THE CHEWING GUM TRADE
The Way a Man Well Known in Ari
zona Got Into It.
W. E. Curtis has an ai tit le in a late
issue of the Chicago Record-Herald
'ailed "Fortunes in Chewing Gum." It
is an interesting story r.t the growth
of a great business which is still less
than a Quarter of a century old. That
Is, it is less than a ouarter of a cen
tury since it became recognized as a
great industry though chewing gum
had been made and used long before
that. Mr. Curtis gives a brief sketch
or the fortunes of the well know!
f hawing gum kings, the Adamses, tlK'
Hc-emans and the Primleys. H aiso
rp-'aks of William J. Whit famous a.
the maker of White's Yucatan Of
him h- se.ys:
"William J. White of 'lvoland, who
used to peddle gum of his own making
about the office buildings of that city,
and on matinee days stood in front of
the tneaters w ith a tray suspend? I
from his m-ek that contained his stock
in trad". In l-ss7 he adopted a new
Ilavor of peppermint, which struck the
popular fancy and made Mr. AVhito a
millionaire. He now owns costly resi
dences in "lvelarid and Florida, keeps
a yacht and a stable of race horses,
has served a term in congress and ha:'
bf-n the h'-ro of a very sensation. i"
scandal, all of which is due to tht gum
business.
"An interesting story
efforts of a relative of
is told of the
Mr. White to
introduce his gum into Chicago with
out suc cess, until finally that individual
ea:.i" her" himself in 1SX with a bag
of families and peddled them around
until he. succeeded in having it placed
on sale. A few years later, fluting the
world's fair, Mr. White made his sec

from 'level. Hid through the lakes in
his sumptuous yai ht called the "Say

COST OF GROCERIES.
From statistic of prices pecently fur
nished by a grocer in business previous
to the civil war it ia shown that flour
retailed1 for $7.50 per barrel in 1850. In
1856 it had risen to $12.50 per barrel,
says the Retail Grocers' Advocate.
Rut during the year 1S65. when the
war closed, prices had reached mar
vellously high figures. For instance.
Hour sold for $L'0 per barrel, sugar, 3'5
cents per pound; butter. GO cents; cof
fee, 60 to 70 cents; tea, $1.40 to $1.60 per
pound; oil, $1.05 to $1.15 per ciuart: po
tatoes, $1 per bushel; soap, 20 cents
per pound; eggs, 60 cents per dozen,
and other things in the same propor
tion. After 1S66, when the extreme limit
in prices was reached ,they began to
steadily decrease. As compared with
Or. Lyons

present prices thore
of 18GC were ful'y
20 per cent higher.
Some rrrdical changes may be Fe?n
in the prices of Hour now at $1.80 per
barrel and in when it was $8.25 or
in lSG.a at $20 per barrel. It is there
fc:" new at Its. lowest figure. ,
Take sngar also. In 1802 It was 12
cents per pound: in 1S6,", 33 cents; now
it is 5 and f tents. Butter was 19 cent'?
in IS'iO, but had advanced to CO cents t
per pound in 1S05.
Oil is another leading staple which
his shown wonderful fluctuations in
price. Selling for $1.05 to $1.15 per gal
lon in 1SG5, it has now decreased to 10
and 12 cents per gallon, a vast
fcr the consumer. In 1S"0 It sold
cents, in IK.'.X at $1 rnd in 1ST5
gain
at -O
at 1
cents per gallon.
Potato prices have been regulate-l
largely by the yield. Tn 1S7.0 they sold
at C. cents, in 1857 at $1, in 1880 at $1.13
and in 1892 at f." cer.ts per busln-1. This
year they have been as high .as $1.25
to $2.;" per bushel.
It will therefore be seen that all the
above articles are lower now than 25
years to 40 years ago, and the same,
may be said of more than 100 other dif
ferent groceries.
For the most part, the grocers' profits
have gradually decreased on all articles
since the close of 1872. the panic season,
nor is there any likelihood for a better
condition of affeirs for :er.:e time to

Mr. Dlngley is an eart.-:n?r in thought

His w hole appearr.nce is on of re
finement. Of medium height and good
square shoulders Mr. Diogl-y is not
the pert of man to pass unnoticed in
th- crowd upan a political platform or
at a social gathering. Iiis eyes are
dark and penetrating, his forehead
rather hiqh and well deve-Piped, his hair
parted a little to the side and brushed
back smoothly, giving an added depth
of forehead. The dark moustache and
pointed beard add to the distinguished
ir notioceble in his general makeup.
In his f.tlice and at his desk Mr. Ding-
ley works steadily. When interru-.itd
by business callers he is affable and.
coin terms, but avoids unnecessary use
of wards, and talks directly to th?
point. A fact often noticed by such
visitors U th;it he always has- a point
to talk to. and seems to gi;ip a politi-cr.-l
Filtration instantly, out iinin:; the
fic tion he e n:-id-rs right for himself

of this he j? omjftimea considered

and hir, idr of ::e:ni-coir ious
knowledge ef his own elacatiin and
posit irti is often chosen by h; ; o-.-mics
as a point of attack.

