Mrs. Willy X. Vanderbilt for a summer
residence, and six connecting rooms are
given up to bathing. There are three marble
bathrooms, all opening into the shelf or

of the house is sunken in the floor. At

$40 FOR A WASH.
The favorite bath for women is the attar
of rose bath. The cost of such bath is $40.
But this Is not so very excessive when one
thinks what it does for complexion and com
fort. To scent the hair there is bath
used by both men and women. 1t is a
flower bath of an almost indescribable
sort. Dried rose petals, highly scented
from the rose jar, are sewn into small
cap which is fitted over the head and LEFT
on during the bath. The hair gets a perma-
nent perfume In this way.
Men are more fond of bathing than
women. Their systems react more readily.
Men take more baths in winter, three to
one, than women, though none but actual
statistics could convince the unbelieving
public of this, or a canvass OF households.
The man of the house enjoys good bath
room as much or more than the women,
who care less for splashing.
In planning a sleeping room for himself
the man of means requests a private adj
joining bath. And in fitting 1t up he
spends mrcl more than the sum placed in
his expense book. One corner is gym
nasium.
Where woman orders scents aud per-
fumes a man fits up a. very snug little
closet, within hands reach of the bath
where liquid refreshments can be tasted.
And near his hand is a set of bells that
bring him hot water, sugar, the newspaper,
and all the things which he fiatters himself
he could enjoy au naturel.

MARKETS BY TELEGRAPH.
Chicago Change.

Chicago May 13.-Advices from the west ern country did not indicate that wheat Sunday night. The good news was re- fected in the easier opening of that market today. Before the ,close, however. the crowd had worked themselves into fever ish condition over the predictions of con tinued freezing weather tonight, and ap- prehension that the growing grain would not fare so we'll during the next forty-eight hours, bought freely of both short and Hong" wheat From an easy start the market developed into roaring bull one. with prices showing a net appreciation of 11sc at the close. July wheat opened from 64b to 64Ac, declined to 637sc, then ruled firm and higher, closing at 65$sc. 1bc higher than Saturday. Cash wheat, sample lOts sold at steady prices, but closed strong with the futures.
 Corn-The corn belt sent in reports of damage to that grain this morning. Iowa seemed to be the greatest sufferer by the frost and that state was to have another visitation of severe freezing tonight. The disposition among traders was averSe to taking any risk on the short side, and those who were already committed to con tracts to that character evinced a disin- clinatton to close them up. The tone Was therefore a firm one, the buoyancy Of wheat lending additional emphases to the feeling. The July corn opened from 50B to 505sc, sold between 505s051G5lBc. closing at 5O3sd51c, Ae higher than yesterday. Cash corn ruled steady, but closed firm and Ac per bushel higher.
 Oats-Not all the strength of wheat and corn was imparted to oats. The sympathy between the markets, however. served to sustain prices. Business was not remark able for anything in particular. local traders having control of the market. July oats closed 1sc lower than Saturday, Cash oats were easy to steady,
 Provisions From 10:30 until the close at 1-15 D. m there were just three trades in provisions. It can easily be understood therefore the stagnation that prevailed in this market. The hog market was without change, no direction to product being af- forded by the advances from the yards Tat1r a-A higher and July ribs 2la45c higher.
 The leading futures ranged as follows.

In Wall Street.

New York, May 13.-The reports from the west of damage by frost to the crops were evidently cabled to London yesterday, and nearly at the opening of the exchange here this morning there were large orders from the other side to take profits. Esti- mates place the foreign selling at fully 5O,- GOO shares. The more or less sensational re- ports about the crop situation induced the local traders to change front, and there quarter, As a result the market was rather ragged throughout. In the early trading prices declined AGi1a, Louisville and Nash Pacific making the largest losses. This was followed by a buying movement in Dstillers and Sugar Distillers rose to many months Chicago Gas, after breaking to 7S9s rose to 76as but later returned to f4A. Chicago Gas was nervous throughout because of the uncertainty about the bills affecting the company now before Governor Altgeld.
 In the afternoon trading the bears dis arguments was the alleged sales of some S4,000.0O0 of bonds by the Chicago and Northwestern road: Local officials could had an unsettling influence and induced free selling. Sugar declined 15s to 116; nefon and 'o 1ncy S g K o 99 5ar a to 66A Rock Island 1as to 6s5s; Distillers 1ss to 21A Michigan Central to 1015s; Lead iA to sl&; New England 1as to 42ls;' North ern Pacific preferred 1% to 25A; Omaha to 27l5: Union Pacific 1ss to 16B; Wabash pre- ferred 12s to 1912; and Western Union 1 to 921s.
 The market closed rather weak in tone, with prices anywhere from Ii to1B per cent below Saturdays sales. Total sales were 70l, ,SS3 shares, the largest total for years. In the total Dstillers figured for 115,375 shares, Chicago Gas for 59, 100 and Atchison for 46 GOO shares.

 Today's features: The speculation was small local affair. Early in the day there was rise owing to the advance in Liver pool, cold weather at the south, some re- ports of damage, a rise in silver and a fair amount of local and southern buying. Later on, however, prices receded mainly owing to a prediction by the signal service of fair and warmer weather at the south Some of the German houses sold the dis tant months and bought August this after noon. Grain stocks and iron were stronger and the bull fever seems to be on not only in this country but in Europe Some think cotton has had all the rise that it is en- titled to, but others and among them not a few experienced operators and promi- nent houses here. believe that 1895 is going to be a bull year i'll cotton.

 Says the New York Daily Indicator and Financial News:
 A short time since we recommended pur- chases of copper bullion. It has since ad- vanced materially. We think it will go considerably higher. There is also money to be made in pig iron. Wheat and cotton should boom up before long. There may have been reasons why wheat should sell at 50 cents per bushel, cotton at cents per pound, but the pendulum is swinging in the opposite direction, and we think the limit of the swing will be over 80 cents for wheat and cents for cotton.
 All products should be big purchase at late prices.

To Out-of-T Town Patients:

Since the establishment of the South ern Medical Dispensary in this city several years ago, and which, by the way, was the first medical institute in Birmingham-as the fileS of the city papers will show-our success has been so pronounced as to encourage other less competent doctors and self styled "old reliable specialistso to inn itate our mode of advertising, and by their spacious pretensions and heroic self-praise make capital for themselves by their questionabl ble methods. We therefore advise all those,who may not be personally acquainted with Dr. Do- zier, before submitting their cases to any specialist, to consult their own in- terests and safety by first making an investigation of the homo character of the man that they would have treat them.
 a If you are mem Der of any church, or if you are Mason, Odd Fellow, K. of H., K. of P, or belong to any order or organization then write to some leader, officer or member of such church or order in Birmingham and inquire concerning our professional, social and financial standing. After doing this, write to us a plain state- ment of your case and inclose a stamp for reply. We Will give you then our opinion, terms for treatn1 cut, etc.
 Our system of mail treatment is the best ever devised, and enables us to cure thousands every year who could not otherwise have been reached by US. It will cost you nothing more than stamp to get our opinion of your case, which may prove valuable indeed to you.

 IA gentleman from another town came to Birmingham one day last week to place himself in the hands of a specialist.
