|QUININE QUEEN IN
BIG TONIC TRUST
Mrs. Weightman Walker Merges
Her Business with Another
Chemical House.

Philadelphia, Dec. 31.-A merger of
the two greatest chemical concerns in
the word, effected by Mrs. Anne NJ.
Weightman- Walker, has again brought
" the Quinine Queen' into the public
eye. Left a fortune and business
representing more than $1OO,O0O,OGO
only four months ago, Mrs. Walker has
justified the confidence Of her father,
the late William Weightman, by her
conduct of the business and her man
agement Of the fortune.
With a truly remarkable aptitude for.
business Mrs. Walker, upon the death
of her father on Aug. 25, set about
immediately to bring the vast property
left to her under her personal control.
She started by having herself put upon
the payroll Of Powers & Weightman ut

ness she corrected several evils which
her father had permitted to exist out
of personal regard for the derelicts.
One OF these was tardiness.
Some of the older employees of the
firm reported for duty whenever it best
suited them and left off work at their
own convenience. Mrs. Walker was in
supreme command only forty-eight
hours when she had a check clock
installed in the plant, and a general
order was posted notifying all hands
that they must work according to an

established schedule. A strike was
threatened by the employees. She sent
for the ringleaders, told them her ideas
of business, and terminated the inter
view by saying that all those who could
not or would not work a given number
of hours for stipulated rate Of pay
could quit. The 900 employees heard
the message from Mrs. Walker, and not
one resigned.
A few days later Mrs. Walker ordered
the Paymaster to put up $4,000 in en-
velops, giving $40 to each employee
with her compliments, without regard
to age or term of service. The note
accompanying the gift was brief:
"With the best wishes of the Will
liam Weightman estate.'
The estate of William Weightman
included more than $1O,000,000 in i'm

the control of Mrs. Walker. All of the

are in frst-class condition and some of
them are notable specimens of archi-

YANK, YELLOW DOG

New York, Dec. 31.--Yank,. home

home. All his life he has been doing
good things for people, but never. until

No: 3s., For year or more he was as
faithful to the fremen, but when some
body in the enginehouse threw a cup
of hot water on him he went to the
street. cleaning department. He did not
take kindly to the men he found there,
and since then he has practically been
boarding around. Yesterday came his
triumph.
Yank was standing at One Hundred
and Fifty eighth street and Amsterdam
avenue when a sleigh carrying two men
and two women drove past. A seal caL
and Yank dashed after it. He had
just caught the cap in his teeth and
was trotting toward the sleigh when ar
automobile came up, running very rap
idly. Yank, with the cap partly cover
ing his eyes and ears, did not hear the
automobile, and it ran over him. WheI
the driver came back he found Yanl
half buried in the snow, still gripping
the cap in his teeth.
Meanwhile those in the sleigh ha6
seen what had happened and drove
back. The women got out Of the sleigh
and made a soft bed for Yank Of the

real estate owned by Mr.. Weightman
and by the firm Of Powers &, Weight
man. Mr.. Weightman would not con-
slider any real estate proposition or
mortgage unless the first papers sub
mitted to him bore the Endorsement of
Mr.. Davis. Mr.. Weightman frequently
said that Mr.. Davis was Indispensable
to him. On Jan. l next Mr.. Davis will
sever all connection with the Weight
man interests.
The climax to all that Mrs. Walker
has done came on Wednesday last when
she authorized the announcement that
a merger of the Powers & Weightman
and Hesengarten interests had been eff
fected as of Jan. l, 1905. These two
chemical houses are among the oldest
and largest in America. Together they
will absolutely dominate the quinine
trade of the world. The terms of the
merger have not been made public, and
probably will not be. Mrs. Walker
abhors all publicity and, recognizing
the fact that her very great business
interests and wealth make her more or
less public parsonage, she has caused
it to be very generally understood that
she has certain private rights which
must be respected at all times and by
all persOnS. .-.s

CIGAR.MAKING ON
FARMS IS STOPPED.
Families Who Made Livelihood
by Manufacturing for Factories
Told They Must Stop.

York, Pa, Dec. 31.-The strict en-
forcement Of the internal revenue regu-
lations in York county has caused hum
dreds of men, women and children in
York and Windsor townships to be de-
prived of their means of making live
1ihood.
In many homes cigars were manufac-
tured for the large factories in Red
Lion, Dallastown, Yoe and Windsorv1ne.
The children would strip the leaves, the
parents making the cigars, which were
packed and sent to the factory to be
stamped. This method was technical
violation Of the revenue laws, and the
inspectors, in their annual tour of the
county, put stop to the practice.
Some Of the cigar-making families
live on small farms, which they culti-
vate during the summer, making. cigars
in the winter, the farms not yielding
enough to support the family. Their
enforced idleness is likely to cause much
distress. Many families are talking Of
leaving the township.
Thirty families living in Windsor
township are urging some Of the leading
cigar manufacturers Of Red Lion, Dal-
lastown and other towns to form a
company and buy site upon which to
build a monster cigar factory and a
town. .,...
Those suggesting this project say
they would be willing to sell their
homes and invest the money in such a
corporation, provided it would be estab-
lished on a cooperative plan.
