New Features that VIII Mako II tho Finest
One OF the Long Series.
The mask ball Of the Cercle Francais dc FHar-
monte at Madison Square Garden next Friday
night promises to eclipse all previous balls held
under the name of this society. For several
years the society have not attended closely to the
details Of their ANNUAL ball. They sold the privi-
lego to an outsider, who paid them large sum
for the use of the society's name. This year the
society will attend to all the details OF tho ball.
and tho managers promise to make 1t record
breaker.
Tho Cercle Francois de rHarmonie realized
after last years ball that the old-time French
ball was thing of the past Tho gay crowd
OF former years did not attend 1t. and 1t WAS
seen that unless extraordinary efforts were put
forth this year this ball would be probably tho
last one.
The managers of this years ball will see that
the persons who attend 1t will get their moneys
worth. They have engaged a troupe OF $50
pretty ballet dancers, who win perform several

North Dakota farmers state that only so per

the transactions. One report to the effect
that half million bushels had been sod to

Chicago market showed considerable excite
ment. May selling at one time at 63lh and then
half q million bushels for May at 65 cents. Oft
ford, one of the chronic bears at Chicago who
has been trying to stop the advance, threw up
100000 bushels. a fact which had not q little
to do with starting the rise.

THE STUFF HERE TO BURN.
Why the Damage Done by Even Small Farea
In New York IL Considerable.

Efficient as the New York Fire Department
is. the fire loss. even in small fires. is consd-
erable. The reason is that the stuff is here
to burn. Everything is compact. Every inch
of space in tho great buildings is filed with
articles of value. Where a whole building in
a smaller city may be used to store goods worth
500, 900. here less than a single floor may
hold a million dollars in merchandise. So 1t
happens that in the case of fires that are them
selves insignificant and are quickly extinguished
by the tremcn. the cash damage amounts to
more than the damage done by Il fire that would
be called great in other cities.
