New York, Aug 11.-R. G. Dunn q
company's weekly review says that
the long desired meeting Of congress,
the presidents message and the arriV-
al of 81 10000 of gold from Europe
with S1O,OOO,OOO more on the way have
not brought the improvement many
had anticipated
The machinery Of exchange has al
most stopped. When $50 per $1,000 Is
paid in New York exchange at Chicago
and SIS to $50 in other western cities,
settlements between the east and the
west. which necessarily amount to 3d.
2OO.ooo, eOO IN u year, become extremely
difficult.
The root Of the trouble is that, ac-
eording to the reports of July il, to
the comptroller over $131 100000 in de-
posts had been withdrawn in two
months from part Of the national
banks and probably SIT, 100000 from
all, during the month, since July Eth
the withdrawal and boarding must
have been relatively and even greater
The arrest Of industry goes 50 Tar
that q third Of the iron production
ceased in the month Of July and the
consumption Of iron in manufacture
diminished 4G per cent. from May 1,
to July l. Not even this shrlnkaSe
stimulates the demand enough to sup
port prices, which remain the lowest
on record If only confidence in the
future could be restored the monetary
trouble might soon be relieved. But
the present want Of cash, it is said,
accounts for the retarded movement
Of wheat from the farmers to the

have somewhat declined.

lodging and entrance amounting to 81,
leaves 20 cents for food and 80 cents
for incidentals, Midway Plaisance, etc
These figures We're furnished by a
young New York clerk, who said he
saw all he wanted to and WAS not con-
scious of practicing more than his
usual economy. Many, on the other
hand, still pay SIS a day at the down
town hotels and leave $40 behind them
every time they visit Jackson park
With very slight increase of mental
and physical effort this sum could
be raised from $25 to $3.50 per day.
The fact is, Chicago at the present
time affords rare facilities for the fee
ble-minded to be wrenched apart from
their funds. Something is wrong with
the intellect or veracity of man who
complains of robbery when he can get
room, rated at So in May, for so
cents, and can buy clean, wholesome,
well-cooked, weI-served meal for %

TREATING A DARK DINING ROOM
How a Clever Woman Made Hers
Really Seem Light and Airy.

How Clever Woman Made Hers
Really Seem Light and Airy.
There is Il small dining-rOom at the
top of a big apartment house in Il big
city, which is as different from the con-
ventional dining as possible, says
The Housekeeper. To atone for the
want or light the artistic mistress
nung it with a pinkiSh terra Gotta car
fridge paper, a soft, warm color that
made the room glow to begin with. She
put light hangings of rosy-pink silko-
line at the windows, and at the one in
which a cheerless sun sometimes
struggled as if it had lost it's way and
meant to get out as quickly as posi-
bic, she put up q shelf with green ivicS
and ferns, winter and summer keeping
Il pot of blooming plants in their midst,
which she replaced with a fresh one
from the florist every month or six
weeks.
Instead of a big, cheap, clumsy side
board, she bracketed UP light shelves,
over Il little light table, which did duty
for buffers table, or table runner"
She fastened up narrow shelves over
the doors and put bright pieces of
china on them. The rug that covered
the center of the stained floor was
warm cream and pinllish terra Gotta.
Along one side of the wall she built a
sort Of rude bench, wide enough for
comfort, which she covered with Il fur
rug in white and tawny browns, with
Il big pillow at either end, replacing the
rug in summer with cushions covered
with cool linen worked with cream and
old rose.
The idea of lightness which just say
ed the room from being poky and
stuffy was carried out in the chairs
which were of oak, with spindle backs
and cane seats Instead of the ordinary
extension table, occupying the whole
center of the room, was a pine kitchen
table with leaves that let down, and
when up, formed an oval capable of
holding eight people. This was stained
and vanished into a good imitation OF
oak, and when not in use was folded
into its smallest compass.

Bombay, Aug. H.-The riots be-

MAY NEVER RIDE AGAIN.
Sanger's Injuries Very Likely to Be
Permanent.

Milwaukee, Aug 12.-There Il a
strong probability that Walter G. San
ger, the champion bicycle rider, will
never again appear in a wheelmen's
race. 1t is stated by members Of his
family and close friends that great
fears are entertained that the cham
pion received permanent injuries in
the accident in Chicago.
He has been taken to Waukesha for
rcss and III, deal treatment. AS yet
it is Impossible to determine whether
or lot his injuries were Of an internal
nature. Some fears are entertained
that he was internally injured, and that
the injury will prove Of such Il charac-
ter IS to preclude the possibility Of his
ever again making any kind Of speed
upon his wheel.

SEA WATER AS A MEDICINE.
Effective in Ordinary Cases of Indi-
gestion and a Good General Tonic.

When Il bather at Coney island the
other day accidentally swallowed big
Sulp of sea water and then rushed off
to get Il drink of whisky to take the
taste out of his mouth, q successful
medical practitioner who had witness
ed the performance said to New
York Herald man: THAT man is either
greenhorn or a fool. Otherwise he
would have taken merely a sip of lem
oLade and allowed the sea water to do
its work. AS a matter of fact, one Of
the most beneficial features of a sea
bath is the salt water inadvertently
swallowed by bathers. 1t is q wonder
full tonic for the liver, stomach and
kidneys. In many cases it will cure
billiousness where all drug prepare
tons have failed. Tt is peculiarly effec-
tive in ordinary cases of Indigestion,
disordered stomach and insomnia, and
has been known to produce excellent
results i'll many cass Of dyspepsia. Sea
water is full of tonic and Sedative prop
critics. 1t won't hurt anybody. Two or
three big swallows Of it would be of
positive benefit to nine batherS out Of
ten. 1T isn't palatable or tempting,
but neither is qlinine or calomel You
never see an old sailor who is bilious
dyspeptic, or victim of insomnia,
and why? For the reason that an
ocean of good mdicine spreads all
about his ship, and he doses himself
copiously with it whenever his physical
mechanism becomes the least bit de-
ranged

100 feet square in one corner. The cold

1t is perfectly proper to put all food

Their usual method is to put the corn
