BOOTS AND SHOES.

EASTERN exchanges report the boot and
shoe trade in most satisfactory condition.
Boston aud New York jobbers having en-
joyed good healthy demand for the sea-
son. In Cincinnati, business under this
head Is rather quiet. The Shoe and Leather
Review, of May 80, says:
Trade during the past week in Chicago
has been pretty good for the season. Some
OF the jobbers have started their statesmen
with lines OF fall samples; and considering
that 1t is so early, they are receiving fair
orders. Manufacturers expect quite o
heavy trade in boots, and assert that the
country dealers have very little heavy
goods left over from last winter, while the
farmers are In better condition to buy,
and will take more boots, rather than
shoes.
There is no doubt that the fall trade will
be large, providing the weather is favorable,
Crop prospects constitute leading topic
OF discussion, and while some seem to CON
slider the outlook very poor one others
are quite hopeful, and It Is conceded that,
should the next thirty days bring favorable
reports, trade will be better than for some
years past. The market is in u healthy
cohuition, and retailers throughout the
west are in shape to purchase freely, as
to be on the whole excellent seasons for col
lections, more particularly in Iowa, Kansas
and Nebraska. Money is circulating quite
freely, but the average merchant is still
cautious and careful about overstocking,
For these reasons the jobbers feel encour.
aged, and are making their preparations
Tor larger trade than usual Local manu-.
facturers are getting out number of new
styles OF both boots and shoes in the finer
creaspg. The firms who have not vet
started their statesmen will do so in The
next few weeks.
In rubber boots and shoes there is nothing
doing. Phe iobbers have placed pretty
inll orders, and the present prospect is that
there will be no substantial variations in
the prices, though, as there is no ovcrstock,
the rubber companies are very firm, and
discounts will be held more uniform.

DRYaOODs.

A Boston special says: the week having
been broken by holiday, there is nothing
to note in dry goods except that the tone OF
cotton fabric is trile less strong than a
week ago. Sheetngs and shirtings are
selling only in small lots. Print cloths
have been slow and weak, and stocks in first
hands show a further light accumulation.
In prints there Is no movement OF impor-
lance. Wooden goods are slow, and the
market is somewhat depressed. The large
aucti IN sale last week supplied the wants OF
buyers, and there has been very little doing
since in heavy weights. Flannels, blankets,
carpets and hosiery show no animation and
present no features OF importance. The c!c., .
ing trade has been quiet, with no new points
OF special interest.
A New York dispatch says, although the
day closes very quiet, the weeks volume of
business completed is Of very good proper
lions, though largely made up of miscella-
neous assortments to meet the immediate
needs OF the distributing trade. Plannels
and blankets have received attention, and
some business has succeeded. Kentucky
jeans are in small stock with agents, and
deliveries on orders and new selections are
coming for good percentage of production.
In dress goods nuns veilings are very pop
ular, and very superior quality from The
Manchester mills is having u good demand
and distribution. Cotton and woolen GOOD.

LUMBER AND BUILDING MATERIAL

The south has been hindered in the de.
velopment OF its vast timber lands by the
lack OF capital and experience, quite as
much as 1t has in the development of its
manufacturing resources. There is now
however steady movement of experienced
northern men with plenty of capital into
these states, and they have been Welcomed
heartily by the southern press and people
who realize the benefits which must accrue
to this section from the development OF
their wonderful forest wealth. The extern
sion OF the southern railroad system is
opening vast tracts of forest lands hitherto
almost inaccessible, as far as numbering
was concerned and offering splendid chances
for the investmest of money in timber
lands as well rs for numbering. The
amount of capital already put into the
lumber business in the south, compared
with what there is room for, is very incon-
siderable. From all the states the cry is
Tor more money to develop the timber
lands.

city, continually inquiring for remittances
that never came. Finally she gave this up
and went to borrowing, or trying to Dor.
row, small sums Of money. Her usual man
ner was to enter 4 store when the proprie-
tor was most busily engaged, apologize for
her intrusion in lady-like manner and
ask for the loan offrom twenty-five cents
to 81. Never more than that and never
less. A refusal had no effect, asshe would
return next day with an apology and a
similar request. She has frequently been
to New York and several years ago she
went 10 Washington TO see certain mem-
bers Of Congress about subsidy which she
claimed she was entitled to as an authoress.
1t is mystery how she obtained money for
her travels. Some say she did not use any
money at all, but trusted TO the gallantry
OF conductors not to put her of their trains
between the stations, and when she had
gone as far as possible on one train she
would patiently await the arrival Of the
next.
Some OF her vagaries are shown by an
incident that happened here FIVE or six
years ago. Theodore Tilton was to lecture
one evening, and she took her stand at the
foot OF the stairs awaiting his coming.
When he appeared, in company with sew.
eral men, she went toward him, touched
him on the shoulder and said:
"Mr. Tilton, l want you to pay me the
money you owe me-"
Tilton was 80 astonished that for some
time he was unable to say anything, but at
length asked her for what he was indebted
to her.
"You have been using my lecture long
enough" she replied, "and now want
you 10 pay me for 1t"

