Tea a. s17b a Pound.

Tea at Sl15 pouoG If a grocer
should ask the average housewife
that kind of price she would be
Gsely to drop dead. Yet there is
such tea, ana u. N. Ne:riweatler,
tea merG&aot of Cincn nati, has some
oft. A little of this goes lorg way
and five ounces constitutes his stock
Very little of this tea is ever
bioag1t to this country. Indeed,
d tie Of it is marketed anywhere, as
it is extremely rare, and miDionaires,
evea, if the price was no object,
would have difficulty in getting hold
of it.
This $l75-a-pouo I'D tea is known as
the Ceylon gold bud. 1t is the pic'I-
ings of the first tips CT the blossoms.
The greatest care must be taken in
Che picking, and nothing but the
blight golden. hued tip taken off the
blossoms, All the picking of this
grade Ii carefully done by hand. The
process Of drying these tips is as
delicate as the picking. The annual
output is estimated at 10000 pounds,
valued al s2,10O,OO0.
But five pounds of this tea has
ever been known to have reached the
United States, excepting a few
pouods placed on exhibition at the
Worlds Fair. A rich lady residing
at New York wrote to Mr.. Mari, the
agent Of the Ceylon tea-growers for
America. at Chicago, and asked HIM
to try TO procure FOL her If possible,
Eve pounds Of the precious article.
Tho New York lady gave check for
$1,000 for her five pounds. MIR.
Metriweather, who is personal friend
OF Mr.. Mari, received five ounces of
the extra pound procured.

THE RAILWAY WAR.
Scaboard May Unite With Southern
Freixht AanOciatfOn,

Freight Association.
The most recent rumor growing out Of
the Seaboard-Southern railroad war in
re- ilway circles is that the Seaboard is
about to seek to reunite with the Southern
States Freight Association.
1t is possible that the only ground for
the report is to be found In the fact, as
stated on good authority, that while in
Atlanta a few days ago Vice President St
John of the Seaboard called on Commits
sio.:er Haines of the Southern States
Freight Association. The call seems, how
ever, so far as has yet been ascertained, to
Rave been purely personal and without ref
erence to the Sea board re-entering the as
sociation at an early date. The personal
relations between the vice president and
the commissioner have always been friend
ly. Mr. Haines was Mr.. St. Johns frs,
choice for commissioner when Commission
er Stshlman retired, and the Selboard was
Cne of the first roads, If not the very first,
to arroLnce for him.
Whether the Southern would consent to
the Seaboard again becoming a member of
the Southern States Freight Association,
which the latter helped to organize few
years ago, but soon left, is a matter con-
corning which there is much difference
of opinion In railroad circles.
Immediately following the announcement
late yesterday afternoon that Judge Hughes
of the United States court for the western
district of Virginia had enjoined the At
lantic Coast line from carrying into effect
its cut rates, the impression prevailed that
the effect of the proceeding would be to
bring the rate war to an abrupt termina
ton, but the consensus of opinion among
railroad men today is that truce has sim.
ply intervened and that after The decision
OF the court at the hearing, which takes
place in few days, hostilities will be re-
81 med with even more Vigor than has
heretofore been displayed by either side.

The instrument consists of a circular. nat
metal box or tympanum, having on its one
surface two apertures for the attachment
of the rubber ear tubes, while the other
surface is formed by thin disc, which Is

results are obtained by simply applying this

The recent cloudburst at Industry, Pa,
while 1t did great damage in the neighb Dr.
hood, may yet prove to be a blessing in dis
guise. The ravine at the western edge Of
town, where the flood of water filled the
culvert under the c. and P. tracks last
week, now shows two veins of bituminous
coal, clearly exposed. One vein is four
and one-half feet in thickness, underlaid
with eight feet of superior fire clay, and
another is three feet thick with fourteen
inches of fire clay underneath. The flood
also washed bare and exposed a thirty
foot stratum of building stone similar in
grain, quality and appearance to the fam
Gus Cleveland or Berea stone. At the glen
at the eastern end Of the Eagle Prairie
peach patch a formation new to this sec
ton has been opened and exposed. 1t has
eighteen inches of the finest bituminous
coal and Immediately under and joining
this are twelve feet of camel coal, the
formation esembling the Kentucky camel

Max Friedlander's Story of the Ben.

