HIS TEETH STOLEN.
Notorious Woman Accused of
Stealing Them.

Annie Preston, who has rooms at the
corner OF Olive and Seventh, was arrest
ed last night by Lieut.. Sexton on tne
charge of stea ling plate of teeth from
DIR. Cornwall, who has his place of
business over Aliens drug store, corner
of Seventh and Jacks on. Miss Preston,
who is quite a notorious character in
police circles, visited DR.. CornwaiPs
place of business at about 5 o'clock in
tie afternoon. When she left. Nr.
Cornwall, who had observed in the past
that he invariably missed some
article after her departure. took har-
ried inventory and found that he was
short of gold tooth plate, valued at
something like s4a At 9:45 the festive
Miss Preston was arrested at her ROOMS
by Lieut.. Sexton. She took a ride to
the central police station in the patrol
wagon. When the lieutenant entered
Miss Preston's rooms she made hys-
terical shift of her teeth.
Despite Lieut.. Sections frantic efforts
to see where the missing tooth plate had
gone, a search proved of no avail.
Lieut.. Sexton insisted that her teeth be
removed, and they were. Miss Pres
toms mumbling was almost uninte!-
ligible. but it was understood that she
had not her usual facilities of speecn
with her.
At the police station she strongly ih.
sisted on her innocence, but her words
were still SO unintelligible that nothing
could be understood, and DR.. Caldwell'S
charges were so specific that it was de-
clded to hold her over till Monday.

ALMOSY EQUALS THAT
This the Hour for Every Man With Capital Shoulder
to the Wheel and Turn
Honest Penny.

During the past few days the G LOBE
has made careful inquiry into the
local business situation. Representa-
tive houses in every line have been
interviewed, regardless OF their political
.affiliatlon or possible pesslmistlc tens
denotes. The result is significant. 1t
is evident, above all. that although some
of their results are still felt, the "hard
tlmes"have practically disappeared. Not
only has the bottom of the ditch been
reached, but we have advanced some
distance on the upward grade. Next,
it is clear that the farmers, the mainstay
of the Northwest, are fairly we'll provid-
ed with money. Indeed. the country
merchants, dependent upon the farmers.
have been paying their debts with great
promptness, and IN many cases have
been able to anticipate payment.
Confidence. that potent goddess
of trade whose restoration has
been 80 long denied, has
again resumed her reign. All that is
now needed is the steady application of
those laws of commercial wisdom with
out which no business community can
succeed. Comparison has been made
with 1892, rather than with last year,
because the former was more of nor
nal year; in fact. to many business
men it was beyond that sometimes
even ''banner'' year. The statement
of most merchants interviewed that
their business is ''almost as good as in
1892" is therefore most reassuring.

FURNITURE AND CARPETS.

j. W. Taylor. Furniture and Carpets,
Retail Manager of the New England
Furniture and Carpet Company-We
find collections easy and our sales are
larger than ever before-fully 30 per
cent above last year. People have
begun buying the higher class of goods,
which is significant. We look for
good, steady season. We are receiving
the patronage of many citizens now who
begin to appreciate that our house is in
no way a Minneapolis concern. but does
all its banking and other transactions
here in st. Paul.
}. NJ. Smith, of Smith and Farwell-
Business is good. There has been a
steady improvement during the last
four months. Trade is little ahead of
what it was in 1892. Carpets, by the
way, will soon be 10 or 10 per cent
cheaper.
j. B. Wefdenborner. of j. B. & l.. A.
eidenborner, Furniture and Carpets
Retail business has been much better
than anticipated, especially since Sept.
l. 1t is now good. and so are collec-
ti0ns. 1t even exceeds the record of two
years ago. Here in ST. Paul certain
goods in our line are 10 or 10 per cent
cheaper than in New York city.
p. j. Kavauagh, of kavanagh S
Johnson. Furniture, Retail-Trade with
us is excellent, about the same as in 1892,
and, of course, better than year ago.
The future is bright.

January next 1S3 individuals and 9l
contribute TO the support of the govern
ment the enormous sum of S9S, 200, in
accordance with the sections of the tariff
bill passed by the last congress estab-
fishing an income tax. This amount
will be considerably increased, for the
reason that the salaries received by
corporation. firm. city, county, state and
United States officials have been omit
ted from this estimate. As there are
hundreds of the officers enumerated
above receiving salaries ranging from
5000 to S5O.0OO, and as there has un-
doubtedly been a great number of un.
avoidable omissions in the approxima-
tions of the GLOBE below, the internal
revenue collector next year will surely
receive S125, 900 from St. Paul as income
tax.
By the provisions of the law the eX-
cess of all earnings over $4,000 are sub,
ject to tax of 2 per cent. Thus. as
suming the net income of capital to be
per cent, a capital of 100000 will be
exempt from taxation. But, while we
have rated many firms at 100000, and
thus do not include them in the esti-
mate of the tax, it is only fair to pre-
sumo that their earnings will be IN
excess of $1,000. because 100000 invest
ed in a successful business surely earns

BOOTS AND SHOES.

