SPLENDID FIELD FOR BUSINESS
MEMS ASSOCIATION,
Union Depot and Revision Of Licenses
Among the Things to Be
Agitated.

There is a splendid field in Butte for
the newly organized business mems ASSOC
citation, which is now on a permanent ba-
sis and which promises to accomplish q
great deal of good for the city and Mon
tana. The personnel of the association
is a sufficient guarantee that the organi-
Zation will not fall by the way side as
Others started in Butte with the same OBJ
tect have done. O. Hight, who a. been
identified with the business interests Of
Butte for twenty years or more is the
president. D.. ]. Hennessy OF the Hennes-
sy Mercantile Co., is vice president, E. H.
Renisch is second vice president, Thorn
as O'Brien is secretary and Joseph
Broughton, treasurer.
Subjects OF general interest pertaining
to III, welfare of the city will be discuss
ed and united action taken for the gem
eral good. BY pull lg together they te-
lieve that a great deal can be accomplish
ed. The subject of a union depot for
Butte will be taken up in the near future.
Among other things sought to be ac-
complished will be a reform in the mat
ter of licenses. Instead of the present
graduated license for mercantile institu-
ions an effort will be made to secure a
law which will fix the amount Of license
irrespective of the amount of business
done. Other changes in municipal legis-
lation tending to THE good Of the commu-
nifty will be advocated.
The association has secured pleasant
and commodious rooms in the Kingsbury
block ait the corner of Main and Quartz
streets where a general meeting Of bust
ness men will b. held next Friday evnn-
ing to discuss the license and tax law
Every business man Of the city should
attend.

When he went to bed he left his trousers
on a chair along side the bed. His money
was in his rouse pockets. He arose

TO CUT AND SLASH.
New York Wholesale Grocers Will
Sell Sugar as They Please.

New York, Dec. AT a we'll attend
ed meeting of the Wholesale GrOcerS
association of New York and vicinity
an association which comprises the
leading grocery jobbers in this section
of the cOuntry-it was decided to throw
OF all restraints in regard to the pur-
chase and sale of refined sugars Presf-
dent G. Waldo Smith of the association
said after the meeting that no definite
action had been taken in the way of
securing a readjustment of the sugar
business, and an adjournment had been
taken without date. The entire matter
had been left in the hands of the execu-
tive committee to recommend proper
action. In the meantime, the members
of the assOcia ton would purchase from
the refners Offering sugar at the low
est prices and would sell at such prices
as they considered for the best interests
of their business.
The action of the local wholesale gro
GERS is important for the reason that
New York has been one Of the sections
which has most steadfastly maintained
the price Of sugar. Their position as
regards the factor plan is shown by the
last annual address of President Smith,
IN which he advocated action in the di-
recuOn of securing the restoration of
the factor plan by the sugar refiners
and the restoration also Of the affidavit
system, with a rebate of 20 cents per
100 pounds and the trade discount of
per cent He also advocated the
adoption Of the factor plan by all manu-
facturers whose goods are capable of
being handled in that manner.

NEW YORK,S POOR.
One Association Spends $4,000 and
Cares For 1888 Persons.

New York, Dec. 4.-The hfty-seventh
annual report of the New York Associ-
alton for Improving the Condition of
the Poor has just been issued. 1t shows
that $4,000 was spent by the relief de-
partment for 9,513 persons.
In the report of the board of man
ayers, President T. r. Cutting says:
"Of some $500 cases investigated,
cared for, passed upon and clothed dur
instances is set down as lack Of work,
in 1,19S instances as illness; the other
causes operating were shiftlessness in
245 cases, intemperance in 312, old age
in 307 and desertion in 321.
TOO often, when we assign illness,
shiftlessness, intemperance and deser-
ton as causes, we know that the tene-
ment house itself is the real underly-
ing evil; that herding large numbers of
persons in contracted space has result
ed in abnormal minds and unhealthy
bodies .,
