The above calculations bring ut the cost
of working at two shillihgs and FIVE pence
farthing per Thousand leaves add to this
proportionately other current expenses on
plantation and we shall have, the expenses at
about three shilliLgs.
The price of the fibre in the New York
market is Al cents per lb. and the duty fifteen
dollars per ton. The freight added to working
expenses and deducted will show up exactly
the profit to be realised. The larger the plan
tation the less the expenses would be per
thousand leaves, giving more profit, as it
could cost much the same for certain work
as it does on a smaller. For the work of
hanging out and attending to fibre on drying
stand little boys suit admirably, in this way
lessening the expenses.
A labourer can cut, make in bundles, and
put at intervals 800 leaves at least per
day.

One of the Petrole Fuel Company
Wants to Restrain the Directors.

Samuel Wallace, one of the directors
and the treasurer of the Minnesota
Compressed Petrole Fuel company, has
brought an action against that company
and the stockholders to secure an In
junction and several other things. He
alleges that Max Nirdlinger. the vice
president of the company, and also the
representative of the Fuel Patents COM
pany, of New jersey, pretends to have
claim of $4,000 against the Petrole
Fuel company, which he will reduce to
$3.50 on condition that all the rights OF
the Petrote Fuel company in Hennepin
county be turned over to the Fuel Pat
ents company. The directors of the
Petrole Fuel company accepted this
z, passed resolution transferring
to the Patents Fuel company all of the
rights of the Petrole in Ramsey county.
VOLTAGE alleges that this claim of Nird-
linger's is not just one and that the
transfer of the PetrOle Fuel company's
Ramsey county rights to the Fuel
Patents company is without any consid-
Grafton whatever. He claims that this
is merely scheme to wreck the PetrOle
Fuel company, and asks that the officers
of the PetrOle Fuel company be enjOined
from making the transfer to the Fuel
Patents company; that receiver be APP
pointed to take charge of the property
of the Petrole company; that Max Nird-
linger, w. }. MarSon and w. d. Mathis.
who have been the prime movers for
the transfer, be removed from their po-
sititions as directors, and that the affairs
of the company be wound up and the
assets sold under the order of the court.
A temporary injunction has been
granted.

PHASES OF LIFE.

There is an old man who is seen about
the court house almost every day, when
the judges are all busy. whom no one
seems to know; yet he is known by
sight to every habitue of the court
house. What he comes for no one
knows, but he can be seen every day.
He is not extensively but always
Clearly dressed, and his white Gal
Ways'' are always carefully trimmed
and combed. He wanders from one
courtroom to another, as fancy seems to
take him. and always occupies seat
we'll to the front of the space allotted
to spectators. He pays the closest
attention to the questioning of the
witnesses and to the arguments of the
lawyers and whenever all attorney
makes a particularly good point he
leans back in his chair and allows a sat-
iShed smile to play over his expressive
and good-natured features. This watch
ing of law suits seems to be his whole
delight. Some people have suggested
that he is man who once possessed a
good deal of property, which he lost in
an expensive litigation, since which
time he has wandered about the court
rooms. feeding upon the legal troubles
of others. AS nearly as can be learned,
he lives with daughter in Minneapo-
lis, and is just slightly insane, his mania
taking this mild form.

Indigestion

is not only a distressing complaint, of
itself, but, by causing the blood to
become depraved and the system en-
feebled, is the parent of innumerable
maladies. That Ayers SarsapariIla
is the best cure for Indigestion, even
when complicated with Liver Complaint,
is proved by the following testimony.
from Mrs. Joseph Lake, of Brockway
Centre, Mich.:- >
oliver complaint and indigestion
made my life burden and came near,
ending my existence. For more than
four years I suffered untold agony, was.
reduced almost to a skeleton, and hardly
had strength to drag myself about. All
kinds of food distressed me, and only
the most delicate could be digested at
all. Within the time mentioned several
physicians treated me without giving re-
lief. Nothing that took seemed to do
any permanent good until 1 commenced
the use of Ayers Sarsaparilla, which
has produced wonderful results. Soon
after commencing to take the Sarsapa-
rilla could see an improvement in my
condition. My appetite began to return
and with it came the ability to digest
all the food taken, my strength i'm
proved each day, and after a few
months of faithful attention to your
directions, I found myself a we'll
woman, able to attend to all household
duties. The medicine has given me a
new lease of life."

