The apportionment of delegates places the number entitled to scnt ata figure near ono thousand , BO that the convention will not fall far short of a majority of the prohibitionists in the state. From this convention a great deal of noise nnd voluminous resolutions may bo expected. It is a noticeable fact that the lu.st stuto pro hibition convention Hindu a great deal more fuss than their depleted returns on election day. . The party started out in the early autumn days with the avowed intention of rex'olutlonl/.ing Nebraska , but when the votes wore counted it was found the party laid an absolute loss of votes over the year pre vious. The same old claim of GOOUO , votes in the state will undoubtedly bo made in this convention , but it is safe to. predict a still greater depletion in their vote the present year. U1IATKU DAY.

Om of thorn broke his leg in two places. / hack was called and the wounded mat was taken to his home.

Grace Greenwood : Leaving aside th iloopur question of pei-Minal mornlitj the most serious lacking in the ohanu tor of the Prince of Wales is his Inc of boriousness. Ho is a mnn who , t nil things , loves to be amused , and wh is not overscrupulous as to who or whu amuses him. lit his visits to Paris Ii frequents the palals royal and oper boulTo , and between the acts drops int the loges of the j > rettios > t and gayest t the artistes. This habit is so notorioi tlmt Zola did not hesitate to put hii into the dressing room of his beautifi nnd terrible "Nairn. " In Londoncoini ttctnrs , bingors nnd pcrsoiuitors , all sorl of "funny men , " and bright , orignia witty women are sure of his graeiot patronage. Ho llnds high otragc dy , oven when superbly presentee us at the lyceum , "slow , " and classic ; Gorman music oven the composition of his lamented father a bore ; whil when ho goes to grand opera ho gcnei ully goes to sleep. Ho is royally fond ( good living , the turf and all sorts < sport ; is u great slaughterer of pigeon and once shot A corralod elephant. H lias a quick eye and a passionate ndmii ution for beauty. Ho entertains iminll cently , but his guests , oven when foi eign princes , are generally rospeetab ! people. The clover men and prott women of inferior station , or no statin nt all , whoso acquaintance ho wishes t make , he manages to have invited I the house of some obliging friotn where ho meets them. Ono of the boi things I know of him is hjs hearty tall ing some times as near frloiuLshln as prince is capable of for certain boat tltul countrywomen of ours , whom Ii has felt compelled to respect , will instance Mix * Anderson , Mrs. Peter tor yes , and lovolv Mias Jenny Chan borlain. To none of these has the Hate to ring regard of this middle-age "prince charming" been u real benetl perhaps , but I believe It was nn honest and loyal tribute to beauty and genius. The prince la beyond question kindly nnd generous ; men of his set pronounce him a "capital good follow " but repub lican as I am , It seems to mo that the heir to the proudest and noblest crown in the world should not bo any fellow's "good follow. " If anything could sober the man , oven after a wild youth , it would seem that a time like this wore enough a time when the rising tide of popular disaffection , tha sullen , miry tide of desperate want , Is lapping against the stops of the throne when the political sky of all-Europe is black with threatening nnd lurid with per tents. In his marriage the Prince of Wales has no advantage over his brothers , ex cept in the popularity and beauty 01 his wife. The duchess of Edinburg , though llttlo liked in England , is a woman of strong character , rare intelligence , nnd dignity of demeanor ; tho- duchess of Connnught , an excellent little creature , and no fool , holds her husband's heart in spite of her exceeding plainness , while the princess o' Wales , amiable , graceful and gracious , Is rather nega tive in character. She is prctornatur- Klly young , with no trace of sorrow or trial , or even thought , In her pretty , placid face ; fond of amusement , frankly frivolous , and not too jealous of her dignity. In fact , the charming royal matron yet retains all a girl's love of admiration , dress and adornment. It is little wonder in these critical times that serious English people look forward with some apprehension to the coming to the throne of this pair of perennially youthful pleasure-lover.s. They may love and admire , but they do not wholly trust them. They fear that the court of the futuvo reign will be rather u mercantile than a moral ad vantage to London ; : hat in its science , literature and art of the highest char acter , great public enterprises , and schemes of education and benevolence will Hnd oven loss aid and comfort than in the present melancholy , migratory , and miserly court ; while through its favor will Hourish mightily eostumcrs milliners , and tailors , funny men" and her ey-men , French comediennes and singers , and American champion shots , showmen , swimmers and pugilists. On the second Sunday in December good English churchmen must nave prayed with unusual fervor for the queen long to reign over them , steady and stolid , proper and pious as she is , for the mUehiovous little bird of the telegraph must have-carried to the re motest parts of the kingdom news of the interview between the British heir apparent and n notorious American prize lighter. The account of the cour tesies exchanged between these two powerful personages , in which the Irish- American did not by any moans take a secondary position the report of the conversation , liberally spiced on both sides with the slang of the ring , and preceded and followed by "hearty hand shakes , " must have been tough reading for aristocratic and refined conserva tives. Yet I nm afraid there is not : imong the entire English aristocracy a peer or a prelate too proud to kiss the hand of his royal highness after the grip of Sullivan the slupgor. But the republicans should not be troubled. The less the prince realizes the mighty responsibilities and magnifi cent opportunities of his own position , the more ho cheapens royalty through such unworthy associations , the better for the principles of democracy and equality. Lot him continue to make light of his dignity and his destiny a few years longer , and a great change must como either to him or the entire system of English sovereignty. This is an ago of miracles , the saving chantrc may como in him , nnd he may yet show himself as moral and as mean as "Prince Hal , " who as Henry V. publicly cut poor Jack FalstatT. and , "unklndest cut ol all , " preached to him like a Salvation army oxhortcr. But that Prince ol Wales was still young when he turned over a now leaf in history ; this ono has passed the ago at which hid futlicc ceased from his virtuous labors , so IE little likely to pose for posterity as Albert the Good II. neil , the Telephone Millionaire. Boston Globe : Alexander Graham Boll is a very , rich man , and so are all of his relatives. While he cannot be deprived of his present riches , yet his future income is very much in doubt Should the decision of the United States supreme court bo adverse to Bell the people of the country will gqt chcnpoi telephone service , and the coffers of r great monopoly will bo no longer stuffet full to ovorllowing. Boll is a handsome Canadian , and enjoys the luxury of tin handsomest house in Washington , foi which he paid $110,000. Ho is a wcl built man , with black hair , and heart just beginning to turn grey , nnd has i young looking faco. The inter lor of his house is superb. Watei colors , rare paintings , and sofi etching surround you on cvorj sido. The furniture of the house is 11 marvel of taste and richness. The library which adjoins the main entrance is n model room of its kind , and con tains thousands of rare literary produc- tions. The binding of the books is ol the highest perfection , and you almost fear to touch the covers. Many of the chairs are of carved candle-wood. Mrs Bell Is a deaf mute , although she can converse with her husband readily win understands every movement of hoi lips. 'She was rich before she married the telephone magnate but has largolj increased income from his princely gifts to her of largo blocks of telephone stoek. Just across thu street is u little cottage where ho teaches deaf children Ho has given great attention to thii subject , and has made many wondorfu discoveries in the sign language , whicl ho is endeavoring to supplant by i labial sound language of his own.

" A Itttto room In a little hotel , In n llttlo country town , On it little bed with musty smell A man was lying down. A ereat big man with a great big snore For ho lay on his back , you see And a peaceful look on Ills face he wore , For sound asleep was he. 'n his dreams what marvelous trips he made , What heaps of stuff he sold ! And nobody fulled , and every one paid , And his orders were good as gold. ; Ic smiled and smothered a scornful laugh , When his follow drummers blowcd ; For ho knew uo other luff sold the half Of what his order-book sho'.ved. Ho got UU letter from home one day ; "Dear Sir we've no Jitter term To use In your case than simply to say : Henceforth you are ono of the firm. " And a glorious change this made in his life , Ho now from the road withdrew ; And really soon got to know his wife , His son , and his daughters too. But with a thump bang whang thump- bang again , The "boots" hud knocked at the door ; "It's very near time for the 0:10 : train. " And the "Drummer's Dream" was o'er. ItcBulutions.

