and apprOpriating money placed in his
hands by farmers to pay of mortgages.
Wilson was agent for the Topeka Loan

The Oneen of the Dumps.

There is one woman in Oakland.
though now living in obscurity, who
may yet be the leader OF the counterfeit
non-blue blood aristOrcacy, which is so
prominent in society circles. This wOm-
an is Mrs. Peterson, Queen OF the
Dumps" as she is better known in the
lower strata OF society. Her home is a
cottage in the midst OF the public dumps
at the foot OF Oak street. The only
decorations that surround her humble
residence are tomato cans. old barrels,
cast-off clothing. shoes, etc. When she
squatted on this land she was. literally.
without dollar, her only property con-
sisting of the house over her head, a
few pieces OF furniture, one COW and
chickens. To-day she is the owner OF
two houses rented, and has large bank
account besides. All this has been
made out Of the dumps. Every morn
ing it is her regular business to rake
over the refuse deposited the day pre-
vious- Everything Of any commercial
value is picked out, even TO the bottles
and rags, which are sold to the rag
man. Others who know to her success
and accumulation of wealth would glad
" enter into the business, but they
know her too well to infringe upon her
untitled territory. A few years hence
she most likely will send her children
TO fashion able seminaries or colleges.
An eleg ant mansion will be their home
and the Petersons will give o'clock
teas and flourish in society like weeds.
The dump pile, however, will never be
their family crest-San FraucicS0

DUN'S REVIEW.
THE WEEKLY REPORT OF BUSINESS
OUTLOOK MORE FAVORABLE. TIE
EXPORTS OF COTTON ARE DOUBLE
THAT OF LAST YEAR.
Dun's Review of Trade.

NEW YORK. May IS.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
In every respect the outlook is more
favorable excepting the large exports
of gold and the advance in the Bank OF
England rates to per cent, obviously
for the purpose of draining more gold
from this country. 1t is a most favor
able symptom that the continued ex-
ports Of gold cause no panic in this
market, and it is significant fact that
exports in April were about dou-
bic last years in value as to
cotton and showed an increase in
oil and provisions. but a de-
crease in cattle and breadstuffs. Yet in
breadstuffs the decrease was wholly IN
corn. and the surplus of wheat available
for export was, May lst, about 39,00O,-
900 bushels The exports Of wheat
from Atlantic ports have been much
smaller than year ago until last week,
when an increase of 10 per cent APP
pears. In corn the decrease is heavy OF
course.
The speculative markets have acted
peculiarly during the past week, wheat
advancing cents per bushel on re-
ports. not substantiaued, of injury to
crops in the northwest while corn has
fell cents and oats q cents on mod
crate sales.
Pork. lard and hogs are also lower
and a heavy decline appears in butter.
Cotton, coffee and oil are
unchanged and this is the more
remarkable as to cotton because the lar
gest crop ever produced is going to
market more rapidly than ever before
at this season. The final prospect just
now turns largely upon the export OF
gold. Merchandise exports are for the
time comparatively small, sl2, 40, O00in
two weeks from New York against SIS,
639, 600 last year while imports continue
remarkably large.

throughout the country during the last

Poverty and Wealth.

a tiny baby. with a silky fringe of
black hair and bright black eyes, lay in
her mothers lap last night, tossed her
little arms about and looked up at her
parent and smiled. The mother, black
haired too, smiled back to the babe.
but her eyes were not so bright, for she
looked through tears. The baby is four
weeks old. Its father DISAPPEARED five
months ago. The mother. Margaret
Smith, supported herself by hard work
for a while. Then without a penny in
her pocket she was forced to seek re-
tirement. She found it on the top
floor of the rear tenement at No. 40I
West Forty-ninth street. with a little
widow, Mrs. Stephen, who said to the
woman. whom she had never seen be-
ore: Come in: take that room: paw
ME 81 week if you can: if you
haven't il, it matters nothing. I'll
share with YOU And she did share
her coffee and her bread-all she had.
The babe was borG. As soon as the
mother could move she tried to place it
somewhere so that she might go to work
and repay Mrs. Stephen at least the
money she owed her. One philanthro-
pic institution would not receive her
baby because she had been married:
another because it was overcrowded. So
there she sat yesterday, and while the
tiny one crOwed and swung its arms. she
wept. But little Mrs. Stephen said
cheerily: ''Oh, she will find a place
for the little Margaret. and thea she
will work. Meantime will take care
OF them: but we are all very poor"

THE WHIPPING POST.
Delawarians Smash Il into KindIing Wood

A recent dispatch from Wilmington.

but itremained for party OF enraged
negroes, who were opposed TO having
the whipping-post exhibited at the
Worlds fair. TO take matters in their
own hands aud make legal action I'm
necessary. The purchaser OF the post
was J. c. Wigglesworth, and he had
stored the apparatus in his yard. 4
party of negroes broke the gate down
one afternoon. and with saws and axes
reduced the big wooden frame
to an unrecognizable mass of kindling
wood. A commission has been ap-
pointed by the levy court TO take steps
to recover the stocks through 2 process
OF law If necessary, writ of replevin
being advised on the ground that the
post was not the property Of the Jail
commissioners, and they had n right to
dispose of it. The purchaser was hunt
ed up and interviewed. From him it
was learned that the stocks were vet in
this city, and as proof the commission
was shown them standing in his back
yard. After an explanation Of the legal
aspect of the case, the purchaser. Mr..
Wigglesworth, consented 10 surrender
the property, and said he would deliver
it TO anybody the court might send. In
the meantime he proposed to take legal
advice, and if possible hold on to the
stocks. Wigglesworth paid s. for the
post and pillory, and it is said could
have gotten as many thousand for them.
The late Snowman, Barnum had agents
here last year trying to purchase them
to show in his circus, and offered to pay
$500 and replace them with another set

court desired. 1t was then said that no
money could induce the county to dis
pose of the relic and have it exhibited
