RARE CASE OF BUSINESS HONOR
Amos r. Emo OF New York Pays 100000
to Settle Debts of War Time Failure.

to Settle Debts of War Time Failure.
The most remarkable case of busi-
ness honesty and conscienti0isness
ever known has come to light In the
action of Amos +. Emo of New York,
who, at an estimated outlay Of $780,
600, is paying Off old claims against a
firm in which he was n member, ana
which failed two weeks after the out
break of the civil war. Before the war
Amos Il. Emo, now of the Fifth Ave-
nue. hotel, was the head of the FIRM
of Emo, Roberts, Rhoades & Co. In
1857 his son. Amos II. Emo, succeeded
to his fathers interest. In 1859 the
firm dissolved. and was succeeded by
the firm of Emo, Beuren 4 Valentine,
Amos +. Emo being ut its head. 1t
did most extensive business In Hicks
dry goods, Its customers being almost
entirely in the South.
At the outbreak OF the war the
southern merchants refused to settle
their balances. Many firms crashed.
and two weeks after Fort Sumter was
fired upon the firm of Emo, Benr.n &
Valentine went down. The stock and
business were sold, and the proceeds
prorated among the creditors, who
gladly signed release on receipt of
the small dividend thus secured. The
firm passed out of memory, but after
the war Mr.. Emo re-cmbarked IN busl-
ness and prospered.
Nothing more was ever thO1ght OF
the old firm and its debts until quite
recently. when Mr. Emo began uistrib.
uting checks among the old creditors
of his firm, with interest at 1 per cent.
since 1861. He cnjoined confidence on
the receipt of each check, but the exhi-
bition was such a rare one that the
news leaked out. Mr.. Emo positively
refuses to say word about l.. Many
of those who have received tie checks
know nothing about the old claims. be-
Ing sons, nephews and grandchildren
of the original creditors of the old
firm, and the books in which the Old
accounts were kept having been de-
stroyed. They can only take Mr. Eno's
word for the fact that he owes them

Old sumptuarx Laws.

Mr.. Burdett- Coutts, NJ. P, in an adj
dress delivered before the English Uni
yersal Cookery and Food association,
called attention to the sumptuary laws
of the fifteenth century. Then it was
enacted that, food being necessary to
the sustenance Of man, the seller had no
right to ask his own price, but it was
the duty OF the state to fix it. In the
same century equal supervision was ex-
ercised over cooks. They were ordered
to make their meat well seasoned aud
wholesome and sell it for a reasonable
winning, and that they reboil or rebake
no meat in hurt of the kings people. -
The mayor of town in those days, up
on entering Office, was obliged to swear
that he would exercise yigilant super
vision over bakers, brewers. tavern
keepers. cooks and such people. This
was no perfunctory oversight, but the
official exercised his authority with
great severity in cases where cooks and
dealers i'll food and drink failed Of their
duty.

why consulates Are Popular.

IL 10 we'll known that the pressure for
consnlates is greater than for any other
class of Offices. Various causes contrib
ute to this desire to go abroad. Repre-
sentative Hit thinks he has the true
theory. "It is the women folks he
says. NYou know how it is Brown or
Jones or Smith, when he has means
and leisure, likes to take his family
abroad. When they come back, his wife
and daughters are filled with their ex-
periences. The whole town is fred with
emulation.
Now, John Jones may not have the
means to take his family to Europe,
but he has influence in politics. When
the political wheel turns and his party
is up, he looks around to see what the
reward for his services shall be. Left to
himself, he would probably be content
with tho postofffoe. But his wife and
daughters have had to listen to what
the Brown women or the Smith women
say of life abroad, and, womenlike,
they have listened with envy and with
fixed purpose some day to enjoy those
experiences for themselves So instead
of letting John Jones ask for the post
SAASS, ehCy iuoiou tuao ITO Iuusb 10 u Gull
sui somewhere. Their ideas may be a
little indefinite about the nature and
duties Of consul's office, but they
know it means going abroad, and that
is enough for them.
So John Jones makes out his applica-
ton to be consul general to Paris and
writes his congressman that, while
Paris is his first choice, ne will take
something equally good, but it must be
abroad. And thus, says Representative
Hit, care the lives of congressman
made burden for the first six months
after new administration comes into
power. By that time the consulates arc
all disposed of, and the disappointed
applicants can return to the postoffices. -
