TRICKS OF SMALL DEALERS.
Lying Scales Are Common, Says Elk.
pert Derry.


Patrick Derry chief Of the bureau
of weights and measures, tells the
mayor in his annual report that he
found plenty Of dishonest tradesmen
last year, says the New York Sun.
Mr.. Derry fills page Of the City Rec.
ord, describing petit larceny devices
used by tricky storekeepers. He says:
The general public, 1t seems, pos
sesses little knowledge of scales or
weights and people are often cheated
by the most glaringly clumsy methods
Of dishonest dealers, who give them
shorter weight than they expect to
pay for. These dealers are usually
found in the neighborhood populated
by people Of small means, AMI the
greatest outrages are perpetrated
against the very poor Food is not
cheap, and a pound for the price of
a pound Is only what a poor man or a
woman should receive from a butch-
er or grocer; but by the use Of spring
scales adjusted for the purpose, or
some unfortunate people receive only
is, some IA, some others even Us lit
tie as 1919 ounces, when they sup.
posed they were receiving and actual
ly paid for a pound.
Butchers in the retail trade, as a
rule, use spring scales, most Of which
present to the view OF a purchaser a
dial upon which a moving hand lndI.
Gates the weight of the object be-
ing sold. BY removing the glass
front and loosenlng a little screw
again and replacing the glass front,
the butcher may rob hundreds Of peo'
pie out Of an ounce or more in every
pound Of meat he Is paid for.
Some spring scales do not require
this labor to enable the butcher to
steal his customers money. The
scale manufacturer provides at the
side or back or top of the scale lit
tie adjusting screw which by touch
sets the scale against the customer.
Some butchers have their scales set
properly and conforming when empty
to the standards, but each day, when
commencing business, a strip Of fat
or a slice or two of salt or bacon is
attached to the under side, or pan, of
the scale; some artists use putty to
enable the proprietor to rob his Gus
toners Of from to Is per cent of
the money they pay for meat.
Some butchers with neat.looklng
places have a sheet of paper on the
scale, and under It a dozen or so ten
penny nails, or couple Of S. hooks
innocently hanging from the slide; or
upon the hook properly belonging to
the scales hangs a pad Of memoran-
dunn sheets or "tlckets," any one Of
which devices would serve to rob the
customer.
Some butchers, as well as other
kinds Of dealers, make the wages OF
at least one clerk by cheating in this
way. They have we'll fabricated slides
on the spring scales, which keep the
pan jumping quickly up and down
when meat is dropped upon It and,
catching the weight at the lowest
point Of the drop, quickly take of the
meat, announce the false weight to
the customer, write out memoran-
dom ticket and pass the meat and
ticket to proprietor or foreman who
weighs the meat upon a true scale and
credits the clerk with the amount he
has defrauded the customer Of.

D. Baldwin. who will retire on the 18th in
slant. Both of these officers are civil war
veterans with excellent records.
Neither of the officers just promoted is
a graduate of West Point. Each worked
himself up in rank from private. General
Jocelyn entered the army August y, 1888,
in company A, 9TH Vermont Infantry. he
later became first lieutenant in the 10Th
United States Colored Infantry and at the
end of the civil war was honorably mus
tered out with that rank. He was appoint
ed by the President a second Lieutenant IN
the regular army and assigned to the 9TH
Infantry He has served through the vari-
Gus grades up to that OF brigadier general
In 1880 he was given the brevet commits
sion of major for conspicuous gaiiantry
in action against Indians at Clearwater,
Idaho July il and H. 1871"
General Duggan entered the army during
the civil war as a private In the 9th Wis
consin Infantry. He is rot native OF
the United States. having been born in the
Isle of Man. In 1858 he was appointed
TO the regular army as a noSpilai stewart

vantage OF the opportunity AFFORDED by the
retirement of Brfgadier General Buchanan
yesterday to appoint as brigadier and i'm
mediately retire. Colonel John Mcclellan.
Artillery Corps. at present in command at
Key West barracks. Florida. Although he
might be regarded as eligible FOR retire
ment with an advanced grade as It Is, hay
ing served in the volunteer forces as
boy during the civil war, as he was APP
pointed q cadet at West Point IN 1868 and
did not engage again In hostiiities as a
regular soldier. 1t is deemed best TO remove
any doubt as to the legality OF his retire
ment with advanced rank by resorting to
an initial appointment based on vacancy.
