cepible frame Of mind or more ready to
listen to pooling proposition than now
There are other elements of the situa-
ton, however, which offer difficulties.
The men who grind tho wheat into -four
are divided into two classes, technically
known as the spring wheat millers and
the winter wheat millers from the quail
ity of grain they handle. OF the former
there are 51O, but of the latter there arr
nearer 10. 600. Some Of the mills turn
out ten barrels a day and some send out
their daily product by the trainlOad
Some are located in the big milling cen
tiers and some are scattered far and near
in country villages. 1t is these little fell
lows that play the mischief vita such
elaborate plans as Mir. Hubbard liz ex-
pert in making. The big millers may
agree to go into a combine and put up
the price of -four, bat the small millers
will cut under them and eventually the
pool goes to smash.
It has been this feature of the problem
that has baf1ed all former attempts to
form a -four combine of a national char
acter, and it is this that has kept down
the price Of -four to q reasonable figure.
The millers have been waiting for
Grant or a Napoleon to organize them
and lead them on to victory and high
prices. Mr.. Hubbard thinks he is the
man to 90 it, and he is going to make a
desperate effort to get the millers, big
and small, all into his North American
association.
Thus far Mr.. Hubbard has succeeded
in almost everything he has undertaken.
True. he was very poor for awhile when
he first went west from New York state,
where he was born, but he had not
struck his gait then. He started a small
grocery store and made a signal failure
Of it. Then he started a linseed oil mill
and began to make money fast Mr.
Willard and other men with money be-
came interested in the venture and gave
the peculiar genius Of Hubbard chance
to spread itself. In a short time the lin
seed oil business of the country was in
their grasp.
On the heels of this venture Mr.. Hub
bard went into the milling business.
Fortune smiled on his enterprise, and his
business grew like weeds in an Arkansas
truck patch. He bought mill after mill.
He built a system of elevators on the
Omaha system of the Northwestern rail
road. Today he controls 40 wheat ele-
vatOrs In southern Minnesota, and his
mills turn out ESQ, 600 barrels Of -four a
year. He can make and unmalze the price
of -four in his own district but that does
not satisfy him. He wants to cont10l
the entire -four output of the United
States and control It in the interests of
himself and other millers. Such is the
ambition Of the American -four king. -

The King of Dudes Wants to Run for

New York, June 9-Evander Berry
Wall, once called king Of the dudes, has
gone into politics. He is the treasurer
of the Roscoe Conkling Republican
club of the Twenty-seventh assembly
district, an organization which adheres
to the political fortunes of Platt and
Lauterbach, and he has announced his
intention to try for the nomination for
assembly next fall
AS the TWenty-seventh district is
counted a BrOOkheld district under Ordi-

no walk over in his contest, but he has
more than the Brookheld men to con-

WALL STREETS THREAT.

The san Francisco Calls comment Of
the Henry Clews panic circular is as
follows:
Henry Clews is at the head of one Of
the great broking houses of the eoun-
try. The circulars which he issues have
been for years accepted as the accred-
tied voice Of Wall street. What he has
written cannot be set aside as of no
Importance. He speaks boldly Of a
power by which Wall street can compel
even a two-thirds majority in both
houses of congress to violate their
pledges to the people and do the viii Of
Wall street. What is that power2.
There is a threat in the letter which
the American people neither can nor
viii ignore The issue is rapidly shap-
ing itself to a fight between Wall street
and the country. IF Wall street is
ready to engage in such a conflict the
Republican party is ready to take it up.
The threat has been boldly made and
we shall see if the gold manipulators
dare to enforce it.

a Genius for Organization.
If the gentle ambition Of Mr.. R. D.
Hubbard is realized, the price of -four to
every consumer in this country viii be
advanced 80 per cent in the next few
months.
This Mr.. Hubbard may not be very
generally known Just now, but if his
present scheme goes through his identity
viii be widely realized He halls from
the whole northwest in general. but
more particularly from the Minnesota
town Mankato. 1t was in Mankato that
he laid the foundations of the big for
tune which he hopes to multiply several
times, and so he sticks to the place.
What Mr.. Hubbard really wants to
do is to get every miller in the land to
join q little organization which he is
getting up. This organization is known
as the North American AIillers' assOcia-
ton Some people might call it a pool,
and others might refer to it as a trust.
When it is formed, Mr. Hubbard VIII
probably be its president, and in antici-
patton he has been called the flour
king Of America.
But Mr.. Hubbard may have some lit
tie difficulty in getting all the millers

from lack of experience. for it was he
who organized the Southern Minnesota
1IiIIers' association, which had, in a
limited measure, the same effect on the
price of -four that this greater combine
Is expected to produce. He is also cred
tied with controlling the price Of liuseed
oil By q similar scheme.
1t viii not he from lack Of funds or
backing either. for Mr. Hubbard him
self is a rich man, and he has behind
him such great milling magnates as the
Pillsburys, the Washburns and his par
ticular friend, John A. Willard, who is
worth "a 600, 600 if be is a dollar. The
milling interests which he has won over
to his side Of the scheme represent a

it is not a case of poor, but ambitious
with Mr. Hubbard.
The opportunity is not lacking either,
for no matter how much money has been
made ia the milling business in past
years very little is being made now, and
the millers were never in a more sus-

phia. Then he was called to the historic
old Park Street Congregational church
in Boston, and while pastor there he
passed through the most critical period
in his career. The church had been
famed for it's orthodoxy and pristine
puritanisn and was familiarly known
as He'll Fire Corner. .
There was a certain liberal element
in the church, however which secured
the services Of DR.. WithrOw, but even
these members regarded him with some
suspicion at first He had not been
preaching long, however, before the
fame of his eloquenee had attracted the
most liberal Of liberals to the church,
while at the same time even the most
radical Of the orthodox were not affected
Even the Unitarians were amazed that
a man could occupy that pulpit, preach
in q way to satisfy his congregation and
yet melt the hearts Of casual visitors who
had no sympathy with the extreme
orthodoxy of the membership. His sweet
sermons, his bright flashes Of gospel
light and his tenderness captured all
hearts, heterodox and otherwise, and be
became one of Boston's most beloved
clerics. In 1887 he went to Chicago and
conquered his new field with as much
facility as he had his old one.

BY the second presbytery Of Philadel-

has achieved great success. He is a

A WORK OF ART

There are hundreds of pretty Christ
mas trees in Wilmington, but one of
the most notable is owned by Richard
Bauer, of No. S22 Pine street. The
manner in which the tree is decorated
is a secret of Mr. Bauers, and he has
consumed twenty-five years i'm perfect
ing the many novelties with which the
tree is adorned. Running through the
branches of the tree are miniature toy
monkeys which work by electricity.
Near the top is a small island repre-
senting Cuba, and on the island are
metal soldiers, some designated as Gu
bans while others represent Span
iards. Below the island is a spring
which. when pressed, causes the sol
diers to engage in a conflict. On a
small platform. which stands near the
tree, are a band of Indians and United
States regulars. which also engage in
battle. Merry y-go-rounds, fountains
that blow glass, and others pieces of
intricate workmanship are objects of
much interest. and since Christmas
over 500 people have called to see the
panorama. Mr. Bauer was a soldier in
the regular army and served in the
late war, and proudly boasts Of having
tasted three weeks during the cam
paign.
