She had been engaged to young

a severe one upon Miss Matz, and
she visited friend in Wheeling in
hopes that change of scenes would
have good effect. She had been in
Wheeling about four weeks, and
nothing unusual had been noticed
save occasional spells of melancholy,
but she would cheer up again, and
the friends felt no special alarm. The
brother now fears that her mind be-

go back to the scene of the loss that
bore SO heavily upon her.

to give publicity to any libelous

Retailer. and Credia.

Retail dealers are often perplexed
as to how 20 deal with slow paying
customers. The dealers need the
money for their goods, and At the
same time they want to hold sill the
custom, possible, and they fear TO
offend patrons by too sharp and per
sistent dunning. The ideal condi-
ton of trade would be, that the
merchant should receive the pay at
the same time the sale is made.
Some merchants are able to carry on
business on cash basis, but to the
majority this seems an impossible
ty. Whether this assumption is
strictly correct or not we do not
here undertake to say. Accepting
the condition of trade as it sctually
is. it is certainly true that to many
merchants the severest trial they
meet in business is To collect pay
for goods sold This is one of the
crucial tests of a successful mer
chant, that dealer, TO be success
full must have practical knowledge
OF the goods he handles; that he
must know the wants of his patrons
and be able to supply them satisfac-
torily, that he must keep posted on
the markets and be prepared to buy
closely; that be must buy discrimi-
natingly and wisely, that he must
keep the public informed of what he
has to offer and so display his goods
and employ such salemen, and con-
duet the details of his busiuess so
as to attract customers, these are
ali points not to be overlooked. But
suppose all these matters to have
been attended. to in most serupu-
ious manner, and that he has dispos-
of large amount of goods at fair
prices, does this make him a success
full merchant. Not necessarily. The
question remains to be answered
whether he has received pay for the
goods. 1t is no trick at all to do bus
mess on the benevolent plan oftrust-
ing anybody and everybody and Civ
ing them all the time they want in
which to pay for the goods That is,
it would be no trick to keep this up
for a time, but eventually the mer
chant will find himself unable to
purchase goods to keep his store
running, unless he can command the
resources of national treasury, or
enter upon ways which do not stop
short of Canada, or the State Peni-
Tertiary. 1t requires tact to keep
collections up closely and hold trade
steadily-Manufocturer

BIG DEFICIENCY.
The Worlds Wheat
Crop 100000
Bushels Short.
AMERICAN FARMERS SHOULD NOT
SELL A BUSHEL NOW.
Our Crop Is 1870, 600, 600 Bushels Less
Than That Of Last Year, and as Eu-
ropes Crop Is Also Short Prices Are
Certain to go up-Better Feed it to
Stock Than Sell at Present Price.

ST.. LOUIS, July, z4.-The Journal
of Agriculture of this city, treatin g
editorially of the condition of the
prese mt wheat crop and the proba.
BILE wheat crop and the probable ad.
vance in prices, says the best Amer.
lean and European authorities agree
that the Worlds deficiency will be
at least 100,00O,O0O bushels. The
most reliable figures now place the
total American crop of 1898 at about
3S3,000,0 900 bushels, which, added To
the surplus carried over, will make
less than 45O,O00,OO0 bushels. En-
gland will want probably 250,00O,
900 bushels, and the home trade
needs 379,000,000 bushels.
The journal believes that, in view
of the fact that the American crop
is 130,000,000 bushels short as com
pared with last year, and as Europe
with short crop. is now grabbing
mp American wheat as fast as she
can without attracting too much at
tention, the time has come when
American farmers should not sell q
bushel of wheat at present prices
For granting, it says, that prices dc
not advance, it will pay much better
to feed to stock than to sell at pres
ent prices.

ably Getting Evidence to Prosecute
the Fair Officials for Contempt Of

CHICAGO, July 23..-The Worlds
Fair was closed to-day. The whole
aspect of the White City was one of
peaceful quiet. The denizens of the
Midway Plaisance sat around and
told stories of their far-away homes
and slept and rested and had good
time among themselves generally.
Towards noon a man appeared at
the Sixty fourth street gate and of
fered a ticket for admission and was
refused. He then took the number
of the gateman who refused to let
him in. 1t is supposed he was Sc

Exposition officials for contempt of

an injunction to restrain the officials
from closing the Fair Sundays.

