THE SOUTHERN IMPROVEMENT
COMPANY.
From tho New York Herald, 17th.
Tlie rnminittee appointed by the
New York Petroleum Association to
visit the nil rcfjionfl relurneil yesterday
drtenioon to tliis fity, Iiaviiir nccotn.
plislied their misnion. A Herald re
porter last evening called nu Henry
11. Iio(rer!, elinirman nf tho commit
tee, to ascertain in a general way his
opinion relHti'.'es to the troubles in the
auo;..t. ti. r.. 11. : t...,.
.... a.wi'ii,n.i.i iiic i.Mi.tn nig 10 a cuui I
trrr P whut he ta,;ed - t
Wo went nut to the nil regions to
find out the (jxaet tate of afliiira there,
so that we imhl be uble to report to
the association liicts upnn which a bn
bis tnieht be limned Cor action. Tim
muse i.f the trouble lies between the
producers mid the .Southern Improve
ment Oiiupiiny. This company
got a charter l'roni the Ponnsylva
niti Legisliitiiie a year or so no,
nnd upon this commenced recently to
work in earnest. What the chnrter
allows them to do nobody knows; for
they refuse to show it, to any one or
make its provisions public to the mer
cantile world. At all events, whatev
er it be, the Southern Improvement
Company et to work nnd manipulated
tho three railroads running from the
oil regi .ns namely, tho Erie, New
York Central and Pennsylvania Cen
tral. It is said t li.it the railroad offi
cers, who are mostly Cleveland people,
have been entirely in control of the
leaders of the Southern -Improvement
Company, who are ulc'o Cleveland men.
The secret of the matter is (hat Cleve
land wants to retain its monopoly oi
the oil trade. From 'he very begin
ning Cleveland and Pittsburgh have
always had a leading inteie.it in oil,
and now that in a fair race they must
yield lo competition, they havo
STItAIXKI) EVERY NKUVE TO CUEATE A
MONOPOLY.
The object of the. Southern Improve
ment Company is to uid and sustain
Cleveland. As things have been go
ing on it was meant that oil produced
at the Creek should be sent to Cleve
land for refining and after being Pent
back again at a price at least equal lo
oil reliucd at the ('reek. Hence, it
may be seen at a glance how the rail
road interest wus uccewtary for the
monopoly. Controlling as they do
the three railroads, the monopolists
have been uble to control the price of
oil and in controlling tho price of oil
have been einiblod to become exclu
sive purchu.-ers. If any producer
dared to refuse to soli oil at the price
named by the monopoly, he could not
sell at all. If producers generally
hitherto held out against the price fix
ed bv the monopoly, they could not
sell at all. This delcmma was brought
about by the monopoly having control
of the railroads. If tho producers
sold to other buyers than the monopo
ly, then the latter, having control of
tho freight rates, so increased their
rales that it was uecessary for the pro
ducers to increase the price of oil.
Hence the monopolists have been
tilde 10 go into the market, fix the
price of the oil, and even compel tho
producer to sell at a loss to himself,
in response to allegations against them
such as those staled, the monopolists
alh'riii that their tiolo object has
been to bring about the harmonious
system of freight rates, nnd to this
etid only have they influenced ll.e rail
road people. Tho answer to this, how
ever, is that they persistently refube to
come to tiny sell led rate, that they
REFlSE TO BIIOW Til CI U CIIAHTKIl
and continue to work in a mysteiious
poweil'ul way, and that railroads could
control their own loads without tiie
Southern Improvement v-'oinpany. Un
der ihrse circumstances the producers,
nnd, in fact, t tie inhabitants of the oil
region generally, have come to the de
termination to resist the monopoly.
The entire region is divided into dis
tricts, each district having a commit
tee of its own, subject to the Gei.eral
Executive Committee, and through
these committees it is uow proposed to
beat the monopolists. Every produ
cer bus pledged himself to support tho
"Producers' Union," aud'each district
committee has been instructed not, un
der any circumstances or for any
price, to sell oil to the Southern Im
provement Company or any of its
agents. Already this resolve has come
into ellect, and during last week tho
monopolists were refused oil, and even,
in one case, a contract previously
made with them was broken by tho
producer, lint this opposition is only
uow at its start. It is felt all over the
whole region, a:id is on the increase in
bitterness. The producers can hold
out against what they cull "the ene
my" for about lour months, but they
need the assistance of capitalists, and
this, to some extent, they have already
got from iho eusteru cities. Probably
from tho western cities also they will
be liberally aided. They ofler, as se
curity lor money advanced to them,
the oil in the tanks, which is secured
by insurance and guaranteed us to
leukue. The producers want to get
a combined refining capacity for tho
total production of crude oil, uud this
they say they must have. As a fitst
Hep they mean immediately to hold
A CONFERENCE WITH THE T: A II. ROAM
PEOPLE,
and ascertain once for nM what sha'l
be the settled scale of prices for ship
ping. Tiie monopoly ii already begin
ning to feel the idled of (he opposi
tion. Oil has been coming to New
York for gome days past which tnpy
feared to interfere with awing to the
strong feeling now existing in the Oil
Regions. The probability is that the
producers will come to the determina
tion, at least so it is whispered among
themselves to order the monopoly to
close up their tanks pod leave the Oil
Regions altogether. The seriousness
of this trouble may bo understood
when it is s'atcd that petroleum is the
third highest export from the country,
it nmountiug to about fiflv million
dollars a year. If any monopoly could
succeed here it could easily succeed in
commanding the prices nf the foreign
market. Of course, while the combat
against the monopoly continues, work
must be comparatively dull in the oil
country. Thousands of working peo
ple arc now idic.
