PAPER sAcs ii MO 4 j ssIlA ARD fiiIMEs.

One Industry That Thrives on Conili-
tiOns That wreck Others. lss b 5 &
The manufaeture Of paper bags is an
industry which depends largely on its
prosperity to q prevailing dition Of
hard times The more stringent the
financial pressure becomes, the more
paper bags are used, says the Chicago
Chronicle. In the grocery stores GUS
toners will come in who, instead of
ordering q bushel Of potatoes, will or
der a quart Of potatoes and carry them
home in a paper bag. Groceries Of all
kinds are purchased ID small guam titles,
and the paper bag is used almostaex
clusively to do up, not only groceries,
but fruit, vegetables and candies. "a
customer in hard times will drop in
and buy half a pound of tea. In a few
days he win come in again and buy
another half pound. n good times he
would have bought a couple Of pounds,
and one bag would have wrapped it up.
It is so with all kinds Of groceries and
everything purchasable for which pa
per bags can be used, and the only real
complaint which will be found coming
from the paper bag manufacturers will
be. on the occasion Of prosperous times
coming on us again. The paper bag
mills are doing a thriving business now,
and until the growing evidences Of
prosperity culminate in a general re-
sumption Of business activity through
out the country, they will not lack for
q constant and large demand for their
goods. But when the mechanic begins
to buy potatoes by the bushel, apples
by the peck, coffee by five-pound pack
ages and flour by the barrel, then the
paper bag will hide it's diminished head
and prosperity be with us once more. p

THE MAYOR IN JAIL.
How the Executive OF New York Came

How the Executive Of New York Came
to Be Sent Up. : Bay
Judge M. May, of this city, was once
Instrumental in sending William Z.
Strong, now mayor of New York city,
to the county Jail for six weeks, says the
Mansfield (O.) News. At that time
Manuel May wasn't a judge, and Strong,
who is now known all over the country
by reason OF. the figure he has cut in
New York politics, was not mayor OF.
New York. The judge, when ques-i
toned in regard to the matter, readily
gave the incident as he remembered it:
It was 80 years ago, and I was i
notary public in those days. was di-
rected to take some dispositions in a.
case. in which there was an alleged
fraud in regard to some financial mat
ters. Strong refused to answer some,
questions, as he, think, had received
the information on certain points in.
confidence. He was obstinate, and lex
ercised my prerogatiye and sent him to
Jail. Strong moved in what was con-
sidered the elite of Mansfield society
in those days, and they stuck, to him
through his term Of imprisonment. The
town was about divided on the propo-
sition as to whether it was right to send
him to Jail. Strong had a real nice
time while he was in Jail. His friends
visited him every day and helped him
pass away the hours. Finally, after
Strong had been locked up for six.
weeks, a higher court concluded that
he had had enough and he was re-.
leased

The Great Writer Is Simple, Quiet and
Modest. jt@s
If, meeting him without knowing
who he was, had been asked to divine
his profession would have said he
was a retired army general or a profes-,
sor of physics and mathematics or a
cabinet officer-never an artist, says a
writer in the Chautauquan Of Jules
Verne. He does not show the burden of
his almost 80 years; he has somewhat
of Verdi's build, with serious, kindly
face, no artist-like vivacity in look or
word, very simple manners, the i'm
print Of great sincerity in every fleet
ing manifestation Of feeling and
thought, the language, the bearing, the
manner Of dress of a man who con
siders appearances of absolutely no ac-
count. My first sensation after the.
pleasure Of seeing him was one of stupe-
faction. Apart from the friendly look
and the affable demeanor could rec
ognize nothing in common with the
Verne who stood before me and the one
that had place in my imagination.
My wonder even increased when, in-.
duced to speak about his works, he
spoke Of them with an abstracted air,
as he would have done of some one else's
writings, or rather Of things in which
entered no merit Of his as he would
have spoken of collection Of engrav-.
ings or coins he had acquired, and with
which he occupied himself more from
the necessity of doing something than
from any passion for the art. 3S