Prof l. c. White, of Morgantown,
has been appointed chairman of the
Mining jury at the Worlds Fair
This is well deserved compliment
Prof. White is one of the most dis
tinguished biologists in the country,
and his opinions are eagerly sought.
His knowledge of the minerals OF
the State is perhaps superior to that
of any other man. For a time it
was thought that the Pennsylvania
coal operators were attempting to
arrange it so their State would Sc
cure all the first prizes on coal and
coke, but the selection of Prof. White
precludes that unless they are found
to be entitled to it upon their mer-
its. West Virginia is to be congrat-
ulated upon the selection, for we
are now assured that our minerals
and especially our coal and coke
which are winning universal favor
upon their merits in the markets OF
the country, will receive their just
reward, and will not ON account OF
prejudice be deprived of their proper
rating. - Fairmont Inder.

One reason assigned for the string
ency in the money market is that
100000 of our people have been
boarding their money for the purpose
of visiting the Worlds Fair. Allow
ing 800 to each of these 100000
people as having been withdrawn
from circulation the aggregate would
represent $500, 00O,0 900, or enough to
tighten the money market, for ordin
arily this amount would have been
kept in circulation which in business
affairs would mean many times its
value.

The Boom Style of Business.

The unfortunate condition of finan-
cial affairs in Colorado, Kansas and
some of the other Western States is
not likely to extend to, or to be felt
seriously in, other sections of the
country. AS Comptroller Eckels
pointed out in his address in New
York Tuesday evening, the failures
which have occurred have been
mainly in the boom cities and states
of the West, where speculation has
outrun discretion, and where reck-
less business and banking methods
have been substituted for the sound
and safe rules of finance and trade.
The institutions and business of the
east, mot less than of the south, have
thus far escaped, and will, because
the foundation upon which they are
builded are of rock and not of sand"
The failures in the west are,in word
the logical result of the high pres
sure system upon which they have
been doing business. The immuta-
BILE laws of business cannot be vio-
lated with any more impunity than
the laws of nature or of health, and
spectators who invest their money
in castles in the air can expect moth
but dissolving view of their invest
ments. Or, as Mr.. Eckels well puts
it, 1.-The financier who stakes his all
upon an unbuilt city reaching out in
to the waste places of the earth must
bring about the ruin of his own and
kindred institutions which have
| trusted in him and pinned their
faith to assets yet unborn" The
comptroller took occasion to empha-
size the fact, that the principal
thing needed to steady the financial
nerve of the Western States is con-
fidence in the ability of the country
to pass safely through the disturb
ed conditions which prevail just at
present. Even in spite of the inhe
rent weakness of many of the west
ern institutions which have collaps
| aI Of RI iata b.,ni
ciples on which they were conduct
ed, they would doubtless have been
able to keep their heads above the
rieing tide had not their creditors
lost confidence in them. But loss of
public confidence is nearly always
one Of the results of the boom style
of development. Mutual confidence
is impossible where community or
state is conscious that it has been
living recklessly and beyond it's
means, and at the first signal of
alarm every man make an effort to
save himself, regardless of the con-
sequences to the general public.
The disaster in the silver states
ought very properly to destroy their
confidence in the financial theories
and commercial practices that have
produced these results. But these
disasters should not destroy conf
dence in the stability of the rest of
the country, nor should the sufferers
despair of their own future. They
have learned bitter lesson, but
with wiser Legislation and more pru-
dent conduct of affairs, they will
soon retrieve the losses of to-day and
build their prosperity upon more
solid foundation for the future
