that Pittsburg was too small for them and moved their establishment to Brooklyn. There they continued their former tactics. and in 1895 had very nearly succeeded in controlling the package coffee trade as completely as the Sugar Trust controls sugar. They had done this without exciting any spe- cial attention or laying themselves li- able to the charge of breaking any laws.
 The only time the eyes of the public had been focused upon them was in 1888, when the younger brother was sued for breach of promise. The case made a great stir, principally because of Arbuckle's letters to the plaintiff. which were invariably signed Baby Bunting The result was verdict of $45, 900 for the plaintiff, which Arbuckle either paid or settled. after which. in few years, he died, and the world promptly forgot all about the Ar buckles.
 Meanwhile John Arbuckle continued the coffee business under the style of ArbuckIe Brothers, taking a particular shrewd and capable man named Jarvie as partner As before, the concern made money, millions and millions of 1t. It bought its coffee by the shipload; 1t practically controlled the price. In a way Arbuckle Brothers were very like a coffee trust. And as neither Arbuckle nor Jarvie was anxious for publicity the world continued to know nothing about 1t.
 Among the improvements introduced by Arbuckle Brothers was a machine for filling weighing and sealing up and labelling with the brand "Ariosa" paper packages of ground coffee. This ma chine is a remarkable contrivance. It made it possible for the Arbuckle Bros. to lay off 500 girls and increase their
 A~k TNk Arbuckle to think that he had no use for the machine except to put up cof- fee with. One day 1t occurred either to him or to some one else about the place that the machine would pack sugar as well as coffee. So the sale of sugar in packages ts well as coffee was added to the Arbuckle Brothers business.
 It WIS a good move. It made the Arbuckle millions increase faster than ever. The sugar was bought from the Havemeyers. and the Arbuckle Broth CTS believed that their custom was valued by the trust. One day John Ar buckle noticed that though the price of sugar was down there was no drop in refined to him. He went to H. O. Havemeyer personally and remonstrat- ed, but got no satisfaction.
 Then 1t leaked but that the Havemey- CTS did not approve of the Arbuckle su- gar trade They wanted to gobble 1t, put they could not, because the AT buckles owned the patents on the pack ing machine. Then there were dickers for the use of the machine by the Sugar Trust. Arbuckle named price and the trust refused to pay 1t. A little later the trust came up. Then Arbuckle doubl, d his price. This happened two or three times. and then Arbuckle an nounced that he should go into sugar refiniI g, though he knew nothing about the business.
 This meant war. The trust declared itself ready to go to roasting and grind ing ccffee That didn't scare Arbuckle from the trust and went ahead and built a refinery. The Sugar Trust got hold of the Woolson Spice Mills of To- ledo, with their established Lion Bra Id" of coffee, to use in fighting Ar buckles "Ariosa." It took some time for the trust to get well into coffee and
