TRADE IN CANDY.
The Business of Supplying Confectionery
to Our People Grows Fast.

The Business of Supplying Confectionery
to Our People Grows Fast.
A candid but not complimentary Eng
fish tourist, in writing his "reminiscences,
some years ago, of his travels in the
United States, alluded to the people of
America as "a nation of candy EATERS,
seeming to imply thereby that more cam
dy in proportion to the population was
eaten in the United States than in any
other country.
In fact, this criticism of the English
traveller was inaccurate, for not only does
the amount Of candy eaten in the United
States bear a modest proportion to the
amount consumed, per capita, in other
lands, but a considerable amount of
American candy is exported to other
countries. In 1895 the United States ex-
ported CANDY valued at $712,552, and in
1896 the export was worth $8OO,OOO. In
1890 there were 1921 candy establish
ments, employing 27,212 hands, at an ex-
pense of $11 1888, 446 in wages. The
value of the product was $55, 1891, 1O1.
The market for American candy has
been widened by the systematic develop
ment of the sugar interests of the United
States and by the tariff regulations de-
signed to exclude from the American
market, as much as possible, the impor-
tation of foreign confectionery. Before
the adoption of the so-called Mckinley
tariff bill in 1890 the custom house duty
on sugar, canday and confectionery, in
Guiding chocolate" was 5 cents a pound,
but by the Mckinley tariff bill it was
raised to II cents a pound. Under the
Wilson tariff bill tariff of 35 per cent
ad valorem was introduced. The facili
ties for manufacturing candy in this
country are numerous and important
There is, first of all, an abundance O.
sugar. The other ingredients are al
available, and there is an enormous HON
market for candy in the United States
Veracious historians give figures in COZ
roboration of their contention that
the beginning Of this century the city
Philadelphia was the headquarters of th
American confectionery trade and ha
more than twelve establishments devote
to the manufacture Of candies. New
York and Boston came next, but TO,
more, than half century Philadelphi.
kept the lead, and even at present Phila
delphia candies are among experts wha
Baltimore oysters are among lovers O.

the United States was for considerabl
time in the hands of Frenchmen, but
has now almost passed into the contr'
of Low Germbans of Plattdeutschers.-

A party of out-of-town gentlemen who

Sagacity of Horses.

In the year 1872, during a skirmish
with the Sioux Indians, the Third United
States cavalry formed an encampment
in a valley on the southern border OF
Dakota. At nightfall the horses were
tethered by a long line to the ground
Toward daybreak a violent storm OF
rain and hail burst over the valley, when
the terrified animals broke loose from
their fastenings and tore away, up the
tory of the enemy. Without horses, al
the mercy of the enemy, we would have
been lost; yet it was impossible, in the
darkness, to go after them into an I'M
known country, proba bly, full of Indians.
The commanding officer as last re
source, ordered the stable call to be
sounded. In a few minutes every horse
had returned to the encampment, and we
were -Thierfreund.

Dr. Williams Pink Pills are not looked
upon as a patent medicine, but rather as
a prescription. An analysis of their prop
critics shows that they contain, in con-
densed form, all the elements necessary
to give new life and richness to the blood
and restore shattered nerves. They are
an unfailing specific for such diseases as
locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis, ST.
Vitus' dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheuma-
tism, nervous headache, the after effects
of la grippe, palpitation Of the heart, pale
and sallow compilations, and the tired
feeling resulting from nervous prostra-
ton, all diseases resulting from vitiated
humors in the blood, such as scrofula,
chronic erysipelas, etc. They are also a
specific for troubles peculiar to females,
such as suppressions, Irregularities and
all forms of weakness. They build up
the blood, and restore the glow of health

@A Curious Electrical Accident.

T1 A Curious Electrical ACCIQent.
The power house at Thirteenth and
Mount Vernon streets, Philadelphia,
from which the Union Traction COM
pany operated a half dozen of it's lines
of trolley cars, was destroyed by fire on
the evening of March 3.
About 6 O'Clock some of the employees
were swinging a big crane around, and
the iron chain hanging from the arm
struck a generator. The blow smashed
the generator and a violent explosion fol
lowed The breaking of the generator
blew out every circuit and wrecked all
the dynamos which were running.
Following the explosion, fire started
and Quilted the building and destroyed
the eight dynamos or rendered them use
less. The dynamos were the property of
the Westinghouse Electric company, as
the traction company said that they were
not working properly, and had therefore
never accepted them, and the Westing
house company were running them at
their own expense, pending some decision
in the matter. The loss is about $780,
600, principally on the valuable machin-
cry in the building. The power house
was large brick structure, covered
third Of the block, and contained eight
dynamos and other valuable machinery.