The capacity of the several cities
for refining in the nvernge is New
York, 6,000 a day; the Creek, 7,000;
Buffalo, Erie, Pittsburgh, Philadel
phia, Cleveland and Boston, exclusive
of the monopolists' property, about
5,000 in the aggregate. Tho average
daily production of crude oil during
February was about 18,000 barrels a
day, but this will be materially dimin
ished this month, as the pumps will
nil be stopped on Sunday, nnd no new
wells will bo drilled. It is intended
also, when possible, to stop the fulfil
ment of all contracts until the p.esent
difficulty is over. The number of pro'
ducing wells is about 4"), 000, all of
which are located within an nrea of
2.H00 square miles. About 400 new
wells are drilled every month, but of
these only about twenty five per cent,
prove successful. The average exhaus
tion of wells is about equal to the new
supply trained. The producers have
got a refining capacity three times as
gn at as is the production, and thus
are capable of refining the entire pro
duction of crude oil.
It is probable that the Petroleum
Assocition will take decided action on
I he report of the committee when it is
presented. All petroleum merchants,
equally with tiie froducers nt the
Creek, fed, it is staled that the break
ing up of the Southern Improvement
Company as a monopoly is a necessity
for ft'If-existcnce.
A Hercic Cabin Ccy.
During r.ne of the wars between
England and France, a fine English
merchant ship was pursue ! by a French
vessel of war. The English comman
der finding capture inevitable, quietly
retired to his cabin, and resigned him
self to his fate. Not so, however, with
his heroic littie cabin boy, Ch'U'ies
Wager, llo had formed a scheme by
which he hoped to save his own ship
and capture tins threatening enemy
fast bearing down upon them; and he
had no sooner communicated Ids plan
to the crew than they heartily agreed
with it, placed themselvts under his
orders, uud awaited with liniiness the
moment to carry their enterprise into
effect. The suspencc was of short dura
tion, for the Frenchman was soon
alongside, and immediately grappled
fast to the inoifeiiding merchant-ship.
As Char!e3 hud anticipated, the con
querors, elated with ihe acquisition of
so fine a prize, poured into his vessel
in crowds, cheering and huzzaing, and
not foreseeing uny danger, led but few
men on board their own ship. Now
was ihe moment for Charles, who, giv
ing his men the signal, sprang at their
head on board iho opposing vessel.
While, some seizud the arms which had
been left in profusion on her duck, uud
soon overpowered the few left on board,
the others, by a simultaneous move
ment, relieved her from the grappling
which united the two vessels. Ourbe
ro, now having the command of the
French vessel, seized the helm, placed
her out of boarding distance, and hail
ed with the voice of a conqueror the
discomfited crown of Frenchmen who
were left on board the peaceful bark
he had just quilted, ordering them to
follow close in his wake, or he would
blow them out of the water a threat
they well knew he was very capable of
executing, as their guns were loaded
during the cluso. They sorrowfully
acquiesced with his commands, while
gallant Charles etccred into port, fol
lowed by hi j prize.
Tho exploit excited universal ap
plause. The master of the merchant
vcsi-cl was examined by the Admiral
ty, when ho stated the whole of ihe
enterprise as it occurred, uud declared
that Charles Wager hud planned, and
that to him alone belonged the honor
und credit of the achievement. Charles
was immediately transferred to the
British navy, appointed a midshipman,
and u. s education careful!) ruperin
tcuded. lie soon alter distinguished
himself in action, und underwent a
rapid promotion until at length he
was created an Adjiirul and became
Sir Charles Wager.

A Railway Story.
The "Fat Contributor" writes to the
Cincinnati Time:
Lei me relate nn incident nf travel
that occurred when I was a frisky
young man with a fondness for voong
ladies' society. Understand me, 1 have
no dmtasiu for young ladies' society
now, but they don't eem to hanker so
much for mine as they did, say twen
ty year ago. This is natural enough.
