$|O,000.00O WORTH
OF CHEWING GUM.
A


CLEVELAND, Ohio. Jan. 5.-The
people of the United States spent
more than s10.000,00O last year for
chewing gum. 1t was the best year
the gum makers ever had. Profits
were so large that, besides the per
cent dividend on the trusts preferred
stock, there was also paid IL per
cent on the heavy issue of common
stock. nearly all of which is held by
the big gum men who formed the
trust.
This city enjoys the distinction Of
being the greatest gum chewing city
in the country. 1t has held the belt
for several years, with Chicago few
laps behind and st. Louis several laps
behind for third place. Chicago is
the distributing point for nearly half
the gum made by the trust and the
dealers there have made great efforts
to win first place. but have failed.
Cleveland gains each year.
During 1902 the trust marketed, in
round numbers, 100000 boxes of
chewing gum. Every box contained
100 sticks that retailed at a penny
each, or 81 per box. The profit to
dealers is not large so that most of
the $S,5O0,000 found it way into the
Golfers of the gum trust. The west
ern and central parts of the country
use the most gum. as the numerous
small independent plants in the east
limit the sale of trust goods there.
The principal ingredient of trust
gum is substance known as chicle.
1t is the gum from the juice of the
| zapote, a tropical tree found in Mex
leo and Central America. It's gum

stock are living in ease. And the
dear American public has made posi-
BILE all these fortunes by patiently
chewing the favored chicle.
The eastern people have strong
love for the old spruce gum that has
been an article of commerce through
New England since 1885. when q man
named Alex Curtis of Portland first
put gum on the market He grew
rich and retired and his sons and
sons-ir-law still operate the old plant.
No statistics are obtainable about the
combined output of the numerous
small plants, but the total amounts
to more than 100000 annually, so
the trust officials estimate.
Every one of the original gum"
makers started in a small way. Thorn
as Adams and his wife made their
rubber gum" as the chiclc was first
called, in their kitchen, and it was
introduced by street vendors and at
small stands. w. j. White, the Cleve-
land gum magnate, peddled his pro-
ducts through the city in a basket for
years. when his entire gum stock
wasn't of $50 value. Now he owns

equal to half of what he now spends
for cigars, for his income Is so large
it worries him. 1t was probably the
patient efforts and persistent genius
of he and White in introducing sweet
ened and favored chicle here that laid
the foundation for the gum chewing
habit that has made Cleveland the
champion gum chewing city of the
country, as well as the pioneer and
largest gum manufacturing city.

DOES THE BIBLE
FORBID ORGANISE
A Southern Divine Thinks So and
withdraws From His Church.

LEXINGTON. Ky, Jan. 5.-Whetl
er the Bible forbids the use of instru .
mental music in churches is the rock
upon which the faith of Rev. ]. w.
McGarvey, president of the bible col
lege of Kentucky. has foundered.
McGarvey is a noted divine and a
writer of eminence. but he has stirred
up big sensation here by withdraw
ing from the Broadway Christian
church because he congregation in
sisted upon installing church organ
to help out the singing.
He gave out a statement in sup
port of his withdrawal to the effect
that he use of instrumental music in
church was contrary to the teachings
of the scriptures.
Rev. McGarvey was supported in
his action by j. W. Zachary, an elder
and a missionary, who in the recent
campaign headed the prohibition par
ty as candidate for congress. About
20 other members of the congregation
are with McGarvey and they have
| taken letters to the Chestnut street
church, which has no organ.

The Markle firm has been promi-

a great favorite of Baer, and friend
of j. =. Morgan. The firm of which
he is the head, was founded by his
father, Geo. =. Markle, and John has
been the supreme power since he
graduated from college, about 20
years ago. 81
1t was this firm which, according
to the evidence, kept a woman, wild
owed by mine accident, and her two
boys working 10 years to pay up an
old rent bill of 1895.

work never saw but $50 in money. in

was an officer in the union.
1t was this firm which evicted Hen
ry Coll, half blind and crippled by
mine work, with hts sick wife and
his mother-in-law, aged 101 years, in
a storm, thereby causing the death
of Mrs. Coll. 1t was to John Markle
himself that Sheriff Jacobs appealed
for a little more time for Coll. and
got the answer. "They must get out in
five minutes
1t was this company which. when a
collection of $3.50 was taken up by
the miners for a man crippled in the
mine, held out $50 for bill for rent

agriculture and the brighter forms CT nature
study should be adopted for use in al rr.sI
schools. In these books the practical and tho
esthetic should go hand in hand. The pleasures
of country living should be set forth. and . on
slant effort made to interest the child in the oon
mon things about him-the mysteries Of nIon+
and animal life, the beauties of nature, the ororr
day wonders of the fields and woods. With ao,o1
earnestness the profit of intelligent farminr
should be emphasizedj the elements of agricn1.
tural science should be given.
Recent educational progress makes it unnecas-
sary to defend this idea. No one now regards i
as a visionary suggestion; in view of the vast in
terests affected, it is not an unreasonable one.
in view of the great good that would result, it is
not an unimportant one. Millions, for examp7e
are lost every year by unscientifc stock-feeding
that could be saved to the farmer if he would
practice the simple rules for compromising feed
ing ~rations. Millions more are lost annually bv
Irrational fertilizing because the farmer is not
taught the properties of the common fertilizing
elements, the needs of different crop rotations,
and proper combinations of farming specialists
the knowledge of a few fundamental principles
being sufficient to enable the farmer to plan
them. To learn of these subjects would require
no special ability. Children of ordinary capacity
in ordinary public schools could practically mas
ter them.
Far-reaching effects would follow in due sea-
son. Practical education is the philosophers
stone that has revolutionized every commercial
and professional calling of civilized man; and,
with a properly modernized school curriculum, its
golden touch would reach agriculture also, trans
forming and uplifting this most ancient of occu-
~pations. Every class would share in the benefits,
and the nation itself would be immeasurably
strengthened for with the rural half of our pop
ulation intelligent and independent, we shall al
ways have a protecting balance of power in our
political life. Anarchy and socialism among the
city poor, greed and s~nobbery among the very
rich, will each find an antidote in the content and
conservatism of a great farming class. More
over, our commercial supremacy is largely de-
pendent on the wel1-being of the rural districts
men as well as crops being considered in this
statement.
To stop our teachers and textbooks from foS-
tering the idea that education is needed in the
city but not in the country, needed in managing
a store but not in managing a farm; to stay the
ov~er-crowding of the professions and city trades
and to develop the latent possibilities in sclentlhc
agriculture; and-1ast, but not least-to nStl a
love of nature and joy in country living; this task
is not hopeless that we should shrink from 1t, nor
small that we should neglect it, but it is in truth
a worthy and reasonable one for America to try
it's strength on.
