cAIPT MhkERS FALL

NEW YORK, April "a complete sur
prise was occasioned among the merchants
engaged in the shirt trade this afternoon
by the announcement of the failure of
Downs & Finch, shirt manufacturers at
43 and 45 Leonard street, having three
large factories. The firm was regarded as
the leading IN the manufacture of fancy
shirts in the United States, and was COM
posed of Daniel H. Downs and Cornelius
N. Finch. general partners, and O. Henry
Rothschild and Isidore Drefus as special
partners. The general partners made a
Cener ! assignment, without preferences,
to Theodore f. Mill, lawyer, at 229 Broad
way.
Messrs Rothschild and Drefus, who
compose the firm of o. Henry Rothschild
x Co., shirt manufacturers, at Is Leonard
street, say that this firm is by no means
affected by the failure OF Downs x Finch.
Mr.. Rothschild said this afternoon that
the failure was a surprise to him and he
knew nothing as TO what the cause was
AT the Office of the firm no person could be
found 20 give the slightest information of
the cause OF the failure. The general IN
Outstanding was, however, that the firms
endeayors to control the trade had in
creased expenses while the profits Gimin-
ished and low prices prevailed. Besides.
Mr.. Finch's health has been poor and he
had Just returned from trip in the east.
Assignee Miller was at the firms store
and gave what information he could 10
creditors. He bad been suddenly called
upon the assigneeship and learned from
Mr.. Downs that the liabilities were be-
tween 500 600 and 500, 900, and that the
assets judiciously handled would exceed
liabilities The assets consist of the three
large factories aud an immense stock on
hand, material, machinery and bills and
accounts receivable. Bradstreet's reports
state that the business was established
many years ago as Downs, Courlay &
Finch, at Jamesburg, y. j., and about
seventeen years ago was succeeded by
Downs & Finch. Mr.. Downs was financial
manager. and Mr.. Finch looked after the
mauuf acturing part OF the business. They
first manufactured cheap grade of goods
and drove out the smaller concerns. On
August II, 1856, they formed a limited
partnership to run five years with Messrs
Rothschild and Drefus for $1,000 The
latter turned over to the firm its fancy
shirt department. In September last
Downs s. Finch claimed their capital
stock was $500, 600, including the special
capital, and that during the proceeding
year they had added at least so, 600 TO their
capital from profits.

Stomach Distilled with Acids.

These if existent in natural quantity,
and unlimited by bile, play their part in
the functions of digestion and asslmila-
ton. But the artificial acid resulting
from the inability of the stomach to con-
vert food received by it into sustenance, is
the producer of fiatulence and heartburn.
which are the most harassing symptoms
of dyspepsia. The best carminative is
effective is it than carbonate CT soda, mag
nesia or other alkaline salts. These in
variably weaken the stomach without pro-
ducing permanent benefit. No man or
woman chemically dyspeptic, and conse-
quently nervous, can be in possession of
the full measure OF vigor allowed by
nature. Therefore, invigorate and regu-
late the system, and by SO doing protect it
from malaria, rheumatism and other
serious maladies

CIVIL SERVICE
Ex-Secretary Endicott Thinks It VIII
Soon be Necessity.

WASHINGTON, April s. Ex-Secretary
Endicott, in company with his successor
| Secretary Proctor, called on the president
this afternoon for few minutes. He at
forwards talked quite freely with Star
reporter. He said he felt relieved at being
once more private citizen and added: Il
feel as any hard working man would nat
urally feel when bis load had been lifted
or his task taken away from him. The
president does not seem to be looking very
we'll; he evidently needs rest. l had not
seen him since the morning Of the 4th OF
March and he has the appearance of man
who is thoroughly tired; he necessarily
must be so. The American people put too
much strain on it's president. The work
ought to be delegated and the time
is near at hand when it will have
to be. Our great need is a
more extended civil service. This is the
only government where Their is scramble
for office-undignitied, unpatriotic-and
until the tenure is made secure and the
places are filled with good men, the presi-
dent will be overburdened. Look at Eng
land. There is a free government, and
there the men who desire to enter the en-
ploy of the government are tested thor
oughly, and. if found competent, are offer
ed every inducement torstay in the service.
Within the lifetime of the generation now
being born there will be in this country an
army of officials 100000 strong. Then the
civil service will be necessity, and then
the president will have to be relieved OF
the drudgery of appointments by heads of
departments and bureaus, because no one
man will be able to do the work. The re-
form would commence too soon II It were
put into operation at once"
