America, and In the United States he
studied life and Iolitirs. On returning to
Norway he raised what was known as the

should have clean flag, a flag without any
symbol of the union upon it. Being unsuc-

CHAPTER Y.

Slowly but surely nature closed the lips
of the fearful wound made in the young
Counts heart. and poured her balm upon
his peTturbed spirit. Rotzko succeeded at
last in coaXing his young master TO quit
Naples and TO set out upon an extensive
tour through Europe. Several years were
thus spent, and then longing came npon
him to pay visit 10 his ancestral home
On his journey homeward il was that Franz
had been forced 10 halt at the little inn for
days rest. The strange tales concerning
the castle OF the Carpathians had made a
deep impression upon his mind and
Justice KOllZ was not slow TO divine
that from the strange tone in which
Franz had pronounced the name of
Baron Rodolphe there must be some
mysterious bond between the two men.
The question which at once presented
itself TO the minds of the villagers was !:
Would the Count keep his promise now
that he knew who the owner of the castle
was? These speculations were cut short by
Franz himself. Rising abruptly, he laid his
hand on KoltZ's shoulder and cried out:
81 must see Nick the forester. Come. let's
60 over to your house."
Nick was still confined to his room, al

TRADE REVIEW.

Continued Rains Placed Somewhat OF q
Damper on Western Business The
Weeks Failures.
NEW YORK, May 7.-R. G. Dun & Co s
Weekly Review of Trade says: Business
has been much retarded throughout
most of the western states by unusual
and continuous rains The movement
of products is thus delayed, but it is be-
heved temporarily. Seeding in many
quarters is interrupted, though on the
whole fairly advanced for the season
and distribution of goods is checked A
somewhat better tone appears at the
south and business at the east is fairly
active for the season, although in some
lines dull and depressed Money is
everywhere abundant in part because
the demand is smaller than usual, but
this is in measure due to the unusual
conservatism of trade, buyers making
many small purchases instead of larger
purchases and waiting more carefully
for actual distribution
At Chicago the receipts of products
have been generally diminished by bad
weather and dry goods sales are smaller.
Exports for the week were little
less than last year and imports have
been little larger.
The business failures occurring
throughout the country during the last
seven days number 200 as compared with
totals of 211 last week For the CORE
spending week OF last year the figures

So far as is possible, it viii be best to

Improvement
With cattle. as rule it is easier to
overstock than it is to always reduce
the number that the farm can carry to
the best advantage, and especially so
when feed is slack.
Good tender grass is the best promoter
OF health among the sheep and also
helps the ewes to give a liberal supply
OF milk By giving them the rum of
good pasture sheep can be fattened very
easily, if they are given little grain in
addition.
With nearly all kinds of stock the
cheapest growth is that made on good
pasturage. There are many acres of
land that, by seeding down to grass and
using as pastures, can be made to re-
turn good profit when otherwise little
or no return would be realized from it
Care must be taken not to allow the
stock to crop the grass down too close.
While it is not advisable to allow any
grass to go to waste, yet it is easy to kill
out the grass plants by too close grazing,
especially late in the season, about the
time that hot, dry weather sets in A
pasture once well seeded to grass is too
valuable to run the risk of injuring by
too close pasturing at any time
With all kinds of stock more benefit
can be derived by dividing the pastures.
The stock will eat all down more even
" and a larger quantity of feed in pro-
portion to the acreage can be secured
All animals prefer the fresh growth,
and when they are not able to eat all
down evenly will let a portion grow
rank and even mature seed. while the
rest will be eaten down close. Dividing
the pastures lessons this materially.

New YORK, May Charles 81. Pink
ham, Jr., former president OF the Bank
OF Harlem, was arrested yesterday after
noon on an Indictment charging him
with misappropriating 10000 of the
funds of that bank
The discovery Of President Pinkhamis
alleged defalcation was made when q

with the Hamilton bank was put into

and they discovered shortage Super
intendent Preston, of the state banking
department, appeared before the grand
jury and the Indictment followed.
David E. Poston, successor to Pink
ham, as president of the bank of Har-
lem, said: MIR. Pinkham was one of
the organizers of the Bank of Harlem
In 1888. He has a wife and five or six
children He lived in good style. We
do not know what he did with the
money He borrowed of the bank for
himself on securities which we have
found to be worthless. So far as we
know he was not a gambler nor a fast
man The son of an ex-alderman
seems to have profted by these trans
actions and I am free to say that were
he in this country we should have him
indicted, too"
The condition Of the Bank of Harlem
after all the losses have been allowed
for, and some of them will undoubtedly
be recovered, the committee asserts
shows unusual strength. There is

posits of S429, 900. Furthermore, the
Hamilton bank is already the protector
Of the situation
Mr.. Pnkham, after his arrest, said
that he was too much perturbed to make
statement. He stated. however, that
1T appeared strange to him that after
two years the bank should take such
action against him. They had known
the circumstances all along. He ad-
mitted that there was deficit In the
banks accounts which the board of d.
rectors, he said, had been acquainted
with right along.
