New York Ice Men Say There Is No
Danger Of a Corner.

bulk of the ice crop of this state to form
pool in that commodity and reap rich har-
vest out of the public, rich and poor alike.

price. The despatch says: "AmoDg the
men who would form this trust are said to
be Charlesl Morse of No. so Broad st., New
York; F. II. Clergue of Bangor. j. Manc2 es-
ter Haynes of Augusta, Charles Jones of
Hallowell, and Mr.. Berry Of Gardiner" 1t

Knickerbocker and other large companies
in Augusta are limited and that the Maine
corner will effect them quickly and serious

Knickerbocker Company has said that his
company only had ice enough to last until
August 1, and it was predicted that the price
of ice would soar skyward after the first Of

These little puffy

They are round and

there are other shapes that
can be devised they will be

be silk or cotton or satin,
brocade or leather or the
simplest muslin. 1t may
be deliberately embroid-

best covering is linen, as
it will stand hard wear and
repeated laundering.
And then there's such
an overwhelming variety
of colors and combinations
that pillows and cushions
can be made in. Our
