THE NEW BANK.
4 MEETING IN ITS INTEREST CALLED FOR
THIS AFTERNOON.
A Large Attendance Expected and Dssirsd-kn-
couraging Signs Of Better Times-GlaSs
Houses Preparing TO Resume
Work.

Two o'clock this afternoon is the time
set for the meeting Of the manufacturers
and iobbers of the city, at the Direc-
tors room of the Exchange Bank, to de-
liberats upon the project Of forming q
new and large bank, to succeed to the
business of the Exchange and NIL the
void in local business affairs caused oy
the assignn Of that institution Inc
indications yesterday were that there
would be a general and generous re-
sponse to this call, and it is hoped ths'
this will be the case. and that oeIore
the meeting adjourns 1t Will
be settled. definitely and con-
clusively. that the new bank VIII oe
go and that the business men OF the
citv ara 70 have the benefits which VIII
flow from the inauguration OF such al
institution. The subscriptions OF STOCK
already secured are quite large. Suu
with what Is now upon paper as oas'e'
It IL very generally believed that there
will be no difficulty In carrying up 'ne
total OF subscriptions to S25o'Ooo or
5000. 600. In which case the new oanA
will be at once set In motion.
While there has been no marked or
decided change for the better In DUST
ness circles, there are not wanting III
dications that the worst Is over, ana
that the current has set In the otner
direction. There is shade mere con-
fdence abroad, feeling that business
is bound to go on, that there VIII % no
more failures, that easier money Is
coming, and that the advent OF cooIer
weather. with its new demands upon
the business world, will see the COM
mercial situation completely restored
10 its norm al condition. These views
seem to rest upen sound prem
ises. for the present trouoIes
In the business world do
not arise from the same causes as ala
the panic of 1873, nor do they extend TO
ANYTHING like the limits reached by that
celebrated and general smash. Inc
troubles of twenty years ago continued
for two or three years, and an essentiai
feature of it was the general ana great
reduction In the prices OF almost ali
commodities. That feature is absent at
present, except in the matter OF certain
classes OF stocks. The trouble OF 1873
was a genuine panic, which pervaded
all forms OF business, and was long-con-
tinued and disastrous. The present
trouble is of altogether different
nature, and differs in kind not less than
in degree. A return Of confidence Will
see the end Of the disturbance, and bus
mess will ran along upon the same lines
and at about the same prices and In
the same or greater volume than be-
fore.

The Alexandra Baking Powder l!
the Best and Cheapest.

the Best and Cheapest.
For more than five years this
Baking Powder has been in use In
this market. Some 300, 900 cans have
been sent out with request that 1t 1t
did not give satisfaction they should
be returned, and none ever came
back. This is good evidence that
they gave general satisfaction.
The retail price of the Alexandra
baking powder 1925 cents a pound.
The other best standard brands are so
cents per pound, and it takes double
the quantity it does of the Alexandra
baking powder, which makes it cost
four times as much.
There are other baking powders
sold here as low as Is cents per ID,
but, like the high priced powders, it
takes two teaspoonfuls to each quart
of -four. The Alexandre requires only
one, and that makes % cents worth
OF it 60 as far as 30 ceuts of the So.
called cheap powders.
Then it is made in Waco, gives
employment to home people and all
the expenses and profits are spent
here, Another advantage, the fnctory
will buy back all the empty cans and
cases if returned in good condition.

On q Corpse Ticket.

Live men can travel on railroad
tickets calling for the transporta-
ton of corpse in casket." The
railroads have granted this preroga-
tive without any fight. The case
in which the decision was made
was that of Harry knight of Den
yer. He was suffering from what
was thought to be an incurable
disease and was brought to this
city by his sister for treatment. On
the advise of friends she bought
round-trip tickets, the return por-
ton of her brothers ticket being
made out for corpse.
Instead of dying in this city Mr..
Knight got we'll and went back to
Denver with his sister. He insisted
on travelling on the "dead man"
ticket. The conductor objected at
first, but finally accepted the slip
under protest. He referred the
matter to the officials of the road
and they decided that knight had
a right to his ride back to Denver.
This action may have been infu-
enced by the fact that the transpor-
tation for q corpse is double q first
class fare.-Chicago Post.

