In any case the transaction would be,
what no such transaction can be now,
unless by accident, absolutely just to
both parties.
The advantage of a new unit, bear
ing some characteristic name, is that
it would not require any change in the
present currency system or nomencla-
ture. We would still use and talk
about dollars Gland cents Only when
we came to make agreements and
contracts, and to- consider the terms
OF longtime payments, we would
express ourselves by means of the
new unit; and this would be trans
latable Instantly into terms of current
money. This idea eommends Itself
to us because of its simplicity. 1t
matters not, however, what the meth
cd of practical application may be,
SO that we get the multiple standard,
which is the next step in monetary
evolution, and the only reform that
can ever finally terminate the battle
of the standards and the clash of
financial theories, by establishing an
ideally just and unvarying standard
OF exchange for the first time in the
history of the human race

WORRIES THE TRADERS.
Present Prices of Wheat Make
Longs and Shorts Wary,

| n
Longs and Shorts Wary.
CHICAGO, Sept 12.-The Times Her
aid will say tomorrow: The majority of
! wheat traders are afraid of the price,
and as consequence the speculation
! Keeps very slow. The small stocks
| scare out the short seller: the fact
that the market is up around 81 keeps
the longs in tremble. 1t is not easy
to guess what the result will be. Pos
sibly spectators will become accus-
toned to the present range and activity
be established on that basis. 1t is real
ly a very doubtful position. Whether
the price has finally discounted the
news, or whether the spectators have
gone to extremes and carried the price
away beyond anything warranted, or
whether a future advance is ahead, is
a pure guess. No one is in a position
to decide about it, People with foreign
connections are cabling their CORE
spondents that the wheat problem is
one for them to solve; that everything
depends upon the character of the
European buying from this forward.
But this is not altogether true. Much
will depend upon the Western farmer
whether he sells 1eisurely or with a
rush. Exports are almost up to 1891
when wheat touched $1.16. The Ameri-
can crop is 100000 bushels less than
it was that year
There is no new development in the
speculative position. A big long inter
est still exists in December but it is
taking no important part in the mar
ket No one interest is controlling this
year. No one is trying very hard to
control. The only interest of impor-
lance is in December, which is ninety
days off. For years wheat was very
clearly a short seller affair; the market
for that reason was an easy one to
guess, and the professional was salts
fed with the situation. The profess
sional of late has been finding it as
hard work to get right as the outsider,
and he thinks something is wrong.

Talked of Carving.

Mrs c. R. Sedgwick, colored. who claims
to be a cook and live at Saltwater. was ar
rested last evening at 1913 West Third street,
on a charge of disorderly conduct. The Still
water woman threatened to carve Mrs.
Casey and "carve her deep" so to avoid any
such trouble Mrs. Casey, who. by the way. is
also colored, notified the police. After Mrs
Sedgwick was placed in the female ward at
the central station she created some excite
ment by throwing chair through one Of the
W ndows in the matron's room. 1t required
the assistanceof two of the officers to place Eer
in CELL and it was not until she had deposited
the hest part of two ounces of snuff beneath
her upper and lower lips that she quieted
down. Mrs Sedgwick informed the officers
that cher man had been trihing, and there
was likely to be trouble for somebody.

THEY WON'T QUOTE THIs.

When the Hanna editorial bureau
proclaimed the rise into legislation of
the Dingley act as the sunburst of
prosperity and began furnishing the
Hannacratic press with ready made
editorial matter carrying the news to
Hanna and the rest of the country,
they offered, in support of their asser-
lions OF the sunrise, quotations from
buns weekly state ment of market con-
ditions, prefacing them with the in
defsement of that agency as a conserv-
atlVe institution whose statements were
dependable. What it said was offered
in support of the hand-me-down bu-
reau's assertion that the increase of
business noted was entirely due to the
enactment of the Dingley bill
Following that very impudent asser-
ton has been it's reiteration by Repub-
l1can papers in all degrees of positive

were cause and effect Dingleyism and

ing; business improved after the Ding
ley bill passed; therefore business i'm
proves because the Dingley bill passed.
Dun now explains why business i'm
proved, why the mills started up, why
merchants went to buying what the
mills made. 1t says this week:
The farmers are helped by higher prices

show that they have marketed a tenth of

This is only what the Clio b e has

ration of conditions. 1t is the main
cause but not the sole one. The Ding

1t was the brake on the wheels while
being prepared and its passage was the
removal of the brake o., Ali business
was, as Senator Aldrich said, in a
state of suspense awaiting the passage
of the bill that it might know the con
ditions to which it must adjust itself.
Confidently came dollar-wheat pros
poets with their assurance of enlarged
purchasing power. Then the mills
started, anticipating markets for their
output when the wheat was marketed.

Look Out For Them.

