Manufacturing Industries Not Improving
as Much as Expected.
NEW YORK, Jan. s.-R. G.. Dun d.
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says:
1t is questionable whether the work
ing force in the great industries has in
creased as yet, though about the first of
the year considerable increase is ex-
pected. The number of mills starting
and stopping work is about the same.
Sales of wool for the week amount to
only 2 ,494, 800 pounds against Ass, 300
for the corresponding week last year,
and since May / the decrease has been
49.6 per cent. Prices are somewhat
weaker and few works report satisfac-
tory orders. Prices of cotton goods are
further reduced
To Encourage Purchasers
Most Of the shoe shops are moderately
employed, and the decrease in shipments
for the week is IL per cent, against 20
per cent for the last seven months of
1898. Still lower prices are recorded In
iron and steel, both at Philadelphia and
Pittsburg, without increase in the vol
ume of business. 1t is believed that the
output of pig iron, though 40 per cent
less than q year ago, exceeds the present
consumption.
For the past week failures reported
has been 511 in the United States, against
1923 last year, and Al in Canada, against
II last year.

From that time he suffered his daugh-
ter to pursue her studies open y,
though the aid and direction which she
received from him were very little. An
drea Sarani seemed displeased that
young girl should gain intulhvely
what 1t had taken him long years to
acquire He did not see the difference
between natural genius and powers
which were almost entirely the result
of cultivation
Elisa BETA Sirani-and we are not
desert bing an ideal character, but one
who really existed, whose name is still
honored among the Bolognese school
Elisa BETA Sirani, as her childhood
passed away, devoted herself more and
more to her beloved art She per-
ceived that her father felt an ill-con =
ceaied aversion to seeing her at her
easel, and, besides, he had been so ac-
customed to her assistance in the minor
duties of the studio that he could not
bear to see her occupied in any thing
but attending upon him. Therefore she
rose by the dawn of day, and painted
and studied with unwearied persever-
ance until the hour when he required
her presence in the studio Then she
patiently relinquished the occupation
which she loved so we'll, and turned
her attention to her father to the do
mestic concerns of the house, or to t b

the doomed Elisa beta. 1t was little
dreaded by those who best loved her;
but she herself felt an utter langour--
strange overpowering sensation,
which gave her a foresho wing of the
coming death When Ginevra, whom
her summons had brought, stood be-
side her, Elisabetta spoke to her early
friend with an affectionate serious
ness, beyond her won't of the beloved
art they both followed-of Ginevrs's 5
future life-of her lover.

spairlng grief came over Ginevra' face.

loved thee, Ginevra, and thy Battista,
too; and, IL l recover---''
Thou wilt die; thou art diving now"

whisper Thou hast been nv bane

A Curious Leaan.

A Biddeford (Me.) attorney had in
his possession lease the like of which
local lawyers do Enot believe can be
found in existence. The names of the
parties to the lease, according to the
Kennebec Journal, are given, but its
provisions are none the less strange.
The lease is of lot of land at an an
nual rental of $40 for twenty-five
years, with the provision that the
lessee should within one year build
and maintain n substantial three-story
building of brick, iron and stone.
When the lease expired the lessee was
to have his choice between buying the
building he had himself erected or of
taking perpetual lease of the lot at
$3.50 a year, just double the original
rent The lease expired year or SO
ago, and the lessee, to whom it was q
case of 'Hobson's choice" elected to
take the perpetual lease of the lot.
What puzzles the attorneys who have
seen the lease is why q man of the
property which the lessee must have
been possessed should bind himself to
such one-sided condition. The gen.
tleman who has the lease intends to
present it to the Bar Library associa-
ton.

timidly asked Elisabe tia at last hold
ing up the design of the picture, which
was afterwards the pride of the mon
astery OF Certosa, and the work on
which the fame of Elisa BETA Sirani
chiefly rests
Ere the father and Conte Malvasia
could find words for their delight
Ginevra Cantofoli entered There was
heavy sadness over her mouth and a
wild look in her eyes, which spoke of
some inward trouble. Elisa BETA, in
her unconscious delight threw her
arms around her friends neck and
told her of her happiness; but Ginevra
recolled as from the touch of serpent.
Then it is you who have taken
from me my hearts desireP" she said

