They Adopt Some Resolutions In Reference
TO Manufacturers Retailing Goods.
BOSTON, August 15.-The annual con-
vention of the National Association Of Re-
tail Shoe Dealers resumed its session this
morning. A resolution was adopted declar-
ing that the opening of retail shoe stores by
manufacturers and jobbers who sell to retail
dealers (and through them get reputation
for their goods) and then compete with them
is unjust to the retailer and should be dis
continued. A resolution to boycott, as far
as possible such manufacturers was rejected,
although strongly advocated by some.
A resolution was also adopted that when
retail dealers feel that they have just cause
for complaint against inscriptions manu-
facturers and jobbers, who uDjustly black
list them, they present the same to the sec
retary, who shall lay it before the Executive
COMMITTEES, and, ii the committee thinks it
worthy of consideration, the Secretary shall
be instructed to confer with the Secretary Of
the New England Shoe and Leather Asso-
citation, and use the influence Of the Retail
Shoe Dealers Association to effect a lust
settlement OF the claim and such retailers
credit be unimpaired. The convention oo-
dered that future annual meetings be held
in July, unless otherwise ordered by the
Executive Committee. The Treasurer is
required to give bond of s., 900 and will
receive a nominal salary. G. G. Pierce, Of
Chicago, favored plan Of insurance.

FRESH BEER Is BEST.
IfNot Over Five Minutes From the Brewery

St. Louis Letter in New York PressJ
No one who comes to ST. Louis is allowed
to remain long in ignorance of the St. Louis
claim that the best beer on this continent is
brewed here. There is a restaurant here
known as Faust's. which is a semi-fashion-
able eating place, that makes speciality of
serving this beer in '-steins" and "schop-
pens." and not to have quaffed "stein" of
beer at Faust's is considered as not having
become acquainted with St. Louis. Faust
sells from so to 100 kegs OF beer dailv. and
on this enormous trade is able to make
special arrangements by which his beer is
kept always at the same temperature as in
the brewery itself
He has an immense refrigerator yault.
where the temperature is kept exactly as in
the brewery, and the beer is never over five
minutes out of the brewery until it is in
this vault. He tells me that under this
treatment beer is always a satisfying and
healthy drink, and from experience L can
we'll believe it, for although not a beer
drinker, and having a positive distaste for
it as beverage, found it, under his plan,
to be fit for a kaiser. Here is practical

Financier's Favorite Lunch.
New York Press.l
The destruction by the recent fire in the
Western Union building of the Iuuchroom
on the ninth floor was a sad blow to that
alert financier, Russell Sage. 1t had been
his custom for years, upon the advent OF the
huckleberry season, to climb to the Western
Union lunchroom and indulge himself in
quarter section of huckleberry pie. There
was, to his mind, no pie like the pie to be
found there. And alter the fire he pros
pected around among Che downtown cafes
for pie like it, but in vain. He vas seen to
approach the pie counter of Delmonico's one
dav and order huckleberry pie. He tasted
it. laid down his knife, pushed the pie away,
heaved heavy sigh OF disappointment and
ie t the place.
Another dish of which Mr.. Sage is fond is
potatoes boiled in their jackets. "If you
want to do good days work." Mr.. Sage
has been heard to say, make your break
fast OF potatoes and bread" Soup Mr.. Sage
does not care :or. partly because cit fills
you up without doin' you any good, )" and
nartly because "the pesky stuff is always
gettin' IN your whiskers."
