of - Blumenthal had inspired in - the
minds of the strikers: It is intimated

New Bedford Mass.. Jan. .10 A
wireless message, reporting the steam
er Comet to be sinking off Nantucket

the, revenue cutter: Acushnet, which
left' immediately to Bender assistance.
The steamer in- distress is believed
to be a .Standard Oil Company boat
which left Boston for New Xork yes
terday. -
New York, Jan. 10 The Standard
Oil Company received a-wireless mes
sage today from the captain of the
Comet, saying that a . small leak had
been discovered 'after . the vessel left

fires were drawn. - j

BY WAY OF
On Thursday, the Standard published a list of street.
' sprinkling bill, containing the, following items :
Standard, 54 inches ........ $60.75
Farmer, 52 inches ......... $98.91
Over the Farmer's charge, our esteemed contempor
ary made ;quite a howl, not however characterizing' it as
"graft" but conveying that inference. - '
On Friday, the Standard undertook a correction, but
" in so muddled a manner that the average reader would
probably-be mystified which was possibly the intention.
Only one sentence was clear. Itfollows : f
"It is apparent that if the advertisement was inserted
in two additions of The Farmer the charge of $98.91 would
be correct." - " , - '
, The "word ."additions" was - probably intended for
"editions." "x ' --' 1 - ' ' -
v; v. Now, for a few words'of facts: ' .
- The advertisement. . 'came by messenger . to The
Farmer, and the order for insertion which was verbal, -was
understood as for two 'insertions. ,
It-was' published twice in The Farmer and charged '
for at .the regular rate, and billed at $98.91 which, as the
Standard admits, was correct for two insertions. ' -y -Promptly-on
ascertaining that the. advertisement
- should have been inserted but once, 'The. Farmer for
warded a new. bill fop, one insertion amount $49.45. The
rpresent record for the same advertisement, stands now: '
Standard, 54 inches -'$60.75 ' -'
Farmer, 52- inches i $49.45 1
v.; The difference in size is 14 inches. , -
.-he difference in price is $11.30. , It is perhaps due
' to-some - "peculiar method of keeping books."' Only in
some such way does it seem possible to explain why that
. 14 inches of excess is charged for at the rate of $9.04 an
.'inch;..:..'...':.'-.' . ','.'"'
