Letter to Charles Stillwell,
Morristown. N. J.

Dear Sir: The annoyance caused by
short measure in paints, that are sold by
the gallon" is worse than the loss by
the shortage. Misled by the maker s
representations as to how far gallon
will go, you buy too little of every sort,
and must send for more in the midst OF
the work.
Besides, a short-measure man is,
doubtless, also a cheater in other ways;
his paint is likely to cover perhaps two
thirds as much as he says. This also
you find out while the work is going on,
and the painting must wait while you
send for more. ;.
Even this is not ALL nor the worst. Ii
it wears half as long as he says. you are
lucky. You have the whole job to dc
again in a year or two; and perhaps
your paint is not really good for that
short time.
One law of lying is that liars lie most
where it's hardest to catch EN-. Another
is that liar lies wherever he can.
Look out for short measure. 1t in
cludes all the rest. Devoe q Reynolds
lead and zinc is full measure and pure
and durable.
Yours truly,
So F.WDevoe & O. T. Reynolds 90.
P. S. Geo. E. Voorhees, and
Thatcher g. Pantaneius sell our paint.

Dispatches That Give the Lie to the
Sultan's Assurances.
Constantinople. Oct. 2.-Despite the
sultan's assurances to the contrary, the
Armenians are being prosecuted at
Hatchadour. Two directors of a school
at Nazareth have been hung on a charge
of favoring agitation against the sui
tan. In consequence of the oppression
many have embraced Catholicism in
order to secure protection.
The priests at Sighert have written
the patriarch that the tortures of the
Armenians are beyond description, and
many Armenians have been forced to
take up lslamism. One form of torture
is the examining of the victims mouth
with straw and then lighting it. One
hundred and ten notables have protest
ed to the palace against the i'll usage
and fortunes of the Armenians.

New York, Oct 2.-This weeks issue
of r. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of

Reports to r. G. Dun & Co. show
failures during the first nine months of
1902 numbered 8,723. with aggregate
liabilities of $113, 434 1888, compared
with STA defaults in the correspond
ing months of 1901, with a total in
debtedness of $97, S56,416 From these
totals should be deducted the failures
of banks, other financial institutions
and heavily capitalized stock compa-
MES. which numbered At this year and
involved $2S,027, 1913 against 81 in 1901
with liabilities of $17,295,554. This re-
duces the strictly commercial failures
to S,676 and the amount of liabilities
to $50, 407 400 compared with S,093 last
year for $SO,560,S62.
Further analysis shows that there
were 2055 manufacturing disasters, in
volving $33,764,S1S. against 1906 last
year, with liabilities of $50, T5S, 437.
Trading failures numbered 6147 com

Only Three-Fifths OF Sum Sub
scribed to- Develop Water
Supply.

Only $4,000 of the $25,000 required to
form company for the purpose of
leading water out of the Waimea
mountains, Kauai, to the Waimea sug-
ar plantation, has thus far been sub
scribed. This was the report made
yesterday at the adjourned special
meeting of the Waimea Sugar Compa-
ny of Kauai in the assembly room over
Castle & Cookies. The attendance was
large and the question Of the formation
of the water company was fully dis
three-fifths of the amount of capital
needed is in sight, and this pledged by
the large stockholders, nothing was ac
complished except the appointment of
a new committee to look over the af-
fairs of the plantation to take the place
of the former committee, which resign
ed. The new committee is composed of
the following: ]. r. Gait, w. E. Row
eli and w. L. Howard. The committee
is to report back at meeting to be
held in two weeks.
1t was brought out at the meeting
that those who had subscribed were
anxious to see the water interests de-.
veloped, as it meant the development
of the plantation, an estimate of the
increased sugar yield being 500 tons un-
der these circumstances.
It was also reported at the meeting
that the wells at Waimea which had
once given water laden with salt have
