The Promising West.

Prof. Bryce, M. p: In Connecticut
and Massachusetts the operatives in many
a manufacturing town lead "a life far
easier, far more frightened by intel.
lectual culture and by amusements, than
that OF the clerks and shopkeepers Of
England or France. In cities like Cleve-
land or Chicago one finds miles on miles

each with its tiny garden plot, owned by
the shop assistants and handicraftsmen
who return on the horse cars in the even
ing from their work. All I'VE the west
from Lake Ontario to the upper
Missouri, one travels past farms of 200 to
300 acres, in every n OF which there is
a spacious farm house among the
orchards and meadows, where the farm
ers' children grow up strong and hearty
on abundant food, the boys full of in
telligence and enterprise, ready to push
their way on farms Of their
own or enter business in the near
est town; the girls familiar with
the current literature of England as well
as Of America. The life Of the new emf
grant in the further west has its priva-
tons in the first years, but it is frightened
by hope and has a singular charm Of
freedom and simplicity. The impression
which this comfort and plenty makes is
heightened by the brilliance and keen.

and cleanness which ever the cities wear,

ST LouIs, Jan. 1.-THE story of tht
disastrous experience OF q pretty young
schoolma'am aud a loaded personal
developed here today. The schoolma am
is Miss Sophia Baron, of the Benton
school. Miss Baron is a lively brunette.
several weeks ago she saw the per
sonal in a morning paper. 1t was
a simple, inoiTensive looking per.
sonal, and there was no suggestion
OF dynamite about il. 1t stated that
a young widower, well fixed, in Kansas
CITY, desired to marry a congenial young
lauy. Miss Baron, as she puts il now,
thought she would have some fun with
the widoWer. She answered the per-
sonal. A correspondence followed. and
she read the letters to her female friends.
and they did have fun. She received a
photograph OF a handsome young man
and sent a pretty actress picture in re.
turn. Then Mr.. Loewe, for that
was the Kansas City mans
name, sneaked down here on
the quiet to size up his lady love. "He
followed her TO school one day" He
walked right into her room while she was
tedcnlAB young IDEAS 10 shoot with more
or less correctness, and he attempted to
embrace her. She screamed, and then he
declared himself. She looked up and
saw an old dried up shadow OF so years.
go away she screamed. he pulled
out the photograph and her letters and
said that, although she had changed
some since she was photographed,
there was no change in the letters.
Prlnci pal Kudiner was called, and the old
lover said he wanted to get married then
and there or around the corner in the jus
tees office. Miss Baron wept and the
old fellow swore, and the whole school
was in an uproar. 1t wasn't so funny for
the young lady then. She threatened to
horsewhlp Loewe, bat the old man was
dead game and he said he liked spunk in
a woman. Finally be was fired out, and
is supposed to have returned to Kansas
City. Miss Baron has been suspended by
the school board.

STATE OF TRADE.

But little change in the trade situation
was developed during the last week. The
work OF adjusting commercial affairs 10 the
requirements OF another year has engrossed
attention, to the general restriction OF other
business. Now, however, that the matters
ore pretty well out OF the way, a gradual re-
sumption of activity may be expected, as the
conditions In most branches are favorable to
a healthy expansion Of trade. The failures
during the last week throughout the United
states and Canada aggregated 3s7, an in
crease OF s. over the total OF the preceding
week. Failures are usually numerous at this
season OF the year for a variety of reasons,
but 3S' in one week is probably the highest
number ever recorded In this country Ia that
period Of time.
Mild weather has retarded Improvement in
the anthracite coal trade, and prices are
weak. A better inquiry is noted in some
branches Of the iron trade, and the outlook
for business during the mouth is more en-
couraging.
In spite Of lighter receipts OF wheat at com
mercial c%enters, tie markets range from \ OF
d seHi W Is Vi u cent per Dusnel lower than
they were q week ago In consequence Of the
ebbing away Of speculative condolences, the
continued restriction Of demand by the cur
tailment OF -four production and the diversion
OF foreign attention to sources Of support
outside OF the United States. Corn prices
have decl red "a to IL cents per bushel as a
result OF liberal receipts. The collapse Of the
Hungarian maize syndicate, after months of
unsuccessful! effort to uphold the prices OF
Danubian corn in foreign markets, was prob
ably a direct result Of the big crop yield and
low prices in this country. The foreign spec
~ulators are said to have sunk over 81, OOO, OCO
In their operations. The export demand for
corn has continued very fair, and large guam
titles have been engaged for shipment from
Atlantic ports during this and next month.
A showing OF larger stocks than had been ex-
pected and speculative manipulation have
weakened values Of hog products In Chicago.
The price Of lard is 80 cents per 100 pounds
lower, and other products have also eighty
declined.