City Physician Chase Thanked
in the Name of Science.


AS far as the supervisors of the poor
are concerned in the matter, DR.. Chase,
the city physician, was freed from all
blame in the matter of indiscriminate
autopsys held upon the patients who
died under his care in the city hospital.
At the meeting of the supervisors of the
poor yesterday Aid. Phillips and Gray,
who brought the matter up at the pre-
vious meeting of the board, were alb
sent, being confined to their beds by
sickness; but their colleagues apparent

importance to postpone whitewash to
await the appearance of the men who
had the nerve to stand up and ask the
investigation the public demanded.
When the matter was called up, Supt.
Snyder submitted the following COM
munication from the city attorney.
While Mr.. Russell said that in his opin-
ion the supervisors of the poor had no
control of the city physician, he had
this to say in regard to the wholesale
dlssections or post-mortems which have
been held since City Physician Chase
assumed the management of the city

Word has been received by the seed

rests, will state that every Applicant on

proper form has been passed upon, and

companies have also been very prompt
in forwarding these acquisitions to their
local agents, with instructions to de-
liver the seed at once. The local CON-
mittees have in several counties been
Idilatory in getting in their reports, or
have sent them in without the necessary

"WOMAN'S TRIUMPHS."

Sermon last NiUht

Rabbi Samuel Marks Passover
Sermon Last Night.
Last night at the Synagogue, Tenth
street and Fifth avenue south, Rabbi
Samuel Marks preached on "Woman's
Triumphs," in commemoration of the
Passover.
81 shall not attempt" said the
speaker, ito glorlfy the Hebrew woman
at the expense of her sister of other
faiths. The saying, woman is the
women of all peoples. Nor does the
woman of the Hebrew race need
further praise at the hands of the
world.
"This day commentaries the final
rescue of the children of Israel from
the Red sea and we are told
that the redemption was on ao-
count of the Hebrew women
From those remote times to these, woman
has been the redeeming power in the
history of man. In the time of danger,
her strength asserts itself and she
stands forth as observation-disclosures"
The speaker here cited several eX-
amples from ancient and modern his
tory to prove that they have always
been first in deeds of heroism, and
spoke of the work of American women
during the late rebellion. He believed
that the women of the present are fully
up to those of ancient times. He then
went on:
"Women have always been laborers
in the field of wisdom. Moses owed
much of his knowledge to his mother.
as did Joseph. King David undoubt-
ecly inherited good deal of his poetry
e. Sn1np,nr nvhiN
tied many characteristics of his mother
1t is the same with men of more recent
times, including Socrates, Caesar and
Humboldt.
"Women contributed much to
the building of the tabernacle
in the wilderness. 1t is related
that the Hebrew women offered
their brass mirrors for the construction
of the sacred basins. As promoters and
promulgators of religion they have been
no less noble than the men. In storm
and in sunshine their devotion is sweet
to behold. In church work they are
more active and cooperative than men;
at divine service they are more regular
But for the women there would be
little left of the congregations of this
country. Whenever churches are on
the decline you may be sure that women
have not been called into the service.
1.-THE most important part played by
woman has been as an inspirer, and
whenever you find anything good in
man, you may be certain that wo-
man has been the handspring in his
elevation. In every phase of life
she has been the inspiration. She has
been the motive power, not only in
great wars, from those of the Greeks
and Trojans to those of more recent
and the more peaceful walks of life"
