QUEER MUNICH HOTEL.
Bun by Duke Theodore Of Bavaria On q
Plan Peculiarly His Own.

Bun by Duke Theodore Of Bavaria On
Plan Peculiarly His Own.
A thousand years ago Benedictine
monks discovered a small sulphur
spring on mountain near Munich.
They built hospital there that was
used by their order until 80 years ago,
when it was bought by King Maxi
milan, of Bavaria, who filled it with
poor sick folk. says the London Mail.
When the king died his grandson,
Duke Theodore, found that he had not
money enough to keep up his charity.
After long and anxious consultation
with his brothers the honest, kindly
prince erected new buildings and
opened the house every year for three
months as hotel. It was patronized
by many of the royal and noble families
OF Europe. though it is free to every
conner who will conduct himself re-
specially and pay for his accommoda-
tons.
Duke Theodore provides the food
from his own farm. which he oversees.
while his brother, Prince Ludwig, acts
as host of the hotel. All guests are re-
quested to leave on the last day Of Au-
gust. The house is then filled with
scores of poor teachers. artists and au-
thors. invalid soldiers and poorly paid
clergymen. whom the royal brothers
have formally invited to honor then,
with a visit. The money made during
the summer is devoted to their enter
tainment. The duke and prince remain
In the house. lavishing kindness and
courtesy upon their guests.

DuN.s REVIEW or TRADE.

and Industrial Circles,

Continued Improvement In Commercial
and Industrial Circles.
New York. Nov. 2l.-R. q. Dun & Co.
in their weekly review of trade say:
The gain In volume OF business continues
entirely without precedent. More than
$50 establishments have started work since
the election which were idle, and at least
800 have increased working force. Every
day thus adds thousands to the number Of
those who are able to buy weeks sup
plies and then make up gradually for many
months Of enforced economy. Already this
brings great increase In the volume OF
business, and the clearing house exchanges,
for the first time in several years, not only
exceed those Of last year by 10 per cent,
but also exceed those OF the same week in
1892 by per cent. Business men are all
anxious to prevent anything like the fic-
titious excitement Of last summer, and in
nearly all branches an excessive rise In
prices Is prevented. But with more hands
at work there is Inevitably greater de-
naand FOR supplies. materials and products.
The speculative markets have been re-
acting. which is also natural Wheat had
risen with wonderful rapidity, SO that ex-
ports had been checked by the higher
prices. and realizing started break which
made the close sN lower for the week The
demand for freight room. both here and on
the Pacific coast. IL still so large as to dis
close an extraordinary foreign demand.
Cotton has declined from 8 to 1852 cents
In spite Of the starting Of many cotton
mills. and the controlling fact for the
moment Is that reports of yield smaller
than 10000 bales are now entirely dis
credited. The quantity coming into sight
has exceeded last years by 500, 900 bales. and
1t is not expected that the decrease in the
remaining months of the year will bring
the aggregate below S.5O0.000 The export
demand does not abate. although tenn
porarily checked while prices were above
cents and the increase Of 50, 400, 600 in value
of cotton exported in October contributed
more than any other single item to make
the aggregate exceed that of the same
month In any previous year.
In a transition period industries record
gains slowly. but the slight decline In
prices Of Bessemer pig iron and of finished
products of iron and steel is partly due to
realizing on speculative purchases before
the election, and partly to the selling Of
nails by jobbers below the combination
price. For most manufactured products
Of iron there is a better demand and a slow
advance in prices.

against lH.l78 last year, but while the
works have orders for some time ahead.
neither manufacturers nor dealers are dis
posed to do much because OF the uncer-
tainty about prices, those OF bolts and

have been asked whether ever re-

aires in open envelopes, with halfpen-
ny stamps, and what think of tho
practice on the part of the millionairee,
says London Truth. It is not often tina:
am privileged to receive invitations
from millionaires under any circum-
stances, but it is remarkable fact that
I have had such an invitation addressed
to me at the halfpenny rate Of postage,
and as others have had similar exc
perience suppose that millionaires Is
a class have weakness for halfpenny
postage stamps. Probably this weak
ness has something to do with their
having become or remained million
aires.
A worse failing on the part Of mill
lionaires Of which have experience is
that they occasionally ask their friends
to dinner and sit them down to meal
quite unfit to eat. Personally. I would

it on the dinner. So far as the invita-
ton is concerned, there may possibly
be many people who, when invited to
the houses of millionaires, would wish
the fact widely known and would pre-
fer, it possible, that the invitation.
should be sent on postcard, SO that ak
who run may read. Perhaps it is FROM
this kindly motive rather than from
parsimony that millionaires patronize

The Year ON the River.

Navigation on the Mississippi river
is practically at an end, although the
government lights be kept burning un-
til the end of the week. All the raft
boats have gone iuto winter quarters,
and the Roberts Hams, which plies be-
tween Winona and Fountain City, is
the only steamer now running. The
record shows that 1850 boats, 1.O98
RATS and 934 barges have passed
through the bridge at Winona during
the year. The figures for 1895 were:
3,745 boats, 1925 RATS and 1,444 barges.
The falling off in business is due to the
reduction in cut of the sawmills along

MINNESOTA STATE NEWS.
Five Railways Indicted.

It developed in the criminal branch
OF the Ramsey county district court
that the recent grand jury found in
dictments against Eve railroads for re-
fusing to live up to chapter 149 Of the
laws of 1895. The chapter is known as
the warehouse law, and provides that
railroads must turn over to any prop
erly licensed warehouseman on appi-
cation, any freight which remains un-
called for in the roads possession for a
period of 20 days. The law provides
that the warehouseman shall pay the
railroad charges and, after keeping the
property for certain length of time,
may sell it for charges and what more
he can obtain.
The complainant is James A. Lewis.
The only witness examined before the
grand jury was w. H. Thurston. The
cases are brought for the purpose of
testing the law, these being the first
complaints which have been fled since
the law was passed. There is great
difference of opinion in regard to the
constitutionality of the law, the attor-
neys for the railroads claiming that it
is ridiculous.

Confessed His Guilt.


Rev. James C. Hull, the Methodist
preacher charged with poisoning his
wife, broke down during his trial at st.
Paul and confessed his guilt. The
county attorney suggested that it was
Hull and not his wife who was unbal-
anced, and in view of these circum-
stances, which were concurred in by
the court, Hull was sentenced to six
years in the state prison at Saltwater.
The climax of the case was worked up in
a mastery manner by County Attorney
Butler It hung upon letter written
by Hull to Rev. I. L. Spencer, Of Fer
nando, CAL, in February last, in which
Hull stated that his wife was suffering
from cancer, and that she already had
an operation performed. and ,ntimating
that she would probably die at any
time. 1t showed beyond question. that
he was preparing the way for the time
when his wife should be dead with the
effect of the poison which he was adj
ministering. Hull was caught in a
trap, and when it was sprung he adj
mitted his guilt and everything was
laid bare.

Trouble About Game

The winter game season is on, and
among hunters, commission men and
comman carriers, in which the state
game wardens are the bogie men. The
most closely watched are packages
which might contain venison, upon
which the season is open for six days
longer, and the express companies are
so angered over seizures and searches
made that some of them have asserted
through their agents that they will re-
sist the game wardens in the future
and carry the matter to the courts.
