One Hundred Americans TO Go TO
Rome and Jerusalem.

New York, Jan. 1.-THE first American
national pilgrimage Of the New Year 10
Rome and Jerusalem will leave this city
two weeks from today, and the execu-
tive committee having charge Of the ar
rangements are busily engaged in COM
pleting the details. The number of pill
grims will exceed 100, and will include
an unusually large number of Catholic
priests. Cardinal Satolli was made ac-
quainted with the plans OF the pilgrim
age before leaving this country, and it
is understood that the eX-papal delegate
to the United States and Archbishop
Keane will present the American visit
ofs 20 the holy father. Particulars con-
corning the dress requirements for the
papal audience have been sent TO each
one Of the intending pilgrims. The la
dies are expected TO wear "a black dress,
the head 10 be covered by a veil of black
brussels or lace, two or two n one
half yards in length, draped from the
head and hanging over the shoulders
and down the back, but not covering the
face. All bright colors are TO be avoid
ID. For gentlemen the requirements are
full dress, but pilgrims who may find
this inconvenient may appear in a suit
of black clothes or black coat and vest
with white tie. Neither women o
men are permitted TO wear gloves in the
presence Of the pope.
The depositing in the Church of the
Holy Sepulcher, in Jerusalem, Of a
United States flag, the badge Of the pill

GET A LITTLE CASH.
Big Drunk Due on the Crow Creek
Reserve.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE Crow Creek
Sioux delegation of South Dakota has
not gained its announced object of Sc
curing a per capita cash payment of
$lS7 900, less than $500 for expenses,
O to their credit in the treasury, but
they have secured a payment of about
81 or s. per capita, representing half OF
the accrued interest on the money. The
delegates, White Ghost and VIII, with
their interpreter and Agent Treon, had
a final consultation with Commissioners
of Indian Affairs Browning, yesterday
afternoon. They recited the clrcum-
stances leading up to the Sioux treaty
of 1890 by which they gave up certain
lands and for which an act was passed
giving them s1S7, 900. Commissioner
Browning explained hat the money is
now in the treasury drawing l per cent
interest, and that payment must be au-
thorized by legislation by congress and
then ordinarily only upon a representa-
ton that the ndian need the money.
He suggested that there is a little time
left in the present session and that the
matter be dropped for the time being.
Payment of one-half Of the SO, 900 inter
est now due them on the principal, the
other half being reserved by law for ed
vocational and similar purposes, vas Of
fered and accepted. The delegates will
leave for their reservation Saturday
and the tribe will petition the next con-
gress for the payment of the principal.

BELIEVE IN CONTINUAL PRAYER
Michigan Man Charged With Whip
ming His Wife for ScofinR at Him.

Owosso, Mich, Jan. 2.-CharleS Hol-
nan of New Haven township entertains
some peculiar religious views, n
among others he regards ii as his sacred
duty TO chastise his wife If she neglects
to pray whenever he commands her to
do SO.
About one year & Charles informed
his wife that in his opinion she did not
spend enough time in prayer, where
upon she replied that If he spent more
time In hustling for work and less time
praying his family would suffer less
from hunger and cold. The insinuation
was more than the husband could stand
and he severely chastised his wife and
spent ninety days in the Detroit house
OF correction. on his return he called
on the prosecuting attorney ard wanted
to hold an afternoon prayer meeting in
his office, but as il happened to be the
prosecutors busy day Holman was
kicked out.
His religious ardor was somewhat
cooled, and he has behaved fairly well
until last Sunday, when he beat his wife
numerically because she refused TO ac-
cept his Interpretation of the scriptures.
He was arrested Wednesday and his
trial set for today. Meanwhile Holman
is conducting a series Of revival meet
ings in the county Jail.

