The Bean Baker of Bostor.
HOW HE MADE JII3 WEALTH, I NT) ONE
WAY IX WHICH HE 5PRXD3 IT.
"A rich hean baker !M Whu would
j imagine that a man potild or0w wealthy
preparing beans for lunch? Yet I
found one the olher dav in my rambles
through old Huston, and the -story of
his industry i.s a nso.-t interesting one.
I was directed to his place bv a siii"u-
i lar incident. I was sitting in a rcstau
! raivt on Milk street. i;e.ir the iost office
wlijch receiv. s and ilistrilutes the mail
for the citiztru of t!ie"Hub.M A wag
on drove up, an elderly man walked ni
with a brown parcel under his arm.
deposited it on the counter, received 2.)
cents from t lie barkeeper, took an emp
ty vossej in his hand am, departed. I
noticed that the man drove a double
team to rather a sweil wagon, but
couldn't divine his place in life.
"Will you have a bean?" asked Col.
Wm; Pitcher, the proprietor and the
haiuVmiest man in Boston. "These
are the finest beans in this town, where
it is said that every m m, woman and
child knows how to hake beans and eat
them with a relish."
I took a small dish of Boston's well
known household economy and agreed
with my host as to their quality.
"But where do you get such hearts
put up and delivered in such style?'1
x"V hy,from my bean baker, of course.
Didn't you notice him just come in and
leave this pot for today's lunch?"
I tick now ledged the' gift of sight and
my curiosity.
"Why, that man is rich," he ran on.
"He has made a fortune b iking beans
and delivering them to restaurants and
eating houses. All of our people bake
their own beans for family use, but no
bar or restaurant is complete without
a pot of baked beans for its noon
lunch. Naturally, they cannot bake
themselves, and this man, taking ad
vantage of this fact and of the bean
eating tendencies of the inhabitants,
went into the business ami has grown
rich. It is a queer industry, and few
people would even imagine that money
could be mai'e out of it. He has the
only factory of importance in Boston
that manufactures baked leans- for
daily delivery."
"Where isrhis place?" I asked.
"Here is his card," said Col. Pitcher,
as he handed mo a piece of pasteboard
with the following printing on it:
L. (j. lykRMELKK,
Bean Baker.
No. IT) Chester Park,
Boston.
Chester Park is a very pleasant part
of the "Hub." It is a wide street in
the West End, lined with handsome
dwellings, and withal the list place
one would expect to find an establish
ment of the character indicated bv the
gentleman's card.
An hour after my lunch otllhe pro
duct of Mr. Parmelee's oven I was
moving toward Chester Park to look
into the mysteries of the singular bus
iness. Twenty minutes ride b o tght
m? to the proper street, and a half a
dozen doors from the corner I found
No. 15. It was a handsuma brick
house, with side yard, flowers and
shrubbery, looking more like the resi
dence of ;i savings bank president or a
well-to-do merchant than the home of
a bean baker. The name was on the
door on a large silver plate, but-no-where
could I see the bakery.
After looking the place over I re
traced my steps to an alleyway and
looking down it discovered a small,
one-story frame bti'lding which bore
oh the end of its gable roof the fol
ins sim.
: " Bean Bakery." :
I sought the door which wa opened
by a horny-handed son of toil, to whom
I explained my errand. He invited me
into the old si ructure, filled with the
evidences of the singular business car
ried on within its walls. The whole
building was not more than thirty feet
long by twenty feet wide. T4ie front
part facing on the alley is used for the
wagorjs and horses, whi e the rear end
is devoted to the process of sorting and
baking the beans. On one side of the
rear apartment is a long oak bench,
over vHiich one smajl window furnish
ed all the light I could dicover in the
place. ()u this bench the beans are
sorted,! then dumped into a great kettle
at the end and boiled carefully for
about an hour. The first process is
carefully watched that the beans may
come to the oven only half done. The
tire is built in a brick vault at the side
rather than underneath the oven, for
the hope of beans cooked in this way
is that .they shall bake very slowly.
The "boiling is the delicate touch, for
they must not get too well done, as the
oven is expected to do the bulk of the
cooking.
As soon as the beans are ready for
the baking they are carefully placed in
small vessels with a bit of pork, a pint
of molasses, and then pushed into the
oven. They are rarely baked in larger
than two-quart pots, as better results
are secured by using the smaller hold
ers. Four hundred of these pots are
prepared for the market in this small
room every day. Although it w.-is a
! very warm day when I looked o: the
process um me piac ine roc:n was not

