Condition of Trade.

More far reaching than any other
change during the past week, if really
warranted by facts, is the continued
rise in prices of wheat and cotton.
Real scarcity of either would affect all
business. Happily there is still room
to hope that accounts of injury are
greatly exaggerated, although there
has been some evidence during the
week that both the great crops have
suffered more than at first appeared.
Other changes are almost all favorable
and some highly encouraging. Labor
troubles are clearly less threatening.
Monetary conditions are satisfactory,
and the substantial increase in the
commercial demand is good sign.
Exchanges through the clearing houses
have been greatly inflated by specula-
ton, and at this time last year were cut
down by the coal strike, and toward the
end of May, 1898, greatly reduced by
bank failures, but for the week they
exceed last years by 1910 per cent, and
fall only Sc per cent. below those OF
1898, while the daily average for Nav is
269 per cent less than last year, but I. i
per cent less than in 1898.
Stock speculation has shrunk to less
than half its volume three weeks ago,
and is almost wholly confined to pro-
fessionals, IN spite of better earnings.

Bureau, Milwaukee, Wis. Bulletin No.
10.
The week opened under unfay orable
conditions. A cool wave passed over
the state on Monday, attended by frosts,
which, in some sections were quite
severe, and in some Of the northern
counties ice is said to have formed
about ! of an inch thick, but notwith-
standing the severity of the frost very
little damage is reported. This cold
wave was followed by an extremely hot
one, accompanied by scorching winds
which continued for two days, ending
in general thunder showers with good
soaking rains on Thursday and Friday
and again on Sunday, which are very
beneficial to the willing vegetation,
Crop conditions now show decided
Improvement over last week. The
gentle rains, with sufficient amount of
warmth and sunshine, caused remark
ably rapid growth and repaired much
of the damage caused by the recent
frosts.
Corn is coming on rapidly and cult
vators are at work in some Of the
southern counties. A few complaints of
damage to corn by cut worms are
received, being in most cases on sandy
soil, and the injury so far done is not
great. Late planted corn is doing much
better than that planted earlier and
some fields of the latter look so poorly
they are being replanted. The corn
prospects can be said to be exception
ally good. Potatoes are about all
planted and this crop, which is lead
ing one in this State, has been started
under the most favorable conditions,
and an unusually large acreage has been
put in. Apples are dropping from the
trees, and this crop will be light Gran
berries look poorly. Strawberries are
looking some better but the crop will
be far below the average.

riously examining Vitalianis dramatic recitation, ono becomes always more con- vinced of her striking personality. She in- terprcts various characters faithfully and wins at once the full approval of the au thor who has intrusted to her his work. This is a special feature of her ability. She sacrifices her own personal achieve ment to the true intention of the play and its author. In fact, this sympathy between author and interpreter is what determines her superiority.
 Vitaliani is now about 2S years of age During tho past 12 years she has risen gradually from the inferior grades to lead ing roles, becoming now the actual leader of company which she guides superbly. Her most noted successes of late have been in "Camillo,' "Hedda Gabler, " "Moglie Idealc,' by Praga; "Adrienne Lecou- vreur, "Frou Frou, ""Cristi Amori," by Giacosa; "Dora,'' "Crologia di Dorina, D by Rovetta; "Una Donna" by Roberto Bracco, and "Tufcdclc," by the same au- thor. She is also a striking figure in all the leading roles of the modern repertory. This enchanting actress is worthy of spe- cial study for her true artistic intention and religious consideration of the art she so honorably profcsses by those who are endowed with genuine enthusiasm and exquisite disccrnmcnt of what is true art"

 NEW YORK, Aug. 17.-John W. Blake! ley, who had horror of dirty looking or worn greenbacks and who would always give his customers change in new, crisp $l bills, died suddenly at his home in Brooklyn. Blakeley was one of the lar gest retail cigar dealers and perhaps one of the best known in the city. For more than a quarter of century Blakeley had done business in New York, During all that time he never missed personally su- perintending his store. It was his habit to open his place himself at o'clock every morning, and it was closed promptly at the same hour each night.
 He came to this country from England and landed at Castle Garden without a penny in his pocket. He learned the to- bacco business and finally started on his own account, He was about 55 years old and somewhat eccentric. He always made point of securing from his customers any soiled bills they had and exchanging them for new bills. The old bills he would send to his bank and always demanded clean bills in return
 Blakely was popular man with the letter carriers and was instrumental in or, ganizing the movement which secured eight hours work for the letter carriers, He leaves a wife and family and fortune estimated at $150, 900.