A number of swindlers who have
been around this city for the past few
days tried to beat number of peo-
pie Monday night with the old thread
bare trick of buying an article for a
small amount and rendering in pay
ment for the same a ten dollar bill.
After the change is made they discov-
er they had the ready change and ask
for a five dollar bill for the small
change, putting the first five dollar
bill in their pocket. When the mer-
chant lays down the five dollar bill
for the change, they say just let me
have the ten dollar for this charge
and shove you back the five dollars
in change and your own hive dollar
bill for the ten and before you have
time to think of the transaction they
are gone and you are out five dollars.

custors and browns are seen in many
OF the creations, but will not command
the attention that was given them last
season.
An arrangement that shows long and
handsome plumes to the best possible
advantage is the smart hat of boat
shape-that is, turning up at both
sides in the approved walking hat style.
This hat Is designed for walking. to
be worn with trim, tailor-made street
gowns. The original of the sketch
shown here was of black velvet, the
two long, graceful plumes of black,
the loops of satin ribbon, and the slide
buckles of silver set with jewels. This
pattern has also bet followed in the
making of two other very elegant hats,
one all of rich gold brown and the
other of dark blue. The plumes OF
the brown hat shaded from dark
brown to the softest # cream color.
Another chapeau Of the walking hat
variety has feathers arranged exactly
opposite to the one just described. On
this hat the plumes trail from the back
to the front, the ends falling just over
the front. A shorter plume droops
down at the back over the hair.
bunch of velvet flowers is put under
the brim at the left side. This hat
Is all in black. save the artistic
aigrette, which is white, and the bunch
of flowers, which-in this case-is OF
yellow. Quite as fetching is this hat
in colors.
A simple model in velvet has low
crown, wide brim. and Is quite suit
able for a young girl. This is trim
med with loops OF satin ribbon,
aigrette, a long plume, and cluster
of bright-colored flowers at the back.
One might add here that the modists
are using plush for the foundations OF
hats and toques, says a Paris fashion
letter. 1t Is less common than velvet,
for two-thirds Of the autumn hats are
made Of velvet. Felt is reserved for
the morning, or to top busness-like
costume, and is usually trimmed with
cocks plumes and one large oddly
shaped rosette Of bright velvet, orange
or mazarin blue being preferred.
A pretty winter house dress among
Doucets models is cut with the skirt
trifle under four metres around,
with godets behind. The material is
royal purple cashmere satin, the col
or being lovely in this soft glossy ma
terial. The two side-front seams and
the two in the back are trimmed near
the top by six small straps OF white
velvet, held by buttons Of cut steel.
The bodice is a loose Russian blouse,
with belt and deep revers of white vel
vet trimmed with steel embroidery,
and Il tiny chemisette OF pale pink
mousseline de sole arranged In clusters
of shirring. The sleeves. which are
rather close over the middle of the
arm, fare out at the wrist, showing a
dear little shirred under-sleeve of
mousseline dc sole.

The Outdoor Woman.

For some mysterious reason the long
dress skirt seems to be in general favor
with women tennis-players. l do not
mean with those of the first rang, who
compete in the large tournaments, but
with the average players one meets at
the small clubs and on private
courts everywhere. They do not real
ize how greatly they are Handicapped
by the yards of useless cloth f1apping
about their feet. owing to the agility
and swiftness OF motion required IN
tennis, it is a sport for which the short
skirt is as necessary as II ls for Dlcycl-
ing or for golf.
The weakness Of most women in
play ng mixed doubles, and the fact
that it is usually understood that the
men are to do all the work possible,
have led to certain tricks in the game.
In order to compel .he woman on the
opposing sides to rely upon her own
efforts. man watches his chance to
send the ball directly at her az time
when her partner is in distant part of
the court. If she ss unaccustOmed, as
she generally is, to being forced to re-
turn swift balls, she viii. hesitate, wait
ing for her partner to come up, and

she will dodge II at the last moment.
for fear Of being hit. This description
still applies TO large number of wom-
en- players. AS long as their masculine
opponents find the plan successful it
will continue To BE Used, and the only
remedy is for the women to practise
voleying until driving at them across
the net will no longer be Il safe pro-
ceed:ng. Mixed doubles would then
gain greatly III interest for all cou-
cerned.-Harper's Bazaar.

Killed by his Pruning Shears.
Well. Known Professor HomperIy Falls on
the Blade.

Death by such fall upon his prun,
ing shears as to sever his jugular vein
was the fate of Professor Samuel
Miles Hemperly, of Myerstown, Thurs
day afternoon. He was trimming the
vines about his home, and while thus
engaged lost his balance on a twenty
foot ladder and fell.
AS he struck the ground a blade of
the shears pierced his neck, severing
the jugular, and causing death in a
few minutes. When neighbors, who
witnessed the accident, picked him
up, death had already occurred.
Professor Hemperly was prominent
in church, educational and political
work. He was professor of mathe
matics in Palatirate College for four
terms. He was 5S years old.
