Blow at Standard Oil Co.

Washington, March 16.-Representa-
tive Fitzgerald (Mass.) to-day introdu.c.
ed the following resolutions:
Whereas, it appears as matter OF
public record that the Standard Oil Co
paid in the city of New York on March
10, 1900, the sum of $l7,000000, this
amount being an extra dividend in adj
dition to the regular quarterly dividend
of S3,000,OQ0; and,
record that this last dividend is $1,000
900 in excess of the last quarterly
dividend paid by the corporation; and,
Whereas, it is also matter of public
record that the price of kerosene oil,
the sole means of lighting used by the
middle and poorer classes of people,
during the period of time between the
declaration of these dividends, was in
creased three cents per gallon, consti-
tuting a tax on every home in the land;
therefore, be it
Resolved, That in the opinion of con-
gress this action of the Standard Oil
Co. is in direct violation of the provis-
ions of the Sherman antitrust law and
therefore punishable by fine and inn
prisonment, and the attorney general
is hereby directed in accordance with
the provisions of that act to direct the
several district attorneys of the United
States in their respective districts to
institute proper proceedings to bring
the above named violators of law to
justice.

AMONG OUR ADVERTISERS.
Joel Shades.


About 5S years ago there appeared
in Elgin County, Ontario, small
bunch of humanity which the parents
thought worth saving and they named
him Joel, which name signifies the
confession of great truth: 1.-THE Lord
is Cod" When about % years of age
he came to Yale, which means he has
been a citizen for about 33 years. If
Mr.. Shades had only thought of his
Kodak, taken a snapshot at Yale as
she then was, the picture would now
be very interesting, if not valuable.
lie is shoe maker by trade and for
many years he worked at that business.
But he had also bought farm-a new
one needing taming-twO and One-half
miles west of the village, and he also
carried on that branch of industry.
Eight years ago last June Mr.. Smades
lost his left hand by accident, since
which time he has done what he could
with the remaining hand.
For eight years in succession he was
janitor of the Yale public schools. He
is now engaged in the candy and con
fectionery trade in the Edison Moore &
Co. building, recently vacated by f. +.
Pratt. In this room he keeps stock
of candies, tobaccos, and cigars, which
is quite equal to the demands of the
trade though his custom is rapidly IN
creasing and more goods and more
room will soon be needed. Joel may
have but one hand with which to wait
on customers, but his candies are just
as sweet, and cigars as fragrant as
though he had two hands to handle
them.
