BUSINESS STANDS FIRM.
Trade Unshaken Tn spite of Strikes, Mob

Trade u Onshaken Tn spite or strikes, MODS
 and Tarin Uncertainties.
 NEW YORK, July I4.-R- G. Dun & Co. $ weekly review of the trade, issued today, says: When circumstances arc du- iy weighed, the strength and sOundness of business in this country during the past two weeks are amazing.
 With the second city in the country in the hands of a lawless and murderous noh, besides many other cities and towns. with railway traffic entirely stopped over ths vast ara between Toledo and the Pa rihc, with presidential proclamstions de- rlarny tine existence of an insurreetion and the passionate answer ordering half n million men to stop work, with pro longed strike of coal miners not fully end cd in many states and with differences between the house and senate on the tar if question so wide that duties affecting mining and manufactures cannot be an- ticipated. industries and trade have never theless gone on with sublime confidence that the people and their government would soon restore order.
 The shrinkage of business and tho de- preston of values have been unexpectedly small, the failures relatively few and un- important and thers are even signs in some industries of actual progress toward recovery from previous troubles.
 It is q good foundation for hope thnt firm and wise action by tho government has been upheld by the loyal people; that order has been generally restored and the blockade of transportation has nearly ceased, md that the wage earners have in the main refused to arrest industries al the dictation of leaders"

DECORATING A PIAZZA.
Objects Suited to Its Interior Adornmen
 and the Comfort of Its Occupants

ohjects suited to Its Interior Adjournment
 and the Comfort of Its Occupants
 Can anything be imagined moro de- hghtful than the calm repose of shady piazza on a hot summer day? To enjoy such rcpose to the full one must be sur rounded by comforts that appeal to the senses ill addition to those that minis ter to the body, in the shape of restful seats, seductive cushions, handy tables and refreshing shade As in our coun- try cottages we make the piazza our habitation, the least We can do is to di- rect our attention to its decoration. It is. moreover, encouraging to note how little outlay is needed to produce charm ing and artistic results. provided we can exercise some ingenuity and are not afraid of little trouble.
 All kinds of comfortable basket or wicker chairs are acceptable. One or two suitable for reclining, known com monly as steamer chairs, form a wei come addition. Tine chairs should be furnished with cushions made of suita- ble material Any kind of cotton or linen goods slightly embroidered or tint ed and outlined are pretty. A novelty for the piazza is small screen with two or three shelves to keep off the draft on q breezy day. The shelves serve for books, needlework or writing materials. Wicker tables are the handiest things imaginable on a piazza for light refresh ments. Sometimes these tables are made of wood covered with mating fitted into bamboo frames. These are inexpen- tive and can be met with at Japanese stores. Should space permit, few large palms standing about in ornamental pots or painted tubs break the monoto- ny of straight wall Standing rustic baskets filled with ferns answer the same purpose. Baskets planted with trailing plants suspended at intervals are also always a thing of beauty if properly tended A couple of tall, straight, gayly cOlurcd jars placed Oi. either side of the entrance to the house, for holding parasols or umbrellas not at the moment in active service, are both useful and decorative. Two or three bright rugs of different sizes dc not come amiss. \ hammock must like wise not be forgotten.
 Some means of lighting the piazza al night should be taken into considera tiOn. For this purpose a few Chimes lanterns suspended on hooks give q sOft light A tall standing lamp of bcn iron work is appropriate and can b moved at pleasure If lamp is huns in the entrance, it should bc of cOlorc, glass, to subiue the light, says The Ar Interchange.

BIoodshed In Sacramento.

