THE AUSTRALIAN WOOL CLIP
Consul Dan Maratta seys 1t Will BE

Consul Dan Maratta lays 1t Will BE
Very Light This Year.
WASHINGTON, April 2O.-Daniel Ma.
rata, United States consul general
at Melbourne, in a report to the state
department., say it has been under
stood for several months past that the
present clip of Australian wool would
show a substantial decrease compared
with the previous one, owing to
drought and to the fact that the strike
last year, involving a 13 months clip
left only an IL months clip i'll many
places this year. In New South
Wales alone the sheep have de-
creased 800, 900 in one year, a
loss beyond all precedent A good
deal of incredulity still exists
among European and American con
sumers, as 10 the likelihood Of a de.
crease in the wool product, involving
higher prices, but the buyers who
have visited Australia regard it as an
absolute certainty. Mr.. Maratta gives
exhaustive estimates to show that the
decrease in the present Australian clip
may amount to 100, 600 or $50, 600 bales.
This decrease has not yet been felt by
consumers, because up to o there
has been no falling off, but really an
actual increase in the supplies coming
IN the market, but the who
have postponed their purchases and de-
pend upon making them at the May,
July and September London sales, will
have to face q deficiency.

instrument without seeing it at all
One day an inspector walked into an
Office and began TO question the clerk liz

arrive, and the clerk sat down to write
it. The message was as follows.
Look out for squalls. The inspector
is somewhere ON the line and will be

The inspector smiled as he listened
to the message, while the poor clerk
looked quite helpless. His superior,

AN OCCULT
A Clairvoyant Discovers a Thief and Causes
Some Sorrow.

A Clairvoyant Discovers a Thief and Causes
Some Sorrow.
Mrs. Emma Wilton of Hoboken, N.
j., believes that she has had a practical
demonstration Of the value of clairvoy-
ancy as "a means of catching thieves.
The experience was an interesting one,
but nevertheless surprising, as the thief
for whom she was searching turned out
to be somebody whom she would have
preferred not to have caught.
Not long ago Mrs. Wilton missed some
silver spoons and a soup ladle. One day
she visited a friend and CHANGED to speak
of the missing silver. The friend told
her that there was a clairvOyant in Jersey
City who had a wonderful insight, and
strongly recommended her to visit this
person for the purpose of learning who
had stolen her property. Mrs. Wilton
followed the advice and learned many
things which opened her eyes. The clair
voyant gave her a description Of the
thief, which correspondent with her neph-
ew, Frank Van Wart.
Mrs. Wilton asked Frank the next
time she saw him if he was a believer
in fortune t~ellers, and he answered that
they sometimes prophesied with Won,
derful accuracy. The aunt then told him
the ~clairvoyant's opinion Of him. Frank
denied the allegation, but promised to
assist in q search for the spoons and was
very successful. He had to pay 60 cents
to redeem them. A confession and his
arrest followed, but Mrs. Wilton fell
sorry for her nephew and did not press
the complaint. New York Tribune.
