THE QUEEN AND RER CLOTHES.

 Garments for Sale.

When in the Sums She Saw Her Cast-Of
 Garments for Sale.
 A story brought to the recollection of contributor to Women by an article in that paper on "Royalty's Old Clothes:" When the queen was in the heydey of her married life and present at all great functions she was remarkable for her exceedingly loud" taste in dress, as cer- tain of her daughters are at present. Brilliant pinks, blues and magnetas, the most gorgeous of colored brocades, and the gay combinations of vivid Scotch tar tan delighted her majesty.
 One evening the queen and the prince consort, who frequently visited the mar row streets and slums of Windsor quite alone happened to walk along a mean thoroughfare, and outside a second hand shop hung a brilliant blue ball dress, garianded with battered roses, and gay Victoria tartan gown trimmed with green velvet. It did not require the ticket which was ostentatously fastened on them 10 tell both the queen and the prince consort from whose wardrobe they had come
 stern ukase issued 10 the dressers and wardrobe maids to whom the oueen's cast-off garments were a per ouisite, that these should never be sold in Windsor, or anywhere else. as having been worn by the queen. This regulation holds good still, though the solnbre gar ments of today would not attract the same notice as the gay raiment of the past.

THE TERRIFIED WIFE SAW
The GhastIy Face of Her Husband Upturned in
 Pool of Blood -MysteriouS Sui eide at Tuscumbia.

Tuscumbia, Aug. 22.-(Special)-The shocking news was brought to town this morning that St. Elmo Abernathy, popu- lar and beloved by all who knew him, was found dead at his door with his throat horribly cut and a razor lying near. indicating that he had himself com mitted the deed.
 No known motive can be given for his self destruction. His domestic affairs were of the happiest character and 1t was thought that he was very prosperous. He and his young wife had been sitting up with their sick child. The wife fell asleep as the baby became quiet. and upon awakening she called St. Elmo. Receiving no answer she went and threw the window open. and there in the gray dawn she beheld the form of her hus- band with his ghastly face upturned in a pool of blood.

IRON TRADE REVIEW.
Advance in Prices for All Grades Noted for the
 Week Sales at the Advance Noted.

Cleveland, O., Aug. 22.-'rhe Iron Trade Review says today: Advances in Besse- mer pig iron, gray forge, steel billets and wire rod have taken place in the past week, and in all lines of finished iron and steel the tendency is still upward, though with relatively less business than in the raw materials. Resides of Bessemer iron caused an appearance of incipient weak ness in that market ten days ago, but when buyers came in to cover actual wants on the heels of these transactions it soon appeared that they were incl dents and not indexes of the general trend of things.
 In the past week considerable Besse- mer iron has been taken up and the price had advanced 25 cents, transactions ranging from $13S5 to $14 in the valley, while sales of upwards of 25,000 tons have been made in the Cleveland district. Forge iron is higher, sales having been made at SIP to S12.25 in Pttsburg while .75 is the lowest valley quotations now. F foundry iron has shown no change in price, though the tendency is upward. In charcoal irons further advances have been made, with sales of Lake Superior at $13.5 to $14 at Lake Erie ports.
 Considerable activity in steel is noted for the week and sales in the Pttsburg and Cleveland districts have been at $22 One or two prompt sales were reported at S22.2 at Pitsburg. Wire rods are ad- vancing, and sellers now quote S30 at Cleveland. On wire nails the price for September is fixed at s2 g at Pttsburg in carload lots, and the size of the ad- vance on barb wire, though not definitely decided, is likely to be $10 ton
 The meeting of bar iron manufacturers in Cleveland on Tuesday made no change in prices.
