The Meanest Man in the World.

A Columbia professor says that the
alleged meanest man in the world was
pointed out to him in Chicago. Hitherto
it has been supposed that he lived in
New York. He is named Hunham, and
owns tract of several acres in Ken
wood, handsome suburb of the windy
city. He has steadily refused to sell or
to allow any improvement Streets,
however, were put through his prop
erty, for which he was duly assessed.
Under our law this would be difficult in
New York city without the owners
consent. Witness One Hundred and
Eighth street, now covered by Lion
Park, east of ninth avenue. TO revenge
himself for the assessment, this expo
nent of landlordism is said to have put
up six or eight shanties, just in the
heart of the finest neighborhood The
neighbors are disguised, but the gentle
man is entitled to his pound of flesh,
and until the single tax comes they are
powerless

The hand Of time
deals lightly with a woman in
perfect health. But all func-
tional arrangements and dis
orders peculiar to women
leave their mark. You needn't
have them. DR.. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription comes to
your rescue as no other medl-
cine can. 1t cures them. For
periodical pains, prolapsus and
other displacements, bearing
down sensations, and all "fe-
male complaints and weak
nesses, it is a positive remedy.
1t is a powerful, restorative
tonic and nervine, imparting
strength to the whole system
in general, and to the uterine
organs and appendages in par
ticular. 1t keeps years from
your face and hgure-but adds
years to your life. It's guar
autesd to give satisfaction in
every case. If it doesn't,
your money is returned.

TO BE MADE AT HOME.
Simple Waists and Bodices Useful for sum-
mer Wear.

Simple Waists and Bodices seful for Sum-
mer Wear.
A very pretty and easily-fashiored
little waist for summer dresses may be
made after the following design: The
full shirred yoke and sleeves may be
made of sheer white lawn or cream
white china silk. The waist is gath
cred at the neck and again at the waist,
where close belt holds it in place.
The pointed bodice may be of giug-
ham, chambrey, china silk, challis or
any pretty summer material, and is cut
straight across the top, just below the
armholes, with straps of velvet ribbon
extending over the shoulder.
A very attractive gown may he made
of stem green sprigged challis, with
velvet straps over the shoulder. silk
guimpe and bodice of challis or green
repped silk. An equally pretty ging-
ham may be- made after the same
model.
Another simple waist which promises
to be summer favorite is called the
Pennant, which is made as exactly like
mans as is possible for woman's
wear. Pockets on either side the front,
and box plat extends down the
back. These are really skirts of tails,
as a man would say over which the
skirt is pinned This gives delightful
freedom to the arms, with no fear Of
the waist and skirt separating, as is
the most depraved and embarrassing
inclinative when the waist is cut off be-
low the belt.
This waist may be made of flannel,
linen or silk, and is equally pretty in
either material. Rather more elabo-
rate and dressy are silk waists with a
shirt yoke in the back and a plated
front with a frill in the hem. With
these is worn a broad scarf Of the same
material tied beneath the rundown
collar.-Boston Globe.

Stylish Shirt Fronts.

The shirt fronts are multiplying rap
dly as the season advances. They are
used in crepe de chine and in Englisl,
Grape for very handsome toilets, in light
tints contrasting with the color of the
dress. A belt made of rows of galloon
is frequently used to terminate the
bodice in front. Open jackets with
shirt fronts are much worn. Often with
these jackets instead of the shirt front

The cattle market seems to be on the
rise. At East Liberty markets on Mon
day there were 50cars on sale as against
30 cars on the same day last week, and
these brought prices 15@20c higher than
last week. Prime 400 to 1500fb steers
brought 6.35@6.50c; good fat cows
41S@5 15c; common and medium 3@4c;
veal calves 44@51ac.

Good supply of hogs of an Indifferent

Wheat in the local markets has taken
tumble since last week, and is now
worth Sl.0l at Bridgeport, and an even
dollar at this place. There is also de-
cline in -four and mill feed proportionate
to the reduction in wheat. 1t is now
thought that the bottom price has again
been reached, and no further decline will
follow. Other grains remain about the
same with but little In the market.
The wool market has not opened suffi-
ciently to allow close approximation OF
the price which will at first be offered
producers, but it will hover somewhere
near 30 cents.