"I have a great undo who is as shrewd and hard headed as only an old Scotchman know. how to bo , " said an Omaha drummer to c Bnp representative ; "just the sort of an olc fellow whoso mental machine doesn't gc well unless It Is mounted on some kind of t hobby. Phrenology used to bo the great thing with him four or flvo years ago. 1 never was at his hpuso of an evening that tu wasn't burled in a periodical , the cover ol which was embellished with the sldo clcva tlon of a head printed full ot little pictures The old gentleman thought ho was on the way to getting the whole universal scheuii of things by the foretop , .and if your bump : didn't si/o up right , you might as well ae knowledge your name Dennis and done wilt it. His family consisted of himself , his wife and an only daughter. Ho was the leading merchant of the llttlo Illinois town where hi lived , and the family , as is not unusual ii such cases , cherished a rather overpowerini idea of their own respectability. I wai traveling for u Chicago house then , and whci I went in , which was two or three times i year , I made it a point to stay over a fev days with them. About this time this was four years ago or so , you know the daughter was a might ; pretty g'rl of seventeen , and with a bit o romance in her disposition. Well , ono uven ing she and I wcro strolling alone the OIK street of'their village ; some errand or othci called us into a drug store , and as wo entcrct the door I discovered the finest specimen o physical manhood that I over had the pleasure uro of looking at. Ho was a man prouabl ; six feet-two , broaU shouldered and dec | chested. Ho was lounging ugains the counter and his hat wa < pushed back on his head. Hi : forehead was broad , but not high ; his cye < magnificent ; his nose and cars nil that couhl bo demanded. The lower part of his foci was concealed by u silky , flowing browi beard which fell down upon his chest. 1 regular washer the licard ulono would imvi done the business for half the t-irls. Then was Just n suggestion of Insolence In his at titude and in the calm look ho cast at us ; but the instant ho saw my cousin hosti-aightcnei tip , half hesitatingly raised his hand , ant then , as his eye mot hers , lifted his hat and bowed. There suumcd an InsUmt of uncer talnty on her part , then she colored ilceplj and slightly inclined her head. . Noltnei spoke as she stood close beside him while sh < iniiclo her purchase , and when wo loft th < store , although she strove to appear a1 though nothing had occurred , I could easilj see the change In her "humor. Of course , : saw from her manner In recognizing hin that thnro was something extraordinary ii her relation whatever it was to the man but it was no business of mine and I snli nothing. I carried the unpleasant conscious ness of it with mo to the city , however , am perhaps it may liavu had something to di with my arranging to pay M a visit in i couple of weeks on my way out , 1 got In In the niuht. As I approached tin house I saw that , there was a light in the par lor , and when I got insldo f found that , nlatif. with the light , uiy brown bearded fellow wai also in the parlor. I was duly presented ti him. Ills narno was Doctor Powell , and i fmv momenta observation satisfied ma tha Doctor l owell had come to stay. My aiint Informed mo haw it had coini about as nearly as the good lady undcrstooi it herself , whlclj , to say the truth , seemed t ( bo none too clearly. It appeared that the ac quamtance begun with ono of these peculiai chances of travel which always seem so uu accountable to throw a fellow it the same seat with u pretty girl Of course the doctor had been too nice fo anything and his seductive beard hnd rippiei and shone In the most becoming lights. Thi next meeting had been in the drug store , am by that declension , to the parlor had boon ui easy way for him. My aunt was troublci and uneasy. They really Knew nothing abou him except that ho appeared genteel ; but hi bumps wore most satisfactory to my uncle and that settled it with him. No man witl such bumps could bo anything but most exemplary emplary that was my uncle's dictum , am the beauteous doctor Haunted his beard am bumps nightly In the parlor , midnight en wo v tire-glossy threads of the former about Eva' susceptible heart. I gathered from his coplou conversation that he had retired from actlv practice and was now a gentleman of ease an wealth , with interests in the west which re fiuired an occasional visit. . Ho WHS In M with u view to largo investments , my uncl said. To tclljtho truth , I didn't Ilka the fcl- ow. Ho talkctf'loo fluently about his own remarkable aihldvoments and exploits to suit no but. maybe jl had an Idea that he wasn't at all the sort .tot m n for Eva , and I nay have cherished another Idea that I could ay my handj upon a great deal better wan for her any hour of the day or night. I went nwily that tlrao with an uneasy ache under my coat lajijicl , and with a Vague , but much cherlsfTeil notion that I would somehow or other she * Up the doctor , bump , beard and all. I began'my trip and ten days after 1 loft M as 1 was tiding through the streets of an Iowa city on my way to the train , I behold a spectacle that came near making Die forget .hat such a tiling as a train existed. I have a particular frtctii } In this Iowa city n married lady whom I hnvo known ever since I was kneo-hlgh , and whom I think n great deal of. Well , just as the 'buss swung past her residence I glanced up and saw on her porch , hat In band and paying her his adieus , my doctor. Now Mrs. V Is n tremendous authority on respectability , and the fact that she had received n visit from Dr. Powell should have settled all doubt of his social standing at once , I told tnysclf. It was really no business of mine anyway , I said , and I wouldn't meddle. If the girl was sat isfied , and her folks were satisfied , and I know nothing against the man , why should t | ) lay the detective gratuitously ! Still I wouldn't content myself to let It rest at that. I stood it two days and then wrote Mrs. V a note fpollng like some now sort of a sneak , as I did It asking her what she know concerning Dr. Powell. 