The Downward Tendency Still Con-
tinueS,

During the last five years there
has been a gradual but positive de-
cline in the prices of all dry goods,
the causes being variously attributed
to overproduction, change of tariff
rates, hard times, etc. Within the
last three months the indications
have been that prices had reached
bottom, but this theory is again
disturbed by A. W. Rich & Co.,
of Milwaukee, on all goods contained
in their mammoth establishment.
This great reduction when taken
into consideration that A. w. Rich
& Co.'s prices are always the lowest
in the market, is evidently but a
temporary offer for the purpose OF
rapidly reducing their present large
stock.

Il have been teaching billiards five
or six years." said j. Randolph Heiser,
the cue expert of New York. in CONVEX
sation with reporter the other even
ing, land suppose l have taught as
many as 800 ladies in that time, in ad-
dition to managing a ladies' billiard
room at Long Branch every summer
With all due respect to the fair sex. l
am compelled to say that it is not like
ly the champion billiardist will ever be
a female. They play gracefully enough,
that is some of them; but they are not
practical. Others, again, are far from
graceful, and-did you ever see a wo-
man throw stone at hen to drive it
out of her garden? Well, some women
look about as awkward handling the
cue. Then they get chalk all over
themselves, and it is an awful strain on
some of them to remember which is
their ball in the game. Like a great
many males woman can never figure
on position and nowadays that's the
whole game. Even when she becomes
quite expert she is liable in game to
do is the average male amateur does
lunge ahead and make the easiest shot
without giving thought to position
or set up You'd be sstonished,
though. to find how popular the game
of billiards is becoming in high-toned
New York society. Many ladies think
billiards just as necessary an accom-
plishment as music. ."-Ne,o HaUen

is requested in this connection:
Mr.. H. H. Newsum, one of the jury of in

Ludwig, on the steamer Magnolia, in this
city Sunday night, informs US that the evil
dence of the watchman Of the boat revealed
the fact that young Eberle had just boarded
the steamer, and went to where Ludwig was
talking about selling the pistol, and while
swapping it, it fred, killing Eberle. The
pistol was the property of Ludwig and the
cartridges had been Withdrawn few minutes
before firing, and how one got back into the
chamber OF the pistol is where the mys-
tery is involved. Our informants yes
terday were understood to be under the i'm

Eberle and he was trying to sell the same,
and also that he was aboard the boat sky

Home Missions.

As announced on Saturday last, Mrs. Jeu-
ME +. Willing, of Chicago, field secretary of
the Woman's Home Missionary Society of the
Methodist Episcopal church, spent the Sab
bath In this city, in the interest of that i'm
portant work. She addressed very large
audience in the Central church in the morn-
ing and effected an organization of an aux
iliary society of abou; one hundred members.
In the afternoon she addressed the ladies of
81. Paul church and organized society of
about forty members. At night she spoke in
the High street church 10 an audience which
comfortably filed the house, composed large
ly OF ladies. There being already home
missionary organization in this church for
local purposes, Mrs Williu simply urged the
ladies composing it to transfer the organiza-
ton to the general society. About fifty new
names were secured here Mrs. Willing is
one of the most charming and impressive
speakers we have heard. She spoke in High
street church for over an hour, holding the
undivided attention of the audience to the
last moment