SACRAMENTO, July 14.-As 0 result of the deeds of one of the most exciting days in the history of the strike two men lie wounded in the receiving hospital, while several others are reported dead or njured.
 A switch engine was proceeding along Front street to clear the track. compa- ny of regulars. under command of Captain Roberts of Battery L. Fifth United States artillery, accompanied the engine. As they reached street, it Is claimed, n gang of strikers fired on the troops The sol diers returned the fire and several men werc seen to fall Two of them wera pick cd up by tho police and removed to the receiving hospital. Their names arc John Stuart and Frank Buckley.
 The former was a marine of the United States steamship Alliance, and he was at tracted to the scene of the conflict by a large crowd. He was shot through the body and is dying Buckley lives in Butte county and was hero on a visit
 He was shot through the right shoulder. Both men deny that they are in any way connected with the strikers. Stuart has made an antcmortem statement. in which hc declares he was shot down because he refused to halt when ordered to do so by the regulars.
 The shooting was heard at the depot, and Colonel Graham. who Is in command, ordered the First United States marine corps, under command of Captain Berry man, and the Third United States marine corps, under Lieutenant Draper to start from the depot with fixed bayonets. They divided into charging squads and extend cd the dead line to Second strec1 Shortly afterward Troop L Fourth United States cavalry. made 6 flying dash down Second street to and thence to Front, sweeping everything bcforc them. United States Marshal Baldwin was in the lead and proclaimed martial law. He called upon the people in the name of the
 United States to go to their homes and re- | main there until tho trouble is over. X few obcyed. but the majority remained on the streets in defiance of the naarshnl's $ orIler.
 Later in the afternoon the streets were | comparatively deserted, and few strikers wcrc to be seen.
 The railroad company succeeded in get | ting a train to Rocklin, its destination | being Ogden, by way of Truckee. The
 train was accompanied by two companies of regulars. Later another train left fol the east. It consisted of two coaches. two
 fiat cars and several fruit ears. Two gat ling guns were placed on tho flat cars tc be used If occasion demanded. The rail l road officials fear moro trouble will occui at Truckcc.

WHEN circumstances are. duly weighed, says Du1's Review, the strength and sOundness of business in this country dur ing the past two weeks are amazing. With the second city in the country in the hands of d lawless and nurderous mob, be<ides many other cities and towns. with railroad traffic almost entirely stopped over the vast area between Toledo and the Pacific. with presidential proclamations declaring the existence of an insurrection. and the pas sionate answer ordering half a million men to stop work. with A prolonged strike states, and with differences between the house and senate on the tariff question so wide that duties affecting mining and manufactures cannot be anticipated, in dustries and trade have nevertheless gone on with sublime confidence that the peo- pie and th'ir government would soon re- store order. The shrinkage of business and the depression of values have been un- expectedly small. the failures relatively few and unImportant. and there are even toward recovery from previous troubles.

THE CHICAGO GIRLS EMANCIPATION.
 honal bicycling costumc-thc typo worn by the New York girls not in the least mannish or immodcst. The trousers arc very full and reach to the kncc, whcrr they arc drawn in by elastic, and wherr tho fullncss falls downward, conccaling at least six inches of tho limb below. The baggy character of the trousers also causes them to fold together much like divided skirts, so that when the bloomcr girl is on her wheel only q close observer can tell whether sh0 belongs to the enamel patcd or the uncmancipatcd ranks of womnnkiud. Below the kncc the ankle is concealed by i2 button leggings of the same colCU as tho jacket and hlonmcrs The jnckct is of tho all skeleton variety, with rcyers, and may bc a Norfolk, an Eton. n figaro or any kind the fair wear CT desires. For slender women light goods arc particularly becoming. while the wheel woman who is inclined to bc plump to ex- aggeration prefers blue or other dark col ors that will tone down her embonpoint.

When 1t was flnishcd, she looked so well in 1t and was so oycrjoycd by her enamel patton from troublesome skirts that she rodo Is miles at a strctch and took on half a dozen moro pounds of ayoirdupois-
 The tailor mado costumes range In price from $I2 to si0, and the only truly man nish things about them arc the cunning little pockets. It Is said that a woman who wears skirts was never known to be able to find her pocket whom her skirt was on, but the pockets In the hloomer girls trousers are always easy of access and full of chewing gum.
 One very sensible feature of the ideal bloomcr costume is the detachable skirt that goes with it, and that can Dc donncd fin a second after the fair rider dismounts Thus equipped, tho bloomer girl becomes conventionally dressed the instant she leaves her wheel. and she may walk up and down tho street before all men per fectly at her ease and as inconspicuous as any other skirted but bloomorlcss woman in sight Tho detachable skirt is very light and may be rolled up in a tiny bundle and carried on the wheel

