Boston, May 22.--The American Wool
and Cotton Reporter will say tomorrow
OF the wool trade:
The market is dwlndling along most
monotonously. Some kinds OF stock
have been sold this week at exactly the
prices at which parts OF the game lots
were sold two weeks ago. There is
comparatively little old or new wool
selling. OF the latter the sales arc
especially small. Advices from the
early shearing sections indicate that
some OF the initial operators have with
drawn, Reports of wool are on the
ground waiting for an opportunity TO
do some business. opening prices being
too high for safety. In the recent past
purchases In the West have been made
on higher bnsis than Is warranted in
this market. II these woods arc held
possible eject may be 20 further d.
vert the attention of manufacturers TO
foreign wool; this In return would tend
to render the latter firmer. on the other
hand there are many users OF stocks
whose manufacturing circumstances
compel them lin their Judgment at
leasD to about exclusively use the do
nestle product. In the meantime the
general demand as observed OF Boston
market conditions show Is far from
inspiring. Rhode Island mills appear

have strike on their hands OF in
definite duration. Furthermore the un-
seasonable weather has been squarely
against the factory trade. The sales Of
the week amount to i.699000 pounds do
nestle and $4,000 foreign, making a
total of 2,29S,0OO, against total OF O.
$4,000 for the previous week. and a
total of LS1I.000 pounds for the CORE
spending week last year. The sales since

pounds, against 4a.eT6. 600 pounds yeni

Au Insane Mother.

PITTsEUpG, Pa. Feb. 15.-Nrs. Anne
liza Selbert, carrying her son, William
Selbert, nine months old, and drag
ging along her daughter. Marie Eliza
beth, five years old, plunged to death
in the Ohio river near her home at
Corapolis, about noon Monday. The
woman was the wife of William Sci
bert, contractor and coal dealer Of
Corapolis. She was thirty-four years
old and had but the two children she
took with her to her watery grave.
Mrs. Selbert is supposed to have been
insane. She was mild-mannered,
motherlv woman of nervous tempera-
ment. She was devoted to her hus-
band and children. Last Friday the
home of Mrs. Selbert's brotber-in-law
was destroyed by fire. She brooded
over this and today had her brother
in-law and his family come to her
house to live. Shortly before noon
today Mrs. Selbert abandoned her
work and started towards the river
with her children before any of the
inmates knew what was up. James
Moss was on the opposite side of the
river bank and saw the woman hurry
along the stream to the open place,
where she plunged in. He saw the
little girl pull away from the water
and endeavor to escape, but IN vain:
4 search for the bodies was Instituted
and the mother was found with her
baby in her arms. while with her left
hand she held the right hand of her
little girl. Suicide while insane, was
the verdict Of the coroners jury.

Clemson College Retitted.

CALHOUN, S. c., Feb. 16.-The
work of furnishing and reftting the
interior of Clemson College is being
rapidly advanced and everything will
be in order for the reoping on the 21st
instant. Messrs Hunnicutt and Bel
hngrath, of Atlanta. have the contract
for putting in the heating apparatus.
A test was recently made by Trustees
Donaldson and Bradley to see If every
thing was in working order and with
the exception of one or two minor
matters, the radiators We're found to
work successfully. The exterior paint
ing Of the College and chapel has been
delayed by the excessive cold prevail
I ing of late. The College people think
that the action of the board at their
last meeting, when it was decided not
to pay for student labor, will have the
effect of keeping away great many
boys. President Craighead is receiy-
ing many letters from parents who
want to send their sons, but who say
that they will be prevented from do
ing So if there is to be no pay for labor
It is thought that there will not be
more than 250 to 300 boys at the open
ing. Last year the number went at
one time to 5S0.-News and Courier.