A. P. Warren, of Foot, Schulze & Co.
Our business is very good, though not
quite so lively now, as it was thirty or
sixty days ago. Collections are very
good indeed, and better than were eX-
pected, in view of the low price of
wheat. Our record this year will be
about the same as that of two years
ago, and we are constantly encroaching
upon Chicago territory.
George w. Freeman, President of G.
GotZian & Co.-The increase of our Sep.
tember sales over those of last year was
40 per cent. They were. indeed, but
slightly less than in 1892, which was the
biggest year in our history. In ten
years our manufacturing department
has not been so busy. We are working
every nieht, and the demand for our
products Is proof. by the way, that we
can compete with any manufacturer in
other cities. Our expectations for this
fall's trade are much more than real
lied. Collections are splendid, and
have never been better. Many of our
customers are dlscounting their own
bills.
F..J. Schulze. of Foot, Schuize & Co.
Our trade is good. Collections continue
excellent, especially in the country.
The record Of 1872 has not yet been
broken, but the prospects are very
much improved. Let me say that Wis.,
itors to the Chicago fair acknowledge
that we have here better matket, and
many who went East this year have
since returned to buy here.
L. w. French, of Kellogg, Johnson &
Co.-Business is very satisfactory, and
collections very good. We have not,
however, yet done as much as IN 1892.
Charles Treadwell, of Treadwell Shoe
Company-Business is good, not quite
that of '92, but far ahead of last years.
Next spring will show everything on its
usual basis.
F. F. Whitehouse. Managing Partner
Hanan Shoe Company-From the first
day Of July we have more than doubled
our business of year ago, and are now
away ahead of the record for '92. The
prospects are fine. Although we are
one of fifteen stores located in the prin-
cipal cities Of the country, we are SELL
ing goods here right along at lower
prices than they bring in our Eastern
branches, or, in fact, in any of our
branches.
''Our sales have been double in the
last two months" SAID A. II. Schliek, Of
Schliek & Co., compared to what they
were year ago, and they show de-
cided increase over 1892. Collections
are good, especially in the country.
The prospects for the winters trade are
very bright indeed, confidence having
now returned to stay. Our mail orders
from Montana and the Dakotas have in
creased phenomenally. Yes, sir, the
recent improvement In business is alto
gether surprising"
c. F. Lowering, Manager of the Low
ering Shoe .Company-Trade with US is
good. if not yet up to '92's record. l
regard the prospects as excellent.

FURs, GLOVES, HATS, GAPS

Richard Cor don, Of Gordon & Fergu-
son, made the following statement:
Since fall trade began business has
been very satisfactory, and largely ex-
ceeding expectations; SO much so that
demand has continuously exceeded
supply. The demand continues in in
creasing volume, particularly for our
own manufactures-furs and gloves
owing probably to the fact that
even optimists as to the future
of trade did not at the beginning of the
season have sufficient faith in their
opinions to place large early orders. as
is customary in normal years. The
consequence being that although we
made ample preparation as we thought
for a healthy revival of trade,
we underestimated its volume,
and our stock of our own manu-
features has not been as low at this
season for fifteen years. The volume
of trade this fall is in excess of last
year, and closely approximates that of
1872. Collections are good. The settlement
of the tariff lame, inpotent and long
delayed. as it was-released the busi-
ness of the country from nightmare
of uncertainty, and for that reason
gave it an impulse that will carry it
through the current year. Its real sig

THESE HAVE RANK ROLLS.
Some OF Those Who Will Catch IL
Rather Heavily.

The incomes of the St. Paul Street Rail
way company, the electric light company,
the telephone company and the gas
company must amount to large sum,
as will also that of the union depot
company. The various railroad COM
papies will have to toe the mark for
handsome amount, to say nothing of
the many breweries, and the distillery
at South St. Paul will doubtless pay
handsome revenue.
Business depression or activity must
of course have great effect on all these
corporations. and their returns to the
government will, if honestly m tde, be
good criterion OF the times. There are
also various professional men whose
earnings greatly exceed $1,000 year,
who will be required to report their in
comes and to pay accordingly. The
newspaper men will not be numerous,
but there will be few.
William Dawson is the largest owner
of ST. Paul property. He pays taxes
and assessments on property appraised
at 81. 100000. Following closely is AL
eXander Ramsey. whose taxes and as
sessments run away up in the thou
oouuos u. Os 4Alii PSAoOhoi
taxes than any other st. Paulite, his
personal property assessments being on
an appraised value of S150.000.
The Richest Woman In st. Paul.
Mary E. Hale is unquestionably the
richest woman in ST. Paul, and one OF
the largest property owners. Although
she owns vast amount of improved
! and valuable property, that will aggre-
gate nearly sl.O0O.0O0 in worth, she is
also possessed of il great amount of
bank stock and other investments which
pay handsome dividends, and her esti
mated wealth of Sl,500,0 900 assuredly
brings an income of S60.G00 annually.
Excepting the $1,000 which is not tax
able. Mrs. Hale will pay an income tax
of 81, 12O per year. The next richest is
Ada L. Mayall. who is reputed to be
worth SS00.000.
The following nineteen St. Paul
women, with an estimated capital of
| S7.10OO00, earn s2S4.000 annually from
their investments, and. not assessing
the earnings of 100000 of each. will
contribute to the government S4, l6O
