husbands life, went to three different
brokers personally with $1,000 and re-
quested them to invest it for her. and
each one refused, because they had
more business than they could attend
to properly.
They beckoned to the brokers from
the gallery, haunted their offices and
hung about the entrances to the ex.
change. Each broker would refer them
to some other, who would in turn pass
them along to another. The brokers,
while wishing to treat the women In
respectful manner, were too busy TO
20 into details Of explanation with
each one, and with true Womanly curl
osity they wanted to know all about it
before investing.
The cause for the unusual interest
on the part Of the women was the cur
rent report that Mrs. Hanna had made
n fortune out of it. The brokers had,
or at least some Of them had, found it
necessary to refuse to take orders
from the women.
But women are not ca silly thwarted.
When the brokers refused to take their
money they simply gave 1t to some Of
their masculine friends, and induced
them to put it in the hands of the
traders.

80 cents a day. Few men could ar-
cumuIatc money on such Il salary. But
Adam was economical and in three
years managed to put aside $40. At
the outset Of the boom in the market,
before the brokers began demanding
large sums for margins, he handed his
S1J to one of them with instructions to-
buy some oil A few days ago he sold
it, cleared 81 800, bought Il iirSt-claSS

New York, May 1S.-R. G. Dun's
weekly report says that the severe
cold snap, with the extensive frosts
and In some states snow, fortunately
has done little damage to grain crops,
though much to fruit, but has Consid-
erably retarded retail trade. The best
news Of the week is the advance Of
ten percent. in wages by the Carnegie
works followed by the Jones and
laughIin establishments and evident
~ implying Il similar advance by many
other concerns. The Illinois Steel CON-
pany is starring its furnaces without
granting the demands Of the employees.
No advance has been found practicable

Madison, Nav IS.

The action of Charles Schlewgh. one
OF the Mazomanie Cabinet Manufact-
urlnS company'S stockholders, against
the corporation, was amicably settled
yesterday and the corporation placed
upon better business basis than ever
before, and will not delay the COM
panys business in any way. The ac-
ton brought by Mr.. Schlewgh sought
an accounting, a receiver, the setting
aside of transfer of a part of the ter
ritory controlled by the corporation in
the manufacture of a patent kitchen
cabinet and other measures of relief.
The members of the company and AT,
torneys g. Il. Whelan and Il. n. War
ner, representing Mr.. Schlewgh and
the corporation respectively, spent the
entire day yesterday in arriving at
definite conclusion with the result that
stipulation was entered into where
by John q. Knapp, of MaZomanie,
takes control of the business as truS-
tee; the action is dismissed; the terri
tory assigned by the corporation to b.
S. Stedwell, the president of the com
pany, is transferred to the company
again while the company returns to
Mr.. Stedwell his twenty shares of
stock and he is again chosen president.
The company has suffered much
from internal dissensionS. but the set
Element in its detils prevents Il recur-
renee of trouble. The factory COM
priSeS the principal industry in the vii
lage OF MaZomanie and the citizens of
that place are anxious that nothing
shall occur to embarraSS the company
in its work. With proper management
there is every reason to expect bus
mess of considerable magnitude. In
spite of the unsettled condition of af-
fairs for month the books show
transactions a%gregating $1,000 in that
time and now there will be marked
increase due to several changes made
in the business management and
methods by reason of yesterdays con-

The widow of one of the best

that Philadelphians as a rule know
very little of her, and the outside world
nothing at all. Emma Bowler Childs
is Il slender, little, dark-eyed woman,
whose main interest in life seems to
be the well being and care of her
household. She has never been So
ciety woman and has rarely been seen

She has lived in the great white
marble mansion during the winter for
many years, going as soon as spring
came to the country seat, Wootton.
