A new COMBINATION
u. S. and Central Leather Com,
panies Combine With a
Huge Capital.

Associated Press to The Evening Times-
New York, Jan. 16.-The merger of
the United States Leather Company
and the Central Leather Company, to
bring about which efforts have been
making for more than two years past,
was finally consummated today at a
meeting of the stockholders of the two
concerns held in Jersey City. The Cen
trail Leather company was formed in
1904, solely for the purpose of ac-
quiring the stock and the business of
the United States Leather company,
but the deal has been hanging fire
for two years, chiefly because of the
opposition of certain of the United
States Leather Company's stockhold-
ers. According to the plan agreed up
on, the capital stock of the CONSOLE
dated corporation remains the same as
that of the Central Leather company
$4,000, O00-consisting of $40,000,000
preferred and the same amount of
common stock.

English people eat on the aver age 13 pounds of butter a head yearly. This is more than is eaten per capita in any other nation.
 Parsley was eaten by the ladies of ancient Rome as a cleanser of the breath, and honey boiled in anise seed and wine was also used for the same purpose.
 The sources from which New York city gets its celery supply throughout a year is given as fol- lows by one of the largest hand lers: California sells on the New York city market from early in De- cember to about March 15. During this period about 800 cars are re- ceived. The Florida crop SUD- plies the market until about the middle of June. From June 15 to about December 10 New York state supplies the celery for New York city. About 750 cars are shipped" "

Honors to M. E. Mitchell.

MT. Mason E. Mitchell, Cashier of the International Banking Cor poration, sailed yesterday (Dec. 5 Ieo6) for the United States on the Commission S, steamer Panama accompanied by his son Armistead and brother-in-law, Mir. George Armistead, to take the remains oi his beloved wife, Lyte Armistead Mitchell, to her home in the United States for final interment.
 MT. Mitchell had intended sail ing on the United Fruit Company's S boat Ellis which left on the 3rd for New Orleans and indeed had a special car for the trip to Colon and all arrangements made for this sailing. To this end the Masonic Sojourners Club, of which Mir. Mitchell is President, and the Un- iversity Club, of which he is Secre- tary, sent a special committee to act as a Guard of Honor to Colon. At Colon he was to have been met by a delegation of Masons from Gatun and Christobal, and also a committee from the Knights of Pythias. The Masonic Sojourners' Club and the University Club were enabled to accompany MT. Mitchell as far as Matachin from which point it was necessary to return the train to Panama owing to the tre- mendous rise of the Chagres river, so that those who would have done him honors in Colon were disap- pointed.
 Among the I. c. C. officials who accompanied MT. Mitchell were MT. John F. Stevens, MT. w. M. Bedding, MT. w. G. Hubby, Judge Gudger, MT. George Camper, and Mir. T. M. Cooke.
 MT. Mason E. Mitchell has lived in Panama for more than two and one-half years and has many friends --Panamanians and Americans who extend to him their sympathy in his sad bereavement .-P anama Star and Herald, Dec. 6.

 "Oh, no, doctor, you have seen three colder than l."
