The Flour Trust Formed-
The Eastern Milling & Export com
pany, which was incorporated last
week at Trenton, N. J., with a capital
of $4,000,000, has secured options on
a long list of the;fiouring mills in this
state. Among the number is the
Flemington mill. Mr. Kelsey recently
stated that it is likely that the papers
will be signed in a short time. The
xompany has been formed to control
the supply of flour in this section of
the country. Lock Haven Democrat.
Comfort for Letter Carriers-
An innovation, looking to the com
fort of letter carriers throughout the
country darmg tne heat of summer,
probably will be introduced this year
by official permission to them, to di
vest their coats on their rounds when
felt to be necessary. It is expected
that (he po&tmaster general will soon
issue an order formally granting au
thorny tc postmasters for this purpose
and modifying the requirements so as
to a'low the carriers to wear a suitable
gray blouse with turn down collar and
a black tie.
PENNA. SUNDAY SCHOOLS-
There Are Nearly a Million and a Half in
Attendance.
The most reliable statisics of Penn
sylvania Sunday schools put them one
hundred thousand scholars and teach
ers ahead of the next in numbers, our
more populous neighbor, New York.
Pennsylvania leads the Union with
10,145 schools, 173,151 officers and
teachers, and total membership, 1,-403,553-
But it is likely that there
are neatly 1,000 more schools and 10,
000 more scholars in the Mate. Mr.
Hugh Cork, one of the state associa
tion's field workers, is now gathering
figures with his untiring energy and
thoroughness, and the result is eagerly
awaited. The value ol exact figures
can not oe overestimated for Christian
work. They will show that less than
15 per cent, of population probably
are yet enrolled in Bible teaching
schools, and will spur every worker to
griater effort and show just where the
effort may be most successful. Secre
taries of county associations are assist
ing Mr. Cork, and it is hoped every
superintendent will promptly respond
10 the request for figures when he re
ceives it. The Pennsylvania IleraM,
913 Crozer building, Philadelphia, will
iive the results and the interesting
developments of this state canvass by
Mr. Cork.

A Famous Old Canal.
The days of the Pennsylvania canal
are now numbered and soon the fam
ous old waterway will be abandoned
forever. Minufactuiers and others
have bien notified to look else
where for their supply. The canal,
which was built by the State, came
into possession of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company by purchase in
1859. The Pennsylvania Canal, and
its branches, consist of 144 miles of
navigable canal, with a width at wat
er line of fifty two feet, extending
from Columbia, Lancaster county, to
Northumberland, thence to Luzerne
county, and from Northumberland to
Loyal Sock, near Williamsport. Gen
eral Isaac J. Wistar is president of the
company, and Thomas T. Wireman,
of Harrisburg, is its chief engineer. It
is a model of canal navigation in its
construction, an J all of its appliances
and in the maintenance of its sixty
locks (overcoming 277 feet in eleva
tion), 99 houses for employes; 73
wasteways and overflows, covering
7,322 feet of surface; 309 bridges,
71 culverts, five dams, across large
streams; 33 aqueducts, comprising
2,832 feet of superstructure; 193 canal
boats, 8 lumber boats, all involving a
watchful care and zealous supervision.
Although the traffic on the canal has
not yielded any profits to its owners
for some years, it is, nevertheless, a
worthy monument of the once famous
line of Pennsylvania's system of inter
nal improvements which formed a
memorable part in the history of the
Commonwealth.

'resident Shaffer, in spending of tin
meet ins tndny, said, with considerable
emphasis:
"i shall ndviv ami nrge nil the mem
bers of the board to vote for nn inime
dinte closing of nil the tilntit of the
American Sheet Steel company in tin

the fight, and I will say nothing further
on the subject."
It is estimated that CO.IMIU men will jrn

works is given.
When nsUeil if the association could
win by simply shutting down the sheet
mills and whether an order would lc
sent out to close oil tin- union till plate
and steel plauts of the T'uited States
Steel corporation. Mr. Shaffwr replied:
"I will say not hint; more than 'this is
the beginning,' and you can take what
ever meaning you desire from what I
hove said."
The ollii'ials of the American Sheet
Steel company stnted yesterday that
about 11 tires were at work and thnf ap
plications for employment were coining
in rapidly. It was slated that 73 appliea
lions were received Monday, but the ap
plicants were informed that no definite
answer Would be given them for Ncrcrnl
days.
An official very close to the manage
ment of the shi-ot steel company said
yesterday that it is the intention of the
company to close down the McKecsport
plant for an indefinite period. The pres
est is not an opportune time for a labor
contention, owing to the transitory slate
of the compan; 's future policy, caused by
its absorption by the I'nited States Steel
corpoi atiou.
It wus further stated that the nonunion
plants of the company were producing 4."
per cent of the tonnage of the commis
sion and that no serious inconvenience
would result to tin- trade by the suspen
sion of the union sheet mills.
The strikers secured accessions to theil
ranks yesterday by the 12." men in th(
Ktiobling department joiniug them. This
leaves only the steel mill ami the hum

continue in operation until the work now
in progress is finished, when the shut

lor 25c. in trade.
It pays to buy for cash.
5AHPLE OP CHECK.
It means that on April 8th, you bought and paid for meats to the
amount of $1.90 under our agreement that whenever such purchases
added together amount to $10, the return of the checks will entitle you to
25 cts. worth of meat Free.
In other words, we will pay a dividend of 2J3 per cent, on every $10
you spend in cash at our meat market, making you a partner in our bus

The check is printed and the transaction recorded and the dividend

transactions between clerk and customer.
You would pick up a dollar if you found it in the street, and think
you were in luck.
You can pick up dollars here by our dividend system.
But it is not luck, it is business good business.
We are bringing all our resources to bear to make it pay you to be
