though HopefuIness Predominates.
New YORK, Feb. Cor. g. Dun &
CO.. Weekly Review of Trade, says:
In some quarters business gains at the west,
rather than at the east, but there is no general
change for the better although hopefulness
still predomnates The want Of sufficient de-
mand for the products Of great industries still
retards actual Improvement Strikes OF some
importance in garment-making and kindred
lines affect trade in Chicago and Baltimore,
but there are fewer labor difficulties than
usual, as existing conditions warn wage
carners that controversies at this time are I'M
wise.
Wheat has taken a flight upward, advancing
81 cents for cash and 2S cents for May, with
rumors OF foreign supplies as the only basis.
Estimates OF wheat in farmers hands are
lower than last year, but still indicate, with
visible stocks, u supply much beyond probable
needs.
Cotton has been weaker with only fair re-
ceipts, the important decline in goods having
much influence. The price OF middling up
lands has declined sixteenth and prepara-
lions for large increase Of acreage is still re-
ported. The market for textile goods is disap-
pointing Material reductions in cottons have
not brought out the needed demand and the
further decline in brown sheetings this week

THE inheritance tax is growing in
favor both in Europe and America as
a convenient and easy method of add
ing to the public revenues. When not
excessive in the rate imposed this tax
is approved also as just and fair, par
ticularly when applied to collateral
heirs Several states Of the union
have recently made the inheritance
tax part of their revenue systems,
Illinois being one of the latest to do
so. The last legislature provided for
progressive tax on collateral heirs and
a small tax on direct heirs, where the
amount received is in excess of SEQ, 600

DR. ARTHUR DEBAUssET, the aerial in

gressional support in an endeavor to
perfect his airship. The novel princi-

that it employs the motion of the earth

earth moved around to given point,

A NUMBER of leading citizens of New
York city have become interested in a
movement to turn the surplus popula-
ton of cities toward the country and
at the same time to improve rural con-
ditions. The work will be confined at
first to Westchester county, N. Y,
where the first agricultural university
school will be opened March 4. 1t is
assumed that there is need of greater
skill and knowledge on the farm, and
therefore the aim in the instruction
will not be so much to increase the
production as to obtain maximum
yields on less acreage, reducing the
cost and improving the quality.

SAN FRAN CISCO, Feb. 20.-Rev Dr.
Brown. after two months silence, has
given his defense to the public. The
story is the most startling which has
vet been told in the scandal. 1t was
related as a confession to the ecclesi.
astical court last night by Miss Martha
Oyerman, who is the first in the sensa-
tional case to confess herself black
mailer. Miss Overman's manner was
striking. The woman spoke deliber-
ately, weaving a remarkable story. log
ically and clearly. She confessed that
she was a blackmailer and tried to be
q thief, and she gave the information
with smile. She confessed that she
plotted the destruction Of the man whose
hospitality she now enjoys. She de-
clared that to save herself from work
and the possible hardships OF pow
erty she conspired with Mrs Mary A.
Davidson to ruin the character of
Rev. DIR. Brown and to blackcn her
own. She asserted that she ap-
preached the representatives of a
morning newspaper with hope of
tempting them to blackmail the &C.
cused pastor. She drew her recital to
dramatic climax by asserting, with
the smile which never left her face,
that she wrote the letters which pic
ture her own moral and physical ruin
and place the cause of her deep dis
tress at the door of Rev. DR.. Brown.
Asserting all this, she denied that
there had ever been the slightest i'm.
