Providence, r. I.-Manufacturers

Boston There is a quiet tone in

Philadelphia.-Wool active, and

Kansas, Mo.-Trade from fair to
middling. No particular booms as yet
in business.
st. Louis.-Volume of business in
all lines continues to increase, and a
more hopeful feeling prevails.
Chicago. Trade has already made
fair gains in a quiet substantial way.
The drought in the west has made
retailers slow in buying goods, and

Omaha, Neb.-Jobbing now suffer.

western crops. All goods selling at

Charleston. Business fair among

New Orleans.-Money quiet, with
slight increase in demand for ac-

expectations for the season. Rice

Jacksonville, Fla.-General bust

San Francisco.-Improvement is

"Times are looking up and mer-

says the Mercantile Times.
The new tariff is not expected to
make much change in prices for fall

1t will affect prices next spring. Cotton
goods will not be affected at all, as
this country is manufacturing largely
its own material.

A BURGLAR CAPTURED.

A burglar, who gave his name a.
John Comprotski, was captured Mon
day morning in novel manner. Mr.

night when Mrs. Politsney was awaken.
ed by noise at the window. Looking
over the footboard of the bed she saw
a man climbing in. She quietly awak-
ened her husband, who sprang out OF
bed and grasped the burglar by the
neck when he was about half through
the window. He choked him into SUBJ
mission and then called policeman.
The fellow was locked up and after
a short hearing the Mayor sent him to
Jail. Po,itsney's house was burglar.
lied short time ago and 500 stolen.
The crime of burglary being one
contemplating murder, if need be to
escape, should, we think, be punished
in such way that the culprit would
never have the second chance to enter
room by stealth.

Steam Versus Lightning,

1t is said that a locomotive will
stand fifteen years service and earn
about 100000. When electric road:
have all the privileges that are now
granted to steam railroads, loco
motives will last longer and earn less.
But the electric roads will have those
to fight who believe IN high protection
for steam before they can ever hope
to pocket any part of the 100000
that each locomotive now earns. Rich
and selfish railroaders who have gone
to our State Legislatures and secured
high protection for steam power are
not going to surrender to little trolleys
until they have to, don't you see ?
Still we have no doubt that steam
railroad stock will be cheaper in the
near future than it has been in the
far past, because of the audacity and
pertinacity of lightning now utilized,
and which seems to have come from
the heavens for our common good
and relief from extortionate steam
charges. If high dividends are in con-
sequence lowered the electric roads
will pocket the difference. Let light
ming have chance, too, we say, in the
leveling process and popular struggle
for freer trade. When the elements of
heaven come to the rescue of the
masses it is time to rejoice. To equal
the occasion the people have only TO
send lightning representatives to the
legislatures who are imbued with
enough honesty to not sell out TO
steam power. Can it be done That's
the only question in the way of the
success of lightning.

Rainmaking.

This has been a very propiti Gus
season for ehe scientific rainmaker and
yet the drought prevails Out in Kan
sas it has been very dry also. Here
Rainmaker Mathews undertook to
moisten things by bombarding the
heavens for rain. He wanted $500
for doing just once what the Almighty
has been doing for Kansas for moth
ing for thousands of years. His pro-
position was accepted and his bombs
exploded and the rain came not but
on the other hand the drought contin-
ues to prevail in Kansas, where the
lands are parched and the corn
withered. Mr. Mathews claims with
some show of truth that the conditions
were unfavorable for moisture but
we thirk he lies when he says that his
"rain all turned to ice in the clouds" Z"
If the latter assertion be true Of course
when the ice melts the rain will fall in
Kansas--that is if his ice clouds are
stationary, and we hope they are.

Against a Physician.

on Feb. 7, 1890, and had foot SO
lacerated that amputation became
necessary. The defendant, assisted by
DR.. J. {. Carpenter, of Pottsville,
performed the amputation. The
plaintiff alleges that this was done with
carelessneSs and lack of skill, that the
arteries remained exposed and the
bone was not given sufficient covering
OF flesh, and the exposure of the bone
makes the amputated parts so sensitive
that it is impossible for him to wear a
cork leg or other artificial limb, and
that after-treatment was so careless as
to result in constitutional ill health,
and that the present condition of the
leg is such that reamputation becomes
necessary. He has retained as counsel

Heather Meat.

The kind of dogs that Chinese eat
are species that never bark, and,
like our high-bred Jersey cattle, they
have bluish-black tongue. 1t is said
that they eat over four millions OF
these edible dogs annually. AS for a
higher class of meat than dog meat,
that is generally reserved for the
higher class OF people in heathendom.
Evidently Christian customs are a
consummation devout'y to be sought
through peace if possible, but through
war if need be.

them from obstructing the public

We hope, now we'll nigh exhausted.
If not, it is high time that equal rights
