F. Loree, President of the Delaware and Hudson Railroad, and John G, Johnson, Philadelphia lawyer, arrived from Genoa and was saluted from Ambrose Channel to her pier by every eraft that sighted her through the haze. The Antilles is the only merchant vessel flying the American fing that has been in the harbor of Genoa for ten years, She was chartered in this port by representatives of Mr. Loree and Mr. Johnaon and sailed for Genoa a month ago. Pending her arrival Mr, Loree and Mr. Johnson rounded up 242 American refugees in Switzer- lanc and Italy, who were willing to pay first class prices for first class accommmodations. ‘ost were friends or relatives of railroad executives or members of Philadelphia familiés known to Mr. Johnson. The minimum Passage rate was $300 and the maxi- mum $500. The passengers of the Antilles were the happiest and most contented lot that have returned from Europe since the war began. They had perfect weather. There were concerts and dances every night, c Among those who furnished music were such stars as Josef Hoffman and Rudolph Ganz, the pianists; Frederick Jacobi, assistant director of the Met- Tropolitan Opera House, and. Louls Koemmenich, conductor of the New Yori: Oratorio Society and the Men- delsahn Glee Club. E. B. Thomas, President of the Le- high Valley Railroad; John G. O'Keefe, Wall atreet banker, and Will- iam Mahl, financier, were among the millionaire passengers, Mr. O'Keefe and Mr. Mahl confessed that they spent a couple of anxious weeks in Switzerland. Their fortunes Bre largely in securities, For nearly fifteen days they were absolutely out ‘of touch with the outside world and did not know whether they were pau- pers or wealthy men, , Two stowaways were discovered on the seventh day out from Genoa. They are Carlo Vustalgia and Alfredo Zep- pa, New York waiters, who were in Italy on a visit and aked aboard the Antilles at Genoa. As they had money and naturalization papers they, will be allowed to land. Capt. H. T. Boyd of the Antilles made himself so popular the passen- gera bought him a piano.

Advance reports of the bankers’ re- organization plan for the broken dry goods store chain run by John Clafiin show a serious financial condition. The assets of the twenty-three stores now in receivers’ hands do not amount to more than 50 per cent. of the $31,500,000 of notes issued by Mr. Claflin in their names, It was the in- dorsement of the parent company on theae notes that made hundreds of banks eager to buy them, and now there is @ clamor among these same banks to get rid of them. Under the reorganization plan pre- pared by the committee of note-hold- ing bankers, it was proposed to pay 15 per cent. cash on Feb, 1, and give three-year 6 per cent. notes for the balance, secured by deposit of stock of the new Mercantile Stores Com- pany, to be organized to operate the retail business, Most of the big city banks agreed to the plan, but small counrty institu- tions are more in need of real money than of new notes substituted for old, They want to get rid of Clafiin paper, even at a discount, A balance sheet prepared by ac- countants shows the liabilities of the twenty-three stores, aside from the Clafiin notes, amount to only $3,- 000,000, while their scaled down as- sets are more than $16,000,000, If %t were not for the burden of notes is- sued against them by the home office in New York, amounting to $31,500,000, nearly all, the stores would be in sound condition, Attorneys for the bankers’ commit- tee say that on Saturday they will | issue a-full prospectus and invite all creditors to give assent to the plan of reorganization. In court to-day, Receivers Martin- dale and Juilliard reported the O'Nelll-Adams Co. has been doing an unprofitable business for seven years. Liabilities are $12,207,000.

He must know that it is honest, efficient, pure and wholesome. In cases of nervousness, heart flutter, headache, biliousness, indigestion, etc., where the patient is a coffee drinker, most doctors order: ‘Quit coffee and use Postum.” . Doctors recommend Postum because they know that it is a pure food-drink—absolutely free from the drug, caffeine, which makes coffee injur- ious to most users. It is significant that thousands of physicians ° not only recomniend, but themselves use POSTUM | —its worth having been fully demonstrated, not ‘only in the home, but in Sanitar- iums, Hospitals and Colleges. Posgim now comes in two forms: Regular Postum—must be well boiled—15c and 25c packages. Instant Postum—soluble—no boiling—made in the cup with hot water, instantly. 30c and 50c tins. Both kinds are delicious—cost per cup about the same—sold by Grocers everywhere. “There’s a Reason” for Postum MICHAELS BROS \\Y-