People Here.

Max Friedlander, who represents Chi
cago cloak manufacturing firm employing
1900 sewing machines, is in the City. Mr..
Frledlander is one of the highest salaried
men IN the country, receiving $25, 900 and
travelling expenses for three years con-
tract, besides the aid of a travelling assist
ant. He carries as many as sixteen or
seventeen trunks, and usually stays about
three months here. Mr.. Friedlander said
some interesting things yesterday about
high salaries and the effect of the McKin-
ley bill in advancing the price of labor.
I'm regard to these big crackajack sal
aries of travelling men," he said, II get IS

man is sent along, too, to help me at
the firms expense.
"a man who gets this salary is ex-
pected to sell 100000 worth of goods a
year, or thereabouts. He may sell more,
and if he does, for all over that he gets a
percentage in addition to his salary. The
firm figures up at the end of the three
years and if l have sold over $500, 600

Times have been too dull for that.
I'VE get our piece-goods from Leeds,
Manchester and other cities in England,
and from Berlin. We alss get some made
up goods from the latter city. However
most of the goods come in the piece, and
our workmen have got SO now they can
make up the goods better than they can
abroad.
"The Mckinley bill has helped the

Labor has been advanced great deal. In
Germany mel. employed in clothing man

while women get 80. In this country men
receive SIS and women from Sc to 81.
''Our American made goods are getting
better and better all the time. We are so
much superior to the foreigners in
making up goods that there is no compari-
son. Cloaks made in Germany don't lit
our women at all. The German women
are stouter and do not have the graces of
form that ours do"
Mr.. Friedlander has been twenty eight
years on the road. He says that talk about
$4,000 and 5000 to travelling men is not
well founded. 1t is more than is paid.
He gets as much, he says. as is paid to
anybody, and scarcely three men get as
much as that. The travelling man spends
money lavishly. or at least it is said OF
hi that he does

eleven OF the Olympic Club; that. instead
picked team was organized for the purpose
OF doing up" Stockton's boys. They also
say that the San Francisco boys "abso-
lutely refused to give their names and that
the Stockton men do not know the names
or identity of some of the men they went
against Also that the San Francisco
team did not, with two or three excep-
lions, wear the Olympic colors.
Now, the Comus Club emphatically de-
MES thes& charges and insinuations. In
the first place they say that the Stockton
team did not agree to play game with the
Olym pic Club eleven. The challenge was
sent in the name of the "Comus Club
Team of San Francisco"
And the Stockton boys, for the sake of
attracting a larger audience, advertised
the visitors as the Second Eleven of the
Olympic Club
This was done without the knowledge or
consent of the Comus Club.
1t is also denied that the San Francisco
boys refused TO give their names. The
names were advertised in Stockton papers,
and with no exception the team appeared as
advertised. Moreover, there was no one at
all wearing Olympic colors, there being no
necessity for members of the Comus Club
to wear any colors except black and gold,
the club colors.
The boys say that they cannot believe
that the Stockton CLUB could have re-
sorted to such unsportsmanlike conduct as
to authorize the publication of these re-
ports.

MEASURE FOR MEASURE"
The Rev. W. III. RAIDER on What God
Demands In This World.

The Rev. W. II. RAIDER on What God
Demands In This World.
The Rev. VIM. 81. RAIDER preached at the
Y. NJ. c. A. Hall yesterday afternoon on
Measure for Measure" He told how ex-
actly as one neglected or performed his
duty here his penalty or reward was melted
out to him.
This sermon was plea for higher life,
and the divine held that it was the very
source of life to do ones duty and have
the approval OF ones own conscience.
He recounted an experience of the great
revivalist, Moody, who met a wounded
man. The man in his then condition OF
mind and body rebelIed against giving
himself up to God, but that was exactly
what he found he must do ii he would be
saved. Similarly great painter found on
the streets of New York one day ragged,
deplorable man. He asked him to call at
his studio next day, and he would paint
him.
But the man called in a handsome suit
of black, with immaculate linen, polished
shoes and cane, and the painter would not
take him. He wanted him just as he had
been naturally, and not made up for the
occasion. THAT is what God wants." re-
peated the preacher.
