SPLIT HER LUNCH.
Sorry Accident to q Stylish Young wom-

Sorry Accident to q Stylish Young Wom-
an In Train.
The passengers on an early morning
train connecting with this city were
treated to thoroughly enjoyable scene
the other morning. At one of the small
stations a young lady boarded the train.
She was dressed rather stylishly, but
veil covered rather plain face. She
switched down the aisle like queen.
She barely deigned to glance at the
other passengers in the car, and when
she did her nose rose perceptibly at the
tip in q manner that spread the impress
sion Of contempt.
She carried Boston bag and the air
of a millionaire. There was but one seat
vacant. This was beside good looking,
nicely dressed young man who was read
ing paper.
When she came to this seat, she flop
ped down heavily and tossed her bag to
the seat between herself and the young
man. Two seconds later the young man
leaped from his seat, and a string of
earnest words Of doubtful origin fell
from his lips like vipers from the lips Of
the young woman in the fable.
The startled passengers looked to see
what had caused this outburst They
saw, and then they laughed. The nice
looking Boston bag contained an ordi-
nary, everyday working girls lunch.
One of its features was jar of coffee,
which had broken in the descent and
flowed freely over the young mans new
fall coat and trousers.
He went into the smoking car, swear
ing profusely. She murmured weak
apology and spent her time in hopping
up the eat.-Brockton Enterprise.

IRON INDUSTRY is ENCOURAGED.
Wheat Continues to Go to Europe and So
Toes Indian Corn.


Toes Indian Corn.
The iron industry has been greatly
encouraged by increased demand dur
\ ing the past few weeks. and while the
slight Improvement in pig iron at Pitts
/ burg has been maintained notwith-
standing the greatest output ever
known, the new contracts for finished
4 productshave been unusual for the sea-
son. They include 10000 tons of steel
4 rails to one eastern MILL 1000 tons
f Of structural work for improvements
at New York alone, with large opera
tions at Chicago and other cities and
a greatly increased demand for manu-
featured materials generally and es-
pecially for sheets. Minor metals have
been rather weak, with tin at 1876 cents
and copper at 1887. in spite of large ex-
ports, while lead is quoted at 3.725
cents and spelter 1856. The best Besse-
mer full. weight tin plates are selling
| al SSO5, against $40 for foreign. No
change in prices of coke appears, though
the shipments were the largest for any
week this year
The cotton industry Is halted by the
question of wages, although a general
reduction now seems probable. The
manufacturers have been buying large
4 ly of material for worsted goods, and
their purchases have stimulated buying
py wool manufacturers so that the wool
markets are stronger. though without
changes in quotations. After the great
exeitment at Chicago wheat still goes
out ofthe country aslargely as before, At
lantic ports reporting exports of 3,57U,7s3
bushels. flour included, against 1,542, $40
last year. and Pacific ports 1,712,625
bushels. In four weeks the Atlantic
exports, -four included, have been 49,
O0V'V4' bushels, against S,500,16 last
year Heavy western receipts are only

Chicago market
But extraordinary exports OF corn,

month been 0.3 per cent. larger than in
