MILK TRUST ORGANIZED.
Incorporated in New Jersey with n
Capital Stock OF $l5.000,000.

Especial to The Jersey City News
TRENTON, Dec. 90, 1s97.-A certificate
of incorporation was filed yesterday in the
office of the Secretary of State by the Farm
and Dairy Product Company of Jersey City.
The corporation will nave a capital of $751;
DOC, 600. John H. Symmetrical, of Brooklyn:
Samuel B. Lawrence, Of New York City;
Francis B. Lowry, of New York City:
Burnham C. Stickney, of Elizabeth. and
Henry E.. Everdell, of Brooklyn, are the
incorporators.
This Incorporation is the result of the
aMilk Trust" which has for several months
been in process of organization. The capital
comes partly from England, while the rest
has been subscribed principally in New
York.
Arrangements have been made whereby
farmers who now supply milk to the dealers
will supply the syndicate exclusively.
On the authority of John Gilmore, the
organizer of the syndicate, it is announced
that the retail price, instead of being in
creased, will be reduced. The syndicate, it
is asserted, will be enabled to do this because
of the economy mad possible by the
organized system of delivering milk. Mr..
Gilmore says there are now nearly four
thousand wagons engaged daily in delivery
Of milk in New York City. With the new
system they will be able to supply an equal
number of customers with 1000 wagons.
Routes will be laid out, and with a system
Of organization much better service can be
given to customers than has been possible in
the past. 1t will, therefore, be readily
seen that an immense saving is possible.
Figuring on the present price of milk at
six cents per quart, Mr.. Gilmore estimates
that the trust could cut the prices exactly in
half and still do business at a profit.
Concerning the effect Of the trust upon
the producer, Mr.. Gilmore says.-aThe
farmers, too, who send the milk to town
will also be benefited. It is the intention of
the syndicate to pay the farmers more money
for milk than they at present receive. We
shall expect them to supply q better quality
OF milk and to ship it in better shape than at
present. The system of feeding cattle wesin-
tend shall be improved upon. and as this,
Of course, may entail a slightly greater ex-
pense to the farmer, we shall expect to pay
him a correspondingly higher price for his
milk than at present.

With the object OF making practi
cal test as to the value of the search
light as a protection for the entrance
of a harbor, series of experiments
have been conducted at Plymouth,
England. The torpedo fotilla, at
tached to that port. tried to enter the
harbor without being discovered by
the military forces on land AS the
torpedo destroyers came within the
range OF the well-defned area of the
searchlight beam, they were at first

preached the forts they were distinct

The Customs Observed in Proposals

The Customs Observed in Proposals
Amoung the Peasants.
There is an old custom prevailing
among the Tyrolese regarding propos-
ais of marriage, says the Philadelphia
Times. The first time young man
pays a visit as avowed lover he brings
with him a bottle of wine, of which
he pours out a glass and presents it to
the object of his desires. If she ac-
cepts it the whole affair is settled.
Very often the girl has not made up
her mind and then she will take refuge
in excuses, so as not to drink the wine
and yet net refuse it point blank, for
that is considered gross insult, prov
ing that she has been merely trifing
with the affections of her lover She
will, for instance, maintain that the
wine 'looks sour" that wine disagrees
with her, or that she is afraid of get
ting tipsy, or that the priest has for
bidden her to take any; in fact, she
makes use Of any subterfuge that pre-
sents itself at that moment. The pur-
port OF these excuses is that she has
not come to a decision and that the
wine-offering is premature This
strange custom, dating very far back
according to one account it was known
as early as the ninth century,, is call
ed "bringing the wine" and is synony-
nous with the act of proposing. Shy
lovers, loath to make sure of their case
beforehand, find it very happy insti-
tuition. Not d word need be spoken and
the girl is spared the painful mo" of
civilization. If any of the wine is
spilled rthe glass or bottle broken it
is considered a most unhappy omen;
in fact, there is a peasants saying for
an unhappy marriage, "They have
spilled the wine between them"

Thk Unique Parable Is Strictly Up tc

There was certain non woman who
had two daughters, and the younger
said unto the mother: Mother, yield
unto me that portion of your wealth
which is my heritage" And her moth
er did even SO, observes the New York
Herald. And it came to pass that the
young woman gathered together heT
bicycle repair kit and her heritage am,
journeyed into a far country, which
was Kansas, the land of cyclones anl
emancipated women. And the multi
tudes of emancipated women gathereL
about her in exceeding great number
and gave unto her the merry hand, TO.
she was possessed of exceeding grea
wealth. Moreover, they were strucA
with the mannish cut of her neither gar
ments. And they jollied the youn-
woman nightly and nominated her TO
governor. And she stumped the stat
and spake speeches, which were in
scrlbed for her by notary. And 500
she had wasted what her mother haL
given her in ice-cream and trolley par
ties for her constituents. And wher
she had spent all she became wroth j
the collar, for she had lost the election
and those who had fawned upon her il
prosperity now sat upon the seat O.
the scornful and greeted her with the
marble heart. After she had suffered
awhile she bethought herself of hel
mothers house and the hot biscuit
which her father used to bake And
she lifted her voice and wept and rem
her bloomers in twain and said: 81
VIII arise and go unto my mother"
And she did even So And it came to
pass that on the evening of the fourth
the bicycle path leading to her home,
her mother saw her from afar off and
ran to greet her and fell upon her neck
and kissed her. And the wanderer
cried:
Mother, l am no longer worthy to
be called thy daughter, for l had great
wealth and yet was defeated in poll
tics"
But her mother sought to soothe her
and gave unto her new bicycle lamp
and cyclometer. And said unto the
servants:
Bring swell raiment and order NUT
ton, with peas on the side, and we will
eat, drink and be merry, for the wan
derer is returned and she that was lost
is found" And stringed instruments
discoursed the sweet strains of "She
May Have Seen Better Days." and the
serving man, as he shuffled to and fro,
hummed softly to himself, Just Tell
Them That You Saw Me-" And they
fell upon the mutton and devoured it as
one man and with exceeding gusto, and
the only discontented one in the whole
multitude was their neighbor, who
mourned the loss of dog. But the serv-
ant man spoke as one having authority,
saying: Our neighbor's loss is our
gain" And it was even so.
