That was the address upon card which
was handed 10 lady on the cars in
| 1868. She was only 10 years of age, and
was in trouble. One little boy with her
was nearly two years old, and she had
another one just two months old in her
arms. She was very young mother
and was travelling alone: Her pocket
had been picked, her ticket and money
were gone, and the train was rapidly
approaching the great city of New
York. Naturally her eyes were full of

dollar bill. She declined to receive it,

considered above suspicion. If the car
porter had taken the bag he :hadpassed
it to some one during the night; but the
defense did not even hint that he might
have stolen it.
It was a singular and yet strong
defense. If the prisoner preferred to
fight the case out without revealing
her identity that was to her credit and
could not be used against her. AS she
did not know the contents of the miss
ing bag why should she be tempted
If she had taken it what had she done
with it? She was perfectly willing to
be searched, aud nothing had been
found. The old lady might have taken
it by mistake-cven the college presi-
dent might have been tempted. There
was the train conductor, the car con-
ductor and the porter. AS the bag
had not been opened by it's owner be-
tween New York and Toledo, how could
she swear that the jewelry was in it
at Buffalo and beyond? Mrs. Wickham
could only say that no one else but
Mrs. Taylor could have taken the bag,

DYFSTUFFS.

GREAT CHANGES IN THE PRODUCTION AND SALE
OF THIS PRODUCT 10 THE LAST FEW YEARS.
The last few years have seen tremendous
changes in the production and sale OF artlhcia
dyestuffs. and. in fact. revolution In TINS
trade seems to be the rule about every hVe
years This is due largely to the important I'M
provements constantly being made In the meth
DDS of manufacturing and production Many
dyestuffs which were popular few years ago
are not marketable at present.
In cotton goods the large bulk Of dye used al
present Is known as Diamine which was for
erly not known at all. In wool colors there
have been similar changes and improvements, so
that the competition between logwood ana ar''-
hcial dyestuffs has become extremely keen and
active. The bulk Of black dyeing was formerly
done with dye made from logwood. This is at
present being considerably supplanted by arti-
ncial DIVES made by various chemical processes.
An artificial dye is a stuff made from coal tar
and is a product of chemistry rather thah Oh

SOAP MANUFACTURE.
4 HUGE INDUSTRY FOR AIDING THE RACE TO
vrrp crrAN-MuJIoNs IN CAPITAL

4 HUGH INDUSTRY FOR AIDING THE HhCS ~
KEEP EXAMINATIONS IN CAPITAL.
Although the art of soap-making had its be-
ginning in ancient times, 1t Is within century
that the principal features Of the manufacture
a. II exists to-day have been developed In
1871 Leblanc, o French chemist. discovered
and patented a process Of manufacturing soda
from common salt and this invention had an
important bearing upon the soap industry. Pre-
Nous to that time the alkalies employed by
soap makers were derived chiefly from ashes.
Another discovery, made in 1871 by Chevreul,
also Frenchman, was potent In its effect upon
this industry. Chevreul discovered the true
composition Of fats, and was the first to explain
correctly the nature of the chemical action by
which soap Is formed from fats and alkalies.
The manufacture of soap in this country has
undergone vast changes within the last fifty
years. and the soap OF to-day is a very different
product from that OF former times. The intro
duction OF cottonseed oil and cocoanut seed oil
has been a factor in the development OF the
business. Fifty years ago New-Engand was
the centre of the soap industry Of America
To-day New-York holds important place
both as to manufacture and distribution. The
first pressed cakes Of laundry soap are said to
have been made by a local firm that at present
has an enormous plant in the heart OF the city.
The introduction of white floating soap about
twenty-fi five years ago has added greatly to the
general volume of the business. The firm
which began its manufacture hos offices here,
though its plant is located elsewhere
The prosperity of its business is attested by
the fact that it recently declared an extra dvl-
dend of per cent on common stock The STOCK
has paid II per cent since the company was or
ganized, and is quoted at $50 though none Is Tor
sale. It's output is thirty carloads day, equiv
alent to about 10000 boxes, or IL ,5O0Ooo cakes
During recent years a great NUMBER OF I'M
provements have been made in the equipment
of factories, and many patents have been Sc
cured on machinery and processes relative 10

greatest economy of time and labor.