"We fill the oven at 2 o'clock in the
day and take them out at. 4 in the
morning. We intend to bake them
14 hours,", said he.
"You bake 4C0 rots a dav?" I sug-
gested
"That is our average. Some davs it
is a lew 'more
and some days a few
less.
So I mused 'by way of ascertt i ling
how a man could grow rich at this
singular
business. The yield of the
oven being 400 pots every twenty-four
hours, and Hie price 20 .cents each
there would he. an income of 80 a dav.
half of which would 1m clear profit
Well, there is no telling upon what, a
man may gr-jw a fat pocket book bv
industry and economy, I thought.
"To whom do 3-011' serve them?" I
asked alter a moment of reverie.
"Almost entirely to restaurants ai.d
eating houses. We have no trade to;1
speak of amongprivatefamilies. Thev i
all bake for themselves." " j
"Have you no competition?"
'None topeak or. There is another j m:y P'"'t with it'stKin," continued the
small establishment down town, which ! gentleman, half sorrowfully, as

"Was your business of rapid growth ?"
"No sir. It was very gradual, but
very substantial, and we know what
we are doing every day. Consequent
ly, we never have anv surplus stock on
hand
"Do you have any call foi
your
beans irom out ot town.-'
"Some little; but that feature of our
business has never been worked up, and
is yet to b? developed. O.ir business
now is confined almost entirely to
Boston."
"How m my barrels of beans do you
use in a year?"
"About fifteen hundred, as near as I
can calculate it, and I am quite well
satisfied with tht.t amount of trade, al
though the demands upon im an; in
cre; s ng every day."
I a rase ami was about to depart,
when Mr. Parmelee noticed I had been
looking at the cabinet in the corner of
the room.
"Are you fond of rare coins?" s tid
he.
"Very," I replied, "if I can get my
hands on them."
"I have what expeits sty is the finest
collection of American coins in exist
ence, and would be glad to show theai
to you," he said.
t readily assented, and he took two
curious looking keys from his pock. t,
walked over and unlocked the myste
rious safe. Lo! upon the inside 1 dis
covered a hundred or more little trays
till tilled with rare old coins. Ha took
them out one by one, and here, on soft
velvet cushions like the jewelers use
for their rich gems 1;'.Y copper pennies
and silverand gold coins, most of which
are worth many times their face value.
The owner would tike the most valu
able of these treasures up carefully in
his fingers and explain their history in
the most interesting way. Tray after
tray was taken out and the mysteries
of the vario:i coins explained. What
he told me of their -value and history
would make, a good-sized-" volume, and I
grew so interested that two hours slip
ped by ere I knew that I had been in
side the house thirty minutes. Pick
ing up one curious looking penny in
his hand, he said:
"There are only a half d )Z3ti of these
, in existence, and this one cost me $300,
j and here is another worth morj than
I So he went 0:1 recounting. tin valne
ot his coirjs tui'.il he c :nw to, the tlo!

"There are only four of these iu ex
stenee," said he. "and they are worth
51,200 each. There are numerous
oins in the collection that s re worth,
several hundred doll irs ,each, but it
vould take you a long time to go
r hrongh all 'the trays in this safe."
By this time I was becoming bewil
lered with the singular feature of the
occasion. Here was a man who, while
making a fortune baking beans, had
! ''pent his leisure hours for forty year.-
.luoeiiii -inierican coins. tleUasno
other in his collection, believing that
by devoting himeif to this o e object
he could gather the most valuable ex
hibit in the country.? Being some
what stunned by thls arravof gold, sil

worth.

of the men hurried into the railway
mail ser.'ice before the civil service
rules took effect to improve, according
to the Republican journals, its effi
ciency ami tone. He was one of the
managers for Genera I Alger at Chicago,
and there was some irritation among
the Southern politicians over a story
that got about that he charged the
Alger campaign fund 8500 a head for
delegates and on I' paid the delegates
$300. It was no doubt considered a
legitimate business transaction, hut
carping critics charged that the
commission taken out was too high.
Mr. Estes is now without a job because
he had the temerity to deny that he
ever received from the postmaster gen
eral's friends any of the money that
was charged to him.
But the same accusations come from
the districts of Messrs. Brower and
Ewart. Mr. Settle admits that he re
ceived $3,000 and that seems to bv
properly accounted for, but the other
$2,000 seems to have vanished. Con
gressman K warts denies flatly that
$5,000, or half that sum, was ever re

