scales, and the testing of this scale was the
principal object of our visit. As a prelim-
mary the weighing in scales were tested
first in the presence of all parties connected
with the house, and upon their being loaded
to their capacity 1t was found that the hop
per of the scale tilted" or settled over
against the window casing of the building and
caused bind" making discrepancy of
about 20 pounds in each draft of 5000 in
favor of the house. This bind was so plain
that it is wonder that it has escaped dis
covery by the party in charge. Upon the OBJ
struction being removed the scale was found
correct. Our attention was next given to the
weighing OUT scale, and L. was tested up
to 5000 pounds, which was the load OF the
other scale transferred to this one. With
only this load on the scales failed to respond
properly, and Mr.. Berry at once pronounced
them faulty; but darkness coming on further
Investigations were delayed until the next
morning Meantime orders were given the
men to load the scales with its usual load or
grain. say $1,000 less 1000 pounds to be used
erations the next morning 1t was found that
the scale could only be loaded up to 10000
pounds, that being all the grain they hao IN
store, which was disappointing to u.s. as we
wished to learn the full discrepancy or the
scale.
However, Mr. Berry made a thorough ex-
animation and discovered that with this Two
thirds load the hopper bound upon what we
call the sub-hopper, and, of course, prevent
ed an accurate weight being taken. and TINS
would result in a loss to the shipper. BUT
a further examination developed the fact
that the head of bolt bore upon one OF the
compensating weighing levers in such a
manner as to show a false increase IN
weight of Its contents, leading shipper TO
believe there was much more in the hop
per than there really was. Now the failure
to get full load into the scales would prove
a bar to ascertaining the discrepancy, as it
is apparent that the heavier the load the
more the discrepancy, etc. All this was point
ed out to Mr.. Stowe, the president of the
company, and to Mr.. Wahlbeater, the man.
ager, and upon the obstruction being removed
the scale tested absolutely correct The in
closed sketch may show to you what have
endeavored to make plain. In conclusion
would say that the parties expressed them
selves as perfectly satisfied with the results
of our effort to locate the trouble. Very
respectfully yours, r. G. Burdick,

PROF. SHAW,S LAMB,
Reporters Say, After Trying 1T, That
It's All Right.

One of Prof. Shaw's much talked of, fat
and juicy lambs was elegantly and elaborately
served to the members of the Reporters club
at midnight last night at Roxey Reber's cafe.
Mr.. Reber the host and the reporters
were his guests. Such sweet toothsome
succulent lamb never before graced ban
quet table in this part of the country. And
then the service and the trimmings-they
defy description and analysis. To say that
the scribes enjoyed the spread is to put it
conservatively. They consumed 1t in an
ecstasy of delight, not that they are unac-
customed to eating or unfamiliar with ordi-
nary lamb but such lamb, quite o'ercame
them.
The reporters having partaken of one of
Prof. Shaw's lambs, are now in a posi-
tion to settle the controversy between Prof.
Shaw and the butchers who recently
refused to buy his stock of fatted lambs.
The butchers insisted that the lambs were
too fat for this market, and Prof. Shaw in
sisted that the market was to blame, in that
stock was superior to that ordinarily offered.
Prof. Shaw made proposition to have one
of the lambs killed and served in order to
test the quality of the meat he guaranteeing
that 1T would be found that fair percentage
OF lean meat existed in proportion to the fat
The professor is all right, and his lamb is

FOR LITERARY STUDY.
Prof. Sprague-Smith Suggests New
Work for ST. Paul.


Prof Charles SpTague-Smith spoke before a
large and fashionable audience yesterday
afternoon, at the home of Mrs. R. M New
port, on Summit avenue. Prof. Sprague
Smiths address proved most interesting His
subject was Comparative Literature and his
ideas were along the lines that literature
should be studied by the development of Diff
ferent nations at different times
Prof Sprague-Smith was greeted previous
to the lecture by nearly 100 st. Paul women,
many OF them members Of the Century club.
