by various names, but are all due to the
same cause, acid and other poisons IN

Dear Sirs;-You sell good many things
by the gallon. Being decent men, you give
full measure
You know what we mean: you know
that short weight and short measure are
common among-well we hope there are
no short measures and weights in your
town.
There are, though. Ribbons and laces
and trimmings, sold by the "dozen," meas
ure nine or ten yards. There is no COM
plant, because "they all do it," You have
the same plague in your goods-nearly
everything, canned or bottled, cheats in the
quantity. Almost nobody gives full weight
in factory packagel
We are one OF the almost nobodies. We
sell paint, by the'gallon, to paint your house;
and our gallon is inst the same size ss yours
that you measure vinegar with-231 cubic
inches.
Good paint too-Devoe lead and zinc
wears twice as long as old-fashion painters

You own houses. That's why we are
writing to you.
Yours truly,

LOSSES IN NORTHERN PACIFIC.
"shorts" Probably Suffered to the Ex-
tent of 10000, eco I'm that Alone.

NEW YORK. May 1O.-The Times to-mor-
row will say: what the direct actual loss
to the shorts" in Northern Pacific has
been can be calculated only very inaccu-
rately, but something can be gathered from
the transactions in the stock within the last
few days. The 10000 shares that were
bought on Thursday, at prices ranging from
10 TO 1000, probably represented to the
buyers an average loss of not less than $500
q share, for large part OF the short inter
est in the stock was created when the
stock was selling between leo and rs, and
virtually all the short contracts must have
been made below $50 II these figures be
approximately correct. Thursdays pur-
chases represented 10 the shorts I'm
Northern Pacific an actual loss Of 5000 000.
If the contracts privately settled yesterday
at $50 and those settled on the board be-
tween that price and 200 showed an average
loss of even p points. the loss OF the bears
was probably increased by another million
dollars To these amounts must be added
the losses OF those who covered their con-
tracts early in the week. before the stock
had crossed $50.
1T seems probable. therefore. that the
corner in Northern Pacific has resulted in
an actual loss of nearly 100000. entirely
apart from the indirect losses. running into
the tens of millions. caused by the whole
sale sacrifice OF securities during the panic
that resulted from the appalling situation

groups of stock brokers and bankers and
operators usually gather. AT the various

most alluring well as the most remark
able stories are told of the gains and losses
in stocks in general. and Northern Pacific
in particular, during the past week. The
truth of many of these stories will never
be known for the reason that the widest
excitement prevailed during the break
on Thursday the time when losses and
gains were most pronounced. and now that
il is all over the men who are said TO have
made heavy winnings naturally are not in
terested in denying reports OF their good
fortune or good judgment especially when
the reports only add 10 their financial
credit. On the other hand, the denials of
the men who are credited with losing in
the recent excitement are generally not
believed by their frinds. and the unlucky
ones or alleged unfortunates, are speedily
learning that the best thing that they can
do under the circumstances is merely to
