ments through the clearing houses
IL per cent. higher than the same
week of 1892, it caunol be said that
business is in any sense falling off,
and yet many are complaining be-
cause the amount realized as profit
is smaller than was formerly realized
in good times. In almost every
branch of business trade is now
transacted on narrower margin of
pr oft than in any other time Of fair
prosperity. There is great change,
and, perhaps, permanent one, in
the percentage of profits from trade
and manufacture, as we'll as in
profits obtained bv transporters.
Progressive civilization calls for a
lower range of profits and of prices,
as the volume of business transacted
increases. in order to make an i'm
provement of the working millions.

BLAZE ON THE BEACH.
Atlantic City Loses Big Hotel
and Has Its Board Walk
Ruined.

Atlantic City, n. J., Feb. IA fire
which originated in the Academy of
Music this morning, destroyed a half
block of buildings, entailing a loss of
about $4,000 before being got under
control The origin of the fire is q mys-
terry. Officer Robinson discovered smoke
issuing from under the board walk in
front of the Academy of Music. A GEN
eral alarm was sent in, but before the
engines arrived the Academy of Music
was enveloped in flames
The fire spread to Lapres' corfection-
cry store and there communicated to the
rear OF the Bryn Mawr hotel and to
Bacharach's furnishing store, Rutters
school OF chronology, Myers photograph
gallery, the Gold Mine bath house,
Smiths chair esta blishment and a por-
ton OF the yltascOpe parlors on the board
walk.
For time it looked as though the
berkeley hotel, the largest hostelry on
kentucky avenue, would surely be de.
stroyed. The rear of the hotel adjoined
the burned buildings, and the stiff west
erly wind famed the flames toward the
Dig house. Several lines of hose were
run out Of the hotel windows and the side
OF the building and surrounding property
was thoroughly drenched. The guests in
the Berkeley hotel hurriedly packed their
clothing and prepared for a hasty exit,
but the wind shifted at this time and
this alone saved the hotel
The floor of the board walk for dis
lance Of half square was so badly dam
aged by the flames that it will have to be
rebuilt
The heaviest losers are: Academy of
Music, $4,000; insurance small, owned
by Joseph FraIinger. Lapres' confec-
tionery store, $4,000. Gold Mine baths,
$1,000; owned by S. S. Mervine. Stewart
McShea's household goods, $4,000. Bryn
Mawr hotel, $4,000. Bacharach's fur
niture store, $1,000.
Owing to the fact that the property de-
stroyed was all beach front buildings,
there is very little insurance, the insur-
ance companies refusing to take the
risks except at very nigh rates The
Academy of Music was destroyed by fire
in 1902

Old State Agricultural Society Does MOI
Owe Dollar.

F., Madison, Wis, Feb. 5.-[Special. 1.-The
committee appointed at the recent session
of the old State Agricultural society to
adjust the claim held against the society
by the Milwaukee litigants, succeeded in
effecteing satisfactory settlement with
them. and the officers say that every dol
lar OF its debts is now discharged. The
society has DO serious intention of at.
tempting to hold a fair this year, MOI
does it appear to have any definite plans
for the future. One prominent member
says, however, that it will not disband
but VIII maintain its organization. The
society still owns some property-en.
CINE, boiler and other articles-at the
Cold Spring grounds, of which it will re-
tain possession, but the use of which il
is willing to give to the new state board
for its fair this year.
The committee is not likely to ask OF
the new state board the privilege ct
recognizing" the old life members by
giving them free admission to the state
fairs, though they recognize the fact
that this would be a graceful thing for
the board to do voluntarily.

Case of a Cartwright (Wis.) Official
Who is in Custody at Knox
Vile, Tenn.

Knoxville, Tenn, Feb. 5.-The arrest
in this city of B. E. Marsh, acting post
master at Cartwright, Wis, was on
two charges-one for the fraudulent ap-
preparation of a money order, and the
other for fraudulent issuance of a money
order, the amount involved being $40.
Marsh was traced to this city by Post
office Inspector Maher of Wisconsin,
When Marsh called at the. postoffice for
his mail Assistant Postmaster Yeatman
notified Deputy Matthews, who made the
arrest. The mail handed to Marsh con-
sisted OF two letters from Wisconsin
friends and a decoy letter from the in
Spector
The case is rather peculiar one, and
on account OF the small amount involved,
Mr. Marsh has the sympathy of those
who heard his story. Inspector Maher
said to correspondent: ''Mr. Marsh
was acting as poStpaSter at Cartwright
for one of the bondsmen of the regular
postmaster, who is dead. He is a man
of family, and the postoffice is in a store
owned and run by him. His wife, [ be-
heVe. IS now running it. He is not a
fugitive here from justice, but | presume
is III the city on business. The $40 trans
action happened in this way: He drew
money order for $40 on an Office that is
not a money order office. Upon the order
and told the sender that he would for
ward the money to the party for whom
it was intended by express or registered
letter. We cannot find where the money
was ever sent. 1t may be that he can
explain the matter to his own satisfac-
ton, but the government has only one
plain course to pursue in the natter
Upon being asked for a statement,
Marsh said:
I own a store in Cartwright and my
wife is running it in my absence. I
am not trying to elude anyone but on
the contrary ali my people know where
l am. l have been in Knoxville month
coming here on account of severe ca
tarrh of the head, which this climate
seems to relieve. AS to the $40 transac-
ton for which / am arrested. [ can only
say do not know whether the person for
whom it was intended ever got the money
or not. | first sent it by money order
The office was not a money order office,
and the order was returned to me- l then
sent it by express. and shortly afterward
left home for the South. If the money
did not go to its destination [ was and
am able to repay it. and perfectly willing
to do so. No demand for it was ever
made to me, or to my wife that | k-.ow
of. | have money enough with me to set
tie several time that amount. | was
postmaster of the Cartwright Office ten
years previous to the Mckinley admins
tration, and have been serving as Il sub
stitute recently"
Marsh was taken before Commissioner
Carter, where the statements in the case
were made. United States District Attor-
ney Wright being present and represent
ing the government.
Marsh was held by Commissioner Car
ter in $3.50 bond. AS he has no friends
here. he was not able to give this, and will
await an officer from Milwaukee.