I don't blame them only they don'i
know h t they are missing.
Ai friend and mysel:' got on board
an express train one afternoon to make
a short, trip. The car we entered was
full. Only one vacant scut in fact,
nnd that was alongside a very charm
ing young lady. Friend ami I em ii
made a dash for thut very desirable
vacant seat. It isn't a fair thing to
do, as a general thing, to trip a friend,
but it was allowable under the circum
st inces, and I gave him just, the slight
est trip in the world, just enough to
enable me to get the start. My Iriend
took a seat on the wood box, and look
ed vCry disconsolate. I think I added
to his discomfiture by certain trium
phant winks, nods, and motions in
. which I indulged. The young lady
I was attractive, some casual remark
'dropped on one side or the other
young folks will drop a remark noea
sionally, nnd are m..re ready to pick
it up again than old ones iiflbrdcduu
; opportunity to giide easily and pleas
I antly into conversation.
I She was witty ami sprightly, nnd I
' grew unusually brilliant; that is, to
the best of my recollection at this
somewhat remote day. My friend ob
serving this, looked madder than ever.
At length we reached : stati in where
the train stopped a moment. My friend
abdicated the wood box and rushed
out on the plulform. Suddenly lie li
turiied, uud coming quickly to me,
seized me b the collar and auid in u
tone heard all through the cur:
I "Quick now; get right oil' here.
; You can get a job here just as well as
. not. Thty tell me there is only one
j shoemaker in the place, and lots of
woik. So take your kit ami get off
before the train starts. No use nt
, looking any further for work. Tramp
ing all around the country (or a jobof
shoemuking won't pay. Take work
where you find it. That's my motto."
He almost forced nie out of the seal
with his vehemnnce, urn I if I hadn't
made a vigorous resistance he would
have had me out on the platform. The
young lady gave me one b.ok of su
preme disgu.-i a tramping jour.shoc
tnaker! thcr. directed her gaze out of
the window, and kept it there for the
remainder of the journey. My friend
remounted the wood box, and indulged
in such a series of fiendish grins uud
malignant chuckles as would have
justified me in hurling him from the
car, only I was too stujiefied by the
proceeding to proceed against him.
When I left the car the young lady
looked to see if 1 hadn't forgotten mv
"kit," nnd I am satisfied she thought I
hnd got off to "kick for a job," us
they say in khocmuker parlance.
A
A Scc;et fo. Women.
Many women who, before marriage,
u.ade it their study to please tho eyes
of the men they wished to marry, lose
their uflcclioii after marriage by care
lessness in cress. Men are fastidious
in this matter. Even those who are
careless in regard to their own appear
ance take delight in seeing their wives
neat in attire. They miss ll.ose coquet
ti.sh garments, ihe neatly dressed hair,
and all the thousand tasty and fuuei.
fill little articles with which young
women adorn themselves, more than
they would be willing to ullow. The
neatn 'SsunJ order whiclu'hurmed them
too often give dace to a slovenly morn
ing gown, f.'owsy huir, slipshod and
unlaced shoes, und the like. Men rea
sun that they should have the same de
sire to lease the men they have cho
sen after marriage us before it. The
last new song loses its charm coming
from the lips of a slattern. The poet
ry goes out of life ut a glance, and the
household Jose Its brightness. Ihe
wife who on account of household
cares neglects her personal appearance,
commits a grave mistuke, tthich too

The Crown Jewell of France.
Among the crowr. jewels of France
which are to be sold to help the nation
in its difficulties are some stones which
have a curious history. The famous
Regent or Pitt diamond is one of these.
Of course it was sti.Uu at first all
diamonds ate and came, in some mys
lerious way, into the possession of Mr.
Thomas Pitt, Governor of British In
dia, who sold it to the Prince Regent
of France. During the revolution of
1789 the Commune of Pari pillaged
the royal wardrobe, and this famous
jewel was lost fr several years, nnlil
one day a letter came to the authori
ties nt the Hotel dc, Ville, saving that
if they would g. to a certain tree in
the Champs Elyses, and dig to a con
siderable depth, it would be found.
This advice was followed, and the Re
gent was recovered. 'The Saucy, an
other famous diamond, has been before
the worl I for four centuries., or ever
since it belonged to Charles the B"bl,
of Burgundy, who lost it und his life
at the bailie of Nancy After this
the diamond passed through a variety
of adventures until it filially found its
way into the crown collection of
France. Among the crown jewels are
many pearls and sapphires. These
latter stones are said to bring good
luck, but even the great number of
them in this connection has failed to
rentier fortunate the different royal
famil:es who have from time to time
occupied the French throne.
