long threatened oyster syndicate which
capitalists have been endeavoring to
form for several months has come into
existence at last.
The hew company is to be known as
the Consolidated Oyster Company, with

EXPERT SHIRT IRONING.
Lanndrlea That Make a Specialty at
NeVr Shlrta.
Anions the great number of laundries
in the city there are about a dozen devot
ed to the laundering of new shirts. It is
harder work to iron a new shirt than It is
to iron imc that has been worn, and it
takes more time. The new cloth is stiff
cr. and it doesn't take starch so well as it
does after two or three washings, when
the shirt works easier in all the stages of
its laundering. Hut tlioiiKh the shirt Is
hardest to iron the first time it must then
be ironed its very best. The new shirt
as it is laid down upon the counter for
inspection or if custom made as.it is de
livered must he simply perfect, and it is.
It costs more to have a new shirt laun
dered than one that has been worn. Iron
ers get more pay for ironing them, and.
though it lanes more time, they earn
more money at it than in ironing old ones.
Both men and women are employed
new shirt iroiiiui;. the women very likely
on the finest custom shirts.
The ironing of new shirts calls for the
most expert of laundry work. The collar
and cuffs are brought out exactly in ac
conlMnci' with the design. The two parts
of the shirt front are made to match per
fectly, with ihe stud holes or the eyelets
in one part exactly over those iu the oth
er. In pique shirt bosom; the lines of
the pattern if vertical will be found to be
drawn absolutely straight, and if the
lines run crosswise not only will they be
found to he straight, but to meet true at
the middle. The same may he said of
line, colored shirts with patterns showing
vortical ur horizontal lines. If vertical
lines, the.v are perfectly true: if horizon
lal. ilirv arc not only perfectly true, hut
lierlictlv matched at the center, and the
entile liosiiiu. though ironed on a flat
hoard, is ironed into a slightly concave,
shit Idlil.e form that is graceful in shape
am! a model for uniformity. The per
fectly laundered new shirt is something
that must command the admiration of
everybody that likes good work, and the
ironing of it is the top notch of laundry
work.
Resides the half dozen of laundries tn
the city that make a specialty of new
shirts there are some laundries that
Kuiake a specialty of collars and cuffs, and
there are some laundries that make
specialty of hotel and steamship work
With (he help of the modern machinery
now so extensively employed in laundries
work is done in a very short tune. Any
of the big laundries devoted to such work
would, if it were "required, take a steam
ship's entire wash at night and return it
in perfect order in the looming. New

Not. 13 Sam Patch lost his life
In Jumping frwu .i scaffold 'i3 ftet
above the ln:uk of the Ceueaee fall
Into the at yss In-low He undertook
to Jump iu all a distance of 120 feet
(if course the whole iKipulatiou of
KocbesHT as well as tbe farmer from
neighboring Villages were upon the
scene. 'ihe f;.iue of 1'ittch bad for
several wecLs Ik-cc a topic of couver

Patch was horn In Rhode Island lu

was scizi d vviili the Ju'upiug man.j
After giving Kivoral daring exhibitions
in New .lor-, y he decided lo try bis
luck at Niagara falls two veurs later.

shelving rock between Coat Island nud I
the gurgl.ug waters many feet below. I
A few davs later be startled the na
tives by Jumping from the old Kitz-

under the water too cotivcnlont hiding

in watching several boats crowded
with people dragging for his body.

merrily to tbein. Joking them for their I

prink or the rails to tne rapuis neiovv
If I'iltcli had not reassured the boy. be
would have had half of the population
of Rochester dragging the water for
his dead body.
With such n record It Is no wonder
that on tbe morning of Nov. 13 all the
muddy roads lending to Rochester
were thronged with people desirous of
seeing the wonderful Jumper. Even If
farmers were unusually busy iu secur
ing tbe Inst of their harvests they
found time to take a day or two off lu
order to witness tbe feats of Sam
Patch. Several boats brought hundreds
of visitors In holiday attire from Can
ada, Oswego nud I.evvlston It n Ta lo.
('annndalgna and Itatnvia were almost
depopulated on account of the exodus
to Itoclics'.cr The few la veins l:i the
city turmd guests away, and many
had to e:',:::;i out o' citilght.
Not w :i ml lug Hie ra w.cold wen: Ii
er throngs of settlors lined the l'.".r.l:s
below tbe falls. Although Sam said lie
did not feel tbe cold weather, he was
pleased to fortify himself with n drink
of bnindv tendered lo him by bis
friend, William Cochrane. Several of
the spcelalors contributed a I'.'.iiqtie
uniform Dicsscd In white trousers
decorated with a blue!; silk hainlko
chief tied af.c.iuil his body, surmount -d
by a light woolen jacket and skullcap.
Sain must have presented n grotesque
appearance.
After taking another drink from the
flask Sam made the following speech
to the I liotisiinds of breathless specta
tors: "Napoleon was n great man and
n great general. He conquered nnnles.
and lie con piered nations. Hut be
couldn't jump the Cenesee falls. Wel
lington was a great man and a groat
soldier. He conquered armies, and be
conquered nations, and he conquered
Napoleon, but be couldn't Jump the
(leiieseo falls That was left for me to
do, and I can do It and will."
Although Sam I'ntcli could Jump the
Genesee falls when be was sober, be
could not do It w hen he felt the effects
of the bnindv. Owing to this fact be
met Ids death when be took the Jump
When the thousands of silent nnd bor
ror stricken spectators saw Sam strike
the water, they did not see him coine
to the surface. His descent was so tin
like bis previous efforts, wbeu be shot
like an arrow from a bow. that the
spectators were certain that he met bis
doom wbeu be reached tbe water and
the Jagged, piercing rocks beneath.
The spectators searched In valu for
the Juniper. The torches of the search
era along the river bank and those of
the Kuarcliers who dragged tbe river In
boats lit up the river during the long
night hours. Amid the ronr of tbe
cntninct the sorrowing multitude abed
tears for the Jolly good fellow who,
like many otliers, loved bis bo'tle on
occasions.
Notwithstanding the rumors that
Sam Patch had been seen alive In
Rochester nothing wna beard of blm
until St. Patrick's day. when his body
was found lu n cake of Ice near tbe
mouth of the Genesee. Ills remains
were burled In the cemetery at Char
lotte. Although It had been the nmbl
tlon of his life to jump Ixindcn bridge,
he met bis death In the Genesee. The
feats of Sam Patch filled the newspa
pers for weeks, and although such
poets ns Mrs. Slgourney wrote poems
dedicated to his memory no monument
has been erected In commemoration of
his feata.
Indeed, the event produced a pro
found Impression upon tbe people of
those days. On tbe following Sunday
the preachers In Rochester and neigh
boring (owns could not say enough
ngnlnst the evils of jumping. Some
even went as far as Joslnh Blasell, who
told tbe pupils of the Third church
Sunday school that becsuse they saw
tbe fotnl leap they were acceaaorle to
his death nnd were murderer In the
sight of God -Rochester Herald.
