Dear Sir: You sell a good many
things by the gallon. Being a decent
man, you give full measure.
You know what we mean: you
know that short weigh and short
measure are common among—well,
we hope there are no short measures
and weights in your town.
There are, though. Ribbons and
laces and trimmings, sold by the
“dozen,” measure nine or ter. yards.
There is no complaint, because “they
all do it.” You have the same plague
in your goods—nearly everything,
canned or bottled, cheats in the quan
tity. Almost nobody gives full weight
in a factory-package!
We are one of the almost nohodles.
We sell paint, by the gallon, to paint
your house: and our gallon Is just
the same size as yours that you meas
ure vinegar with—231 cubic inches.
Good paint too—Devoe lead-and-
zinc—takes fewer gallons than mixed
paint and wears twice as long as
lead-and-oil.
You own a house. That’s why we
aro writing to you. Yours truly

How the Confederacy Got Supplies.
Feeling that the following editorial
clipping from the Baltimore Sun will
be <>1 interest to all Ledger readers,
I herewith send it for publication.
Amos Clary.
The Sun is indebted to Mr. J. S.
Rogers, 118 Barristers’ Hall, Boston,
for a copy of a very readable and im
portant contribution to the financial
history of the Confederate States of j
America by Caleb Muse, major and
purchasing agent of the Confederacy
in Europe during the Civil War.
Hitherto there has been very little!
definitely known of the means em- *
ployed to procure abroad arms and
supplies for the Confederate army
and navy. Major Huso’s pamphlet
is accordingly of special value, show-1
mg, as it does, “how supplies were
obtained in Europe and how paid for.”
There are added personal reminis-
oenscs f and bits of unpublished his
tory which contribute to make the
publication exceedingly entertaining
and indispensable to every historical
library. Caleb Huso, a native of Mas
sachusetts and a young graduate of
West Point, was, at the beginning of
the Civil War, detailed as comman-j
dant of cadets at the University of I
Alabama. Res nee in the South
enlisted ids sympathies with that
section, so that when in April, 1861,
Sec. ^Mallory offered him “active ser
vice” in the purchase '’broad of arms
and military supplies he readily ac
cepted a major’s comi’ ssion and af
ter an interview with P ident Davis
left Montgomery for New York. On
the way not a little difficulty was en
countered in avoiding arrest, as feel
ing in the North was at fever heat by
reason of Beauregard’s capture of
Fort Sumter.
In New York, after run dng risks of
hanging from a lamp-post, Mr. Huse
got $500 in gold from Tre iholm Bros,
and proceeded to Canada, whence he
took ship for London via. Portland.
Maine.
In London the agent of the Confed-1
eracy hail no money to pay anything
with. The new nation had as yet no j
income and no credit. Nevertheless I
Major Huse went ahead and contract-j
(‘d for the entire output of tl. ■ London!
Armory Company. It was a tremen-j
dous bluff. Agents of the United
States went about their task of shut-1
ting the Confederacy out of the!
market in the wrong way and got
nothing till much later. At Vienna!
one hundred thousand rifles of the:
latest pattern, ten batteries, of six
pieces each, with harness complete,
and a quantity of ammunition was;
bought, from the Austrian government I
and shipped to Bermuda. Mr. Motley
“got onto” the eontraet and offered
to buy the consignment for the
United States, but was too late. Arms
and supplies were forthcoming from;
every quarter as soon as it was seen!
that the Confederacy, through its
bankers, Fraser, Trenholm & Co., of J
Liverpool, paid its bills promptly. I
being in large funds from the sale of
cotton bought from the planters for;
export.
Just here Major Huse makes his 1
most interesting statement, in show
ing that during the first years of the
war the Confederacy, through its
monopoly of the world’s cotton sup
ply, had an ample income for pur
chases abroad. The Confederate gov
ernment bought directly from the cot
ton planters and exported on its own j
account. “In cotton it possessed a
latent purchasing power,” says Major I
Huso, “such as probably no other gov-i
eminent in history ever had.” It was i
a prime necessity for the manufactur
ing world outside and utterly value-!
less in the Southern States. The
government was almost the only buy
er, others finding it almost impossi
ble to get it to market. “To get cot-
ton through the blockading squadron
called for daring and skill, hut there
seems to have been no lack of either.
For a long time this traffic went on
almost without capture, and the Con
federate government not only depos
ited in places of safety large quanti
ties of a commodity in general de
mand throughout the world, but also
had the satisfaction of seeing its prop
erty advance rapidly in value as the
war went on. Cotton was consigned
to Fraser, Trenholm & Co., and the
consignments for the army, navy and
diplomatic departments were care
fully kept separate.
The Confederacy thus possessed re
sources which, if developed properly,
should have secured it ample credit
for an indefinite period. The difficul
ty of shipping cotton to Ettrope was
more apparent than real, swift vessels
being available to “run the blockade”
maintained by the Federals at South
ern ports. “During the first two
years,” Major Huse reports, “the cap
tures were so infrequent that, it may
l»e safely stated, never before was a
government so well supplied with
arms, munitions, clothing and medi
cines with so little money as was
paid by the Confederacy. The ship
ment from England to the islands in
ordinary tramp steamers; the land
ing and storage there and the running
of the blockade cost money; but all
that was needed came from cotton
practically given to the Confederate
government by its owners.”
An evil turn of affairs began in the
latter stages of the war. when con
tracts wtih tho government began to
appear. “These contracts, made in
Richmond, were a sort of partnership
affair by which the contractor, usu
ally an English company, shared
equally the freighting capacity of
each blr< kade runner. This partner
ship cut down the Confederacy’s in
come and resulted In serious injury
to the Confederacy’s cause. Only a
portion of the army cotton was turned
into army supplies. The contractors,
English and Confederate, got the
rest. There was too much money in
cotton in the latter years of the war
for the management of the Confeder
acy’s export policy to rc*main un
scathed.