1 haunted the post- ofllco three days and was finally rewarded , and with poetic Justice I told myself gloom ily , by receiving from her a note which read , simply : 'Hove no fear of Dr. Powell. Ho Is all ho claims to bo,1 with the nil underscored In trim feminine fashion. There was nothing for It after that but to pull my hat down over my brows and culti vate n manner of dark and forbidding mis anthropy an undertaking , by the way , in which I was so-successful that nil of the boys cut my acquaintance inside of a week. I conceived it to bo. my duty to inform my aunt of what I had learned , and 1 did so wishing Eva eternal happiness in a lachry mose postscript , along with other idiocies which I have forgotten. This business went on for four weeks , in which I reconciled myself to my bitter lot , and did many other fool things. Then I was surprised tit receiving n second note ad dressed in the well-known handwriting of Mrs. V 1 toro It open and read : " 'I fear 1 was over hasty in HO fully recom mending Dr. Powell. You see I had suffered untold agonies with my feet , and when his operation afforded me such relief as it surely did yon will forgive mo if I was too enthusiastic : I am tortured now , however , by a terrible suspicion that the doctor Is a good deal of n fraud , and that I may yet have to endure yours uf that detestable pain , the harder to bear because one cannot attach any spark of heroism to it. In short , I am afraid that my corn Is coming back to tor ment me. 1 hope my retraction will come in time to save you from the reversal of hopes I nm now suffering. ' "I don't know whether I oven whooped when I read it. I do know that I sent it bv the Ili-st nniil to M and that I followed it at , the end of my trip. The gallant com doc tor had decamped when 1 arrived. The amount of I. O. U.s bearing the correctly bumped doctor's signature which my uncle burned is yet a matUT between himself and ills conscience , and it will be a very nervy nuin that tries to find It out. I have had it in my mind several times to ask him how ho was getting on .With phrenology , but when I look tit his black eye-browed , tlorid , square old face , my couratre forsakes me. And , by tne way , you mustn't print this , because some time ago. as a basis of future domestic peace , I projnised my wife never to mention her handoomp chirb'podlst again.

New YortfGraphlc : About this time of the ycnr.tho commercial traveler brushes up his gripsack , pucks lils sample trunks and ti'kcs to the road for a sixty-days' tour in search of orders. Some of them went a week or so be fore , but as a general thin ; ; the ceremony of stock taking1 , .bookbalancing and clearing up last year's bpslncss occupy not only the homo concern , but absorb the provincial merchant's time , so that ho is , not ready to stock up for the spring tradu before the last weeks of Jan uary. By Monday next the tardiest of them will beam upon the nearest of his customers , and the genial missionaries of trade will be spinning their yarns and hunting for fresh adventure in every town from Canada to the Rio Grande. "Is the commercial traveler's life that de licious round of pleasure that it is sometimes pictured I" was asked of a genial bagman who has traveled In the hardware line for the lost twenty years. "It Is n big mistake to suppose that it Is n lifo of well paid idleness , " ho replied. "Ol course it is peppered hero and there with novel experiences and sensations , but there is the other side of the case , anxiety , priwv tions of homo comforts and life , and occa sional disappointments thnt'leavcs ' a big bal ance often on the wrong side. The lifo ol the druiumor is a mighty poor one for the happily married man. The tour general ! . ; lasts two months. If ho enjoys the comfort of his own fireside or the companionship ol his own family during that period it has to be done at the expense of his own time and salary , for unless ho is a man of exceptional gifts and success as u salesman the expense account Is very closely scrutinized by the homo office. The wise thing for him to do is to placn his family at , ROino central point ol his route , so that ho can bo traveling toward ! them most of his Journey , and a few Sunday : can bo spent with them without prejudice tc his own or his employer's material interests. "Every traveler has what ho calls 'hi trade,1 but it very often happens that ho fails to land the order that ho had fully counted on obtaining. Ho reaches the town , engages his BumnK ) room at the best hotel and starts out for the hi ore of the man ho wants to sell to. Ho sold him a good order last fall , and counts on repeating the transaction. The merchant is too busy for anything but s friendly handshake , : md doesn't think ho can spare time to look at the samples. In fact , he only yesterday gave n largo order to the rep resentative of the rival house. This is dis appointing , but no good salesman would take 'no' for an answer at this stage. Ho chats as Interestingly as ho knows how on general matters , gets in a now joke or two , and gradually smoothes Mr. Surl.v's fur In the right direction. Ho