tive and asked TO come to the private
office. The lady did so. There she met
some serious-faced men who charged her
with stealing a pOcket-book. She denied
the charge, and said she mad only one
pocket-book, the one In her hand. which
she then opened and found within II the
price-mark of the store. Almost over
come by the situation, she declared that
she had lost her own and had taken this
purse up inadvertently. making an eX
change i'm error. They sent to the coun-
ter and found the lady's pocket-book
there in a basket full Of pocket-books,
some of them like the one she had taken
by mistake. much resembling It. There
was this difference, however: In her own
purse was $500 in currency, a check Of her
fathers for 81 $50. which she was in
structed 10 pay into a city bank a par

0Cleveland pain Dealerl


The bulletin issued by the Treasurer
Bureau Of Statistics in regard TO the
business Of the great canals Of the world
once more brings into prominence the
importance of the Sault canal in COM
parison with the other great canals OF

of the commerce of the great lakes.
The tonnage of the SueZ canal reached
its maximum in 1891, when IL was SOS, ~.
Since that time there has been compare
lively little change, the figures for 1897.
being slightly below those OF the pre-
ceeding year.

is the Kaiser Wilhelm canal, between the
North sea and the Baltic. It's tonnage for
the fiscal year ending March 81 1895. was

WASHINGTON. u. C., December IA
Spanish shipping is not to enjoy preferen-
tIal treatment in the Cuban and Porto
Rican trade. under the terms Of the
peace treaty. Something Of that nature
may be brought about in negotiations that
must follow between the United states
and Spain as part Of the project for the
restoration Of commercial relations but
so far f. has not been provided for. al
though the Spanish commissioners made
a special request that the privilege should
be accorded. The text Of the treaty has
not vet been received at the Department
of state The document IS so long that
the expense of cabling II textually would
be very great, and would not be war
ranted. i'm view of the fact that the
government already possesses a sufficient
lv accurate outline OF the articles.
The American commissioners are eX-
pected TO sail Saturday, which will bring
them 10 their homes by Christmas. They
will bring the treaty with them, and IT
is believed that the document will bo
published before II IL delivered 10 the
Department Of State. Notwithstanding the
Madrid intmation that IL is TO be printed
as a Red Book.
