The Wool Trade.

Boston, Mass., jar. 4.-The American
Wool and Cotton Reporter says of the
wool trade: The market for fine domestic
heeces is good. While the demand is very
quiet there is fair inquiry for rthree-eightha
blood and more or less business in me.
d1um wools, which are fairly firm in price,
Pulled and secured woods have been in
good request. The feature of the week has
been Australian, however, of which there
has been considerable sale, there being a
run on fair goods for which better feel
ing obtains abroad, but no great i'm
provement is anticipated unless they get
heavy American orders, which is deemed
doubtful. An establishment OF wool
prices is not looked for until the March
sales in London.
The sales of the week are 1889, ,45O
pounds domestic and 1,445,5OO pounds
foreign, total of 2,659,95O pounds, against
fetal of 2,9O4,3 pounds for the corre-
spending week last year.

THE Ell PASO ROBBERY.
How the Cracksmen Worked Messrs.
Hickox & Hixson to the Tune
of $4,000.

Says the Ell Paso Times: Crime scored
the first knock down in the new year.
Tuesday night skilled cracksmen looted
the store of Hickox & Hixson and the
handsome diamonds that sparkled in the
window of their pretty jewelry store are
now stored away in the pockets of thieves.
The thieves we're artists who understood
their business, as their work will attest.
They gained an entrance into the store by
boring through the door so as to drive In
the latch catch. They then drilled two
holes in the safe door just against the
lock so as to drop the bolts and open

LUNATICS In "a BLAZE.
The Southern Illinois II os ,,aLai Cal> n
es Fire with Disastrous
Results.

Anna, ILL.,, Jan. 4.-The center building
and the south wing Of the Southern Hi.
nois hospital for the insane burned this
morning. The building contained nearly
600 patients, all of whom it is thought
were safely gotten cut, except one, who
was observed on the fourth floor dressed
only in night clothes. None of the at
tendants or patients had time to secure
clothing and the snow worked great
hardship in transferring the patients. 1t
is thought that none of those confined in
the asylum are at large, though desperate
attempts at escape were made. The loss
will exceed 100000.
EXTENT OF THE FIRE.
All the old buildings that escaped the
fire few years ago were entirely de-
stroyed. The north wing is all that re-
mains. The flames we're first discovered
near the roof of the main building and
can not be accounted for. The asylum
has its own water works, but the system
was ineffective in fighting the fire, the
plugs being frozen.

~7~7-l-7l=-- SENSIBLE CHARITY.

The potato patch charity has been a great success in Buffalo this year, and those who have managed it are much encouraged. The mayor of Buffalo, MT. took hold of the business this spring and "who did not know a hoe from a hat-rack" made between sixteen and eighteen bushels besides raising other vegetables as well. Some of those who had worked on farms before, took the municipal plots and got 30 bushels out Of them, and the applications for them for next year already exceed the supply Most of the families to whom plots were given had but little time to at- tend to them, and this makes the show ing the more wonderful. Many of the men had jobs that wolId last from a week to a month, and those who had families would send their wives and children to do what they could about the miniature farms. When the crops are all in, the Buffalo Industrial associa- tion intends to figure up tile actual ca sh value of the produce, and thus deter mine just how much good has been done by the investment of S2, 200, which is practically all that has been spenr in the project. If the average of twenty five bushels from each plot holds good the potato crop, alone will be worth $7.225.
 The potato charity is a good one, and it is especially good because it doesn't tend to pauperize those who profit by it.

YALE,N VICTORY

Yale's victory over England Saturday was not quite as complete and thorough as her victories usually are. but 1t was quite complete and thorough enough for England and will do for Yale and her admirers, The prellmlnaries to the con- test and the contest itself have been carried on with courtesy and good feel ing on both sides. and tho whole affair has been just what such an affair should be. including, Of course. the outcome of it.
 This is evidently not England's year in international sport, Perhaps she will do better next year. It will be all right If she does. provided the American yacht the American cricketers and the American and Yale athletes do little better than she does They will make an effort.

