! in the new Fashion Magazines pub
lished by A. Mcdowell & Co. one
secs large variety OF latest styles
which are introduced for the coming
season, In looking over such col.
lection OF beautiful modes comes a
desire to be able to cut and make
them. The Mcdowell schools for dress
cutting are the largest and most
practical 10 the country. In the
finishing schools dress may be cut
and made while learning. The proof
OF the superiority of the schools and
the method Of cutting which they
teach Is found in the fact that the
Mcdowell Drafting Machine is now
acknowledged to be the standard sys
tenn OF dress cutting. 1t offers the
simplest method to learn, the most
rapid TO use, and a perfect fit for all
forms. This machine has received
the two highest rewards at the
Worlds Columbian Exposition as the
most perfect in existence.

A SIX DOLLAR WIFE.
A Chattanooga Husband Sells His
Spouse For That Amount.


There is a very romantic story that
comes from Summeryille, Chattoogs
county, Ga, and which is told by the
Atlanta Constitution as followe:
"a few days ago couple, evidently
enjoying honeymoon, arrived here,
and registered as @. E. Thurston and
vile, Knoxville, Tenn. They appeared to
enjoy themselves amazingly and ali
was serene and lovely.
"Late one afternoon a weary looking
individual alighted from a train from
Chattanooga and walked hurriedly up
to the hotel. He scanned the faces OF
those he passed very closely, as If he
were looking for some one whom he
expected to find
From few inquiries that he made
people learned that he was in search
OF a wife and that he had not reeorted
to the usual method OF putting a no
tice in the strayed or stolen column,
but had strayed out on q personal
search.
"Mr. and Mrs. Thurston had been
out for customary stroll and just as
they rounded a corner, they were con-
fronted with the stranger in search OF
a wife.
"He had found the wife, but unior
tunately she was in the hands OF her
friend. Expectation was on tiptoe fol
a blood and thunder denouement, and
from various coigns OF vantage in the
shape Of dry goods boxes and syca
more trees, behind which they haC
ensconced themselves, the towr
people peered anxiously, awaiting fol-
the signal for open hostilities.
"But they waited in vain. Those
nearest caught the fragments Of &
spirited conversation in which the
husband reproached his recreant
spouse with her faithlessness in de
serting his bed and board.
"She retorted that he had not treat
ed her nice and that she had found a
handsomer man than he, which was,
indeed, the Gods truth when the two
men were compared.
"Mr. Thurston then began to parley
with the rueful husband and tried to
effect a compromise. The husband
demanded $40 dlmsge, which he
thought was too high considering that
he had already Won tho affections OF
tie wife and was in possession, which
was nine points in the law. He offer

latter took the next train for Chatta.

"The couple also took their depart

while some OF the Summerville boys
were indignant at the idea OF thoseEast
Tennessee folks raising the price OF q

NAVAL STORES.

Spirits Turpentine-The tone of the
market for the past week was very firm
with prices hardening, and at the close to-
day was &c higher than at the close last
Friday night All of the available offer
ings were freely taken at the current
prices, and those factors who held their
stocks for a day or two received the bene-
fit Of the advance. The receipts sold at
254c up to Tuesday, when some sales
were reported at 25ssc. On Wednesday, the
closing quotations were 253sc, with a de-
mand for the entire offerings. Thursday,
the receipts were readily disposed of at
-ji2c, the highest price paid since the
middle of last July. AT the close to-day it
remained firm with a good demand for
the offerings at the current price.
Rosin-There was a disposition during
the week to depreSs the price of pale and
medium grades, and buyers sought to pur
chase the lower grades leaving the others
on the factors tables. They succeeded to
some extent and those who have them
can only look for a raid at lower prices
when the exporters are ready to take
them. On Saturday there was an advance
of sc on the lower grades. Later in the
week the weakness in pales began to show
by small lots being turned loose at from
9 to Ice below the quotations of the early
part of the week. on Tuesday a loss of 1Oc
on water white. and Sc each on NJ and n
grades was sustained, followed by fur
Their declines on Thursday, of l0c on n, and
Sc on G, Fl, i and x grades. The market
to-day closed with further losses on the
medium and pale grades, with a good de-
mand at the decline.
Quotations-At the close of the market
last night the following quotations were
buletined at the Board of Trade: Spirits
