SIR-Let this fair city be rescued from
its notorious condition of debauchery and
crime, enact righteous laws, and let us
see that they are executed. IL you IL
cense crime, you may logically expect to
graduate criminals. Your prisons and re-
formatory institutions will be filled to
oyerfiowfng. Today the people of the
State are called upon to build an extern
sion to their State Prison, costing not
less than 800, 900. Why? Because the sa-
loon and the traffic in liquid poison IL
permitted and protected by State and
municipal law, and thousands and tens
of Thousands of your sons and daugh-
ters become the depraved and besotted
victim of its degrading and soul-destroy-
ing influence. So long as this condition
exists, prisons and institutions for re-
forming criminals must be continually
Increased in number and capacity, and
vour h uses will be menaced by those
who have become brutalized and made
desperate by the unholy alliance OF rum
and law.
Wipe out this hydra-headed monster,
the greatest curse TO civilization, to So
ciety. and TO good government, on the
face OF the globe. Close the saloon and
make the traffic in rum in this city a

SILVERSMITHS INDICTED.
Accused of Selling Debased Silver as Ster-
ling--They Pleaded Yesterday.

The grand jury OF New York filed
indictments against leading silverware
manufacturers for violation of the silver
stamping act, which requires all silver
ware stamped "sterling" to be .925 hna
The firms indicted are Tiffany & Co., the
Gorham Manufacturing Company, the
Whiting Manufacturing Company, Frank
ii. Whiting of 4. M. Whiting a Co. :,
Robert G. Black and Aaron B. Frost OF
Black, Starr Il Frost, Theodore B. Starr
and George W. Schiebler OF George M.
Scbiebler & Co. They pleaded to the i'm
dictments yesterday. None of the per-
sons indicted appearedin court, as the dis
trict attorney took into consideration the
fact that they were all responsible per-
sons and he did not cause warrants of ar
rest to bc issued. Mr.. McCurdy said that
his clients told him that they were not
aware of any violation OF the law on their
part, and 1t was possible that an error
had been made.
The indictments are the result OF war
between the large department stor es and
the silversmths. Several months ago the
grand jury indicted the proprietors of
several department stores for selling IL
legally stamped and debased silverware,
and IL is said that the indictments were
procured az the instigation of the silver
smiths. The complaints from which
the indictments filed resulted were pre-
sented to the grand jury by Il. W. Bloom
ingdale OF New York representing the
department stores. Oscar Stesel a sales
man in his employ, visited all the silver
smiths named and bought cuff buttons,
coin holders, pencils, and other articles,
which, IL Is alleged, were marked "sterl-
ing" but proved after assay to be below
the standard required by law.
The following statement was issued by
the Retail Dry Goods Association of III
Fifth avenue:
1.-THE Indictment OF the jewelers., and
more particularly OF the Gorham Manu-
featuring Company, must surprise every
person who has followed the course of
these firms during the past year. When
the indictments were found year ago
against some OF the department stores of
New York, the jewelers. were loud in
their denunciation OF the wicked dry
goods men, and equally loud in the
boasts that they would always be found
immaculate. As n matter of fact, the dry
goods men were indicted because the
Jewellers had suffered so greatly from the
competition which had cut their enormous
profits that they took advantage OF an
unreasonable law TO attempt to brighten
the dry goods men. The penalty under
the existing law for selling silverware
that ~ not up 10 the standard which Il ~
marked IL greater than for any other
similar offence. The dry goods men are,
and have been quite as anxious TO protect
the public as the jewellers have pretended
TO be, but they must naturally depend
upon the representations OF the manu-.
facturers from whom they purchase their
goods, and cannot themselves know the

aside, made his way with an almost
incredible swiftness across the fen,
taking the bitches with huge grotesque
strides. Enderby looked back and
watched him for moment curiously.
