cunningly as 70 save him from prosecu-
ton and deserved punishment II is q
fraud upon manufacturers who are max
Ing legitimate article and who have
spent thousands Of dollars TO bring IL be-
fore the public, and a fraud upon GUS
toners who are tricked into buying a
bogus article which is worthless, II not
something worse. It is time that this
contemplate business was stopped, and
1t can be if the press Of the country win
ventllate and expose 1t and If the public
will refuse to patronize druggists who
palm off these nOstrums upon it. Gus
toners should demand the article they
have every reason to believe is the best,
and If a dealer begins the old story
recommending q preparation he has made
himself, which he knows to be pure be-
cause he made il, which has his name on
the wrapper, ETC., It should be sufficient
cause to refuse it promptly and 90 else
where for their goods. II is the lowest
and meanest form of common thleveEy,
and If the public will Join hands with the
press 1t can be broken up. 1t Is certainly
for the interests OF the former to do 80,

AS an inducement to these small dealers
and the better to enable them to carry
out the swindle, their names frequently
are printed on the packages by the manu-
facturers, and the false caption "our own
make" is often added. 1t is easy to see
how the swindle Is worked. A customer
goes into store and asks for SCOTS
Emulsion, for instance. The dealer says
that he has 1t, which is probably lie,
but recommends the customer to buy q
preparation put up by himself, which he
claims to be equally good, and which, he
says, he can recommend, because. hepre-
tends, he has compounded it himself
and 1t Is his town make" and besides,
while SCOTS Emulsion may be fifty
cents bottle, he can sell his own prepa-
ration at twenty five cents. Nine times
out of ten the customer, relying upon
the statement of the druggist, will be in
duced by motives Of economy, to take the
substitute, which, Of course, is worthless
and may be dangeous. The dealer is en-
abled to do this, because he buys very
cheaply from the manufacturer and thus
the two get the benefit of the advertis-
ing Of the genuine material and divide
large profits. Thus an unsuSpecting
public ls swindled.
1t is needless to say that the druggist
or dealer who will descend to this con-
temptible business merely because he can
make larger profit upon the substitute
than he can upon the genuine article, Is
a common swlndler and none the less a
swindler because the trick Is devised 90

THE SUBSTITUTE sWINDLE.
n the Chicago Herald.

From the Chicago Herald.
Mr.. A. Frank Richardson of New York
has done the public good service by call
ing attention in his recent address be-
fore the National Editorial Association
at st. Paul to the petty but extensive
frauds practiced upon customers through
what Is known as the substitute swindle.
The modus operandi of these dishonest
deals may be briefly explained. There
are many standard articles, such, for in
stance, as Pears Soap, SCOTS Emulsion,
Carter's Little Liver Pills, Hoods Sarsa-
parills, Morgan's SapOlio, VOLTS Acme
Backing, st. Jacobs OIL, Ponds Extract,
Syrup of Figs, and others which have at
tanned to a large sale and widespread
reputation by their Legitimate merits and
the liberal advertising of their pro-
prietors. Certain unprlncipled druggists
and small dealers have taken advantage
of these circumstances to counterfeit
these goods by initiating them just closely
enough to keep themselves out Of the
clutches of the law. AT Detroit and in
other cities there are houses whose en-
tire business consists in manufacturing
limitations Of these articles, or "substi-
tutes," which are made so as to closely
resemble the originals in materials used,
in the name, and in the general appear
ance of the boxes, bottles or wrappers,

IN WARLIkE MOOD.
The Navy D~rartmaat Wants to Dsela
War Against Chill.

War Against Chill.
NEW YORK. Dec. l8.-A special from
Washington to The Herald says the
navy department is in warlike mood.
1t was stated about the department that
the Chilians are delaying their answer
to our demand for information concern
ing the Valparaiso incident for the pur-
pose of gaining time, so that their new
war vessel, the Captain Pratt, which
will be the most formidable Of their
fleet, is completed. Tho situation thus
outlined was discussed with eagerness,
and the opinion was freely advanced
that President Harrison would, in all
likelihood take measures to checkmate
Chilli III this matter by sending special
message to congress within the next two
weeks, reciting the fact that an explain
alton has been sought Of Chill without
avail, and proclaimins the necessity of
informing Chilli that this country will
resort to extreme measures if the desired
response is further delayed beyond a
reasonable and specified time.
The wisdom of this course, it. is ar
gued, would be apparent. The Captain
Pratt is now building in France, and
cannot be finished in less than two
months or more. In the meantime,
should Harrison and congress cause
declaration of war by the United States
against Chill, 1t would prevent France
from delivering the vessel to Chill, and
would save New York and our other
Atlantic cities from danger of lombard
ment from that source.

THIS TIME in CHICAGO.

United States Mail Wagon Held Up on
the Streets of the Windy City.
Chicago, Dec. 15.-At Il late hour a
United States mail wagon filled with
registered and other matter was stopped
by five men and robbed Of its contents.
The robbery took place on Mather
street, between Desplaines and Halsteal
streets, and was so quietly done that
before the affair was reported to the
police, the robbers had half an hours
start. In a refuse box on the North
Side, three miles from the scene of the
robbery, the cut mail pouches and their
rifled contents were found about mid
night. The wagon was on its way to
the main postofice, with mail from the
stockyards and southwest stations.
When half way to Desplaines street on
Mather, five men
Sprang from an Alley,
and while one seized the horses by the
reins the others covered the driver with
revolvers and commanded him to keep
IN1Cls AS1 CSesA1 W tto CllClA AONl AllUO iii
alley. While two of the men covered
the driver with guns, the others forced
open the door of the wagon and hastily
selecting the registered pouches from
the others made off through the alley.
An inventory of the contents of the
wagon by the postof1ice officials show
that the two registered mail pouches
from the stock yards station and the
southwest stations were missing. As
nearly as cap be estimated the robbers
secured in the neighborhood of $4,000 in
currency and about 100000 worth of
non-negotiable paper sent by the
Drovers' and Stock Yards National
banks to their correspondents. The lat
ter item will he of little use to the ban
dts, but will cause All endless amount
of trouble and confusion in the financial
cilcles involved.

DENVER, Dec. Is. "A special to The

says: The indications are that a bloody
battle cannot long be delayed. Since
all overtures for an arbitration have
failed both company and strikers have
taken more demonstrative stand. The
former has ordered lumber and already
begun the erection of bunkhouses for
the protection of the men who will take
the places of the strikers.
During the evening 100 Winchester
rifles with $500 rounds of ammunition
were dumped from freight car and
Immediately taken possession of by
Sheriff Shores and his deputies. Fear
less men are now on their way to
Crested Butte from Pueblo and other
places to handle these rifles in protecting
the property Of the company and the
lives of their new employees.
The strikers are now holding secret
meetings, all the proceedings being i'll
the italian and Austrian languages.
They vow that they will fight to the
death for what iEey consider to be their
rights. and that they will allow no i'm
ported men to take their places. In
other words they Insist that their de-
mands shall he compiled with without
exception OF there will be war to the
