exchanges claimed that the storage rates Of
the Transit Company were too high and the
cause of depression in business The Transit
Company's representatives cOurted discus

show by their books that the present rate
did not pay them twelve per cent. on the

NERVOUS FEELING IN NEW ORLEANS.
New ORLEANS, June 1.-THE failure Of
Gidiere, Day & Co., cotton factors, was
more than anything else caused by the nerv-
Gus feeling existing in financial circles here.
There are the grayest apprehensiOns for the
future. The Lane cotton-mill Of Lehman,
Abrams & Co., and the Louisiana cotton
mill, near the barracks, have stopped work,
and next week the Maginnis mill will quit
thus throwing some fifteen hundred opera
tives out of employment. The new sugar
refinery of the Wallace Company put out
their fires to-day with Il, 00e barrels of sugar
on hand. 1t is carefully estimated that
200, 600 barrels of sugar ara held in Louisi-
ana for which there is no market. The to-
bacco trade was badly hurt by the Carriere
failure also and it is probable that num-
Der of cigar factories will quit work during
the coming week.

fuence there upon the success of the Gov
eminent loan. 1t is reported that the Gov
eminent had given the banks notice that
they require Government deposits now in
their hands for purchasing gold. These de-
posts, payable on demand. at the end of

CREDIT MOBILIER.
Ames' Answer to the Petition of the I'm
ion Pacific.

The answer of Oliver Ames to the
petition of the Union Pacific railway COM
pany, asking that the order by which Ames
was made receiver Of the Credit Mobilier be
recinded, and that q citizen of that state be
appointed in bis stead, has been filed in
Philadelphia. The respondent admits that
the petitioners, as alleged, is the successor
Of the Union Pacific railway company, and
says that whether said company has been
served with a process, or has ever appeared
in a suit, are matters which are apparent,
but denies the right of the petitioner
to be heard without first entering its
appearance, for the reason that the Union
Pacific company is named as the party of
the defendant. He declares that there has
been a fraudulent combination among the
officers Of the Credit Mobilier to cause the
abandonment Of the SUIT pending in Massa-
chusetts. He denies that the Credit Mo-
bilier Is insolvent, and says that when he
has recovered his just dues from the petit
toner he shall be able to pay its debts and
divide a considerable sum OF money among
the stockholders. He asks the court to re-
quire the petitioner to appear in court, and
to compel the delivery to the respondent
Of the books and papers Of the Credit Mo-
bilier.

Some Peculiarities in Divorce.

M. Bartillon, the editor of the eAl-
nails of Demography," has been giving
a lecture in which he sets forth the fat
that the households in which divorces
are most common are those where tie
consorts are most nearly of the sane
age. Where there is a great disparity
of age it is necessary to make a con-
plete distinction between cases whe'e
the elder party is the husband aid
where he is not. Old husbands, pr
some reason or other, seem to be BIT
ter able to retain the affections of thiir
wives, or at any rate to retain legal
possession of their better halves, thn
young ones; for, as the man is olderin
proportion to the woman, so is he Dss
frequently divorced from her. With
women it is altogether different, for
the older they are In proportion to tleir
husbands the more likely they are to
part or be parted from them. In max
ing these comparisons, judicial sepra-
tions-in countries where divorce isnot
permitted-are counted as divoices.
But M. Bertillon finds that in countries
where divorce is prohibited suiiides
from "domestic trouble" and pdson-
ings are much more frequent than

portant railroad cases entitled F. l.. Ames,
ct al, the board Of directors Of the Union
Pacific railroad company. plaintiffs in error,
against the state OF Kansas, ex rel, f. A.
Johnston, encouragement, and the Kan
sas Pacific railroad company, plaintiffs in
error, against the same, in error from the
circuit cour Of the United States for the
district of Kansas. These were suits
brought by the state of Kansas in her
W courts against the Union Pa
cifc and Kansas Pacific railroad
companies to defeat the CONSOLE
dation of these companies, which was ef-
fected by agreement entered into or the
oath OF June, 1888. The questions present.
ed here relate to the right OF the removal
from the state to the federal courts, which
is claimed by the railroad companies and
denied by the courts. The supreme court
holds, first, that these are suits Of a civil
second, they are suits arising I'M
the laws of the United States; and,
third, they are properly removable to the
courts under the act Of March 8,

the cases as properly removed

Soap-M Making at Home.
Detroit Free Press.

GkAO EACO O6o
Having heard how simply soap can
be made at home by means of "ninety-
eight per cent. caustic soda," l thought
1 would try for myself and test the
practicability of this process and have
met with great success. 1t is a matter
of surprise housewives do not more Of
ten make their own soap; it can only
be that it is not generally known how
simply it can be made, without trouble,
and no boiling required; or what a
saving may be effected in the smallest
families. Only two articles are re-
quired, fat and nlnety-eight per cent.
caustic soda, the latter of which can be
obtained id a most convenient form,
viz, one-half pound tins. This with
one quart of water and three pounds of
fat-any clean household fat or grease
will enable anyone to make six
pounds of pure hard soap of far supe-
rior quality to any you can buy. The
process is simply this
Take a half pound TIN of ninety-eight
per cent. caustic soda and empty it into
a basin containing n quart cold
water. In a large basin melt three
pounds of any kind of fat, only it must
not contain any salt; let it stand till it
is just warm, then pour the soda into it
in a continuous stream, stirring till it
becomes like honey. Then Jour the
mixture into a damped piece of calico
to prevent its sticking to the sides and
bottom, cover over with an old blanket
and set in one corner of the kitchen till
next day, when you will have a block
of pure soap weighing about six pounds
at a cost of six cents for the half pound
of caustic soda. If there be any traces
of salt in the fat it may be eliminated
by pouring the fat when warm into cold
water. The fat will solidify on the top
of the water and can be remeited for
soap-making. l must have these few
facts and figures to have their due
weight upon the numerous readers, and
can only ask them to thy it and l am
sure they will never be without it. l
shall be pleased to send instructions in
making various kinds of soap, or an
swer any inquiries from those interested
in the subject.

Woman rs Wheat Spectators.

From a broker the Chicago Tribune
has learned that there are perhaps az
many as 500 women in that city who
speculate regularly, and that many
leading brokers refuse their custom.
"They kick first, last and always" he
said, ''if they lose; and if they win a
dollar or two or $50 they talk you to
death. They are governed by dreams
and seances, and if the market goes
against them, they swear by the dream
and say they have been swindled. l
suppose there are many women pos
sessed of private fortunes who extract
a pleasure from speculation, but they
generally do business through some
personal friend on the regular board,
and not on the call board. l know
from experience that there are very
few men who would permit their wives