THE NEV MLTH0DIST W0M4y.

The new Methodist Woman is not much like the old Methodist Woman. The old Methodist Woman was very serious, or. at least, demure being. She didn't "frivol" She didn't adorn herself like a bird of paradise She didn't dance. She didn't play progress sive euchre. She didn't go to the thea tre And she was truly submissive to the Methodist Man, with whom she was equally yoked. The new Methodist Wo- man takes her religion easier than the old one did. She wears as good and as curious clothes as she can get, and if she can adorn herself like bird of paradise she does it, without rebuke and with admiration. She dances some, plays cards some and goes to the thea tre more or less. She is just about, as submissive to the Methodist man as she wants to be. In short, she is much like the Congregationalist Woman, the Episcopalian Woman and the Baptist Woman.
 Though the new Methodist Woman is already pretty well emancipated from ancient custom and ancient tyranny there appears to be yet more freedom in store for her. The Methodist General Conference, which meets once in four years, is to convene in Cleveland next May, and the indications are that she will be in it with both her pretty feet. The conference is by the terms of the constitution composed of bishops, preachers and '1aymen.a The question of representation by the women of the church first came prominently before the general conference at it's session in 1888, and it was rejected. It again came before the highest body of the Church at it's session in 1892, and the proposition was defeated by very small margin. By some very clever tactics the matter was held open by the negative referen- dunn proposition, known as the Hamil ton amendment, and the question was thus kept alive. The resolution adopt ed at the general conference of 1892 submitted the following proposition to the vote of the annual conferences: t'Re- solved, That we submit to the annual conferences the proposition to amend the second restrictive rule by adding the words, land said delegates must be male members" !" after the words two lay delegates for an annual confer ence' so that it will read: 'sNor of more than two lay delegates for an an- nual conference and said delegates must to male members" Enough annual conferences have acted upon this mat ter and in such a way as to leave little doubt that the new Methodist Woman Conference.
 It is interesting to note that 1t was not. until 1872 that any 'ma1e'' laymen even were allowed in the national con- ference of the Methodist church; and then not until after most vigorously contested campaign of education and discussion, kept up for years. So the new Methodist Woman will have made surprising progress if she gains the right which now seems to be within her reach.

At recent meeting of the Associa- tion of Agricultural Chemists, held at Washington, a paper was read on the subject of the dependence of plant growth upon bacteria, and the extreme ground was taken that no germination is possible to plant life without the as- sistance of micro-organisms. It ap- pears that the function of these bacteria is to absorb the nitrogen from the soil, convert it into nitric-acid by chemical union with oxygen and water, and to supply the product to the plant cells as food for growth. Without the assist ance of the bacteria in this process it is claimed that the plants would die in the richest soil The leguminous plants. such as peas, beans and clover, contain the greatest supply of bacteria, while the cereal plants contain much smaller colonies of these minute assistants. To this cause, it is believed, may be traced the fact that cereal crops, when planted too long in succession in a field, are 1n- able to make use of the supply of nitro gen in the soil and languish for lack of nourishment. It is known that some soils which are rich in nitrogen and all the elements essential to plant life refuse to support the pro- cess of germination, and it is believed that the true cause of this phe- nomenon has been discovered. The chemists who have been experimenting in this field entertain the hope that they will be able to secure the cultivation of plant bacteria as laboratory product, and to supply the farmers with some thing that will be of material aid in the cultivation and improvement of crops.

A new question is presented for the consideration of speculators in corn, oats and railroad stocks. It Is said that as many as 275, ,oOo horses have been dis placed already by the trolley, and as about 125,00O bushels of corn or oats a day are required to feed this number, the question arises as to what effect a continued movement of this kind will have on the agricultural output of the country. If horses are not to be in any thing like the demand of other days, what is to become of the cereal product which they have consumed? Two hun dred and seventy-tive thousand horses, it is estimated, will eat 45oOO,O0o bushels of this product in a year, and this amount, if carried by the railroads, would reach the very great total of 62,5Oo carloads.