A UNIVERSAL CONFIDENCE
That Business viii Now Commence

Favorable Reports From Trade Cen.
ters--Heavy Exports OF Flour

disc Large Orders.
New York, Jan. 2,-Bradstreets

New York, Jan. 2.-Bradstreets
today;
General trade has been rather more
quiet, and this week proves one of the
dullest of the dull season which has fol.
lowed the fortnight Of revived demand
early in November. The uneasiness last
week caused by Northwestern bank fail.
ures is continued by similar embarrass.
ments at Chicago and Minneapolis.
These bank failures seem to be the out
come of conditions originating In the
banks and not due to the situation of
general trade.
Unreasonable weather, the marking
OF inventories and the customary alb
sence of demand in wholesale lines, have
combined to produce more than the usu-
al holiday dullness. More favorable re-
ports include heavy exports of flour and
general merchandise from Tacoma to
China and Japan. the receipts at Chi
cage of a satisfactory amount OF orders
for dry goods for spring delivery and an
increased total volume of business in
1896 among St. Louis shoe manufactur-
ers and jobbers Of dry goods as COM
pared with 1895.

the United States in 1896 in which liza
bilities exceeded assets number 1912,
an increase of 10 per cent over 1895,
when the total increase, = per cent COM
pared with 1894, in which year failures
fell off IS per cent from 1893, when the
total was IL, $50, the largest on record.
Total liabilities of those failing in 1896
amounted to S247. 900. 600, So per cent
more than last year and So per cent
more than in 1894, being exceeded only
by total liabilities in the year 1898
s402, 600, 900. The ratio of assets to liza
bilities among those failing in 1896 was
60 per cent, an evidence of an unusual
ly high rate of mortality, which is ex-
ceeded only by the corresponding eX-
hibit for 1898. The commercial rate
was in 1896 l.4l per cent, by which it Is
meant that l.41 of every 100 individuals,
firms and corporations in business last
year failed. This death rate was ex-
ceeded only by that in 1898, when it was
1.5l per cent. In 1895 the commercial
death rate was 1.23 and in 1884 1.21 per
cent.
There were 2,179 business failures re-
ported from the Dominion of Canada
for 1896, IN increase Of 1903. The larger
proportion of the gain is accounted for
by an increase of $50 business failures
in Ontario, twenty-one in the Province
of Quebec and forty-one in Nova Scotia.
The increase of about Ia per cent in
the number of business failures in the
dominion is accompanied by a gain Of
only Z per cent in aggregate liabilities.
which in 1896 amounted to 16,20S 900.

composed Of the Sixth, Twelfth and

companies. commanded by Lieutenant
Colonel William T.. Fitch, the process
sion moved TO the capitol, where the
governor-elect was received in the ex-
ecutive chamber and welcomed by Gov
ernor Levi p. Morton and staff. After a
brief interchange Of courtesies the in
augural procession moved TO the assem-

to suffocation. After the rendering Of a
patriotic air an invocation was offered
by Right Rev. William Croswell Doane,
bishop of the diocese. Governor Nor

Still Insist on Protection.

Huron, Jan. 2.-Dentists throughout
the state are calling attention of the
legislature to the necessity of a law pro-
tecting the profession-and the general
public-against travelling tooth ar
penters." In an address to the general
assembly the dentists pray that citi-
Gems may be protected from the IMPOSE
ton of incompetent dentists and the
wholesale destruction of valuable teeth
and prevent the itinerant and so-called
painless quack who cares for nothing
except to rob citizens of their money
and give little or nothing in return"
There are scores of people in South
Dakota whose experience with the class
referred to has been anything but plea
SAINT. 1t is probable the legislature VIII
give attention to the petition and not
only enact laws for favorable to them
but also embodying measures that will
protect the medical profession and the
public against the too frequent visits OF
self-constituted specialists"

ADVISED TO PLEAD GUILTY.
Irish Dynamiters Will Not he Ac-
Quilted.

New York, Jan. civilian Lyman.
president OF the Irish National alliance,
has received a long letter purporting TO
come from Charles Russell Of the firm OF
Russell a. Day, solicitors for Ivory, the al
legged dynamiter. The letter sets forth
that in the opinion of the counsel. Carson,
Taylor and Ivory should plead guilty, as
they undoubtedly will be convicted IL
tried. and their sentences might be light
ened. 1t was stated that Ivory would act
only on Lyman's advice or consent.
Mr.. Lyman says he cannot understand
why such a communication should have
been sent to him: that he knows very lit
tie about Ivory, and is anxious to aid only
because he believes him to be absolutely
innocent of the charge brought against
him, n as a true Irishman, he would not
undertake to advise a man about some
thing of which he had no knowledge.
Lyman further states that counsel and
witnesses from this side would be on hond
for the trial.
