clined 1%c from the close yesterday.
Yesterdays weakness brought free liqui-
dation today and cables were decidedly
lower. The fear of impending deliveries
In the northwest was also depressing
influence. and with the absence of local
or outside speculation had a heavy de-
pressing influence. The expectation of
goli shipments was also bear factor
and was largely responsible for the de.
cline. The deliveries in the northwest
were not SO large as yesterday and the
grading continues poor. The local re-

last week were 1.600. 600 bushels below
the estimated weekly requirements. The
market had very weak turn during the

A Miraculous Escanc.

Mrs. Andrew Specs, n Hungarian wom- an residing near tho Washington breaker at Plymouth, almost miraculously escaped a horrible death Thursday afternoon Sho was picking up coal along tho Delaware, Lackawanna and Western railroad when an engine caiGo along with n train of coal cars. The conductor shouted to the wom- an, but she was either hard of hearing or paid no attention to him and made no at tempt to get out of the way The train struck her and knocked her into the mid de of the track. She was dragged dis tance of 30 feet, and five coal cars passed over her. The train was stopped, and the brakemen hurried to the woman, expect Ing to find her cut to pieces. They wore greatly surprised to find her alive, none of the wheels having touched her. She was, however, badly bruised and sustained two ugly wounds on tho head. Dr. Whitney, who attended her, says she will recover Tho woman is stout, and how she escaped being crushed to death is mystery Wilkesbarre Record.

Their Sense of Honor.

A signal evidence of tho high sense of honor felt by tho young men and young women of the south as to fair examina- tions is shown by tho hissing of the govern or of Georgia by tho girls of tho Milledge- villc (Ga.) Normal school Tho governor and the trustees had granted diploma to a young woman who had cheated at an examination and had accordingly been ruled out by the faculty Influence was brought to bear on tic governor and trus- tees, and they oYerrodo the decision of tho faculty. This so outraged the scnso of honor of the young women that the entire senior class who had graduated under hon. orable conditions refused to take their di- plomas from the complaisant trustees, and when the governor passed out of the col lego ho was roundly hissed by tho excited students Tho dispute is not likely to rest here, as efforts will be made to prevent by law any political interference in the schools and any granting of diplomas cx- cept according to merit and faculty rul. ings.-Philadelphia Press.

WAGES THE WORLD OVER.
Enormous Variations From State to State
 and Country to Country


 It is popularly supposed that the immu- tahlo law of supply and demand operating throughouta a country makes the wages for the same lal or uniform in every part of it, as q dcarth of labor in any one place cannot be of long duration while men arc employed elsewhere A recent supplement tary bulletin of the manufactures of tho United States, however, shows this gcner- al view to be false.
 In Colorado the average yearly earnings of an employee of manufacturing com pany was S720, in Montana, S722, in Ne yada, $71S, and in Wyoming, s76S In tho states whcro colorcd labor is abundant the total average earnings arc much loss. In Alabama the average is S376 in Missis sippi S3l0, in North Carolina S2l6, in Georgia S307 and in South Carolina $267 In New York the average is S55o, in Pennsylvania s492, in Ohio s479 and in Massachusetts S494. When it is considered to what extent the female and child labor enters into the factory operations in New York, the figures arc surprisingly high The total wages paid in New York manu- featuring enterprises amount in ordinary years to $500, 600, GOO.
 England stands at tho head in Europe as tho best market for labor. Scotland and France arc little behind her Then there is heavy drop until Austria, the Ncthcr- lands and Belgium arc reached. Tho scale goes still lower in Germany, where tho rate is the same as in Ireland. Spain, Sweden, Russia and Italy follow hero in the order given. According to the table of Bodio an. Italian authority, glassblowers are the best paid mechanics in Italy and paper makers the poorest The rate of wages in Italy, low as it is now, was still lower 25 years ago. In England the in- crease in the rate of wages has been about 20 per cent in 25 years. A French brick layer now gets 50 per cent more wages than were paid for his work in France 40 years ago.-New York Sun.

Automatic Restaurant.

Europe's first automatic restaurant has been open for week and appears to be an immense success. At the Italian cxhibi- tion in Berlin this peculiar mechanical eating house attracts large crowds. Its aspect is certainly curious A number of nickel in the slot machines arc arranged in rows around the walls and dispense sandwiches, wines or liquors, and even a cup of hot coffee.
 It is not necessary to wait for the wait CT to get meal. A nickel-here 10 pfen- nigs or 2H cents-put in tho slot of the respective machine will clean the plate, rinso the cup or glass and wipe it dry be- fore the customers eyes. What bowling success it is may be gathered from tho fact that on Sunday, the 18th inst, the sales amounted to 5, 400 sandwiches of different kinds, 5000 glasses of wine and cordials and 2a,0oo cups of ffoe.-Cincinnati En- quirer.

False Statements and Misrepresenta

False Statements and Misrepresenta-
 tions.
 Corruption does not exist in politics alone. The time was when people were shocked to hear that such conditions pre- vailed in politics, but worse than all else is the fact that this evil should be carried into the drug business and the sick be made to suffer in consequence thereof. For vari- ous reasons dealers allow themselves to be persuaded to stock up medicines of all sorts to be sold to the sick on the repre- seutation that they are just the same as Simmons Liver Regnlator-a greater out rage has not been perpetrated upon the people. This has been the experience of many who have been duped by these false statements. Take only The Old Friend, i, Simmons Liver Regulator. with the Red z on every package, and you'll get the medi- cine that did the old folks so much good in bygo1e days. It has been kept up as their inheritarc. to the present generation.

A DEADLY DISEASE.
Paresis Seems to Be the Great Evil of Our Times.

Paresis Seems to Be the Great Evil of Our Times.
 In connection with the cocksure state rnent of Mir. Howells that tho present race was never so healthy and strong as now it is interesting to read tho following para graph, written by Dr. T. S. Clouston, su- pcrintcndent If the Morningside asylum, Scotland. He says:
 "One terrible form of brain disease with mental symptoms, is certainly increasing. That malady may be described as 0 break down Of the great center of mind and mo- tion in tho brain. It always goes on from bad to worse till it renders its victim ut tcrly helpless in mind and body and kills him in few years No cure and scarcely any mitigation of this latter day curse has been devised. It is disease of cities, of restless lives of active brains in their prime, sometimes of dissipation and de- bauchery, of life at high pressure com lnonly"
 During the past year the asylums of Scotland received 150 new cases, those of England l, 400, and those of Ireland 52. Tho asylum statistics of this country show an even greater number.
 In a single asylum in New York, for ex- ample-that at Ogdensburg-there were among the 659 admissions 31 cases of gen. eral paresis. This would make tho propor- tion of general parcsis over per cent.
 Among seven state asylums, to which 1,942 patients wero admitted in 1890, there were 66 cases of general parcsis, or a little over per cent If 4 per cent bo tho gen eral ratio for this disease in the state of New York, then tho total number of pa retics among the 6,000 insane would be about GAO As matter of fact tho num- bcr is much greater because the proportion of this disease is larger in the New York and Kings county asylums than in those of tho state at large. But oven if there were but 4,o00 cases of general paresis among tho 100000 insane of this country it would be an extraordinary evidence of the development of a disease which, in the last century, was certainly not known, even if it did exst.-Medcal Record
