FOR A TRUST In FLOUR
Combination of Five Big Mill
ing Companies.
PRICES HAVE ALREADY ADVANCED

Fee d, Bran and Other Articles Produced
by the Mills VIII Be Affected by the
Combine--The Companies Control All
the Eastern Trade.
NEW York, July 22.-All the large
flour milling companies in and about
New York have pooled their issues and
formed themselves into single corpora
ton to control the -four markets of the
East. Articles of incorporation are now
being drawn up in this city, and within
the week they will be fled with the Secre-
tary Of State at Albany.
There are five great companies in the
combine They are the Hecker Company,
the Jewell Milling Company, Holt & Co.,
Jones & Co., and Kings County Company.
The Hecker Company owns the Croton
mill on Cherry street, the Jewels operate
what is known as the Brooklyn City Flour
mills, Holt g. Co. have their plant on
Staten Island, and Jones & Co. run the
New York City Roller Flour mills at No.
35 Broome street.
Securities will be issued by the new
company aggregating $500, 900. There
will be issued So, 500, 900 gold bonds bear
ing6 per cent. interest, to run for q term
of 80 years. The company retains the
privilege, however, of redeemlng the bonds
after 10years at ITO and accrued interest.
The prospectus states that subscribers to
the issue may take the bonds on August l..
The capital stock is to be of two classes
an issue of preferred stock of So, 1000, 900,
to pay dividend of per cent, and 81,
000, 900 common stock.
The following will be the officers of the
new company: John V. Hecker, presi-
dent; Eugene Jones, vice-president; Thos.
A. Mcintyre, treasurer; Herbert Jewell ,
secretary. Among the directors will be
David Bows, w. A. Nash and Gen. Slo-
cum and the officers of the company.
The New York millers have been en-
gagged in an aggressive competition for
several years. The Jones and Hecker com
panies began a cut-throat warfare several
months ago which forced drop in prices
from $4.75 to 81 % barrel. The organi-
cation of the new company will prevent
such a state of affairs in the fu-
ture. Flour has advanced 10 cents pei
barrel within the last week owing to the
consolidation of the warning interests.
Feed, bran and other articles produced by
the mills besides flour will be affected by
the combination. The New York mills
have a large trade in the West Indies and
South America. Holt s. Co. had a large
business in Brazil, the yearly shipments
to that country aggregating O,OO(
barrels.

When we get women to think as

every other duty which may fall to
them in life. Instead of making an eff
fort to cultivate the muscles of their
bodies, the ma ority of them deliberate

justed dress to destroy the large mus
cles which hold the body erect. They
are ANXIOUS to have a good form and
the desire is legitimate enough if they
took the right way to secure this end.
1t can only be secured by symmetrical

CAPT. BEDFORD SUSPENDED.
For Running the City of Chicago Ashore
Near Kinsale.

LIVERPOOL, July %. - The Board of
Trade in the case of Capt. BEDFORD, off the
Inman line steamer City of Chicago, has
announced it's Judgment.
It censures the captain for running his
ship ashore near the Old Head of Kinsale
and suspends his certificate for nine
months.
The court found, having regard for the
fact that the weather was intermittent
and the fog very thick at times, that the
vessel set nearer the land than the master
expected, and that the log-book showed
that he was travelling faster than he cal
culated.
The master was in default for not hav-
ing used the lead with greater frequency
and for allowing his vessel to proceed at
full speed upon course approaching land
at time when the weather was not such
as to justify such proceeding.
The master was also wrong in altering
the course at 1926 p. m. to east-northeast.

NEW York, July 22.-At. noon the
Democratic National Committee met at
the Fifth Avenue Hotel, Chairman Brice

said that he did not seek the place, but he
would not refuse it if it were thrust upon
him.
: 1t was generally agreed by the Com

fore the National Committee, but to make
an appeal later to the Executive Com
mittee.
Mr.. Hesing held a conference with Mr..
Cleveland on the question, together with
other members of the Committee.

THE LEADERS TO BE ARRESTED.
Idaho Miners Threaten to Assassinate the
Mine Masters.

BOISE CITY, Idaho, July GA report
was circulated here last evening that re-
liable information had been received by
the officials stating that insurrectionists
have made threat to assassinate thirty
of the leading mine masters in the Coeur
d'Alene district.
The officials pretend to take little
notice of the threat, if such a one has &C
tually been made.
United States Marshal Pinham has left
here for Coeur d'Alene with warrants for
eight of the rioters, charging them with
contempt of the Federal Court in having
violated an injunction restraining them
from interfering with the operation of the
mines.
1t has been decided to proceed against
the offenders in the District Court. Judge
Beatty will be asked to special term of
the United States Circuit Court as soon
as all of the arrests have been made.
As soon as order has been restored in
Shoshone County, the leaders in the riot
will be proceeded against, and charged with
murder.

Grover Cleveland
and the Women.

Mrs Mary Frost Ormsby of New York,
with many other wellmeaning women,
formed a political club lately and named
it the "Frances Cleveland influence C!uD'
She wrote a letter to Mrs Cleveland IN
forming her of this fact, and the letter
was full of patriotic sentiment. MrS
Cleveland handed the letter over to her
lord and master, aud he answered 1t, say
ing that he could not approve of the use
of Mis- Cleyeland's name for political
work, as the name of a wife and mother
is too sacred. We think that Mr. Cleve-
land could afford to let these women go
as they please" They did not ask for his
approval, and he needs all the lntu nee
lie can get. Mr. Cleveland ought to re-
member he only represents certain IDEAS
that are in the public mind, and his per-
sonal likes and dislikes are of min IF NM
portance. He has often told us that the
functions of government should b. con-
sideted sacred. If 80, we can tell him
that it will require the refining process of
woman's influence to make 1t sacred. Men
have gone it alone thus far, and there Is
nothing to day much more degrading than
politics; and the corruption fund Is grow
ing larger all the time. We think that
Mr.. Clevel land ought to feel honored In
having, as Mrs. Ormsby expresses 1t, the
mothers, wives, daughters and sisters OF
They talk about woman's sphere,
As though it had limit;
There's not place in earth or heaven,
There is not task to mankind given,
There is not n blessing or woe,
There's not a whisper, yes or no,
There's not a life, or death, or birth
That has feathers weight of worth,
Without woman in 1t.
