Mrs, DiSraeli's Economy,

OF the rigid economy practiced by
Mrs Disracli there is ono very good
story told: Mrs. Disraeli and her hus-
band had come down from London to
spend the Easter vacation at Hu5heu-
den, and had called on the various
tradesmen at Wycombe to order the
groceries and other requirements for
their ten days or fortnigllt's stay. 1t
so happea I'd that their sojourn was
rather abruptly shortened and Mrs.
Disraeli was seen calling on the grocers
and other purveyors, taking out Of the
carriage the non-consumed wares, and
asking the shOp-keepers to receive them
back and have them reweighed. and
SO to make a reduction on their ac-
counts. The greatest statesman. with
folded arms, was leaning back in the
carriage, perfectly nonchalent, but evil
IDENTIFY DESTROYS to have no share In
the frugal transaction. Such rigid econ
omy was no longer required after the
cid lady who SO admired his books
died, and left him her entire fortune,
amounting to over 100000.

THE SALE POSTPONED.

Eau Claire, Wis, Sept. 1.-THE affairs
of the National Electric Manufacturing
company came up before Judge Bailey
to-day on an order to the receiver. r. E.
Rust. to show cause why the sale of
the plant, set for Sept. 4, should not be
adjourned. The order was obtained by
Gen. Griffin, representing the Ansonia
Electric company and many other cred
itors After arguments. during which
attorneys for local creditors opposed post
ponement, the court made an order to
postpone the sale to Nov. 1. The post
ponement of the sale was asked for on
the ground that the financial strngcncy
had created unusual conditions; that at
this time cash payment by a purchaser
of an adequate amount would be practi-
cally impossible, and that the actual val
lie of the plant could not be realized

ings in his Office recently in regard to
the issuing of state warrants which is a
change in the manner affairs of state

cisions is to the effect that no bills of
the state Institutions will be allowed and
warrants drawn Oh the 1893 appropra-
ton where the service was rendered or
material furnished previous to the pres
Ont fiscal year, unless the material fur

calls it's mate by tapping with its head

is similar to that which may be pro-

The natural result Of limitation was a higher

As the investigating committee has shown, the
railroads charge mach more for carving coal
