NEW YORK;. G. Dun & Co s weekly re-

miners has ended at most points. but another

roads which use Pullman cars. On the whole,
other changes during the week have been for
the better. Many manufacturing establish
ments which were stopped by want OF fuel nave
resumed. The depetion of the treasury re-
serve has been checked by the voluntary de-
posits of gold by the New York banks. Exports
of gold have almost ceased. Congress has made
much progress toward final disposition OF the
tariff question. Crop prospects grow better as
the harvest draws nearer The resumption OF
work in mines and mills has made good pro-
smaller and less urgent than was expected.
Buyers apparently wait for lower prices OF
iron and steel products, which manufacturers
are slow to give in view OF the increased cost
OF materials and production. After a suspen-
sion of half the working force for more than "a
month IL was expected that orders for products
would be very large but instead there Is gem

The textile manufacturers are much embar-
raised by the near approach OF probable

deferring orders and purchases. the number OF
mills quitting work Is not yet as large as was
expected for there appears a little more de-

A NEW PRESIDENT.
VI. Casimir- Perier Chosen as Successor TO
the Late III. Carnot as President.


Versailles: NJ Casimir-Perier has
been elected president OF the French
republic, in succession TO the late NJ.
Garnot. The election was by the SEN
ate and chamber of deputies sitting as
the national assembly in the great hall
of the historic palace of Versailles.
The hall was filled with spectators. NJ.
Challemel-Lacour presided, by virtue
of his position as president OF the sen
ate. After a sympathetic reference To
the late President Carnot, he read the
article of the constitution relative TO
the election of Il president, and then
declared the national assembly opened.
The voting was more close than had
been anticipated. The assembly con-
sists of about SS4 members. The fol-
lowing is the complete result of the
poll: NJ. CasimirPeri 45l; VI. Bris-
son, 10l; NJ. Dupuy, %: Gen. Fevrier,
SO; NJ. Arago, 81; scattering, 81; total,
s53. NJ. Casimir-Perier was not present
during the proceedings. Much con-
fusion prevailed throughout the ses-
sion.
In officially notifying NJ. Casimir-
Perier of his election TO the presidency,
NJ. Challemel-Lacour delivered an elo-
quent Grafton. A little later four
horse landau drove into the courtyard.
NJ. Casimir-Perier entered the vehicle
and started for Paris escorted by de-
tachment of dragons with lances
from which bright-colored pennons
were flying. The new president re-
ceived an immense ovation from the
dense crowds of people who lined the
route from Versailles to Paris.
The ministers, shortly after the
presidents arrival, formally rendered
their designations to him. Casimir-
Perier requested them TO remain in
Office. 1t is doubtful, however, whether
Dupuy, the prime minister, will retain
office. 1t is expected in the event Of
his insisting upon his resignation be-
ing accepted that the president will
summon Bordcau to form cabinet.
This will enable Dupuy To hold his old
position Of president of the chamber Of
deputies.

Royalty on Tricyc1es.

An apparently authorized announce
ment that the Princess of Wales and her
daughters have taken to riding tricycles
is expected to give tremendous boom
to the manufacture of that class OF cy-
cling machine, which has been i'll state
of decline for several years. Polite So
ciety has always protested to regard cy-
cling with scorn as an essentially vulgar
and plebeian form of exercise and amuse-
ment. The princess having now set the
fashion, fashionable DANES and their
middle class imitators are bound to fol-
low it, Much qualification is expressed
that the princess did not take to the BIZ
cycle and rational dress, " the use and
abuse of which have brought great
deal of undeserved ridicule upon his
form of healthy recreation, to the bene-
fit solely of the artists and writer's for
the comic papers. 1t is said that the
Princess of Wales commenced tricycllng
by the advice of her doctors.-London

Strange Coincidence.

Let me tell you something which
happened to me the other day. don't
know whether you will class it as an
example Of thought transference or
simply as singular coincidence. There
was Fred Grimsey. Fred and were
close friends five or six years ago, and
then he went south, and I lost sight of
him entirely. Not even letter passed
between us. The other day, all of sud-
den, as 1 was walking along the street,

of him for months, possibly not for a
year, but he popped into my mind on
this occasion. AS nearly as could re-

English passenger Coaches.

The standard English passenger car.
riage is considerably shorter than our
car, has three axles, no end platforms
and is entered by side doors. The first
class car contains four compartments,
each with six places, three with backs
to the engine and three facing. The
seats are separated by broad and comfort
able arm rests, and there are arm rests
on the sides of the carriage also. These
rests are low enough, broad enough and
soft enough to be comfortable The
compartment is about feet square in
side, giving ample room for the six
seats, which are deep, wide, padded TO
the height of the head and upholstered
better than anything that I know OF IN
America.
There are ample racks for hand lug
gage, rug on the floor and one lamp
in the roof. The second and third class
carriages have five compartments, max
ing the seats less deep, fore and aft, and
giving less room for the knees than IN
the first class. The second class compart-
ments seat eight persons, and the bench
across the car is divided by but one arm
rest, so that if the places are all full You
and one neighbor are separated by only
an imaginary line.
The third class compartment seats ten
persons, and the benches are not divld'
ed at all, the five persons on side be-
ing in pretty close contact. These are
not nearly as we'll upholstered as the
first class, but are good enough in that
respect. These are the standards, but
there are many exceptions. For short
distance traffic, for example, it Is quite
| common to seat eight in a first GLASS
compartment and to seat ten in sec.
ond class compartment. q. PSout

USE DANA'S SARSAPARILLA, IT'S
1.-THE KIND THAT CURES"

When it becomes necessary to feed cat
tie from the barn the question always
arises as to how much stock it will be well
to attempt to keep through the winter.
Some farmers, says Orange Judd Farmer,
are always anxious to keep all the stock
they can. Others, who do not like to
care for domestic animals. are glad of any
reasonable excuse for diminishing the
number. The quantity and quality of the
stock now on hand must be taken into the
account. The farmer who already has a
large number of fine animals may find it
for his interest to keep more stock than it
would be wise to do it he only had an in
adequate nun Der and would be obliged to
purchase Others. He can better afford to
buy some extra food upon which to keep
what stock he has than he could afford to
purchase more animals The man who
has first class stock had better keep it ii
he can, unless he is going out of the stock
business altogether, for, if he sells, it may
be very difficult and expensive to replace
it. Another thing to be noted is the
matter of price. If more animals can be
kept. and they can be obtained for a mod
crate price. it may pay to obtained them
when it would be profitable to purchase
them at high price. 1t may also be pro,
ftable under certain circumstances to sell
some OF the stock already on hand when,
if the conditions were different it would
not be wise to do so 1t is sometimes
the case that animals are worth more to
some one else than they are to their pre-
sent owner
