Large Profits Realized From the
Sale of Soda Water.
IT COSTS BUT A TRIFLE
They Would Soon Be Millionaires If Sales
ncreased-AmericansA Are the Only
People Who Drink the
Concoctions.

The chemist who discovers a process
of making new drink and is success
full in putting it on the market soon
finds himself on the high road to finan-
cial success, but of the scores who are
laboring in season and out of season to
concoct some new mixture that will ap-
peal to the taste of thousands of thirsty
mortals, not per cent reaches the goal
for which he is striving. Notwthstand-
ing the popular craze for something
new in cooling drinks in summer, and
hot and bracing in winter, the num-
Der of successful drinks each season
is very small indeed. Occasionally the
large department stores will take up
new drink and advertise 1t extensively
and there will be a temporary rush for
1T which will make the profits large
both for the dispenser and the inven-
tor. But there is nothing in which the
public refuses to be fooled for any
length of time more than in the drinks
which are consumed in summer and
winter If really new article of vir-
tue IS introduced the public stands by
it, and there is steady and con-
slant demand for it, but most of the
new mixtures are merely variations
upon the old drinks intended to deceive
tie consumers.
The summer trade in soft drinks is
peculiarly handicapped in this respect
1t is already SO loaded down with diff
ferent sirups and drinks that dealers
will not take hold of new thing unless
it can be demonstrated to possess un-
usual virtues or the inventor of 1t is
willing to put lot of money in ad-
vertising it, The largest fountains,
where the trade in soda water on a
hot day amounts to 1000 or more
glasses, have to carry in stock from
so to 100 different fiavors. The ma
jority of the customers will only call
for few different fiavors, but the dis
penser of drinks must be prepared ID
satisfy the crank who is bound to call
out. 1t is to prevent the expansion
of this already too formidable list of
sirups that the trade is opposed to the
indiscriminate introduction of anything
new.
On the other hand new drinks are put
on the market every season, but these
are often the result of a little indie
pendent work on the part of the owner
of the fountain. 1t is an easy matter
for him to concoct a new drink. His
knowledge of sirups, waters and chem
icals enables him to mix different in
gradients together which will produce
a flavor peculiar to itself 1t may have
no other virtue. But if it is properly
named and skillfully advertised it may
have a run" or a season that will pay
big profits. The soda water man does
not expect a permanent trade in it:
he Is satisfied if 1T will take for a few
weeks or months. Usually the drink
is one that does not cost much to make.

FROZEN FOOD INDUSTRY GROWS.
Remarkable Increase in the Business in
the Last Decade.

From the indianapolis News.
Frozen food plays part in the Eng
lsh economy that we in this country
do not realize, although we are all ia
miliar enough with cold storage houses
and refrigerator cars. In 1880 London
received its first consignment of 400
frozen carcasses Of Australian sheep.
In spite of the prejudice against it the
traffic has grown until now there are
So vessels engaged in the traffic, with
a carrying capacity of 100000 car
cases per annum A single vessel
sometimes lands at London 10000 car
cases of frozen mutton. AT one wharf
10000 to 10000 thousand of such car
casses are handled daily, and one ware
house will hold 250,00O of them; all are
from Australia and New Zealand.
Sheep were imported into Australia
with the convicts to Botany bay little
more than a century ago, and with the
small population and vast plains for
grazing, fiocks increased so that in 1887
a farmer is recorded who for four
months of the year boiled down daily
from 1000 to $500 sheep for their tall
low and until 1880 it was common in
Australia and New Zealand to kill
fiocks of sheep for their hides and tai
low, leaving the carcasses to manure
the ground as used to be done with cat
tie in South America.
There Is a difference between frozen
and chilled meat. The meat that Eng
land receives from America is chilled,
but that sent from Australia, 5000
miles away, must be frozen. Australia
and New Zealand have % freezing
works in active operation, whose total
capacity is 7,000,0 900 carcasses per an
mum. One of the results of the frozen
and chilled meat trade is that people
are now able to eat fresh meat who
half a century ago could only get it
as luxury. Naturally we are less de-
pendent on such food than England,
but the growing use of refrigerator cars
and cold storage houses is giving us a
variety of diet that was impossible a
few years ago.

