The bitterest OF the bitter came to
Lawrence Heiskell when he was de-
ceived and dishonered by persons under
many obligations to him for favors in
the past and who conspired while in the
possession OF his confidence and infor-
nation. to defeat him for the position
OF Deputy State Supervisor of election.
The opposition to Heiskell from the For.
aker element was open and above abroad
and from principle, but they, a. we'll as

BUSINESS OUTLOOK.
Holiday Trade II Large and the he
manil for Products Increascs,

mand for Products Increascs.
New York. Dec. 25.-R. G. Dun g. Co.,
in their weekly review Of trade, say:
"The weekly reports show remarkably
large holiday trade at many points. the larg-
est for five years. Moreover, at the season
when wholesale business usually shrinks,
the pressure of demands for Immediate de-
liveries. which results from unprecedented
distribution to consumers. keeps many es-
adjustments at work that usually begin
their yearly rest spell somewhat earlier
Instead OF decreasing, the demand for prod
ucts shows an unexpected increase in sew
eral important branches. Foreign trade
continues satisfactory, even in compare
son with the remarkable record Of Il year
ago. when exports exceeded $117 900, 900 in
December. Bank failures at Philadelphia,
due to individual operations. cause no dis
turbance. and commercial failures for the
month have been less than half last years
to the same date.
1.-THE outgoing flood Of grain is not
checked by Chicago speculation, though
more corn than wheat has been moving.
Last years corn movement was by far the
greatest ever known, and this years whea
movement for the half year nearly ended
has been close to the maximum reached in
1891. Wheat has varied little, closing 3
cents higher for the week. after deliveries
of surprising magnitude at Chicago. and
corn closes nearly a cent higher Cotton
has also been moving largely and has risen
sixteenth.
"Failures for the week have been 292
in the United States. against 297 last year,
and 80 in Canada. against A last year."

Busy Day at Patent Office.

washington, Dec. 2o.-Three hundred
and sevcnty-ive applica tions for pat
ents were received at the patent office
Monday, the highest on record for any
one day in the history of the office. The
fact that the new law requiring persons
who have made applications abroad for
patents to file their applications in
this country within seven months of the
filing of the application for foreign
patent becomes operative on Janu-
ary / is accountable for the rush. Here
tofore applications could be filed at any
time within the life of patent issued

CHATELA1NE watches may be said to
lead in the present procession this
year. Some of them really beat the
band, SO encrusted with diamonds are
they, while others are content to wear
a coat of enamel or will be ornamented
by few precious stones just to add a
bit of sparkle to the passing hours.
There is new wrinkle regarding the
location of these tiny time-keepers, of
which their future possessors should
take note. Madame must not longer
wear her watch on the left side, but
fasten it like shirt stud in her tailor
made blouse: Verbum sap.

IT is interesting to others than stat.
isticians to know that the hairs of our
head are numbered. Certain scientific
.1nea have laboriously calculated the
number of hairs on square inch OF
heads Of different colors, and by esti-
mating the total area covered have ar
rived at aggregate numbers, which
may be taken as fairly correct. To
show the well intentioned accuracy of
these calculations a head of fair head
consists of $4,000 hairs. Dark hair is
coarser and only totals 1o5, 600: while
those who boast a poll of red must be
content with total of 29,20O.

Treasury VIII Enter the New Year
ON nm Even keel-The Sealing l1ll
Signed by the President.

