EDWARDS k = First Standard Oil Probe * New York Sun's Inquiries In 1878 Were Met With Courtesy but Silence, but the Information Was Obtained Elsewhere. In the early fall of 1S78 I was sent for by the late Charles A. Dana, edi tor of the New York Sun. and when I answered the summons I found him reading a communication from a cor respondent In Pennsylvania. The let ter was very brief; it suggested to Mr. D3na that he cause an investiga tion to be made into the history and methods of the Standard Oil company of Cleveland. O.. which about that time l.ad come to be looked upon as a trust, hy the oil world especially. As he handed me this letter Mr. Dana said: "You go out there and make an investigation: make it thor ough no matter how long it takes " I first went to the oil regions of western Pennsylvania and was there about three weeks. The oil producers gave me every facility for getting »ucb lnformatiot as was to be had in the oil regions. They also called my attention to certain litigation which had then been begun in Pensylvanla with intent to break up the Standard Oil company in so far as It operate*.’ ’n that state Having completed the investigation at Titusville and Oil r|tT. I went to Cleveland, presuming tli«t the officers of the Standard Oil company would be willing, if not anxious, to famish me with informa tion which would serve to explain some of the more grievous charges made ag:.:nst it and Its methods by the oil producers Furthermore. I had no doubt the Standard Oil company woaid be glad cf an opportunity to gain the public ear and to explain the economic principles which had led to t^-e organization of the so-called trust. " hen I called at the main offices of 'he Standard Oil company, after an annoying amount of red tape had been unraveled 1 was received by a very pleasant-faced and gracious mannered young man. He listened with apparent earnestness and sincer ity as I stated that It was Mr Dana's desire that an absolutely impartial and p-erfeetly fair report, based upon inves'icatlons Into the rise and growth of the Standard Oil company, be printed In the New York Sun. "Have you ever been to Cleveland before*" he asked with utmost polite ness as I finished. “Only to pass through by train.” I replied “It 1* a beautiful city.” he said: “j < u should not return to New York w 'fcout seeing lt“ “I cannot return to New York.” I replied, "until I have learned, from the point of view of your organiza tion, something of its history and growth, and have obtained from you, if possible, some answer to tne se rious accusations that are made against your company by the oil pro ducers of Pennsylvania.” The young man continued to smile blandly. But not the slightest indi cation did he show of a desire in any way to serve me. "Can I see Mr. John D. Rockefel ler?" I asked . A flitting but intense expression of surprise and reproach passed over the young man's countenance Then he resumed his bland smile, simply saying: "Nobody sees Mr. Rockefeller these days." "Could 1 see Col. Oliver Payne?" I asked. "Colonel Payne is a very busy man; I would not care to ask him to make an appointment with you.” "Who, then, is there, with whom 1 may talk and who can furnish me with the information I require?” "I don't think there is any informa tion; there is nothing to say.” "Have you been instructed to tell me this?” I asked. With the most affable smile imagin able and the utmost courtesy and def erence of manner the young man re plied: "It was not neceseary to Instruct me. Have you been to the theater?” I understand that Robson and Crane are playing In a very funny farce call ed 'Our Boarding House' at a local theater. L should be glad to send you a ticket." “Then this Is the answer that I am to make to Mr. Dana?” I replied— “that the Standard Oil company has no information to give?” “As you please." he said. “Well.” I replied, “yon may say to your superior officers that if I can't get the Information at first hand I will get it at second hand." “That, also, is as you please.” he said, politely. If the smiling young man read the Sun he must have discovered about two weeks later, in an article cover ing a page and a half, that much of the information I had sought from him I had obtained elsewhere. Thnt was, 1 believe, the first investigation into the history and growth of the Standard Oil company which was ever made. In later years some of the officers of that company confessed that it might have been the better part had they taken the public into their confidence In the beginning of the trust's career.

