BOTH SIDES EELY ON TIME.
Lines Tightly Drawn by Single Asso'
citation Against Outsiders.

The Cedar Shingle Association continues
to maintain its prices, though the demand
is all, both IN consequence OF the SLOW
recovery Of business and of the late open
ing of spring in the East. and the fight
with the outside dealers seems to have re-
solved itself into struggle of endurance.
The association men express confidence
in their ability TO whip the outsiders into
line. and say that some have already made
advances nth a view to going in, but they
wanted some concessions, and the execu-
tive committee would grant them none.
Two Of the outside mills have Joined
within the last fe. days. The reason
given for the weakening OF the outsiders
is their inability TO buy at less than asso-
citation prices. One local firm Is said 10
have paid association millmen the associ-
alton price for Eastern BUYERS. and ihus
To have lost materially on the deal. = A.
Gibbs. OF Tacoma. is said To have in
siructi his representatives in the East 10
take no more orders below association
prices, which Is regarded as EVIL
dence that he cannot buy enough
shingles to fill the orders he is receiv-
ing a, cut prices. One weapon the
association Is using is 10 allow no sales 10
outside dealers except at Eastern prices,
thus forcing them not merely 10 maintain
prices but 10 do business 81 a loss in doing
so. Meanwhile, the association is holding
its ranks firm by getting the large iobbers
who are in the dealers association to help
those who need II by trading supplies for
shingles and 10 make liberal advances
when they buy large quantities. The large
manufacturers who get large orders, are
making a practice Of dividing them with
the smaller ones, so as 10 help them until
trade becomes more active.
On the other hand the outsiders are just
~ confident of their ability 10 fight II out
They say that very few orders are coming
in, bat thai they are getting nearly all Of
these, and find no difficulty in securing
the shingles to iii them. While they do
not claim 10 pay tie full association price,
they say that their terms IS Il hole are
Just As good. Thus cents can be

Died by Taking Arsenic.

Annie Simondson, the domestic who
died Monday night under suspicious cir
cumstances, committed suicide. Coroner
Horton came to that conclusion yesterday
afternoon after he had subjected the con-
tents of her stomach TO chemical analysis

The cause for the act is partly explained
by her nickname, Crazy Annie" Sh'

preparation Of the biography of Mr. Blaine,
which will soon be published, and Miss
Hattie has been quietly going ON with her
studies
Miss Blaine is a bright. Attractive girl,
and as the baby Of the family was espe-
cially idolized by her father She has seen
very little of society, as the family has been
almost continually in mourning since she
made her debut several years ago, but she
will be welcome addition to the social
life Of the capital now that the family has
emerged from its retirement. She is an
exceptionally accomplished young woman
Of 22, slender and graceful, with an exqui-
site complexion, large dark eyes and face
beautiful In expression. Her reading has
covered broad and diversified range of
subjects, and she has Travelled great deal,
so that with her quick wit she is never at a
loss for AN interesting topic of conversation.
Truxton Beale, Miss Blaine's ailiauced,
was appointed minister TO Persia by Presi-
dent Harrison and afterward transferred to
Athens. He is about - years old and in
herited a large fortune from his father, the
late General Il, + Beale Of California, who
was appointed minister 10 Austria by Pres.
ident Grant, One Of Mr.. Beale's sisters is
the wife Of John X. Mclean of the Cincin-
natl Enquirer, another Is the wife Of the
present Russian minister To Greece, and an
other is the widow Of General William b.

"a good story is told on ex- Pension ON
missioner Black, +" said Chicago ATTIC ney.
every one who knows Black isawar, that
he is one Of the most dignihed legal acti-
TONERS in the west, and that he il also
somewhat enamOred OF the classics. Not
long ago he was attorney In "A usury @ &c at
Springfield, and in his address 10 the jury
he quoted very freely from the 'Mer lant

although the plaintiff could demana his
pound of flesh, the terms Of his bond did
not enable him to go beyond this.
The attorney for the alleged usurer seem
ed very much amused at the line OF argu-
ment Mr.. Black was taking, and when that
gentleman's peroration was concluded he
rose and remarked with somewhat OF a
pitying tone that Brother Black had re-

"If half the citizens Of New York only
knew such simple thing as how TO roll up
an umbrella, would probably have to close
up my repairing department" said All up
town umbrella dealer. Most OF the UNI
brellas brought here TO be mended,n he

II they had been kept properly rolled.
The right way to roll your umbrella is
10 take hold Of the ends Of the ribs and the
stick with the same hand and hold them
tightly enough To prevent their being twist
ed while the covering is being twirled
around with the other hand. Then your
umbrella will be AS nicely closed as when
you bought it, and the only wear and tear
will be on the cloth.
at Is twisting the ribs out OF shape
around the stick and fastening them there
that spoils most Of the umbrellas that are
brought to me to he fixed up. Never hold
the umbrella by the handle alone when you
roll IL up, and you will find il will last ny

The recent announcement Of the engage

to Greece and previously minister to Persia,
caused quite ripple of surprise in Wash

gagement were printed in the newspapers
Each time the rumors were so emphatically y
denied that peopleat last became convinced
the marriage was never to take place and
were of course surprised when the engage
ment was announced.
The Blaines have been living in strict Sc

died year ago last January was occupied
at all. Mrs. Blaine and her sister, Miss
