The Past weeks Business.

NEW YORK, April 13.-Nearly all points this
week report trade and business generally mac
tive, but all are hopeful. Money has become
tight South and West and poor collections are
reported. The inactivity has cauSeda general
yielding in prices. The government report on
the injury To wheat has caused a sharp advance
in breadstufs. Oil has risen 3IEc. Sugar has
gained slightly. Coffee is uncertain. Dry
goods show but moderate business, prints and
wooens both being weaker. The boot and
shoe trade is active. Iron shows little change,
Southern offerings at Sl5G20 for no. |, disturb
ing trade. Bar iron is low and irregular. The
stock market stands just where it did week
ago. The treasury helped the money market
the past week, paying out S2,S000O0 more than
il took in. March exports show decrease
from tine same month last year, but the first
week in April shows a decided increase. Fail
ures were 222 in the United States and Canada,
against 221 last week and 175 last year.

RED-HoT "FRlzzER" DID 1T.
Philadelphia Belle win Not Wear De-
coIiete Dresses for the Present.


PHILADELPHIA, April 14.-Pretty little Miss
Helen Forster, fascinating belle, wont wear
her dresses cut decollete at the social gather
ings of her set for awhile, as she is obliged,
through singular and painful, though most
serious accident, to wear just now linen cloths
spread with cold cream on her fair back and
shoulders Miss Helen was in the midst of her
toilet last evening, preparatory TO making her
self particularly attractive TO expected COM
pany. She was engaged in the feminine occu-
patton of enhancing her charms by curling into
tiny ringletS the locks Of blonde hair that na-
ture had placed on the nape OF her neck.
To do this nicely she used-as they say
thousands of other girls do, but may stop doing
after they hear of the accident that befell Miss
Helena long ordinary slate pencil, heated in
the gas flare TO such degree that 1t almost
singed her golden locks as she wrapped them
around it. At the very moment of performing
this, TO her, necessary function In her toilet
Miss Helen was only lightly clad. She had got
along in n satisfactory manner with one bunch
of stray locks, and was proceeding in the friz-
zing process when, horrible 10 relate, the red
hot pencil slipped from her fingers down her
back.
Ii had gone into the opening between her
single garment and her lily white skin. She
screamed q cry of pain and uttered calls for
help that would have alarmed the neighbor-
hood if windows had been raised, for the hot
'irizzer" was frizzling her back into blisters.
She twisted and squirmed in the hope that the
hot pencil would find its way 10 the floor, but
it was stayed in its course, and made her flesh
quiver as it burned. Before the pencil could
be removed Miss Helens back had been scared
into rows of red, ugly-looking blisters from her
shoulders to her waist as though she had been
gridironed by the red-hOt friZzing pencil as il
rolled down her back. Poor Miss Helen suffered
intense pain till her back was smeared with
cooling ointment and covered with lint.

Oil to Chicago.
CHICAGO, April 15.--It is stated here that the
Standard oil company has completed all its ar
rangements for building pipe line from Lima,
o., to Chicago for the cheap and rapid trans
portation of the crude OIL which is destined to
take the place of coal in the great manufacture
ing establishments in Chicago.
A short time ago the negotiations for the
right of way along the line Of the Chicago &

the track the trench in which ii Will be laid
Machinery will be used in the excavation OF
the trench and as soon as all the pipe can be
distributed the work of laying IL in the ground
will be conducted as fast as the weather will
permit
The pipe is eight inches in diameter and each
section is twenty-five feet long To lay one
mile requires 240 sections. As a carload con-
tains only forty-eight, it necesstates five car
loads for each mile, about l ,050 carloads for
the whole line, The joints are similar to those
used in gas and steam fitting, and will be equal
ly tight The estimated cost of the line, with
out the pumping machinery and reservoirs, is
about 5000 per mile. The total length of the
pipe viii be about 2l0 miles, and the entire in
vestment will aggregate s., ,250,000.

trols all the oil territory around Lima, and it
is intimated that for three months it has had
its agents out prospecting and leasing all oil
indicating property in the vicinity of Mont
pelier, about thirty miles south OF Huntington.
