CHUMMED WITH WALL.
The appointment of Wicklifs Re
calls a Funny Incident.

The appointment of Wieklifs Re-
calls a Funny Incident.
New York, June ia social writer
in the Journal today gives publicity to
the following:
Wickliffe Preston, the Kentuckian,
who has been slated for United States
consul at MarseiIles, is not entirely I'M
known in New York. He read law for
a time in the office of VIM. c. Whitney,
and, as he represented the Blue Book
of the Blue Grass and had some money
besides, Gotham took to him kindly.
AS a result of that experience, Preston
came to know all the prize chappies in
the early eighties.
About that time Berry Wall was
planning to paralyze the world of fash
ion by the number of his trousers and
the eff1orescence of his Waistcoats and
when he had accomplished his purpose
and had been crowned king of the
dudes, Wickliffe Preston was so chun-
my with the new monarch and esteem
ed his friendship of so much value that
he invited King Berry to come down to
Lexington and visit him.
AS Berry had something of the spirit
OF Alexander in him and was signing
for new worlds to conquer, he accepted.
Kentucky had never seen anything like
Berry. He changed his clothes four
times every day by the clock, and there
was a languid superiority about him
that was simply irresistible. He was
a bowling success from the start, and
Lexington hasn't quite quit talking
about that visit yet. One afternoon
the beaux' and bellies of the Blue Grass
were invited by Major Mcdowell to
come out to Ashland, the old home of
Henry Clay, to play tennis and have
dinner.
To King Berry this meant two suits
of clothes, one for tennis and one for
dinner. He didn't know that Ken
lucky laws of dress were not so mex
ordered his valet to bring along his
evening raiment- When the tennis
playing was at an end and the ladies
had repaired to the house to dress for
dinner Berry became very uneasy. No
body had said anything about place
in which to change apparel, and the
more he studied the situation the more
it became apparent that Kentucky hos
pitality had lost a cog or else the bar
barism of dining in tennis toys was
about to be perpetrated.
He couldn't understand it at all, and
finally sought advice of a young Ken
tuckian as to what he should do. The
latter was a bit of a wag, and told him
that the only thing possible under the
circumstances was to repair to a clump
of bushes on the lawn and change his
clothes in their friendly shelter. Berry
did it.
And now If you were to visit Licking
ton and ask to see the sights of the
town and the vicinity, they would show
you the monument of Henry Clay, drive
you to the grave of LongfelloW and
point out the spot where Berry Wall
changed his clothes on the lawn at
Ashland.

Of London, and three other capitalists.
who are natives of France and do not
speak English, were passengers on the
Southwestern express which reached
Pittsburg over the Pennsylvania rail
road today. They continued to st.
Louis and from there will go south.
Mr. West, when spoken to, was rather
reticent in regard to the party's mission
in this country, although admitting that
they represented a syndicate of English,
German, French and Belgian capital
lists, which is buying up mining and
other properties in this country. He
said they controlled from 5000, 900 to
$4,000, 900, portion of which had al
ready been invested in Tennessee phos-
plate mines and other property in that
section of the United States.
I'VE are on our way to look over
some coal mines in the Birmingham,
Ala, district" said Mr.. West, and will
view other promising investments. 1
do not think any of our capital will be
placed in Pittsburg or in Pennsylvania.
The south, though developed less than
the north, offers better inducements"

Before this she had been in the best of
health, happy and in the best of spirits. She
began to fall away and became pale and

walk unsupported. The best of physicians
attended her, but she continued to grow
weaker and seemed to be gradually fading

ninety pounds, aud the doctors said it was

FROM BEER TO BEET SUGAR
Milwaukee Brewers Go in With J. J.
Hagerman for Plant in Pecos
Valley.

Milwaukee, Wis, June 19.-MilwauI1ee
brewers are going to branch out in the
sugar refining business. 1t was learn
ed here today that Captain Fred Pabst
Of the Pabst Brewing company and
August Uihlein of the Schlitz Brewing
company are at the head of a COM
pany in which J. ]. Hagerman and
other Colorado mine owners are inter-
ested, for the manufacture of beet SUI
gar.
1t is reported that the brewers have
invested heavily in the new enterprise,
which is to be esta blished at Eddy, n.
NJ. The plant will be in the Pecos
valley, very fertile country, which is
said to be especially adapted for grow
ing sugar beets. Gustave Pabst of the
Pabst brewery says that the capacity
of the new plant will be 200 tons of SUI
gar a year. He says that those inter-
ested in the company are confident of
its success, because the beets contain
from to II per cent sugar, while in
germany beet sugar is being success
fully refined from beets containing only
to per cent.

DUN & co. SIGHT THE WAVE
Evidence of Enlarging Business in
Every Department.