SCRANTON, Pa, July 2.-Among the con-
victs taken to Philadelphia to-day was a
lad named Charles Westcett, convicted in
the Lackawanna courts Of larceny. He is
one Of two sons Of D. E. westcott, who,
with his wife. created sensation by cru
city toward their sons, Charles and Willie.
The boys seemed to have had name for
stealing. To break them Of the habit Mrs.
Westcott took Willie and knelt
by a red hot stove, and plac-
ing his bare hands on It prayed
for him, asking him to unite with her in
prayer. The boy begged piteously for
mercy, yelling so loud from the pain Of his
burns that the neighbors were startled.
Charles was tortured the same way by both
father and mother. Still tho boys contin-
ued to steal. On another occasion Charles
was compelled to stand upon his head on
barrel for three hours The jury acquitted
the Westcotts Of cruelty to their children.

To sav TO a man who all his LIE has bee,

To say to man who all his life has been
taking a hot and heavy meal at midday,
that in warm weather midday is not q
good time for such meal, is to say some
thing which to him sounds very much like
saCriIege. He will at once reply that the
heavy meal OF the day should be taken
early enough to digest before bedtime.
There are very few men, except those who
perform the hardest kind OF manual labor,
who need meat three times day in warm
weather, and hot meat at that, as is the
generous custom in this community. A
light lunch at noon, OF bread and fruit, or
cold meat: II meat there must be; an even
ing meal Of vegetables bread and fruit,
with a small portion Of meat II meat must
come in again, is best for these warm
months.
There are very few men who can load up
with big hot dinner al. noon and return
at once to their work with relish and a
readiness for it. Those who haven't time to
"sleep it off," as very few have, know that
it binds them in lethargy until the system
recovers sufficiently to shake offthe effects;
aud this may require an hour or the whole
afternoon according to the food, the tenn
perament, the temperature and the nature
Of the employment. Very few, also, 60 to
bed 80 soon after supper that a dinner
could not be digested as easily as the hot
aud bountiiul supper which is an institu.
ton in this community. A good deal better
than iretting and tuning about the discom.
forts of hot weather, and filling oneself
with leo water, Is to exercise little reason
and care in the diet-about the last thing
that anybody. thinks Of until the physician
IS called in to prescribe It.

Count dc chambor.l,s Condition.

PARIS, July 2.-Itis stated that the re.
lapse Of Count de Chambord is due to the
bursting Of an intestinal tumor.
I The Clarion says the case Of the Count
is not quite hopeless.
The news Of the Counts illness caused
great excitement in Paris yesterday. Many
persons presumed he was actually dead.
The Monarchists assembled this morn
ing at the house ofthe Marquis DeDreur
Breze to consider their course in the event
OF the death OF Chambord. A consultation
of physicians was to be held at Frohsdorif,
the Counts residence, and II there was any
hope, a telegram was to be sent to Paris.
AS no news has been received up to noon,
the worst is feared.
The condition OF Connt de Chambord is
not SO serious as was at first reported.

Mr.. Wheat by the shoulder and exclaimed,
"My God, man, tell me whose daughter
that isl Mr.. Wheat told him.
When Miss Wheat was fourteen yeara
old, and only few years before her mar.
rage, Madame Rudersdolf, who had come
over from London to Boston seeking a
voice that would win distinction as the
prima donna Of the Royal Opera Company,
heard ofthe young lady through former
teacher at Pittsburgh, and she wrote her
parents letter saying that il Miss Kate's
voice was all It was described 10 be she
would tender her the first position in Her
Majesty's Opera Company, where she
would rank with Patti and Nilsson. Mr..
and Mrs. Wheat were not at all fattered
by the offer, and the former responded in
anything but an appreciative vein. The
young lady, however, never ceased to re.
gret that the offer had been declined.

She sings from lowest contralto to high F

OF this city remarked recently, there is an
eyenness and smoothness about her notes

Her early life was spent in Wheeling, and

she seems destined soon to do, Wheeling
will claim her.