| Washington, Dec. 3O.-The govern
ment's revenues have at last overtaken
it's expenditures. The treasury state
ment for the complete month of Decem-'
Der will show a surplus in current re-
ceipts over current payments of about
81 100000. This is, of course, exclusive of
the receipts on account of the Union Pa
| cific railroad. The statement for
| Wednesday shows surplus of $667 900,
receipts for the month having been $685.
100000, against expenditures amount
| ing to $25,029, 900. Aside from the Union
Pacific transaction the deficit for the
| first six months of the current fiscal
| year, ending with December, will ap-
proximate $44,5O0,000. On account of
the heavy interest payments next
| month the January statement may
show deficit which will carry the total
shortage close to $5O,0OO,O0O, but from
| that time on there will be a steadily
growing surplus, month by month,
with the possible exception of April,
which may "break even" or nearly so,
that being mouth of extraordinary
expenditures.
The proceeds of the sale of the Union
Pacific, including the item of SIS, 551 900
Wednesday, swell the total receipts for
the six months to little over $780,
100000. The statement for the full
month, which will be given out Fri
day, will show total receipts and
disbursements for the six months
to be about equal in amount.
In other words, the extraordinary re-
| ceipts from the sale of this property
have practically wiped out the deficit
of the first six months of the history of
the Dingley law, or, to speak more ac-
curately, the first five months, for it
did not go into operation until nearly
the 1st of August. The treasury will
go into the new calendar year of 1898
on an even keel, and experts will be
very much disappointed if at the end of
the fiscal year. June 30. 1898, the re-
ccipts and disbursements accounts do
not show handsome surplus. The rev.
enues from sugar alone will increase the
receipts nearly $5,000,000 month, be-
ginning not later than March,.
+ Sealing Bill Becomes a Law.
Washington, Dec. 3O.-Ex-Secretary
Foster had brief conference with the
president Wednesday, after which the
president approved the bill "prohibit-
ing the killing of fur seals in the wa
ters of the North Pacific ocean," passed
the day congress adjourned for the holi-
days.
The act prohibits the killing of seals
By American citizens, except as they
may be taken on the Pribyloff islands
by the North American Commercial
company. 1t also prohibits the impor-
tatiou of sealskins into the United
States whether raw. dressed, dyed or
manufactured"
The penalty for violation of the law
| is a fine of not less than 5000 or more
than $4,000, or imprisonment for not
more than six months, or both, for each
offense, including the forfeiture to the
United States OF the vessel, its tackle
anc cargo.

RELIEF IS THE ONLY AIM
De Lone Says Charity for Cuba
Is Not a Step Toward In
terVention.
STRONG DlSAPPRoVAL OF SUCH REPORTS
American Helm Will Be Received in
the Spirit in Which 1t Is Given
President Mckinley Asks the Peo-
pie to Prove Their Sympathy by
Their Contributions.

Washington, Dec. 20. 49, Mr.. Dupuy de
LONE, the Spanish minister, expresses
strong disapproval of reports that the
relief measures adopted by the United
States and cooperated in by Spain are
a step toward intervention by this gov
crnment in the affairs Of Cuba. The
minister characterizes such reports as
an effort to mix politics with charity
and as calculated to excite ill feeling
which will embarrass the charitable
movement and impede its execution IN
Havana and throughout the island. Re
ferring to the subject he said:
Will Embitter Both Countries
This talk Of intervention in certain
quarters has no other purpose than to en-
bitter both countries and teA divert the
original essential purpose or alms-giv1ng.
The extension Of aid toEthe sufferers IN
Cuba is no more intervention than was the
action Of all the nations of the world-in-
Guiding Spain-to extend help to Chicago
after the big fire. or that of the United
States in sending a ship load OF grain TO
Russia and last year to India. and to the
city Of London in sending food and money
to Paris when the siege by the Germans
was raised"
Will Be Received in Right Spirit
1T is perfectly we'll understood that the
American help will be received with the
spirit that it is given, and the American
government-as Secretary Sherman eK-
pressed In his recent letter-ofers The we'll
known generosity of the American people
in the same spirit that they have accepted
foreign help in cases of public calamity
statement as to the condition in Cuba for
get that the evils of war cannot be miti-
gated in short time. They fail to COM
pare the actual situation Of to-day with
that Of the past and they totally disregard
the efforts made to improve the situation
After all 1t Is probably unnecessary to an
swer those who will go to such an extreme
as to mix Intervention and intrusion with
the acts Of mercy Of a nation wei! known
for its generosity and charity"
Cabinet Discusses Relief Project.
Washington, Dec. 29.-Tuesday's cab
met meeting was unusually brief. Sec
retaries Gage and Bliss being out of the
city and Secretary Alger i'll, only five
| members attended. The appeal to the
American people for aid for the suffer
ers in Cuba was the principal topic Of
discussion. The president and all the
members of the cabinet are deeply in
terested in the relief project, and have
| taken every means at the command Of
the administration to facilitate the ex-
| tension of relief through the state de-
| partment here and Consul-General Lee
in Havana. 1t is expected that the first
responses to the appeal will come from
the large cities of the country, and the
belief is expressed that they will be
both prompt and generous. Several
| departmental matters of minor impor-
| tance also were brought to the presi-
| dents attentiOn.