It v.-cs Ihis fact more than any other
that prevented his renominatlon for

after he had served two terms with
distincti- n. When the first renrrsenta

Dinglev made no effort to secure ward
delegations favorable to himself. La
ter, at his own reouest, his name was
withdrawn, and although ther? was a
majority sentiment in the convention
favoring Mr, Dingley. a split-up placed
another man in nomination.

SHORT-LIVED ROYALTIES.
"One cf th? tieouliarities of the the.at
rical prof sion that int?rests me." scid
a manager who has come into contact j
with. a great many actors in the course '
of a long career, to a New Y-ork Sun
i epoi ter, ""is their absolute refusal t
see things in the same light rs the rest '
cf the world. While pretesting that
they are not in any way different from
other men and w omen, they cling so ob- '
stinately to their own ponts of view
that nothing in the world can really
change- them. j
"Thus a well-known actor, who takes
his art very se; iously and is chronically
disturbed because his countrymen do
not more frequently rise up and call
him the greatest of living actors in this
or nny either country, has erne marked
peculiarity which shows itself with
authors in whose plays he acts. He
has other peculiarities, but they t.r?
c hietly directed against the ac tors who
happen to be associated with him. It
is this spec i ll peculiarity in its present
stage which h is led him to devote his
attention to the works of authors who
have been dead too long to collect roy
alties. "He never pays more than a certain
r.mount royalties on any play. He has
made that a princ iple ever since he be
gan to accept plays. He will pay regu
laily for a certain length of time. Then
when the author has received for ftis
play as much as the actor thinks it is
worth, payment of the royalties ceases.
It m-ay seem to the outsider that this
is a diilleult thing for the actor to ac
complish in view of contracts and oth
er safeguards that authors have. Hut
even contracts ar not proof against
the maneuvers cf this noted actor.
"He usually begins by reducing the
number of performances of a play if
the contract reejuires him as most
theatrical contracts do to pay a large
percentage when the receipts represent
more than a certain amount. Thus, as
he has a repertory, it is easy for him to
make a c hange in the programme every
week.
"Then he will stop paying any roy
alties at all. The author or his law
yers then get at him and he will pay
a part of them. Then he stops again.
The author arouses him again by legal
means. Usually the actor is traveling
from place to place, and it is not al
ways easy to get at him.
"In eifie way or another the actor
harasses the author, giving him only
a small part of the royalties due, and
generally being frank enough to tell
him as the season is nearing its close
that he does not propose to give any
more. No man in ordinary business
could get out of an obligation in that
way and still have credit enough to go
on."

VALL'E OF THE EUCALYPTUS.
That phenomenal tree of the Austral
ian deserts, the eucalyptus, which has
been planted for forty years In the dry
soil of our southwest, where it is com
monly known as the blue gum, or rcl
gum, is the subject of a bulletin soo.i
to be issued by the bureau of forestry
under the title "Eucalyptus Cultivated
in the Ui ited States."
Although of foreign origin, says Field
and Forest, the eucalyptus seems spec
ially fitted to the dry country of Ari
zona, New Mexico, southern California
and western Texas, where its value
would be hard to overestimate. Its
ccr.'idorab'.e part. IIi3 fathers
drorght-resisting powers enable it to
flourish where no large American tree
will grow. It yields oil, gum, nectar
lor honey bees, furni?he3 shade for th?
ranch house, windbreaks for field crops
and firewood fcr localities where fuel is
scarce. But its chief value lies in the
possibilities it holds fcr the reforesta
tion of the bare, dry mountain sides of
the desert country and for the protec
tion of irrigating streams. It is spec
ially . adapted for such purposes by
reason of its rapidity of growth in arid
soil.
No American species can equal the
extraordinary development of this ex
otic from remote -Australia. On the
j ranch of El wood Cooper, near Santa
I Barbara, Cal., there are eucalyptus 2'
years eld, as great in girth as oaks of
300 years. And time and again the
species called blue gum has, when cut
to the ground, sent up sprouts from the
Btuttip which in eight years have reach
ed a height cf 100 feet. Nor does this
l.tpidity of growth f-horten the life if
the tree, for the eucalyptus, in its
Australian home, reaches, a great age
and rivals in size? the giant redwoods
and big trees of California.

Ql'AINT CUSTOMS IX LONDON?"
A hot of quaint old c ustoms, says
the London Daily Mail, linger round
and about the famous "King's Guard"
at St. James palace. t,ul perhaps none
is mole curious than that which de
crees that h's majesty's health sh I
not be drunk at dinner except when the
Scots guards are on guard. The omis
sion, when one reflects that thi3 one.
toast, even when r.o ethers are drunk,
is invariably honored every evening p :
every regimental moss and guardrccm
dinner throughout the British empire,
is sufieiently striking. The explana
tion lies in the fa' t th-.t the regiment
from acr ss the border was at on? time
. i suspected or. leaning towaru jacooi.-
ism, ana so tne otneer;; were, spec-iany
c-rdered to diink his majesty's health,
after dinner, thos? of other corps being
forbidden to do so, in order to make
the enforced loyalty of th? Scotsmen
fitand cut in clearer relief.
It was also ordered that they shoull
not be allowed to use linger glasses af
t:r dinner lest they should drink to
"the king over the water," r.nd finger
glasses are in consequence tabooed
there cn these occasions to this day.
