ANOTHER GREAT TRUST.
Maltsters and Beer Brewers Attempt
ing TO Form "a Gigantic Combination.

CHICAGO. Sept. 10.-It is learned here
that the men who We're the principal pro-
motors in the big mailing company which
was formed in New York a few days ago
are the Milwaukee maltsters and brewers
Instead of being a simple combination of
maltsters, it appears that the brewers are
also interested in the combination, and that
II is to be conducted on such a gigantic
scale that it will virtually control the brew
ing business of the country. The American
Mailing Company, as the new combine is
to be known, will have a capital of $50 0oO,-
900. instead of SIS, 000 900, as was announced
from New Yor's Half of this stock will
be preferred, and on this there is a guar
antee it will pay per cent. annual divi-
dends 1t cannot be learned here who are
the brewers outside of this city who are
interested, but it is claimed that there are
a number of Chicago and st. Louis con-
Germs interested The American Mailing
Company, in course of time will centralize
the manufacture of malt in such places as
Chicago, Milwaukee. st. Louis Phlladel-
phia and New York. All the smaller plants
will be closed down. In this way it is cal
culated that millions OF dollars will be
saved annually and will go to swell the
large profits which are already made by
many manufacturers of beer. One of the
Aat iroSALiS ShSSeo nHlSh the promoters
wish TO bring about is the control of the
barley market. There is sharp competition
between the maltsters at the present time
to get the best barley on the market, and
they force prices up, but when the new
company will be the only big bidder in the
market it is claimed that it can determine
what the farmers will get for their barley
Herman Nunnemacher, of Milwaukee, was,
il is said. the agent of the Milwaukee con-
Germs who brought about the formation of
the trust. Frederick Pabst was evaSive
when asked about the matter, but finally
said it may be that big brewing companies
will take stock in the ney mailing COM
pany. The leading brewers of the country
have for years been interested in the malt
ing companies of the country as they
form an important part of the brewing
business. He would not say more, but
had been formed and the brewers are in

close around the cigarette. They are very
convenient little affairs, especially when
one Is playing cards.
"Of course. you know that very few
women now like to smoke ready-flled ciga-
rettes and as some of them object to
touching the tobacco l bought little i'm
ported machine which fills them very rap
idly. All you have TO do is to put the to-
bacco in this little box, slip in the ciga-
rette paper tubes, turn the. handle, and
your cigarette comes out perfectly filled.
Many women who fill their own ciga-
rettes have their papers stamped with their
monogram in silver and gold. Some of
them have the ends tipped. Almost any of
the shops that make q speciality of keeping
womens smoking materials have this
on the thousand slips. Some of my friends
prefer white rice paper, while others prefer
the corn paper. which is a delicate shade
OF yellow. Some girls contend that fancy
paper has nothing to do with the flavor
of a cigarette and insist using the
margin of newspapers or any sort of pa
per that comes to hand. OF course, beauti-
full cigarettes may be bought already filed
with any and all brands of tobacco, but
they are not nearly so good as those we
roll. Some girls touch the edge of the pa
per with their tongues to make them ad-

THE majority of women, l am sure all my

THE PASSING OF GRAPE.
Heavy Mourning Less Frequently
Seen than Formerly.
Philadelphia Times.

FnllduelpHld IliueS
A casual observation of the great world
of women passing in review on the public
thoroughfares would cause to think
that the feminine heart did not let grief
weigh on it as heavily as of yore, and that
sorrow had grown old-fashioned and
mourning a discarded habit
The heavily draped sable figure Swathed
in Grape from head to toe is rarely seen
any more. The deep Grape veil that once
was thought the necessary outward indi-
cation of inward woe has passed. to Join
a multitude Of other similarly ridiculous
and unhealthy modes that women have
discarded when their common sense and
their family physician have Joined in a
despotic embargo.
To show the proper respect to the MEM
DRY of ones dead is commendable and in
touch with all the finer instincts supposed
to be possessed by the gentler sex, but
the depth of grief cannot be gagged by the
thickness of the veil or the quality of the
Grape, and 1t is as likely that just as heavy
sensible outer covering of somber hue as
was ever hidden beneath the hideous veil
that made its wearer look like some grue-
some mummy in an assemblage of animated
mortals. Many woman has sacrificed her
health to a mistaken notion of respect to
the dead indicated by the thickness of the
Grape which hid her sorrowful eyes from
the gaze of an unfeeling world.
Tears and dye have wrought sad havoc
with many fair face, and it is pleasant
TO note that at last common sense has
gained the ascendancy over sentimental
tradition. The passing of the Grape veil is
one of the most commendable departures
from the conVentionality of fashion that
the thinking woman has yet made.