lower and less speedy loop framed bicycles The bicycles for men arc so much higher that n skirtcd woman cannot easily mount them, but the bioomer girl has no diff culty whatever in reaching the moro lofty seat, and her costume leaves her so frce and untrammclrd that the wheel no lon ger needs the unsightly dress guard.
 Although the bloomer costume and the divided skirt seem to closely resemble one another, the latter is a failure on the wheel, l am told It Is so much fuller than the bloomcrs that it draws up and collects in a unSightly wad at the seat of the wheel when the rider mounts
 Thcrc arc n Frcat many blOOmcrizcd young women in Chicago, and they wear costumes ranging from full, haggy trOu- scrs that almost touch the feet To very tight mems knickcrbockcrs that fit as though the fair riders had been melted down and run into them by means of n funnel. One pretty Chicago woman, Mrs. J. l.. McWil- liams, whose pictur, from The Bearings is rcproduccd hCrr, believes that woman should cmancipatc with Q capital L when she goes into the emancipation business In her first bp,akaway from conventional ity, which occurred one dark night when a punCturc had made her own whCecl use less, she dunncd her husbands knickcr- bockcrs. apprupriatcSl his bicycle and took a spin through the night shroutrtl strccts- Her first taste of emancipation proved sO sweet that she tried again, and at prcscnt her husband could easily mistake her knickcrbockers for his own
 This form of costume, however. is rath CT extreme and hardly meets the approval of tho majority of blOOmcr girls. Tho samo statement may also apply to the knickerbockcrs worn by Mrs. Nota Jean BoarSlman, the pioneer bloomcrized young woman of New York. She began riding in rather tight knickcrbockcrs about q year ago and was at first followed by crowds. Today she attracts very little at tcntion, but her costume is almost toC | conspicuous to be adpOtcd by many wOm | en. Mrs. Boardman at first rode her whce

Ck[IF0RNIA'S CRISIS.
Another Fatal Affray Tn Sacra-
 mento's Streets.
REGULAR TROOPS FIRED ON A MOB.

Several Were Killed and swounded, and
 More Trouble Is Anticipated-.The Capi-
 tal Under Martial Law-Nine Lives Have
 Been Sacrificed Since the Strike Began.
 SAN FRANCISCO, July 14.-Sixteen days have intervened since the general strike was inaugurated on the Southern Pacific system. At least seven and probably nine human lives have already been sacrificed in the desperate struggle that is on be- tween the railway company and the fed eral government on one side and the A. R. U. on the other.
 The commercial loss has been enormous A seasons fruit crop, to the value of hum dreds of thousands of dollars, is perishing in the orchards. There is every indica- ton that more men are to be slaughtered in this industrial war; that the fruit growers arc to see more of their crop spoil on their hands, and that the embargo on commerce is to be indefinitely continued. It Is now three days since the federal troops went into the field in northern Cal ifornia, but the end is not yet in sight.
 In Sacramento the defiance became so bold that the capital city is under actual martial law. United States Marshal Bald win has ordered the people to their homes and bade them remain there until the trouDle Is over.
 Press Censorship.
 The adoption of these extreme measures was provoked by the outbreak that occur red in Sacramento details of which are given below. Only meager details of the situation arc to be had here, as a press censorship Is in effect. Your correspond ent Is suffered to pass the military pick cts, but it Is conditioned that he shall send out no information relative to the move ment of trains Neither is he permitted to give names of trainmen. It Is the de- sire of Colonel Graham and the railroad officials to withhold this information from the strikers
 1t Is known, however, that no trains are running out of Sacramento save two that were dispatched for the east in the morn ing. Another train, bearing 25o troops from Fort Douglass, Is west bound. At Oakland the yards are under the protection of l. 900 marines. state militia men and deputies The force has been | sufficient to overawe the strikers. and there was no further violence
 In San Francisco the event of the day was the impaneling of special United States grand jury by Judge Morrow to in vestigatc the prevailing disorders
