QUESTION OF LOSS.
The shipper Of Freight ON Ocean Steam
ere Stands the Chance Of Less.

The general average made up on the
cargo OF wrecked steamer ID hard OF
comprehension TO the ordinary mind, and
sometimes there is protest entered
Such protest was being registered yes-
terday afternoon in the Office OF the Pa
cihc Coast Steamship Company by
woman who had shipped personal effects
and furniture valued At SIS o.. the steam
ship Umatilla.
Sac was required to pay not only The
freight on her goods, but also her portion
or the general Insurance average. and
then received her goods in a damaged con-
dition- She could not underraan she said.
why she should be compelled to pay more
for the delivery Of her goods in a dam
aged condition than had they arrived as
they were shipped. THAT is because you
lost your goods and we went to the ex-
pense of saving them'' returned the
clerk, who was holding up the other end
or the argument This was a new idea
to the lady and she smiled blandly. ''Oh.
i am paying you for saving them. am IT,
she said. well. who Is responsible for
their fossT The clerk didn't know. He
shrugged his shoulders and muttered
something about fate, providence and the
crinipotent power OF the oceans god. and
evidently felt that there should rest all
the blame
But the woman was far from satisfied
She had shipped clothing, linen, silver,
books. pictures and music. and the ship
ping bill carried all the way through to
Butte. Everything was undoubtedly ru-
incd save the silver. The clerk told her
1t was United States law that governed
such cases.
1T may be law" she said, but 1t is
certainly not equity" She wanted 10 see
tho goods and find whether IL would be
worth while to throw away money on
them. The goods were at Port Tovnsen. :.
the clerk said. and IL she wanted to look
at them she must 30 there. II she decided
she did not want the goods they would be
sold at auction with the rest OF the I'M
redeemed cargo. The woman decided that
before taking any steps in the matter enc
would have legal advice on the subject.
This ID the last time shall ship any
thing by water" che said, as she went
out Of the door. If send anything by
rail and there Is collision I am not called
upon TO stand the loss. 1t Is borne by the
railroad company. isn't IT." The clerk dii
not know, but he knew what United States
law said where \ steamship was wrecked.
and that was tho only thing to be consii-
cred in this case.
As matter Of fact. on the back 1f the
shipping receipts Of the company II q
printed agreement that the shipper alb
solves the company for all losses by FIRE,
THEFT. shipwreck, etc. and the lady who
was making the protest had signed one OF
those receipts.

Of glass and then passed out 90 sacks TO
his confederate. who lowered them into q
boat The entire job was done without q
hitch. save that one bunch OF sacks fell
into the water and had to be towed. owing

According TO tho confession Of Raskey
to Onlcer Glascock. they slept In the boat
Thursday night and yesterday made their
Ainsworth 4 Dunn's wharf. where they

Giaecock arrested them on suspicion ana
took them to police headquarters. Subse-
Qusnt Investigation brought to Hight the
fact that about the same number Of sacks
which the boys had In their possession had
bosn stolen from the Bay View brewery.
Armed with these facts. 0iascock visited
his prisoners and soon had confession
from Raskey. Raskey said that Newman

r,espockets pid Not WORK.

One Of tho remarkable things In connec-
ton with the big parade night before last
was the absence Of phckpcckess. The
streets were crowded with people. and
clever man could have roaped harvest
Of pocket bcoks. even II there was little
money In them.
Mrs. Ron Crawford lost her purse sr thu
street. but II was found by an ofSseer ana
returned. In the purse was diamond
pin. Mrs. Snyder left her cape and
purse. In watch was money. at the Ar
mory. ye, II was found and returned.
Acting Chief Hoxie said last evening
that there had not been . report OF
burglary committed while the parade ana
meetings were In progress. Another thing
worthy Of note Is that the police did not
Rave to make an arrest Tor fighting or as
uauh and battery.

TINE sAMPLISG METHOD.


How the Manufacturer Reaches the
People Through the Food shows.
The ''samp,inx method In introducing
eoocs or In retaining trade once won II
the style most believed In and under
taken by the big food product manufac-
turers OF the United States. When supple
n,ented with thorough daily and weekly
newspaper advertising II is 50 effective
that many firms today owe their millions
OF net capital 70 these combined methods.
There Is enc baking powder concern Of
the East that expenis each year 100000
in advertising In papers. and one-foursh
as much on handsome cook books and
samples 10 be given out 10 the house,
keepers
It was this sampilng that brought about
the establishment OF the food exposition.
II required weeks to effectively visi, each
private house ana large corps OF men or
women at very big cost. with an imper-
fect knowledge. when completed. whether
thsse distributors had faithfully and hon.
estiy carried out their part OF the contract
or not
In a food exposition these firms were en-
ableo not only 70 give out sample pack
ages. tins or boxes OF their uncooked
goods. but they could also give away the
prepared and cooked product, served daln-
tiiy and correctly. thus giving the house.
wives an opportunity 10 also learn OF the
proper method in cooking the articles as
wei as facts concerning results obtained
from its use. II was found that nearly
every woman In city visited at least once
the food exposition. ana therefore they
reached all homes without mourning the
great expense OK q house toulouse canvass
and samplinx
In Seattle. Of course the food exposition
- an unknown service TO manufacturers
ana dealers. but with the enterprise that
usually eharactertzss Seattle business men
they AZ once grSSped the idea. and taking
liberal floor spaces proceeded 20 make as
creditabe display as those TO be made by
any Eastern firms. In fact. the choicest
locations In the hall will 60 70 home pro-
duct dealers
The Seattle food exposition can be set
DOWN a. a success. and while due credit
for originating and furnishing the plans
and Ideas mast be given to Manager Buck
ley, yet the energetic labors of the local
retail grocers and members OF the Grocers
and Fruit Dealers Exchange have made
II possible TO hold this exhibition here in
Seattle. The displays win consist OF clsoco-
lases. cocoas. baking powders, coffee.
spices. -four. various cereals. cakes. crack
ers. candies. fruits. preserves, canned and
bottled table delIcacies OILS salt, etc. and
the booths will nearly all be fitted I'D for
