GREAT DAY FOR BULLS.
Ed Partridge Gets Caught In tho Chi
eago Wheat Pit for Nearly 81, 900, 900.

CHICAGO, April 12-The bull clique in
the wheat market had fun yesterday with
the May shorts. They were after big
game and they bagged some OF it. Ed
Partridge was very slow to respond to the
call for more margins, which all the brok-
ers with whom he had deals showered
upon him, and they bought in a lot OF
Pardridge's wheat in the pit John Cud-
Rhy Is the ostenSible head Of the bull
clique and Partridge sent an ambassador
10 him suing for terms II was accorded
settlement on from 2,00O. 900 to 5000, 600
OF May wheat, it is said, at 81 cents per
bushel, which settlement, it is thought,
leaves Pardridge poorer man by about
s'5o,oD than he was before Besides what
he settled privately with Cudahy, he is
supposed to have bought in another 5OO,-
600 bushels through his brokers. He Is
understood to be still short of enough to
lose him another 81 ,o10. 900 beside his losses
of yesterday. He sold out 5000 shares Of
West Chicago street railroad stock to help
him pay Yesterdays losses

CANNOT ExPEL GOODWIN SMITH
Legal Opinion Against the ST. Georges So.
ciety Action.


TORONTO, Ont, May 12.--Goldwin
Smiths position as u life member of
the st. Georges society having been
attacked on the score of his political
opinions, he has taken legal advice as
to his position, and has been informed
that expulsion on political grounds.
when he had not broken any rule Of
the society, would be illegal and a
court of law would reinstate him. The
act of incorporation defines the object
of the society as the relief of such ma

in the society" Mr. Smith, in
a letter, maintains that this
bylaw is distinct pledge of political
neutrality on the part of the society to
all who become its members and con-
tribute TO its fund. Referring to the
question of continental union, Mr..
Smith, in closing, says:

A Question Of Clothing.

On the northern shores OF Lake NY
assa live the Wukonde, described by
all travellers rs ono of the finest tribes
OF central Africa. Lieut.. Nieustaedt,a a
German traveller, has called attention
to one remarkable result OF the prox-
unity of white men, who have estab-
lished missionary stations in that re-
giou.
The Wakonde have thriven by the
arts Of peace, and hardly any part Of
savage Africa can show so many Hour.
ishing plantations as their country.
They manifest their primitive simplic-
ity In many ways, and in none more
than by their attire, which is chiefly
conspicuous for its absence, for the
WakOnde are among the least clad OF
African peoples. A girdle of brass or
copper wire sutlices for the men, while
a very small bit of braided leather
adorned with beads is full dress for
the ladies of the tribe.
Until the whites came among them
their utter lack OF clothing suggested
to this primitive people not the slight
est thought OF indccorum. Clothing
is NOT IN essential Of comfort amoug,
them. and no sense Of shame or mod
esty suggested lis use. The Wakonde
were simply animals In their innocence
and simplicity.
The whites, however, have been try.
ing to instill into their minds an idea
that never occurred to them before,
that it is immodest to be unclotIied.
The well-meaning teachers have not
succeeded In converting the natives To
their ideas of dress reform. but the
Wakonde have shown themselves will
ing TO make some concessions 10 the
prejndiccs of the newcomers. When.
ever they are aware that white man
~ approaching, men aud women alike
disappear IN the plantations, where
they pluck few banana leaves and
stick them in their girdles. Having
thus m.,de their toilets they present
themselves to their visitors In the calm
confidence that. arrayed in their
lesves, they viii not offend the inscru-
table sense of propricty OF the mission
aries, who had prescribed cotton
cloths. but had been compelled 10 CON-
promise on the foliage OF the banana
plant.
These missionaries. says the N. Y.
San,seem entirely to overlook the fact
that dress is really nothing but mat
ter OF customi that millions Of people
who think the uncovered faces Of our
women on the street are shameful have
habits OF attire that do not accord with
our notions OF propriety, and that In
stilling into the minds III savages ideas
of indcc0rnm where none whatever
had existed may not be after all the
best way to improve and benefit their
Immortal souls.