But Ginevra did not forget it, and

From the city of Parma, where he
had been completing his studies In
art, came Battista Zani, once the pupil
of Sirani, and now tho betrothed OF Gin
evra Cantofoli Young, enthusiastic,
rich in all tn at could win maiden's love
no wonder was 1t that Battista was al
most idoliEed by the girl he had chosen
to be his wife one day And when,
like all who came within the circle of
her presence, he yielded to the magic
influence of Elisa BETA Sirani and felt
and expressed toward her a regard and
reverence almost approaching worship,
Ginevra's very heart was rent asunder
with jealouay. Sometimes in his
simplicity and utter unconsciousness
of evil, Battista talked to his betrothed
of Elisabetta, OF her saint-l like beauty
upon which he delighted to look
with that admiration of all things
pure and lovely which was so deep in his
artist soul-of her unworldliness, her
| genius, and.all this was to Ginevra the
most exquisite torture Then, too, in
the frank admiration and friendly inter
est which Elisabe showed toward the

vra saw nothing but the preference of
love- for she could not imagine the pos
sibility of any maiden's beholding her
own Battista without loving him. And
truly with many this suspicion would
not have been far wrong; bu. it was
not so with Elisa BETA Sirani
After time spent in, his native Bo-
logna, the artist determined to go to
Rome.
Would that l. too, were going to

could leave all these, good Battista,
even to go to Romeo"
Then l will think of thee, always,

BE it so, kind Battista," smilingly
answered Elisa BETA, as she gave him
her hand, which he kissed with rever-
ence and departed with Ginevra

Dost thou not think so, Ginevra mia?"
Yes" answered Ginevra in low
and changed voice, while horrible
determination made her hands clench
and her eyes flashed fire. But Battista
saw it not: he was wholly bsor bed in
those delicious dreams of coming
glory, which too often fade like a
morning cloud.

A reduction Of duties to about the
rates that prevailed about ten years
ago is called by the New York 1ri-
b1eae "giving the American market
away to all comers." This is far from
fattering estimate of the produc-
tive and manufacturing ability of a
people whose just boast it is that
they can "beat all creation, and who
do not need to be coddled to death
to do it. The false economists who
claim to be more american" than
anybody else put forth habitually the
lowest opinion of their countrymen.

rested on her white throat with the
stiff and tight-fltting dress of the day
could scarcely hide. The expression of
her eyes and mouth was as sweet as
ever, and as she sang, her whole face
was lighted up with irresistible beauty.
Look at her." whispered the proud
father to Malvasia; tell me, is not my
Elisabetta the fairest maiden, as we'll
as the greatest painter in all Bo-
logna?'
The good old ecclesiastic smiled and
assented. "She looks as happy as if
she had a presentiment of the good
news l bring" he answered.
"a bout the holy fathers of Certosa?"
eagerly asked Sirani. What! have
they determined-and for Elisa be tta?'
YES, laconically said the conte.
ELISA abetta-Elisab bettina mia, cried
the delighted Andrea. who had long
since forgotten his jealousy in fatherly
love and pride, ''you are successful;
the good padri of Certosa have chosen
you to paint their altarpiece!"
Elisa BETA darted forward with un-
constrained delight. She kissed the
hands of Malvasia, and thanked him
over and over again.
But, my dear child" said the be-
nevolent conte, you are only at the
commencement of the journey, and you
seem as joyful us if the goal were at
tanned. Do you know what Is the
chosen subject of the picture? A grand
and difficult one-the Baptism of our
Lord Have you any idea OF the manner
in which you will treatit, Elisa betta?"
II will show you, Signor Conte."
She took sheet of paper laid it on her
knee, and with brush dipped in In
dia ink, began to dash in the first
sketch of her composition with won
derful rapidity and power.
