For $25 Cash.

Mrs. Hannah Robinson of 621 West
Forty-fifth street, New York, went to
Lawyer Greenthal to have him draw

lived a widow, Mrs. Jennie Grey. AL
though Mrs. Grey, t hear Mrs. Rob-
i1son tell it, is short, fat and ugly,
Robinson showed a decided preference
TO her yer his own lawful spouse.
This did not disturb Mrs. Robinson
in the least. In fact, she looked on
with great equanimity. But she con-
Guided that if she was to be deprived Of
her husbands love add affections she
was entitled to some compensation.
So she offered to sell her husband to
Mrs. Grey for $25. This seemed to
Mrs, Grey a reasonable price for a de-
slrable husband and she accepted the
proposition. Together the two wo-
men wont to a notary and had him
draw up a bill of sale transferring
John Robir sen, his love, devotion and
effects, from Mrs. Hannah Robinson
to Mrs. Jennie Grey. The paper was
signed and the money handed over.
Next day. however, Mrs. Robinson
regretted her bargain and wanted her
husband back. But Mrs. Grey would

wounded heart before the attorney and
asked his assistance in procuring a
divorce. The papers in the case are
being prepared.

He QUEERED THE BAND.
All the Bad Boy Did Too Was to Suck
a Lemon in Front of Them.

Did you ever, in the spirit of friski-
ness, such a lemon in full gaze of the
mebmers OF the Electric band, while
they were engaged in rendering those
sweet, seductive strains for which
they have become noted? Well. don't.
Nor before any other band, for it may
not be such a scratches escape as a
boy met with who figures as a princi-
pal in a story a friend relates.
1t was when the little German
band was playing for drinks before
saloons and incidentally picked up
some small coin of the realm at other
business houses. In front of the
Demmler shop they started to tear
"Wacht Am Rhine to pieces. They
Jared pretty well. and had switched off
to Sweet Rosy O'Grady,' when a boy
who had evidently been put up to the
trick, made his appearance, and
q lemon, and at his appearance a look
of disgust spread over the faces Of all
the members of the band. One by one
the musicians gradually and reluctant
ly dropped out of the game, until at
last there was only left the bass horn
player. He had to quit after a little
while. II was raining, and this, with
the lemon episode. rather combined to
PIT the bass horn player in Il bad
humor. He walked over to the boy,
and catching him by the ear, he
said; Wat for you come round here
NIT a lemon and kveered by a poy
mid dot tam lemon"
And there was subdued laughter in
a store near by as the German band
left for other worlds to conquer. 1t is
a fact slightly known that the presence
of any one sucking a lemon in front
Of a band win cause a panic, The
musicians mouth fills so rapidly with
saliva he cannot play-McKeesport

New York, Sept. 1S.--R. G.. Dun &

the end OF the pituminous coal strike

years each week and in two weeks
they were $4,000 bushels against
4 lOS, 900 last year and of corn 1895, 600
bushels against 1888, 600 last year. The
iron industry again shows an increas-

textile mills are more fully employed
than at any ether time for years,
though new buying is diminished in

still very good for the season and

New York, Sept. 1S.-Bradstreets'
weekly trade report says that not
withstanding the u~nseasonably warm
weather and the appearance of yellow
fever in the several of the gulf states
checking locally the distribution of
merchandise, business throughout the
country has increased more than an
~ticipated. The center of Improvement
is Chicago, which furnishes the most
favorable trade report within five
years. Advices from Kansas City.
Omaha, st. Paul and st. Louis also
reflect al activity in demand among
both buyers and wholesalers. The
settlement Of the bituminous coal
strike, The further raising of the tide
of demand for iron and steel products,
the withdrawal from the market Of
some of the manufactured woolens,
the extraordinary large bank clearings
and the reports that mercantile col
lectioua have improved o .titute the
features Of the week. Wheat exports
were very large and with one eNcep-
ton chat Of the second week in Sep
TENDER, 80 were the heaviest on rec
ord. The total shipments for the
week We're 6.3S0, 600 bushels, against
> 566, 600 bushels last year. Corn ex-
ports were 1901, 600 bushels, com,
pared with 2,394, 600 bushels last year.
