seemingly exercised on pretty women as
strong an influence as ever Du Maurier's

gone: left husband, home and pretty baby,

He too, has disappeared from his accus-

is, therefore, that Reigg and his young
scholar in music, to whom he paid so much
attention aud Of WHOM he predicted such
promise, are together.

On one occasion two gentlemen, In
vited ms guests at table where Mr..
Gladstone was expected, made wager
that they would start conversation
on n subject about which even Mr..
Gladstone would know nothing. To
accomplish this endithey read up an
ancient magazine article on some un-
familiar subject connected with Chi
nese manufactures. When the favorable
opportunity came the topic was start
ed, and the two conspirators watched
with amusement the growing interest
in the subject which Mr.. Gladstone's
face betrayed. Finally, he joined in
the conversation, and their amuse-
ment was turned into gnashing of
teeth-to speak figuratiyely-when Mr..
Gladstone said: "Ah, gentlemen, ]
perceive you have been reading an
article wrote in the 49, magazine
some 30 or 40 years ago."-St. James

AN UGLY DEED.
Continued from page ~

Fl There was no answer.
Il will say to you, Mrs. George" said
the prosecuting attorney. that If you
had nothing to do with this we will not
delay you q moment
There was no answer and the prose
cutor. said: DO you know why the Off
GERS brought you here?'
No answer.
do you know that Mr.. Saxton is
dead?' was the next question.
There was no answer to this or other
questions, and Mrs. George was taken
into the woman's department and an ex-
animation was made. Nothing was found
on her. The skin of her hands was
scraped and will be analysed to see
whether there is any trace of gunpowder
3n them. She was then locked up to
await hearing.
1t is common talk that Mrs. George
made frequent threats to take SaxtOn' S
life. Many of these threats are said to
have been sent through the mails, and
the federal grand jury sitting i'm Cleve-
land last fall. indicted her for alleged i'm
proper use of the mails. Mrs. George
gave bond and the indictment, so far as
IS known here. is still alive.
Sample c. George is now reported to
have been married to second wife for
more than q year. He is said to have
married in Wheeling. Miss. Lucy Ora
ham of Alliance, and the marriage was
kept secret until after the settlement
with Saxton. AS soon as George got his
damage money from Saxton he an
bounced his second marriage.
Mrs. George claims Saxton deceived
her and deserted her for another.

Peculiar Business Situation Cotton, Iron
and Wheat All Improving.

New York. Oct. 7.--R. G. Dun & Co. $,
Weekly Review of Trade, tomorro ",
Will say: The last quarter of 1898 be-
sins with sensational troubles in wool,
The Tradesmen's National Bank hav-
ing failed. with large reported loans to
the wool warehouse, while the Wool
Exchange has stopped sales and the
Wool Record has stopped publication.
and the same week witnessed the fail
ure of the Sawyer Mills and the Ply
mouth Mills. 1t can do no good to dis
guise the fact thatthe large Eastern adj
Vances i'm wool to be held for higher
prices has helped to retard the natural
decline in that product. of which 100
quotations by Coates Bros. of Phii:a-
delpiAia. averaged 1871 cents against
2o.S3. February l, while extraordinarily
small sales. only 2,6l4.400 pounds for
the week at the three chief markets,
against 14.337 900 last year, 1868, 800 in
1896 and 7.099,600 in 1892. indicate very
little demand at this time for manufac-
ture. The truth is that demand for the
goods is not helped by high prices for
Wool
The cotton Industry shows better
conditions in spite of the fall of cot
ton to the lowest quotation ever known,
and there is larger demand for most