$1.2 X) was collected by Col. Patterson

In Memory of Miury.
Washington IW.
A correspondent has called our at
tention to two letters that have lieen
published one in the New York Tri
bune, from Julius A. Palmer, Jr., of
Boston: and the other in the New
York Evening Post, from L. M. Black
ford, of Alexandria. .Va.- both sug
gesting the erection, ly the national
government, of a mouument to Lieut.
Matthew Fontaine Maurv. formerly of
the U lifted States Navy." The ground
upon which this action is urged is the
immense value of the services which
the eminent astronomer, meteorologist
and hydro;rauher rendered to "his
country and the entire comercial world.
Leiuteu tut M iiiry was, without
doubt, t lie greatest of American ma
rine scientists. To intimate the vast
importance of his life-work, it is neces
sary to understand that prior to his
time such kuowle lge as navigators had
regarding oee-au curtvnts. the great
wind currents, ,md kindred matters
was incomplete and fragmentary and
the record ot it eoufnsed, crude, and
ill-digested. It was Maury's mission
to change all that; and tle publication
of his "Physical Geography of the
Sea," and bis works on the Gulf Stream,
ocean currents and great circle sailing,
as well as t he completion of his sailing
charts, effected an advance in theoret
ical and practical navigation so great
sis to be ail hut revolutionary. In the
words of Mr. Palmer: u His demon
stration of the use to be niade of the
natural phenomena of the ocean, such
as the trade winds, the calm belts, the
westerly variables, the Gulf Stream,
and other currents was entirely oriiri-
nal and ot inestimable assistance to
the safe and swift navigation of the
ocean.'
Probably no other American scien
tist has received such ample acknowl
edgment of the value of bis discoveries
to the world as did Lieuie.iant
Maury. He received gold medals
from England, France, Austria,
Prussia, Norway and Sweden Bel
gium, Holland and Sardinia, as well
as decorations from Denmark, Portu
gal and the Czar of Russia. From
Pope Pius IX he received a complete
set of all the medals struck during his
pontificate. Membership in over
twenty foreign scientific societies was
conferred upon him, aud, in addition
o other distinctions, the French Em
peror bestowed upon him the Grand
Cross of the Legion of Honor and the
King of Belgium the Decoration of St.
Josept. All of these testimonial
excepting the last two, which were re
turned ire iu possession of his rela
tive, a:id it is suggested that they
should be purchased by Congress and
pi teed in the National Museum.
Wholesale Desertion.
In 'tl e Un t-d S'a'es Army there are
about about .23,000 enlisted men, but I
since 1873 there have been over 40,C00
desertions. in point of numbers the
entire army di serts in about eight
years. This startling fact nutkrs it
self-evident that there is something
radically , wrong with the Vervice.
.s to what it is there is not much room
for doubt.
To illustrate, a Captain f cavalry
recently wrote to a Western paper
advocating the branding of all aimy
men with a hot iron fo as to make less
difficult to arrest the delinquents.
The man advocating this barbarous
practice commands a post. What
kind of treatment would the soldiers
get who are at the mercv of this brute?
And he is a fair specimen of a ,ood nn ny
of the commanding officers. Let any
cr VtA L (llit vun V -fc? t
vations on the graduating class there and
ov-r rnnr un tnlzn tit cor.
tell how many of tlum are fit to-lie in
trusted with the control of enlisted
men. But these young Lieutenants
are put in positions which enable them
tyrannize over the privates.
Drunkenness among army officers ori
frontier posts in a common thing, as
reeortls of the service show. Privates
are apt to have a hard time un ler .aich
men. and it is at hese pos's that de
sertions a re-so common. Privates are
oblidged to Klish shoes, do chores
about officers ho nes, wait on their
families and do all kinds of disgraceful
v.ork. That is where the trouble
arises. -An army board recognized this
fact some years ago and recommended
that privates be paid extra for work
done outside .of their regular duties.
To some extent this recommendation
was carried out, and just to that extent
was desertion lessened.
There is need of further reform in
that direction and also greater need
of reforming the officers. They
should be taught to understand that
they are mortals aud not a privileged
class with whom privates are not
worthy to speak. A 1'. Xetcs.
