COSTLY JAPANESE WARES.
Americana Claim That the Middle
Men Are Extortionists.

A high official of the Japanese Gov
ernment in this country writes to thank
the Illustrated American for its recent
rebuke of the preposterous profits de-
manded by American dealers in the ia
miliar wares of China and Japan. The
officials point out the serious
injury done to the trade of the Orient
by the ridiculously high prices charged
for the products of those countries by
a monopoly of the business in this coun-
try. A correspondent cites many anus
ing instances of the absurd prices that
the more pretentiouS shops charge for
their wares. Referring to the episode
mentioned by a well-knoWn magazine
which a New York shop charged STA
correspondent writes that screens for
which 20 and 30. cents are charged in
Japan, and which at the very highest
estimate could not cost more than 40 or
go cents landed in this country, are re-
drives at IS and $40 each. Vases which
tails l or 2 cents apiece and which come
over as ballast in the Pacific liners,
are sold here for Sc or ST. Now that the
trade between this country and the
Orient is to be carried or much freer
lines than formerly this sort of extor-
China and Japan, as we have before
pointed out. produce so many articles of
insignificant intrinsic value. and yet of
such great advantage in the convenience
and decoration of our homes. that it is
well worth while to attempt to secure
without the ridiculous profits charged
by the present middle men.

FOUND DEAD IN HIS CHAIR.
Death of a Well KNOWN
GreenvilIe Citizen.

The many friends of Mr.. George w. Petit,
one of Greenyille's foremost citizens, were
panied to hear of his death last evening.
Mr.. Petit's death was a surprise and wholly
unexpected by his family. On Monday he
was seemingly enjoying the best of health,
and upon returning from work ven to the
lower section of the city to console with the
family of a friend who had died the same
day. Yesterday morning he complained of
pains in his stomach and remained at home.
AT five o'clock last evening the physician
in attendance found him suffering a little,
and predicted that this morning he would be
able to return to work. Mr.. Petit was in
bed at the time and at half-past five o'clock
when his son kitchie entered the room, he
was sitting in a chair dead. The discovery
was a terrible shock to the family.
Mr.. Petit resided with his family at No.
142 Danforth avenue. He was horn in
County Galway, Ireland, fifty years ago.
and came to this country when but seven
wears old. When but a youth he secured
employment in the well-known house of
Clahin & Co., in New York. He remained
with the firm until his death, having risen to
d IGSDO1SlDi0 ROoIUlOll Ii DaO hbW AAtOHoA v
ment. When the civil wal broke out Mr..
Petit was among the first to answer to the
call of arms and on the field of battle he
earned a record which will forever live after
him. He enlisted in the Tenth New York
Volunteers, a zouave regiment. and fought
in every important battle, serving until
his regiment was mustered out at the close
OF the war. Although he entered as a pri-
vate. he returned with the ran OF color
sergeant. He earned his stripes at the can
mons mouth. AT the battle of Cold Harbor
| eight men of his regiment had been shot
| dow with the colors. He was the ninth
| man to jump forward and save them. One
| of the enemy's bullets pierced his cap and a
| grape shot hit the flag pole. swapping it in
| two. but Private Petit, true soldier that he
was, held his post. For this act of bravery
the Colonel of the regiment promoted him to
| the rank of color sergeant.
Mr.. Petit was a member of Lafayette Post,
G.. A, r.. of New York city, and President
Of the Tenth New York Volunteers, being
thrice elected to the latter position. AT the
last election Mr.. Petit declined a reelection.
but his comrades, with whom he was a big
favorite, refused to accept the ~declination,
and he continued as president. He vas a
warm friend of James E. Taylor, the noted
artist, whose pen-apd-ink sketches of scenes
| of the late wa. attracted SO much attention.
One Of these pictures which is most treas
ured by the family represents Mr.. Petit in
| the thick of battle holding fast to the Tag
that he loved SO dearly.
Mr.. Petit was married on june ~, 1872, to
Miss Mary Stewart at Philadelphia. She and
eight children, three boys and five girls, sur
vive him. Mr.. Petit frequently wished that
when he died, he should be buried like a sol
der. His comrades who fought with him
will carry him to bis last resting place.

CAMDEN, Oct 90, 1s95.-"Allpersons ex-
cept the lawyers and those directly inter
ested in this case win retire. commanded
Vice Chancellor Pitney. sitting in chambers
here yesterday. The case was the suit Of
Mary c. Macfarlane for alimony from her
husband, William c. Macfarlane, postmaster
of Merchantville, and the Vice Chancellor
thought the evidence ought not to reach the
public. Later on a young man arose to
leave. The Vice Chancellor saw him and
exclaimed:
seThat's a reporter, isn't it? Well, if I had
known him he would have gone out, too"
CHARGED YEARS OF ABUSE.
Mrs. Macfarlane testified that she was I'M
able longer to bear her husbands abuse and
cruel treatment. She said they had been
married twenty-five years. had had seven
teen children, six of whom are living, and
that she had suffered for years from the ne
glect of her husband, who had frequently
left home for days at a time. Under cross
examination by Judge Howard Carrow,
counsel for the Postmaster, she denied intin1-
acy with w. T. Fox, an employees at the
Market street ferry, VIC had been named as
correspondent. She also denied being adj
dicted to drink. She admitted having been
locked up with her seven-year-old boy in a
Philadelphia station mouse on a charge of
drunkenness, and that she had stayed from
home over night once or twice.
TELLS A DIFFERENT STORY.
When Postmaster Macfarlanes side of the
case came up he told a somewhat different
story. He admitted that he had remained
away from his home for a day or two at a
time. but he said that a lumber pile was
preferable to his house at times. He said
his wife was addicted to drink, and SO
neglected her home as to make it uninviting
and miserable.
The saddest feature of the hearing, and
the one which brought forth the Vice Chan
| cellor's order, was the story told by Mildred,
| the pretty sixteen-year-old daughter of the
postmaster. She said that one night in
October, three years ago, her mother and
herself had reached the Camden side OF the
| Market street ferry too late to catch a car
for Merchontyille. As they had to wait
| attache alluded to, made them comfortable
in a room at the ferry in which the only
light was that which %glimmered through the
| windows from the electeic lights. The child
witness said she was laid IN a bench with a
| shawl over her, and that when they thought
her asleep she saw Fox and her mother mis-
behave.
On the witness stand Fox Indignantly
denied any w~rongdoing with Mrs. Macfar-
lane. He said he had simply made her and
| the child comfortable in one of the offices
because they were belated passengers.
The Vice Chancellor lost no time in reach
ing his decision. He said the evidence was
overwhelming against Mrs. Macfarlane, and
he would DENY her application,
