THE WORST FEMININE NUISANCE.
The Woman Who Walks Down Stairs Wit
Skirt Trailing Behind.

Inc w OIndn VINO Whlks DOWn SLalrb WI
Skirt Trailing Behind.
New York SUM-
Worse than all other women nuisances in
the world is the woman who descends the
stairs in front of you, leaving all her
draperies, or any part of them, to trail be-
hind her on the stairs. But there was a
man of heroic mold got out at the Ninety
fourth street station of the Sixth avenue
elevated the other day. He was trying to
walk down the stairs just behind one OF
these skirt-trailing women, and as he seemed
humane individual he danced schottische
half way down the steps to keep off her pet
ticoats. But it was too late in the after
noon. and the crowd was pushing him on,
and finally he set one substantial foot de-
liberatelv upon her skirts.
There was an awful crack, and the skirt
trailer was nearly jerked off her feet back
ward, while a beautiful green sash was
pulled away from its moorings somewhere
about her waist. She gave one awful look
at the sinner, but he didn't turn a shade
paler. He didn't even lift his hat or beg
her pardon. He did better than that. He
said coolly: MADAM. there is nobody to
blame bu. yourself. am not the person to
look after your skirts. And you are not
entitled to half the length of the stairway in
going down it. You owe me and every per-
son on this stairway an apology. That's the
plain truth for once, if you never heard it
before"

appreciation in prices here, the report that the
New York bank statement made an unfavor-
able showing, coupled with the decline in
stocks, had depressing feeling, and prices were
carried to the lowest point.

prices holding within Xc range. The market
opened slightly lower. but advanced &c, re-
ceded to opening figures for May. but rallied

Pork-Rather a good business was trans
acted and prices huctuated considerably.
Opening sales were made at 10c decline. but a
fair inquiry caused a steadier feeling and the
| decline was recovered Later there was con-
siderable pressure to sell while the inquiry was
less urgent, and a reduction Of l774920c was
submitted to. Toward the close the feeling
was steadier and prices rallied 71kQlOc, though
trading was moderate.
Lard-COnsiderable interest was manifested.
