JEWETT STOLE THE SECRET
How Our United States Minister
Cheated a Russian Monopoly.

New York Herald: what is known
as Russia leather was manufactured in
a large factory situated in one of the
towns of northern Russia. The owners
possessed some secret about curing the
leather which they jealousy guarded.
England and other countries sent opera
tives to this factory to learn the secret,
but when a man once entered the factory
it was a life Job with him.
Other men were sent there disguised.
but &C carefully was the place watched
that nothing could lie learned, and finally
all attempts at discovering the secret
were abandoned, and the Russians were
allowed to continue their monopoly un
disturbed, although many limitations Of
il were manufactured,
about this time the late Marshall p.
Jewell was minister to Russia from this
country. Mr.. Jewell had been brought
up in the leather business, and was then
the owner OF several tanneries in Con-
pccticut. OF course he had heard Of
this now famous factory, and, more from
curiosity than any desire to learn the
secret of the business, he expressed a
wish to inspect the works.
THE Russian authorities never sus-
~pected that Mr.. Jewell was interested in
the leather business himself, and in his
official capacity the factory owners, who
were aided by the government i'm main
tanning their secret, felt rather compli-
mented that Mr.. Jewell should have ex-
pressed such a desire, and accordingly
MIR. Jewell, as it were. was given the
fred m of the factory
''FOr three days the United States
minister remained in the Russian town
and visited the factory many times. He
was quick TO catch on and he did
catch on SO much 30 that ON his return
