Baby Again at Ten,

Ten-year-old Mamie Owens, of this village,
says the Philadelphia Record, is for the sec
ond time in her life learning to walk and talk
Several months ago the child was run down
by a bicyclist. Her brain was injured and
she was unconscious for a week. When she
recovered sensibility it was found that she
had relapsed into rbabyhood. She had to be
taught to talk like a baby, beginning with
papa" and mama" She was taught to
creep, too. Now she is able to make her
wants known and can walk few steps. Her
general health seems to be good.

NEW YORK DRY GOODS.

NEW YORK, Aug. 25.-The dry goods mar
ket is generally firm in all departments,
though the demand for staple cotons is less
pronounced, so far this week, than was the
case this time last week. Wooden goods and
dress goods of all sorts quite firm and in
active demand. The business passing in
business .centers is quite heavy, the presence
of many buyers keeping jobbers busy day by
Gay. In staple cottons there are no further
advances of note and the demand is only
fairly sustained on brown and bleached goods.
There is, however, less inclination to object
to prices shown by buyers, and were it not
for the exceedingly firm position of sellers
trade would result. Print cloths are very
firm at Fall River. The sales of $4,000 extras
at 25s cents for September delivery have slim
ulated bidders to come forward with renewed
requests for futures at that price, which were
steadily refused. Odd goods are firm. Prints
are very strong, with an increased demand
for fancies and low grade staples. The ex-
pectation of advances have stimulated bust
ness in these lines.

Circular No. 434-It having been made
known to this commission that the rail-
road authorities east of the Mississippi
river have established certain cut rates
from "seaboard territory to Texas com
mon points," effective May "a, 1897: and
Whereas, We are informed and believe
that these rates are to be followed by like
reductions of rates from st. Louis and
other outside cities to Texas common
points; and
Whereas, A recent act Of the legisla-
ture of Texas authorizes this commission,
when it is deemed necessary to protect
our own people and railroads against the
evil effects of rate wars, to meet such
reductions; and
Whereas, Such cut rates are in the
interest of the jobbers of st. Louis and
other outside merchants and cities. and
are always detrimental to the interest of
our own people, merchants and railroads:
Now, therefore, all railroads doing BUSH
ness in this state are warned that any
reduction of rates from st. Louis and
other outside cities to Texas common
points will be met by similar reduction
of rates in Texas on all lines in this state
participating in said reduced rates on
interstate shipments.
