AID SOCIETY FAIR.

Ladies of South Unitarian Church
Conduct Successful Sale.
The Ladies Aid society of the South
Unitarian church held a fair accom-
panied by supper yesterday, and We're
successful in both enterprises. The
booths, which stood in the ladies' par
Tor, were charmingly decorated with
tissue flowers. Mrs. E. T. Eldridge and
Miss Mae G. Willard had charge of the
children's booth where scarlet peoples
and streamers formed the decoration.
The fancy booth was lovely with white
streamers and punches of violets Mrs.
Will Norcross, Mrs. A. j. Marble, Mrs
Herbert Farr and Miss Anna Peabody
were in charge. At the domestic booth,
where yellow, white, pink and violet
chrysanthemums blooned, Mrs. Albert
Sylvester and Mrs. Frank Willard sold
aprons, towels and other domestic ar.
ticles. Honeysuckle twined around slen-
der pillars formed the trimming to the
little candy booth, where homemade
sweets were sold by Mrs. H. H Sibley
and Miss Briefly. A mystery booth, in
white and red roses, was presided over
by Mrs j. A. Maynard and Miss Hattie
Newhall
Mrs. J. C. Yeaton and Mrs. ]. A Nor
cross served the supper, which sus-
tanned the reputation of the ladies of
the church as cooks and caterers.

force. Mr.. Bates said on this last point
that since the new combination had
been formed year ago over 200 travel
ling men had been given their walking
papers.
AS to how plants were bought, and
as to output and increase in wages.
Mr.. Gates testimony was naturally
largely explanatory and protracted In
brief, he said that spot cash was Of
tered in nearly every case, and that in
only one case was the plant obtained
by getting majority of the stock
MILLION MADE NO DIFFERENCE.
Il had been looking into the question
a year before we made the deals" he
said, and 1 knew pretty we'll what
business the different factories were
doing and what was a fair price for
them. When we were ready we made
them an offer of so much spot cash. In
onS instance we We're asked for 81, 600
600 more than was offered. but we re-
piled that we would give the sum men
toned in spot cash within thirty days,
and our offer was accepted We had
expended several million dollars before
we thought it possible to make any
satisfactory consolidation
Mr.. Gates testified that the percent
age of loss on bad debts this year is
one-twentyfifth of l per cent, and un-
der the old regime was one-half of !
per cent. Still he said; I'VE never re-
fuse to sell to any one" but explained
further that frequently a demand for
draft with order was demanded He
said he supposed there are 1900 stock
holders in the American Steel and Wire
company.
Il suppose we have paid 81, 900 900 tc
lawyers" he said at another time
and now we have general counsel tC
look after our business"
Professor jerks spent some time il
obtaining a satisfactory answer to his
question as to the effect of a combina-
ton on prices. Mr.. Gates said since
1890 there has been a large drop, and
during that time the companies he has
been interested in have controlled home
markets and IS per cent of the markets
of the world. He said that prices had
dropped since 1874 from 20 cents g
pound on barb wire to cents pound
now. His figures Indicated that q
trade combination does not necessarily
mean exorbitant prices.
Increased output, he said, helped tc
| advance the wages of the workingman
| Concerning dividends, he said that he
| had as much to do with not declaring
any at present as any one, and thai
within two or three years, when this
tidal wave has settled and things are
| down to their right level, we will prob
ably pay them then"

Kinney Doten, related to the great ba-
zaar in Boston. One new member was

DAVID KENNEDY, M. D.,
Of ROndout, [City of Kingston N. Y,
To-. SAYS:

For over twenty-five years I have
constantly been engaged in the active
discharge of my profession as physician
and surgeon. During that career have
perfected an Alternative medicine, the
Favorite Remedy, upon the value OF
which l am willing to, and do stake my
personal and professional reputation"
"Favorite Remedy is the greatest dis
covery DIR. Kennedy has ever made"
1t is today standard medicine with
thirty years of cures to its credit.
Allow no one to deceive you with their
GROWING efforts, latest achievements OF
brilliant fruits, counterfeits, limitations or
just as good They are but experiments
and endanger your health.
Most physicians are ready enough to
give their services when a family is toe
poor to pay, but IT occasionally happens
that there is a proprietary medicine
which does all or more than a physician
could do.
I'VE know of only one such medicine
namely DR. David Kennedy's Favorite
Remedy for such troubles as Kidney
and Bladder Complaints, Rheumatism
Dyspepsia. Liver Complaint, Constipa.
ton and the sicknesses peculiar to wo-
men.
Sufferers from these difficulties often
become so discouraged as to have nc
heart to take any more medicine. TIC
all such, DR.. Kennedy has only to say
that if he were personally called upon to
prescribe at all. he would prescribe Fa-
vorite Remedy"
There are other proprietary medicines
in the market, made by a person with
the same name and initial as my own
and l have reason to believe that the
two are often confounded in peoples
minds, and that the other articles spoken
OF have been substituted, either through
accident or design, when the latter have
been asked for, or desired To avoid this
please ask for DR.. David Kennedy's Fa.
vorite Remedy, prepared in Rondout, n
Y, and accept nothing else in it's place.
Ihere are two propIdetors of similar
names, but they are not connected OF
associated in business, or otherwise.

wee as to their own special case car
nave the same entirely free of charge
Simply direct: DR.. David Kennedy, Ron
dout, City Of Kingston N Y, ." where

HARVEY, PRESIDENT.
Mcclure Deal Fell Through
and Harper Bros. Are
Reorganized.

New York, Nov. 16-J. Henry Har-
per, vice president of Harper & Bros,
announced this evening that at a meet
ing of the directors of the publishing
company, today, George B. NJ. Harvey,
editor and proprietor of the North
American Review, was elected presi-
dent and managing director of Harper
Bros. He added that Mr.. Harvey had
purchased from the shareholders a
large interest in the company.
The organization as completed today
was as follows: President, George B.
M. Harvey; first vice president, John
W. Harper; second vice president, ] l..
Henry Harper; third vice president,
Clarence w. McIlvaine; secretary, j.
Thorne Harper; treasurer, Henry S.
Harper; and directors, in addition to
the officers above named, H. r. Harper
and James Harper.
The changes consist of the substitu-
ton of Mr.. Harvey as president, in
place of John w. Harper, who becomes
fourth vice president.
THE stockholders Of the company"
Mr.. Harper added, have felt for some
time the desirability of obtaining as the
executive head of our company a
strong, energetic man who, while hav-
ing experience, should also be young
enough to handle effectively a large en-
IeTpElSe. e IeeI COuHueHL MI. f1ar-
vey is such man. He will enter upon
his duties on Monday"
Mr.. Harper declined to state the
terms under which Mr. Harvey becomes
the head of Harper g. Bros, but said
that they were liberal. It is learned
from another source, believed to be au-
thoritative, that the shareholders sold
a large block of stock which was APP
praised some time ago at 1927 a share,
to Mr.. Harvey at $3.50 per share. The
amount of stock purchased by him was
said to be about one million dollars,
par value.
1t was supposed some months ago that
a consolidation of Harper & Bros. and
Doubleday & Mcclure had been practi-
cally completed. 1t was found, how
ever, when the time came to put the
consolidation into effect, that lines of
publication of the respective compa-
MES differed so widely that the plan
was impracticable, and it was aban-
doned. Mr.. Harvey said he should
continue as editor of the North Amer
lean Review.
