Dallas, Texas. May l7.-Editor King OF
the Dallas Express has gone cunning after
the scalps of Republican State Chairman
Green and National Committeeman John
Grant. He wants both retired next year

suit with vigor and earneslness
It is taken for granted In Dallas that
1900 will witness the usual quadrennial
hair pulling among the Texas republicans.
The only change in preceding conditions Is
the fact that the battle is opening mucn
earlier than usual Dr. John Grant wants
to succeed himself as Texas member OF the
republican National committee and state
Chairman Green would like the same JOB
for himself. They have alreacy COM

HONEY MADE FROM
 BOTTLES.
OLD

$39,0OO Year Received by Trim
 mers-Yearly Business in Manhattan
 of 800 on-Loads-Crime of Deal
 ing in Registered" Bottles-$1, 800
 Annually for Broken Glass;
 People to whom the junk buy ing up old bottles and overhauling the contents of ash-cans and garbage-cans on the sidewalks, are source rather of nuisance than of profit, have doubtless often imagined that bottles which are not taken by these men disappear for ever into that mysterious somewhere" which receives all sorts of city refuse. To them, therefore, it will be a surprise to learn that the bottles thrown away with ashes and garbage are the subject of a fourishing trade, whose transac- tions in this city alone amount to many thousands of dollars annually
 This bottle trade depends for the most part upon the collection of bottles from the refuse gathered at the various dumps on the water front, some fifteen or twenty in number. Here the ashes and garbage are carefully overhauled bv the "scow- -trimmers" before the ma terial is lowed down the harbor, and bottles of every conceivable variety are collected for washing and distribution to the various dealers who sell them for further use. Dump bottles are di- vided by the trade into registered" hotties, which have the proprietors name blown into the glass, and mix cd" bottles, which are all those with o,,t names. Estimates furnished by
 show that tho yynols1u collection of mixed bottles in Man haitian alone amount to 300 wagon loads. At $1.5O a load, which is the usual price, this means about $39000 a wear paid to the scow- -trimmers.
 The mixed bottles are put together in sugar barrels at the dump, and then
