WARNING THE SNAKE.

From being the encouragers and abet-
tors of a trust for their own profit, the
wholesale grocers throughout the coun-
try now discover they are the victims,
and a meeting of representatives of state
associations of wholesale grocers Is being
held in Chicago to discuss the best means
to scotch the snake they have been
warming in their bosoms. The snake in
this instance is the Glucose Syrup Rein
ing company an offshoot Of the sugar
trust This Is the institution which fur
nishes the public with California Peach
Jelly" and similar luXuries under various
ornamental names and labels. This trust
has notified the wholesale grocers that
on and after Feb. /, 1900, there will be no
more cash discounts, and after Jan. 1,
1900 there will be given no guarantee for
products, that Is to say, the jobber
will have to bear the loss of poor goods
made understandable by fermentation,
etc. and the trust will not allow such
stuff to be returned.
Heretofore, wholesale grocers in many
Of the states outside Of Minnesota, for 1t
does not appear that Minnesota firms are
mixed up in this matter, have refused
to handle the product OF independent
companies, and now they. are reaping the
whirlwind. 1t is not probable that the
trust will pay any heed~to their protests,
and the only salvation for this line Of
business, as it will be in many other lines
before many months have passed, will be
the independent companies.

BOSTON, Dec. 2S.-While the officials Of
Mclean hospital are extremely reticent
in the matter of giving details as to the
condition Of Charles A. Boutelle, Of
Maine, it was stated in response to an
inquiry there that Mr.. Boutelle had pass
ed very comfortable day, and that no
was not considered in any immediate dan
ger.
A relative of Mr.. Boutelle is quoted as
saying that the latter's trouble is con-
gestion Of the brain, the result Of con-
tinued strain and overwork in connection
with his official duties. His condition
prior to his removal to the hospital was
such that he at times became violent, and
1t was difficult to keep him under con-
troll. 1t was thought best to place him
IN an institution where he could receive
the very best Of attention, and Mclean
hospital, at Waverly, was selected.
The relative above quoted felt confident
that with the attention and rest he would
receive at the institute the patient would
quickly recover and be able in the near
future to resume his duties at Washing

YOUNG KING OF NEPAL.

Sumshere Jung is the name Of the
young king Of Nepal, one OF the
strangest governments and countries
in the world. 1t lies between ThibetI
and India, and contains the highest
mountains Of the Hottest Of the earth's
ranges. the Himalayas. This httlel
king has a hundred thousand OF thsl
best warriors in the continent Of Asia
at his back, and 1t is, therefore, easyi
for him to command the respect of ALI
the neighboring tribes and govern
ments. Even the English will remain
on friendly terms with him and hire
some Of his soldiers to help them con-
Quer the Hindus. The people OF Nepal
are a strange mixture Of races. The
ruling tribes are the Ghoorkhas, whose
prowess has given them the suprem-
acy. They are Of Aryan stock, winter
than the Hindus, and despise all arts
save that of war. The religion Of the!
different tribes varies between Bu6d-

better classes-and these are all Span
iards-would regret the day that sees
the stars and stripes lowered from old

childish innocence of the rudiments of
government. They prefer the strong
arm Of Uncle Sam to the feeble and
vacillating control of any Cuban as

Mr.. Harmon was in position to OBJ

He is shrewd in business and gathered

that annexation will gradually come
about, as the Cubans will not avail
