GREAT PROFITS
OF STANDARD OIL
By THE JOURNALS Special Wire

By THE JOURNALS Special Wire
NEW YORK, oct. 9.-Some idea of
the enormity OF the business Of the
Standard Oil was gained to-day when
Frank g. Kellogg, deputy attorney
general in the government suit to dis
solve the parent company showed from
transcripts from the books that the
profits of the organization since 1882
aggregate a sum almost equal to the
national debt of the United States,
which in 1903 was S925,O11,637
Government experts after weeks Of
hard work on the books have produced
tabulated statements, comparatively
simple. but complicated enough to
stagger the lay mind Kellogg placed
Clarence G. Fay, assistant controller
of the STANDARD on the stand to-day
and questioned him regarding the fig
ures. It was shown that over half a
billion Of dollars in dividends have
been paid by Standard oil during the
various phases Of its existence.

SAUSAGE AND
SCRAPPLE ABOUT

Indications Of a coming frost made
sausage and scrappie the center Of at
traction this morning. and housewives
made heavy nroads upon this good old
autumn dish. How many kitchens will
teem wit hthe odor Of fried sausage aud
scrapplc at to-morrows breakfast would
task many an astute statcan. nnd
this. in spite OF the fact that ucrnpp'e

scrapple at this time last year. Sausage
has advanced even more. FOR at this time
iast year IL was being sold for f. cents
a pound. while It is now selling at i5
cents. The dish is apparently too tooth
some. however. and the advance has only
served TO make the combination more
popular
one Of the things against which thrifty
housewives are kicking however, is the
price Of pork. Not within 25 years. a
iKng astreet butcher said this morniag,
has pork been so high. Loin pork, which
last year sod at Is to "A cents a pound,
retail. is retailing at Is cents a poual,
while fresh shoulder pork. which sold at
10 cents pound last year, is selling this
year at is and "a cents. Fresh hams.
which were 10 cents last year are selling
now at y cents There was a slight ad-
vance IN loin pork last year, II being sold
at one stage at 10 cents a pound, but II
soon resumed It's ruling price O. two
pounds for % cents. The unusual advance
in pork this year Is attributed by butch
ers TO the heavy cost Of freightng 81

NO INCREASE HERE
In PRICE OF BEER

Wilmington beer drinkers are con-
graduating themselves on the fact
that the local price OF beer is not &c
be increased Advises from Philadel-
phia state that the brewers there will
raise the price OF the "suds" so cents
a barrel on November 1, owing to the
increase IN the price OF malt and other
materials which enter into the brew
ing of the beverage.
The local brewers declare. however,
that they have no intention Of raising
the price Of the beverage at this time.
At present beer is selling here for IS
a barrel which is an increase OF 81
over the price In Baltimore and $3.50
over the price Of the beverage in Phil
adelphia.
The Philadelphia brewers say that
the cost of some OF the materials en-
tering into the manufacture of beer
has increased fully 100 per cent They
will. therefore, raise the price Of their
nuhid so cents per barrel next month,
and the drlnker will make good the
extra cost by satisfying himself with
a smaller drink than heretofore.