Million That Might Have Been *--—-____ Commodore Alfred Van Santvoord’s Regret Because He Didn't Make a Quick Turn In St. Paul Stock During Panic of 1901. The late Commodore Alfred Van Santvoord. who owed his title to his prominence in the Hudson river steamboat business, (when he died In 1901 he was the largest owner of riv ; er steamboats in America), but who was also a very able railroad man. having been a director in several big railroad companies, combined a large amount of cariMon with a very strong spirit of enterprise. He accumulated in the course of his long and honor able business career a large fortune by constructive t4brk in the transpor tation business and by wise invest ! ment. He was worth seven or eight million dollars when he died. But al j though he had won success and for | tune ample enough to satisfy the am bitions of most men. his last years, as his friends believed, were made some what unhappy by a single thought— the thought of the million that might have been his. Commodore Van Sanvoord was a man of large frair-' E"d feature, with smooth shaven face ..ud clear, keen gray eyes, a man of great dignity and composure, yet most affable and gen ial. It was very seldom, indeed, that his customary composure and affabil ity were affected by circumstances. But at the time of the famous Northern Pacific corner in 1901—when Hill and Harriman were lighting for the control of that system, and the value of Northern Pacific, and Chi cago, Milwaukee * St. Paul shares rose several hundred points in a few days, causing one of the worst bear panics on record—Commodore Van Santvoord was observed by his friends to be somewhat restless and dis traught. He hung over the ticker in H*® N’ew \ ork broker’s office where he usually went when be wanted to buy or sell stocks but at this time he seemed to be neither buying or sell ing. His friends felt sure that he was cot caught in the squeeze, and that he was not threatened with any loss. His operations were always too con servative for that to be likely. Yet it was evident that something was weighing on his mind, and that the stock market situation was absorbing his attention. The panic was as sho-t as it was severe.^ The conflicting Hill and Har 5 riman Interests were adjusted and | slocks dropped back to their normal I level far more rapidly than they had riven to their sensational high figure, j Commodore Van Santvoord. when the calm came, recovered his composure and affability, but those who knew him well detected an unwonted sol emnity in his expression. “Is any thing the matter? Aren't you feeling well today. Commodore?" one of his friends asked him. in some concern. "Oh. I'm feeling all right—that is, my health is good.” he replied. “But I’m feeling rather chagrined. As a matter of fact. I feel as though I were out a million dollars by this panic.” “How is that? Do you mean that you have actually lost a million?” “No. I haven’t actually lost a dol lar. But I own quite a block of Chi cago. Milwaukee & St. Paul stock. I could have sold It a few days ago at a very high figure, bought it back to day at a very low figure, and made a million by the transaction. And I didn't sell it.” "Well. Commodore, what do you want another million for?” his friend asked "A man always hates to miss a chance to make a million dollars.” he replied, with a laugh that yet had a tinge of sadness in it And it was said truly, probably, ^hat he never ceased to regret that he missed this chance. f Copyright.

Old Coat That Made a Success Garment That Ned Scthern Wore as Lord Curdrecry in "Our American Cousin” Was Borrowed From John Brougham. When lister Wallack knew that his 4ay had passed as a great actor and theatrical manager, he and the late A. M. Palmer, then coining into promi nence as successful theatrical mana ger. and later the succesor of Lester V\ allack In the management of Wal laces theater, in New York, used to make the trip together betwen the me tropolis and Stamford. Conn., where each had his summer home. It was luring one of these trips that Wallack told Palmer the story of the old coat that made a great histrionic hit "It was In l&aS that Laura Keene produced 'Our American Cousin.' with Joseph Jefferson as Asa Trenchard and Ned Sothern as Lord Dundreary." said Mr. Wallack. “I know that in a general way It has passed Into tradi tion that Sothern at first refused to play the part of Lord Dundreary, be ause be thought the part was beneath aim, and that be only consented to jlay it when Miss Keene told him that ibe was in despair and after she had msented that Sothern should 'gag' be part. But while all this is true ■;p to a certain point. I have no doubt :hat from the moment Sothern reed -he part of Lord Dundreary be saw :be possibilities that were in it for a i*M**te. humorous satire of certain af the nobility of England, and felt ture that this satire would not offiend, jut would amuse the upper classes of Ircat Britain, if ever be were per mitted to play the part as he would ke to play it before English su llen ces. “Well. Sothern made up his mind that it would be necessary to dress j the part with elongated black side whiskers. which were, in the late fif ties and early sixties, the fashionable way. at least in France, of wearing the beard. He also decided that it was essential in the first act. which was a drawing room scene, for him to wear a long-tailed frock coat with very volum inous tails. But it slipped his mind that he should obtain a coat of that sort from the costumer, or have one made, and because of this slip he was in despair at the time of the dress re hearsal of the play. "John Brougham, the playwright, was upon the stage at the time, and he told Sothern that he had in his dressing room a long-tailed coat, very full in its folds, which had been used by me In a play in which I had ap peared some months earlier. 'It’s just the frock for you. Ned.' said Broug ham. " 'Produce It. John.’ returned Soth ern. "A moment later Brougham brought the long-tailed coat to Sotbern’s dress ing room. It didn't fit very well upon the shoulders, but the tails were long enough and expansive enough to suit Sothern perfectly, and be said he would wear It until he could have a cogt made. And so in a coat which I had worn in an earlier play and had lent to John Brougham—an emergency coat. Sothern appeared for the first time upon any stage as Lord Dun dreary, and the coat was a success." “By the way," said Mr. Palmer. “Wallack also told me that Sothern predicted that the play'would greatly amuse the British aristocracy. It did. It ran for an entire season with fash ionable audiences, and the manager made nearly $200,000 out of it in that single season.” •Copyright, 1911. by E. J. Edwards. All Rights Reserved.)

