THE FISH DEALERS.
Fulton Market Men Must Paw
Big Prices for Ice.
Disseminated Against by Companies
Who Profit 80 per Ton.

That the ice companies should charge
them 81 a ton for the large quantities
of ice daily used both for their fishing
boats and for their market business, is
a source OF complaint for the fsh-dealers
In the Fulton Market.
one OF the leading dealers told an
Evening World" reporter this morning
that the boats and the market used on
a low average about 5000 tons of Ice a
year. The dealers, who compose the Full
ton Market Fish-Dealers' Association
have no contract with the Ice companies
I'm that" he said, I'VE are foolish,
but l suppose what is everybody's bust
ness is nobodys business. and none Of
us seems inclined to take hold and agi-
tate for a change. What we individually
complain of Is that we believe we are
charged much more than others who
also use large quantities OF Ice.
have the statements of ex-employ-
ees of an Ice company, that the large
breweres, meat-houses and ice-cream
firms do not pay over 50 a ton for their
ice and many of they only $3.50"
The Ice used In the Fulton Market
trade costs the consumers less for hand
ling than that delivered anywhere else.
] am told, on what I consider good au-
thority, that the ice only costs the COM
PAM les from II to 10 cents a ton placed
In their icehouses, and that the wastage
does not exceed % cents a ton. Add the
boat-carrying charges. which is the
cheapest rate OF transportation, and the
wagon haul, and still the companies
clears over So ton on the Ice they sell
us for "a.
while do not say that there is an
ice combine, know that there is no COM
petition of any momen between the
companies. Early this Spring the deal
ers heard that the companies would ad-
vance the price OF ice to IS ton. A
meeting of the Fulton Market Fish
Dealers Association was called to con-
slider the matter. The Superintendent OF
one of the companies FASTENED to at
tend the meeting and assured the Asso-
ciation that the rate OF 81 would not be
advanced. AS an example Of differential
rates l know that a couple of years or
30 ago, when the price OF ice was raised
on dealers to as high as SIS a ton In
some instances. Ehret's brewery only
paid "a ton"

point blank to lead UP to introductions

Duchess he still remained popular. -,
1t was on the eastern voyage that all
this occurred, and such smooth seas and
serene skies were said to have been rare
in Their voyaging around the world by
His Grace and his wife.
BY the time the Cow and Calf came intoo
view one glorious morning about 9
o'clock Johnny and his Duchess were
quite pals as she expressed H. and
IL was duly priced by Johnny as a thing
apart and belonging to him. BY invita-
ton from the Captain they watched the
Irish coast peep up into the water from
the bridge, and there they stood until
Fastnet Lighthouse came out on the
other side and the Duchess said. with a
sigh: almost home again.
They parted at Liverpool, and there
was given to Johnny a cordial invitation
TO come and call at Essex House, the
London home of their Graces. and he
was left to wonder II he should ever see
them again. but In the excitement Of ar
irving In London this was soon forgotten

the boys tone that Mrs. Thurston forgot
the Episcopal pose and let herself down
to a kindly level, and put Johnny at
his ease, to her niece's evident surprise.
The next day, in one of the rooms OF
the National Gallery, Johnny came upon
the younger lady, who was In undoubted
distress. He caught her eye: she gave
a faint smile OF recognition, and he was
beside her.

There was so much relief In Mrs
Thurston's face when they finally found
tress Nellie had, in the short time they
were together, concluded that he was
much better than he looked. and was
not 10 be lightly cast on In a land where
pleasant and companionable fellow-coun-

bravely recalled Johnny to Mrs. Thurs

After that matters hurried themselves.

Journeyings and saunterings. Johnny

There was a cricket match on between
Elton and Harrow-one of the notable
matches OF the year-ani Johnny had
hired the neatest turnout he could Ind

There was some battling before the

And SO it happened that when Johnny
went into the dining-room that evening
Miss Thurston remarked to the stout
lady who sat beside her, and who had
the dignity OF a bishop at confirmation:
There he Is auntie; That's the man
who said / WAS some duchess"
Mrs. Thurston looked at Johnny much
as she was In the habit OF looking at
hanson cab drivers while making. up
her mind to whom she would trust her
self, and she said, promptly: Very or

Negotiations are pending between the

There is little doubt that, II a price
