BUTCHERS NEW ASSOCIATION
Five Thousand Retail Butchers Of
New York Organize.

NEW YORK, May 19.-About 5000
retail butchers in this city have formed
a corporation which will use the by
products of the various retail estab-
lishments in the association in the
manufacture of oils, tallow, stearine.
soap and food by-products generally
instead Of as has been the custom,
selling these products to the large
wholesale beef concerns at prices which
retailers declare to be far below the
actual value of the products. Later on
the association will probably also es-
tablish its own Strengthening and
dressing plants, with the result, ac-
cording to Jacob Bloch, that the price
of meat will be brought within the
reach of all the people of New York
at lower prices.
Mr.. Bloch said that the association
was not formed to fight the trust but
to do business on an absolutely indie
pendent scale on a purely cooperative
basis.

president of the Merchants Bank of
the city, and filled this position until
his death. He was also a stakeholder
in many other banks. While exercis-
ing mis- power to lend money he be-
came known for his willingness to aid
worthy people. He also held stock in
some cases in large amounts, in the
Georges Greek Coal Co., the Mer-
chants and Miners Transportation Co.
and the Baltimore and Ohio r. r., in
which he was director and for time
chairman of it's finance committee.
He was also instrumental in sustain
ing the credit of the company, and in
insuring the completion and success
of the road, for when the road was
embarrassed during a panic, he en-
dorsed the notes of the company, thus
risking his private fortune in the en-
terprise. Mr.. Hopkins provided for a
convalescent hospital in a country
neighbornoOd, by will, and for hoem
in Baltimore for needy colored chill
dren.
At his request an incorporation was
formed in 1867, for the promotion of
education in the state of Maryland.
The trustees found on the death of Mr..
Hopkins, that after providing for his
near kin, he had left the bulk of his
fortune to the two institutions which
bear his name. Each received an en-
dowment of $3,500,000. He made pro-
visions for students from Maryland,
North Carolina and Virginia, tor ne
realized that these three states had
contributed greatly to his popularity.

minded men, with broad foresight,

THOUSANDS GREET
VISITING CRUISERS
Japanese Take Holiday to Welcome
Aso and Soya.

VANCOUVER, B. c., May 19.-Van-
couver welcomed the visiting Japanese
today. The banzais in welcome to the
visiting Warships Aso and Soya as they
rounded Brockton point with the con-
voying fleet of the steamers Balcarra
and Baramaba and a flotilla of gaily
bedecked Japanese fishing boats, with
the Hino Maru of Japan conspicuous,
were given byiJapanese; others looked
only mildly interested at the blue-gray
fortresses as they steamed in. The
welcome was by no means extravagant;
it was formal that was all.
To the Japanese, though, the occa-
sion was a great one. They fiocked
holiday in honor of their new cruis-
ers. The fishing fleet was transformed
into an excursion f1otilla, each sloop,
each galosine launch, was thronged
day garb, and shortly before noon these,
gaudily draped, proceeded out in the
wake of the Belcarra and Baramaba,
both crowded with Japanese, to shout
welcoming banzais
Most of the sawmills have been closed
as the result of the visit, the Japanese
workers calling a holiday.
Two bands were taken out on the
Belcarra and Baramaba to play the
"Kimi Ga Yo" as the Warships were
met and on the Baramaba were the
children of the Japanese school, about
a hundred boys and girls, dressed i'll
white and carrying bouquets and Japa-
nese flags, with a tot arrayed in
japanese uniform and carrying a sword
as large as himself, as the leader.
The Japanese quarter, between Pow
ell and Alexander streets, is decorated.
All the Japanese boarding houses are
arrayed with bunting and prOfusion
of Japanese flags, over which, however,
the Union Jack or Canadian flag is
hoisted. The Royal Vancouver Yacht
Club has issued an invitation to the Of
ficers of the japanese squadron, ex-
tending the privileges of the club dur
ing their stay, and offering them the
use of the float at Coal Harbor belong
ing to the club.

There are however, few points of in
terest about hte life of ohns Hopkins.
He acquired his property by slow and
sagacious methods. He bought a large
library and many oil paintings, but
did not live in costly fashion. He
never married and ha dino immediate
family The significance of his life
lies in the fact that he labored to &C.
cumulate a fortune, with a direct and
definite object in view-to do good to
his fellow men. He died in Baltimore,
