PORK AND BEANS.

GREAT AGGREGATE OF WEALTH SUED.

At last the Armours, the Swifts, the Rockefellers, the Schwabs and other malefactors of great wealth are to get what is coming to them. At least they will get it if the jury agrees with the contention of a lady in St. Louis who alleges that she is the inventor of pork and beans or of some variant of that soul-comforting combination, but that there wretched magnates malic- iously, wickedly and unlawfully coa- spired to shut her out of her market. In fact, as alleged, in order to accom- plish their wicked purpose those shameless persons did not hesitate to organize 8 trust, 543 the San Francisco Chronicle.

In the opinion of this lady it will take not a cent less than $120,000,000 to make her good and she prays for judgment to that amount. And there is one thing to be said in favour of the lady's sound judgment, and that is the wisdom she displayed in picking defendants. If she gets the judgment ahe can collect the money.

The atrocity of the alleged offence seers greater when, as the lady alleges, she was moved to invent her invention by sympathy with the soldiers who during the nineteenth centery, were engaged in the Spanish war and were being fed on embalmed beef. To reheve their sufferings ehe invented this pork and beans com. bination, but the trust prevented her from getting away with the contract. In such a case as that we should say that $120.000.000 was too little to ask for. She should have claimed punitive]
