MT. Deming said, seeing isfied. but that he did not like the idea of lodging such an issue. Charles Schovflle said that ten or twelve years ago he could have bought for $3,000 the land on which the county home is located and for which $12.000 had been paid.

 DRY GOODS FALSELY LABELED Letter Sent to Merchants and Depart ment Stores by Clement J. DriscoIi

New York, June 2s.-Not only does the patient public pay for wooden skewers by the ton at the full price of dressed beef, and accept short weight provisions of every description without murmur. but even the linen on the bed and the towels on the rack are often short measure
 A letter, in part as follows. was sent to all the great dry goods merchants and department stores in the city to- day by Clement J. Driscoll, commits sioner of weights and measures:
 An examination by my Inspectors discloses a practice of putting on the market various dry goods falsely la beled as to measurement. It is evil dent that the wholesaler did not in tend to defraud the retailer, but rather to place in his hands means to de- fraud his customers. The poor peddler with a small scale would not cheat as much in ten years as the great busi- ness houses cheat in one day. This seems to be another case of disguis- ing a deliberate theft by the term trade custom"
 Accom- panying the letter was a copy of the section of the penal code cover ing short measure frauds.
