Good Intentions.


There are many kind wotds
we mean to say sometimes which
are likely to remain forever UNI
said. There are many things we
plan to do, and are never likely to
do them; and some of these things
may we'll be left undone. But
there are other things which we
may do, and do promptly. IL we
have faults to confess, forgiveness
to ask, apologies to make OF faults
to amend, the sooner we dc it the
better.
Life is fleeting, tho days are
passing away, and in a little while
others will have gone beyond the
reach of our praise or blame, and
we, too, may have passed beyond
all mortal scenes of honor or of
shame. If we have anything to
do which ought to be done, let us
do it quickly. We shall feel all
the better when our work is done,
and the time that remains to us
can be better improved when Ger
tain needful things are done with
and off our minds.
How many times there comes
to us the news that some one
whom we have known has passed
beyond our reach; and sometimes
we regret that the things we in
tended to do or say were left un-
done till is is too late to do them.
Whatever thy hand findeth to
do, do it with thy might, for there
is no work, device or knowledge in
the grave WHITTIER thou goest."

ChlIdrens' D0ys


ChlIdrens' Day.
Tho M. E. Church, South, of this
city, held their Childrens' Day OK
ercises on last evening. The church
was most beautifully and tastefully
decorated with flowers and over
greens. An arch in front of the
pulpit was elegantly adorned and
the pot flowers on tables standing
on each side with bouquets lining
the floor and twisted garlands
stretching from pulpit to the cor
ners on the right and left. Lang
uage is too weak to describe the
tasteful decorations. Much credit
is due to Mrs. j. w. Simpson and
daughters, Belle and Bertha, Miss
Lula Comstock and Walter Com
stock, in their untiring efforts, and
to the many kind friends who so
willingly furnished the flowers. The
exercises were second to none ever
held in this city. The house was
packed, many persons having to
stand. These exercises were very
oreditable to the church and the
Superintendent who has had charge
of the school for the past several
years. All speak in the highest
terms of these enjoyable exercises.
From what we can hear there
will be more people here on the
Fourth of July than was ever here
during a County Fair" The
committee have certainly spared no
time nor money in advertising, and
people from all along both rivers
and both railroads tell us that these
large "posters" adorn every bill
board, barn, blacksmith shop, in
fact every place large enough to
paste a bill from Red House to
Athens, and from Ravenswood to
Guyandotte, on the Ohio River
Railroad.

boz NEW YORK, April 17.-The speculative
temper today underwent a change, illustrating
the proverbial uncertainty of affairs in Wall
street. The course of prices was generally
downward. The bear contingent exhibited ag-
gIessiveness, being further encouraged by
liquidation in American securities by foreign
dealers. There was hardly trace of the COM
mission house buying. The distribution of
business in the railway shares was poor, only
one stock, st. Paul, recording fair total In
the industrials, Sugar counted for over one
fourth of the entire transactions. The stock
was weak, fact which caused something Of
a shock to the average speculator. The lack
of support in Sugar eXerted an unfavorable
sympathetic effect upon the industrials. The
Cotton Oil shares were comparatively active
and developed marked heaviness on further
unfayorable fumors regarding the probable
action on the dividend on the preferred stock,
which is payable in June. Tobacco fell IL
per cent at the outset, but in the late deal
ings was marked up PA per cent. The rail-
way list moved within a narrow range. The
closing was weak, at about the lowest OF the
day.
The total sales were ICE, ,625 shares, includ-
ing American Tobacco, II, 400; Chicago Gas

NO MORE CALICO ON "IowA."
No Fuller Clothing Goes on Partial
Iy Nude Statue.

DES MONIES, To-, April 1.-THE Iowa mon
ument commission yesterday settled the vexed
question recording the clothing to be placed on
the figure Of Iowa. - Three years ago it was
decided that the nude sketch made by the ar
tist was within the bounds of prepriety. A
year after the action was rescinded. Today
after discussion Of two hours, the mo
more-clothing" faction, headed by Mrs Cora
Weed, won the day. -
Iowa" is seven feet high, in q sitting post
ure, and represents the fruitfulness of the
states fields. From. her waist up she is nude.
Her hands support her breast, symbolizing
nourishment. She is not a typical mother but
an allegorical figure, typifying the mother of
ALL Senator James Harlan and Judge Trim
bic bitterly opposed the so-called "exposure,''
but were outvoted. They said the people of
Iowa would be shocked by such display, ana
they feared the condemnation which they said
would surely be visited upon them Mrs
Cora Weed, the lady member, thought the
statue was perfectly proper and. smiled at
the idea OF putting more calico around aIowa-"
The action of two years ago in selecting the
lace OF Mrs. Senator Harlan for History
was rescinded at the request of Senator Har-
ian Mrs. Robert T. Lincoln, his daughter

WEEK.

OUTLOOK IN FINANCIAL WORLD.
The Sentiment Among Spectators
Is BulIish, and the Prospect
Seems More Favorable.

NEW YORK, April 17.-Bradstreet's tomor-
fcw will say; Favorable weather has stimu-
lated the demand for seasonable merchandise.
On the whole, the week presents a distinct
gain. This is not so much apparent at East
ern centers, except at Baltimore and Pitts
burg, as in the Central Missouri river valley.
At some Northwestern cities the movement Of
merchandise has declined. There is a better
demand for cotton machinery to go South.
Preparations are making at most lake ports
for the opening of navigation, one of the first
effects of which will be to release 10000 900
bushels of grain in store at Chicago. Increase
in volume of business is most conspicuous
West, at st. Louis, Chicago, Kansas City,
Omaha, Milwaukee and Memphis. Less gain
is shown on the Pacific coast, except in export
lines, shipments of lumber from Portland and
San Francisco being conspicuous. Tacoma con-
tinues to send -four, lumber and cotton across
the Pacific and to South Africa.
Exports Of wheat flour included from both
coasts of the United States this week amount
to 2,017,0 900 bushels, against 1,754,0O0 bushels
last week. Exports of Indian corn amount to
1,S74 600 bushels this week, against 1891, 900
bushels last week.
Total business failures in the United States
are PA this week, against 2S1 last week, 219 in
the corresponding week of 1895, 212 in 1894
and 217 in 1898, which is smaller excess than
the average increase weekly during the first
quarter of the current year.
