A Practical Princess.
The Housewife.

The Housewife.
If reports be true, the Princess of Wales
is an eminently clever milliner and gives
finishing touches to all her own bonnets and
hats, and judging from the individuality Of
her taste in the direction, it is quite likely
rumOr may be safely credited. a very
pretty story has long been current as to the
royal lady's gift in this art. Not member
Of the royal family, net a person intimately
attached to the court could venture to sug
gest that after long years the queens
mourning might with advantage be lessened.
whereupon the Princess of Wales gently
took the matter in hand. Without word
to anybody she remodeled the queens SOM
bre bonnet, removed the weeds" and.
with a few artistic touches, relieved her
majestey's head-covering of its mournfu
aspect. Silently the queen submitted To-
the change. but all the court knew she did
so for her daughter-in-law's sweet sake.

The Army of the Potomac was not in con-

GIGANTIC LUMBER SYNDICATE
Alleged TO Have Been Formed.
What a Local Lumberman Says.

What a Local Lumberman Says.
A prominent member of the Lumber
mems exchange was seen last evening in
relation to the appended communication
from the Chicago News. He said, gener-
ally, that the exchange itself was formed
for the purpose of holding prices up by
preventing the cutting of rates, but further
than that it had no interest in any pool
which might exist. He added: IF prices
are to go up, as stated, am heartily glad.
the Lord knows. for we have been PLAYING
at a losing game for over two years" The
communication referred TO is as follows:
Having secured the monopoly of the lum-
Der trade in the country by barring out COM
petitions through highly restrictive tariff
and by Selling all timber land that is accessi-
BILE at merely nominal figures, the lumber
manufacturers are naturally now combining
to put up prices on consumers. II is alleged
that a far-reachng combination of lumber
manufacturers OF northern Minnesota has
lust been formed for the purpose of raising
the seasons opening prices of lumber from
SI5O to 81 per thousand, according 10 grades
This combination is said TO include the oper-
ators and dealers of the ST. Cloud, Sank
RAPIDS, Little Falls, Brainerd, Duluth and
Cloouet mills and all the larger mill along the
Northern Pacific. 1t is said that 1.-THE left
over stocks" have all been pooled and that
they aggregate over two hundred million
feet
There is not in the history Of the industries
of any country more outrageous and dis
graceful system of legislation than that under
which this lumber monopoly has been made
possible and built up. In the hrst place. the
monopolists are allowed 10 appropriate all the
lumber lands of the country by system of
entry which places enormous wealth in their
possession at merely nominal cost. In the
second place Ia restrictive tariff cOmpels con-
sumers, who nave parted with these lands
almost without consideration, to purchase
lumber from various syndicates of capitalists
at prices fixed by the latter. In this way
consumers are plundered from two sources
and directions, while they are tied hand and
foot and so rendered incapable of protecting
themselves.
The farmers are the largest sufferers by
this process OF lumber monopoly, now re-
duced to practical if not scientific system.
In view of this fact, would it not, as a matter
of mere prudeace. be well for this syndicate
10 wait until cur farming interests are safe
guarded TO some little extent against the COM
petition Of India, Russia and Australia in the

The HennepIn surveys.

WASHINGTON. March 9.-The secretary
of war to-day transmitted to the house re-
ports of Chief of Engineers Newton and
Mai. Hardbury of the engineer corps in
reference to the survey for the Hennepin
canal. Maj. Hamburg. recommends what
is known as the Marais d Deer route. He
estimates the cost of the canal by this route
at S5.sl1. 367, OF about 81, 900, 900 less than
by the other route surveyed. This estimate
is exclusive of the cost of the ''DiXOn
feeder" which is common to all the routes,
and which will cost 1.664. III. Mai.
Hardbury says the Marais DiOcer route is
better, cheaper and affords a better regu-
lated supply of water than the other routes
surveyed. Gen. Newton adheres, however.

Island route, and says it offers the greatest
commercial advantages.

Forcing the Bankruptcy Bill.

WASHINGTON, March "a determined
effort is to be made to pass the bankruptcy
bill at this session of congress. The East

understood 90 be an organization, with
headquarters in New York, that is prepar-
ing TO exert all the influence possible by
any sort of means to pass the bill. 1t has
been favOrably reported from the house
committee by very close vote, and will be
vigorously opposed in the house even by
some or these who voted for it in commit
tee, they having done so with the under
standing that they might oppose it in the
house. The bill reported is the Lowell
bill somewhat amended. There are evil
dences already that there will be ''strOng

REDUCING HOURS.

1t seems that the prevalent tendency to
reduce hours of labor extends into and in
cludes nearly all business fields. The John
orth Brewing company has taken up the
movement and this morning will reduce the
time the employees Of the establishment
have to work four hours per day. Since
time immemorial brewers have been hard
working people. Their hours. in scarcely
any establishment i'm the country, have
been less than fourteen hours per day, and
in many instances they have been more.
This morning the 0rth company will inau-
gurate ten-hour-per-day system, and this
without the solicitation of any of the en-
ployes. The change will neceSsitate en-
ploying at least six additional men TO ac-
complsh like result, or in round numbers,
the expenditure of over SIS. 900 per annum.
Each man is to receive the same wages as
paid before.
