The First Department Store

~@~>
To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: You note in an editorial that
Duxbury, Mass, claims the first de-
partmept store-Ford's store, which
recently burned down.
The first department store, as that
term is generally understood, was,
believe, that of Joseph O'Brien & Co.,
Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn. In 1853
Joseph O'Bren, julius Meyer and Ed
ward Capen formed partnership and
opened strictly dry goods store at
1856 Atlantic Avenue. In 1857 the build
ings, 151 to 159, were bought. The
next year a system Of accounting was
devised for nineteen separate depart
ments to show whether they individu-
ally were profitable or otherwise and
enable the firm justly to award a por-
tion of the profits to the heads of
those department who earned them.
In 1873 Meyer and Capen retired.
Mems and boys clothing, mems GUS
tom tailoring, dressmaking. upholstery,
shoe and furniture departments were
added in the order named during the
next FIVE, years, and a yearly business
Of nearly million was reached in
1883.
In 1884 the Brooklyn Bridge was
opened, diverting tie retail business to
Fulton Street. The dry goods depart
nients were closed out in 1888 and the
last of the other departments in 1901.
The delivery outfit consisted of about
fifteen bundle boys and three horses
and wagons, one furniture truck.

he is wrong, at least in the only in

of this Dome Of Delight writes what

The Right of the Highway.

34@~ A&4$%9&& NE @4@S @44&J4A -
1t is a we'll known principle Of English
Common Law, that everyone of the
Kings subjects has a right to use the
highways without mo~lestation. No per-
son Or number of persons have the right
to block or obstruct the road to the
annoyance or inconvenience of any one.
Even the Kings troops when on the march
dress to a flank so as to make loom for
passengers on the off side. These we'll
known precepts, however, seem to be
becoming greatly ignored in this island
nowadays, and members of the various
Friendly Societies appear-from one or
two recent observations-tO take the idea
into their heads that when they are on
parade or demonstration of any sort,
everything and every person-vehlcles
of any and every sOrt-must give Wav
and wait until their parade has passed.
Only a few days ago we saw a case in
point. There was a funeral of a respect
ed old citizen which took place at the
st. Johns Cemetery. There was another
of a member of one nf the Friendly
Societies; we believe it was an organlza-
ton known as The Trade and Labour
Union" also. After the ~obseQuies of both
parties had taken place the members of
the Society in order to arrange a march
back to their lodgeroom assembled in
the road and the officers. of the lodge
actually prevented several persons aad
vehicles from passing until they had
passed down to the second cross street.
One of these people actually held the
head of the horse attached to a buggy in
which a lady was seated and demanded
that she wait until the procession had
reached down St. Johns Street and
turned off there.
We know it is quite admissible for
roads to be cut off from traffic for re-
pairs, or by Police authority when there
is a special function so as to prevent
a blocking up; but we know of no law
which allows Friendly Societies to block
traffic during their parades.
Now we beg to call the special atten-
ton of the Police Authorities to this
matter, so that they may take the neces-
sary steps to prevent what may probably
lead to a serious disturbance some day.
These Society folks should be taught that
their proper marching order should be
such as not to occupy but one half of the
street or road, so as not to obstruct traf-
fc. If what happened to that lady had
happened to a strong man, they would,
no doubt, have been some horse whip
ping, which, of course, would have led

The donor of the mummy hand was
a woman 80 years old, who gave her

MANY CORN DISEASES
BROUGHT WITH SEED

Clemson College, Oct.-Until re-
cent years corn was considered prac-
tically free Of diseases except smut.
That it is actually subject to a num-
Der of other serious diseases which
are carried on the seed was hardly
even dreamed, but investigations Of
the last years have shown this to be
the case. 1t is, therefore, very import
ant that seed corn be selected with
the greatest care regarding freedom
from disease, say the Clemson COL
lege plant pathologists.
The preliminary selection of seed
corn ears should always be made in
the field, where the characteristics
which make for freedom from dis
ease as well as other desirable
characteristics, can be discovered.
The first requirement is a good
sized, vigorous ear on an upright,
vigorous stalk. Nubbins and down
stalks are apt to be caused by di-
sease. Moreover, an ear lying on the
ground is apt to be moist and in
fected with fungi. The worst enemy
of the corn ear is water, because if
the ear under the shucks remains
damp after ripening it will inevitably
be infected with molds and bacteria
and be spoiled for planting purposes.
On account of this, ears Of corn which
stand up straight are also apt to be
damaged because the water can run
down under the shucks. Choose for
seed those ears which hang over and
thus shed rain water. However do
not pick an ear with broken shank,
as such shank probably has been
weakened by fungous attack.
Next discard all ears which show
evidence Of being moldy. Mold can
sometimes be discovered on the up
per part of the grains, but generally
will require more careful examina-
ton. Examine the end Of the cob
carefully where the shank breaks off
when gathering. A moldy discolora-
tion is sufficient cause for rejection.
Such ears are apt to have lot Of
diseased grains. Next remove a num-
Der of grains and examine grains
and cob. Moldiness of grains or cob,
or death Of the germs, is sufficient
cause for rejection. In some cases it
may be necessary to break the ear
in two and examine the cob in Or
der to be sure of the condition.
Having selected good, sound ears,
store them properly. Thoroughly dry
out, with the aid of artificial heat if
necessary and store in a dry place.
Molds and diseases can not make
any headway if things are kept dry.
This procedure will give a high
class lot of seed corn; but even so,
more seed should be saved than will
be necessary at seeding time, for
many sound appearing ear will not
germinate well, and many such will
germinate perfectly but produce
weak and diseased stalks. Even the
most careful selection needs to be
supplemented later with a test for
oerroie ation and. d;caacor
