GOING OUT OF BUSINESS.
oleo Dealers See That There Is No
More Money in Fake Butter.

Food Inspector Widmayer said
yesterday that the dealers who have
been selling oleomargerine and butter
inc in this city are rapidly getting out
OF the business for various reasons,
the principal one being the resolution
recently adopted by council directing
him to strictly enforce the state law
regulating its sale.
The only way the dealers who have
been selling the stuff could make any
money was to sell it not as oleomar-
gerine but as butter Now that a
more strict enforcement of the law is
required they realize that the selling
OF the stuff would be at a loss, as the
percentage of people who buy oleo-
margarine, knowing it to be what it
is, is very small. The price of butter
is down to twenty cents a pound now,
with a prospect of it being reduced to
eighteen. Oleomargerine costs at
wholesale twelve and one-half cents,
and as 1t must be sold for less than
butter, there will not be much profit
accruing, with $3.50 year for licenses
TO he paid out.
The government and state licenses
must be renewed in July and the

of the twenty-five dealers now holding
them will renew them.

PLANS OF THE BoERS.
They Will Attend Meetings About
the Country.

Washington, May 22.-Those who
have been closely identified with the
Boer delegates since they have been
in Washington and who conferred with
them today on their plans, say that
as a result of the statement of the
secretary Of state the delegates will
not remain long in Washington, but
will attend a series of meetings to be
held throughout the country.
According to Mr.. De Bruyn, the sc'-
retary of the Boer ENJOYS, the lattcr's
programme for the future has not been
definitely agreed upon. They will re-
main in the city for several days to
come at least. No statement respect
ing the interview with Secretlry Hay,
Mr.. De Bruyn says, has been issued
and he does not know whether any
will be forthcoming or not. The en-
voys have accepted an invitation to
luncheon with Mr.. Hay at the latter'5
residence tomorrow afternoon.

OIL CLOTH MILL BURNS.
The Loss at Nicetown Roughly Es-
timated at $4,000.

Philadelphia. May 22.-The coating
mill at the George w. Blabon COM
pany's oilcloth and linoleum works, in
Nicetown, a suburb of this city, was
destroyed by fire today. The loss is
roughly estimated at $5O,OOO.
The fire was caused by sparks from
one of the machines. The coating mill
was a three-story brick structure, lax
60 feet, and was one of thirty similar
buildings which comprise the Blabon
company's works. The firemen sue
ceeded in confining the flames to the
building in which they originated,
otherwise the loss would have been
much heavier.

Carrying hen proudly. man who
was evidently a foreigner got on the

drowsy and not quite sober and he
crossed his legs, put the hen on his lap
and went to sleep. Four miles out of
Braddock the hen suddenly woke from
it's own reverie and cackled. Its own
or opened his eyes and found himself
and his hen objects of interest. He
was annoyed, but the passengers had
more or less excuse for staring; they
had discovered a fresh egg resting
snugly on the mans lap.
No one could speak the mans Ian
guage, but every one was bound that
he should know what had happened.
Twenty index fingers pointed to the
hen, and 40 eyes were turned in the
same direction. Finally the stranger
lifted the hen tenderly, and the secret
was revealed.
Then he was wide awake. With his
left hand he held the egg aloft, that
all might see; with his right hand hi
affectionately stroked the hen. Every
body smiled. All at once it seemed to
occur to him that refreshments were IN
order. He grinned at his fellow pas
sengers, tapped the shell on the edge
of the seat to open way to the In