Cultivate the Sun1lower.

Among the crops that may be
grown, and that may be said to be
such as give returns, may be mem
toned the sunflower. It is rapid
and vigorous grower and every
part may be utilized; the leaves
for fodder, the stalks for fuel and
the seed for the manufacture of oil,
the residue being valuable food, or
tho seed may be used as feed with
out extracting the oil.
The oil makes an especially fine
lubricating fluid, and the residue
of the seed is said to be q better
feed than cotton-seed meal, because
it does not possess that highly slim
ulating quality possessed by cotton
seed oil cake. The whole seed may
be used As feed for sheep, swine,
poultry, cattle, and even horses,
and is devoid of the Objectionable
qualities attached to cotton seed ~

Sir Walters Dogs.

Sir Walter Scott once told visi-
tor that two hounds which were ly-
ing before the fire understood every
word he said. The friend seeming
incredulous, the novelist, to prove
his statement, picked up 9 book
and began to read aloud: II have
two lazy, good-for-nothing dogs
who lie about the fire and sleep and
let the cattle ruin my garden.
The dogs raised their heads, list
ened and then ran from the room,
but, finding the garden empty, soon
returned to the hearth rug. Sir
Walter again read the story, with
like result; but once more the dogs
came back disappointed. Instead
of rushing from the room when
their master commenced reading
the third time both bounds came
and locked up in his face, whined
and wagged their tails, as if to say
"You have made game ofus twice,
but you can't do it again. ."-Our

High Life IN Hotels.

Hotel life is rapidly gaining, and
another immense establishment is
to be erected in Madison avenue at
cost of 50, 100000. All the first.
class hotels are now filled-not by
transient guests, for these are not
wanted-but by families who en-
gage by the season, and this mode
of life has really become aristo-
cratic. Such houses as the Cam
bridge, the Windsor, the Clarendon,
the Victoria, the Brevoort, the
Plaza, the New Netherlands and
Holland House are palaces into
which none are admitted without
social rank. Some of the hotels ex-
clude families with children, while
others are so arranged as to toler-
ate what many consider objection
able, and even a nuisance. This
general antipathy to children, in
deed, is one Of the most repulsive
features of high life. Old age is al
so Objectionable, and it is not easy
to find any place open to this class.
Childhood on the one hand and age
on the other are frozen out OF
metropolitan society. What a con-
trast, however, between the splen-
dor of those palacial hotels, with
their spacious and magnificent
suites, and the packed population
of the tenement house! And what
a fearful condition is suggested by
the following plan, which appears
among real estate movements: ITO

Harvard Standard of Beauty.

Professor Sargent of Harvard
College gymnasium has measured
10000 women who are perfect as to
health, strength and development,
but be refuses to affirm that there
is any such thing as perfect FEM
inine figure" He never met one.
Every figure departs at some point
in some infnitesimal degree from
the standard established by the av-
erages of 10000 other good exam
Piles of the sex. Here are some
general data as to proportions of
the figure which should hold good.
The Venus of Milo is 5 feet 10 inches
high. The space from the center
line of the bosom to the middle of
the loins is III inches; from the
knee cap to the ground exactly the
same-174 inches. The circumfer-
ence of the bust is IS inches; Of
the waist 264 inches, and of the
hips IS inches, or exactly the same
as the bust.
The lower part of the Venus is
draped and is not susceptible of
measurement, but experts give
these additional measurements as
undoubtedly correct proportions of
her figure. The calf of the leg
should be equal to the neck in girth,
the measure of the extended arms
from finger tip to finger tip, 70
inches, or the exact height of the
woman; from the center line of
body to crown of head IS inches,
length of leg also IS inches, width
ofhips III inches, width of should
ers ia inches.