Fisheries Trusrto be- Formed

gF
l5Ssss3s Fisheries Trust 10 be Formed. ~
Duluth Herald ! a New York dispatch
received BY The Herald today says that
q comb bination is said to be on the point
of completion between the dealers i'd the
product of the fresh water fisheries ip
The United States and Canada which will
practically control the supply This
will doubtless be of conside interest
to those engaged il the fish business in
this vicinity, for there Would seem to be
every reason to believe that the new
trusts field will extend over Lake Su-
perior.
The combination is said to be backed
largely BY English capital. Edwin Cor
bin, a Detroit and Chicago lawyer. who
has advised the interests concerned IN
the business, when questioned last even
ing in New York, admitted that the fish
trust was about to be formed. The OBJ
ject, he said, is not to put up the price
unreasonably, but to save the food fish
of the lakes from destruction. White
fish have been practically exterminated
in Lake Erie and Lake Huron. The
combination will control the handling Of
150, 100000 pounds Of fish a year, or 85
per cent Of the total catch. It will be
incorporated under the la US Of New Jer-
sey or West Virginia with some such
title as the American Fishing and Trad
ing company. The capital stock will be
$5O00,O00. A large part Of it will be
taken by English investors. It is under
stood that the A. Booth Packing COM
pany will enter the agreement with w.
p. Davis, of Buffalo, who is also largely
interested in lake fisheries. ss 55ss
Resident Manager John Coventry Of
the Booth Packing company, when
shown the above, said that it was the
first he had heard of the scheme. He
said be did not think the Booth COM
pany was interested in it.

A GOOD Bill.

Represent tative Hartshorn has intro
duced q bill of special interest to the
northern counties of the state. The bill
is 81. f. 800 and provides that where
there is pine or other timber standing
upon any lands 10 this state against
which taxes shall have been levied and
remained unsolicited, such taxes shall
be and constitute lien against the TIM
ber SO standing thereon at the time of
assessment for such taxes. If such tim
Der or any portion thereof shall have
been cut and removed from said lands
after the time Of assessment andsbefore
said taxes became delinquent such lien
may be enforced against such timber or
logs produced therefrom, the same ais
now provided by law for collection Of de.
linquent personal property taxes, and
by attachment Of said logs at the in
stance Of the board OF county commis-
ssloners Of the county wherein the lands
lie. 5sss.
The people Of the northern part Of the
state should use their influence in sup.
port OF this bill as such i law Is badly
needed. Itis the custom Of the lnmber-
men TO purchase pine lands and hold
them for years without paying the taxes.
When the proper time comes they strip
the land OF its wealth and let it revert to
the state for the taxes. There is no rea-
son Why they should not be made to pay
their taxes before strip piping the land oi
its yalne.

5Excitement Has Reached Cook County.
The mining excitement caused by re-
cent rich Developments in the Rainy
Lake and Seine River country, says the
Duluth Evening Herald, has extended
eastward into American territory in Cook
county and considerable exploring and
prospecting is being carried on there.
For years it has been known that many
kinds of valuable minerals have existed
IN Cook county, fire specimens of gold,
silver, copper, nickel and platinum, hav--
ing been brought out from time to time.
Practically no development work has
ever been done there, however, but own
ers Of property have been greatly en-
oouraged al the discoveries made to the
north and east of them, where they claim
surface indications were not better than
can be found in numerous places in Cook
county. Il. .... :. ~.
Two firms in Minneapolis have for
some time been purchasing cptious on
Cook county mineral lands and they
promise to do large amount of explor-
ing during the coming summer. They
are more particularly interested in nickel
mining, however, and claim to have OBJ
tained some remarkable assays in nickel
from the iron ore beds. The report of
the likelihood of a railrood being built
into the mineral country back of Grand
Marais has also had the effect of stimu-
lating interest in that region. and the
older residents of the isolated Lake Su-
perior town, who have waited patiently
for more than quarter of a century for
capital to come 10 their assistance in de-
veloping the resources that they are SO
confident exisr, are elated at the pros
poets and can now almost hear the
screech of the locomotives hauling valu-
able cargoes to and from the docks to be
built on the hsrbor front.
