Mr.. EpIsoN's latest invention is "the

A MAN named II. Faux, from Scran-

wager was not taken.
As to the Stewards hotel failure, the
independent observes: "RespectsbIe wo-
men do not like to be treated as if they
were not respectable. They do not like
to be put under restrictions which they
would be very glad TO put upon them
selves. 1t is not pleasant for one to be
forbidden to see her father or brother, not
to say lover, except in public psrlor.
Good women feel that they ought to be
trusted as well as men,"
THERE are two ways Of looking at

THERE is nothing doing in tho wool
market, buyers still "besrIDg" the mar
ket. The law which the "Ohio idea" on
finance has forced through Congress, II
signed by the President cannot fail to
do some good to business, although the
threatened resumption next January and
the certain failure and suspension which
