The management of $he Corn Producing Refining com pany has announced that the distrib ution under the company's profit sharing plan for the first year end ing February 28, 1910, will be at the rate of five cents a hundred pounds. The distribution for the year 1906, when the profit-sharing plan was ad opted, was at the rate of ten cents a hundred pounds, and for the two succeeding years It was fifteen cents a hundred pounds. It has been reported that the com pany will abandon the plan after this year, but according to the manage ment, no decision has yet been reach ed in the matter. For the three years up to February 27, 1910, that the profit-sharing plan has been in opera tion, the Corn Products Refining company and Its subsidiaries have re served $1,780,000 to be distributed among their customers who have bought from them exclusively.

With two months of Mayor Gaynors administration com pleted political stocktaking at Tam many Hall Is not a pleasant business for the followers of that historic or ganization. There has been a saving at the rate of $2,000,000 a year effect ed by Mayor Gaynor since January 1 In the discharge of men and the re organization of departments. The mayor apparently finds that this sort of exercise agrees with him, for he ended his second month by ordering a reorganization of the force employ ed on the municipal ferries and di recting that an entirely new system fee arranged for paying lawyers retain ed In land condemnation proceedings. These two moves, it Is estimated, mean the cutting off of $750,000 of Tam many patronage. Mayor Gaynor has three years and 10 months more to serve. Already what has been regarded as the most perfect .political machine In the coun try Is face to face with a situation that It has not, known before. No Tammany man cares to predict what the conditions of the organization will be at the expiration of the Gaynor ad ministration. Payroll savings made by the mayor during the last two months include the following: , Highway department, $100,000; fire department, $100,000; Bronx Park de partment $110,000; bureau reorgan ization in Bronx, $130,000; water de partment, $185,000; aqueduct board, $300,000; dismissals by borough offi cials, $300,000; land condemnation de partment, $400,000; municipal ferry reorganization, $30,000; dismissals in various small offices, $750,000; total, $2,000,000.

Bachelors' Club President Must Pay $1000 Fine for Falling In Love. Philadelphia, Pa. There may be young men who scoff at the idea that It is expensive to fall in love, but Harry Marrits, a wealthy merchant of 1300 S. Fiftieth street, this city, Isn't one of them. It will cost him $1000 over and above the expenses usually incidental to courtship, because he succumbed to the charms of a beau tlful New York girl, Miss Estelle Crane. Mr. Marrits, until he made an an nouncement to the members that gave them the shock of their club life, was president of the Blenheim Bachelors club. The Blenhelmers organized to exalt celibacy. Mr. Marrits was the most earnest of them all In serving warning on Cupid that "he needn't come around." He suggested tha a penalty of $1000 be attached to the defection of any member of the club ranks. The sug gestion was adopted. Attention, Knights.