From the New Orleans Times-Democrat.
"A very curious thing about the Chi
nese Is their indifference to pain" said
DIR. E. Y. Simmons, the veteran mis-
sionary of Canton, who was in the city
a few days ago. I'VE do a great deal of
surgical work in the great city hospital
conducted by the united missions at
Canton, and it was at first supposed
that there would be endless trouble in
persuading the natives to take anaes-
thetics, but the doctors found, to their
surprise, that anaesthetics were rarely
needed and that their patients endured
the most serious operations without
flinching the fraction of an inch. The
average Chinaman will assume the re-
CURED position and hold it like statue.
When the knife touches his flesh he be-
gins a slight, monotonous moan and
keeps it up until the ordeal is over, but
he gives no other indication of pain.
Whether this is due to nerve bluntness
or stoicism, or combination Of both, I
have never been able to determine, but
the fact remains that the Canton hos
pital uses less chloroform or ether than
any other large institution of the kind

IT IS SLOW BUSINESS
Recruiting Soldiers for the Philip
pines.
MEN ARE NOT ANXIOUS
Fifty Enlistments in Two Months in
Butte and 1t Cost 81 500 to Get
Them Started for
Manila.
MEN ARE NOT ANXIOUS

Recruiting soldiers for the Philip
pine war is getting to be pretty slow
business in Butte. If no greater en-
thusiasm is manifested at other points
it will take some time to get together
the 10 more regiments Washington is
is raising. Captain Detchmendy. who
is in charge of recruiting in Montana,
has had his office open here for nearly
two months and has only forwarded SO
enlisted men, or an average of about
one a day. Captain Detchmendys ex-
perience here, if it may be taken as a
criterion by which to Judge the recruit
ing of colders at other points, gives
some little idea Of what an enormous
drain on the country's vital forces of
money and manhood a protracted war
in the Philippines will prove.
1t has cost the government approx
mately $1,000 to enlist the SO men Cap
tain Detchmendy has recruited, or $50
a man for the simple enlisting alone,
that is, 1t has cost an average of $50
for each man landed at his regimental
rendezvous, to say nothing of equipping
and forwarding the soldiers to the
Philippines. At the same ratio, if it
costs as much to enlist men at other
points, ana II is supposed 10 cost more,
1t costs at least $4,000 for the simple
enlistment of the men for one regi-
ment, and this is but minor item in
comparison with the expense of equip
ping and sending the regiments to the
point of embarkation and the trans
porting of them to Manila.
And the expense is not the only seri-
Gus drain if, as is presumed to be the
case, other recruiting offices are as
strict as Captain Detchmendy in Sc
1ecting their men. Captain Detchmendy
will take only the cream of physical
manhood. A man with any sort of o
physical or mental defect will not be
accepted by him. His record has been
an average of one acceptance out Of
every four men who have applied for
enlistment, so it will be seen that a
long war, necessitating the raising of
a large number of soldiers will be a
great drain on the best physical man
hood of the country.
Captain Detchmendy is now enlist
ing for the 45th volunteers, and the re-
cruits are sent to Fort Smelling, Mimi.
the regimental rendezvous, and will be
sent back across the country when the
regiment is filed to be transported
from San Francisco. Just how long
Captain Detchmendy will keep the re-
cruiting office open here he does not
know. but expects to be ordered
to the Philippines to Join his regiment.

least he has applied for active service
and hopes to be. In the event of his
request being granted the office will

customer IL the soda water man failed
to live up to his agreement. The cost
of these plants, with their handsome
marble fronts and plate glass sides, ran
all the way from $500 to $40. 900 and S15.-
600. To-day most of the department
stores ana druggists order their own
fountains and owe allegiance to no one.
More than that, they do not even pat
ronize the companies to the extent Of
purchasing the syrups or carbonated
water from them. They have their own
carbonating plant and make their own
srups.
complete carbonating plant can be
put in for few hundred dollars, and.
after once installed, the cost of making
the soda water is very small. The firms
who supply the carbonated waters IN
portable tanks charge from 5 to 10
cents a gallon, but the druggist can
make his own beverage at less than 3
cents per gallon. Where large quanti-
ties are used the difference in the
original cost is so great that the saving
will almost pay for the equipping of a
carbonating plant in one summer.
With the carbonated water thus re-
duced to cents a gallon, the profit on
glass of soda water is great. The sir
ups and cream represent a greater cost
than the water itself, but where the
flavoring extracts are made right in the
StolG d SldSS VI pldlH SUud WITH dHy Oh
the ordinary sirups, does not cost the
dealer more than IL cents. A good
glass Of ice cream soda cannot be made
for less than to cents. The latter is
usually the average in high-class stores
where the best of cream Is used. The
price of 10 cents glass, considering the
slowness with which consumers drink
1t, does not make the profit SO large as
an ordinary plain soda. IL
The soda water fountain is an Amer
lean product, but there is reason u
suppose that other countries are gradu-
ally contracting our national taste for
this summer beverage. One large firm
makes a business of manufacturing O
certain type of soda water fountain and
carbonating plant for export. The
South American countries in particular
show a growing penchant for soda
water. A good many of the old-fash-
Toned, discarded soda water fountains
find their way to South America and
even to South Africa. The demands on
the trade are such that every druggist
in the city aspires to have constructed
for his store a fountain of superior size
and taste, and this causes many old
fountains to be thrown upon the mar
ket. Formerly these were sold to the
small country dealers, but now a con-
siderable number of them are bought
up by the secondhand dealers for the
export trade.