 Lexington, Ky.
 LEXINGTON, Ky, Aug. 17.-There never were such scenes in this place as prevail ed last night. Last Wednesday Mrs. Mary Hudson (white), wife of . prominent farmer, was outraged three miles from this city by a negro. The woman's screams attracted the men from the fields. They found Mrs. Hudson unconscious, and the negro had fled. The country was secured hy hundreds of armed .nen and bloodhounds, and that night Henry Mitch ell Smith was caught. He has been held in jail over since.
 Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Hudson was brought to this city. She positively iden- tified Smith as her assailant. This caused great excitement, and Judge Bullock at once issued an order that guard of 1S men be kept over Smith. D.
 Deputy Jailer Wilkerson immediately summoned 15 citizens, armed them with guns and revolvers and placed them around the jail. Chief McElroy swore in 6 lot of special policemen and placed them along the streets leading to the jail. This did not prevent a large crowd from as sembling at the jail and remaining there all night. It is well understood that noth- ing will be done till the crowd comes in from Haynes Station, where Mrs. Hud- son lives. Word from Haynes Station is that from 100 to 150 armed men are rem dezvousing at that place getting ready for the march on the jail in this oity. After midnight the crowd still remained near the jail, and the neighbors were known to be coming,

THE NEW WOMAN.

=s= ] The shades of night wero falling fast, As through the crowded streets there passed A creature not to be described, Who bore Rloft shield inscribed
 "The new woman" Her trousers were a little wide And just trifle short beside, As forward on her wheel she dashed, While on the startled vision flashed ~ The new woman. Her brow with evening dew was drenched, Yet tight the handle bar she clenched, And never dropped the banner bold Which showed alike to young and old
 The new woman. "Oh, stay" the young man said, "and rest Your weary head upon my breast. p You surely cannot further goI'' A voice replied, "You do not know
 Tho new woman." "Avoid this path, the old man called. "Its dangers have strong men appalled," Again proud cry. foated back, "You can't keep in the beaten track
 The new woman." "Beware the politicians fate And turn back ere it is too late." But ever high above the din "Come what come may, this vote shall win,
 'The new woman.' The timid crowd bewildered sat, And many sighed, "Where al. we at2'' One man was bold enough to try To follow where before did fly
 The new woman. All night he rode through darkness vast And ever anxious glances cast, But speed of his could not avail To catch upon her dizzy trail
 The new woman. And when at last the morning broke In bitterness these words he spoke, " Iris plain I'm distanced, and the race Is hers by right of rapid pace,
 The new woman."

The Attack Planned to Further Provoke
 Europe Against Turkey.
 LONDON, Aug. 17.-The Times prints dispatch from Sofia confirming the report of the attack by 500 Bulgarians on the Mohammedan village of Dospat, across the Turkish frontier. The later reports received show that 300 houses were burn ed and 100 persons killed.
 A dynamite bomb was thrown from @ mosque into a crowd of refugees. The village lies in the wildcst recesses of tho Rhodope mountains southeast of Batak. It is inhabited by Mohammedan Bulga- rians, brave and warlike fanatics, who hate the Christian Bulgarians more than the Turks, and are therefore likely to take q terrible revenge. The Bashi Bazouks, who committed the outrages at Batak in 1S76 were largely drawn from similar will lages.
 It is believed that the attack was ar ranged by the Macedonian committee in order to provoke fresh atrocN iS and thus incense Europe against Turkey.

 Then papa explained: "You see, I took the bottle out into the garden just after the cucumber began to form. It was then very easy to put the baby cu- cumber into the bottle.

THE LATEST SEA SERPENT.
This Reptile Has Short Legs and Head
 Like a Hog.

CITY ISLAND, N. Y, Aug. 17-Captain Burns of the fishing steamboat Montauk came in last night and told the latest sea serpent story. He said that while the Montauk was on a cruise bound west, three miles east of Eaton's neck, the boat ran into big sea serpent.
 Captain Burns said that tho force of the collision broke tho flange from tho paddle wheel. He said the head of the monster was the shape of hog, and that it had large eyes, and that when it turned oyer in the water he noticed it had small legs.
 Captain Burns estimated this latest sea monster to be nearly 100 feet in length. Captain Burns added that the members of his crew were all sober men, and that they would all confirm his statement.
