Representations of Improvement in
Business Not Realized.
NEW York, April 6.--R. G. DUN q
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says:
The actual condition of business does
not improve, however hopeful the an
ticipation warranted. Unfavorable
weather has prevailed over wide aera,
affecting local trade and making coun-
try roads still more difficult.
Labor troubles are becoming an i'm
portant factor, strikes having been be-
gun at many localities in building trades
and the great coke strike having resulted
in riots and the calling out of the troops.
The volume of all kinds of money in
circulation is ST. 1,641, l45 greater than a
month ago. Practically the entire in
crease in March has been in silver GER
certificates and new silver notes, and
the amount of gold certificates out has
been reduced by exports of coin. Money
is temporarily close at some points on
account of April settlements, but nearly
all interior markets are quiet and COM
parativety easier. The
Failures for the First Quarter
of 1891 have been 3,545 in number,
against 1928 last year, and the liabih-
ties $42, 1877 .63l against S37, ,852, 1868 in the
United States. but more than the in
crease, both in number and liabilities,
appears in the Southern states. The
Eastern and Middle states report fewer
failures and smaller liabilities than last
year, but the Western states report
nearly as much increase. In Canada
the number Of failures has been 575,
against 635 last year. but the liabilities
$6,046, ,234, against 81, 529, ,349 last year.

was left without the authority to en-.

Tomorrow the annual dinner will be
given the aged and infirm at st. Sophia's
Home. 1t is ST. Joseph's day. and each
year on this anniversary that noble little
band of Christian workers. the Little Sis
ters of the Poor, provide such feast or
p" banquet" as the charitabty disposed will
enable them TO give.
The old people greatly enjoy these occa-
slons and one of the features which add TO
their pleasure is the custom of the clergy
and the ladies and gentlemen who are
present to don an apron and for the time
being actually become the servants of the
poor. A contribution to-day or to-mor-
row morning to the menu of the old peo-
ple's feast would be charity indeed.

that If halr Of his head were touched it
would result IN terrible punishment OF

The result OF the events Of Saturday is
that the ProvenZanos and Matrangas are
accusing each other Of being members of
the Malta, and from this some important
facts may become known. That the Ma
trangas are prominent in this society of
assassins there seems 10 be no doubt. but
in the Hennessey case there was not sutti-
cient evidence to imphcate Charles Ma

A Bright Lecture on This Subject by Pro-
fessor Winston.

There were no brighter faces in Rich
mond last night than those which poured

barely gave standing-rooin 70 the packed audi
ence The lecture was great success ana the
lecturer was crowned with tho plaudits OF MS
pleased audltors-Richmond's leading citizens.
The Professor began easily and first discussed
the history OF the dynamo-the thing that pro-
vides an unlimited supply Of electricity The
great Falady made the first electric motor IN
1921 thence through the years the principle
was further evolved till In 1856 Siemens made
the modern machine-the dynamo OF to.aay; Jay;
Gramme made tho whole thing effective In 1870.
The Shunt dynamo was explained and the work
OF Furmer, Brush, and Edison brought IN review.
THE DYNAMO WE USE.
The Professor by his elegant lantern exhibited
the Schuyler dynamo which lights our stroets
The present machines or this character, tho lee

wished One OF them can run twenty houfs
day every day In the year.
The WESTINGHOUSE alternating machine, the
converter, eectric-meters, electric-lghts, lamps,
arc and incnndescent, were explained and Illus
traied in way which brought frequent applause.

ier's execution In Now York was illustrated and
OLD AND NEW MOTORS.

sion in speaking Of the City railway manage
ment to compliment their skill and success Few

Ia equalled only by his modesty to Mr. Biufcrd,

who are working on these new lines OF discovery
and application.
The college Is 70 be congratulated upon the
great success Of these lectures, and Professor
Winston has not only advanced tho school which
