large stores with d mechanical system
to DO used instead Of cash boys In send,
Ing money and bundles from tho clerks
counters TO the cashier. The company
has, by buying out rival companies, be-
come u gigantic monopoly. The last
concern bought out was the United
Store Service Company, OF Albany, for
which Mr.. Adams was general canYasser.
Tho contract with him was assumed by
the Lamsen Company, but they reiusedto
keep it. Mr.. Adams secured judgment
against them, but compromised upon
their agreeing to continue him IN his
position. They sent him to Helena,
Mon, on a wild goose chase, and when
he returned he was sent to Boston, and
there arrested on a trumpcd up charge.
He was h%onOrably discharged by the
Judge, a son Of Oliver Wendell Holmes,

are that he will win. Several heavy
