WAKE OF FRIDAYS STORM.
boat H~uses and Summer Hotels Swept
Away-Wind Blew at 20 Miles an
Hour-Ohe Hundred Houses I'm
rooted IN Chester, Pa.

New York, Dec. 27.-Last nights storm
at Long Branch was one of the severest
that has been experienced there in many
years The wind blew a gale for over an
hour and played havoc with the ocean
front. More than 20 of the Atlantic boat
houses were swept out to sea. Another
big cut was made in the big bluff in front
of Chelsea avenue running north and
south fully three feet and extending back
over the ocean driveway to the lawn, COM
pletely cutting off vehicle travel on that
thoroughfare. Many of the small paw
lions that dot the ocean front were de-
molished by the wind. Innumerable trees
were uprooted as Pleasure Bay The roofs
on several hotels were blown Off. 1t Is
estimated that the storm did $4,000 dam
age at Rockaway.
The buildings on Hig Island at Far
Rockaway were nearly all wrecked. The
wind drove the sea over the ISLAND and
nearly submerged II.
At Tarrytown the wind blew at the rate
of about 10 miles on hour. new frame
building on Cortland street. valued at
$2j00 was blown down on a little building
occupied as the North Tarrytown postof-
flee. crushing in part of the root of the
latter building The postmaster, James
Swift. who was asleep in the Office, es-
capped death by almost a miracle. "A large
number of trees on the highways were
buildings were blown off.

1T WAS CHRISTMAS WEEK
CONSEQUENTLY WHOLESALE TRADE
WAS LIGHT.
A Hopeful Outlook For the Coming Years
Business-An Increased Number of
Business Failures New England n
Prosperous Section

New York, Dec. 27.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say:
As Is the rule in Christmas week. whole
sale trade has been quiet. The holidays
the close of the year and stock taking
tend to make business slow and promise
only light trade until late in January.
At various cities notably New York, Bos-
ton, Baltimore and Chicago, anticipations
as to the character of trade early in the
coming year are hopeful but it remains
to be seen whether the downward move
ment of demand and prices, and the delay
In putting the currency on a. sound asis
all of which have begun to show them
selves in trade conditions will permit of as
early and marked gains in staple lines of
trade in 1896 as have been confidently an
ticipated. Business failures in the country
for the completed year number 20l3 an
increase of more than two per cent not
witbstanding the second year following
the panic, in which, as shown by the
records 1t Is usual for the number of fail
ures to decline. The increase of three
per cent In number Is accompanied by a
gain of six per cent i'm liabilities of those
railing, and the commercial death rate
which averaged 10 in every 100 in bust
ness during five years from 1890 to 1884,
inclusive ana ranged as high as 1.50 in
the panic of 1898. down to LII In 1894 has
risen to 1.23 of every 100 i'm business this
year. The increases i'm the number of
failures are at the west, northwest, and
in the middle States, decreases being
shown in New England a the South and
on the Pacific coast. The percentage of
assets to liabilities has arisen from SO per
cent. last year TO nearly Sc per cent, as
contrasted with 10 per cent. in the year
1893.
Bank clearing totals are favorable; the
aggregate 81, liJ, 100000 while 1t Is 80 per

S9S-GARRICK COAT.

Sizes from 81 80, 80, and 10 Inches Bust
Measure.
Despite the elaborate and varied styles
of dress, the tailor-gown is con-
sidered the most correct thing for many
occasions. Our model the "Garrck" coat
and "Waldron" skirt combined forms one
of the smartest designs. for which broad
walled serge in warm brown shade Is
used. The coat is double breasted, fitting
the figure trinity in the back. The seams
of the model are piped with black velvet,
but this may be omitted if preferred. The
cuffs and revers have two-inch facing
of velvet and are embroidered with gold
soutachc which covers the cloth part and
extends in Il narrow border upon the vel
vet.
A special Illustration and full directions
about the pattern will be found on the en-
velope in which 1t is enclosed.

A Lesson to Brio a-brac Buyers.

A collector of bric-a-brac lately paid
dearly for his hobby. He took fancy to
an antique vase in "a shop.
The dealer said he would lot him have
1t for IS, but added that, had he the vase
to match, the pair would be cheap at $50.
The collector, however, declined to buy
the odd one. Some days later he happened
to be walking in another part of London
and saw In curiosity shop n vase the fell
low, apparently, of the one no had lately
declined to buy. After feverish bargain
the dealer parted with this vase for 910.
Elated with joy, the purchaser drove to
the other shop to secure the first vase, only
to learn that it had been sold for GO to
dealer a few days previously. 1t was, in
fact, the very article he had just bought.

A Literary Tragedy.

Twas ilattering note
That the editor wrote
To the poet Of lowly station:
ave are glad to say
In our usual way,
That your poems accepted
Our rules are, Pay
Only on publication"
Then, day by day,
Till his hair grew gray,
That poet of lowly station,
All lean and lone,
To the world unknown,
Waited the word
From the EDITORS throne-
Waited for publication!
And when at last
From tho world he passed
I've hope to higher stationh
The editor great,
From his throne Of state,
Said: 1.-THE poor mans gone
Through the golden gate.
It's strange that these fellows
Can never wait
For pay on publication"
