Philadelphia,s Busy Opticians.

We call the attention Of our readers to
NJ Zineman a. Bro, opticians, No. 1006
Market Street, Philadelphia. They talk
very interestingly about optical goods and
give you straightforward chat about
prices that should induce everybody need
ing glasses to give them trial. They are
very frank in making statements and they
clinch their arguments by giving reasons
why they can sell cheaper than most opti-
cans. They are the only iobbers in optical
goods in Philadelphia Their factory and
retail departments are in the same building.
The retail is simply an inexpensive adjunct
Of the wholesale department, consequently
their stock Of Eyeglasses is always COM
plete. They do not advertise cheap goods
as bait, but they do advertise standard
goods at lower prices than most opticians
can afford to sell them at.
They are making special feature OF
holiday goods. They examine eyes free.
They can easily furnish you with glasses
for some one else by taking exact size from
old glasses, and you can order by mail Il
you can't get to the city yourself. Another
feature of their business is that all goods
sold by them are guaranteed to prove
satisfactory in every way. II glasses they
sell you SHOuiu dbl any biIItc prove uhSstic-
factory, they will cheerfully change them
or refund the money.
We feel sure that our readers will receive
the best treatment from Messrs. Zineman &
Bro. Their prescription department. is in
charge of the most experienced attendants.
Their store is the largest in Philadelphia,
and their business is the largest both
natural results Of straightforward dealings
with the people.

'OHIO'S SUPREME
Decides in Favor Of the STANDARD
Oil Company.
THE LONG LITIGATION CLOSED.


The Judges Were Equally Divided
az to the Justice of Calling the
Contempt Case-sIn5ority vote Nee
essary TO Sustain PIaintiH's Charge.
Columbus, o., Dec. 12-The supreme
court yesterday dismissed the proceed
ings brought by former Attorney GEN
eral Monnett, charging that the COM
pany was in contempt of court for hay
ing failed to comply with an order is
sued in 1892, directing dissolution of
the Standard Oil trust. The six mem
bers of the court divided, Chief Jus
tice Shauck and Justices Berkett and
Davis faYoring dismissal Of the in
formation in contempt and Justices
Minsrall, Spear and Williams dissent
ing. Under a rule of the court the
failure Of majority to sustain the
information in contempt is in effect a
dismissal of the proceedings.
The litigation against the Standard
Oil company, which is thus closed,
dates back to May s, 1890, when At
torney General D. K Watson brought
suit in the supreme court to have the
Standard Oil trust dissolved, alleging
it had exceeded it's corporate powers
and was operating in a manner con-
trary to public policy. Nearly two
years later, March 2, 1892, the aIlega-
lions in the petition were sustained and
the company was "ousted" On March
II following meeting of stockholders
was called and liquidating board,
consisting of John d. Rockefeller, H
M. Flagler and others, appointed to
wind up the affairs of the company.
The company then set aside the claim
that 1t was impossible to close UP the
business of so great concern in the
time allotted. The judge of the SUI
preme court declined to take any ac-
ton extending the time in which the
company's affairs might be wound up,
but informally addressed letter to
the attorney of the company which
stated in effect that as long as the
Standard Oil company continue its eff
forts to comply with the decree of the
court and to wind up its affairs in
Ohio the court would not be disposed
to interfere.
Nov. 8, 1897, F. S. Monnett, then at
torney general, fled information in the
supreme court alleging that the com
pany had not complied with the de-
cree of the court and asking that its
officers be cited for contempt The
testimony in this proceeding was taken
by Allen Brlnsmade. Of Cleveland, as
master commissioner, and was submit
ted to the court some months ago.
Mr.. Monnett, when asked his opinion
of the decision, said that while he felt
that the evidence sustained the charge
Of contempt. he bowed to the decree OF
the court
