COMBINING IN THEIR INTERESTS.
Harness Manufacturers Object TO Wholi
.ol.r. a. Thair Cusfomera.

Harness Manufacturers Object TO Whole-
snIers Selling TO Their Customers.
Thirty-fve harAess manufacturers of AL
legheny county, assembled at the Central
Hotel last evening to discuss measures for
the formation of a branch of the National
Harness Protective Manufacturers Asso-
citation. The latter national body has
branches in every city Of consequence out
side of this. The object of the association
as set forth in circular is:
To unite fraternally all retail harness manu-
facturers and dealers in the United States, for
their mutual protection from the unjust sale
of goods by VIII olesalers to improper parties, to
the injury of such harness manufacturers and
to work for the general advancement OF the re-
tail harness dealers of this. country by giving
them the trade that rightfully belongs to them.
Harness makers throughout the country are
urged to form local associations. and where
there are not enough to form an association,
to Join the National Association individually.
1t is claimed by the harness dealers that
the wholesale houses, not content with SELL
ing to them, also sell to the customers of the
retailers and so injure their trade. The
Protective Association issues cards to men,
bers of its body and harness dealers, to pro-
tect themselves, buy only from houses hold
ing such cards. Local dealers and makers
are taking steps to join the National Asso-
citation to obtain its protection against whole
salers to sell beyond their legitimate trade.
Nothing beyond temporary organization
was effected last night, when the following
temporary officers were elected: E. Frey,
Liberty street, President; J. T. Capel, Sixth
avenue, Vice President; James Dewey,
Allegheny, Recording Secretary; A. W.
Stewart, Penn avenue, Corresponding Sec
retary; f. Krone, T. Broderick, h. Rec
tanus and A. W. Stewart, on the Board OF

BIG GAIN IN JERSEY.
NEW Works. SURPLUS POPULATION HAS
CROSSED THE LINE.

Why the Metropolis Has Not 2.OOO,OOo
PeopIe-Progress Of the Census Count
Philadelphia and Chicago Figures Are
Still Delayed
GFRoM STAFF CORRESPONDENT!
WASHINGTON, August 1.--So far as the
investigation of the census returns from
New Jersey has gone 1t shows decided
increase in the population OF the State.
More particularly is this the case in the
northern part of the State, where some of
the towns within easy reach of New York
show enormous gains. In several instances,
indeed, there are gains of over 100 per cent,
forming very conclusive evidence
that New York itself is responsible
for their prosperity. Anyone who
has watched the crowds OF
people crossing the ferry between New Jer-
sey and New York every morning and re-
turning every evening will be prepared Tor
this result.
Brooklyn's remarkable gain of over Al
per cent is also attributed to the overflow
from the crowded metropolis seek
ing cheaper homes than are
ohtainable in the city itself
while still being within easy reach Of the
business center. Without having taken
these facts into consideration some New
Yorkers have been grumbling little at the
paltry million and half of population with
which the census Office has accredited
their city. They had expected the census
to show at least 2, 600, 900 people upon Man
haitian Island. That they were disappointed
is no reflection upon New York, for it has been
estimated by a census office official that had
every person who had his business located
in New York City, also had his residence
there, the population of the metropolis
would have been at least three quarters OF a
million greater than it is.
I But then New York has no reason to
complain, even with the figures as they are.
For young city its population shows up
we'll besides that of some OF the older
capitals of the world. 1t is rapidly
overhauling Paris, while it surpasses by SOC,
900 that of Berlin and Vienna, and leaves
st. Petersburg, Madrid and Brussels far De-
hind.
A number of little things have arisen in
the count of the returns from Chicago and
Philadelphia which have delayed the pub
lication of the result in. either case. A
slight defect in the returns from one
little enumeration district in large
city is sufficient to delay the finding of the
total population of the place, and it will not
be until some time next week that the result
of the census in these two cities can be made
known

MANUFACTURING IVORY.

French Genius Has Supplied n Substitute
That seems Satisfactory.
New York Ledger.1
As manufacturers abroad claim that the
supply of ivory is too small to meet the
demands of industry and art. an extensive
industry has arisen in France to supply an
artificial substitute for natural ivory. Until
recently the substitute used has been OBJ
tanned by injecting white wood with chloride
of lime, under strong pressure. Within
short time, however, it has been established
that substitute may be prepared with the
bones of sheep and waste pieces of deer and
kid skins.
The bones are for this purpose macerated
and bleached for two weeks in chloride of
lime; then heated by steam along with the
skin so as to form fluid mass, to which are
added few hundredths of alum; the mass is
then filtered, dried in the air. and caused to
harden in a bath of alum, the result being
white, tough plates, which are more easily
worked than natural ivory.
