive was delivered into custody
again and now she is 10 jail.

The delay OF Capt. Lamar and Capt.
Wheaton TO take charge OF their offices is
due TO the return of both bonds because
OF certain iaformalities. Capt. Wheaton,
In preparing his bond, failed TO insert a
date where one should have appeared.
When the omission was discovered at the
Treasury Department the document was
returned, thus delaying his entry into
office at least week. Postmaster Lamar
neglected to sign the oath contained and
his bond was practically worthless until
bis signature was inserted. Department
officials state that similar mistakes and
omissions are of frequent occurrence.

A Valuable Remedy,

Brandreth's Pills have been used by
millions of suman beings. Their success
is founded upon the theory of reason, and
an attentive observation of symptoms of

digestion cures disease. Brandreth's Pills
make good digestion, purify the blood, aud
remove all bad humors out of the body by
the organs of the stomach and bowels.
They act in harmony with vital action
and work OF nutrition; the strength in
