RUSINESS ADMIRATION.

NEEMBERS Of the New York Chamber of Com
i Il merce evidently weary Of the cost and ex-
pense of litigation in the courts have decided
upon speedy and inexpensive plan to adjust
their differences.
II provides that in any matter OF controversy
the dsputants, to obtain the Chambers means of
arbitration, must sign a form OF submission stat
ing briefly the nature of the controversy. The
parties bind themselves to agree 10 the decision
of the arbitrators, which decision is then entered
as judgment of the Supreme Court of the state
of New York.
The Chamber of Commerce has appointed list
of 200 arbtrators. The disputants may chose one
individual as sole arbitrator or they may select
two who shall select the third. II is proposed to
settle cases on their merits, and men in business
like the members of the New York chamber are
very apt to get at the merits of case when pre-
sented to them.
This arbitration plan has many advantages. 1t
is far less expensive and judgment is likely to
be as just any trial by jury. The good points are
so obvious that it is strange that business men
long ago did not make more use of the arbitra-
ton scheme such as that 10 be followed in New
York
Cases are frequently tried before referees, and
the New York plan is an improvement on the re-
teree system as it is usually practiced.

They Are Closely Observing Public
Health Conditions.
An examining physician for one of
the prominent Life Insurance Com
panies, in an interview on the sub
ject, made the astonishing statement
that the reason why so many appli-
cants for insurance are rejected is
because kidney trouble is so common
to the American people, and the large
majority of applicants do not even
suspect that they have the disease.
He states that judging from his own
experience and reports from drug
gists who are constantly in direct
touch with the public, there is one
preparation that has probably been
more successful in relieving and cur
ing these diseases than any remedy
known. The mild and healing influence
of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is soon
realized II stands the highest for its
remarkable record of cures.
We find that Swamp-Root is strict
ly an herbal compound and we would
advise our readers who feel in need of
such a remedy to give it trial. 1t is
on sale at all drug stores in bottles of
two sizes-fifty-cent and One-dollar.
However, if you wish first to test
its wonderful merits, send to Dr. Kill
mer & Co., Binghamton, ~ Y for a
sample bottle, absolutely free. When

NEW ORGANIZATION.

q ONE of our manufacturers evidently alarmed
- because of the unjust tax imposed upon
them at the last session of the Legislature are to
form association of business men,
We do not know in what respect the object
Of the association will differ from that of the
Board Of Trade. Evidently there must be opin-
ion that the Board has not served the purpose that
the manufacturers interested in the movement
think it should serve. There is no great objection
TO the new association, but The Journal thinks
it would be better if those who are promoting it
should put into the Board of Trade the energy they
are manifeSting in the new association.
One strong central body, properly supported
financially and otherwise would be able to accom-
plsh everything that the new association may hope
TO accomplish.

GUNPeWDER AND KID

Some OF the newspapers are repeat
ing remark credited to Mr.. Gelett
Burgess: "And my notion of the
uniyerse's dullest thing is a photo
graph of an actor at his summer
home"
The curious thing about this is that
like a great many more of Mr.
Burgess's sayings, this has been said
before.
II is a dreadful thing to be a pro-
fessional humorist. Il is a difficult
reputation to have to sustain, and
there are times when the sustention
of it is far beyond the powers of the
bulwark. Take the average after
dinner speaker who has a more or less
humorous story to relate. Directly
he comes to this he interpolates the
remark, "as Gelett Burgess Said" or
"as Oliver Herford remarked at a
dinner at the Lambs Club" and the
cheerful diners go away with the In
sistent belief that either Mr.. Burgess
or Mr.. Herford was responsible for
the humor of the situation.
There are occasions, too, when the
speaker must blame the story on
somebody and the only humorist who
comes readily to mind is Abraham
Lincoln. The sad tales that have
been blamed upon him are i'm the
name of legion, and if that good man
can hear today the stories which are
credited to him he either wishes TO
free a few slaves of tradition or he
wishes some of the more bloody bat
ties might have been kinder to him
by eliminating a few ancestors of
present day story tellers.
One Of the stories credited most
efficiently TO Mr. HerfOrd is that con =
corning the time he was a guest at a
dinner and honey was served. II is
said that Mr.. Herford asked his
hostess if it cost much to keep a bee.
The retort has become proverbial and
is classic dating back to the days of
Sidney Smith.
Yet we learn by this that reputa-
tions are builded otherwise than on
originality.
EuEtne Iltlu Is one WHO keth
blamed a whole lot for stories he
never dreamed of repeating, and the
tales told of Robert Burns are mani
fold-and for the most part untrue as
to his originating them. Mr.. Burgess
is. therefore, in pretty good company,
even if he does spring as original

the novice he really is. For Browns
