Their Fourteenth Birthday.

This week A. c. Yates & Co. celebrate
the Fourteenth Anniversary of the
establishment of their prosperous bust
ness in the Ledger Building, Sixth and
Chestnut streets, Philadelphia. AS is
customary on these occasions the Led :
ger Building IS gaily decorated, and
the firm receives its friends and visitors
with royal welcome.
Strolling through the spacious build
ing, one sees five floors filed with
clothing for Men, Boys and Children "a
and gets an idea of the immense
business done by this popular house.
An entire floor of the Ledger Building
is required for the Boys and Childrens'
Department, which is the largest and
most complete in Philadel phia.
The great and thriving business of
this firm is the result of offering it's
customers reliable clothing at the low
est prices. All the clothing they sell is
manufactured in their own workshops,
and wherever the name of A. c. Yates
q Co. is known, it stands for good,
honest clothing.
This season.they display superb
assortment for Men, Boys and Children,
and marvels at the cheapness of such
neat, stylish clothing.

Hail.

A hail storm struck Baltimore on
Sunday afternoon which broke acres
of glass, the hailstones-some of
them-weighing quarter Of a pound.
The storm came all at once, like a
thunder bolt. There was a perfect
Niagara of water, with hailstones.
Almost in an instant the streets were
rivers. the pavements were flooded
from two to three inches deep, and a
man who remained on the streets was
almost in danger of losing his life
The storm came from the west, was
local in its character, and swept to
the east, frightening the people out
of their wits, hitting those who were
on the streets many hard knocks and
driving them into places of shelter.

The Fertilizer Law.

Senator John s. Writ, has publish
ed series of articles in the Baltimore
Sun reviewing the work of the legis-
lature. Among the laws passed was
one authorizing the inspection OF
fertilizers.
The fertilizer law of the State was
amended SO as to provide for an
analysis of all commercial fertilizers
SOLD in the STATE. The analysis is
made at the Maryland Agricultural
College, and the publication of all
such analysis is provided for. Be.
fore any person can offer for sale any
fertilizer in this State he must take
out license for the sale of the, same,
for which he is required to pay, for the
sale of one hundred tons, five dollars,
and for every additional one hundred
tons or fraction thereof two dollars
If larger amount is sold than is
sti pulatt d for in tle license q return
of such excess must be made to the
comptro Ter and the tax paid thereon
This license tax is laid to pay the
expense of the ana ysis. and even.
tually comes out of the farmer who
buys the fertilizer. The money re-
ceived by the State treasurer for
such licenses is paid over annually to
the Maryland Agricultural College to
the amount of three thousand dollars
Every bag or package Of fertilizer
sold is required to have stamped on
it the NUMBER of net pounds of fcrti-
lizer in the package, the name or
brand thereof. the name and address
of the manufacturer and the chemical
analy sis. The purchaser of any fer
til Ger may take sample thereof in
the presence of two disinterested
witnesses, and have the same sna'yz
ed without charge except for the cost
of transportation. And the law fur.
Their makes it the duty of tho co lege
to take samples of any and all ferti
lizers sold in the State These sam
Piles may be taken from any fertilizer
in transitu. or in the possession Of
any manufacturer or dealer, and in
the presence of such manufacturer,
dealer or theiragent or representative
Any purchaser who shall be injured
or defrauded by reason Of any ferti-
lizer not conforming in quality or
quantity to the statement accompany
ing the same may recover from the
seller thereof the whole amount of
the purchase money and costs of suit
The law goes into effect May l 1890.
This law, while an improvement on
our present law, is not as precise in
its provisions as either the Delaware
or New Jersey laws, both of which
have secured good results.
