 EXPLANATION.

Almost everyone is aware how difii- cult it is to obtain pure OLIVE OIL. Understanding the prevailing skepti- cism that surrounds an article of food or drugs, we append herewith a letter from Messrs. Carter & Meyer, Leg horn, Italy, who export this olive oil. to the Charles W. WhittIesey Compa- ny, Wholesale Druggists, of this city. Not satisfied, however, with the Ital- ian guarantee of purity, Mir. Whittle- sey has had an American test made to ascertain if any adulterants had been added, and the chemists report Is also appended herewith. Mir. Whit tlesey selected this oil personally when in Leghorn year or so ago, and, with the benefit of his extensive experience in purchasing this class of goods. we feel that we are offering an oil SEC OND TO NONE.

His Watch Wasn't There.

Patrick Moore, resident of Bay
street, yesterday reported to Chief
of Police Gallagher that he had lost
a gold watch which he priced highly,
because it was an heirloom, says the
Montclair, N. j., correspondent OF
the New York Times. Moore so i'm
pressed Chief Gallagher with his re-
greet over the loss of the heirloom
which he suspected might have been
stolen, that when he was leaving
the police chief said
"All right, sir; We'll leave no stone
unturned in order to find your
watch.
Moore went home and short
time later found the watch where he
had mislaid it. Thinking to relieve
the chief of any concern about the
lost watch, he hurried back to the
police station
On the way up Bloomfield avenue
a large force of laborers in the en-

stone pavement in the center of the

in time the fly, by proper methods,
will be entirely eradicated, but to

of such vital importance that it
would seem unnecessary to urge it

While the breeding places for flies
are permitted to continue and so
long as food stuff is left for free
contamination by the insects, the

is quite as liable to epidemics as the

So long as there are flies free and

When organized labor attempts to
enforce its demands, whether reas-
enable or not, by resorting to des-
truction of valuable property as a
means OF emphasizing its determin-
alton to control, it's claim for con-
sideration at the hands Of capital is
very materially weakened if not en-
tirely destroyed. That laborer who is
worthy of his hire, who makes his
employers interest his interest, who
recognizes that the capital which
creates the job is entitled to some
consideration as well as the man who
performs the work, very seldom finds
it necessary to resort to strike meth
DDS in order to have proper consid-
Grafton shown a reasonable and just
demand. Organized labor may have
it's grievances, but it is becoming
more and more a fact that the I'M
protected and unorganized employ
ers are the greatest sufferers
