THE MALTsTER's TRUST
Organized Under the Direction of Sey-
mour scott with $40, 900 900 Capital.

Organized Under the Direction of Sey-
mour scott with $40, 100000 Capital.
The maltsters' trust has been completed
under the direction of Seymour Scott, pres
ident of the Scott Mailing company of
Lyons, y. Y. whose wife was formerly
Miss Mary Atkins well-known Brattle-
boro girl. Mr.. SCOTS work during the
past few months undoubtedly means
large fortune for him. +. r. Chapman,
the broker who was imprisoned in Wash
inglon for refusing to answer questions on
the alleged dealings of the United States
senators in sugar trust stock, has had
charge of the financial arrangements. The
houses in the deal will represent an annual
product of 25,000,00 bushels of malt on
which there is a profit of over 81, 600, 900 a
year
The trust proposes to increase the profit
by centralizing the manufacture and stop
ping the present competitive buying of
barley. Instead of operating all of the
small houses, it is proposed TO make all the
malt in the cities of Chicago, Milwaukee,
st. Louis. Philadelphia and New York.
The maltsters expect to compel are duction
in the price of barley, because, instead of
the sharp bidding for the better grades
that now keeps the price up, the trust will
be practically the only bidder, and the
farmer will be obliged to accept a lower
price. The maltsters also expect to econo-
mize in management and in other ways,
so that the profits will be increased to a
considerable extent. The name is the
American Mailing Company. Its capital
stock will be $50, 000,0 00 divided into 10,
600, 900 preferred and an equal amount OF
common stock. Seven per cent interest
will be guaranteed on the preferred. 1t is
said that j. Pierpont Morgan Il Co., are
| interested as guarantors of the bonds
pending the completion of the organiza
ton. The Cunard Steamship company is
mentioned as a heavy subscriber of the
| glucose trust, which is said to be behind
the combination of maltsters, as glucose
and malt are used in beer making. If the
malt trust proves to be a success, the often
talked of beer trust may be organized.

A Girl of VVtll-KnOwn south NewGame
Family Makes II Great Success as an
Actress.
Miss Sara Perry, a young woman who
has spent several summers at South New
fame the early home of her father, is
one of the notable stage successes of,
the year. Miss Perry has often visited
i'm Brattleboro with her cousin, Mrs. Geo.
b. White.
The New York Herald says of her APP
pearance in a leading role: "rhere was a
new Edith Varney in the cast of Secret
Service at the Empire theatre last week,
and not few persons who had seen the
performance of other actresses in the role
were inclined to think that Miss Sara Per
nv gave fully as finished and artistic an i'm
PRESERVATION of thL character as did any of
her more experienced predecessors.
zone often hears young men and young
women who have failed TO make their way
on the stage complain that it is because
they have no infuence-nO pull with the
managers. Talent alone, they say, counts
for nothing Miss Perry's experience, how
ever, goes to prove the erroneousness Of
this impression. She came to New York
two years ago from ST. Louis and applied
to Mr.. Frohman for an engagement She
had had no experience she admitted, but
she was willing to begin at the bottom and
work her way up. Her looks and her
manner, her evident eaInestness of pur-
pose pleased the manager and he took her
into the Empire stock company as an Eek
ira lady
"She did whatever she was given to do
well and carefully, and gradually as she
gained experience she was intrusted with
small parts and even allowed to undeIstudy
some of the lighter roles. In Under the
Red Robe last season she appeared as
Nine. Eaton, the innkeeper, and later on
as Nine. Cocheforet. She was known
then as Miss Jane Harwar. This season
when Dir Frohman began to look about
him for an Edith Narney, he bethought
himself at once Of Miss Perry, and deter
mined to give her trial. How well she
stood the test every one who saw the play
last we TX knows, and Mr.. FrOhman has
decided to continue her in the part the rest
OF the season."
The New York sun and other papers
compliment Miss Perry very highly. The
Sun says she makes more of the character
than Miss Amy Busby or Miss Blanche
Walsh.
