Francis Cation has collected some
interesting facts in regard to tho Of
feet Of athletics and tho improved
physical conditions during the last
forty years on the physique OF tho
middle classes, that great and i'm
portant part OF tho English popula-
tion which In tho arbitrary social
scale Of the country lies between the
artisan class on the ono side and tho
''upper ten thousand" on tho other.
says tho ST. Louis Globe-Democrat
Mr.. Cation gives instructive evil

dressing them no habitually lowered
his eyes, and If In crowd no would
readily 500 over the heads OF tho peo-
pie. Writing In 1898 he states that
ho no longer possesses these advan-
tages. Altered social conditions In his
opinion. hive helped to improve tho
bodily powers and address OF this
class; such conditions, for instance,
as moro wholesome md abundant
food. better cooking. warmer cloth
Ing. moderation In tho use OF alec.
hol. better-ventilatcd shopping rooms,
moro change through vacations. and,
lastly, tho healthy lives led by
women in their girlhood. Ono OF tho
most striking sights In tho city Of
London Is the number OF tall women

more particularly among the women
In tho upper classes that the i'm

CHICAGO, Ill, March 25.-Ex. Congress-
man Ransom Durham to-day filed In the
circuit court bill for divorce. The bill is
a sensational one, the charges being of the
grRvest character. The matter has been In
volved in secrecy, the court officials joining

ings from the public gaze. Although the bill
eluded the public vision, it was learned that
the correspondent was a wealthy banker

the weslthiesb institutions Of its kind in the
city. Behind the bill is an action against a
banker, which has not yet been filed, in
which 900 is claimed as dam
ages by Mr.. Durham for alienation
of the affections Of his wife. In his bill Mr..
Dunham declares that he decided to his wife
the homestead in which he now lives in
order to secure to her a home, and that he
also assigned to her life insurance policies
amounting to S27, 200, on which he Is
still making payments. He declares
that she is about TO dispose Of these things
and leave him without home. He also
asserts that on Dec 81, lass, Mrs. Dun
ham, without any cause whatever, left her
| home and Is now in South Dakota, where
she has retained counsel and has begun suit
for divorce, alleging that her husband was
unkind and guilty Of cruel treatment.

slowly and surely. 1t is certain that a NUNS

exceeded by the aggregate Of those who
want to be public printer. Tennessee alone

dered an opinion in the suit of the govern
ment against the amalgamated council and
the officers of the various labor organiza-

November last. An injunction against the
ore sanizations was asked for under the
act of congress prohibiting the combina-
tions in restraint of trade. In an elaborate
oninion the court sets aside every claim Of
t6e defendants AMI declares that the acts Of
the amalgamated council and officers Of the
union were unlawful 10 ordering general
strike. and that the merchants are entitled
to iniunotions and other relief. The decis-
ion discusses fully the rights Of labor unions

INMAN MAKES A SCOOP.

He Buys Large Holding in Tonnes
see Coal and Iron.
NEW YORK, March 25.-In Wall street
lightning never strikes twice in the same
place, but John II. Iuman does. About five
years ago he made the biggest deal in Ten
nessee Coal and Iron Company stock which
up to that time had ever taken place. On
that occasion he bought IL 900 shares from
William Duncan of Nashville, and so soon
as the purchase became generally known
Tennessee coal boomed enabling Mr.. Inman
to realize over 100000 profit on his trade.
To-day he discounted his deal
with Mr.. Duncan by buying for
himself and associates % 500 shares
OF the same stock from Col. h. F. Debard-
eleben. For several months past it has been
common talk in Wall street that Col. De-
bardeleben owned over 60 900 shares of
Tennessee coal, and it was thought by some
that the recent heavy decline would force
him to dump his holdings on a falling mar
ket and thereby involve him in serious
financial embarrassment. The colonel has
proven his ability to take care Of himself
even in Wall street. BY his deal with Mr..
Inman to-day he gets about $500 900 10 cash
and still remains the largest individual stock
holder in the Tennessee Coal company, and
is as independent as wood sawyer" of

tions. The terms Of his trade with MIR. In
