DRY GOODS Markets.

New York, Dec. 21.-The general tone Of
41te dry goods market is hopeful, with
sellers in the main strong in the belief
that there will be increased sales for the
spring sales. Fairly satisfactory price
conditions prevail. In staple cottons the
bulk of the trading IS, of course, in the
bleached lines, which have lately been re-
duced, sellers being anxious TO fill up
stocks of these goods before the inventory
process is entered upon. For this reason
they are quite freely, to such an extent
that in some quarters leading bleached
cottons are quoted "at value" Brown
goods are thoroughly strong and in rela-
lively active request. In print cloths there
as still no sale of extras reported.

Halifax, N s. June 15.-At the session
of the National Council of Women of
Canada this afternoon, art was the first
subject considered. How to attract the
rank and file of federal societies." was the
subject of paper by Mrs Boomer of the
London council.
A discussion followed in which repre-
sentatlves OF Montreal, Ottawa and other
centres took part. 1t was thought it
would be we'll frequently to throw meet
ings OF the executive open to the society.
The Countess of Aberdeen endorsed this.
but at the same time she put in d word
for maintenance of the privacy of execu-
tive meetings
Miss May Wright Sewall of indianapolis
mentioned committee on information
which had been found useful. This COM
mittee and work is solely the imparting
OF knowledge. Members of societies, too,
are admitted to executive meetings with
a view Of increasing their interest. An
other thing, in Indianapolis care is taken
that the local council shall not duplicate
the work done by any individual society
and thus waste the energy or belittle the
society. This evening a public meeting
was held which was addressed by the
Countess of Aberdeen and others.

WHOLE ESTATE TO HUSBAND.
Mrs. Edwards Last Will Giving Mrs. Libby
$1,000 Has Been Disallowed.

The will of Nancy Edwards of Wind
ham which was written the night before
she died last April, and was contested
by her husband, Joseph Edwards, is dis
allowed. The decision was rendered by
Judge Peabody The will in question
gave a neice, Mrs. Marcia Libby of Saco,
1920, and the residue went to husband
of the testator.
The first will made several years ago,
which gives the husband the whole es-
tate, now stands. The case was of spec
ial interest because the contestant al
legged undue influence and fraud on the
part of Mrs. Libby and because of the
picturesque testimony of some Of the
20 witnesses summoned at the hearing.

Boston, June 15-In an interview to-
day Mr.. Arthur S. H. Hitchings of Rio
de Janeiro. a member of the South Amer
lean delegation at present in this city,
and representing the commercial associa-
ton of Rio de Janeiro, said:
Your Congress is putting through the
new tariff bill too hurriedly. The Amer
lean Congress should think of what they
are doing. Both Brazil and the United
States must bring down their tariffs, or
England will scoop the market. If Amer
lea will only reduce the tariff, | promise
you she will get our trade. Our people
are bound financially to European nations
and are paying the foreign debt four
times over in gold: but we have no debt
with American people and that is partly
why the people want to trade with her.
II England by importing free raw mate,
rails from us can make the goods we need
cheaper than the American manufactur-
ers. we shall be compelled to take her
products. If you can give us the goods
as cheap as England does you will get
our trade. 30

Senator rettlgrew,s Amendments.

Washington, June 15.-After Senator
Pettigrew's antitrust amendment to the
tariff bill, was laid on the table today he
gave notice of another amendment of the
same character in the shape of proviso
as follows:
THAT none of the increased rates of
duty provided for in this act shall apply
to any articles. or commodities, the sale
or manufacture of which is controlled
by trusts in this country"
:, Senator Chiffon of Texas, also offered
an antitrust amendment as follows:
or other person knowing that any article
or articles of like character to those up
on which duties are levied under this
act fare manufactured of their
sale controlled or their price affected by q
trust or combination shall send or trans
nit any such articles from one state
another such manufacturer, dealer or ca
rier shall upon conviction before any cir
cult court of the United States be
punished by imprisonment not more than
three years"
Senator Pasco gave notice of an amend
ment which differs from Senator Petit
grew S original amendment only in detail,
principally as to the means of proceeding
in court to determine the existence OF a
trust. One of the provisions requires the
court to determine whether trust proved
to exist affects the raw material or inn
ported article. In case the court finds an
article to be the subject of a trust the
Secretary of the Interior is to make an
order directing the customs officers to
permit its admission free of duty.

THEIR NAMES VARY.

Restaurant Walters VINO ARC Addressed
Differently Morning and Evening.
Some peopls have names which they re-
ceived in the ordinary way, and some have
names thrust upon them. and many watt
ers who are employed in different parts of
the city have several names, none of which
was given to them by the persons who
are usually vested with authority on that
point. Ludicrous situations and compli
cations have resulted from this cause.
There are number of down town res
taurants where the walters are supposed to
be French. They do speak that language
after a fashion and understand what is
said to them when addressed in French,
although they are for the most part Alsa-
tians and Swiss and speak patois which
Is known in some parts OF Europe as
"Platt- Deutsch Franzosisch." Many OF
the patrons of these places think 1T the
proper thing to address the walters as
'garcon" and to yentilate their bad French
when they give their orders, and the wait
er, with an eye to business, never smiles,
but frequently guesses at what is meant
he feels safe in bringing what he thinks
is wanted, because he knows that the
guest is not sufficiently versed in the Ian
guage to argue the point, and that he

ing to English. These walters are usually
called CASTOR, Jules, or by some equally
un American name, and the names be-
comes them to such an extent that they
answer to them without effort and as o
matter of course.
Long before the wholesale houses and
Offices close their doors for business the
days work ID over in these restaurants
The walters go to their homes for little
rest and toward evening the same men
may be seen in up town beerhouses, clubs
and vein stuben, where they meet another
class of people. There the waiter serves
beer and all sorts of German delicacies,
from Frankfurter and sauerkraut to kalter
aufschnitt, and French name would not
be in harmony with the surroundings
There are Pauls and Herrmanns and
Fritzes in these places who would be sur
prised to be addressed by any other name,
although few hours before they were
Pierre, Henri or Francois. For years these
men have morning and an evening
name One waiter said recently that he
had been called Felix in his down town
place for years, and that no one thinks of
calling him anything but Hermann in the
kneipe where he serves beer at night. "But
the funny part of it is, - he said, E'my
name is Julius. am Felix among the
French people and Hermann in the Ger
man walters society, and I have hard
work keeping my right name in my fam
lily. New York Tribune.
