The Iron and Steel Manufacturing
Co, Of Canonsburg, Pa, which had
been making arrangements to start in
connection with their mill manufac-
turing tin plate, and ordered the
machinery for the same, have aban-
doned the project and countermanded
the order for the machinery, giving as
reason that the incoming Democratic
administration having declared its
policy on the tariff, they fear that the
infant tin-plate industry would not
likely thrive under a revenue tariff.

Influence of Theological Schools.

Influence of Theological Schools.
The schools devoted to the training
of clergymen have bearing upon the
the national welfare. The clergyman
is not only citizen, but trainer of
citizens. Moral and social questions
pertain to his sphere, and although he
may not treat these abstractlv, vet in
the concrete form in which they ap-
pear he has much to do with their So
luton. Even where he cannot solve,
his counsels may teach patience and
all earnest striving for peaceful ad-
justment. Most of all, it falls to him
to keep the many members of the
social organism in sympathy with one
another. We're clerical demagogism
prevalent in the United States, its
power to harm society would be he
yOnd calculation. But the country
still looks to clergymen to promote
kindly tempers, scrupulous regard
for the rights of all, even the weakest,
and does not look in vain.-Harper's
Weekly.

The charge is bigamy. Johnstone

in Manitou for ten years. Wife No. l
when she confronted Mr.. tombstone
at the hotel Tuesday, said she was de-
serted in Philadelphia a few months
after being married to the accused.
Since then she has continued an un-
firing search for the missing spouse.

Ruckwheat Cakes.

First, be sure thatyou get perfectly
pure buckwheat, free from grit. The
authorizations with rye injure the quail
ity. Put one quart of cold water into
a stone jar with small neck add
it one tea-spoonful of salt and three
and three quarter cups of buckwheat
flour; beat well until perfectly smooth
then add a half cup of yeast or half a
compressed cake, aud mix well, cover
the top of the jar with a saucer or
plate; let it stand in moderately
warm place until morning. In the
morning dissolve half tea spoonful
of saleratus or soda in two table,
spoonfuls of boiling water; add this
to the batter, beat thoroughly and
bake on hot griddle. The saleratus
is simply to improve the flavor. A
cupful of this batter may be saved
and added to the cakes of tomorrow
instead of fresh yeast, and may be so
continued all winter.-Ex.

GRAIN GOES DOWN.

The Weather Bullish, but Elevator Mon
Keep Prices Down-Large Receipts the
Feature in Corn-July Alone l. Firm
Hog Products Fairly Steady.
CBICAGO-In spite of the fact that there
were some bullish features in the market to-
day, wheat was weak, and the net result OF
the trading was loss Of Hc in May and 20
in July, the greater weakness in the former
month being due chiefly to sales By elevator
men, who found no prospect of profit In
carrying charges while May and July were
SO close together. The result was that May.
which has for some time been at a parity
with July, was forced to 1lc discount. The
weather was unfavorable nearly every.
where. The Cincinnati Price Current, how
ever, says the crop has held its own very
well during the week.
More OF less of the wheat bought yester-
day on the unfavorable crop reports was
sold out to-day, increasing tho weakness.
at Sl@SlAc: sold off to s0s1c: broke to SOL <c;
July opening at sl14c, and selling during the
same time ut so7sc. size and s0sac. The
weakness continued during the last hour.
May touched soc and July S015c. Toward
the close the market frmed up some and
closed steady at sossc for May and s05sc for
July.
May corn was decidedly weak, and at the
yesterdays close. The cold wet weather in
the corn belt was bull factor, as tending
to lower the grading: but the large receipts,
containing good proportion of the contract
grade, neutralized this: and the general be-
lief that longs had about sold out EN-
boldened the shorts to sell more freely, and
these offerings made the market weak
throughout the session. May opened ut ~
@4lSc. against 4lhc at the close yesterday,
and with insignificant reactions sold off to
401sc, closing at 4O3sc: July was firm. open
ing 1sc higher at 391sc. 1t touched 391zc,
then weakened to oSHc, but closed un-
changed at SOC.
Oats sympathized with corn, closing 10
lower.
Hog products dull and fairly steady early.
The principal business was in changing
over from May to July-the packers and
shorts bought May and sold July. Toward
the end of the session the packers adopted
the tactics of yesterday and flooded the
market with offerings OF pork for July de-
livery, sending prices down. from which
there was no recovery, the market closing
weak for the product and steady for lard
and ribs. Pork shows net loss of 15c, while
lard and ribs are unchanged.
The leading futures ranged as follows. cor
