POTTERY TRUST APPEALS.
sellers of Plants Asked to take
stock Instead of Cash.

East Liverpool, Ohio, Feb. 11.-Agents
of the Pottery Trust are here to persuade
East Liverpool pottery manufacturers 10
take more of the purchase price OF their
works in stock in the new American Pot
teries Company, and less in cash. The
trust options provide for the pay nent of q
certain proportion of the purchase price
in common stocks and the balance III cash
The suggestion of the promoters OF the
Trust now is that the manufacturers make
further cut in their casn price AMI take
its equivalent in preferred stock. ii is
said here that the subscriptions to the
new company have not Deen received In
New York to as large al extent as cN-
pected
So far as known only one pottery COM
pany here has consented 10 this sugges-
ton. The Laughlin China Company agreed
10 day TO take $4,000 preferred stock and
that much less cash.
Local people declare that the whole
thing is a move of the Wall Street ma
nipulators to squeeze the manufacturers
The New York people have uhtll April l,
to close the deal under their old options.

tai of the company-$25, 600, goo.
The gas company now has 1,504 miles of
mains, 230,293 meters, and lights 2S,O
city lamps.
"An arrangement is now pending said
the president, which will enable the Peo-
pies Company to procure its supply of oil
and naphtha at largely reduced rates, de-
tails of which have not yet been closed.
The savings will be largely in excess of the
interest on the sum required to effect the
arrangement, which cannot yet be an
nounced."

Bay State Justice.
From the Bnstou Herald \

We find it difficult sometimes to understand
under what rule the judges of our courts Ak
their sentences for crime. One of these in
stances is of recent occurrence. man came
home at midnight and found his wife in bed
He had brought some fish with him, and order.
ed her to get up, build fire and cook them.
She most reasonably demonstrated and endeav-
ored to persuade him that it would be better
wait until morning. Whereupon the wretch
became infuriated, and caught up a lamp and
threw it at her. 1t inflicted fatal wound.
from the effects Of which she died after two
days of intense suffering. 1t strikes us that
here a most brutal murder, without the
slightest extenuating circumstances; yet the
inhuman monster who committed it receives
only the sentence of five years in the State
prison.

Ambassador Choate is confined to his
room with swollen foot which, it is
thought, will not, however, delay his de-
parture for his post of duty. He does not
know to what to attribute the trouble, as
a swollen foot is not an ambassadoriai dis
ease. We hasten to congratulate our dis
tinguished fellow citizen upon his escape
from the more common ailment of men in
his position which, as everybody knows,
is swollen head. Feet yield to good nurs-
ing and medication, but the macrocephalic
disorder is almost sure TO be incurable.

urbs into the heart of the city. In fact.
the rebels began a demonstration, but the
promptness with which the Americans fell
into line caused them to abandon their
plan. From that time until the attack was
made the rebels were constant menace.
1t happened that on Sunday they carried
their demonstration too far and brought on
the engagement they wanted and which
surprised them in it's results. 1t is absurd,
in the face Of the facts for anybody to
speak of the Americans as the aggressors.

Inspection of Ocean Baggage.

1t will be good news to returning tourists
that the severe regulations for the in
spection of baggage will be modified at the
port of New York. That there is consid-
cradle smuggling is beyond a doubt. and
that persons who are regarded as reSpec-
table and honest do not hesitate to make
false returns of their dutiable articles is a
well-known fact. This. however, does not
warrant the extreme discomfort to which
incoming passengers from Europe are sub
iect under the new regulations. These re-
quire that the tourist shall not merely
make list Of the dutiable articles in his
possession, but list of everything, and
that his baggage shall be examined SO
thoroughly that each article shall be in
spected and checked off. This might not
be so much of hardship if the Govern
ment had any place where the work could
be done without injury to the articles and
where the passengers could stay without
being liable to pneumonia. AS it is, trunks
are opened on the dock, and the most deli
cate laces and other parts of a lady's
wardrobe are flung about in the dirt while
the owners shiver with cold and have only
their angry feelings to warm them.
There has never been an effective sys-
TEN of inspection because it is impracti-
cable to make complete examination of
all the baggage in a reasonable time and
because some of the inspectors are not
above taking bribe for passing trunks
with a perfunctory glance at their con-
tents. 1t is still within their power to pass
articles without a close examination, SO
that there is little gained for the Govern
ment in the present method. The honest
passengers are made to suffer for the dis
honesty of others. It is possible that the
making OF a full list Of the contents Of
trunks is necessary, but it is obviously un-
fair 10 attempt to verify them under the
present conditions. There is a good deal
OF needless annoyance in it and the pro-
posed modification of the process will not
cause any serious loss to the Government
