most polished and fascinating of men
as he was also one of the most kind
hearted. He was a great discoverer OF
dramatic stars and always testified the
warmest and most disinterested friend

A BEAUTIFUL DEED.
How Gov Northern of Georgia Helped
an Embarrassed Woman.


an Embarrassed Woman.
A beautiful deed once performed by
Governor w. ]. Northern of Georgia
has found its way into print. The At
lanta Constitution relates It:
A patient-looking woman in a faded
poke bonnet and a homespun dress was
driving along Whtechapel street in a
dilapidated buggy drawn by lean and
jaded mule. The harness was a patch
work OF ropes and leather.
Then came a catastrophe. Suddenly
the mule stopped, and one Of the shafts
dropped-a piece Of harness was
broken. The woman gazed at the
wreck, with calamity written in her
face. For full a minute she surveyed it
without moving, and then looked
around for some friendly face. The
sidewalk was crowded with people, and
the street was full, bu; all were hurry
ing on, and no one paid the slightest
attention to the woman. Slowly she be-

fully accepted the offer, and stood by al
most trembling while he worked at the
broken harness. 1t was hard job, but
the gentleman was determined and
even got down on his knees that he
might get at the work better. Finally
the repairs were completed and the gen.
tleman stepped into his carriage and
drove out.
A man who was passing noticed the
almost fearful gratitude of the poor wo-
man. and stepping up to her he said:
DO you know who that was that fixed
your harness." The woman shook her
head. THAT was the governor OF the

BUSINESS IMPROVES.
Threatened Failures Prevented by Activ-
= rt4:r ity in Retail Trade.

j. New York, May 2.-R. G. Dun & Co.,
in their weekly review of trade, say:
LAS the season advances there is more
business, but advices indicate that on the
whole the prevalent feeling is that the
gain Is less than there was reason to ex-
pect, while retail trade has been active
enough to materially lessen stocks and OBJ
legations, and thus to prevent great many
threatened embarrassments. It has not
yet brought enough new business to mills
or factories to prevent decrease of untitled
orders and closing of some works. Sub
stanttally the same state of things exists
In all the great industries. notwithstand-
ing the strong combinations in some, and
evidence of inadequate consumption ap-
pears in the fact that the general range
of prices of commodities, farm and mine
as Well as manufactured products, is near
~ one per cent. lower than it was April I,
and the lowest ever known, the decline
since October. 1892 being 1857 per cent. Nor
can this be attributed to scarcity of money,
which Is easier and more abundant as the
liquidation Of many dealers lessons out
standing obligations. Foreign operations
have been Of no influence in American Sc
eurities, but shipments of silver have again
been large. Stocks have remained practi-
cally without change.
Speculation has raised cotton an eighth,
though receipts and crop prospects still
favor lower prices, and accumulated stocks
declined 4ss cents for cash. With only
/ two months of the crop year remaining
I there is little to encourage higher prices,
Silk has weakened little owing to the
overlooking of Japanese dealers. Wool is
weak, the wool year closing with the
greatest quantity Of wool on hand ever
carried at this season. Wooden goods have
not improved in demand, and fannels have
opened 5 to Is per cent. lower than last
year. Dress goods are helpedby the restric-
ton of foreign imports, but the association
reports that on the whole, wool machinery
is not more than half employed. Some
cotton mills have ceased production. There
is fair demand for boots and shoes, though
not enough to prevent gradual exhaustion
of orders untitled, but the only change in
prices has been slight advance in some
qualities. Leather is weaker. with a very
narrow demand. and quotations average
a shade lower, as do prices of hides.
1.-THE volume of domestic business shown
by clearings has been SIS, 900 daily in
April against SIS, 600 900 last year; 136, 000.-
900 in 1894; $751; 900 in 1888. and 1885, 900
in 1892. These figures show greater shrink
age than appeared in recent months. and
indicate that improvement is slow.
Failures for the week have been 23S in
the United States, against 2S1 last year, and
81 in Canada. against "a last year."
