THE RUBBER TRUST.
Formation of the Great Combine Mat
ter OF Only Few Days.

Formation oil the Great OomDlne u hadt-
ter OF Only Few Days.
New YoRK, Feb. THE formation OF
the great proposed rubber trust is now a
question OF oniy-a few days. The COM
mittec appointed toscttlc the differences
between Christopher Meyer and Others re-
carding the New; Jersey manufacturers
has effoeteda compromise and will pro-
pose a plan Of organization at meeting to
be held within two or three days. By this
plan all manufacturers OF rubber goods
who wish TO join the trust will pool their
own stock and turn IL over to the central
company in exchange for certified shares
OF the trust in proportionate value. Those
concerns that can manufacture rubber
goods at the lowest rates will be continued
in operation, while the others will shut
down. These different factories kept in
opcation will make different grades OF
goods, with the result OF making more
goods with less labor and a much smaller
cost. Instead Of and 0per cent. profit,
as at present, the firms interested will then
be able to realize over 10 per cent. profit
annually. ~
The formation OF this trust will have
three great results. The profits for the
consumers viii become higher and several
thousand workmen will be thrown out oil
employment without any other resources
TO fall back upon. The combine involves
a working capital OF $50, 900, 900, and an
annual trade OF $l00,000,000

Ii has Just been eight weeks since the
frat case Of yellow fever was announced
in Jacksonville, and nearly seven long
and gloomy weeks since the epidemic and
exodus Of our citizsns began A retrospect
of this sad period of calamity, ruin,
danger and alarm appears like horrible
nightmare, relieved OF its terrors only by
the heroic mien and deeds Of our people,
the many evidences of substantial sym.
pathy OF our fellow citizens throughout
the country, and, more potent than all,
by the sustaining power Of gracious
heavenly father, who has made His
loving kincness felt even in our
darkest hours of sffl elton. During
the past seven weeks how many
bravo hearts have ceased to beat /!
How many noble and lovely forms have
been laid low in DEATH How many
happy homes have been blighted with the
shadows of sorrow and anguish that no
earthly power can dissipste, or blotted
out altogether! There are scores of
vacant chairs, thousands OF grief-strieken
souls There has been untold suffering
and despair that even the lavish CHARITY
Of go GOO, 900 Of people could not antici.
ktstu HLlt4 pESNtlb VI TEn6TH :
and even nov many hundreds OF people
lie upon beds Of sickness, rRcked with ex.
cruciating pains or burning with the re-
morseiess enemy that holds them in its
grsap. Now let Us not brood over the
past, but act in the present and look
hopefully to the futuEe. LIST us de.
vote ourselves TO the relief Of the
suffering, Numbering to the sick,
tho consollrg and chsering of
the afflicted aud down. hearted, the com.
fort OF the dying, and the last ssd rites
of tho beloved dead. Let us tlust that
the worst is over with and that the bow
Of promise already begins TO illuunine
Our melancholy horizon. While we pass
through the dark valley OF the shadows
we believe that it is now not far TO the
othsr sids where the hlesaed sunlight Of
thankful joy and prep rity will burst
anew upon w. There will be teupion
Of thousands Of family circles now broken
aud scattered; the ham OF busy life will
again be heard; the wedding bsls will
ring cut joyfully again, aud even the
dread sptctsf OF pestilenee aud death will
be surrounded by a halo OF sad but sweet
ard Withai proud memories o. the deeds

Of this 2oui.tryinp period.
May God ia His Infinite mercy grant
that the plague will soon be turned away
from ous doors never sgain to return.

Fearful Results OF Want OF Food
Among Indians,

Among Indians,
WnSIPra, MAN, Sept. 2e.-A terrible tale
OF starvation and destitution among tha
Indians comes from fhe Athabasoa ard
Peace Rivera country. II eomea Ia the form
OF q petition TO the minister OF the interior
for Canada and It Is signed by the Anglican
bishop for that diocese, elk olerRymen and
missionaries and several justices OF the
peace. 1t sets out that owing to the great
mortality OF the beavers and other small
game, the Indians both last winter and this
summer have heen In continual state OF
starvation. They are now In a complete
state OF restitution and are unable 10 pro-
vide themselves with clothing, ammunition
or food for winter.
The petition says that on account OF the
starvation and consequent eannibalism, a
party Of 90 Gree Indlsns was reduced to
three In the wintsS OF 1885. In the Mac
kep2le river dlsttias there were several
cases OF death by starvation and one
or more Of caunabalism. During
last winter among the Fort Chippewian
Indians between 20 and 80 starved
to deiths and the death OF others was nc.
celebrated By want OF food. Many Indiabs,
0rees, Beavers and Ohippewlans, at almost
all points where there are missions or trad.
ing poets, would certainly have starved TO
death but Tor the help given by the traders
and missionaries at these places. Scores Of
families, having lest their heads by starva.
ton, ARE now perfectly helpless and must
starve to death or eat one another unless
help comes.