Materials for Tailor Suits: Rival Fab
rics: Fall Outdoor Garments.
Materials which were heretofore
supposed to belong exclusively to
men’s attire, have been appropriat
ed by ladies for their first tailor
suits; and certain it is that other
w 001 fabrics shrink into insignifi
cance, beside the demand for “man
nish” effects. Soft mixtures of sombre
shades are still the basis of these
goods, but stripes, invisible plaids or
checks, and broken diagonals appear
in an increased variety. Suits of
this character are usually made
in a severe style. Skirts plain at
the top with plaits lower down, or
without any plaits, and cut all in
one, atnl a short, tight jacket, or lialf-
tighf jacket, double or single breast-!
ed is the ordinary model.
Those Beautiful Fabrics,
broadcloth and velvet, are this sea
son in strong rivalry, with the odds
in favor of broadcloth, by reason of;
its adaptability to varied purposes, j

Skirt, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32, 34 inch waist
and its multiplicity of colors and
shades. Broadcloth will be worn
morning, noon and night, while vel
vet is, so to speak, a full dress affair
of limited extent as to color. Shad
ed effects add to it’s range of color,
especially in millinery. Velveteens
are unusually handsome, many show
ing a soft chiffon finish with a sheen
and lustre which causes them to lie
mistaken for the genuine silk velvet.
The Stylish Out-door Garment
is a long redingote, single or double
breasted: an independent covering
or a suit coat. Home dress-making
is often successful, but the redingote
defies any cut and fit but that of the
expert tailor; being really suitable
only to a tall, graceful woman, as
well as the skill repaired in making,
will probably prevent its general
adoption. Other styles, much less
trying, are a half-tight double breast
ed coat in two lengths, two short
jackets which bear a resemblance to
the Eton or the Norfolk of former
days, but now so touched up by the
artful designer that they may be
classed among novelties.
Street Illustration.
This stylish costume, supplied by
the Modes, Fashion and Pattern Co.,
of this city, is of gray and black
tweed in a broken plaid, elaborately
trimmed with fancy silk braid, and
large wheels of the same. The Eton
is simply adjusted with shoulder and
tinder arm seams. Broad braid fin
ishes the' lower and front edges of
the Eton and also trims the wrist
bands. A fancy braided design is
used for foot trimming, and large
wheels of silk braid are introduced
into the points. Five gores in the
skirt are fitted smoothly around the
waist and hips without darts.
Hats Intended for General Utility wear
present strong contrasts, some are
very fanciful, while others are sever
ity itself. Shapes vary quite as
much as materials and fiat crowns
belong to the round shapes, which
are not a few. The “boat hat” ad
mits of such pretty chenille trim
ming on the brim and fits so comfor-
tably on the pompadour roll, that in
these respects it rivals the turban.
Hats of considerable size turning up
at one side, and the large sailor are
in good demand, also felts with huge
pompons at one side, or those made
of quills throughout. Combinations
of felt braid in two colors, bring
about plaided effects, which are con
sidered very stylish.*
Nothing Equals the Prestige
of the high crowned or directoire nat,
coming in silk velvet, felt, smooth or
long nap beaver; often with a con
trasting crown, as for example a high
shirred silk crown of two shades of
copper on a black felt or a shirred
black velvet crown on a white
beaver. Broad ostrich tips are the
principal trimming apparently held
in place by a large buckle. The low-
crowned hat has not disappeared,
but is relegated to second position.