Is pur.simdod to go to the hotel and look over the samples , and it is u poor bagman who would fail to book uu order tlipn. "Thero arc traditions in the trade of liberal expenses , tint only for traveling , but for in fluencing trade , butunfortunately Jor tis they are traditions now. The champagne suppers , carriage rides and theater tickets that a drummer buys now como out of lira own salary and commissions , if they materialize at all. The expanse account , of the average salesman is limited to actual expenses , such as railway and stage fare , hotel bills andbag- gage charges. Ho must keep an ItomUed ac count , which Js'uudltcd by thu Lome ofllco in strictly as the. ordnance account of a captain of infantry. Some houses make uu addi tional allowance ot $ . * > a day for social ex penses , drinks , cigars , etc.but they are very few , and chletiy ill -.vholcsulo lifjuor and cigar cancers ; Tlioy must of necessity be liberal , and the men who travel for them sel dom last loiifl. The lifo is altogether too con vivial. In most qt the mercantile lines com petition has onfovccd so close n margin that traveling oxircnsiis must bo restricted to the barest necessities. "Tho routes an > generally mapped out bj the homo authorities , who know to the minute the time needed to do it. This leaves no time for loafing. The business hours arc spent In visiting1 customers and showing samples , and the evening In correspondence and in forwarding orders , that is , unless n night train has to bo taken to the next town. Now and again there are leisure half hours which may bo devoted to seeing the town Oi hunting for now experiences. As a class the busmen are a Jolly lot , and devote themselves to fun-itettlng as energetically us they hunt for business. A fresh Joke is R precious pos session , but It becomes a chestnut very noon , Ono of them goes the rounds almost as fast as the Joke of the endman in a minstrel show , Still , the lifo has a sort of fascination about it , and some men stick to it all their lives am would not bo of much use in any other wall of life. I know one man who has been on tht road for forty years. Wo will hear of liU death In some out-of-the-way town ono ol these days.

Bonliam , Texan , Dispatch the Glob Democrat - crat : A drummer has Just come to grief in this city la a way that will cause unlimited fun for weeks to como. Last Saturday there arrived in town a young Hebrew drum mer who represented a Jewelry house la Philadelphia. This was the young man's first visit to Texas , and ho thought it was a a way-back country where style was not wont to dwell. He dressed hlmsolf in the latest Broadway agony , and proceeded to prome nade the town , eyeing every girl ho met. Ills actions wore noticed by several young , men of the town , who determined to take some ot the _ conceit out of the drummer. TJiey accordingly formed a bond of eight or ten and agreed upon a plan of action. Two of the number made friendly advances to him and proposed to show him the town by night. To all of their plans the young man readily agreed , and about 10 o'clock nt night the trio started out In Hie west part of the down to an alleged beer garden. When about half a mile from the square , In n dark , muddy and thinly settled portion of the city , the drummer and his escort wore suddenly confronted by live or six heavily armed and desiwrato looking individuals , who called to the trio to halt. The dude's escort , accord ing to n preconcerted arrangement , made a break to ryn , and the driitnmor , who was almost frightened out of his wits , thinking it n regular Texas hold-up , of course ran also. Immediately thu armed mnn commenced a regular fusillade , about twenty shots being fired after tho'fleeing party. One of the guides fell and cried tlmt he was seriously wounded. This added terror to the thor oughly frightened youth , who had gained the middle of the street , and regardless of mud and gocd clothes was running for dear Ufa. Police Officer Weathorsby , who had started to learn the cause of so much shooting , met the Heeling figure of the "inashor , " and throwimr the pistol down Into his face told him to stop. The officer assured him that no harm was intended , and allowed him to come on to town , where ho hud a remark able story to toll of his escape from the band of desperadoes. Presently the .boys who hnd acted as escort straggled in , one of thorn limping from nn alleged bullet wound. The drummer was informed that his lifo was In danger : that his actions had incensed many of the clti/.cns , who would surely kill him if he did not soon make his escape from this town. Ho was advised to disgulso himself and leave as soon us possible. This sugges tion ho agreed to net upon the next day , and went to his room at the Crockett House , locking himself in , and spent a sleepless night , Yesterday morning ho sent for a bar ber , who went to his room and cut off his long-cherished mustache. Ho then sent fern n slouch hat , old coat and duckmg overalls. When ho had put on this disguise , and was about to start to the depot , another drummer put him on to the joko. By this time , however , everybody in town had learned of the affair , and great crowds of people gathered around the depot to see tilt ! tenderfoot of the east. So annoying did the Jeering crowd become to the manner that he begged the depot officials to lock him in the freight room until the train arrived. This was done , and the verdant youth from Phila delphia says if ho over sees Bonlium again it will bo through a telescope. Nothing has caused KO much interest and fun In this place for years. years.Omaha's Omaha's Sttiulay Guests.