CALLED HIM A LOBSTER
The Casus Belli Of q Neighbor-
hood Quarrel.
THERE WERE NO TEARS
Mrs. Davis Defiantly Denies the Soft
Impeachment-Then the Boy in the
Tale Shot or His Mouth
and Was Arrested.

Brief mention was made in yester-
days Standard of the arrest of young
Meyers of West Park street for dis
.uroance It has all developed into a
iraeas or many corners. A report go.
out some way to the effect that Mrs
Eliza Davis, upon whose complaint
young Meyers was arrested, had shed
tears over the affair.
L want you to contradict that state
ihent,' said Mrs. Davis. whose ewes
flashed fire to such an extent that II
would seem.impossible for tears ever to
emerge from them. There is fire in
my eyes, but tears-never on such &C.
casions. There seems to be a wrong
impression out and I wish to correct
1t. Then the lady sat down ana told a.
very interesting story of boys who will
be boys. 1T was like this: Mr.. Nc
Nab and his boy boards with me-
sent the boy down town after some
thread. Before he had gone far he re-
turned and said that one OF the Meyers
boys intended to whip him. I told him
to go ahead and I would protect
him. I accompanied him down
the walk until we met Johnny
Meyers. who accosted me and called me
vile names. l told him If he didn't cease
his abuse l would call policeman. He
was defiant and told me where 1 could
find policeman if / wanted him ar
rested. / did go after the policeman,
and together we escorted Johnny to
the Jail. Now, the idea OF me crying
when / explained to the policeman as
to the boys conduct towards me! In
deed / didn't cry.
Now, another thing" and Mrs
Davis impaired more of the same kind
of news, 1.-The report Is out that Mr..
McNab had made threats to Sig Mey-
ers, brother of Johnny, and that the
policeman was asked to arrest McNab,
but McNab couldn't be found. Mr.. Nc
Nab is not the kind of man that runs
away. He probably did talk plain to
Sig. but he could be found at any time,
and certainly did not try to escape ar
rest, If he were wanted. The whole
trouble arose from the Meyer boys. Sig
is mad at the McNab boy because the
latter once called him lobster.
ITO show how far they want to carry
their fight into Africa, Sig went out
and hired two colored boys to whip
young McNab The colored boys went
to the McNab boy with a proposition.
They said: Now, Sig hired us to lick
you. If you will go and tell Sig that
we licked you good and plenty, we will
whack up with you The idea of big
boy like Sig hiring two colored boys to
whip little white boy just because the
little boy called Sig a lobster!"

The ingenuity of this explanation is
remarkable. 1t implies that Sarah's

of the court martial. And it flatters
the amour propre of her compatriots
by insinuating that the celebrated court

Sarah has lost nothing of her skill in

Mr.. Huling was cheercd ut every
mention of the name of Mckinley. The
convention started in vein of cheer.
ing during this speech and kept it up
during rhe entire session. Mr.. Huling
announced that the state committee
lad selected the following temporary
organization: Chairman, Hon. w. S.
Kerr, of Mansfield; secretary, Hon. L.
L. Lampson, of Ashtabula; sergeant
alarms, Frederick Bader, of Cincin-
natl.
On being introduced, Congressman
Kerr was heartily chcered and spoke
at length on the politicaI issues of the
day.
The feature of the convention was a
love feast that was not down on the
programme. Mr.. Kerr closed by
saying: "Let us strike hands and.
following the lead of Mckinley and
Foraker, Hanna, Grosvenor and Bush
nell and the rest, let us go forth from
this convention united and to victory"
The delegates took up this keynote
and proceeded to Call on these leaders
for speeches.
Senator Foraker said there were very
ohlo "
talk about just now and to think about
and to act on wisely, and he commend.
ed the speech of Kerr as the true key
note for them. He Joined in the plea
for peace. "The great duty of Ohio
republicans was to get together. Uni
ted they were invincible and divided
they were beaten in advance. They
needed not only a good platform, but
also standard bearer who was the
very strongest man, no matter what
was his name or his past affiliations in
the party. There has not been in the
present generation such an important
election in Ohio, none ever more easy
for republicans to carry, and yet never
one they could more easily lose. Ohio
is the home of Mckinley and should
head the column for next year."
Senator Hanna made a vigorous ap.
peal for harmony. He referred to
the speeches of Huling, Kerr and For
aker that had ben made for harmony
and urged that it would be necessary
for all to work together if the republi-
cans won in Ohio this year. He said
no man was as great as his party, al
though the democratic papers were
now trying to make ont a case of some
republicans being greater than their
party.

from Hamilton county, the Holcomb
delegates from Cuyahoga. the Nash
delegates from Franklin and others as
previously reported was adopted with
out opposition.
The committee on resolutions re-
ported the platform, a synopsis of
which follows:
The principles of the st. Louis plat
| form are affirmed. The administra-
tion of President Mckinley is indorsed

as nearly uniform as practicable for
the selection of delegates to the state
conventions of the republican party.
The counties were then called for
