Tables Reserved for Gentlemen.

On entering one of these women's

purposes of eating only. Women like
them well. however. They are, as a
rule, more economical feeders than

run higher, Of course, but not much
higher, as a rule.
They feel at horne in these places
and frequently take off their hats as

OF an hour over a cup of tea without

A Writ of Habeas Corpus Granted,
Returnable Next Monday.
LOUISVILLE, KY, Feb. 10.-Argument
was heard to-day in the United States Dis
-trict Court on the motion for writ of
shabeas.corpus in the case of Valentine Hat
field and eight others, citizens of West Vir-
gi1ia, now confiued In the Jail of Pike
county, Kentucky. Hon. Eustace
Gibson appeared for West Virginia
and Attorney General Hardin and
'exGov. Knott for Kentucky. Judge Barr,
in rendering his decision, stated that he
felt great hesitancy in the matter. The
case was without precedent, and he was
doubtful, the petitions being obscure.
Such being the case, however, and the
attorneys for the State OF Kentucky
having failed to show that the prisoners
confined in Pike county jail had been placed
there through due process Of law, be in
clined to the side claiming relief for the per-
sons unjustly confined, and would grant the
writ Of habeas corpus, returnable next
Monday week. A question was raised
concerning the payment Of the expenses
necessary to bring the prisoners to court,
q distance Of $50 miles, through the widest
portion of the State. Mr.. Gibson volun-
teered finally to see that the expenses were
paid. The case will be reheard when the
prisoners appear in'court.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-The February
statistical report of the Department of
Agriculture relates to the numbers and
values of farm animals. There is reported
an increase in horses, mules and cattle, and
a decrease in sheep and swine. The largest
rate of increase is i'll horses, amounting to
fully per cent, and il is general through
out the country, though largest west of the
Mississippi. The aggregate exceeds lS,O0O,-
600. The increase in mules average 81 per
cent.
The increase in cattle is nearly 2l5 per
cent, corresponding closely with the ad-
vances in population 1t makes an aggre-
gate Of over 100000, or 50 per 100 of
population. The increase is nearly as large
in milch cows as in other cattle
In sheep the decline appears to be between
and per cent, the aggregate of the flocks
being about 43, 500 600
There is a smaller decline i'll the numbers
of swine, less than per cent, leaving an
aggregate of over 1900, 900.
NO CHANGE IN PRICES
The prices of horses and mules are nearly
the same as last year, but both are lower
than in the year 1884, when the continuous
advance from 1879 eliminated. The average
for all ages is $71 50 for horses and $40 7S
for mules a decrease of 33c. and SIC. re-
spectively
From 1879 to 1884 the annual estimates of
the prices of mich cows and of other cattle
advanced yearly, and the decline has since
been uninterrupted without exception for
either class of stock The fall in milch
COWS has been from 500 0S to $24 45, over
8 per cent, and in oxen and other cattle
from $40 70 to $17 80, n decline Of 10 per
cent. in the last year.
In sheep, as In other stock, the annual ad
vance was quite steady after 1870, and
amounted to 22 per cent In four years.
From 1888 to 1886 the decline was over 25
per cent, or from 81 So to 81 81. Next
years average was 81 OF, and the present
average is 50 05, or nearly as much as in
the depression of 1879, when prices were the
lowest in twenty years.
There has beer an advance in the average
for swine of all ages from "a 48 to "a 9S, or
IL per cent. The annual advance was cor
tinuous from 1870 TO 1883, then declining to
1886, and slightly advancing again since.
The aggregate value of all farm animals
is $S,000,000 more than year ago the
totals for cattle being smaller by about S64, =
100000, for sheep trihe smaller, with an
increase in those for horses, mules and
swine. Horses represent &946, 900, 900, mules