Samples. James W , Lusk , ono of the host known traveling salesmen In this section of the country , and for many years a representa tive of the Consolidated Tank Line company , Is now representing the Vacuum Oil com pany , of Rochester , N. Y. , and tending to the mountain train , with headquarters in Salt Lake City. Through the kindness that Miss Radic Friend has shown the commercial men while stopping at her neat llttlo hotel ( the Kagla house ) they have thrown In toecthor and bought her an t 0 present , and Miss Radio , being very much surprised and pleased , ac cepted the present with many thanks. Dnrono33 Bui-dott-Coutts is about to establish workshopsequipped with sow ing machines , where jxxir sui can go and use thuin ut n low The Rabbet Industry. Manufacturer's Mqnthly : There nro about 20,000,000 pounds of rubber Im ported yearly to the United Stutos. About one-half of this conies from thu Para , Brazil. Many other tropical countries produce rubber , but not suuh stock us the Para stoek. Next in qual ity conies the African rubber , wnich ranks ntnone the poorest sorts , and is used for boltlnes and articles where , united with duck by hydraulic pressure the rttbbor receives no stran. The best quality of rubber , the Para , is the sort of which overshoes are made or otipht to bo. But there are about 70,000,000 pair * to be made a year out of the lim ited stock of Para material , and it takes at least one-half a pound of rub ber itself for a pair ot men's overshoes , and a.s 70,000,000 will not go into IUV- 000,000 , there are few overshoes made 6f complete rubbnr of the best quality. The prlcoof rubber is about 70 cents per pound ; this means rubber of the Para quality. The material in clear rubber of the best grade for a pair of ordinary overshoes cannot cost more than 50 cents at the most. The further expense nec essary to the production of thu shoos are for cloth lining too small per pair to need noting almost ; and all the remain- ilor is for thu manufacturing process. The average price per pair is CO cents over the United States , but the prices of the different shoes run ire from $1.75 to 1 ! ) cents per pair. Especially in New- York this variety has existed at the same season , and the $1.75 sort wore very little bettor , if at nil. than the 10- cent grade. The deterioration in the quality of rubber garments and over shoes everywhere has been for several years a matter of general public note. . The competition of dealers is the cause , the crude rubber itself being as good now as it ever was , and the gen eral competition and variety of prices. It is impossible to know where goulno rubbers are to bo had , and nobody can tell what proportion , If any , of good- srrado rubber is contained in a newly finished pair of overshoes ; the exporter or the dealers thentbolvos cannot toll by an inspection of the article when it is new. The difference between two pair of rubbers that have seen service , one made of rubber at first hand mid the other made of rubber composition , is very distinct. It happens this time , however , that no overshoes made for sale are wholly of the crude' imported rubber at llr.t hand and of the llrst quality. The second grndo of Pnrii rubber is a very inferior one , and where the overshoes are at their best at the present day , they are still to a great extent made of the bccona and inferior grades. Manu factures pretend at times to make an article for sale of the lirst quality , but competent , non-manufacturing authori ties dealing in rubber say that not. a pair of rubbers in the market is made of genuine Hrst-cUihS rubber , and that at the present prices of overshoes , such quality cannot bo manufactured. Some rubber llrms doing a largo business use only one case of rubber per month. A Jewish rubber com pany in Jersey City beats this by supplying the public with im mense stock of overshoes without re ceiving any native rubber at all. The resources of their trade are the gather ing upof _ refuse rubber , on the principle by which some cigarettes arc made ; and and rubber shoes the cast-off worn-out of ono season's wear turn out now , shin ing and advertised as of superlative quality in a following season. No other material to adulterate rubber with has over been found except rubber itself. But the old and broken stuff , and the crumbling and inferior now material are sulllciontly poor to bo very marked in their dilTorence from the llrst-class Para stock. The _ secrets of the rubber trade and the proportion of rubber which enters into every manufacturer's products , are not known to auy ono outside of the trade , or , perhaps , outside of the manu facturer's establishment.
