X. q. Dun n co.'s Weekly Review OF
Trade. OF New York says
improvement has extended from the
banks to the mills The condition of great
industries has distinctly mended though
still seriously depressed. More important
by far than any rise In stocs Is the fact that
more works have resumed during the past
week than have stopped operation, 50 that
the producing force Of the country, after
months of constant decline has begun TO
increase. Dispatches mention 2s textile
and 30 metal works which have resumed
some only with part force while 25 textile
and nine iron works have stopped. It is
expected that most Of the Fall River mills
will start, the hands asserting ,c reduced
wages.
The money market is moro healthy. The
premium on currency bas almost vanished,

While money markets have greatly I'M

report of tie slaughter of the noted African
explorer, Emin Pasha and his band Of
Nubian warriors, by revengeful Arabs.
With band Of 80 chosen men Enin was
traversing the Ruanda country, along a
river that flows into the Cjngo, bound for
the coast. The hostile bands followed the
party until they had them surrounded by
greatly superior numbers, when they closed
in on the explorers.
The Arats were led BY a man Of giant
stature, who, after dramatically announcing
at is you, Emin, who killed our fellows at
Victor Nvanza, and So kill you,' cut of
Emin's head with one sweep of huge
scimeter. His followers were then massscr-
ed and the warm and bloody heads and
bodies turned over TO the Manyema native
cannibals, who devoured them, while the
Arabs danced and shouted vita demoniacal
glee.

is gambling carried on in regular gambling
resorts, but people of high standing and re.
spectability gamble. They may not put
down money but they set an example for
others in playing for prizes and awards. In
these progressive euchre games these per-
sons play for fine pictures or gold-headed
canes. Examples are set that are q viola