White and Black Pepper Relative Merita of Each Have Been the Cause of Some Rather Warm Disputes. The relative merits of white ana black pepper have caused some rather heated, not to say peppery, disputes. One set of authorities declare that white pepper has lost some of the pungency of the peppercorns that are treated by the process that evolves black pepper, lor both white and black pepper are produced by the same vine. On the other hand, one of the best, though an early authority, says that the white kind as produced under the name of TeUlcherry pepper Is superior in aroma and liavor to the black pep per. being made from the best devel oped and largest berries on the vines, and there can be no dispute as to the white pepper being preferred in those pans of Europe wnere the finest spices nave been in steady use tooa I before they became well known in this country. In comnaring white and black pep per the best grade of each should be selected fcr the test. Pungency may be the principal merit of black pepper, but the best wblte pepper makes Its best appeal through its superior flavor huU aroma Some years ago a spice expert or international reputation expressed the opinion that the consumption of white pepper In this country would increase tenlold If the pepper of the best quality. Since then the standards in the American spice trade have been raised, but superior white pepper is probably not as rreely sold as it might be with proper attention given to qual ity. White pepper is allowed to ripen upon the vlnea and after being plucked the berries are decorticated, or de prived of their outer coat. Black pep per is the product o. the hemes picked before full ripening. HAVE YOU SUSPECTED YOUR KIDNEYS? There are two ways to tell whether you have weak kidneys. The first is through the pains in the back and other outward signs. The second is by examination of the kidney secretions. That is why physicians make such a careful examination when you apply for insurance, and if there is any sign of kid ney trouble you are surely rejected. Kidney disease is so dangerous that it is a bad mistake to overlook or neglect it, and if pain in the back, recurring head aches, or a fretful, nervous, tired condition makes you suspect some kidney trouble, take the trouble to watch the kidnev secre tions. Look for any of the following signs: More or less than three and one half pints passed daily. Too dark or too pale a color. Passages too frequent, profuse, or much reduced, or scalding and painful. Sandy, gritty or cloudy settlings. Fat or oily-looking layer which gathers on the surface when allowed to stand, or a jelly-like thickening. Staining of the linen or bad odor. Temporary changes may occur for a time from things eaten, but if the changed ap pearance continues, vour kidneys are out of order and tieed help. Neglect may prove serious. Doan’s Kidney Pills correct and regu late the kidney secretions, stimulate and heal sick kidneys, and thereby drive away “/here Are Two Ways to Find Out Whether the Kidneys are Sick or Weak "Oh, what a fain!" backache, rheumatic pain, nervousness. <jia riness, bloating and other results of kidney disease.

My back so bad I could hard ly walk. The least jar was or sudden mis step caused sharp twinges through my loins that fairly made me groan. 1 dreaded to stoop for I knew what I had to suffer when I straightened. At times the kidney secretions passed much too freely, while again there was a marked retention. The secretions were almost like blood, offensive in odor and terribly painful in passage. I treated with several physicians and con sulted two specialists in Seattle and one in Tacoma. They all told me I had Bright’s disease and could expect to live only a short time. Finally I began using Doan’s Kidney Pills on a friend’s advice, and to my surprise, I received prompt relief. I continued and was completely cured.

How many people who read this article, realize the weighty influence of one little necessity of life—baking powder—on the •cost of living. Yet it is a leakage that can easily be st inped if the housewife will only pay a : little more attention to the choice of her baking powder. Some think there is ; economy in buying the cheap “Big Can* Baking Powders. These Baking Powders are not always uniform, and sometimes produce failures in the baking, and the result is that more is lost in one or two sp sled bakings than you spend cn bak . ing powder in the whole year. The cheap “Big Can’’ Baking Powders should be • avoided. On the other hand, many housewives feel that a baking powder is of no value j unless they pay 59 ..eats a pound for It— Ihf price charged for the high priced “Trust** brands. This is a mistake, as the best baking powder that can be made can be sold for 25c. per pound if the man ! ufacturer is satisfied with a reasonable profit.