New York, June 1s.-R. C. Dun & Co.
weekly review says:
The retarding influence of cold and I'M
settled weather has passed. The gain in
business in spite of it was seen a week
ago and has become clearer to all as no
genuine improvement ever begins with
an uplifting of prices before the produc-
ing force has become fairly employed,
this does not, and the buying of 1000 bales
of Australian wool by one Boston house
and 100000 tons of pig iron by a Wall
street operator, and advancing prices for
stocks, are the only proof that the actual
conditions are understood by some capa-
BILE men. There is evidence of gradually
charging business in every important de-
partment, more establishments have been
set at work and the progress toward bet
ter things is unchecked. Reports from
the various cities this week show a very
general progress and a continuing large
distribution through retail trade. The
proof is clearer, as it should be, in the
industrial than in the trading field. Con-
tracts providing for consumption of seven
million tons OF iron ore have already been
made, two million within the past fort
night.
Reaction after the sudden purchase of
50, 600 tons of Bessemer at Pittsburg leaves

one of magnitude at Philadelphia and
several at New York, the larger demand
for plates and sheets, the order for p
miles of pipe, and the purchases of steel
rails which have started the new Joliet
works with good orders are far more i'm
portant than the speculation in materials.
In produce markets the year draws to-
ward a close with slightly stronger prices
for corn. owing to heavy foreign buying
and in cotton, owing to a better foreign

reduced receipts and Atlantic exports.
In two weeks of June Atlantic exports of
wheat and -four have been equal to 4,977, 653
bushels, against 6,21O8 23 last year.

PROBLEM OF ARID LANDS.
mr. Shafroth is Working to Get the
Question Before the Whole People

Washington, June 19.-Representatfve
Shafroth will Monday introduce a bill
ceding all arid lands to the state in
which they are situated
He says that he wants to get the
matter out so that it will be talked
about and so that all persons interest
ed, neither they live in the east or
the vest, will be ready to consider the
question when opportunity is given.
He says that the United States must
either turn these lands over to the
states or improve them. The general
government will never improve the
lands by building reservoirs and irri-
eating canals. so it must be left to the
states. Mr.. ShafrOth believes that as
soon as the conditions are known in the
east, the representatives of that sec
ton Will no longer insist that the great
bodies of arid lands shall be held in
useless waste when they might be made
profitable to the people.

SAVED BY A WORD
Charles w. SpaIding on Trial
For EmbezzIement
Of the Funds of the University
of Illinois.
FREE ON ONE COUNT.
There Are Still % Indictments
Pending Against Him.
The Prisoner Expresses Sur
prise at the Verdict.
FREE ON ONE COUNT:

Chicago, Ill, June 19.-Charles W.
SpaIding, ex-president of the Globe
Savings bank and ex-treasurer of the
state university, has been acquitted of
the charge of embezzlement. The YER
dict was a general surprise, as the in
structIons of the court to the jury left
scarcely any chance for acquittal. The
first words uttered by SpaIding after
the verdict had been read in court were:
"Weu, this is a surprise"
The specific charge against him was
the converting of $1,000 worth of bonds
OF the Pittsfield school district, in Pike
county. These bonds were hypothecat-
ed with the Metropolitan National bank
of this city as security for a loan of
$3.50.
Spalding owes his acquittal to a sin
gle word in the statute. That word is
interest" The jurors could not be-
come recOnciled to the proposition that
the ex-treasurer of the University of
Illinois Intentionally enbezZled the
bonds of that institution. Six ballots
were taken by the jury, the first and
second being four for conviction and
eight for acquittal. Three voted for
conviction on the third ballot, two on
the fourth and fifth and all for acquit-
tai on the sixth. After being taken
back to jail Spalding said:
Il must admit that it did surprise
me some at first. After ALL the jury
took the view of it urged by my coun-
sci, and as the prosecution showed no
criminal intent, the jury was bound to
acquit me-"
There are still q indictments hanging
over him and he will be tried again.

ENCOURAGING FEATURES.
Bradstreet Notes Increased Orders
for Staple Goods.

New York, June 19.-Bradstreet's says
today:
There are encouraging features this
week in the general situation, the most
conspicuous of which is increased orders
for staple goods for fall delivery in
few lines notably clothing, which, at Chi
cago, Baltimore and a few other centers,
promise to exceed the movement of a
year ago. The more cheerful feeling
among manufacturers of iron and steel
is based in part upon a revival in de-
mand. A moderate increase in the de-
mand for foreign woods is the specula-
tive outcome of the increased probability
of an early settlement of the tariff ques-
ton. Prices this week did not carry out
the last weeks promise of a general ad-
vance. There are lower quotations for
tea and coffee, -four, wheat and oats,
Bessemer pig and for steel billets, and
unchanged prices are reported for naval
stores; lumber petroleum, pork and SUI
gar, and in addition to a nominal advance
in anthracite coal, the only noteworthy
gains for the week are for cotton, print
cloths, northern pig iron at Chicago and
southern pig at Birmingham.

BOUQUETS FOR M'KINLEY.
Mill Hands Pin Flowers on a Picture
of the President When the
Mill Starts Up.

Portsmouth, O., June 19.-The Ports
mouth Fire Brick company has notified
its employees that the plant is to run
full time. When the hands learned
this they all bought bouquets on the
morning that the mill started on full
capacity and pinned them on a picture
of President Mckinley that has been
hanging in the dryroom.
The company has more orders than It
has had for years, and as the fire brick
business is a good indication of what is
going on in the iron and steel trade Gas
a great deal of this brick is used in lin
ing furnaces), this is another evidence
of the return of prosperity.
