DRY GOODs.

New York, Sept. 12-The rapid pace at
which prices have advanced in the dry
goods market this week particularly in
bleached cottons, has had an effect on the
demand to-day a generally quiet market
being reported in staple cottons The UNI
expected decline in the cotton market fol-
lowing the abnormally bad bureau report
Of the crop has also probably had some
thing Of a queting influence over buyers.
From the sellers point of view there is no
loss of strength in the situation. The bus
mess done this week has been liberal
enough to relieve the market from any
pressure of unsold stocks, and there is no
apprehension of failure to at least fully
maintain the gains in prices already made.
In prints the tendency of the market is
upward for staple goods and advances on
some important lines are looked for short
ly. Staple ginghams are also strong with
limited supplies

A CHINESE swEETHEART,s GIFT.
They May BE sausage or Even vege-
tables, But Never Candy.
From the San Francisco Call

From the San Francisco Call.
All Leen is a good little girl who lives
in the Presbyterian mission, away from
the pomp and vanities of all this wicked
world. Every Sunday, however, she goes
religiously to church along with the other
girls who have been rescued by the kind
hearted ladies of the occidental board.
The passing of this procession is an oppor-
tunfty eagerly seized by the eligible bach
elors of Chinatown, who turn out en-
masse and line the sidewalks along the
route, each good one cherishing the inten-
tions Of seeing Miss Culbertson for the
hand Of the girl who strikes his fancy
most.
One gay and sprlghtly bachelor was par
ucularly struck couple of months ago
by the beauty Of All Leen. He watched
the procession pass with eyes only for her
and when she had entered the sacred edi-
nee, instead of resigning himself to go
home, he made mighty effort to over
come the prejudces Of early education
and followed her into the church. From
that date change has come over the
bachelor. He no longer burns punk at
the shrines of his countrymen, nor does
he dissipate money in having his fortune
told; In fact, he has become in every way
worthy of All Leen, to whom he is soon to
be united.
Courtship, as II Is understood in Chinese
circles, Is somewhat tame and practical
anair. There IS regular routine at the
mission, in which a compromise Is made
between American and Chinese customs.
The bridegroom-elect may see his future
bride, he may even converse with her from
opposite sides of the room, but the pro-
prieties would be completely outraged II
the bctrothed couple were to shake hands.
Two or three times a week the iiance
makes a call from nve to ten minutes In
duration and ~ he is desperately enam-
ored he never goes empty handed.
Sansages are a gift that are highly APP
preciated and Chinese vegetables arc also
muck esteemed. Fruit is frequently
brought to the engaged ladies' both In the
Presbyterian and Methodist missions, but
Ii would outrage Monaghan etiquette 10
bestow candy. The love-making is gem
orally monosyllabic on the part Of the
young lady and even the man finds his
gifts Of conversation languish. At the
Presbyterian mission a charming young
Chinese girl named All Cheng, profess
sional interpreter, satisfies etiquette Dy
being present during all the interviews
Many Chinese merchants have offered 10
lay their hands and hearts at All Cheng
feet. but she has seen so much OF love-
making as an onlooker that she refuses 70
go through the ordeal Of entering iancs
on her account. Even the touching ro-
nance OF All Leen has not inclined ths
little interpreter to follow her example

OF commons to-day that the five lead
ers of the reform committee OF johann
neBburg u. S. Hammond, Francis
Rhodes. George Farrar, Lionel Philips
ana Charles Leonard), have been CON
demned 10 death.
Nfr. Chamberlain added that upon
hearing the news he cabled to the gov
ernor Of Cape Colony, Sir Hercules
Robinson, to communicate the follow
ing to President Kruger;
"The government has Just learned
that the sentence Of death has been
passed upon the fve leaders Of the re-
form coIp7nlttee. They can feel no
doubt tha your honor VIII commute the
sentence and have assured parliament
hoior's intention"
Mr.. John Hays hammond, one OF the
members Of the reform committee con-
denined TO death, Is an American.
The sentencing Of the members OF
the reform committee to death has
produced q great sensation in London,
especially in the streets. where the ex-
ira editions OF the afternoon newBpa-
pers with sensational headlines find a
quick sales. In well Informed circles,
however, the sentence has caused little
surprise, as the laws Of the Transvaal
prescribe death fdr high treason, and
the rpisOners, having pleaded guilty, the
Judge could only pronounce the sem
tence which the law provides
A dlsptach TO the Times states that
in addition to the sentence OF death
passed upon the leaders OF the reform
committee, sixty other members have
been sentenced to two years imprison-
ment, a fine Of 1000 punds and three
years subsequent banishment
The dispatch adds:
There is great excitement here Cn
